1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know when a show starts like that

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: that something big happened. And Dan hands us with Mark

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: Cecil and Greg Rosenthal. Connie Fox is gonna join us

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 1: in a few minutes. But let's start with the big news.

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer, Arizona Cardinals no more, the quarterback has decided

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: to retire after fifteen seasons. Uh. He makes the announcement

7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: with an open letter h two fans that reads, in part,

8
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: over the years, I've had teammates who decided to hang

9
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: it up, and I would ask them how they knew

10
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: when it was time to walk away. The answer was

11
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: almost the same, always the same. You just know for

12
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: me that time is now. Why? Quite simply, Mark, I

13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: just know shocked. No, thirty eight years old tied it

14
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: the hip with Bruce Arians and with arians departure. Are

15
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: you going to stick around with the Cardinals or go

16
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: somewhere else? Have to completely reboot offensively in terms of scheme,

17
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: and you know you're coming off multiple injuries over the

18
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: last couple of years. For this guy, I just think

19
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: the Palmer sort of a chill dude too, who's kind

20
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: of ready to say, yep, I'm ready to go Southern

21
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: California boy, for sure. I mean, he made a lot

22
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,919
Speaker 1: of money. He was the number one overall pick before

23
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: the rookie draft scale came into effect. He was the

24
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: highest paid player in the league for a time on

25
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 1: his second contract. A really good career, top fifteen all

26
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: time in passing yards and I believe touchdown. But unfortunately,

27
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: I'll kind of remember it for some what ifs. You know,

28
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: what if he doesn't tear his a c L in

29
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: the two thousand five playoffs. That was definitely the best

30
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: Bengals team of my lifetime. I thought they had a

31
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: chance to make a run at a super Bowl that year.

32
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: I think that was also the best he ever played.

33
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: I thought he was the third best quarterback in the

34
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: league behind Brady and Manning at that time. And then

35
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: you think of two thousand and fourteen when he was

36
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: six and oh as the Cardinals starter and he tore

37
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: his a c L a second time. The great thing

38
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: is that he did come back and play very while

39
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: the next year, and he did kind of get that, hey,

40
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna win a playoff game. I'm gonna have a

41
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: nice little run as an elder statesman. I mean, I

42
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: also remember him basically in two thousand and ten saying

43
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: or two thousand eleven, I'm willing to retire right now

44
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: and sit on my couch. And I refused to play

45
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: for the Bengals. And he was like Chris Wesseling twelve

46
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: years later, he just could not stand the Bengals anymore.

47
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: He was done with football if he couldn't get out

48
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: of it. The Bengals the pit stop, with the Raiders

49
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: traded to the Cardinals, and with Bruce Arians who we're

50
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: gonna get to it a little bit, who's also leaving football. Uh,

51
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 1: really revitalized his career. And yeah, that two thousand six

52
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: knee injury, Uh, forever and every Cincinnati football fans mind

53
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: the name Chemo von Old Hoffen is burned into it.

54
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: It was his low hit that really pulverized Palmer's knee.

55
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: Was thought at the time potentially to be a career

56
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: ending injury. It was that serious. He made it back

57
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: and had a really great Is he a Hall of Fame?

58
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 1: It took him, you know that when he came back, though,

59
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: it took him a while to get really back up

60
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: to speed. Do you think I think he's a Hall

61
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: of Famer? No, I don't think much of a chance

62
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: of the Hall of Fame. I don't think I'll even

63
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: really get seriously discussed for that. And I think if

64
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: you're a fan of if you remember the All or

65
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: Nothing season, the first season of that show, which is

66
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: essentially Hard Knocks but blown up to a full season,

67
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: they documented that Cardinals team, which was the closest ultimately

68
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: he ever got to the Promised Land, got to the

69
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: NFC Title Game, and then I just couldn't hang. They

70
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: got overmatched and then I see title game. But it

71
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: was a great career for Palmer, but maybe it didn't

72
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: reach quite the heights coming into the league as a

73
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: prodigy and a guy who thought could be multiple championships

74
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: type of question. He would have had to come out

75
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: of this with a couple of Super Bowl titles, and

76
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: that you're so right, Greg, that two thousand and five season,

77
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: I don't know of Pittsburgh with Big Ben wins that

78
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowl if if that intrigue hadn't occurred, that was

79
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: a sensational Bengals team. And and in my head, I'm thinking, Okay,

80
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: tours a c L and that was a shame. But

81
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: he did come back, could lead the league in yards

82
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: per attempt the only time he ever made an All

83
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: Pro team. Uh. They won that exciting playoff game over

84
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: the Packers. Uh So it's not like he really seemed

85
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: that effective. He was very good under Bruce Arians. Who

86
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: that mean That's part of arians His legacy too, is

87
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: he brings out the best in these guys. And speaking

88
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati, his old coach, Carson Bauma's old coach, Marvin Lewis,

89
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: we thought his forever run in Cincinnati was going to end.

90
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: And that is the other big piece of breaking news.

91
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: This all came out, as you may suspect, we taped

92
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: earlier today. We have to get this out there before

93
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: the show went live. So Marvin Lewis is back, and

94
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: we wish Chris Wesling was here just to get West's

95
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: reaction to it. West never bought into the fact that

96
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis could leave. And guess what, Marvin Lewis, against

97
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: the odds, is back for what is this is five

98
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: season something like that, somewhere between sixteenth season coming up?

99
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: Mike Brown, how did he do it? How did he survive?

100
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: It's a it's amazing, Like Bengals are different, Mike Brown,

101
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 1: You don't know that's my Damnaeck doing an impression of

102
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: West impression. It's crazy because the exact same thing happened

103
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: back Inn where he got to the end of his contract.

104
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: Everyone said that he was going to leave, and then

105
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: they ended up, I think, sort of doing this dance

106
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: and according to what Ian Rappaport reported, where they kind

107
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: of looked at outside candidates or possibly people that could

108
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: come in, and Louis was maybe gonna take some interviews

109
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: and then they just kind of looked around and was like,

110
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: I guess we're just better off together. That seems better. Well,

111
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: I think they were waiting to see if there was

112
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: any chance that Jay Gruden was ever let go and

113
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: well rapp report also noted that Louis had heard from

114
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: another team with a vacancy wanting him as their head coach.

115
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: I love to know who that was, and they were,

116
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: you know, potential potential on fire about we gotta get

117
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: huge acton we gotta get the one and thirty one

118
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: guy in the building. I want to know how real

119
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: that was. This is not gonna be popular with Bengals

120
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: fans because I know marvin Us has had a good

121
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: run overall, but they're they're tired of him. They're tired

122
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: of these fifteen years in the last two years, and

123
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: I get it. I I always defend Marvin Lewis's track record,

124
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: but sometimes it just it feels like your time is up,

125
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: and it felt like that was I think. I know

126
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: what West would say, But do you think that that

127
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: the last two weeks of their season, especially that went

128
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: over Baltimore, changed anything in terms of his fate? I

129
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: could have. I mean, especially I don't think that game.

130
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: It shouldn't. But I'm wondering if if that joyfulness from

131
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: the way they ended the season, if that maybe put

132
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: things over the hub, I wouldn't put it back. Maybe

133
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: the football gods simply won't allow Dom Capers and Marvin

134
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: Lewis to be killed in the same st I do,

135
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: I do. I do think back to the factorier wise.

136
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: You know, two weeks ago, on this podcast and on

137
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: national television, both the ESPN and OUR network reported that

138
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,239
Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis had mutually agreed to part ways, and Marvin

139
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: Lewis was on the record talking with Ian Rappaport about

140
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: possibly looking at them jobs elsewhere. And I do think

141
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: it might have been Marvin Lewis's way of I don't know.

142
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just speculating, but his way of kind

143
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: of saying to Bengals ownership, like he wasn't happy with

144
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: how talks were going at the time, like all right,

145
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: I'm leaving. If that's what you want, I'm leaving. Like

146
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: that was his public way of doing that, and then

147
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: the Bengals respond, maybe give him a little more of

148
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: what he wants. Though, by the way, when you're like

149
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: five and he's not a bluff though, it's he really

150
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: was ready to leave, you know, if if Brown didn't

151
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: maybe change his mind, because when Lewis was asked about it,

152
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: he said, well, I'd be open to it if certain

153
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: things are or maybe maybe a change of heart when

154
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: he realized suddenly I'm not going to be a coach

155
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: anymore and I still want to be. Maybe when he

156
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: had that really awkward high ten with Andy Dalton after

157
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: they beat the Ravens and all click that he wanted

158
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: to staff. By the way, Ian Bengals fans reported on

159
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: our air that other teams were poking around the idea

160
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: of Marvin Lewis. Three of us have now said okay,

161
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: it's all covered um and one more thing before we

162
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: get the show started circling back UH to the Carson

163
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: Palmer situation. You wonder if Larry Fitzgerald now follows uh

164
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: cousin Brucey and QB one out the door. It is

165
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: a time of change for the Cardinals who came close,

166
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: but now they have to start something new. All right,

167
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: that's it, that's breaking news. Hopefully we won't have to

168
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: do this again before the show goes live. Now, let's

169
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: send it to us and Connie for the rest of

170
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: the show The Around the NFL Podcast, he is close

171
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: to finalize. You need extension through Welcome back to another

172
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: edition of the Round the NFL Podcast presented by Head

173
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: and Shoulders. My name is Dan Hansons, and I have

174
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: joined by a room filled with here I was in

175
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight teen, Mark Sessler, Colleen Wolf, and

176
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal, lots of people. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey hey.

177
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: We will definitely have fractured and split apart, either by

178
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: our own will and Hugh in quirks or by the

179
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: company's will and much sooner. That reminds me of our

180
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,719
Speaker 1: flight back from the owners meetings, I think three three

181
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: or four years ago. Mark and we were just kind

182
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: of talking about the future of the podcast, and he

183
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: was just like he was just like, I don't know

184
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: if we're gonna all be able to keep it together,

185
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: Like the egos are going to get too big. I

186
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: was like, what are you talking about? We were we

187
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,040

261
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: through all of them, Greg, and then the first show

264
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: much news to get to. And let's start with comings

265
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: and goings, and here's a going Bruce Arians after five

266
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: years as the head coach of the Cardinals. This was

267
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: percolating for a while. In fact, I wanna, you know,

268
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: say nothing. I don't want to talk out of school here,

269
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: you know. But the old ATN Media Insider had had

270
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: a conversation back in early September, and I said on

271
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: this podcast that there was no chance that Bruce, and

272
00:14:51,680 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: but this was it. I don't remember that. And you

273
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: break so much information. I don't understand why you left

274
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: the news division of It's hard. It's just hard to

275
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: keep up with it all. Yeah, I get it, I

276
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: get it. But Arian's is done. This was his last year.

277
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: He had a um emotional news conference making the announcement,

278
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: and UM first he described or during the press comments,

279
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: he described why he was leaving his postals here with

280
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: Bruce had to say the tears you see are really

281
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: tears of joy and peace. I'll miss I'll miss the players,

282
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: I'll miss coming out of the locker room here in

283
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: the national anthem because it still gets me. But somehow,

284
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: some way, I'm gonna be in touch with the game

285
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: and I'm not leaving the valley. And if you know

286
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: anything about the life of an NFL head coach from

287
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: a distance like us, but you still know how much

288
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: hours they put in. Bruce had something of a come

289
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: to Jesus, come to Colleen's type moment. Uh. During a

290
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: conversation with his wife, he also talked about that probably

291
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: one of the hardest things for me this year was

292
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: sitting at the lake this summer and Christie, you know,

293
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: Jake's can be forty, his son, And I mean, it

294
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: hit me like a ton of bricks that that I

295
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: missed all that time. Oh God, I'm gonna cry. And

296
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: that's coaching. There you go. So Bruce Arians ends Greg.

297
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: What was a great run with the Cardinals. They never

298
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: got over the hump, never quite got to the Super Bowl,

299
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: but and one got to the NFC title game, made

300
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs twice. Uh, and Arians is out. And what

301
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: a gift that he got this opportunity that we got

302
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: to see him as a head coach, that his players

303
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: got to know him as a head coach, because it

304
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: could have easily have never happened. A career assistant who

305
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: got his first chance at sixty, a guy who won

306
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: Coach of the Year for two different franchises, was that

307
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: back to back years. I think within three years, within

308
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: three years. I mean, that's it's just an insane run.

309
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: And he just seemed like when he wrote he wrote

310
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: a really great book with Lars Anderson called The Quarterback Whisper,

311
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: and in that book he he telegraphed pretty clearly he

312
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: thought this was gonna be his last year just because

313
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: he thinks there's more to life. And props to him.

314
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: I hope, I hope he has a great and I

315
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: think he's gonna have a sense. They'll be in the media,

316
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: so I don't think we're gonna lose. Bruce arians Ian

317
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 1: said that he's hired a media agent. What if he

318
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: takes the spot of Jon Gruden, that would be great,

319
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: and we're gonna get to Gruden in a second. But

320
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: that Monday Night post is about to hope open up.

321
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 1: He even made a winking reference in the press conference.

322
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: He said, you know, he I even love working with

323
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: you guys, reforning to the media. Maybe I'll be on

324
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: your side or something like that. So expecting to pop

325
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: up either on a pregame show or maybe even in

326
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,479
Speaker 1: a booth. We shall see. I asked him one time,

327
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: I've had you go to these owners meetings. You mentioned

328
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: the owners meetings that do you have a chance to

329
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: sit down where they're eating breakfast and there aren't that

330
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: many people there, and you can sit with these coaches

331
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: for thirty minutes if you want. And I'll never forget

332
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: arians just eating this and played of like eggs and

333
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: bacon and we were just talking about like stuff over

334
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: a little bit off the topic of football. It was

335
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 1: it was the thing was wrapping. And asked him what

336
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: he would do if he wasn't a coach, and he

337
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: talked about he loves teaching and he wants to always

338
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: be around the environment of teaching and counseling. And I

339
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: honestly think that if it's not broadcasting, that he's going

340
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: to continue to work with people for the rest of

341
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: his life because he had incredible passion to talked about

342
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: his players over and over and his players that he

343
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: coached twenty years ago who are now in their forties

344
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: and aging and they still have that tight relationship. I

345
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: think he's a lifer in terms of working and mentoring,

346
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: and he's gonna do a lot of charity work. That's

347
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: what he was referencing in the In the bit we

348
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: played he's gonna stay in the Sun Valley and he's

349
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: got a lot of charity work. I I got a

350
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: chance to talk to him at the All or Nothing

351
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: Premier in downtown l A. And he was belly up

352
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 1: to the bar and a very very very real person,

353
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,719
Speaker 1: very true to himself obviously, and kind of a naturally

354
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: charismatic matic guy. Um, it's gonna be at the combine

355
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: this year. No Bruce arians Ted Tom's are about to

356
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: get to He was always one of my favorite guys

357
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,239
Speaker 1: with his dry sense of humor. He will not be

358
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: at a podium this year. These are the type of

359
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: guys you want around in the NFL, and when they

360
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: kind of take a step out of these roles, it

361
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: does hurt that seeing him and Sean Payton drinking together

362
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: at the bar there's only like one bar that everybody

363
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: goes to an indie, and it was like you would

364
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 1: automatically see those two together or at like the cigar

365
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: bar together. But just hearing him talk, he's so genuine

366
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: and you can obviously see it from the tears that

367
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: he's shedding and when he's talking about his family, and

368
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: you can tell that he's a family guy. And I

369
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: think that translates so much with the players because he

370
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: seems like a dad, Like I feel like he's he's

371
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: a dad. He's the coach that if I could have

372
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: a beer with any coach, it would be Bruce Arians. Well,

373
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: now now he has time to do that with you.

374
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: I mean West West loves him to death too. I

375
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: wish West were here to talk about him. But I

376
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 1: think he's an example of someone when you find your

377
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: opportunity later in life. He he absolutely knew who he

378
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: was and that's why we got this Bruce, the Spruce Arians,

379
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: who was so honest and real and not someone that

380
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: I think if you get, if you're into it early,

381
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,239
Speaker 1: it can change you. Right. Here's a great example that

382
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: I hope other coaches follow. I don't think they will.

383
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: He gave more information to the media and was just

384
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: himself than any coach, and it's not like he heard

385
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: him at all. He had an incredible career, an incredible

386
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: run lifting up this Cardinals team. He also changed the

387
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 1: career of Peyton Manning. He changed the career of Ben Roethlisberger,

388
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: he changed the career of Andrew Luck and then he

389
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 1: changed this franchise in Arizona and spinning forward. The Cardinals

390
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: have put in a request to interview Vikings offensive coordinator

391
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: and former Brown's head coach Pat Shermer that according to

392
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: rap sheets, so things are gonna be different around the Cardinals,

393
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: and probably not quite as they have a bunch of requests.

394
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: I think sports your boy, Brian, Brian Flores. The Patriots

395
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: could lose all sorts of coaches. Get ready. I'm really

396
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: sad about this one. I'm sad that he's out. Why

397
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: don't you should call him up and have a chet?

398
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: Is it so cold in Philadelphia too? It's freezing the

399
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 1: Ted Thompson Ted Thompson who has been the general manager

400
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: of the Packers since two thousand five. A lot of

401
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: people view Thompson as one of the best in the business. Well,

402
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: he's no longer been being that role. In what would yeah,

403
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: let's say, bombshell announcement by the Packers, uh, he will

404
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: be transitioning from GM and Director of Football Opts to

405
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: a senior adviser to football operations, which is pretty nebulous,

406
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: the team announced Tuesday. UH. Thompson's greatest move ever, of course,

407
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: was selecting Aaron Rodgers when he fell in the first

408
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: round of the two thousand five draft, and he obviously

409
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: benefited from uh twelve years of Rogers greatness, or once

410
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: Rogers got any still left brought far for a while there. However,

411
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: greg Um the idea that Thompson and maybe it came

412
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: through this year, and we don't know the whole story here,

413
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: but maybe it came through that at a certain point,

414
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: if Aaron Rodgers goes out, you shouldn't be the worst

415
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 1: team in football. How much do you think that to

416
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: have played into the fact that they just seemed to

417
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: be so vulnerable if the greatest quarterback in the league

418
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 1: is not helping. I think it was a big factor

419
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: that the lack of depth that they had. They did

420
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 1: dive into free agency a little more over the last

421
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: few years, but I think that frustrated Um some people

422
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: around Green Bay. And the reason I say that is

423
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: because Bob McGann, the veteran reporter covered them for a

424
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: long time now, as his own online website said, the

425
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: board of directors pushed him out. So that's that's his

426
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 1: report that they they instructed the CEO to push him out.

427
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: It mentioned some health issues with him perhaps and even

428
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: more interestingly, I think the article suggests that the change

429
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: in GM, and it's expected to be an in house candidates,

430
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: and he's he has a lot of guys, including Elliott Wolfe.

431
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: Ron Wolf's old his son, who is the guy who

432
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: trained Ted Thompson. It suggests that Mike McCarthy might not

433
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: be safe with the new general manager. Well, I don't

434
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: think it's going to be an in house candidate. And uh,

435
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: our own guil brand Um passed on a nugget this

436
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 1: morning to me that Elliott wolf Brant also wished them

437
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: a VP, A happy and gay. Brand's all over the place.

438
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: He's got a lot of handles. But so they have

439
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: Elliot wolf who's the director of football Opicstion, and they

440
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: have this guy Brian goodakunst who is apparently they both

441
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 1: interviewed last year for the Niners GM spot didn't get it,

442
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: but everyone knows everyone knows Ron Wolf. So everyone talks

443
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: about Elliott Wolfe NonStop. Is this he this future wonder boy?

444
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: But everyone talked about Brian Goodacuntz is the guy knocked

445
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: the interview out of the park. And Elliott wolf is

446
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: still a guy who is young and learning, has a

447
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: ways to go. So I'm not I wouldn't assume it's

448
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: Wolf that just steps into that role despite the wolf obviously, yeah, obviously,

449
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: I never underestimate. Yeah, well that's I know. I mean,

450
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: come on, he's who care Brian Gooda Kuntz. No, it's

451
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: gotta be Elliott Wolf. Well what about don't don't downsize

452
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: over Wolf. I am so intrigued by the idea that

453
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy could be out there, because that is a s.

454
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: I mean, Thompson, his first draft pick was Aaron Rodgers

455
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: made a lot of great draft picks over the year,

456
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: especially at wide receiver, uh and in the offensive line.

457
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he took some guys in the fourth round

458
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: that turned into a job. He did a great job,

459
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: but it kind of eroded the last three or four

460
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: years if you look at their job. And I just

461
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: love the idea of maybe Aaron Rodgers getting a different

462
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: coach for Wow, that would be crazy. You're hot about that,

463
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: You're hotting the pants about that. I just think it

464
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: would be a good story. You know, I don't I

465
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: don't agree that with that at all. Dan, in our

466
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: current environment, I would suggest new phrasing. I just got

467
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: some hot pants about it. That's all not a hot

468
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: but you do the math. I don't need to do

469
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: math round that area, thank you. In other news, the

470
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: Raiders are very confident um they will replace Jack del Rio,

471
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: who they let go on after Sunday's Week seventeen finale

472
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: with Jon Gruden the ownership that according to rap Sheet

473
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: and uh As, Greg said, I can't remember, Greg, if

474
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 1: you said at the beginning of today's show or before

475
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: we start start roll link, so I'll just add a

476
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: quote from Gruden. My understanding is that they're interviewed in

477
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: candidates this week, and they're going to let everybody know

478
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: sometimes sometimes early next week or whenever they make their decision.

479
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 1: I am being considered. Yes, I hope I'm a candidate.

480
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: Did you say that before the show or during it

481
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,719
Speaker 1: was before we started? Gruden said it, yeah, okay, but

482
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: that Greg. They have to go through this whole charade

483
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 1: of interviewing coaches and he's not the guy. Meanwhile, John

484
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 1: Gruden is going to be announcing a game this weekend,

485
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: including his old buddy Andy Reid, who's gonna likely be

486
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 1: coaching against next year in the a f C West.

487
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: Greg is very concerned about Greg is very concerned about

488
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: Gruden announcing this game. On the weekend. I don't think

489
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: it's a big deal, but I mean, he's still yeah,

490
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: and if he hasn't flipped jobs yet, it strange that

491
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 1: they're that everyone's gonna pretend that this all hasn't already happened.

492
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: Has It's like, just pay the rune a real fine,

493
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,479
Speaker 1: that's an option you don't have to go through this

494
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: whole Yeah. I feel like it's really, though, incredible because

495
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: every year John Gruden rumors fly and this is finally

496
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: one that's actually real. Although ian Ian Rappaport noted that

497
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: there was a moment last year where John Gruden, Peyton

498
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 1: Manning and Jim Ursay were on a plane and they

499
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: thought when that plane landed, there was gonna be an

500
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 1: agreement where Peyton Manning was the general manager of the

501
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: Colts and John Gruden was the coach, and he backed

502
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: out of that agreement. So you never know. May you

503
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: never know if he could just change his mind, if

504
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: ESPN offered him thirteen million dollars a year or whatever

505
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: the hell. I mean, who knows. Well, we just talked

506
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: about areas, the lifestyle change of going from preparing each

507
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: week to announce one game to suddenly becoming a head coach.

508
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: Years after you were head coach, the game has changed

509
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: a lot. Do you want it that bad? Why have

510
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: you not wanted to coach in the time in between?

511
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: Remember back to Hard Knocks when he was wasn't Hard

512
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: Knocks this year when he was in there talking to

513
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: all the guys and like you could how bad he wanted.

514
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: It's been on the wall and both from Hard Knocks

515
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: all through the season on ESPN where he had one

516
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: foot out of the studio, you knew this was coming.

517
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: Not to mention he loves Derek Carr. There's a clip

518
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: of him doing the Derek Carr Q. He's like, I'll

519
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: go get you ever I picked you. It was like

520
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: him talking about any point to eight players that he

521
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: loves them. I love this guy. I just if you're

522
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: if you're that obsessed with coaching, think about one thing

523
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: in your life you're that obsessed about, Why does nearly

524
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: a decade pass before you take that off? Because now

525
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: you're getting the best offered to coach the team that

526
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: you had your greatest success or you really rose with,

527
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: and you're getting an ownership steak potentially, which is like that.

528
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: But other coaches just keep riding. The youngest kid graduates

529
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: high school this year. It's not a one size fits

530
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: all situation. He climbed the mountain from his tent a

531
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: little bit. You're right. He won a super Bowl and

532
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: then he decided to step away, made millions calling games

533
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: on Monday night, and now he's got itch again. For

534
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: what it's worth. I don't see that as like a negative,

535
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: do you? Absolutely no. I mean I think they find

536
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: six years in Tampa were a negative where they didn't

537
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: have an above average passing game at any party. People

538
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: forget now he has a quarterback. The one the one

539
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: thing that everyone assumed though, was that the Raiders only

540
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: would make this move if it was agreed to, and

541
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: from the reporting that Steve Wish and others have done,

542
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 1: Jack del Rio was getting fired. Anyways, that was a

543
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: ship going downhill, and he said in that locker room,

544
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: not a lot of tears were shed when Jack del

545
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: Rio was let go. No, there was almost no reaction

546
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: in the locker room. He's doing some chuckling. Um ship

547
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: going downhill like that ship going underwater. I mean, that's

548
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: not what you want, is a ship going downhill. You're right,

549
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: definitely know want that moving By the way, hey, Emma,

550
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: lifestyle change. We're just talking about your fiance coming out west.

551
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: Do you think he'll be able to confern all of

552
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: his jackets? Do you think he'll be intimidated by this?

553
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: I start and you being the breadwinner and all that,

554
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: I don't think so. And they werena maga work. I

555
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: think it'd be great to have to marry into money

556
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: as he is. Apparently she's making it worked for Gonzo

557
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: for a while. I've never saw Gonzo in a calm state.

558
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: Well that's just joy Gonzo's arrestlings. I don't know. I

559
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: wonder why Gonzo is always so calm and relaxed. It

560
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: is weird. Huh, yeah, I don't know. Jim Jim say

561
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: Um is the owner of the Cults, and uh he

562
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: fired his head coach, Chuck Pagana, so they are in

563
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: the hunt for a coach. But you know, everything around

564
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: the Cults right now is about what's going on with

565
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck. Is he gonna be ready? Is he gonna

566
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: still be Andrew Luck? If he does come back after

567
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: missing an entire season with a shoulder injury that just

568
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: did not heal the way anyone had hoped. Ursa Um

569
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: spoke on Monday, and this is what he had to

570
00:29:55,000 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: say about luck. He's very optimistic. I no doubt in

571
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: my mind that Andrew is gonna come back. And when

572
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: I talk about what the look in his eye, when

573
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: I talk about the temperature of a hundred and seven

574
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: of a fierceness, I am telling you that that kid

575
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: is a special kid. Special He was born to do

576
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: great things in the National Football League, and he will

577
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: do great things in the National Football League. That one

578
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: seven was a reference to something he said earlier where

579
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: he says, you don't know the fire that's burning in

580
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: number twelve eyes. You don't know what type of fever

581
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: he has for success right now, it's a hundred and

582
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: seven degree fevers just an f y I you would

583
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: be essentially fireballs out of his eye. That was called

584
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: hyper perrexia, a fever that is equal to or above

585
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: one oh six point seven. This temperature is too high.

586
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: It constitutes a medical emergency for the patient. So let's

587
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: read between the lines here and what is he really saying.

588
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: And I hope andrews okay, She's in mortal danger. Forget

589
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: about the shoulder. His blood's boiling within him. Who Yeah,

590
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: let's move on anybody. Yeah, that's just interesting. No, the

591
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: only thing I was going to say is a lot

592
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: of people are saying that this is like maybe the

593
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: most attractive opening one of them, but I'm not sure

594
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: I really buy that, just based on the division at

595
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: this point now, and you look at DeShawn Watson coming

596
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: back with the Texans and the way that the Jags are. Right,

597
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: if you get a healthy you need to pay the

598
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: playoffs right away. H One man who's a button no

599
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: longer on fire because he hopped off the seat and

600
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: onto the unemployment line. Jim Caldwell. The team announced early

601
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: Monday morning, the team being the Detroit Lions, that general

602
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: manager Bob Quinn informed called Well that he will not

603
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: be returning his head coach. In addition to Caldwell, Quinn

604
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: told Ron Prince, the offensive line coach, he won't be

605
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: coming back. Sorry, Prince, and uh, that's it. Quinn had

606
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: this to say, we didn't beat the real good teams.

607
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: Our record was above average, where nine and seven the

608
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: last two years, but our record against the better teams

609
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: in the league has not been that good. H it's

610
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: interesting quote thoughts Well, it's crazy. They were seventeen and three.

611
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: I think against teams under five and something like one

612
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: in it's close to that against teams over five, so

613
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: clearly says that we have the talent to be beating

614
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: those teams, we just don't have the I think it's

615
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: fair to say that Calldwell got a raw deal. He

616
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: did a good job overall their second highest winning percentage

617
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: in team history, and that it totally makes sense to

618
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: change coaches when you have a GM that's not aligned

619
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: with his philosophy. I think the GM that's under pressure

620
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: to fix some longstanding issues with Detroit's roster. I mean,

621
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: how about find a running game for the first time

622
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: in our adult lives. They're looking would be too much.

623
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: They're looking at defensive coaches, though. The the idea, it seems,

624
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: is hire a coach that wants to keep Jim Bob

625
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: Cooder in in Detroit, which makes sense. You got a

626
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: top ten quarterback. Nothing else on the team is really

627
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: very special. They're interviewing Matt Patricia, Steve Wilkes from Carolina,

628
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: Mike Rabel, who I think is the guy to watch

629
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: for that job. In all defensive coordinator colts want unless

630
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,479
Speaker 1: unless you're one of those upper echelon type coaches they

631
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: bill Parcel's type. It's hard to get a third job.

632
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: But when you go back to back nine and seven

633
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: then get fired, it's not like you're a John Fox scenario.

634
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: Uh do you think Caldwell could get another head coach

635
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: job down the line. I think it's possible because, well,

636
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: here's what i'd say. What Pat Shermer suddenly is another

637
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: candidate who I thought never would get another number two. Okay,

638
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: but but I'm just saying that cald Well did not

639
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: totally fail here. That's that's fair if you were here

640
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: to work for the coordinated a really top offense here.

641
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan made the point, and I thought it was

642
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: it was a stute that you don't get a third

643
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: job usually if you don't like win a Super Bowl

644
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: or do something special, and after your second job, it's

645
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: very hard to get Turner did yeah, and Phil did

646
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: it called well, there's no drama. Rex Ryan doesn't, cause

647
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot that comes with the Rex Ryan. Jim

648
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: Caldle does not bring any of that drama. But he's

649
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: almost on the other album is But I don't on

650
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: either side, like it's not gonna be next year it's

651
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: just it Is it possible? Yes, it is. John Fox

652
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 1: also out as expected the b sixteen straight years for

653
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: three different teams, John Johnny Fox, yep Fox. The Bears

654
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 1: announced that they have fired the head coach. Fox's firing

655
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:33,760
Speaker 1: was first reported by rap sheet Nice job Ian Ian

656
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,959
Speaker 1: an excellent work by him. Interesting name, working round the clock,

657
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: Interesting names, Yeah, just like Ian. The Bears announced later

658
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: Monday that GM Ryan Paces contract has been extended through

659
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: There was a tweet um sent out by the Bears, um,

660
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 1: we can maybe show it on our video show, which

661
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 1: is on UH tonight at nine pm Eastern, six pm Pacific.

662
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: Thank you John Fox, which if you click into that

663
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: see what Bears think about that. Thank you for what?

664
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 1: But I get it. Listen, he was the face of

665
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 1: the franchise in some way and it didn't work out.

666
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: Foxes out of work. But the surprise, I think a

667
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: little bit, Connie, is that Ryan Pace is um extension

668
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: after this and some people would say maybe Pace should

669
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: have been going to Yeah, I mean, I guess they're

670
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: obviously happy with Mitchell Trabinsky. It seems like that was

671
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: sort of a thing that the entire team, the coaching

672
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: staff seems surprised about it, like it just didn't. It

673
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: came out of nowhere when all of that went down

674
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: at the draft. So I wouldn't be surprised if they

675
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: brought in and they have to bring in an offensive

676
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: coach that is going to help develop Trabinsky. And I

677
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: mean maybe what we've heard Pat Shermer a lot as

678
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: you just mentioned Josh McDaniels, John d Filippo, So you're

679
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 1: actually right exactly. They could also I wonder what d

680
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: Filippo I wrote an article like trying to put together

681
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: like the ideal matches. What if they bring in a

682
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: defensive coach they're also interviewing, uh, Steve Will and Vic

683
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: Vando as his head coach, and you get the Filippo

684
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: to come as the offensive coordinator. Now, maybe he does

685
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: get a head coaching job, but he is out of

686
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: his contract in Philadelphia. The Eagles did him dirty last

687
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: year by not letting him an interview for coordinator coordinator jobs.

688
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:16,720
Speaker 1: I think he kind of, you know, behind the scenes,

689
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: maybe he wasn't thrilled with that. So he's going to

690
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 1: be a hot coordinator candidate if he doesn't get a

691
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: head coaching which I mean we talked that Johnny Morton

692
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: could be um not Johnny Morten, Charlie Morton, John John Morton, Yeah,

693
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 1: John Johnny Mooreton was the old Chiefs wide received John Yeah. Anyway,

694
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,879
Speaker 1: the Jets offensive coordinator who could be moving to join

695
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,800
Speaker 1: Gruden in Oakland. The Jets to be interested in the Filippo,

696
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: who they were interested in last year, but the people

697
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: said no, so we could have some musical chairs used

698
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,720
Speaker 1: to work for the Jets and play there. Uh and

699
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: other news won't miss John Fox? Sorry, I mean, what

700
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: a boring co Well, like he said, he's had three

701
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: one game where he was like super animated nevery this

702
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: year and everybody was like, whoa, John Fox, look at

703
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: you having a person nality and then that all went

704
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: away again. Nice guy? And why god Fox get a

705
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 1: third job because he went to the Super Bowl with

706
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: his first two teams. Maybe Peyton Manning really took the

707
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: Broncos of the Super Bowl, but usually there you have

708
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: to have some level of success in those Super Bowl too. Yeah.

709
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: Moving on, Dean ps the defensive coordinator of the Ravens,

710
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 1: who's saw his defense, let's face it, collapse on their

711
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: last play of the season when Eddie Dalton knocked the

712
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 1: Ravens out of the postseason, angering many including Chris Wesley

713
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 1: and also perhaps Colleen Wolf because Colleen, I don't know

714
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: if you're aware that we had stuck a fork in

715
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: the Bills, who, of course and UH advanced to the

716
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: playoffs when the Ravens blew that game. And as we

717
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: had all agreed upon, if we forked a team that

718
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: made the playoffs, we would make a charity donation. And furthermore,

719
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: and this calls back to Mark's ref earlier that you

720
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: were doing very well financially, very well, you would be

721
00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: handling uh the charitable donation to the western New York areas.

722
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: Just something to think about. That's great, Okay, I'm sure

723
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: you're your your family lineage. Just send you birthday checks

724
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: in excess of that's all. I mean. I've just yeah,

725
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,439
Speaker 1: I'm growing money on trees basically right now. It's great.

726
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 1: Better be a big gift. Well, maybe you could join

727
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: the Bills fans that have donated over a hundred thousand

728
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: dollars to the Andy Dalton Foundation. So it's not like

729
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: it's not the Buffalo area, but this is what the

730
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: Bills fans have gotten behind, and we've got you know,

731
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,240
Speaker 1: we've loved that. We've made fun of the Bills fans

732
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: over the years. Sometimes they had some fun with them

733
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 1: for their pregame activities. But what a great job by

734
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 1: the Bills fans helping out this charity which helps I

735
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: think under served kids. That's a good one. Bills fans

736
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 1: at me with some some charities. What's the charity everyone,

737
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's not clear who they're helping, according

738
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 1: to Greg, but it's totally clear. I just wanted to

739
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: make sure. I think it's disadvantaged kids would se serious illness. Well,

740
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 1: that's good to help them, that's nice. Um, I know

741
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,359
Speaker 1: everyone's all fired up. Oh no, we have to watch

742
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: the Bills in the playoffs. But everything else about this

743
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: story has been great. Right to this charity cause now, well,

744
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 1: a lot of Bills fans, just for the record, are

745
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: donating seventeen dollars to the Dalton Foundation to match the

746
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,879
Speaker 1: seventeen year playoff drought that they had. So great, Yeah,

747
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 1: you could do. Yeah, we should definitely a multiple of seventeen.

748
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: Let's check out the opening and the video show. You

749
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,919
Speaker 1: can check it out. So the openings as of right now,

750
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: as we spin forward um in the six job openings,

751
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,280
Speaker 1: the Giants, the Bears, the Lions, the Colts, the Raiders,

752
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: and the Cardinals all looking for head coaches, and that

753
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: could that could get beef here on that list. We'll

754
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:49,879
Speaker 1: see if you're watching on the video show. I really

755
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: like how they put five and one column and then

756
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 1: a second column with just one the car very pleasing

757
00:39:56,120 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: and symmetric the graphics. That's I said. It was very

758
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: pleased to go after the behind the scenes very much.

759
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: That's how you make them very pleasing to Christian your

760
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: takeaway on that there are a couple of teams hanging

761
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: out there. The Bengals. We still don't know about Tennessee situation.

762
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: I think that Mike Malarkey could still get fired even

763
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: if they lose this weekend. And now maybe you throw

764
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,399
Speaker 1: the Packers into that mix. That would be the number

765
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: one job. There's all these columns like what's the best job.

766
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: I would say the Giants, but how about the Packers?

767
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 1: If you get the coach, Greg could not be more

768
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: exciting concept of inside overrated, the most talented quarterback of

769
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 1: all time with a more inventive head coach. Greg's gunning

770
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: for that job. Actually and vance Joseph. This is a

771
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 1: bit of a surprise that he is staying in Denver Um.

772
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,479
Speaker 1: You know, he never chased bad money, but I guess

773
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: I'm glad he's John Elways says, I'm gonna stick with

774
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: my boy. I trusted him, I hired him, he's my guy.

775
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him another year and hopefully get him

776
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: a quarterback. Well that's the hard part, John, because uh,

777
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning ain't hitting free agency, so go find somebody. Well,

778
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna be the one of these teams that get

779
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 1: stuck trying to find a quarterback in the first round

780
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: of the draft, just like the Patriots in a couple

781
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: of years. The number that they have the number five pick.

782
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: But there are some free agents possibly available, especially k Cousins,

783
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: and I would think the Broncos will be high on

784
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,879
Speaker 1: that list of teams going after him. And it's good

785
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: they didn't fire him because it's all always fault. He's

786
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: the one that hired Joseph. You give him one year.

787
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: He's the one that wanted Mike McCoy, who he then

788
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 1: fired midway through the season. Well, look, he's the one

789
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:51,240
Speaker 1: who gave him. Paxton Lynch Elway. Elway recruited Peyton Manning

790
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 1: and no one else could have done that the way

791
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,320
Speaker 1: he did. So he will never be looked on negatively

792
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: because of that and what happened after. But his drafts,

793
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,080
Speaker 1: if you look at them from one to this and

794
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: have been really suspect, I would have looked at him

795
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 1: really much more negatively than I do now if he

796
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: got rid of Vance Joseph. I just think it would

797
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 1: be completely unfair to give him only one year. With

798
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 1: the situation he was dealt, that's fair there. It seemed

799
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 1: like he was a Gonner though. Yeah, and so it

800
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:19,760
Speaker 1: was a surprise ultimately, so Joseph gets another shot. Um

801
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: but really, by the way, it's not. But here's the

802
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: other take. Yeah, they showed the little video Vance Joseph.

803
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: He was in a little workout shirt there. He's got

804
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: some prominent a little workout the other and I get

805
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: everybody's letting him off the hook because Brock Osweiler and

806
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,879
Speaker 1: Paxton Lynch and your boy Trevor Simeon, who I guess

807
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: now is terrible. But um so, but what if they

808
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: don't get a quarterback next year? Do you have to

809
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 1: keep Vance Joseph again? Because it would be the same reason.

810
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: I think it has to be a special circumstance to

811
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: fire a guy after one year, and I don't know

812
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: if I don't see that special circumstances. I mean, Todd

813
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 1: Bowles has had a terrible year as a head coach.

814
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,879
Speaker 1: A lot of head coach has had one terrible year,

815
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: so they just take a look at the rosters. I mean,

816
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 1: I don't think Toddles had a terrible year. They I

817
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 1: just mean his second year. I'm saying, like, you can

818
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: live with one guy that was that was a little

819
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:17,800
Speaker 1: defensive there. Yeah, okay, all right, we're good. Finally Hard Knocks,

820
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, are knocks. Everyone else is excited about the playoffs.

821
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 1: All I can think about is premium cable in eight months.

822
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,240
Speaker 1: This is your playoffs. This is this is my beat,

823
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: this is my corner. So the way it works is

824
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:34,439
Speaker 1: everyone should know by now that they decide. In two

825
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: thousand thirteen, the NFL passed the provision that made appearing

826
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: on Hard Knocks mandatory for a team. If they did

827
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: not fulfill one of the three provisions they have a

828
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: first year head coach in place, then you could be excused.

829
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: They have a playoff birth in the last two seasons,

830
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: you could be excused. They have appeared on Hard Knocks

831
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 1: in the past decade, you could be excused. So if

832
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: you put those three, load those in with all thirty

833
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 1: two teams, Uh, it'lllimitate eights of thirty two teams. Uh.

834
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: And what you're left with, people, here are the six

835
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: teams that could appear on Hard Knocks. Uh. And if

836
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: if we go by last year, at least, um, the

837
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 1: Bucks were on this short list and they got picked.

838
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: We'll see if it happens. And again the forty Niners,

839
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:24,760
Speaker 1: the Broncos, the Browns, the Chargers, the Ravens, and the Redskins,

840
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 1: all um can be compelled forcefully to appear on Hard Knocks. UM.

841
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 1: And I wrote in a piece I wrote on the

842
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: end around, UM, I feel like, just like last year,

843
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 1: there could be a temptation to go with the Browns

844
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: with the added juice this year that they're coming off

845
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: the O n sixteen tragedy and drafting and quarterback first overall,

846
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: and you know Hugh wants those cameras in the building.

847
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: But I think they are the juicy pick because of

848
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,760
Speaker 1: their history. Uh, They've never been on the show. Jimmy

849
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 1: Garoppolo the five game winning streaked end last season. John

850
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 1: Lynch is probably gonna spend some money and bring in

851
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: some more named brand talent. That seems like a really

852
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 1: good choice. I love that one. I would absolutely be

853
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: excited to watch that, especially with Jimmy g and Kyle Shanahan.

854
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 1: That would be amazing. I think that'd be a great season.

855
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: I wonder if Kyle Shanahan would want it. Typically these

856
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: coaches don't want this at all, but the ownership maybe

857
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 1: they seem kind of like they could use a little

858
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 1: uh brand build a better word. They haven't. I know

859
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 1: Jimmy g Q is definitely helping in that area, but

860
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,359
Speaker 1: it's not a They've struggled to get people to drive

861
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:34,479
Speaker 1: to that stadium, which is nowhere close to San Francisco. Yeah,

862
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: and I know the Bucks had a bad season, but

863
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: that gave him a huge pop in terms of like

864
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:43,720
Speaker 1: the football uh COGNESCENTI everybody was interested in the Bucks

865
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:47,320
Speaker 1: during the show's run because of all the social media

866
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: bites that came out and if you actually watched the show.

867
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if people watch television anymore, but the

868
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 1: Bucks really came off well last season. I think it's

869
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: a good pr for your team, and it's fun. And

870
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:58,439
Speaker 1: if you're a fan of the Jets didn't do those,

871
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun. I mean, I had no

872
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: idea that Gerald McCoy was so hilarious until Hard knocks

873
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: him and Chris Baker. I do wonder if by August,

874
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,800
Speaker 1: after we go through the process of, you know, breaking

875
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:14,240
Speaker 1: down the off season seven thousand times over, that the

876
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo and the hype around the Niners is going

877
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 1: to be at a fever pitch. They closed the season

878
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: NonStop wins. I'm just wondering. I don't I think I

879
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,479
Speaker 1: don't want the Ravens the Browns. I don't want either,

880
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:30,360
Speaker 1: to be honest, But I think the Browns are compelling

881
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 1: if you're into watching like the most Netherworld team on

882
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: the farthest reaches of space be examined over the course

883
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,839
Speaker 1: of five weeks, you know, the Niners are nice story too.

884
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: HBO could go off the board too if if another

885
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 1: team volunteers and really wants to be on the show,

886
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: like the Jaguars have reportedly raised their hand over the years,

887
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 1: they can do it unteered, right. That's the thing is,

888
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 1: if it's it's only they only have to make one

889
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:58,359
Speaker 1: of these teams do it if a team doesn't kind

890
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 1: of want to do it, that HBO agrees that that's

891
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:03,399
Speaker 1: a good choice. I mean, it's got we got down

892
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 1: to just six teams that they can force to do

893
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: it this year. What if it ever happened where there

894
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: were no teams? Is that mathematically possible? I guess. I mean, well,

895
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 1: let's say every one of these teams had fired their

896
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 1: coach now, then yes, But then once we get out

897
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: of the last decade situation, like the first collapses into itself.

898
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 1: This isn't also law like some teams. Scott mcgluey and

899
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 1: the old Redskins general manager said, it doesn't matter if

900
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: the Redskins are on that list. Dan Snyder, as long

901
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 1: as he owns a team in Bruce Allen's there, they're

902
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 1: never going to be on hard knocks. They would just

903
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 1: refuse to like, I don't know what that but see,

904
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 1: but I don't. We don't know that because it's an

905
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:42,919
Speaker 1: NFL rule that they put in. So that would mean

906
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 1: that what are they gonna do? Take him to the the

907
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 1: kangaroo court? All right, that's what's happening in karoo court.

908
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:53,799
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, if you want to make us think

909
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 1: about it, and they could just be like, no, we're

910
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 1: not doing that. Um, that would that would be called anarchy. Though,

911
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,920
Speaker 1: why in any rules if that's something that could happen?

912
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 1: Philosophical question? Because they all agreed to it, including the Redskins. Yeah,

913
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 1: they also you know, they agree on a lot of

914
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:15,839
Speaker 1: things that they are gonna make. No I was going

915
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,800
Speaker 1: to talk about they also all agreed to get Roger

916
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:23,760
Speaker 1: Goodell a big contract extension and raising things. Things happened

917
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 1: after that. That life happens. But then he got he

918
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 1: eventually did get it. He got it, So a way

919
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 1: to go, boss. So are you saying that the Redskins

920
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,399
Speaker 1: could be on hard knocks? Your point has come full

921
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 1: circle and I'm utterly confused at this point. All right,

922
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: here we go. It is time. Now, go get my lunch.

923
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 1: You're tired. Every year, every year, every single year, we

924
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: do this, but this year it's special. First of all,

925
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 1: you know what's special, because go get my lunch. Season

926
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: recap is presented by headed head and shoulders, Oh my god,

927
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: shoulders greatness. And you know who has the shoulders of greatness?

928
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 1: In I teased it earlier, and here it comes the

929
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: winner in terms of winning percentage. It's not other than

930
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 1: Connie Fox, who's good at this girl who doesn't understand

931
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 1: games on the show and can't follow the rules. Look

932
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: who's winning now? Happy birth comes out? Oh I liked it.

933
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 1: It is true though, I forgot that you most of

934
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: the time, with most of your wagers, have no idea

935
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 1: where you're coming down on Like I don't understand, Like

936
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,320
Speaker 1: obviously you know the NFL, you're not allowed to gamble,

937
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,799
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to talk about it. I don't even understand.

938
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 1: I don't understand the lines. I wouldn't even be able

939
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: to do it if I could. But I'm leading in

940
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 1: game picks right now, So I'm just saying, look at you,

941
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:54,320
Speaker 1: the future is female. Here is Here are the standings

942
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 1: for this season, and uh, let's seba in first. The

943
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,439
Speaker 1: old Zeuser had a tough season. And we'll go through

944
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 1: all these picks um in a second. Let's go through

945
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 1: them in fact. And by the way, this is all

946
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:10,360
Speaker 1: possible because of the great work of Nick Fortier. Or

947
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 1: Fortier who is on Twitter at go get my lunch?

948
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: Uh what is his actual Twitter? Hynd? I'm sorry it's Mark,

949
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:22,399
Speaker 1: can you can you get on that? I will work

950
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 1: on that, Okay. I want to make sure people know

951
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 1: where to go. Well, Mark seems to be doing anything.

952
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: I thought again and also didn't mention that I'm sitting

953
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 1: in third place. I'm surprised for you've been doing this

954
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 1: segment with Dan sitting in the last place. Let's start

955
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 1: the overall. I am not, but it was a tough

956
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 1: regular season. There there could be a you know, a

957
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 1: a complaint filed, uh, doubting Colleen's victory by the rest,

958
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:50,799
Speaker 1: let's go. I'm just saying winning percentage. He's in the mix. Oh,

959
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 1: he doesn't qualify. It's like in Bad One. He made

960
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 1: one sandwich prop and he nailed it. With the batting title.

961
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 1: You have to have at least like a third make

962
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 1: sense at bats something. By the way, Nick forty or forty,

963
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 1: go get my lunch. That's the twitter excellent because like

964
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 1: he also has just been engaged or married himself or

965
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 1: has a significant other very company. He certainly appears to

966
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 1: be in love. Yes he does. Just like him. We're

967
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 1: going into place now, what a great time and Christian

968
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:27,800
Speaker 1: and Christian Christians in love? Well, I can't tell maybe

969
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 1: he's in love with the film show that. As we

970
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:41,800
Speaker 1: learned from UM. All right, here we go. We'll start

971
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: with Connie Fox and she is the big victor in

972
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 1: the regular season. Uh, and the first one. And she

973
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,319
Speaker 1: hit a hit a home run here. And Andrew Luck

974
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 1: starts fewer games than Mike Lennon. Mike Glennon started two

975
00:51:55,040 --> 00:52:00,040
Speaker 1: or three games about that three or four. Last it

976
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:03,280
Speaker 1: was the Thursday night game against the Packers. It seems

977
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:06,400
Speaker 1: like it seems like he started one. And um, apologies

978
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 1: for the mixed metaphor. But when you go across the

979
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 1: board and get a wager from everyone we called the

980
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: Grand Slam, whynot? And you got four sandwiches off that

981
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:18,400
Speaker 1: one pick. And the theory was, and everyone obviously was

982
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 1: working into the theory of what the owner, who was

983
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 1: not being quite honest with us, was that, oh, he'll

984
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 1: be back soon, he'll be back early. And Andrew Luck,

985
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback, never came back at Also, it ended up

986
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:31,359
Speaker 1: being all Glennon had to do is start a game,

987
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 1: and that's what he did. That was my reasoning. That

988
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 1: was well played. Now this one, Uh, you got one

989
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 1: Sangwige off the old Zeusser by predicting that the Titans

990
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:47,359
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. Took you up to the last week.

991
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 1: Wasn't pretty, but you got it. Well. You guys like

992
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: the Titans. I don't like the Titans. That's why I was.

993
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 1: But usually you go at the field in that sort

994
00:52:56,480 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 1: of scenario where this Dan never on that on that trail,

995
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 1: but they still didn't make the playoffs. So there you go.

996
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 1: And then here's a good one if he just would

997
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,040
Speaker 1: have put it together for a full season, because he

998
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 1: was insanely productive in the back half of the season.

999
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen leads the league in receptions. Greg would you

1000
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 1: mind pulling up where we ended up in the receptions race?

1001
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:23,479
Speaker 1: I think he got He was in the top five

1002
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 1: by the end. He had a hundred and two catches

1003
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 1: for hundred and ninety three yards. He finished fourth in receptions,

1004
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:33,879
Speaker 1: in third in receiving yards, so he certainly was up there.

1005
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 1: He just got started a little late. And that one

1006
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 1: actually wiped out your luck prediction because we all took

1007
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:43,799
Speaker 1: you up on the imagine I Landry Jarvis Landry with

1008
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 1: all those seven yard catches ended up being first, Larry

1009
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 1: Fits at his age second, and Michael Thomas with a

1010
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 1: quietly great year for the Saints. Did Landry get a

1011
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 1: thousand yards? I don't think he did. Now who was

1012
00:53:55,040 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 1: eighteen and receiving Greg came up? I could look it up.

1013
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 1: I don't, please do? I would like I'm going to

1014
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 1: hand out assignments to please get on that immediately and

1015
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 1: receiving Greg please? Now, So there you go, Colleen Wolf

1016
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 1: and there is one hanging out there, one pick hanging

1017
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 1: out there. It won't be decided until the um night

1018
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 1: before the Super Bowl a few thousands seventeen m v P.

1019
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:20,399
Speaker 1: You got Tom Brady so you could end up nine

1020
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 1: and five here, that's great. I don't know how that works.

1021
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: You got sandwiches from all of us for that? Because

1022
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:28,439
Speaker 1: that is looking I would say likely right well, Chris

1023
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:32,880
Speaker 1: alone West also has Tom Brady. Greg a little trauma here,

1024
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 1: we're going through one of your time. Come on receiving

1025
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:41,319
Speaker 1: stuck Greg? Now in the league, speaking of West, here

1026
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:45,839
Speaker 1: we go. You know, v pickuse Tom Brady his spoiled though?

1027
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 1: All right? There? What Dan attempting to get through this segment?

1028
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 1: The Rams West finished eight and eight. The Rams finished

1029
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 1: the two thousand seventeen season with a winning record, and

1030
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 1: talk about a prize. He got a grand slam out

1031
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 1: of that, a salami picks. All four of us said,

1032
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 1: I thought they were gonna sniff around five hundred, and

1033
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 1: they did a lot better than that. When they do

1034
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:13,400
Speaker 1: thirteen and three, twelve and four man West. West has

1035
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 1: been singing their praises, I mean since early, early in

1036
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 1: the off season. And he was ahead of tea. Well

1037
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:26,319
Speaker 1: this is the before we named them the team of

1038
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 1: a just yeah, I know, but he was. He was

1039
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:30,719
Speaker 1: ahead of the game. He did win eleven games after

1040
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,880
Speaker 1: tanking that that last one, so eleven and five. Um,

1041
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 1: he had the Buccaneers allowed less yardage than the Broncos.

1042
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 1: He lost that one, big time lost. That was an

1043
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 1: odd one night and daring on this. This is one

1044
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 1: of those ones that probably confused Colleen because the three

1045
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:50,799
Speaker 1: of us took it and Colleen sat it out. It's like,

1046
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:52,839
Speaker 1: I don't know everybody else is doing it. I'm not

1047
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 1: going I mean, he was kind of right that the

1048
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 1: Broncos defense would not be as good, but unfortunately he

1049
00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 1: picked one of the worst defenses in But I'm like

1050
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 1: West must something and let's know something, and speaking West,

1051
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 1: and I really do wish West this year right now,

1052
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: very well. During Sunday show, I was trying to figure

1053
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 1: out why West was so angry about that. The Bengals

1054
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 1: come back win Wes is third wager, the Ns will

1055
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 1: make playoffs. That changed, That changed the standings. If that

1056
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 1: play by Andy Dalton doesn't happen, West ends up eleven

1057
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 1: and five, which might be the best record anyone's ever

1058
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:30,520
Speaker 1: had to go get my lunch. So once again, Andy Dalton,

1059
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:34,839
Speaker 1: I was going to show and I'm like, why does

1060
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:37,680
Speaker 1: he look so mad? He's so angry? Well, it cost

1061
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:41,359
Speaker 1: him three sandwiches once he and Colin confused. Saturday, Dan

1062
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 1: Gregg and Mark all took West up on that. Now

1063
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:48,759
Speaker 1: we move on to the sizzler um, Mark, you went

1064
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 1: nine and nine old, even Stephen not based on off.

1065
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 1: You've got six sitting out there that you're gonna lose,

1066
00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 1: So enjoy this. You don't know that about Big Ben,

1067
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:02,360
Speaker 1: Pat mc be we'll be back in the NFL by Halloween.

1068
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 1: You how did you not take up Mark on that guy?

1069
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what are your questioning was? We did

1070
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 1: West via satellite. I think I talked you into why

1071
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:17,760
Speaker 1: it was logical. Probably you have Tom Brady won't start

1072
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 1: more than fourteen games. He started all sixteen and that

1073
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 1: was that cost you four sandwiches. So right off the

1074
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 1: bat your own six. But then then, oh wait, the

1075
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 1: other ones are hanging out there. Big Ben retires after

1076
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 1: the season through. Colleen did not take you up on that,

1077
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 1: and Greg and westall did. Um, you have Philip Rivers

1078
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:39,240
Speaker 1: the m v P. That's not gonna happen, and the

1079
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 1: NFL will be forced to reschedule a entire week of

1080
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 1: games almost impossibly. Colleen also passed on that. And I

1081
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 1: will say, if there had been any year where it

1082
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 1: felt like something weird could happen, it was this. I

1083
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 1: guess we're giving you through the playoffs for that out

1084
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:57,040
Speaker 1: of yeahsity because he's leaving that out there, But otherwise

1085
00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 1: you're in trouble. Well. I like how West goes eight

1086
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 1: and eight, and Greg says West did a great job.

1087
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:06,280
Speaker 1: Mark goes nine and you're going nine. You're going we'll

1088
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 1: see you go with Rivers as well. We'll see it's true,

1089
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 1: all right, Greg, ten and nine, congratulations over doesn't I

1090
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 1: don't think I got anything right. Dalvin Cook leads all

1091
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 1: rookie rookie running backs in yards. Please stop spoiling things

1092
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 1: your inner monolague. Dalvin Cook leads all rookie running backs

1093
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 1: in yards from scrimmage. This is a good one, Greg,

1094
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 1: but leading. He was leading the league when he got hurt.

1095
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 1: And Dan, Mark and West took you up. Colleen said,

1096
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,919
Speaker 1: I'll sit this one out. The Patriots will finish worse

1097
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,760
Speaker 1: than fourteen and two. That's a good one, because they

1098
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:44,760
Speaker 1: finished worse than fourteen to a a miserable thirteen and

1099
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:48,440
Speaker 1: three for the past. You know that guy got it

1100
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 1: done for me. Dan and West both lost sanguiches there.

1101
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 1: The Bungles will play during wild Card weekend did not

1102
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 1: work out. They went seven and nine. I thought that

1103
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 1: was what happened to his I didn't take you on that.

1104
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 1: Colleen and Mark made sandwiches and the m v P

1105
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 1: pick Aaron Rodgers and you got banged by the injury

1106
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 1: bug there the old juicer. Finally, Uh, the Patriots will

1107
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 1: lead by double digit points midway through the first quarter

1108
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 1: of a game right before Halloween. I don't even know

1109
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:19,760
Speaker 1: what that was. But Mark, Mark and I had a

1110
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 1: sandwich bat and I lost that. I don't remember what

1111
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 1: the game was. Um Durrell Reeves plays in got that

1112
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 1: he signed and he's also ran Tighten. Yeah, that was

1113
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:33,360
Speaker 1: one of those side wagers that wasn't even in the

1114
00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 1: actual show. But yeah, I gave you a sandwich on that.

1115
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:38,280
Speaker 1: By the way, I was confident it was the Chargers game.

1116
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 1: I don't know where that came from here. It must

1117
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:42,440
Speaker 1: we must have been just talking on the show and

1118
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 1: I got fired up about something. Antonio Brown, this one,

1119
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 1: this one pissed me off. I'm gonna be honest. Antonio

1120
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 1: Brown and Martevis Bryant are the number one duo in

1121
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:53,480
Speaker 1: receiving yards in seventeen. I made the mistake and I

1122
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 1: lost Sam. Just the Colleen, greg and Mark of getting

1123
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 1: too specific. What I should have done, and I will

1124
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 1: make note of this next year. I should have said

1125
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown and the second leading receiver for the Steelers

1126
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 1: will be the number one duo. But I got two specific.

1127
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:09,040
Speaker 1: Martavis Bryant did not have a big role. I think

1128
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 1: he finished with about six hundred yards and Brown led

1129
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 1: the NFL and receiving. But if I would have had

1130
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:18,000
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown and Juju, I probably would have won. But

1131
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't call in happy. I don't think

1132
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 1: you would have picked j Smith backed up what I'm saying,

1133
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:26,160
Speaker 1: would have said the number two receivers right now. I

1134
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 1: think that's you've learned lessons learned a lesson this one.

1135
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 1: I got banged on. Jadeveon Clowney gets twelve plus sacks

1136
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: in seventeen. He was on pace and then he kind

1137
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 1: of fell off the table. Statistically, I think he was

1138
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 1: banged up. Um. I mean, he played all sixteen games,

1139
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 1: but he was well. No, he got a little unlucky.

1140
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:44,800
Speaker 1: I saw a sack at the end of the season.

1141
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:47,520
Speaker 1: I thought, of you, that was taken away by penalty.

1142
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 1: You know. I think I got unlucky that he had

1143
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 1: nine and a half with like four games to play

1144
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 1: nine and a half. So I was in I was

1145
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 1: in a good position there and it just didn't work out.

1146
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:57,520
Speaker 1: And this one, this one stinks. This is this one

1147
01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 1: gets to zero. Adrian Peterson and Marshall Lynch combined for

1148
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 1: less yardage than the seventeen rushing leader. Um. I nailed

1149
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:07,080
Speaker 1: this one. In a lot of ways. I didn't think

1150
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:09,400
Speaker 1: Peterson or Lynch would be big time players, even though

1151
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:10,960
Speaker 1: a lot of people were like saying, oh, these guys

1152
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 1: will be good. They both Peterson got traded after getting bench.

1153
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:17,400
Speaker 1: Lynch was hot and cold, didn't really have a big

1154
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 1: season however. However, this out of all years, was the

1155
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:26,080
Speaker 1: year where the leading rusher had the lowest total in

1156
01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:28,439
Speaker 1: a long time. And on top that, the top three

1157
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:32,800
Speaker 1: guys in the rushing race all sat out Week seventeen,

1158
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:36,880
Speaker 1: which allowed West to get me by thirteen yards. That's

1159
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 1: a tough loss beat. We all agreed with you on

1160
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:43,320
Speaker 1: that one. That's why West was the only one that

1161
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 1: that took it up. And I had Russell Wilson's MVP,

1162
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 1: which was looking pretty good until week fifteen and then

1163
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:51,880
Speaker 1: he went away, Uh, Darrell and just to do a

1164
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:54,880
Speaker 1: little more housekeeping before we say by Connie Connor or

1165
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:57,800
Speaker 1: had Revas signing a multi year contract. He snookered us

1166
01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 1: on that one because it was a food easy, multi

1167
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:03,919
Speaker 1: York deal. But it is and tampose as Julie three

1168
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 1: sandwiches on that did Julian Edelman will play in and

1169
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:11,920
Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen. Three sanwiches. It was impossible. He

1170
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 1: was literally on season ending injured reserve when she made

1171
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:17,440
Speaker 1: the pick and she was like, no, he'll play, like

1172
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 1: that's the league rule, all right, we're out of time

1173
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:24,760
Speaker 1: with Colleen. Sound sounded got it? I gotta go, guys,

1174
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 1: before you go, head set on, keep it on the

1175
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 1: hit me up. Emma, it is your birthday. Oh this

1176
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:36,680

1177
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:39,880

1178
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 1: so it's not a bottle. Everything that you've done for us,

1179
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 1: i'd close your eye. We we thought like, what is

1180
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:48,600
Speaker 1: worthy of the contributions that you paid through this year.

1181
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:52,920
Speaker 1: We had to think of something that you cant here.

1182
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 1: We are here, we are ready, close your eyes. All

Speaker 1: That's a seven eleven brial presented by Head and Shoulders.

1187
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 1: You're not easy to find gifts for, but I think

1188
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:16,920
Speaker 1: the show has found the perfect gift for you. Colleen.

1189
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 1: I'm glad that you guys saw this and thought of me. Well, yeah,

1190
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:22,640
Speaker 1: it is hard to come up. You know, seven elevens

1191
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 1: right across the street. Not a lot of options. You

1192
01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:28,040
Speaker 1: guys are so thoughtful. Thank you. A rich spread of

1193
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:30,280
Speaker 1: ingredients if you look on if you when you're during

1194
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:31,800
Speaker 1: your meeting, just see what it's involved in that is

1195
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 1: you actually should open it up and just start eating it.

1196
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:38,400
Speaker 1: I'm going to bring this to the meeting. Thanks. It

1197
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 1: is the size of your forearm, so it's gonna be

1198
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:46,080
Speaker 1: just it's longer than my forearm. Actually, all right, that's it.

1199
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 1: Coli Fox gotta go to some meeting, doesn't matter. Um,
