1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 1: The volume What is going on Everybody, John Middlecock three

2
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: and out podcast. Hopefully you guys are all doing well

3
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: out there in the real world. Today we will talk

4
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: some football. We're gonna do a big mail bag today.

5
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: The majority of the podcast at John Middlecoff at John

6
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: Middlecoff is the Instagram obviously questions on the Belichick situation.

7
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,959
Speaker 1: This is taken the nation by storm Bill, who has

8
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: a lot of supporters out there in the world, fans

9
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: his former quarterback, his former owner Jimmy Johnson is pissed,

10
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: so some of you guys asked me questions about that.

11
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: We'll piggyback on what we talked about yesterday. We'll probably

12
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: start with the Browns hired a coach. I don't want

13
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: to say we didn't see it coming because he was

14
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: one of the finalists. But some quick thoughts there and

15
00:00:58,640 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: other than that, just a lot of mail bag at

16
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: your middle coough fire in those d ms h in

17
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: my Instagram. Just two f's even my a good buddy

18
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: of mine actually invited me to his wedding, which he

19
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: should have I he was in my wedding. He's one

20
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: of my best friends. But he uh, he spelled my

21
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: name with one F. So we just still keeps a

22
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: little chip on your shoulder. It's got two f's, and

23
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: that that will be the game plan today. So if

Speaker 1: are all on Netflix. Our partners who actually sent me

28
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: a nice little care package for my little man Jack,

29
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: nice blanket, nice some toys or like stuffy toys type

30
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: things so that they are ingratiating themselves quickly in the middle.

31
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: Cough household just just banged out his and hers on Netflix.

32
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: Too pretty good to watch, pretty pretty entertaining, uh, very

33
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: bingeable for sure, easy watch. And other than that, we'll

34
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: just we'll talk some ball and well, uh, let's let's

35
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: start with the situation, which I don't really have many thoughts. Besides,

36
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 1: someone asked me yesterday on a mail bag question if

37
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: teams do bridge coaches like bridge quarterbacks, and I do

38
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: think that Todd Munkin would fall under that a little bit.

39
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: He's basically sixty years old, he's been a head coach

40
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: in college, but longtime coordinator. I don't think he was

41
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: getting a job anywhere else. It does feel like Bushati

42
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: was firing Harbad no matter what. But there were some

43
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: initial conversations that he were going to refuse to fire

44
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: him if that was going to enable him to keep

45
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: his job, like be loyal to his coordinator. But this

46
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: does feel a little bit Bridgie. You know, the top

47
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,119
Speaker 1: guys were not interested in the job. Obviously, the process

48
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: of forcing guys to write essays in a vocation that

49
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: doesn't rely on you to write essays to do your gig,

50
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: I didn't quite understand that. I think the Browns reviewed

51
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: as pretty toxic, and let's face they're not alone. Anyone

52
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: want the cardinal job. So I think that situation is,

53
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: let's just keep our head above water for a couple

54
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: of years, hopefully kind of restock this roster, find a quarterback,

55
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: and then kind of turn it over a little bit

56
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: like Casario. Did you know The ironic part is both

57
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: these two teams had Deshaun Watson the stink of that,

58
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 1: and there's a chance that he's still around because they're

59
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: just stuck with that contract. So the Casario had to

60
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: hire Cully Lovey Smith and then finally got Demiko and

61
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: maybe the Browns kind of have a mindset to do

62
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: something like that. The differences is, I just think as

63
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: long as they are kind of operating their coaching search

64
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: the way they do, no one's touching it. It feels

65
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: like more likely they're trying to hire a a university

66
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: president than they are a football coach. And I'm not

67
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: trying to just bag on him because I think that's

68
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: the easiest thing to do. But you know, I Todd Munkin,

69
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: why not just hire Jim Schwartz, who you players already liked,

70
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: You already knew, you clearly kind of liked. And now

71
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: I think with Jim Schwartz, you know Kyle Shanahan, he's

72
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: dominated him over the years. You know, I know there

73
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: have been some talk about making Gus Bradley the candidate

74
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: just because he worked for the staff. I would hire

75
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz. If I'm Kyle Shanahan to replace Robert Saal,

76
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: I'm hiring Jim Schwartz. I'm making him my defensive coordinator

77
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: by the end of the day yesterday. So once he

78
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: becomes available to me, keep an eye on that because

79
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: I think Kyle Shanahan will go heavy, heavy on him,

80
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: and then maybe Gus Bradley just follows solo and becomes

81
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: his pseudo defensive coordinator, assuming that Saala is calling defense,

82
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: which who knows. I haven't seen the press conference yet,

83
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: but we'll dive into some questions now. A lot of

84
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: questions about Bill, I'm sure, And there's a couple right

85
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: off the bat. I talked about Shador yes day. The

86
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, the Pro Bowl hasn't mattered in a long time.

87
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: So anyone asking me about the the importance or its credibility,

88
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: like its credibility died years ago. The Pro Bowl died

89
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: the moment they stopped tackling, which I always understood. But

90
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: to me, what I'm here to say is schd or

91
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: Anders making the Pro Bowl and now Belichick not being

92
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: the first bout Hall of Fame? What are we doing?

93
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: How embarrassing for the NFL? The two are not that

94
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: they're not connected at all. The Pro Ball is a joke.

95
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: The Hall of Fame should not be. And another question

96
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: on Belichick came up short. Bill Belichick came up short

97
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: on votes to be a first bout Hall of Famer.

98
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: Are you familiar with the criteria needed to vote on

99
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame? Is a drug? Test one of them.

100
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: Here's what I think. Bill Pollion, who originally was called

101
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: you know, there was a story written that Bill Pollion

102
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: led the charge that Bill Belichick had to pay a price,

103
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: that he was not going to be a first bout

104
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer because of two thousand and seven. Obviously

105
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: Poleon got rules changed. Is the way he defended the

106
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. Hates Bill mortal, enemies with Bill. And for

107
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: those of you that don't know when I got in

108
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: the NFL, Pollion, this was like twenty ten, already had

109
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl with the Colts, had been to

110
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: a bunch of the Bills, was one of the most

111
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: famous gms in the history of the league. Besides like

112
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: Al Davis and Jerry Jones. He would be right up

113
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: there with like Ron Wolf. He was viewed internally in

114
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: the league a lot like Bill, an angry, curmudgeon, asshole.

115
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: And I say that with respect, Like I've grew up

116
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: around a lot of kind of old school My dad

117
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: was born in the forties. He grew up a lot

118
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: round or he was, you know, around in his business

119
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: farming a lot of old school assholes. And Bill Belichick

120
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: and Polean would fall under that category, and I'm saying

121
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: that with reverence of that human being that doesn't exist

122
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: as much anymore. And historically and a lot of businesses

123
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: you kind of had to be like that, or people

124
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: thought they had to be like that, or they were

125
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: just raised like that. And Belichick and Poleon have a

126
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: lot more in common than I think either one would

127
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,679
Speaker 1: say about the other. You know, Poleon was not easy

128
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: to work for. It was not like a fun, happy place,

129
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: you know. The Green Bay Packers was always an organization

130
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: at least what I was around football a lot in

131
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: terms of working in the business, like with Ted Thompson,

132
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: that just seemed like a great place to work for.

133
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: That became the Chiefs with Andy and Veach, like that's

134
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: just a place where people want to work. That was Napoleon.

135
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: It would be good for your career, but it was dark, edgy,

136
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: miserable place, a lot like New England. I've known a

137
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: lot of people that played and worked in New England

138
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: as scouts, as some assistant coaches. It's not a happy place.

139
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: It ain't a fun fucking environment. Most people would say

140
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: it's completely miserable. Now it changes your life saying, hey,

141
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: I work with Poleon and Peyton Manning. I work with

142
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: Belichick and Brady. You went like a rocket ship, but

143
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: you had to have thick skin and the ability to grind,

144
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: and there weren't many smiles in that in that organization,

145
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: in that operation. So to me, Bill Poleon hating Bill like, okay, yeah,

146
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: I'm not a huge like. I don't have that many

147
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: mortal enemies. There were some people in my younger days,

148
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: I guess you would consider I hate it, but as

149
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: you get older, like I'm not really wired like like

150
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: Dave Portinoy. Some people are just wired that way and

151
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: it keeps them going. I'm not. I can't kind of

152
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: wallow in misery. I don't function at a high level

153
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: when I'm like that. I'm much more I'm better off

154
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: when I'm a little more optimistic. I would say Pollyon

155
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: and Belichick are not. So I don't blame Poleon for

156
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: hating Bill Belichick. You're allowed to do that. He ain't

157
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: the first and he won't be the last guy to

158
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: despise another individual in his industry who's gotten the better

159
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: of him in a world is competitive, but the other

160
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: people for him to convince, you know, I don't know

161
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 1: the criteria Obviously there are a lot of you know,

162
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: media writers. For them to agree with him is an embarrassment.

163
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: So Bill Pollian, who clearly lied to the guy at

164
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: Sports Illustrated that he tweeted out like I talked to him,

165
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: he said he voted for him, and then like Wickersham

166
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: and the ESPN guy's followed up, He's like, I think

167
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: I voted for him. It's like, bro, are you like

168
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: a ten year old? Any guy could be like, that's

169
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: a lie. It's like you know when your parents are

170
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: on you when you're young and you kind of get

171
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: caught like I think I did it. No, you know

172
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: exactly what you did and you didn'tvote for him, which, listen,

173
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: that's on you. But for the other people to fall

174
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: suit that the sheep herd mentality is an embarrassment for

175
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: the league. And I think it's pretty rare where everyone

176
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: players in the league, former players, Jimmy Johnson, I was

177
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: at the gym earlier today. I saw he's all McAfee

178
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: and Colin just he's pissed because Jimmy is boys with Bill.

179
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: Because it's an embarrassment for football. If Bill Belichick is

180
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: in the first ballot Hall of Fame, or just shut

181
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: down the fucking Hall of Fame. Just shut it down.

182
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: But we can hate him, we can say stealing signs.

183
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: When I was a pro scout in the early twenty tens,

184
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: people were stealing signs like signed out. Did he take

185
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: it to another level with the guy on the ground floor. Yeah,

186
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: but it's like, welcome to competitive industries. People are always

187
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: pushing the envelope. As Peter Goober says that Ethan Strauss,

188
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 1: my guy on substack, one of the best substackers, quotes

189
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: them all the time. There are no rules, but break

190
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: them at your own peril. And I think that's the

191
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: way it most industries where there's a lot on the

192
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: line and a lot of competition, operate. And Bill pushed

193
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 1: the envelope, right, He pushed the envelope and he got caught.

194
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: But didn't this team rat al off a bunch of

195
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 1: victories after that happened and make it the Super Bowl

196
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 1: and beat the shit out of everybody. We all watch anyone

197
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: that is I would say thirty five, forty or older

198
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: that watched the majority of the games of the Bill

199
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: Brady Dynasty, especially the big ones which were all primetime games.

200
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: He's the best coach I've ever seen, and I worked

201
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: for Andy Reid, who I would put right there behind him,

202
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: but it is it's hard to dispute, like he needed

203
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: to win with Brady Well. Andy, be the first tell

204
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 1: you I won a lot more with Patrick than I

205
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: did with Alex and McNabb. You know, Bill waltsh doesn't

206
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: exist without a guy named Joe Montana. I hate this, like,

207
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: well he had Brady Well. It's like Google, Phil Jackson said,

208
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: Michael and Kobe, Like most great coaches have great players.

209
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: It's pretty rare. It's like, you know, Eric Spolster is

210
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: a great coach, won a lot more with Lebron and

211
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: d Wade then he'd with this crew of characters. So

212
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: it's like, you gotta be a great coach. You're gonna

213
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: Joe Torry won a lot with Hall of AMers, you know.

214
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it comes with the territory. So there's no

215
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: way around it than just universal disdain. Now for this process,

216
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: I've thought for a long time that I think we

217
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: have diluted the people in the Hall of Fame from

218
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: players and some of these coaches that got in that

219
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: I no longer look at it the same. But after

220
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: this moment. I mean it's it's not quite the Pro

221
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: Bowl level. I mean the Pro Bowl guys just quit.

222
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: This does feel like I don't take it seriously anymore.

223
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: Like I'm also not a huge awards guy. I never

224
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: have been. I saw the Golden Globes did like a

225
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 1: Best Podcast award. Joe Rogan wasn't even on it. It's like, guys,

226
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: you don't need to like him, but there is no

227
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: disputing he's a fucking king right now. Right Taylor Sheridan,

228
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: who's got all the biggest television shows that did Paramount

229
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: just give him, or Warrener Brothers whoever just gave him

230
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 1: a billion dollars to write shows for He's the king

231
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: of t right now. None of his shows were up

232
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 1: for awards. It's like, guys, but I'm not like awards.

233
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: I saw Big Cat raining about this about podcasts, Like

234
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: part of podcast is there's a little counterculture, like this

235
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: is not mainstream legacy media, right, So it's like, yeah,

236
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 1: we don't want awards. Who cares about it? Ward they're meaningless.

237
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: Whenever I see someone being interviewed with like an Emmy

238
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: in the background, It's like, guys, no one cares Coward's

239
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: been on this ran forever. It's typically people inside baseball

240
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 1: voting on these things, whether it's Hollywood, whether it's football,

241
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 1: And there are certain people like Brady Manning. You can't

242
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: if you have to think about it for Hall of Fame.

243
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: To me, you're not in it. And that's why I've

244
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: always been like the Deon Sanders, the Barry Sanders, the

245
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: Lawrence Taylors, the Tom Brady's, the Peyton Mannings, the Aaron Rodgers,

246
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 1: the Bill Belichick's, the Bill Walshes, Andy Reeves. No one

247
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 1: thinks about you make It's like who's the best golf

248
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods? You know what I'm saying. Michael Jordan, you

249
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: know thinks there are certain It's like, well, I think

250
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: this guy's resume that there is no resume. With Bill,

251
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: he's in, but for these idiots, he's clearly not. And

252
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: I think it's done a lot of harm to the

253
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame that I can no longer look at

254
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: the same. Speaking of coaches, Mike McCarthy, why does everyone

255
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: shit on Mike McCarthy, yet John Harbaugh is treated like

256
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: the savior. If you compare resumes, it's pretty similar. One

257
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: Super Bowl piece coach. Good quarterbacks like Rogers and Lamar

258
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: in their primes lost to playoff games they probably should

259
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: have won. I just don't understand why he's talked about

260
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: like he's under the bridge troll. I've been saying this

261
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: for a while, man, I really have. He has a

262
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: branding issue. His resume is the same as Tomlin and Harball.

263
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: It really is. And you could argue in twenty twenty

264
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: six his skill is more important than their skills because

265
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: the one thing, and I had a buddy that he's

266
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: on a different staff now but kind of got into

267
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: the NFL. He'd been a longtime college coach and was

268
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: on the Ravens for a couple of years. Two things

269
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 1: he always told me, and this is like in the

270
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: peak of their powers with Mike McDonald Lamar winning MVPs.

271
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: He called Mike McDonald the boy genius he's He loved

272
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. This was an offensive coach, and he loved

273
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: John Harball. He said, John Harbaugh's ability to rally the

274
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: team the team meetings was just second to none. It

275
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: was elite, and Tomlin obviously falls under that category. So

276
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: their ability to lead the group is just top notch.

277
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: Ten out of ten right, and like there's no one

278
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: even bringing like that's that's their defining skill, rally the

279
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: troops into battle. Mike's skill really is coaching the quarterbacks,

280
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: coaching the offense, which never has mattered. More like some

281
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: of like Sean mcvay's a great leader, but like, how

282
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: many is some of these offensive guys like is Kyle

283
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: Shanahan or Lafleur or Kevin O'Connell viewed as like Vince Lombardi. No,

284
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: there's good offensive minds, and Mike McCarthy is too, but

285
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: he has this branding issue that he's I listen, I

286
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: don't agree with this, but people it's like people think

287
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: he's dumb. Clearly he's really overweight, which I was. I'm

288
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: no one to judge. My weight fluctuates on about an

289
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: eighteen hour fast. Right now, I'm starving, but I just

290
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: don't want to be a fat ass anymore. And like

291
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: you watch him in that press conversation's big And that's

292
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: the one thing like John Harbaugh's great shape at sixty three,

293
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: Tomlin's kind of looked Toma's throwing a little weight over

294
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: the years, but he's kind of looked the same for

295
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like a decade plus, macarthy's

296
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: got gotten bigger as he's gotten older, which is weird.

297
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: Like Andy, I don't know. Andy's known as a genius

298
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: and McCarthy's known as dumb. And there's a branding issue,

299
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: which I disagree with because I'm with you. I don't

300
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: think there's any difference. If you tell me in a

301
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: couple of years the Steelers are good and they found

302
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: a quarterback, I would not I would be like, yeah,

303
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: I could see that. Now. I don't think Harbor. I

304
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: think Harbor and the Giants are gonna be good too.

305
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: Like Harbor's good, Tomlin's good, like Mike McCarthy's good. But

306
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: those three, like two of them get talked about like

307
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: equals Tomlin and John. And then there's Mike. He's talked

308
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: about in a weird way like he's Freddie Kitchens or

309
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: Jim tom Sulla, which I think he'd tell you. Well,

310
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: Jerry and the Rooney don't believe that because they've hired me.

311
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: I've coached the Packers, the Steelers and the Cowboys, so yeah,

312
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: you can think Liam Cohens some genius. He's got to

313
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: coach the Jacks. I'm coaching the Steelers, which have probably

314
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: in the league. There's definitely not five teams in the

315
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: league with a more fans, and I mean actual humans

316
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: that root for your team. They're probably a top three

317
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: fan base. I don't mean passion stuff, which obviously their passion.

318
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: I just mean actual people. Their fan base is huge,

319
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: So props to McCarthy. Today's show is brought to you

326
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: kind of big I think that pass rush is gonna

327
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: overwhelm the offensive line. Want this check some touchdown parlays.

328

Speaker 1: in Tennessee a secret play to try to hire you

349
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: back as the lead scout for the Titans. You know

350
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: I got married in Nashville, and uh, if life goes well,

351
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: we would we would love to have a little property

352
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: there one day. I love Nashville a little cold in

353
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: the winters for me, summers are actually pretty hot. But I

354
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: just there's something about you know. I grew up in Davis, California.

355
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 1: My dad was a farmer in the Sacramento area, which

356
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: is much more expanded now, but just a lot of land,

357
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: a lot of space. I mean, I didn't live on

358
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: a lot of land, but I'm just saying there was

359
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,360
Speaker 1: a lot of Like we I got drunk in high

360
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: school out on you know, acres of land on farmland.

361
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: It was you know, it used to be like a cowtown.

362
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: Now it's it's a little different now. It's actually kind

363
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: of become like Berkeley, more like hippieville. But I uh,

364
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: there's something special I think about Tennessee. Now, my this

365
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 1: is what I'm doing now. Those days are over. But

366
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,959
Speaker 1: I love it, I really do. And I'm a I'm

367
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: rooting for Robert Sala you know, day ball. I think

368
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: thrived as an offensive coordinator with Josh can do the

369
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: same with cam Ward. I think the jury's out on

370
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 1: cam a little bit. And I do think the jury's

371
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 1: out too on Sala as a head coach, like can

372
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:39,959
Speaker 1: he operate? Now? The the expectations going to Tennessee are

373
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 1: a little different in New York, which which helps a ton.

374
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: So I'm rooting for those guys. Borganzi, who my guys

375
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: in Kansas City love, seems like a high level guy.

376
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: I just that that owner is just people aren't a

377
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: huge fan. So we'll see. Can they overcome it. Time

378
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: will tell. But the end division's hard, but it's a

379
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: great place to live. Find me anyone that lives in

380
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 1: Nashville that doesn't like it. You'd be hard pressed because

381
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: it doesn't really exist. A question for the back Joe

382
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 1: Brady question mark the Bills hired Joe Brady, and I

383
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 1: can't help but wonder if a first time head coach

384
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: is the right move for Josh prime of his career,

385
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: and we're gonna go with a first time head coach.

386
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: I would have preferred someone like day Ball, who at

387
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: least has experience. It's pretty risky. It's pretty risky, but

388
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 1: sometimes in life you gotta take risks, and people have

389
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: done it before. I mean, I'm not saying he's gonna

390
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: be Steve Kerr, but Steve Kurr had never been a

391
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: coach when the Warriors hired him with Steph Curry and

392
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: Clay Thompson and Draymond Green, and it's the best thing

393
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: they've ever done because they started winning championships. So and

394
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: obviously Land and Kevin Durant, which he played a big

395
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: role in. He had never been a coach at any level.

396
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: And you know this is not apples to apples, but

397
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: Sean McVay was hired at thirty. Do you think the

398
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: Rams regretted that? And it's not like he had just

399
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: come off a season the Commanders, they were the Redskins

400
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,239
Speaker 1: the time, didn't even make the playoffs. So you never know.

401
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: That's the hard part about coaching. It's a little like

402
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: the draft. There's gonna be someone this year draft in

403
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: like the third round that in two years will be like,

404
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: so I got the best player in the league. It

405
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 1: happened with the Rams and Pookinnico. When when the Rams

406
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: drafted Pokin Nkua, there is not a soul that follows

407
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: college football that went like, this guy's gonna be like

408
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 1: Jerry Rice right, and then a couple of years later

409
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: he's the best wide receiver in the league. Or one

410
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: of them. So it happens all the time with coaches.

411
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: I saw. I looked up this morning and McAfee it's

412
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: on like the main TV at the gym, put all

413
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: the pictures of the different coaches that have been hired,

414
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: and it happens all the time. Is there're gonna be

415
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: you know, some of these riders got to put out

416
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: like grade the coaching hires A C F B plus

417
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: no one knows. No one has any freaking clue. So

418
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 1: I just think that they felt comfortable with them. Josh

419
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 1: felt comfortable with them. Now the pressure is immense. I mean,

420
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: I would say none of these coaches. If you just

421
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: do a pressure rankings going into twenty twenty six, he

422
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: could be one. The pressure on Joe Brady to win

423
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: could be one. Think about that, FYI. I was about

424
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: to give up my Netflix podcast Loop because I couldn't

425
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: minimize the window and multitask on my phone. Then I

426
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: accidentally swipe sideways and it totally allows users to do that.

427
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 1: I've been saying this for a while. You can swipe

428
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: and it just goes up and you can just close

429
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 1: it and listen to it in your pocket. I did

430
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: it a couple weeks ago on the Spit and Chicklets

431
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: Tom Brady Interview. So it's it's consumer friendly. We like

432
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: putting podcasts on our phone, walking around doing stuff. I

433
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: do it all the time. You can do so you

434
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: can minimize it on Netflix like you can on the

435
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: other applications. God, I'm a great partner for the mailbag.

436
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: My wife is pregnant and having a planned C section.

437
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 1: On any tips for dads on what to expect, how

438
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: to help your wife beside the obvious things like being present,

439
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: handy and ready to help. Any pro tips or advice

440
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: on things of how to prepare for immediately, during and

441
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: after when getting back home. I would say, when you're there,

442
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,719
Speaker 1: you know, we pack snacks and bedding and stuff like that,

443
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,719
Speaker 1: which I'm sure you're doing. The doctor's run point on

444
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 1: the on the situation, you really don't do much. You

445
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 1: kind of stand there, You give support so that there's

446
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: not much advice to give beside that, and then once

447
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: the baby's out, they have to stitch your back and

448
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: you kind of get to hold the baby. It is

449
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on. It's you kind of got

450
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 1: you just got to hold it together. You got to

451
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: be strong, which is crazy when you watch how strong

452
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: they're being as their guts are cut open. It's intense.

453
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: And even when you're at the hospital, the nurses and

454
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: people are coming in every couple hours. So the amount

455
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: and the way my hospital works, I could walk right

456
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: down to kind of their little conference area if you

457
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: ever have questions, they'll come right down and help you out.

458
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: So the help you get in the first two days

459
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: is pretty insane. Now, make sure you know how to

460
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: use the car seat, the car seats led because when

461
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: you leave, they don't help you with that, so you

462
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 1: put the baby in the car seat and then you

463
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 1: just take off. So we were very lucky. My mother

464
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: in law stayed with us for like ten plus days

465
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: and it helped a lot. But it's it's pretty intense.

466
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 1: I mean you come home, it's just like it's on

467
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: you. You know. I'm two weeks in now it's become a

468
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: lot easier. My guy Jack, we call him the Jack attack.

469
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: It's when he goes that takes a shit or pisses,

470
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: and that happens a lot, but it gets a little easier.

471
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: The hardest part is you got to feed him every

472
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: couple hours for you know, months on end. So that

473
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,199
Speaker 1: you're sleep is just like you have to if you

474
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: feed him at eight o'clock at night, you gotta feed

475
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: him at eleven. Then you gotta feed him again at

476
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 1: two or three in the morning. So that to me

477
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 1: like he'll go to sleep. But it's just you do

478
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: have to wake them up usually change the diaper and

479
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: then and then feed them. But there's not much there's

480
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: not much advice to have besides just check in on her,

481
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 1: how she's doing. It's it's the emotions run high. You know,

482
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: the hormones are pretty crazy. Uh, you just gotta you know,

483
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: people tell you patience with the child. I would say

484
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: patience with her as well. You know this, it's it's

485
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: a pretty traumatic experience and then a come down on

486
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,479
Speaker 1: your body. So just try to be I mean, there

487
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,719
Speaker 1: are gonna be times and listen, I've had to really

488
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: kind of just take a deep breath. Be extra nice.

489
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: I would say that, be extra nice because they're they're

490
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: going through a lot, uh physically, hormonally and uh something

491
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: that you might normally argue about were human beings. Just

492
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 1: you let things go. Just just don't even just smile

493
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: on your face and keep chugging. That would probably be

494
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 1: my best advice. What do you think of Philip Rivers'

495
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 1: potential as a head coach seeing the success of Rabel,

496
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 1: I think Rivers could be a future head coach if

497
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: the Colts stiching doesn't work out, and maybe he knows that,

498
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: maybe he thinks that he will be the next head

499
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: coach Shavee Sikins's guy. I do wonder if he kind

500
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: of got win like, we're probably not gonna hire you.

501
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: I also wonder if there's a chance, I know his son.

502
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be a senior gunner Rivers, which

503
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: is an incredible name. Would he take an offensive coordinator job?

504
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 1: I mean offensive coordinator jobs pay millions of dollars, so

505
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 1: and I know Phillips made a lot of money, but

506
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 1: someone offers you three years, ten million dollars to be

507
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: their offensive coordinator. If Philip Rivers had a good season

508
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: as an offensive coordinator, he would interview every single place.

509
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: He would get hired immediately. My guess is Philip Rivers

510
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: is a head coach in the next five years, and

511
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: I would say there's a fifty to fifty chance if

512
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 1: it feels comfortable enough with a spot, wouldn't shock me

513
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 1: at all. If he became an NFL offensive coordinator, he

514
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: might be able to skip the step though, and become

515
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 1: a head coach, which I think he would be kind

516
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: of uniquely equipped to handle being the quarterback handling the

517
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 1: whole team calling the offense. It still would be challenge.

518
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: If he asked me for advice, I would just say,

519
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: I don't think if you feel comfortable with the spot,

520
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 1: I don't think doing the being an offensive coordinator for

521
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: a year one is twofold, Like do you really want

522
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: to do this at the NFL level? Like are you

523
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: cool with the You put in a lot of hours

524
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: as a player, there's a lot more hours as a coach.

525
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: So it's a really kind of a way to wet

526
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: your beak. See if like you're cool with doing that

527
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: with your family and cause, if you are, then just

528
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 1: go all in. You'll be a head coach. I think

529
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: he'd be good. If you told me Philip Rivers became

530
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: a head coach, my bet would on him be good

531
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: at the gig. What are your thoughts on Kopka coming

532
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: back to the PGA and do you think the plan

533
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: they have in place is to make former live guys

534
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: pay their way back on. I think it's great for

535
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: the game and expect more guys to come back. We

536
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: go low will probably start after the super Bowl. There's

537
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: a lot going on. Kepka's back. Patrick Reid just announced

538
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 1: to Heay he's coming back. They desperately want Bryson to

539
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: come back and Live. We did business with Live last

540
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: year and I went to it in person. It's really cool,

541
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: but I do like no one cares so they're playing.

542
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: All these guys got a ton of money, They made

543
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: a ton which they took a huge risk, and they

544
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: got shipped on for so I never had a problem

545
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: with like letting him back on. It's like, well, they

546
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: get to have their cake and eat it too. Well,

547
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: you could have too that they made a tough decision. Now,

548
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: some of the guys that sued the PGA tour, I

549
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: totally understand. But Kepka didn't, Patrick Reid didn't, Phil did.

550
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: Phil's never coming back. Dustin Johnson doesn't care. I was thinking,

551
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: Kepka's won nine times in his career, five of those

552
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: were majors, So it's not that you're not getting back

553
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: Dustin Johnson in this twenty career wins. This guy didn't

554
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: win that much. He famously said that he didn't really

555
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: care about regular events. But watch this press conference yesterday.

556
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: I do think becoming a dad, some of your priorities

557
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: obviously financially set. Now. I wonder if we get a

558
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: new version of him taking these events more seriously. Next week,

559
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: when I'm in San Francisco, waste management will be going

560
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: on in my backyard, so you can see TBC Scottsdale.

561
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: For those of you watching, He's won that event twice,

562
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: so two of his four wins in regular events have

563
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: come here. He's a bright lights guy. I would imagine

564
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: if he's playing well, which we'll find out this week,

565
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: and Tory he looks good to me. They get Bryson

566
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: coming back, lives over like it ends, and then Ron

567
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: eventually comes back. I think liv is clearly teetering a

568
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: little bit. There's no doubt about it, because at the

569
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: end of the day, the reason a lot of these

570
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: startup leagues in other sports. We've seen it happen in football,

571
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: you know, basketball, Lebron thought about going to Saudi Arabia. One.

572
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: Our attention spans have never been shorter, and it's hard

573
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: to get us into something if we don't think it matters,

574
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: and like why do PGA tournaments matter? Like why does

575
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: it matter playing at the players or the waste management?

576
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: Because there's history. Why does winning the second round of

577
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: the playoff for Josh Allen matter? Because we've watched a

578
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: million playoff games, we have context. When you just start

579
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: a league, it doesn't feel like it matters at all.

580
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: And I listen. I give Adam Silver credit for trying things,

581
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: but like it's hard for the casual consumer to take

582
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: the NBA Cup seriously because I go, why does this matter?

583
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: And no one can answer that. For me, it's like,

584
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: well they do it international soccer. Well how long have

585
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: they been doing those type cups? And I'm not a

586
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: soccer guy, but I would guess a long time. So

587
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: you could argue that you got to start somewhere. True,

588
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: but it's just difficult and this notion like golf's an

589
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: individual sport. I went to the Ryder Cup this year.

590
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: It was awesome. Kind of feels right to have it

591
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: like once or twice a year. No one cares about

592
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: the team. People want to watch individuals. I want to

593
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: watch Scotti Scheffler try to win every week. You following

594
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: the Big Jay's are saying about the Washington Post, there

595
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: cannot be that many people getting their sports news from

596
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: physical newspaper just complain to complain. Question is what percent

597
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: of sports news content comes from the written newspaper today.

598
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: I'm incredibly saddened about what is happening at the Washington Post.

599
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,479
Speaker 1: Going back to my time at the Baltimore Sun, I've

600
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: admired and advised the postwriters, and not just in sports

601
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: bezos destruction, Ken Rosenthal, I think one problem legacy media

602
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: has had is they've taken on some of them. I mean,

603
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people quote unquote legacy media,

604
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: and I think they're really good at their job, and

605
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: I consume them and I enjoy them. But I think

606
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: one fall of legacy media has been a self importance.

607
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: I ever not thought that like I do this, this,

608
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: none of this exists. If I don't, people don't like

609
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: me and find me entertaining and consume my product. The

610
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: most important part about my operation is the people listening,

611
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: and luckily we've grown dramatically as an audio podcast over

612
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: the last six seven years. Right, But like, without my consumer,

613
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: I'm nothing. So whether I was on the radio, whether

614
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: I'm a podcaster, whether whatever, I do like the consumer

615
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: has to come first and if they change, and I

616
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: have to try to adapt to them. And you know,

617
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: people got mad over the move to Netflix, but like,

618
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: I'm betting on at working and if it doesn't, will adapt.

619
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: But I'm I'm all in because I saw the vision.

620
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: I was sold, Like, Okay, how many people on Netflix?

621
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: Oh a lot? What percentage of people that are in

622
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: my audience? Oh? High number. So it's like it's about

623
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: them and newspapers. I'm a diard sports guy forty years old.

624
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: I grew up on newspapers. I haven't read a newspaper

625
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: beside the Wall Street Journal, which I pay for in

626
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: a decade plus, I pay for none of them. The

627
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: Athletic I pay for, which is technically owned by the

628
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: New York Times, but I don't view that as a newspaper.

629
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: So these people getting mad, like Ken Rosenthal, it's like bro.

630
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: Newspapers didn't die yesterday when Bezos cut out the sports section.

631
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: They died ten fifteen years ago. Remember when everyone in

632
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: the media got really mad, like in the mid twenty tens,

633
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: when it's like we're going to video and they're like, no,

634
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: we're going where the consumer is because We're in the

635
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: business of the consumer, not of your content. The content

636
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: matters because people will consume. I read newspapers in college

637
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: in two thousand and four because that's the only place

638
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,959
Speaker 1: I could get my information. Now I have choices, and

639
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: I choose not to read them. So the consumer killed them,

640
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: not Jeff Bezos. And I've never read the Washington Post

641
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: in my life, but just because it's not like I've

642
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: ever lived there. I didn't care about the teams. But

643
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 1: when I see reactions like that, I go, you're getting

644
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: mad at the wrong guy. The person that killed the

645
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: sports section was not Jeff Bezos. It was John Middlcoff

646
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:21,760
Speaker 1: that lives in Washington, DC, or grew up in Washington,

647
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: d C. And now lives in Texas, that read the

648
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: Washington Post the first twenty five years of his life

649
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 1: and now doesn't because one he doesn't think the product's

650
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 1: any good and two he's got a million other options.

651
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: He consumes other stuff. The consumer changed and you didn't

652
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 1: adapt fast enough, and you got obliterated. Welcome to the

653
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: real world. What happened to Blockbuster? You ever heard the

654
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: story of Netflix trying to sell to Blockbuster? And they

655
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: laughed at him. How'd that work out? Newspapers had a

656
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: head start. They have the consumer, and they got fat happy.

657
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: And let's face it, a lot of people, a lot

658
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 1: of people in the media world don't understand business and

659
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: in a weird way, resent it. If you resent business,

660
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 1: and honestly, if you resent money, you're probably not gonna

661
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: make it. I believe that to my soul. And I

662
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: think when you resent it, you resent the way the

663
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: world works, which is he gotta think about the consumer.

664
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: I just read this article the other day. I had

665
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: a buddy named Scotty that works in southern California and

666
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: he's now working for a big bank down there, but

667
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: he loves golf. And he was caddying a little at

668
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: the side at this huge country club in Newport Beach

669
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 1: and he caddied for this guy. He's like, I just

670
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: caddied for the CEO of Chipotle. He's like, here's what

671
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: I would say about him, spent eighteen holes with him

672
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 1: carrying his bag. I would bet on that guy. He

673
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,399
Speaker 1: was just blew me away. And then like a year later,

674
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: the guy gets hired at Starbucks and I'm reading this

675
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: article about Starbucks how he's attempting to change all these things,

676
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: and who knows if it'll work. But it's like he

677
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: had to adapt because Starbucks was getting crushed and it

678
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: still kind of is. I mean, they were overpriced, but

679
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: he's making subtle changes. There's a long article in the

680
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal about it, and it's like, if you

681
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: don't adapt and then you complain about it, like you're

682
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 1: a fucking loser. I hate people to just we all complain,

683
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 1: we're human beings. But if you just complain over and

684
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,800
Speaker 1: if you complain about something today January twenty eight, twenty

685
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: twenty six, and you're complaining about the same thing five

686
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 1: years later, like that's a U problem. And it feels

687
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: like these newspaper guys have been complaining about this shit

688
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: for a decade plus. It's like, guys, move on adapt,

689
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: Ken Roosevelt, you're on TV now? Why because you're written

690
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: world became irrelevant? What are we talking about? As someone

691
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: that grew up on sports sections, I'm embarrassed for these guys,

692
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: but honestly not shocked because most of them don't get it.

693
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: The ones that did pivoted No Problem, pivoted No problem,

694
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:48,399
Speaker 1: have have substacks or wrote for different startups or got

695
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: into the audio. You know, who know, people, what are

696
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: you gonna be doing five years? I don't know. The

697
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 1: world changes rapidly now, and if I got to adapt,

698
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: I gotta adapt or else this thing will die. It's

699
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: really that simple. I've invested. This is my baby, this

700
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: is my life, this is my profession. This is the

701
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 1: only company that I have ownership in, is my own podcast.

702
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: You know. Besides, like some stocks and uh, I have

703
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 1: to do whatever it takes to make it survive. Not

704
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 1: gonna be right on every decision, but I will never

705
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 1: ever go down like this is the only way to

706
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: do it. And in a decade, still complaining about the

707
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 1: same things. I think you're a loser and you deserve

708
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: to lose in business, because historically people that lose in

709
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: business complain about the same things for decades. And I've

710
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:33,720
Speaker 1: been around a lot of farmers. They can be really angry.

711
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: Some of them go down because they're still bitching and

712
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 1: own about the same things twenty years later. It's like, guys, adapt,

713
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 1: Do assistant coaches have to be vetted by HR go

714
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: through an interview process, check references, et cetera. Or does

715
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 1: the head coach have enough used to simply hire with

716
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: no questions asked. I think it depends. I think if

717
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: you fall into the category of ben like d Wi's

718
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: obviously any police activity, you definitely get vetted that there

719
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: is a vetting scenario. But some guys, like, if you've

720
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 1: never been in any trouble, what's there really to vet?

721
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 1: And the coach is vouching for you, that's enough. But

722
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 1: if you have a history, like if you had a

723
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 1: domestic violence thing in your past or something like that, yeah,

724
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: it's definitely gonna come up and they're gonna have information

725
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:32,760
Speaker 1: on it. But most coaches, right, if I'm John Harbaugh

726
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: and I'm bringing over people from the Ravens, like they've

727
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: already been vetted, you trust them, you're good. Or Mike

728
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: McCarthy like you have a long history with guys. But

729
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: then there are some guys that yeah, I mean, I

730
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: bet every individual is a little different. But you get

731
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: to the point like is there vetting to go like

732
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 1: off the field on Jim Schwartz, Like, if Kyle Shanahan

733
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 1: wants to hire Jim Schwartz, does he need to vet

734
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: been hired by all these teams over the last couple decades,

735
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: So I think it's probably more younger coaches or individuals

736
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: if they've had issues. Everyone loves talking about rookie contract.

737
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: So I went and looked who has won a super

738
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: Bowl with a rookie contract. Here's the list. Brady Roethlisberger,

739
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: Eli Russell Wilson, Patrick Mahomes, Carson Wentz hurt midseason, So

740
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: it appears that isn't a rookie contract. It's finding a

741
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame quarterback on a rookie contract. I'll grant

742
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,240
Speaker 1: you Eli and Wilson might be borderline, but they're close.

743
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: I think it's really really hard to win a super

744
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: Bowl without a really good team. So to me, a

745
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 1: huge element of winning the Super Bowl it's like you

746
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: gotta have a good, well rounded team. So if you

747
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 1: have a Josh Allen situation, like is your defense good enough?

748
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: He didn't play well, But like I think part of

749
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: it is like their team's not quite good enough, and

750
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: if it's not, he has to dominate, and he didn't.

751
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: You know, Mahomes, they had those couple of years in

752
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: twenty two and twenty three's team or even last year

753
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,439
Speaker 1: when they made the Super Bowl, teams weren't quite as good,

754
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 1: but he played pretty full in big spots. So if

755
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,399
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a high priced quarterback, you either gotta

756
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: nail some draft picks or have that quarterback play at

757
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: like top two or three level. Right look at Seattle.

758
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,760
Speaker 1: They have one of the best teams in the league,

759
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 1: and their quarterback in the NFC Championship just threw three touchdowns,

760
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: no interceptions in three hundred fifty yards. Sometimes life isn't fair.

761
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: Are Niners face Mahomes twice in the Super Bowl? Meanwhile

762
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: Seahawks get a face and unproven pass team with a

763
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: mediocre line. Beside getting healthy, what do you think the

764
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:40,879
Speaker 1: Niners need to finally get over the hump? I saw

765
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: my guy, Dante Whitner say this, like, to me, the

766
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: number one thing this offseason. They gotta stay healthy. I

767
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 1: don't know what that means. I don't know if it's

768
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: removing substations. I don't know if it's changing doctors. But

769
00:40:54,040 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 1: if no healthy players, no chance. It's the foot ball.

770
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna get some guys injured. But the amount of

771
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 1: injuries is not a sustainable fact. They will never win

772
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. The amount of injuries they've had the

773
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 1: majority of these seasons, That to me is the most

774
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: important thing. Clearly, the offseason got to make some smart

775
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 1: moves improve, But none of that matters. If Kittle, I

776
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: Fred Warner, if Nick Bosa. Think about that, Nick Moussa

777
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: makes thirty million dollars a year, Kit'll make Kittle and

778
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: Warner make twenty each. Seattle fan looking forward to the

779
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, it's gotta be a great feeling. It's well,

780
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 1: I mean, I when the Niners making Super Bowl get

781
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: pretty excited, even though I've actually bet against them, and

782
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,280
Speaker 1: actually I bet on them against the Chiefs and I lost.

783
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: I bet on him twice actually and lost both times.

784
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:47,359
Speaker 1: So I'm never doing that again. But if you are

785
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: a Seattle fan, I think part of making a Super

786
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: Bowl too. And the Patriots fall under this a little

787
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: bit when it's unexpected, Like if you're the Chiefs, it's

788
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: like the Chief's invitational, right, if you're even the Eagles,

789
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: like this year, they just as soon they were going

790
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 1: back no One in Seattle like, oh, we think it

791
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,439
Speaker 1: would be pretty good. And now you're in the Super Bowl.

792
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: You just beat the Rams in McVeigh. It's got to

793
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: be really sweet for Seattle. Actually, it's like, yeah, how'd

794
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 1: you get to the Super Bowl? Oh, we just beat

795
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:17,760
Speaker 1: Kyle Shana and Sean McVay in Seattle. That's pretty sweet.

796
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:23,399
Speaker 1: There's no disputio. That's that's pretty badass. Do we need

797
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: to fully abolish the Pro Bowl? It's been abolished. Whatever

798
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: is going on is not I don't watch, most of

799
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 1: you don't watch. It still gets a couple of million people,

800
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 1: whatever the situation is, which is more than all the

801
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 1: other sports. So that's why it's not gonna die. But

802
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: this we need to rename it the uh the Super

803
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: Bowl games. I don't know, uh, the I don't even

804
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 1: know what you call it, but stop calling it the

805
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl because it no longer is. Just call it

806
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 1: something else. And I don't think they will rebrand because

807
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: it gets highballs. Would love to hear your opinion on

808
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 1: him now, Josh Allen's guy, So this was a question.

809
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: Just realize Joe Brady, what are your NFL buddy's opinions

810
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: on him as a coach. Haven't heard much hype since

811
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: the National Championship days. I will say this about Joe

812
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: Brady is Cook has become a star under his watch.

813
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 1: So philosophically like he does believe in running the ball

814
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 1: and utilizing the running back, and clearly because of their personnel,

815
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,280
Speaker 1: they have utilized the tight ends as well. I enjoy

816
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,760
Speaker 1: watching him call an offensive game. It's not his fault

817
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:41,280
Speaker 1: that Dalvin or not Dalvin James, Dalvin's brother cousin fumbles

818
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: a lot, Like that's not his fault or you know,

819
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:47,280
Speaker 1: he didn't draft Keon Coleman, who I actually think Keon

820
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: Coleman should be excited for this decision. But I think

821
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: Joe Brady's been good being a head coach. That was

822
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: a lot different than as being the coordinator. So now

823
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 1: he has set the tone for the defense he has

824
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 1: to set to him for the team. He has to

825
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: set the tone for practice. That to me is the

826
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 1: only quest. Like just Joe Brady calling offensive plays? Clearly fine,

827
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 1: they look how good they've been an offense since he's

828
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: been there. I that's not my worry now, Like who's

829
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: running the operation? Jim Leonard? A lot of rumors about

830
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,439
Speaker 1: him being the defensive coordinator. Like those are two pretty

831
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: hot shot names, Joe Brady Jim Leonard. If you tell

832
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 1: me Jim Leonards calling the D, he's calling the O.

833
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: That's a pretty good coordinator situation. But like handling the

834
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 1: team because even though the GM has a ton of juice,

835
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 1: like the GM talks the team every week. Broncos fan

836
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 1: here was at the championship game and as one of

837
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: the seventy six screaming, faithful, freezing our collective asses off

838
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: for a proud franchise. This goes down as one of

839
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: the what if games and missed opportunity seasons. With the

840
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 1: athleticism of Bo the Broncos win that game. The season

841
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 1: falls with ninety six, five, twelve, thirteen, and fourteen Broncos

842
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 1: teams over the last thirty years. IGACYE of this game

843
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: will be the one iconic sliding doors moment for the

844
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,760
Speaker 1: NFL and this franchise based on bow plate or not ps.

845
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: While I'm planning on sitting out watching the Super Bowl

846
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: as I lick my wounds, can we get some go

847
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: lo podcasts? We will? I just I just had a

848
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: limited amount of time to keep grinding these podcasts. I

849
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:23,240
Speaker 1: just I've watched the I watched last week golf tournament

850
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: with Jack in my arms, but and I plan on

851
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 1: watching this tournament as well. Might even throw a little

852
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:33,399
Speaker 1: money on like Homa cam Young. But Sean Payton said

853
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: yesterday that the doctor said that this was inevitable, that

854
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: there was some predisposed condition I guess to the bone.

855
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: So while it sucks that he got injured, it's better

856
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: to have this injury happen now and fix this problem

857
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,320
Speaker 1: assuming you can, than have it be an issue moving

858
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,919
Speaker 1: forward and you guys are gonna be good next year.

859
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, it sucks, and I think it just shows you.

860
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,720
Speaker 1: I think people just are so tired of being blied

861
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,839
Speaker 1: to and being just told like something is true when

862
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 1: it's not true. Like it's just especially over the last

863
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 1: five years. I mean, it's like Jesus Christ, like we

864
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 1: have eyes and ears, like we know what's going on,

865
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 1: like we know what if Fugazi is. And when Sean

866
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:20,840
Speaker 1: Payton tried to sell us Jared Stidham, it's like, Sean,

867
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 1: come on, bro, this is the AFC Championship game. You're

868
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,240
Speaker 1: not gonna win the game with Jared Stidham. And what happened.

869
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: The guy fucking melted, which I don't even blame him.

870
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 1: I'm not even blaming Jared Stidham. But don't convince me

871
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: that Jared Didham is gonna be like some savior for

872
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 1: your franchise. Give me a break. A longtime listener and

873
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 1: knew Dad as well. I was just listening to the

874
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:46,280
Speaker 1: last podcast and you talked about Mike falling onto falling

875
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: onto the Patriots after exiting the Titans and coaching with

876
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:52,840
Speaker 1: Cleveland for a year. It blows my mind that he

877
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 1: coached with the Browns under Stefans Gain a year later

878
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: than the Super Bowl, Like the Browns had him on

879
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,320
Speaker 1: staff and didn't do anything with him. I'm a Browns

880
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:02,879
Speaker 1: fan and I just can't with them anymore. I agree, Bro,

881
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: he's Ohio guy too, and he wasn't coaching the Browns.

882
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:13,240
Speaker 1: So it's just one of those things. Hey, I sometimes

883
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 1: we don't pick. You know, you're just kind of born

884
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: into it. Like if you're just born into being a

885
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 1: fan of tam X and that team is the Jets

886
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 1: of the Browns, it sucks and football so popular and

887
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 1: so many people care, and it's like, how is this possible?

888
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: How is this? And it's one thing if you're like

889
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,760
Speaker 1: a forty year old guy and you're like a USC

890
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 1: fan right now, it's like you still have the two

891
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 1: thousands and if just it goes semi well, It's not

892
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 1: that I would say much of an uphill battle to

893
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 1: at least just get back in the playoffs. But you've

894
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 1: had great times. You got to live through the Pete

895
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 1: Carroll era, right, But then there's just like Browns like

896
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 1: what was our era? Like what was What do I have?

897
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: If I'm a fifty year old fan over the last

898
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 1: twenty five like, what do I go back to? This sucks?

899
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, it does. Congrats on the baby.

900
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 1: I'm also a new dad. We have a strong contingent

901
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 1: of men in their thirties. That's why advertisers like this.

902
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 1: Men in their thirties high h ai hhi, which would

903
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 1: be household income. We do well. We have a high

904
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 1: level consumers, that's for sure. A lot of new fathers

905
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 1: out there hopefully doing well. It's a grind, bro. I

906
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 1: haven't seen anyone place any blame on Stafford for the

907
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 1: loss on Sunday, particularly because he had the ball in

908
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 1: the final two minutes of the first half. At the time,

909
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: the Rams were three points up and they ended the

910
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 1: half four points behind Ben He couldn't get it done

911
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 1: on the two goal line attempts. Obviously, the fumble is bad,

912
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:45,839
Speaker 1: but Stafford had chances to make up for it. The

913
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: goal line attempts. I put more in with Vey. I

914
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:50,919
Speaker 1: thought those plays he just didn't work. I think he'd

915
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 1: be the first to tell you they were just bad

916
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:55,799
Speaker 1: at play goals. Now, you could argue that Stafford has

917
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 1: to force feed it to either Nikua on DeVante on

918
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 1: one of those two, which I would agree, But I

919
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 1: think there's got to be and I don't pretend to

920
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 1: be Joe Brady here or Andy Reid or Davis Webb,

921
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 1: who fucking everyone's just given a reach around to that

922
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 1: who might be a good coach, But holy moly, the

923
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 1: guy's been coaching for like three years. He's Sean McVay.

924
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:19,320
Speaker 1: Sean McVay coached for like a decade before he got hired,

925
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,320
Speaker 1: had worked for John Gruden, Mike Shanahan and Jay Gruden.

926
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 1: Like had a lot of experience as a young coach.

927
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:27,760
Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to hate on Davis Webb seems

928
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 1: like an impressive guy. I remember watching Macow. I'm not

929
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 1: anti him, but this notion that like you can just

930
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 1: even the Rams guy Sheield House or what, I can't

931
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 1: say his name. It's so much easier when your name's

932
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 1: just like mcveay or Shanahan. He had coached under what's

933
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 1: his name that's with Penn State now. Like experience matters

934
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 1: as a coach, Rivers is somewhat of a unique case

935
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 1: because instead of coaching, he was just playing, and he

936
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 1: played the position that basically is a coach. But whenever

937
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 1: I see these guys like what are we talking about?

938
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:02,360
Speaker 1: Back to Sean, I just think the play calls were bad.

939
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 1: You got to run some sort of like I don't

940
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 1: even know, like some sort of bunch formation where you

941
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 1: could just get Pooka Davonte on a free release. You

942
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 1: just force Stafford like, hey, go to him, no matter what.

943
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:18,839
Speaker 1: I just thought I put that on McVeigh more than

944
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 1: more than Stafford. I really do. On the on the fourth,

945
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,879
Speaker 1: on the third, and four and fourth and four. Out

946
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:28,959
Speaker 1: of all the teams that fired a coach, which team

947
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,359
Speaker 1: do you think will fare the best out of them?

948
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 1: As a Ravens fan, I feel like the Ravens will

949
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:38,319
Speaker 1: because they have a good hire and are are run

950
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,360
Speaker 1: so well, because they made a good Hier and a

951
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 1: ren so well. Also, I would expect the Bills to

952
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:45,840
Speaker 1: come out of it worse. I just think the Ravens

953
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 1: are gonna be solid. You know, is Mike Mintor. If

954
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 1: Mike Mincher is just the next Mike McDonald, you're telling

955
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 1: me the Ravens just had these two boy geniuses on

956
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 1: their team, which clearly Mintor is highly thought of, and

957
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,760
Speaker 1: his dad's a longtime coach. So if he's Mike McDonald,

958
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:03,080
Speaker 1: the Ravens will be elite. If he's just solid, they're

959
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 1: so well run, the team will just be in the

960
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:07,359
Speaker 1: playoff mix and then it'll come down to how Lamar

961
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:09,880
Speaker 1: plays and who their offensive coordinator is. Maybe I've missed that,

962
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 1: but as of recording this, I haven't seen his offensive coordinator.

963
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 1: H are I think Mike McCarthy's gonna be solid, like

964
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 1: the Steelers are not gonna be bad. I think there

965
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:22,439
Speaker 1: are some major wildcards. Like the solid thing. I think

966
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 1: that is there's no Garant Harbaugh is gonna work in

967
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 1: New York. Some of them are just gonna be solid.

968
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 1: Now are they gonna be great teams? I don't know,

969
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 1: but the Browns thing is not gonna work. The solid thing,

970
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 1: to me is a massive could go either way. Who

971
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:41,759
Speaker 1: am I missing? I mean, the Raiders and Cardinals don't

972
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 1: even have a coach yet. I would assume the Raiders

973
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 1: are gonna hire Kubiak in Seattle would be my guess,

974
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 1: and put him in that offense with Mendoza, which would

975
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 1: make a lot of sense as a Ravens fan. Lamar

976
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,400
Speaker 1: and Harbad debate on who is more responsible for the

977
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 1: postseason failures reminds me a lot of Brady and Bill.

978
00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:59,360
Speaker 1: In your opinion, who will have more of a chance

979
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 1: to make the Super Bowl in the next five years

980
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 1: Harbaugh turning around the Giants or Lamar's new coaching staff

981
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:10,240
Speaker 1: with the Ravens. The Ravens. Jackson Dart's an interesting player.

982
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 1: We have no clue if he's like a high end

983
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 1: guy zero like, just to make the playoffs, the quarterback,

984
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 1: you gotta be pretty good. So can't he stay healthy?

985
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 1: Can he play well against good teams? Like? We got

986
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 1: a long way to go with Jackson Dart. If the

987
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 1: Ravens just shore up the defense, get a good offensive coordinator,

988
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 1: they could win twelve thirteen games last year. Next year, hell,

989
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 1: they could be the one seed. So to me, it

990
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 1: would be definitely the Ravens. If if you tell me

991
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:39,880
Speaker 1: Jackson Darts a star, which I could not say that

992
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: right now, then yeah, they would be. It would be

993
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 1: equal because John's gonna it's gonna be a high level

994
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 1: run operation. We have no clue on the quarterback none.

995
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 1: And the one thing you would say about that division

996
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:55,799
Speaker 1: is like Jaden has proven way more. He's gotta stay

997
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:58,320
Speaker 1: healthy as well. Dack's a much better player than Jackson

998
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 1: Dart and same with Jalen Hurtscott Flaw doesn't seem like

999
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: anyone wants to coach him now, but he's a better

1000
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:07,800
Speaker 1: player in Jackson Dart. Why don't more teams need a

1001
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:10,840
Speaker 1: bridge quarterback like the Cardinals try to get Shador Sanders.

1002
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:12,920
Speaker 1: His rookie was rough, but a lot of teams had

1003
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:17,280
Speaker 1: a first round grade on him coming out. They didn't.

1004
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:19,879
Speaker 1: I mean that's why he went the fifth I think

1005
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,439
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone had a first round grade on him.

1006
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 1: I would also say this, I can't even the Cardinals

1007
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:28,799
Speaker 1: don't have a does anyone want their job? Like, who

1008
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 1: are they gonna hire? So until we see them hire somebody.

1009
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 1: If I was them, i'd try to bring Jacoby Brissette back.

1010
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 1: I really don't know what the Cardinals are gonna do

1011
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 1: to me. They are the uphill bat. They're actually building

1012
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 1: a practice facility relatively close to my house. That'd be

1013
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:50,400
Speaker 1: awesome if they sold to a real ownership and a

1014
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:52,839
Speaker 1: buddy of mine got the GM job, then I would

1015
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 1: just I'd become like a sneaky little Cardinal fan. I'd

1016
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 1: go to practices. But the way they will run right now,

1017
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 1: I can't even take them seriou so to me, if

1018
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 1: you're a Cardinal fan, the number one thing you should

1019
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:07,239
Speaker 1: root for. How do we get Michael Bidwell to sell

1020
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:09,879
Speaker 1: the team? What do we have to do to get

1021
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 1: Michael Bidwell to sell the team, Because until that happens,

1022
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if much is gonna change. I really don't.

1023
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 1: So from Shador Sanders to Jacobe Burssett to no coach

1024
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 1: to none of it matters, you're gonna be Kyle Sean

1025
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 1: and Mike McDonald with that owner no chance. Heading down

1026
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:34,400
Speaker 1: to Phoenix next week for a golf trip, Curious to

1027
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 1: know your opinion on two things. Best casino to hit

1028
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 1: up and best restaurants to hit up? Nothing too expensive,

1029
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 1: balling on a budget if you're staying in Scottsdale not.

1030
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: I can't speak to Phoenix. I have never I've only

1031
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 1: been there like twice honestly, since I've lived here on

1032
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 1: and off for about four years. Casinos Talking Stick, which

1033
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:56,879
Speaker 1: is kind of in the middle of Scottsdale. It's got

1034
00:54:56,880 --> 00:55:01,760
Speaker 1: golf courses behind it. It's it's pretty impressive casino. It's

1035
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 1: been a lot of late nights there back in my

1036
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 1: younger days. Haven't been there in a long time, but

1037
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 1: that would be the casino to go to if you

1038
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:10,839
Speaker 1: want to play the golf courses, have drinks and then

1039
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 1: go play or vice versa gamble then go play. Restaurant

1040
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 1: one that's not crazy expensive. There are some, you know,

1041
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:23,759
Speaker 1: masst Ros is a great stake Dominic's. To me, it's

1042
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 1: really expensive, but it's my favorite steakhouse on the West Coast.

1043
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:34,360
Speaker 1: I would say Houston's. It's that restaurant where Biz Nasty,

1044
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:37,359
Speaker 1: the TNT barstool hockey player got in the fight with

1045
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 1: like the seven Traveling Gypsies. I used to live kind

1046
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 1: of down in that area. It's in Paradise Valley. It

1047
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 1: used to be like my favorite. I would just go

1048
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 1: there by myself. If like Maria was gone for the week,

1049
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 1: I went. I ate there with her and by myself

1050
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 1: probably twenty times. Even bisit like part of the reason

1051
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:54,959
Speaker 1: he fought those guys is he was so offendive because

1052
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 1: he loves that restaurant. I love Houston's. I guess they're

1053
00:55:57,719 --> 00:55:59,799
Speaker 1: a chain. I've never been to it. Outside of that.

1054
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 1: The Scottsdale location places bomb and it's not like it's

1055
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:22,240
Speaker 1: a nicer restaurant, but it's not some crazy, fleming steakhouse. Congrats,

1056
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 1: I'm becoming a dad. I'm thirty two year old dad

1057
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:28,800
Speaker 1: of three. Congratulations, bro, Welcome to the cult. Insanely difficult

1058
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 1: to raise children, but with the right woman, it is

1059
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 1: the most satisfying role you will ever play. You deserve

1060
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 1: a ton of credit because, despite your newfound lack of sleep,

1061
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 1: the quality of your show is not dropped off one bit.

1062
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:43,799
Speaker 1: I'm very lucky my job is one my commute to

1063
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 1: my office is out the back door to the backyard.

1064
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: And two, I'm not exactly digging ditches here, and I

1065
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: don't This is not a gig where, you know, I

1066
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 1: got My brother's a farmer, like he's had a couple kids.

1067
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 1: Like if it's dern harvest, like he's got shit to do.

1068
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:00,400
Speaker 1: He's got to leave, you know, he got to go.

1069
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 1: You can be gone for I got buddies in construction,

1070
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:06,800
Speaker 1: the industry. I'm in my business. I'm very, very fortunate

1071
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:10,319
Speaker 1: to be able to kind of continue to do this

1072
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 1: while we're doing this because the whole setup I'm this

1073
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 1: is not difficult. I have no room to complain seeing

1074
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 1: people that juggle both. But I asked my boss, John Middlecoff,

1075
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:24,440
Speaker 1: if you get mattorney to leave, and he said, no,

1076
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 1: gotta keep cranking. Maybe take a couple of weeks off

1077
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 1: in the summer, we'll relax. There's just too much talk about,

1078
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 1: too much good stuff like I'm not gonna not do

1079
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 1: podcasts during AFC NFC Championship week and people getting hired

1080
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 1: and fired. As someone with three kids, there's nothing more

1081
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 1: challenging yet rewarding in life. A bit of advice. Kids

1082
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:43,200
Speaker 1: will play with literally anything the first few years of life,

1083
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 1: so don't need to go crazy my football question. Is

1084
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 1: this good advice? I agree. I haven't bought one toy.

1085
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 1: The only toys we got are toys we've been given either.

1086
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 1: Her mom brought two suitcases of stuff and Maria sabbatical retirement.

1087
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:03,320
Speaker 1: Not quite your right now, but she was in luxury

1088
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 1: real estate and she was at this I think one

1089
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:09,640
Speaker 1: of the most expensive houses that's ever been sold in Arizona.

1090
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 1: The people were so cool, and they had grandkids, and

1091
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:18,920
Speaker 1: they had all this stuff, like expensive toys and diaper genies.

1092
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 1: She pulled in one day. Her back of her car

1093
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 1: was just full of these people that were selling this

1094
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 1: like thirty five million dollar home just gave her. I

1095
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 1: mean a car load of shit. And we've been we've

1096
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 1: been utilizing it. It's been awesome. So I mean we

1097
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:34,880
Speaker 1: take a lot of give me stuff. I'm not buying toys.

1098
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 1: I mean one of the he's two weeks so I

1099
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 1: can't even barely grab my finger. The narrative around the

1100
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 1: Bengals is they are wasting Burrow. Is that overblown. They've

1101
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 1: gotten him good players, and they've spent capital on the

1102
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 1: old line. Doesn't seem like the picks have worked out.

1103
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 1: But even if he had a good old line, he's

1104
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 1: still going to get sacked, and he still may get hurt.

1105
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:56,520
Speaker 1: I think it's just as many Bengal issues come down

1106
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:59,320
Speaker 1: to Burrow being injury prone. However, you wanted to find

1107
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 1: that I had a buddy, a scouting buddy in that

1108
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 1: division that has watched him really closely and has done

1109
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:12,640
Speaker 1: pro advances on him. He's like, obviously Joe when he's on,

1110
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:15,920
Speaker 1: is as good as any quarterback in the league. Is

1111
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 1: an elite player, Hall of Fame level guy. But he

1112
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 1: does have a deficiency is he will hold onto the

1113
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 1: ball a little bit too long trying to make the

1114
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 1: perfect play, and that gets him sacked a lot, and

1115
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 1: that just creates some chaos. And he said, the O

1116
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:33,320
Speaker 1: line gets a bad rap and the injuries, there's some

1117
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 1: randomness to it. But like, yeah, I mean, that's kind

1118
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 1: of a knock on him right now. But he does

1119
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:40,880
Speaker 1: hold onto the ball a little bit longer than like

1120
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:44,120
Speaker 1: Brady and Manning would, So it's like, now when he's on,

1121
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 1: he'll he'll look like the best player in the league.

1122
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:50,280
Speaker 1: But he was just saying, you know, some of his teammates,

1123
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 1: he's better than Russell when he's on, than Prime Russell,

1124
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:57,440
Speaker 1: who is damn good too. But remember how often Seattle's

1125
00:59:57,480 --> 01:00:00,760
Speaker 1: offensive line would just get shit on these I suck,

1126
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 1: these guys look like they should be in the UFL.

1127
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 1: And then like offensive linemen would do like TV hits

1128
01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 1: like Schleareth or Joe Thomas, and maybe I remember who

1129
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 1: was it. It was a guy in the league who

1130
01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:15,960
Speaker 1: was offended. He's like that was not on the left

1131
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 1: Russell ran right into him. Maybe it was Joe Staley.

1132
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 1: I forget who it was, But I think sometimes some

1133
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:26,720
Speaker 1: of these quarterbacks, the scrambling ones, run into sacks and

1134
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:28,919
Speaker 1: the guys like Burrow will just hold onto the ball

1135
01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 1: trying to make the perfect play. But I'm with you,

1136
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:34,240
Speaker 1: it's like this team, Well what they signed the number

1137
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:38,320
Speaker 1: two wide receiver to a big contract. How many teams

1138
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 1: would have done that. So there's no perfect team. There's

1139
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 1: no perfect way to build the team. But I think

1140
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,200
Speaker 1: they've done a better job than they get credit for. Right,

1141
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 1: I'm with you there, Lions fan. Is it crazy to

1142
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 1: think that nine to eight is an utter disaster of

1143
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 1: a season? Five years ago, I would have signed up

1144
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:56,439
Speaker 1: for a single season at nine and eight and called

1145
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:59,080
Speaker 1: MCDC a major success. I do think there is some

1146
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 1: perspective on the Sea going the way that it did,

1147
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:04,280
Speaker 1: finishing above five hundred with a forced play schedule on

1148
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:06,960
Speaker 1: the horizon. That's pretty crazy. You went nine to eight

1149
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 1: and you finished fourth place. What position would you target

1150
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 1: in the upcoming draft. I think there is a similarity

1151
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:15,560
Speaker 1: with the Niners and the and the Lions, like they

1152
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:18,400
Speaker 1: gotta find a way to stay healthy. Too often late

1153
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 1: in the season, it's like all their players are injured,

1154
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:24,400
Speaker 1: so you get branch back. Their corners feels like have

1155
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:27,480
Speaker 1: been a little underwhelming. You could always use another defensive

1156
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 1: lineman to go with Aiden Hutchinson. The offensive line this

1157
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 1: year wasn't quite as good. You get Laporta back off

1158
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 1: the back injury, so offensively skill wise, you're gonna have Laporta,

1159
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 1: who looks hope's healthy to go with your receivers. The

1160
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:44,919
Speaker 1: running backs goff to me, just go line. I would

1161
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 1: just go defensive and offensive line the first couple of

1162
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:51,040
Speaker 1: round the rounds Big Niner fan, but I'm with you,

1163
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:55,400
Speaker 1: like your team. I knew they would try that last

1164
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 1: game of the season against the Bears. Like this is

1165
01:01:57,400 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell. He's wired like a hardball. There's no way

1166
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:02,840
Speaker 1: he's just gonna punt on this and he didn't. So

1167
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:07,600
Speaker 1: to me, they got to figure out the offensive coordinator job.

1168
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:09,880
Speaker 1: Have they have they hired one yet? Maybe maybe I

1169
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:12,200
Speaker 1: missed it. I've had a lot going on, but the

1170
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 1: offensive situation last year, I know he fired the guy

1171
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:17,000
Speaker 1: after the Sea. He fired the guy in the middle

1172
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:20,080
Speaker 1: of the season when he took over. Big Niner fan

1173
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 1: Shanahan is undoubtedly an elite coach and somewhere around top

1174
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:25,479
Speaker 1: five in the league. But how does McVeigh scheme open

1175
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:28,880
Speaker 1: Pookah over and over against McDonald get the Niner struggle

1176
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:31,880
Speaker 1: to gain the yard. It seems like there's some dcs

1177
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:37,760
Speaker 1: that just understand Kyle's system. Well. Kyle's passing game is

1178
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 1: predicated on the run game, and he can't run it

1179
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 1: against Mike McDonald, so then his drop back passing game

1180
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 1: is not nearly as good as the Rams. That's not

1181
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:49,920
Speaker 1: how he wants to play. He wants to run the

1182
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 1: play action stuff to get scheme guys open, partly because

1183
01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:55,240
Speaker 1: he doesn't have Pookin a Coole on his team. Pookina

1184
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:59,440
Speaker 1: Cool is minimum top three wide receiver in the league,

1185
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:02,600
Speaker 1: so he's gotta open on anybody. And he's gone for

1186
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:05,640
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty yards against Seattle this year in

1187
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:07,880
Speaker 1: the last two games, went for two to twenty five

1188
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:10,400
Speaker 1: against Thursday on Thursday night, and went for whatever one

1189
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 1: sixty a couple of days ago. So it's like the

1190
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:17,160
Speaker 1: forty nine ers are depending on DeMarcus Robinson like so

1191
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 1: the skill wise it's not quite the same, but they don't.

1192
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 1: One way to get after Seattle a little bit is

1193
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:26,600
Speaker 1: like Richard Sherman and Durell Reeves. The corners are good,

1194
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 1: but it's not They're not unstoppable, but you can't run

1195
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:32,280
Speaker 1: it at these guys. And then if you do pass

1196
01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaker 1: the way that the forty nine ers do, the play

1197
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 1: action stuff, their pass rush gets to them because it's

1198
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 1: kind of a delayed pass. The Rams offense, the way

1199
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 1: they play, is much more equipped to have success against

1200
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:46,680
Speaker 1: Seattle than the forty nine ers. It's a bad matchup

1201
01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:50,040
Speaker 1: for forty nine ers because he will stop the run

1202
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:52,880
Speaker 1: and his DB's all tackle, so like there's nowhere for

1203
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:55,880
Speaker 1: the running backs to go. And then Kyle's offense is

1204
01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 1: not just a drop back throw it forty five times

1205
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:02,320
Speaker 1: a game. They're not a from behind like he doesn't.

1206
01:04:02,360 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 1: He's not gonna be down twenty. Nothing comes storming back

1207
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:07,560
Speaker 1: like the Rams can come storming back because their dropback

1208
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:10,080
Speaker 1: passing game is their offense. The forty nine Ers are

1209
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:13,760
Speaker 1: not a drop back passing game offense. Kevin O'Connell is

1210
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:16,880
Speaker 1: Andy Reid Is. The forty nine Ers already run first

1211
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:21,880
Speaker 1: offense like the Indiana Hoosiers. How Kyle wants to play

1212
01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 1: and that's how he coaches. Their offensive lines are that great.

1213
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 1: So if like if it's if I'm down seventeen nothing

1214
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 1: and you know I got a pass like Trent Williams

1215
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:32,640
Speaker 1: at forty years old can neutralize some people, but the

1216
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:37,640
Speaker 1: other guys can't. But when they're playing, when the run

1217
01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:39,959
Speaker 1: game's working and the pass games off the play action,

1218
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 1: their offensive linlands. Fine. Okay, come more. Help me get

1219
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 1: through cleaning out my driveway. Multiple times up here in

1220
01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 1: New England. I saw the robot. There's a robot snowblower

1221
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 1: now this guy used I saw it on Instagram like that.

1222
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:56,640
Speaker 1: That'd be a if I owned one. I would never

1223
01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 1: live in the snow. I heard this argument the other

1224
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:00,880
Speaker 1: day by somebody like I would much rather live in

1225
01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:03,880
Speaker 1: these freezing cold temperatures and bundle up than those of

1226
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:06,440
Speaker 1: you that live in the heat. I could not disagree anymore.

1227
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine how you guys do it. I

1228
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:13,920
Speaker 1: get you hate the heat, we hate the cold, and

1229
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:17,320
Speaker 1: your misery in the winter is it's actually a little

1230
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 1: overcast today, sixty eight degrees. But I just there's a

1231
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:23,960
Speaker 1: give and take. But there's no perfect unless you live

1232
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:27,560
Speaker 1: in Newport Beach, right, Most places aren't seventy five year round.

1233
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:29,200
Speaker 1: So it's like you either got to take the cold

1234
01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:32,040
Speaker 1: winners or the hot summers. And I will choose the

1235
01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:35,480
Speaker 1: hot summers every day of the week and fifty times

1236
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:38,200
Speaker 1: on Sunday over the cold winners. Some of you that

1237
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:39,919
Speaker 1: grow up in the Northeast, like when I live in Philly,

1238
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:42,760
Speaker 1: people like the winners. It's still hot there too. It's

1239
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:44,880
Speaker 1: humid in the summer, not quite one hundred and fifteen.

1240
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:48,080
Speaker 1: But I don't know how I get on that tangent.

1241
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 1: My question for the mailbag is, with two defensive coach

1242
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:52,800
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, does that change the landscape of

1243
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:56,680
Speaker 1: hiring moving forward? Everyone was looking for the hot young

1244
01:05:56,720 --> 01:06:01,880
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. I mean the Mike McDonald just got hired.

1245
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:04,800
Speaker 1: His name, his name is Jesse Mentor, and Mike Vrabel

1246
01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:09,560
Speaker 1: is kind of a He's like Philip Rivers that type guy,

1247
01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:12,280
Speaker 1: doesn't It's like, yeah, that guy, former player, high level player,

1248
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:18,280
Speaker 1: just impressive dude, just a dude, an alpha, an alpha's alpha.

1249
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:23,280
Speaker 1: Where does that Mike Vrabel would get hired in any cycle? Offense, defense,

1250
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:25,640
Speaker 1: special teams doesn't give a shit what you're looking for.

1251
01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:30,120
Speaker 1: You'd hire Mike Frabel no better job than being a dad.

1252
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 1: My best piece of advice patience. Patience, patience because kids

1253
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:38,680
Speaker 1: have none. Patience is not something I've ever had, but

1254
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:41,920
Speaker 1: once you get married, you kind of work on it.

1255
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 1: Once you have a child, you don't really have a choice.

1256
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:46,920
Speaker 1: I wanted to hear your thoughts on Jonathan Gannon being

1257
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:49,960
Speaker 1: hired as the Packers defensive coordinator. I remember when he

1258
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 1: got hired by Arizona and he's like the Poo Poo

1259
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:56,360
Speaker 1: and everyone was making fun of him at the time.

1260
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:58,919
Speaker 1: I actually knew probably more people in Philly. I did

1261
01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:01,160
Speaker 1: not know one of my guys that worked for Philly

1262
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 1: scouting department that didn't love Jonathan Gannon. And they said, honestly,

1263
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:08,840
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be a better head coach

1264
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:13,040
Speaker 1: than he was a defensive coordinator. The downfall Jonathan Gannon

1265
01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:15,640
Speaker 1: was he signed up for a franchise with a joke owner.

1266
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is the quarterback, and this year they had

1267
01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 1: a million injuries. I think Jonathan Gann's pretty good, I

1268
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 1: really do. I actually kind of came around on him.

1269
01:07:23,880 --> 01:07:25,440
Speaker 1: I met him at the Combine a couple years ago.

1270
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:28,120
Speaker 1: One of my buddies introduced me to him. See just

1271
01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 1: a high level cat. Now, is he gonna be as

1272
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:36,200
Speaker 1: good as Halflee? I don't know. I feel you know,

1273
01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 1: you go back to Philly. Jonathan Gannon's probably and maybe

1274
01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:44,080
Speaker 1: this is unfair, but a little more vanilla than Halfley.

1275
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:47,320
Speaker 1: Halfley was really good. Like if you told me I

1276
01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:49,880
Speaker 1: could get a defensive coordinator like he would be on

1277
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:52,720
Speaker 1: my short list of people I would have wanted in

1278
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 1: the NFL head coach or defensive coordinator. I think Jonathan

1279
01:07:56,560 --> 01:08:01,960
Speaker 1: Gannon's probably higher than most, but I I it might

1280
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:03,320
Speaker 1: be a little bit of a drop off, but he's

1281
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:07,000
Speaker 1: still gonna be good. Joe Barry days are not gonna

1282
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:08,960
Speaker 1: be there. I mean, look at Jonathan Gannon when he

1283
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:10,400
Speaker 1: was there in Philly a couple years ago, and they

1284
01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:13,040
Speaker 1: lived the league in sacks. So you get Gary, you

1285
01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:19,599
Speaker 1: get Micah back draft more defensive players. It's a good, higher, solid,

1286
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:21,680
Speaker 1: higher with a guy with a ton of experience. I mean,

1287
01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:24,920
Speaker 1: let's face it, the pressure on Joe Brady, pressure on

1288
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:28,280
Speaker 1: the Packers, like there's no like, can't just have a

1289
01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:30,040
Speaker 1: nine to eight season like people are gonna want like

1290
01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:32,760
Speaker 1: an NFC championship, super Bowl level run and you make

1291
01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:34,880
Speaker 1: this trade for Micah, which was the right move. I

1292
01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:37,120
Speaker 1: don't I would have made that move as well. So

1293
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:39,600
Speaker 1: what everybody, but you got to come through when you

1294
01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:41,960
Speaker 1: make those moves, and so the pressure, I think that's

1295
01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:44,720
Speaker 1: probably why they didn't go. I had someone text me

1296
01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:47,439
Speaker 1: they thought Jim Leonard was gonna be the guy. With

1297
01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:49,920
Speaker 1: Jonathan Gannon, you know, you're getting a guy that can

1298
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:51,640
Speaker 1: coordinate at the NFL level. He's done it at the

1299
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:55,160
Speaker 1: highest level against the best teams right in Philly, so

1300
01:08:56,439 --> 01:08:59,360
Speaker 1: and he can handle the pressure. So I get why

1301
01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:01,880
Speaker 1: they did it, and I think it's a good higher.

1302
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:04,120
Speaker 1: I do think he's got a tough guy to replace

1303
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:07,960
Speaker 1: because I think athlete's a stud. But totally understand it.

1304
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:11,120
Speaker 1: And I've never heard a bad word about Jonathan Gannon.

1305
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:13,600
Speaker 1: I actually think more people around the league like a

1306
01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:16,800
Speaker 1: more seeing what he went through in Arizona. I actually

1307
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:18,960
Speaker 1: think he hired a pretty good staff too, like the

1308
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:22,000
Speaker 1: guy he oh. The Lions hired the ball dude from

1309
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:24,880
Speaker 1: Arizona who's highly thought of. Everyone I know in the

1310
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:28,360
Speaker 1: league likes him. I think they think highly of these guys.

1311
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:32,639
Speaker 1: They think lowly of the organization, not of Bannon great

1312
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:36,360
Speaker 1: head coach. Clearly not the most dynamic guy, but I

1313
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 1: think it was a good hire. On defense audios, the

1314
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:43,679
Speaker 1: volume
