13
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,720

Speaker 1: it is going to be hotter than the hinge of Hell.

19
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: All right, that's what that's what I expect, right, That's

20
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: what I expected, right, I mean, do you have any

21
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: any any big plans, any golf, and it shows I

22
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: want to go to Top Golf. Top Golf is legit.

23
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: I've never been to Top Golf. I heard its fire.

24
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,559
Speaker 1: Top Golf is legit. I went for the first time

25
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: about a year ago. Um, it's fun, It's it's great.

26
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: It's a great way to spend the afternoon, hit some balls,

27
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: watching sports, you know, drink a few adult beverages. Absolutely

28
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: go check it out, all right. Um the Wax Museum,

29
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: I've not been to the Wax Museum. I think it

30
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: sounds kind of corny. I'm going with my wife. I

31
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: have been before. I always felt back in the day

32
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: when I was you know, when I was a single man,

33
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: when I when I chose a place to go on vacation,

34
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: I always wanted to go to Miami, right, all my buddies,

35
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: but let's go to Vegas. I'm like, I'd rather go

36
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: to Miami. So I was. I tried to depot the vacation.

37
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: We're going to Miami, that's where we're going. But you know,

38
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: it's just always it's always my wheelhouse to go down

39
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: there as opposed to go to Vegas. And once I

40
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: got married, I just didn't really feel they need to

41
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: go to Las Vegas. If I was gonna go, it

42
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: will be with my wife. And she went for work

43
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: one time and I was like, Okay, now you've gone.

44
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: It's fine. I don't even need to go. I was

45
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: just looking for a quick getaway. You know. It just

46
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: seemed it seemed like the perfect place to go. It is.

47
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: It's great, and there's a thing about Vegas. There really

48
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 1: is something for everybody. I mean there's even stuff with

49
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: the kids. You can give him a few bucks and

50
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: send him to the arcade and stuff like that. We

51
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: gave her a few bucks and sent her to Chicago

52
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: all summer, so she's with my parents, so even better.

53
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 1: Not no child. But you know what the theme song that,

54
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: that's the NFL h Q theme song from back in

55
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: the day. No, no, no, that is the NFL fan

56
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: It's always been the NFL Fantasy Lives, Wasn't It was

57
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: the NFL h Q theme song too, though, wasn't it.

58
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: I feel like, but I've always felt like that track

59
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: would be great with like t I and Rihanna. We

60
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: could do like, you know, a t I Rihanna parrying

61
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: over that truck. I think would be fantastic. I got

62
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: a full show for you though. Of course, Cole is here.

63
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: We will kind of recap some of our takeaways from

64
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: preseason week one, and I'm gonna make you play the

65
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: hot take takedown because you when you run Fantasy Live

66
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: last season, every week you would hit us with a

67
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: hot take takedown and you would you would make us

68
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: answer some questions. I'm gonna put you on the business

69
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: into that this week. Also, we'll talk with Mike Techlier

70
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: from Fantasy Pros. He's got his look at whom and

71
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: bust guys for some positions, so we will get his

72
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: opinions on some of those, and I kind of hope

73
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: you hopefully help you make some better at draft picks

74
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 1: when it comes around to it. But there's always let's

75
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: do some news. Let's do alright. First of I'm gonna

76
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: say I've been getting hit up on Twitter because this

77
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: that theme is kind of polarizing some people. People people love,

78
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: some people think it's hot. Some people are like, get

79
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: rid of it, it's terrible. So uh yeah, I don't

80
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it's polarizing, which sort of is

81
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: good for me because that means more people will listen,

82
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: either they hate it or they love it. Uh. Starting

83
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: off some bad news. Rookie running back Darius Guys for

84
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: the Redskins a torn a c L. He's gone for

85
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: the year. Uh, John grew or J Gruden. I don't

86
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: know why I wrote John, but J Gruden says the

87
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: team won't sign a free agent running back. I mean,

88
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: there's no way to say this is good news at all. Cold,

89
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: but now there's kind of a I don't know, it's

90
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: the confusing backfield. There's nobody back there kind of to

91
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: support him. I don't know what they what What do

92
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: you think they're gonna end up doing with this backfield?

93
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. You look at some of

94
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: the numbers, J p run him and he's a guy

95
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: who I think could break out this This could be

96
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: to his benefit. You know, not to say you never

97
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: want to see someone go down, but when when when when? When?

98
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: When player does go down, there always has to be

99
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: that next man up, And I feel like p Ryan

100
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: could be the next man up. You look at his

101
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: at his numbers, I mean six hundred three rushing yards.

102
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: I feel like he's the guy who who's teetering on

103
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: that fence right now because I don't know if you

104
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: remember when before the draft two years ago, they have

105
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: the thing where you know our guys here, you know

106
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: t D and Kurt they get with all the guys.

107
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: I don't is it out in Coasta Masa or something

108
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: like that. And I feel like he was going a

109
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: hundred and every trill he was hitting the pad with

110
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: t D and you know, busting him all up in

111
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: the chin and whatnot. It's like easy. That man's a

112
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: hall of I think that he's a guy that's this.

113
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: It's a high octane cat, and I think he might

114
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: be ready to go. And I mean, I don't know.

115
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: The Redskins. We've seen them. I mean they they've had

116
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: troubles year after year after year, no matter what it is.

117
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: I mean, we know there's obviously a change of the

118
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: quarterback position, so things are gonna gonna depend on that.

119
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if if I say anyone

120
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: is poised to make a move, I would love to

121
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: say it would be Robert Kelly because you know, his

122
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: mind is always telling him no, but his body, more

123
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: times than not, is telling him yes. But I think

124
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: pet Ryan's gonna be that cat. Yeah, I think so too. Um.

125
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: The one thing I know about some my J. P.

126
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: Ryan at least this is what I was told before

127
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: the draft, before he got drafted. Is that apparently he

128
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: once lifted a Volkswagen or something. I don't know. Apparently

129
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: he's crazy strong. We're not here. Probably he looks like

130
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: a grown man, right, I mean, he doesn't look his

131
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: age say a bad thing, but he looks like he

132
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: should be yelling at some kids and running the grill

133
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: at somebody's cookout, like somebody's uncle. At least ten years

134
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: older than what he really is. Right now, when I

135
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: hear somebody living in Volkswagen, I think of Clark Clark

136
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: Kent and Superman, like when he was a kid and

137
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: his bad almost got touched by a truck. Truck here

138
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: changed the tire right exactly. So was it a rabbit

139
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: or a bug? It was like a I think it

140
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: was a bug. Was a bug? Diesel or Noel? You know,

141
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: it's a good question because these are important. Second there

142
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: you go, um else where. Another a c L injury.

143
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: Dion Paine, Colts wide receiver, rookie wide receiver. He was

144
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: having a really good training camp, got hurt in the

145
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: game against the Seahawks over the weekend. We know t

146
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: Y Hilton's number one. Looks like Ryan Grant is the

147
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: number two. The bigger question is, though, um, with Andrew

148
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: Luck there, and we'll talk a little bit Andrew Luck

149
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: a little later. But with Andrew Luck there, he looked good.

150
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: That's gotta be encouraging for this whole Colt offense right now.

151
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: I would think so. But you're talking about number one's

152
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: number two. But in in in all reality, the Colts

153
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: are number four when it comes to the division, right,

154
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna finish dead last in that division.

155
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't I don't see the Colts winning

156
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: more than six or seven games tops, you know, and

157
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: you know this could be a hot take. I know

158
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: we're not to the hot take takedowns Tex show. You'm

159
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: always ready for a hot take that, but I just

160
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: think that the Colts and and no disrespect and you

161
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: know something always you know, somewhat disrespectful coming disrespect. Shout

162
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: out to m j D. But it just it just

163
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: feels like the Colts Andrew Luck are are never gonna

164
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl. And I know that there's only

165
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: one Vince Lombardi Trophy to go around every single year,

166
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: there's only one, but I just don't see that happening.

167
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: I think that he's been just a little bit overrated.

168
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: And I think he's still a great, great talented quarterback,

169
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: but I think he's just a scoche overrated, like they

170
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: put him in a caliber that I feel that he

171
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: doesn't have the numbers just quite yet to be there.

172
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: And I know he had He's had some playoffs success

173
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: in the in the past, you know, as as a

174
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: young guy in the league. But I feel like you

175
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: just have to keep compounding on that and other guys

176
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: they have the numbers and they also have a little

177
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: bit of hardware, and I just don't feel he's there

178
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: quite yet. And I just think that, you know, I

179
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: feel like the division is gonna gonna chew up and

180
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: spit out the Indianapolis Colts this year. Man, all right,

181
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: So for all Colts fans, that's at cole right, there's promise.

182
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: You just have to put more pieces of the puzzle

183
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: around him, and then you know, you see Dion game

184
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: going down. That's not not great, right, I would say

185
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: this people got I will personally say I've been kind

186
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: of ex I did about hearing the things about about

187
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck and I was always trying to be cautious

188
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: about it, but then watching him play this weekend, like, dude,

189
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: look good. I mean, and I don't know what this

190
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: means for them when the super Bowl, I think you're

191
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: right there. They're still away to have the best quarterback

192
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: in his draft. No, No, was Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson

193
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: was They had that, which you know they've They've got

194
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: a hold and in this year, another quarterback from their

195
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: draft has a very good chance to jump ahead and

196
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: become the number two quarterback out of that draft. Who's

197
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: that Kirk Cousins. Oh do you like that? I was

198
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 1: gonna like that too. Wow. Interesting because if the Minnesota

199
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: Vikings and Kirk Cousins put everything together, they're gonna be

200
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 1: a tough nut to crack. Boy. They look they looked

201
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: fantastic against the Broncos on Saturday. And it's just preseason.

202
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: It's preseason, but still, I mean, I think there's sort

203
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: of stuff to take away from that. Um des Bryant,

204
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 1: who has been just kind of hanging around looking for

205
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: big uh. He is expected to meet with the Browns

206
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: sometime this week. The reports say likely on Thursday, but

207
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 1: who knows. Um First off, this this is ranking for

208
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: the best most eight teen story in the NFL. Right,

209
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: I feel like he's sitting on the couch in his

210
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: robe like Will Ferrelly in wedding crashes like. But me,

211
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 1: it's like, I'm this chilling. I'll come maybe Thursday, maybe Friday.

212
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 1: Who know. So John Dorrison the GM says, you know,

213
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 1: I've been trying to call it des Brian, He's not

214
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: returning my calls whatever. So instead of calling John Dorsey

215
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: this tweets about it. He says, you know, I'm starting

216
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 1: my business next week. I'm coming to the land to

217
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: see you, Mr Dorsey. I'm like, that's how t is that?

218
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: You know what he's like? Oh, phones ringing g M

219
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: for a team. I might want to play perspective employer.

220
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: Let tweet about him. I'm a tweet about It's not

221
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: even text him back, right, I'm gonna tweet about kids

222
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: these days. Um. I say most twenty story is this,

223
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 1: and it's the fact that when the Niners signed Richard Sherman,

224
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: he and owner Jed York had to unblock each other

225
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Those are the top two stories. But for Dez,

226
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: do you like the fit? Potentially if he lands in

227
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: Cleveland once again. Like the there there's so many outside

228
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: variables and one thing that's that's really inside is the health.

229
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: And if you if you can put him in there

230
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: and everybody can be healthy, you know, I think Tyrod

231
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: Taylor can lead this team to some WS this year.

232
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: And it might sound crazy, but that's that's That's the

233
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,599
Speaker 1: best part about the NFL is that from year to

234
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: year a team can go, as we always like to say,

235
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: from Ashley to classy real And I mean, we haven't

236
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: seen it with the Browns franchise, but you know, Hope

237
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: springs eternal every single season. And I feel like if

238
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 1: you could add a guy like Dez Bryant, I know,

239
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: he hasn't had a season with a thousand or more

240
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: yards since two thousand and fourteen, and you know, it's

241
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: not always easy to get in that DeLorean and and

242
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: be the player that once were. But I don't I

243
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: don't know. I think he could be complimentary. I think

244
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: if if Josh Gordon can get back there and he

245
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: can do what needs to be done from him, not

246
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: only on the field, but off the field as well,

247
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: and they could have something going on. Man, we'll see,

248
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: but I would just rather see Dez and John Dorsey

249
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: have a direct right like Mark, you're you know, we're

250
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: talking about coming on the show. I'm like, just I'll

251
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: just I'll just tweet you and pre Christina like maybe

252
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 1: I'll come on, Maybe I won't. I don't know, like

253
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: i Ascid wanted me to come on, and I guess

254
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: like this is sort of like I'm playing golf on Monday.

255
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: Who knows. This is sort of like you know, like

256
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: elementary school or you know, junior high when when you

257
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: like a girl and you get you write the note

258
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 1: to your your boy and you have him like take

259
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: it over. That's kind of what this feels like, yes,

260
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: no or maybe right exactly? The check boxes, Um, do

261
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: you want me to play for the Browns? Mr? Dorton

262
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: check one? Um, you talk about the receiver, I mean

263
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: Jordan Josh Gordon is still away kind of getting his

264
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: mind right. Corey Coleman got traded Antonio Callaway. Uh had

265
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: his his arrest the other day last week. Come on, man, um,

266
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm curious to see if the league

267
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: is going to be fine or suspend him. The Browns

268
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 1: seemed to kind of be waiting and seeing Uh and

269
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 1: the Jarvis Landry out here just yelling at people in

270
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: the in the wide receiver reactment. That was thank you.

271
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: That was a little bit of inspiration. So I gotta

272
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: shout out to Jarvis for for inspiration. Was a little

273
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: bit jealous, you know, I like the dabbling profanities when

274
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: when not on a hot but we're not on a

275
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: hot minke. Yeah, So I was like, I wish I

276
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: could be and I think I got him all out

277
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 1: for the whole. I was surprised. I think he took

278
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 1: off so the police to everyone, thanks to everybody who

279
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 1: who shared that. But the so there are potentially some

280
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: weapons there with Gordon and Landry, does I think you know,

281
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 1: you talk about him not being the old the guy

282
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 1: that he was, maybe he doesn't have to be. You know,

283
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: if Josh Gordon is is himself and Jarvis Landry is

284
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: the guy we know, maybe it doesn't have to be

285
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: that dude who has a thousand yards. Maybe you can

286
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 1: have eight and fifty yards and still be okay in

287
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 1: this offense. So I feel like if his if his

288
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: touchdown numbers are up, his yardage numbers can be down right,

289
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: you know that that's there has to be a given

290
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,719
Speaker 1: and take something about exactly would be on board with it.

291
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: You know. I know Baker Mayfield was great over the weekend,

292
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: but the Tyrod I still don't that. That's pretty good, man,

293
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. I always say, if you could take

294
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: sixteen quarterbacks with Tyrod being those sixteen, and I think

295
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: if people got to sit and look at the numbers

296
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: for half an hour and say, Okay, here's who I

297
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: wanted my sixteen quarterbacks, I think would be in there.

298
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: And I think to say, you're a top half quarterback.

299
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: That's that's pretty solid. I wouldn't frown it. It look.

300
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: I think Bills fans are gonna realize this year, like

301
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: this is gonna be Bills fans this year. Last bit

302
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,839
Speaker 1: of news, Jerk McKinnon nine is running back Stuffers a

303
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: minor knee injury. Doesn't appear to be anything major. I

304
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: don't thin there's anything to stressed about. I think everybody

305
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: kind of freaked out at first, but now it appears

306
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: to be minor. The Niners do have Matt Brada who

307
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: had a shoulder injury in the preseason game, and he's

308
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: gonna be out for a couple of weeks. But you know,

309
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 1: at first thing something to worry about. Doesn't seem like

310
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: it's anything to worry about right now, because you know

311
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: it's if it's reported, I feel like it's right. You

312
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: still might want to keep an eye on it. You look,

313
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: I always say, the last time someone reported on one

314
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: of your injuries, never know my mind either, And if

315
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: they did, I'd feel like it was it would be

316
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: pretty something, something pretty significant. That is the thing, you know.

317
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,599
Speaker 1: You know, ian re report says the injury does not

318
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: appear to be major, and I'm like, yeah, it's never

319
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: major when it's not you exactly, it's not your knees.

320
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: So so of course Jerry McKenna woke up this morning

321
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 1: it was like, oh wow, like it was somewhat you know,

322
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: he's like you know, he probably like, oh it hurts.

323
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: And somebody was like, don't worry about it's just mine here,

324
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: like no, it's my right exactly. There you go. That

325
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: is pretty much everything you need to know. That was

326
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: the news Old NFL Films music. I love that man, Yeah,

327
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know how anyone we talked out

328
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: about that song. Yeah it's dope, right, you can almost

329
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: apply that as your theme music, like you know I'm

353
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: preseason Week one takeaways that this because, by the way, everybody,

354
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: this was actually preseason week one last week. It's strange.

355
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: So I know a lot of places, like in high

356
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: school football, to have like a week zero, So I

357
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: guess like last week would have been weak zero in

358
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: the preseason. I don't know actually was lived in a

359
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: place where they had a week double zero, which is

360
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: even weirder. Why would you even why wouldn't you just

361
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: go from one and and four whatever? Right, I don't know,

362
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: like someone has an aversion to like the number or eight.

363
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, I've been double zero zero. So this even

364
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: though the Bears and Ravens played in the Hall of

365
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: Fame game, that was not Week one. This was week

366
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: one in the preseason. Yet. But Michael Gallup the Cowboys.

367
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: The Cowboys, we talked about des Bryant not being in

368
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: Dallas anymore. We know Alan Hearns is there after that,

369
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: you know, there's no Jayson Witten. It's kind of a

370
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: toss up, but Michael Gallup is looking good. We know

371
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: Zeke's gonna be okay, and you know, who knows what

372
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: happens with the receivers. My question to you, though, is

373
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: does all this make you feel better or worse about

374
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott this year? I think it makes me feel

375
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: a little bit better because you know, Jason Witten is gone,

376
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: does Bryant's gone? And I think that's the old guard

377
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: man Tony Romo's boys, right, not not for nothing. I

378
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: mean that came in and those guys already there, and

379
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 1: you never really saw a complete chemistry with with either

380
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: of them. I think there was more with with Jason Witten,

381
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 1: and I think that that not to say that there

382
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: there wasn't, you know, somewhat of a bond between Dac

383
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: and Dez, But that's not his guy. When he was

384
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: in crunch time and they were when there were situations

385
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: where he was looking looking looking, it really wasn't for

386
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: either of those guys to me. Cole Beasley seems to

387
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: be that's that's his boy, that's who he rides with.

388
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: If man, if I'm in the gym, if i'm if

389
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: if I'm back up against the wall, I'm looking for

390
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley at all costs. And I think that this

391
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup cat, I'm thinking that there's gonna be a

392
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 1: lot of chemistry, a lot of cohesion between these guys,

393
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: because you know, we thought about that, you know, before

394
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: camp even got underway. I mean, there there were big

395
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: expectations for Michael Gallup and and people thought that he

396
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: was maybe a steel for the Cowboys. And I you know,

397
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: we were talking with Jane Slater when she was out

398
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: there at camp. We were talking with Steve Weisch and

399
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: you know, we're all reports were that he was out

400
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: there killing. And I remember watching that game and I

401
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 1: almost saw it because they switched coverage and then gallop

402
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: and I'm like, they're going on right side down the sideline,

403
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: sure enough, and it was just like that and it

404
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: happened quick fast, in a hurry. And I think that

405
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: we could see that a lot this season. If the

406
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: Cowboys get up on you quick via the wide receiving game,

407
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: they're just gonna, I mean they're gonna they're gonna beat

408
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: you to death steady, and you don't know. It's so

409
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,959
Speaker 1: it's like it's almost like a pitching set up, Like oh,

410
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: you think a guy that throws a hundred miles and

411
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: hours coming first pitch fastball. No, he pitched you with

412
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: the hammer first. And now you're thinking, so you're in

413
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: trouble from the very onset. Yeah, you're j Cole Beasley too.

414
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 1: He's been hyping up this wide receiver group. I mean,

415
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know what he's going to say. Otherwise,

416
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: he's not gonna stand up there and say, you know,

417
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: we we suck. But but he there has been reports

418
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: that him and back have gotten along, that they're kind

419
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: of working together. So maybe, you know, maybe he's a

420
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: guy we're sleeping on a little bit this year. I

421
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 1: think this is the This is the new generation, right,

422
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: like like Prince's band, you know, the new power generation.

423
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: So we're talking a little bit about the Browns and

424
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: their quarterback situation. Baker Mayfield balled out there. I mean,

425
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 1: there's no way around it against the Giants on Thursday.

426
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: But the Browns say they're still sticking with ty Rod.

427
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: I'm down with that, but I know that Hugh Jackson

428
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: has a tendency to say things that don't necessarily end

429
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: up being true at the end of the year. Do

430
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: you think they stick with Tyrode all year longer do

431
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: we see Baker at some point? You know, I think

432
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: it's a perfect situation for Baker Mayfield. Uh, to have

433
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: a playoff caliber quarterback in the house, ready to run

434
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: your system, you know, with it with a bunch of

435
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: new pieces and potentially a new piece. And Dez Bryant

436
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: is that all if if if Dez ever wants to

437
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: get off Twitter make a commitment to playing football. But uh,

438
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 1: I think that to have Tyrode there, that's a perfect situation.

439
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: It gives Baker that that ability to sit back watch

440
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: learn do it from professional I mean you watch hard

441
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: knocks as I would imagine, and we saw Hugh Jackson

442
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: ask Baker Mayfield get Tyrode. He was here early, right,

443
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 1: He's got a little routines, like where's your little routine?

444
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: So I think that you know, Baker's gonna learn and he,

445
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: like he said, he's like I'm learning, man, I'm just

446
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: a rookie. These are things that all come with with

447
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: the territory. And I think that if he can learn

448
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,479
Speaker 1: behind the guys season veteran like Tyrod Taylor, I mean,

449
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: people forget Tyrod with the back up Tyrod Taylor has

450
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl ring, you know, so I think that

451
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 1: you know, he's been there, he's done that, and him

452
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: taking the bills of the playoffs for the first time.

453
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: It's like I keep saying it, but our suits had

454
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 1: a whole lot more buttons and exactly so for them

455
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 1: to be able to take him out, putting Nathan Peterman

456
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: and shoot themselves in both feet and still and still

457
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: make it to the postseason with Tyrod, I think the

458
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: Browns they have something. So I wouldn't straight away from that.

459
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 1: Unless Tyrod goes out there and looks terrible in every

460
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: single preseason performance, it doesn't really matter because you know

461
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: what you're gonna get with him. You're gonna get a

462
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: quality quarterback. He's not gonna turn the ball over. He's

463
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 1: gonna be efficient and every once in a while if

464
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: he if he has the right pieces, he's gonna take

465
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: a strike downfield. He's not, you know, he's not the

466
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: biggest arm quarterback. However, I think he can still get

467
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 1: it there. And when you have pieces, you know, like

468
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: a Josh Gore and you bring in a Dez Bryan

469
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 1: and there's other compliments, you know, we'll see, right. I

470
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: think the other thing for the Browns is you know,

471
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,160
Speaker 1: I know that obviously one win in the LIE has

472
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: two seasons and and everybody says, you know, what do

473
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: you have to lose? But they gotta win some games,

474
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: right I mean, they're they're they're not a play. They're

475
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: gonna win. But I think, you know, I think you

476
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: gotta go with the quarterback that gives you the best

477
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: chance to win games. And right now, I just think

478
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: it's Tyrod Taylor. I mean, if you're Hugh Jackson and

479
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: you're one and thirty one in your last two seasons,

480
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: like you have to jump in the late because you

481
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: made a promise. But you know, but hold on a second.

482
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: They have only won one game in the last two years.

483
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: But if if you go back two years ago and

484
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: you tell any other fan base in the National Football League, hey,

485
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: guess what next season is gonna be. Next season, the

486
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars are gonna be fire and they're gonna be

487
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: one game away from the Super Bowl. I don't think

488
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: many people would believe you outside of Jacksonville and Duval

489
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: County people, So Jacksonville probably wouldn't a percent believe you

490
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: there either. I think they kind of knew what they

491
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: had brewing. So they started making moves. They started bringing

492
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: guys in Malik Jackson, Clay's Campbell, you know, a j boy,

493
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: and they brought those cats in. And I think that

494
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 1: that was just something that they knew had to be done.

495
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: But I don't think that the outside of the people

496
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: in this building, and you know, in Duval County, I

497
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: don't think a lot of people really knew what they

498
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: had cooking down there. But you know, like I said,

499
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: anything can happen, and I don't think that the Browns

500
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,919
Speaker 1: are going to be you know, this year's Jacksonville Jaguars squad.

501
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: I mean, but we've seen crazier things happen before. Yeah.

502
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: I look, I've got the Browns like six and ten,

503
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: which you know doesn't seem spectacular, but after the last

504
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: two years, sounds unbelievable. Right, That's that's improvement. That's that's

505
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: great improvement. So I know I quarterback to win two

506
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: games for the Browns. Johnny Manzel, huh yeah, now uh

507
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: not getting rung up in clear in Canada, member of

508
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 1: the uh. So. You mentioned the Jacksonville Jaguars and there's

509
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: been a lot of hype around Blake Bortles in that

510
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 1: passing game this this preseason and played pretty well. Didn't

511
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: play a ton over the weekend, but played pretty well.

512
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: Um not to mention that he has maybe one of

513
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: the firest Twitter accounts about him, Blake Bortles Facts is

514
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 1: one of the most fire Twitter accounts out there right now?

515
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: Are you are you ready to town Brady? Ready together?

516
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: Super Bowler? That's right? You know, are you ready to

517
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: believe maybe in Blake Bortles? Like, is this uh? Is

518
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: this the thing that's happening? Can we start to get

519
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 1: on board? You know, I've never been anti Blake Bortles.

520
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: I'm anti Blake Portles hate. Okay, that's what That's what

521
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 1: I'm against because you know, there's a lot of people

522
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: out there that want to take things away from this guy.

523
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: Is he the best quarterback in the National Football League?

524
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: Absolutely not? But is he a starting quarterback on a

525
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: solid team without a doubt. Are there things that he

526
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: could do better? For sure, But there's the things that

527
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of quarterbacks can do better. And I

528
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 1: think that he just gets maybe maybe maybe an unfair

529
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 1: you know, slice of that cake. I don't know why

530
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: that is. And I just think that you know, there's

531
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 1: a lot of disrespect right that comes at my man,

532
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles, and I don't know why. Well, I like

533
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: there's other quarterbacks who are are worse or the same,

534
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: And I'm not like I'm saying, I'm not putting him

535
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: at any kind of level, you know, like like like

536
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 1: a Drew Brees, Tom Brady a big band and Eli

537
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: Manning and I'm I'm not even putting them where Tyrod

538
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: is at right now, right But I think he has

539
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: the potential if everything falls into place, to to do

540
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: some things. And I think that, you know, with with

541
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 1: those offensive pieces, I mean, all you have to really

542
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: do is just don't mess it up. And no one

543
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 1: wants to really be a game manager, but everyone likes

544
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: to be a winner. So I mean, I don't know

545
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: what what do you want to be? Do you want

546
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 1: to be? You know, underrated? Overpaid? You know what's better?

547
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: I mean I think part of it. You know, this guy,

548
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: he was the number three overall pick a few years ago.

549
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: He didn't pick himself. He didn't pick himself. You know,

550
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: he didn't tell anybody to do that day, so but

551
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,719
Speaker 1: he did he I think last year was a good

552
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: example what you mentioned he didn't necessarily win a lot

553
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: of games for him, but he didn't lose a lot

554
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: of games, you know, and other quarterbacks lost games for

555
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: their other quarterbacks lost games. And so I think the

556
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: Borders can kind of keep going with that and maybe

557
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: get a lock it better. Um. I think I think

558
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: you know, you know, he's he'll never be your your

559
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: QB one in fantasy. He'll be a guy you pick

560
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: off the waiver wirre and you streaming, and that's fine,

561
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: there's nothing, there's no shame in that will never be

562
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: a run. He will never be a re. I think

563
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: that is perfect. Uh. Last one of preseason one takeaways,

564
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:11,239
Speaker 1: Sam Donald great quarterback or greatest quarterback? Preseason week number one?

565
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: He's He's Hall of the preseason number one. He's preseason

566
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: week one Hall of Fame right now. I mean I

567
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:21,479
Speaker 1: think part of his I've been laughing because I am

568
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: fight on forever, right you know this, But there boys,

569
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: But even watching how excited Jets fans get has been hilarious.

570
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: I mean it's deprived fan. I mean, what do they

571
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: have to hang their hats on. It's not not a

572
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 1: whole bunch. I mean that the Mark Sanchez Rex Ryan,

573
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: Yours seemed a long time away, man. I mean those

574
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 1: a f C Championship games they are and and the

575
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: thing about it is, though even those years, I mean

576
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: they weren't great. I mean, you know Sanchez, I know

577
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: we got him to a couple of a f C

578
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: Championship games. Their defense kind of kind of got them there.

579
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 1: I mean, so like, I don't know who's the last

580
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: I'm going back through and like the last really like

581
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 1: solid quarterback they had, like Chad Pennington. Um, you know,

582
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: they had one year Brett Farve, but that wasn't great.

583
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: NFL Legends foundation. Uh that's right. I think he probably

584
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: has an NFL Legends shirt on right now. Every time

585
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: I see jas Bennington, he's rocking an NFL Legends polo. Yeah,

586
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: you know, he just his whole classes actually probably just

587
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: just lined, just fused to his body at this point. Um.

588
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, they just haven't had a great quarterback in

589
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,479
Speaker 1: a long time though, So I get it they're excited. Um,

590
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 1: I'm curious. I'm curiously what happens. I want to see.

591
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: I want to see Donald succeed. I'm just amused by

592
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: the whole thing. That's all. Speaking of Rex Ryan, I'd

593
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 1: like to see Rex Ryan head coaching again. If Matt

594
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: Naggie doesn't work out in Chicago, that's that's where I

595
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: want to see him. I think that they should just

596
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: make Rex Ryan the head coach of whoever who works

597
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: on hard knocks. Let's get a snack. Yeah, you know

598
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 1: whoever's on hard knots. Rex Ryan is your coach at

599
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 1: least for the for the preseason. Just six might not

600
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: be his tasty these days. He's lost it, he's lost

601
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: some weight lost. M LB's there. So you know who

602
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: knows with something sweet and with Stevia as opposed to sugar.

603
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: Look at you? Um? All right, So here we go

604
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: the hot take takedown. So, so everybody who watched NFL

605
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live last season, Cole would be hosting on Thursdays

606
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: and we would always do the hot taps. Take that

607
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: last year Thursday, thy year before it was Friday, I

608
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: think so um, And so you know, basically it involved

609
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 1: him with a toaster and uh, I'm gonna miss that

610
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: segment and just just firing off hot takes and getting

611
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: our our feeling on whether or not they were too hot,

612
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 1: if they made sense or whatever. So I got three

613
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: of them here for you. Um So, first one Joe Flacco, who,

614
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: right now, according to his a DP on Fantasy football calculators,

615
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: going undrafted. Right you know, we've all talked about Lamar

616
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: Jackson and what his future could be, but Flacco is

617
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 1: the starter. So I'm saying, Joe Flacco, we'll have more

618
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: fantasy points than Jared Goff, who right now is the QB. Wrong. Wow,

619
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: it's too hot for you. I don't think that it's

620
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: gonna happen. I think Jared Goff golf has too many weapons.

621
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: I think, you know, even you know, even even passes

622
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 1: you know, to to Todd Gurley are gonna'm gonna work

623
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: out for him. But there you know, when when things work,

624
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,719
Speaker 1: I think his numbers are gonna stack up. And I mean,

625
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: I've never even entertained the thought of having Joe Flecco

626
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: on my fantasy roster. They're not saying he's not a

627
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: good quarterback, but he's just not a fantasy guy. That

628
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: really stirs the pot from me. I mean, have you

629
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 1: ever had a measure fantasy quarterback? Before I tell the truth,

630
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: I have not. Have you ever thought about saying, hey, man,

631
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: I want who the Ravens played this week. Oh man,

632
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: I really could use fleck on my Tham. You never

633
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,239
Speaker 1: said that, not what I can recall, no once, not ever,

634
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: not that I can recall, no disrespect. Sorry, Joe. I'm

635
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: sure Joe is not losing any sleep about this, Like,

636
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: oh my god, baby, Cole Right has never had me

637
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: on his fantasy team. I'm sure he's drying his tears

638
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: with money bills. He's probably had those five thousand dollar

639
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: bills that cat's got so much lead have some loot loot. So,

640
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: I mean, the reason I'll tell you the reason that

641
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: I put this out here because and I've kind of

642
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: drank the kool aid a little bit because I know

643
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: they got Michael Crabtree, who was pretty good the last

644
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: couple of years with the Raiders. Um. The the revival

645
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: of John Smokey Brown kind of has me a little

646
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: bit fired up. Um, So, I mean, there there are

647
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: things there. Hayden Hurst is their rookie tight end. Potentially

648
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: they've got catching out of the name and Hurst. Plus

649
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: he's got the long red hair that comes out of

650
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: the back of his helmet. I feel like he should

651
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: come at least one week of the season. He should

652
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: come to the Arena, dressed as Hunter Hurst Helmsley from

653
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: Back in the Day hair and a ponytail, ruffled shirt,

654
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: riding pants high boat. We gotta at some point, we

655
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: gotta have this debate, and it can't. It may not

656
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: be this year because Hunter Henry is hurt, but we

657
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: have Hunter Henry and Hayden Hurst and one of those

658
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: guys very stately names, very stately names, and one of

659
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: them should be able to claim, you know, kind of

660
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: the NFL's version of triple h. At some point, I

661
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: feel like you should say that both of their names

662
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: with clinched jaws, Hunter Henry not no, not like that,

663
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: almost like a Thurst and how you know, like a

664
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: Hunter like that credit guy from Guy. Oh yeah, James

665
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: William bo whatever. Yeah. Interesting. Alright, So next hot tape

666
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: and this one we can kind of get into some

667
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: other things here. D J. Moore Panthers rookie wide receiver

668
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: will score more touchdowns than Kelvin Benjamin, Cam Newton's least

669
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: favorite wide receiver. I'm I'm riding with Cam right now,

670
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: all right, because did you see the interaction. I saw

671
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: the interaction. Kelvin Benjamin kind of went out son, I

672
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: mean just you're gonna run your mouth about a cat

673
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: like that, you gotta gotta you gotta be willing to

674
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: stand up and talk to him to face. And he

675
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: was back pedaling. And if if, if someone's what steps

676
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: to me like that, guess where I'm going. My feet

677
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: are standing right in the ground. Unless I really feel

678
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: like this dude's about to beat. As somebody said on Twitter,

679
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: Kelvin Benjamin still couldn't get separation. Wow, Like I just

680
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: saw it mean and that that was Thomas Davis who

681
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: was talking to him earlier right, which, by the way,

682
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: eat it scam. At first, I thought it was just

683
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: like a you know, a rookie or somebody that they're

684
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: like that. Thomas David, he just like shoot away like that.

685
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: And I don't know, man, Like I just I think

686
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: the fact that he put that out there about Cam,

687
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: maybe it's gonna, you know, inspire him to work a

688
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: little bit harder this year. Hopefully it does, because I

689
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: think he's one of the most talented quarterbacks that we've

690
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: seen in the history of the league. Could he be

691
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: one of the best, absolutely, But I think that Calvin

692
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: Benjamin underproduces man, and I think this year, I mean

693
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: who's their quarterback? Do we do? We even know? No,

694
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: we don't. I mean, I mean that's the thought. We

695
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: thought a J. McCarron was gonna be a guy they're

696
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: gonna take that next step. And Cincinnati everyone said he's

697
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: he's ready to be a starter. But from everything, you're

698
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: here and Nathan Peterman's winning that quarterback battle right now.

699
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: And then there's still Josh Adllen, like they draft him

700
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: in the first round if if they had plans, you know,

701
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: I'm playing other guys right, Yeah, I think it's one. Sure,

702
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: we all know Cam Newton is not the most accurate

703
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: quarterback out there, but so suddenly throw him under the

704
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: bus makes makes you look bad. And then I thought,

705
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, you go to a the worst quarterback situation.

706
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: If you're Calvin Benjamin, you're in Buffalo, things are not

707
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: going to be better for you. So maybe, you know,

708
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: I just say, maybe Cam looks at d J. Morris says,

709
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: you know what, I got this guy here, I'm gonna

710
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: make him a star in the like Calvin Man. You know,

711
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: the way that that Cam punked out Calvin Benjamin to

712
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: a certain extent makes me give him somewhat of a

713
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: free pass for some of his whack outfits somewhe because

714
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,239
Speaker 1: they showed me that he still has a little bit

715
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: of old school in him, because most kids these days

716
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: they don't. They don't do that, like they would have

717
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: just beefed on Twitter. But the fact that Cam stepped

718
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: to him like, hey, if you got an issue, then

719
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: let it be known, right like there's a problem, and

720
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: the Cam's credit, He's like, you know, I'm not gonna

721
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna debate him in the media.

722
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be on social like I'm just gonna

723
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: to him, well have it out. We don't know. I'm

724
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: not gonna sit here and dog anybody on Twitter, like

725
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: if you gotta beef, like, I'll come up to you.

726
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: I won't be wearing a funny hat and my back pocket.

727
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: But either way, all right, last hot take here. This

728
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: is the new one. This is what I've kind of

729
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: latched onto. Leonard four. Nett will finish the season as

730
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: the have to se RB one. He will be the

731
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: best running back in fantasy football this year. I'm gonna

732
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: go with hi, man, I'm gonna go through because he

733
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: did clown me on Twitter. Things on Twitter, he said

734
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: I had a head like a sugar baby. Like a

735
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: sugar sugar baby, he did. He had a second on

736
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: Total Access where we're going through tweets and we were

737
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: the one where he was walking with the you know,

738
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: the Louis Va tom bag, and I was I said

739
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: he had a full, full grown man. Beard said his

740
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: beard was like thirty six years old. And I was

741
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: just saying that because I out of respect because he

742
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: he he runs, he's so mature everything he does, and

743
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: not saying he looks like he's old. He's not like

744
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: some j P. Ryan. Ryan does look like he's he's

745
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: a little bit older and someone's uncle. But I'm just saying,

746
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: like Leonard four Nette, is that grown man, like I mean,

747
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: he was twenty eight when he was twelve, you know,

748
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: so and then he said like he thought he thought

749
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: I was trying to clown and I'm like, you know,

750
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: I'm an l s U guy, so clearly I'm rolling

751
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: with Leonard for Nett. And he said I had to

752
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: head like a sugar baby. I told a man, no disrespect.

753
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: I was just giving you a shout. I would say

754
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: this though, like, you know, maybe that might be love

755
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: from Leonard four next he likes like it. I pulled

756
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: up this, you know, this Instagram thing with a picture

757
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: of Jalen Ramsey getting ready to get on the plane

758
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: and the first comments from Winning four net where he says,

759
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:21,800
Speaker 1: Jane looks like a single mama. Yeah that's yeah, so

760
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: he was clowning. Maybe it could just be all love

761
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: between you and Leonard hopefully so, because I think he's

762
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: a base and I think he's gonna be, you know,

763
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: one of the key components for that squad this year.

764
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: And we saw it last year and I think we'll

765
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: see it again this year. You know, if he can

766
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: run at a dent, I mean he's a dangerous man.

767
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: So that that's I mean, everyone that's a Jacksonville Jaguar

768
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: fan they already know. But I think he could finish

769
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: the season as a running back one here. Who knows,

770
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 1: who knows, We'll see. Uh yeah. Plus he's the he's

771
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: one of the members of my off season b s

772
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: o h L Club. He's in the best shape of

00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: talk about some more boom or bust guys, Let's go

780
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: to the phone. Well, one of the things I like

781
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: to do on the show is bring on people with

782
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 1: some some different opinions and send some different ways of

783
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: looking at things. And to join me today on the

784
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: phone is Mike tag Leier. You can find him at

785
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: Fantasy Pros where he is their lead NFL writer and

786
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: analysts also the co host at the Fantasy Fantasy Pros podcast.

787
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 1: And uh, he's got a little bit about Boom and Bust.

788
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: He's writing for a second straight year. But the one

789
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:32,959
Speaker 1: to welcome Mike to the show. Mike, thanks for taking

790
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 1: my call. Thanks for hanging out with me today. Of course,

791
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 1: thanks for having me out. I'm always down to doction

792
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: football absolutely well. We are getting right into the heart

793
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: of things and I was reading your Boom and Bust series.

794
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: I know this is the second year you've done it

795
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: and and found some things that were absolutely fascinating. Uh,

796
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: and starting with the quarterbacks, because you talk about boom

797
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,280
Speaker 1: and bust, and you kind of set levels per game

798
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,439
Speaker 1: for players that that count is that and and sort

799
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,800
Speaker 1: of sort more looking at how often they go boom,

800
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: how often they go bust. For this is maybe just

801
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 1: looking at their wide receiver one or quarterback one or

802
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: what have you. And you talk about DeShawn Watson and

803
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: obviously he was huge and he went boom a lot,

804
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: and we got him. You know, we saw a fairly

805
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 1: small sample size. Now I've seen him coming off the

806
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: board as the QB two. In some situations, are we

807
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: a little bit too hyped? I mean, is this guy

808
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: worthy of being a top five quarterback pick this year?

809
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: That's the thing is like, by people drafting him as

810
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: high as a QB two next to Aaron Rodgers, you're

811
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: almost betting on him doing exactly what he did last year,

812
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: you know. But but looking at it, the reason that

813
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,399
Speaker 1: I don't see it happening, and the reason I believe

814
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,240
Speaker 1: he's being overdrafted is because if you look at Watson's

815
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: nine and a half percent touchdown rates from two Dolphins

816
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,399
Speaker 1: seven teams, there was second to only Peyton Manning since

817
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: the Ontal merger, a number that could essentially be cut

818
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: in half in two eight teams and still be above average.

819
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 1: I mean, think about it this way. Even if we

820
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: gave him Tom brad He's touchdown percentage last year, it

821
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 1: would have cut his touchdown from nineteen to eleven. His

822
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: fantasy points per game would have went down the eighth

823
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: per game. It's not bad, but again it's not it's

824
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 1: not the great you know that number two quarterbacks that

825
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: you're paying for. I mean, with Watson, you're talking about

826
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 1: a five game sample. Side. Did you know, like a

827
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: fun fact that I've talked about on my podcast, Blake

828
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: Bortles was the number one fantasy quarterback from week twelve

829
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 1: through weeks sixteen, which was also a five game sample.

830
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: Yet he's being drafted outside the top twenty quarterbacks. I'm

831
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: not saying that Watson should be down, you know, outside

832
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 1: the top ten or anything, but when you're drafting a

833
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: quarterback number two among quarterbacks, take someone like Russell Wilson,

834
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,439
Speaker 1: who has done it for three of the last four years.

835
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: He's one of the most insistent quarterbacks of fantasy football,

836
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: and you just don't have to worry about if if

837
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 1: that five games sample was just too small. Yeah, you know,

838
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 1: you talk about Lake Bortles too. And I was the

839
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: guy who midway through the last season kept telling everybody

840
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: try to get Bortles. Trade for Bordles, picked him up.

841
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: He's the schedule sets up well for him. So I

842
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 1: felt kind of vindicated at the end of that. And

843
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: you're saying that makes me you can get pat myself

844
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: on the back once again, um kirk Cousins. I mean,

845
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: obviously there are big expectations for him now with the

846
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: with Vikings last year, I was shocked to myself this

847
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: he went bust basically according to your you know your

848
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: your scenario almost at the time. Now he's in Minnesota

849
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: with presumably some better weapons around him. Do you see

850
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: him maybe being a little more consistent this year? He

851
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: should be more consistent. I'll be clear about that. But

852
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: you know, it's a it's a situation with quarterbacks. I

853
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: want to be clear about in that. You know, outside

854
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,800
Speaker 1: of like the top tier where the Russell Wilson's and

855
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, there's not many guys that finishes the QB

856
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 1: one more than fifty percent at the time. As a

857
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: matter of fact, in this series I went through it,

858
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: there were just five quarterbacks last year who finished as

859
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,879
Speaker 1: a top twelve performer more than fifty percent at the time,

860
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: Church Cousins wasn't one of them. Tom Brady wasn't one

861
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: of them. So but becausin is the reason that he's

862
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 1: such a risky fantasy pick is because people look at

863
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: him and he's like, well, he's finished top eight and

864
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,359
Speaker 1: each the last three seasons. That's fine overall, but he's

865
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 1: been really inconsistent. Actually, over the last three years, he's busted,

866
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: which I consider a bust for a quarterback less than

867
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: fourteen fantasy points. That's gonna hurt you. It could potentially

868
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: cost you the week. Eighteen forty eight games over the

869
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 1: last three years Cousins has busted. There there were nineteen

870
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: quarterbacks who posted a lower percentage than him in two

871
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: dollars and seventeen including Marcus Mariota who had a bad year,

872
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: taking Rod Taylor, who had essentially no weapons, and Josh McCown,

873
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 1: who obviously you know, is in the last lext of

874
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: his career. The weapons are better in Minnesota, but so

875
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: is the defense. So he's gonna see there's gonna be

876
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: less total pass attempts than what he did while he

877
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 1: was out there in Washington, but it should be a

878
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 1: little bit more efficient. I don't want to say efficient,

879
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: because he's been really efficient, but a little more consistent. Absolutely,

880
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: I went on the running back side. Lashawn McCoy has

881
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: been a guy that just scares the heck out of

882
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: me this year. And I know that. You know, he's

883
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: the guy who generally has been more boom than bust,

884
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: even in Buffalo, where you know they haven't been all

885
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 1: that great. But this year everything looks so scary about him.

886
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not I'm not crazy right for being

887
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: worried about Lashawn McCoy this year, am I. I don't

888
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: think you're crazy at all. No, I'd call him a

889
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame running back. I think he's one of

890
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: the best of the generation. But he's not planning on

891
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,439
Speaker 1: what should be a bottom five scoring NFL offense behind

892
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: a bottom five offensive line that they lose three really

893
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 1: good starts in last year. Let's three guys who could

894
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 1: potentially be you can call them Pro Bowl talents. So

895
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 1: with that being said, there's a place for him in

896
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 1: fantasy football because you can't find the type of touches

897
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: that Lashaw McCoy gets outside of the top two round.

898
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,399
Speaker 1: He just can't do it. Knowing the off the field

899
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: question marks and the fact that people are are a

900
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: little bit weird of a potential suspension, He's turning into

901
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: someone of the value. He's not a sexy pick. He's

902
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 1: not someone who're gonna draft and you're gonna look at

903
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 1: your team like, Wow, this team just has so much upside.

904
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 1: Lusha McCoy doesn't come with top three upside anymore. Especially

905
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 1: with this team. You're going to get a low end

906
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: RB one provided he plays all six team games. And

907
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 1: you know, that's kind of the way that I sometimes

908
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: approach fantasy draft, where you can't win a league in

909
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: the first couple of rounds, but you can definitely lose it.

910
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: Knowing that McCoy, it seems that he's gonna avoid some

911
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: of the legal issues. I think he's a back end

912
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: RB one. Again, he's not gonna win you your fantasy league.

913
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: He's also not gonna lose it. I know you were

914
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 1: really worried about JG if like, you were so concerned

915
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: that you wrote a separate column about your your JGI concerns.

916
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: But is there is there any hope that things get better? Now?

917
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 1: There's any better offense in Philadelphia versus when he was

918
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 1: in Miami. Yeah. I mean the thing is is going

919
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 1: to a better offense with a better offensive line is

920
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: never a bad thing, right, But the fact that jg

921
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: I he's one of three running backs over the last

922
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: four years who has total at least two hundred carries

923
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: and didn't finish the top twenty four running back. I

924
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: mean there's been a lot of bad running backs on

925
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: bad teams who are part of that list that got

926
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: two hundred carries. I mean, Jonathan stud was on that

927
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 1: a couple of times, even though he doesn't catch passes.

928
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,959
Speaker 1: So those about a giant the upside. Again, you talked

929
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: about it being a better offense, not a question, Carson wentz.

930
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 1: Is he gonna be ready for the start of the season.

931
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: We're starting to have doubts on that right now. Alshon

932
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: Jeffrey came out today that alsand Jeffrey might start, that

933
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 1: he's on the publist. Darren sprobld is coming back for

934
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 1: his final season, and he said, this is it. Uh,

935
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 1: you know, Peterson loves him. He is the only running

936
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: back who had ever played for Douck Peterson in total.

937
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 1: More than I think it's forty three snaps with the Eagles,

938
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:08,959
Speaker 1: So when you're averaging, you know, thirty three or thirty

939
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,720
Speaker 1: five snaps like the Giant was with the Eagles towards

940
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 1: the end of the last season. With Daring Strolls out

941
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,839
Speaker 1: of the lineup, it's really concerning because you just don't

942
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: see top to your fantasy running backs with that low

943
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 1: of snap count. So he might finish as an RB

944
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 1: two overall at the end of the season, but I

945
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 1: think the ride is just gonna be much bumpier than

946
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,399
Speaker 1: people would prefer when they're using a top eight team

947
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:31,399
Speaker 1: running back. Pick on it on someone like a Giant.

948
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: Uh staying in division over in Washington. Obviously, the big

949
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 1: news for for the Redskins no Darius guys after he

950
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: tore his a c l over the weekend. How much

951
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 1: does that change things for this bag? I mean Chris

952
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: Thompson's obviously, they're still I don't know what what else

953
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: do we do with the rest of this backfield? Because

954
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: they they concerned me a lot. Yeah, a lot of

955
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 1: people have been asking you this question the last couple

956
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: of days, and I think there's a competition between some

957
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 1: and Rob Kelly. Now, Rob Kelly reportedly gotten really good shape.

958
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: He lost some weight this off season anticipating a battle

959
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: for the starting job, and then once they drafted guys,

960
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: you kind of like, Okay, that's not gonna happen. But

961
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 1: now he's back in that battle. I think that Washington

962
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 1: would prefer to have some GP Ryan win that job,

963
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 1: considering they spent a fourth round pick on him last year,

964
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,359
Speaker 1: But Kelly might turn out to the better option. You're

965
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: right now, I'm remaining completely open minded about the whole

966
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: thing because I don't think there's a clear cut starter

967
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: of those two. I think it's gonna be a competition

968
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,800
Speaker 1: over the next couple of games for them. Meanwhile, Chris Thompson,

969
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: my concerns with him come down to a psychological thing.

970
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: My wife, she's a nurse, and I've done I've had

971
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 1: a bad I've had back surgery before, and I talked

972
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: to her about the psychological portion of like returning from injuries.

973
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 1: And Chris Thompson seems like he's a person still dealing

974
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 1: with a lot of issues mentally. He says that he's

975
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: worried about when he cuts his you know, something that

976
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: to happen if the defender falls on his life the

977
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: wrong way. Is it going to break it again? So

978
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: there's some and he's also mentioned that doctors tell him

979
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,799
Speaker 1: he won't be a hundred percent until November. One fun

980
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:58,800
Speaker 1: fact I have for you, I posted it in my

981
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 1: AD Two interesting facts from two Dolph seventeen. There have

982
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 1: been two hundred and sixty five running backs who totally

983
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:08,800
Speaker 1: at least one touches over the last five years. Alvin

984
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: Tamaro was number one in terms of Fantasy points per

985
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,720
Speaker 1: touch over a season. Chris Thompson in two thousand seventeen

986
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 1: was the number two running backs in points per touch,

987
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 1: so his efficiency was almost undervalued in seventeen. But I

988
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 1: have my concerns about his life though, talking about each

989
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 1: air from Fantasy pros. When I looked at the wide receivers,

990
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:33,280
Speaker 1: the thing that that blew me away, Uh no bust

991
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:36,399
Speaker 1: games for DeAndre Hopkins, I don't even have a question.

992
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 1: I'm just amazed just without the volume that he got

993
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: in the the rotating door. You know, he's had a

994
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 1: quarterback and stuff like the fact that he that he

995
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: was so good so consistently is just is just phenomenal

996
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: to me. Um. Yeah, but the big question for me

997
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: when it comes to wide receivers. Have we gone too

998
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: far with the the Julio Jones hate. I mean, the

999
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 1: guys slipped to the second round. Everybody saw thing about

1000
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 1: his lack of consistency, but cording to near numbers, I mean,

1001
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 1: it just it seems like last year was sort of

1002
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,800
Speaker 1: an anomaly and everything else kind of has been you know,

1003
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 1: he's been Julio. Yeah. I made it a point too,

1004
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,280
Speaker 1: because in these articles I only post last year's stats,

1005
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: but with some players I feel the need to show

1006
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 1: you their career and what they've done. Julio had a

1007
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 1: very down year in two dollars and seventeen, but if

1008
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,760
Speaker 1: you look at it in relation to his career averages,

1009
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: he's far from a boomer bust player that people who

1010
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 1: have kind of labeled him as. I mean, I just

1011
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: think people are sitting their expectations weigh too high because

1012
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 1: fast year dollars eleven. Now I have this data, I've

1013
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,439
Speaker 1: been kind of going through it over players careers since

1014
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: two dollars eleven. The only players with a higher wide

1015
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: receiver too or better percentage in the NFL are Adel

1016
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 1: Beckham Jr. Michael Thomas, and Antonio Brown. Those are also

1017
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 1: the only players with a lower bus rate than Julio Jones.

1018
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 1: So the next time someone tells you that Julio Jones

1019
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 1: is too Boomer bust, it's not true at all. It's

1020
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 1: really not. He's just it's just the expectations, you know,

1021
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: because he's so if you worked to prototype a wide

1022
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:00,840
Speaker 1: receiver and say I'm gonna build a wide receiver in

1023
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,839
Speaker 1: my mind or and maddenes, you would build Julio Jones

1024
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: like the guy is a prototype. If he had scored

1025
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: more touchdown last year, I believe there maybe he helps

1026
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:14,919
Speaker 1: the like be a detractor always Julio Jones, and maybe

1027
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: you get some more red zone targets, introduces me a team.

1028
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: But out yeah Jones at the end of the first round,

1029
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 1: beginning of the second I consider that a steel I

1030
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 1: just I think he may have fallen victim to his

1031
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:27,839
Speaker 1: own success. Mean, eighteen hundred yards and eight touchdowns back

1032
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 1: in its just yeah, it just seems like it's it's

1033
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 1: hard to to maintain that um tight ends the last

1034
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 1: thing about about boomer bust. You know, we know Gronk,

1035
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 1: we know Kelsey are gonna be fine, but looking at

1036
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:42,359
Speaker 1: kind of the bust rates of some of the rest

1037
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: of these tight ends. I mean, I know this is

1038
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: gonna be an overreactual, but it almost makes sense to

1039
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 1: just stream the position unless you're getting Bronk or Kelsey. Right. Yeah.

1040
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: That's the thing is like when you look at it,

1041
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,359
Speaker 1: like the percentages, like you can see a clear cut

1042
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: tire among the top three between Gronk, Kelsey and zach Ertz,

1043
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 1: where they posted top twelve percent edges at least seventy

1044
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 1: percent of the time. There was nobody else that even

1045
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 1: gets close to that territory. I mean, nobody else was

1046
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: over fifty six. So you know, Grunt House, Grunts all

1047
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 1: belong in that top tier. But the thing that separates

1048
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: Grunt and Kelsey for me, and the reason that I

1049
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: don't think Earth should be considered in that tire, is

1050
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 1: that last year, Trunk and Kelsey accounted for eleven of

1051
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 1: the thirty two games in which the tight end crack

1052
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,280
Speaker 1: pr point. All right, think about this for a second,

1053
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:29,359
Speaker 1: a massive that's almost thirty five percent of the best

1054
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 1: performances for tight end last year team from two players

1055
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 1: who also missed the combined three games. On top of that,

1056
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 1: they also posted the lowest bust rate among tight ends,

1057
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 1: as just five of their combined twenty nine games that

1058
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: have less than seven PPR points. So what you're paying

1059
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,800
Speaker 1: for with those guys that they don't bust very often?

1060
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's anywhere in that you know, fifteen

1061
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 1: percent range, But you're paying for the boom factor like

1062
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 1: that twenty point performance, because no other tight ends do

1063
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 1: that more than once or twice a year. These guys

1064
00:47:57,719 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 1: are doing it. You know, last year it was thirty

1065
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,359
Speaker 1: three and four each three percent. So I would pay

1066
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 1: for those two. But Urt, despite him having like a

1067
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 1: career year last year, he only had one game over

1068
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 1: twenty PPR points, So I would not pay for him

1069
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 1: in that tier. He's someone that falls into, you know,

1070
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: like the middle late third round, and it's like, I

1071
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 1: guess you consider him. But Grunk and Kelsey definitely belong

1072
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:19,840
Speaker 1: in that two three times all right now, before I

1073
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 1: let you go, I always ask my guests there there

1074
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 1: pick up pop the thing in pop culture that is

1075
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 1: current that they feel like everybody needs to check out.

1076
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 1: What what are you? What are you digging on right now? Oh?

1077
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,439
Speaker 1: I want to do something. This is a neat question

1078
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 1: because like I am, I'm so far behind on pop culture.

1079
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 1: But sometimes like I fall into things right because I

1080
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 1: don't listen to the radio anymore, but I listen to

1081
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 1: podcasts and Spotify. Spotify introduced me to n F, Like

1082
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: you know, we talked about the NFL, Sigling, the l

1083
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: n F. UM. He's such a talented storyteller and he

1084
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: and he doesn't swear in any of his songs, which

1085
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 1: a huge plus for someone like me who has kids. Um,

1086
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 1: I didn't. I had never heard of them until like,

1087
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, eight months, six or eight months ago,

1088
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 1: and I came across the song and ever since then,

1089
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 1: I've been a massive fan. And I feel like he's

1090
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 1: the kids just gonna keep blowing up, and I feel

1091
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 1: like I'm on the ground level, I guess because he

1092
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 1: hasn't he's not huge yet. But have you heard of

1093
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 1: n F. I have not, So you have introduced me

1094
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 1: to something new. Yes, he's uh, he's extremely talented. Um,

1095
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of similarities with him and Eminem

1096
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 1: where they grew up in Detroit and all this stuff.

1097
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,720
Speaker 1: But he's uh. People have said, are you a Christian rapper?

1098
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 1: And he's like, well, I'm Christian, I'm a rapper, But

1099
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 1: I don't label myself as a Christian rapper. Um, but

1100
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 1: it's so talented. Like I said, he's a storyteller and uh,

1101
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 1: you can just listen and hear and tell you a

1102
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 1: story through lyrics. But it's definitely something to check out. Cool, fantastic.

1103
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 1: Oh by the way, Mike, you and I are going

1124
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:32,840
Speaker 1: What a little thing I'm calling it the lineup. We

1125
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: kind of do our top five, our own little personal

1126
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 1: rankings of things. I was gonna call it, you know,

1127
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,359
Speaker 1: rank this, but I feel like when Adam Rank comes back,

1128
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 1: you might ask me for royalties, So I changed the name. Um,

1129
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 1: did you see this Gridiron burger thing that these Cardinals

1130
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:48,320
Speaker 1: put out? Trash? Okay, for anybody who doesn't know, the

1131
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals have a burger you can buy seventy five

1132
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:55,800
Speaker 1: dollars at their stadium. It is five one third pound

1133
00:50:55,840 --> 00:51:01,359
Speaker 1: burger patties, five all be hot dogs, five broughts, tent

1134
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:08,400
Speaker 1: slices of American, eight slices of bacon, and eight chicken tinders.

1135
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: That's that's They should call it the show Off Burger

1136
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:12,759
Speaker 1: because it say, hey, look at me, burger, look at

1137
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,800
Speaker 1: look at me, everybody. I'm coming back stand with this

1138
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 1: giant burger that no one can even eat. I mean,

1139
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 1: how can you take a bite out of that? Ian Rappaport.

1140
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 1: They gave him one, uh during I t C like

1141
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:25,360
Speaker 1: a week ago, and first off, the thing is larger

1142
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 1: than his head. That's what I'm saying. Man, it's too much.

1143
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 1: That's too much. And I've always like Baseball is known

1144
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: from this kind of stuff, right, Baseball stadiums have these

1145
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 1: ridiculous food items and stuff that that I think you're

1146
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 1: trying to kill their fans. I feel like football said,

1147
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 1: you know what, let's get in the game. Let's get in.

1148
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:43,360
Speaker 1: We can't jump. We got it up in this. So

1149
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:49,839
Speaker 1: because of that, I want your list of your top

1150
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 1: five stadium food It can be specific, it can be

1151
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:54,320
Speaker 1: like if you want to say, you know, Dodger dogs

1152
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 1: or whatever else. You can do specific, but I want

1153
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:59,160
Speaker 1: and give me that drum loop because I want your

1154
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: top five stadium foods. Hold on a second, I thought

1155
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:05,279
Speaker 1: it's gonna be like a drunk roll and give it

1156
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:07,880
Speaker 1: like a quest of nice little one too in the

1157
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 1: high hat um. You know, I'm more super Dodger dogs

1158
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 1: as opposed to Dodger dogs. But when it comes to specificities.

1159
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 1: I will go super dodging and you know I do it.

1160
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:22,879
Speaker 1: The top five have to be in and it could

1161
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:26,279
Speaker 1: be a nonund well, I'll go super dodger dogs bill

1162
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: those out there. I will also throw out the the

1163
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 1: bronts at UK. But that's what's the name of that

1164
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 1: sting like that, right? J. G. Wentworth had a structure settler,

1165
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,879
Speaker 1: but I need cash. Now they have the brots there.

1166
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 1: You get a spicy mustard and the brilled onions. And

1167
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 1: also they have a bag of chur rose. Oh and

1168
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if they still have them, but if

1169
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 1: we could get in that DeLorean and go back to

1170
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:58,319
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, early two thousands they had

1171
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:02,400
Speaker 1: a bag of like it was eight short churros and

1172
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 1: if you were to add them up, they would be like,

1173
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:07,320
Speaker 1: you know, like three ft long, and they were the

1174
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:09,759
Speaker 1: same price as the one foot long cerro. And I'm like,

1175
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,240
Speaker 1: people clearly not seeing me. Just do the math, alright,

1176
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 1: just add those tcharros up. So Dodger dog, the bronze

1177
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:21,320
Speaker 1: at the cell the arrows at the cell um. I

1178
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: can go funnel cake. That's good. Calls are always good.

1179
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 1: That's always if you really feel indulgent number. When I

1180
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 1: go to a Didgers game, you don't get here in

1181

Speaker 1: of peanuts, an adult beverage, negromodel or shocked up preferably right.

1183
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:43,360

1230
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:01,359
Speaker 1: hot dogs and uh you know, I'll try. Someone has

1231
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 1: created a food empire in this town with basically a

1232
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 1: shopping cart, baking sheet, and some cans of stern. Oh

1233
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:10,240

Speaker 1: always and you can't eat it with your hands, you

1236
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 1: can't really like it takes away from the crispiness of

1237
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 1: the French fries. That's too much stuff. But I like

1238

1239
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:31,560

Speaker 1: something I want to associated with us. And I think

1241
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:35,640

1242
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:40,240
Speaker 1: like it's it's a poor description, but like softer maybe

1243
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:44,360
Speaker 1: like not not non crispy, right, so, but yeah, I

1244
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,239
Speaker 1: don't know. It all goes back to the bacon wrapt me.
