1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: Be around the NFL podcast. He isn't resting their starters

2
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: from the Chris Westling podcast studio. It's around the NFL.

3
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: I'm Dan Hansas. I have some heroes with me, Greg Rosenthal,

4
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler. You know. I don't like to miss shows. Boys,

5
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: I get a lot of fomo. But family called and

6
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: I needed to do some good fam time over there

7
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: in Anaheim. Did it. But I'm happy to be back.

8
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: How's everybody doing. It's good to be good to have

9
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: you back. Doesn't feel right without you here. We we

10
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: had our fun on the broadcast and and with Clay

11
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: Bon and Henry. But it's just it's it's wrong. It

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: doesn't feel right. How I imagine I did. I was

13
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: kind of out of pocket, so I didn't hear the

14
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: show or see the program in NFL network. Um, how

15
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: did Greg doing the host chair? Mark? I thought he

16
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: did a um A competent job. Not surprisingly. Um, I

17
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: was knows this is a tricky. This is like Andrew

18
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: Barry trying to answer questions. Well now, because there's I

19
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: think that Greg, Um, you know, I'll just say I'll

20
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: put it this way. After the show, UM, I was

21
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,559
Speaker 1: driving home and got a text from Greg really yeah

22
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: about the show and about his own performance. Um, which

23
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: I you know, I always vote no. It's absolutely true.

24
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: I know that Greg, like he he You know, Kyleen

25
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: hosted the broadcast. By the way, this is what this

26
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: text said. By the way, what up? I did an

27
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: incredible job with that. I'm sure you agree. I feel power,

28
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: real human power flowing through my bloodstream. I am nothing

29
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: short of an unstoppable fireball in this industry, in our league.

30
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: Check your latter brock. Greg. Obviously, I was poking around

31
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: looking for that naked ambition and there it was in

32
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: the text. I mean, I didn't even respond to it

33
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: because it's like, I don't even know. That just gets

34
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: me in the middle of I like, in your know,

35
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: pretend little text that you rode out nicely for yourself.

36
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: You made all caps for real human power. I don't

37
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: know if you really this is how you sent it.

38
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: And then I want to because I don't know if

39
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: this came up late in the week, but I know

40
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: obviously it's in a emotional roller coaster of a couple

41
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: of weeks for you, Mark. And it should be noted

42
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: that one of your great heroes on Twitter reached out

43
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: to you, Mark Hamill, and that had to be a

44
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: real thrill for you. It was a boost. Right, this

45
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: is not the right song. He wouldn't want to be

46
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: Simone on that day. I mean, Mark was just right.

47
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: He was excited. Bill Bill, Bill, We've interacted before, but

48
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: this this felt a little bit different. Um. I thought

49
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: it unified us in a in a stronger way. Mark him,

50
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: he knows who you are at this point. You guys

51
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: are probably friends Twitter friends. I got in the mix

52
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: when you initially tagged him on it, and I replied, Hey,

53
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: how about my buddy Mark with the sea I think

54
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: you might have been the change agent on that idea.

55
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: I hope I was, And if I wasn't, it doesn't

56
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: matter that all the matters that you have a direct

57
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: Cesler Hamill connected perfectly in sync. Right, although this is

58
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: the score from Superman. Just to be clear, Okay, well,

59
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: we try our best. By now it's a pet You

60
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: did that on purpose. I tried my best. I worked

61
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: with Erica to produced the best show possible and if

62
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: I fell short in that regard, let's get to the news.

63
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: We got a lot to get to. Will Smith just

64
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: smacked it out of it. Love it, Love monoculture moments.

65
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: I love things that everyone's talking about. You know. I

66
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: was out with the family. Keith and Deb are still

67
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: in town. We went out and had a nice pizza

68
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: dinner with the boys, and when news of this incident

69
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: with Rock and Smith happened at the Oscars, you heard

70
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: it buzzing all over the restaurant in this outdoor area

71
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: we're at. And then you go and check it out

72
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: and there it is. And then when I'm checking out

73
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: with the hostess, it was a place where you pay

74
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: at the front. I showed it to her because I

75
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: just wanted to share it with I wanted to share

76
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: this moment. And I was thinking, it's like the nice

77
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: version of Peter King telling that hostess that who was

78
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: it that died? Robin Williams. Robin Williams not funny, but

79
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: come on, um, I'm I was thinking about it. What

80
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: would be the NFL equivalent of that moment? And I

81
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: and I said, what, okay, would it be? For instance,

82
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers on the stage at NFL Honors saying something

83
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: and then like Brett Farve gets up and Molly WAPs him.

84
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: But the thing is, it doesn't work because these and

85
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: we know being up close to these guys that they're

86
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: all very macho, and no one takes the slap. There's

87
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: no NFL player that takes that slap without a becoming

88
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: a ruckus. So then I was thinking it probably would

89
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: have to be again, let's set it at NFL Honors.

90
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: Let's put Steve Harvey up there. He says something about

91
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: Steve Smith. I'll throw wide receiver out there. Um that

92
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: might be involved in something. I guess gets up the stairs.

93
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: Smack Steve Harvey. I think it can't be player on player.

94
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: It has to be uh, player on personality, player on

95
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: performer on com individual or or Steve Smith if he

96
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: hears this somewhere in the building, right, well, right, I

97
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: think we that would be a better analog. I think

98
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: is Mark slapping me in the face during during the podcast.

99
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if NFL Honors and Steve Harvey is

100
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: getting a lot of pop, but I feel like if

101
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: if Mark slapped me hard in the face because I

102
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: just went went too far one of these times, maybe

103
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: maybe it wouldn't be a monoculture moment, but for our

104
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: podcast listeners it would be seizeman. If that happens. One day,

105
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: I will tell you, I will be the happiest man

106
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: in the world, not because of any boiling point being reached,

107
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: but the entertained value of a slap. Slap in the

108
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: student I'll take it doesn't have to be Mark Greg,

109
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: anyone getting just slapped, Like Ricky maybe comes in here

110
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: like she's oh, Dan made one too many jokes about

111
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: my vacation. I'm just gonna Molly WAPs like that would

112
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: be cool. Well, she's a total wild card. I could

113
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: see that. That would be amazing, that would be hilarious.

114
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: Get mad Greg too, Like if you just came in,

115
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: what if I slapped all three of you, like just

116
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: down the line, like just boom boom ball at one point,

117
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: cartoons on the second and third person for allowing that

118
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: after you know you see the first one. That's true.

119
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: Um And by the way, a little later in the show,

120
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: now that free agency is really unfolding here and we're

121
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: in the what would this be the third wave we're

122
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: in now? I don't know. I think we're in the

123
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: second second wave, but the third week. So it's it's

124
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: been it's been going on for a while. You know

125
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: what it also is it's almost gray Beard season. I

126
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: gotta roll out the two thousand, twenty two gray gray beards.

127
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: I gotta talk to Ali Bun Purry um about that

128
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: are options right now? You might have to wait this out.

129
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: There's too many good old guys I'd like to put

130
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: together a good uh roster though, so maybe next week though, UM,

131
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to best fits for remaining free agents,

132
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,679
Speaker 1: any trains we like. Um, but let's hit the news first.

133
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: All right. We do have to hit this just because

134
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: the timing of it. Again, the Browns masterfully uh setting

135
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: all this stuff up to minimize exposure. So their press

136
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: conference introducing Deshawnoisson is held on Friday. Uh that gives uh,

137
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: you know, the weekend to slow down the story and

138
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: get forgotten by Will Smith smacking the out of Chris

139
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: Rock and other events. Uh. Here was Deshaun Watson at

140
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: the Dais, a dais that did not include the owner, uh,

141
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: the owners of the Browns d and Jimmy Haslum who

142
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: held a zoom meeting later. I mean anyway, d Uh,

143
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: here is Deshaun Watson uh talking about where he's at

144
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: right now and how he feels about this situation with

145
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: the twenty two cases of sexual assault and harassment still

146
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: hanging over his head. I understand the whole circumstances is

147
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: very difficult, especially for the women's side of the fans

148
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: in this community. Um, I'm not naive to that. I

149
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: know these allegations is very very serious. But like I

150
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: was mentioned before, I've never assaulted any woman. I never

151
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: disuspected any woman. I was raised by a single parent

152
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: mom who has two aunties, who's her sister, and that's who.

153
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: That's who raised me. I was raised to be genuine

154
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: ever spent everyone and everything around me. Mark, is it?

155
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: This is where Watson's coming from on this. There's no

156
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: accepting of blame because he is continuing to assert innocence. Um,

157
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: how does it? How does it? How did it come

158
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: off to you? Well, I think you just said it.

159
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: I don't hear from his angle, um really accountability. I

160
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: mean he talked about the fact, you know, I don't

161
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: have a problem. I don't have an issue. When they

162
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: talked about counseling, I don't have any regrets. Um, he's

163
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: very he's been very clear. I think on that from

164
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: that angle and from the Browns angle, I think it's

165
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: like I'll say what I've mentioned on our around the

166
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 1: NFL broadcast. Maybe just come out and say we want

167
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: to win football games. That's why we did this, without

168
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: the song and dance and the rest of it, and

169
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: trying to tell us how much work went into this,

170
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: into their investigation. It just it didn't check out to me,

171
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: um watching it in real time and it doesn't check

172
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 1: out in hindsight. Yeah, we we talked about it for

173
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: a while. That was That was a exhausting, exhausting week.

174
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's exhausting for a lot of people, you know,

175
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: within the Browns organization. Exhausting for a lot of women

176
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: and men who have been upset about this. Like I

177
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: can't muster the same fury that I had had on

178
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: on Friday watching it. But it just sort of like

179
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: a darker version of the Falcons press conference was like,

180
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: how dumb do you think your fans are? Um? They

181
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: I don't think they thought the press conference would go

182
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: as poorly as it did. I think they've been in

183
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: their cocoon a little bit, the Agent Watson ownership, believing

184
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 1: that they're checking a lot of boxes and maybe they

185
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: didn't know was gonna be as antagonistic, like why is

186
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski even up there that would indicate they thought

187
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: there was gonna be some football questions. There was one.

188
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: And I give the Browns media credit, who don't have

189
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: the same relationships with Watson's agent that the national media does.

190
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: And I'm not singling out anyone in particular. I would

191
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,239
Speaker 1: say every national outlet is part of this. And Mullaghtta,

192
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: I think, has exerted a lot of power in terms

193
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: of silencing and changing the coverage, skewing the coverage in

194
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: a way that the Browns Cleveland media doesn't doesn't care about,

195
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: and they came at him hard. He was shook, Andrew

196
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: Berry was shook. And I think the most honest answer

197
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: the entire UH press conference came from Barry at the

198
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: end when they said are you confident you know that

199
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: Watson didn't do anything? Um that that he didn't do

200
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: anything that would be objectionable, And Barry, notably, i think,

201
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: to his credit, didn't answer that. He's like, I'm not

202
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: going there, Like I'll go pretty far here in backing

203
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: up what i think Watson's gonna be moving future, but

204
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say that this man didn't do anything wrong.

205
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: And you see kind of what the plan is here.

206
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: You don't have to be uh an expert in the

207
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: legal field that Deshaun Watson. Okay, I dodged criminal charges here,

208
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: so I will not be found guilty in the court

209
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: of law. Now we have all these civil lawsuits. My

210
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: goal here is that they either get dismissed or their

211
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: settlements that it involves confidentiality where that people can't speak

212
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: out so there's nothing that could be said, and those

213
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 1: quietly go away, and then that all That's how I'm saying,

214
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: either not going to set up, but that's for now

215
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: right all that's gonna be left is him saying I

216
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: didn't do it. You can choose to believe me or not.

217
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna go play football. That is That is

218
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: the goal here for Watson and the Browns is that

219
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: eventually this will go away. And I guess the disappointment

220
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: is you want there to be some ownership to what

221
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: he did. But if he's saying he didn't do it,

222
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: you're kind of from the public standpoint. Um from the

223
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: brown standpoint, you're from public standpoint, what do you do

224
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: you You could say I don't believe him, but if

225
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: he's not going to take accountability. You can't force him to.

226
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: It's just it's an uncomfortable, strange situation. It is and there,

227
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: and you're right, the Browns are banking on the fact

228
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: that the football side of this will quickly take over,

229
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: and that what you know, and as with with all things,

230
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 1: the story of the day and what we're outraged about, Um,

231
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: we don't have the energy to remain outrage. We know

232
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: the energy to stay necessarily in a corner of thought

233
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: and we'll move on and move on to the football side.

234
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: That's what they're banking on, and looking at how things work,

235
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna win that. But people also won't

236
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: forget it either. Now, this was an unforgettable press conference,

237
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: It was an unforgettable transaction. Nothing like it has really

238
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: ever happened in the history of the NFL. And even

239
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: if yes, you're selling tickets and you're selling sponsorships still

240
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: and the Browns retain their fan base, it's it's I

241
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: don't think it's something that's gonna be forgotten. And I

242
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: think that's partly just because of the timing of it all.

243
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: And I think they pushed through the timing on this,

244
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: and this is where the media part I think plays

245
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: a factor if the media was tougher on it throughout.

246
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if it would have happened right now

247
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: in this window to maximize his earnings. Uh like it

248
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: like they did to maximize him being on the team

249
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: in the offseason, to maximize his options. Frankly, that he

250
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: could do it in this week. So I think they

251
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: are ultimately, whether they realize that or not, take gonna

252
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: take more heat. And it was a more uncomfortable process

253
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: because it because so much is still uncertain in terms

254
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: of the civil cases and in terms of the NFL.

255
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: Because they did it now, because they pushed it now

256
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: to get the most money and the most leverage possible.

257
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: And I think it's gonna end up not really doing

258
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: him a great service. I think if it had gone

259
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: through a more normal process, it wouldn't have been as active.

260
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: I would just say this. I I agree when you

261
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: say that people aren't going to forget. But the way

262
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 1: that we treat all of this stuff with sports and

263
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: with other things is like the league is littered with

264
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: people that did um stuff that we don't think is great,

265
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: we don't accept on any level, and we we move

266
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: on from it like we just do and the brown

267
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: And speaking of Peter King read in his column today

268
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: they had he had some listeners their lifelong Browns fans

269
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: writing in saying how disillusioned and upset, how they can't

270
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: root for the team in the same way anymore. Mark,

271
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: You've been on record on this podcast that you are

272
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 1: also disillusioned and don't feel like you could root for

273
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: the team in the way that you did growing up. Um.

274
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: But the Browns are banking on challenging you and everyone

275
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: and every other Browns fan that. And we're twelve and

276
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 1: five a year from now or two years from now,

277
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: and we have a first round by or we are

278
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: you know, one game away from the super Bowl, you're

279
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: still gonna be out, or you're gonna kind of forget

280
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: about this and let time take care of it. It's

281
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: it's dirty business. But I think that's what they're banking on,

282
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: that we're taking the hit now to know that tomorrow

283
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: people will move on. UM. In other news, since we're here, UM,

284
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: real quick on Baker Mayfield, who still ten days after

285
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: this trade for Deshaun Watson is still a member of

286
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: the team. Kevin Stefanski said at the league meeting today,

287
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: I think everyone understands the situation and we're hoping that

288
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: it is resolved soon. Jake Brisket is on that team.

289
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: Watson is either gonna play all the games or some

290
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: of the games. Uh next season. Uh So we're still

291
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: waiting for that other shoot to drop. Just a matter

292
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: of like where is the fit for what for Baker.

293
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: But still I thought it was interesting. Joe thomas Um

294
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: had a point that he except Baker overplayed his hand

295
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: with the statement with the trade demand, kind of valuing

296
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: himself as a franchise quarterback that could dictate where he

297
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: goes next, and now he finds himself in this kind

298
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: of purgatory. I mean, we're about to talk about another

299
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: quarterback that overplayed his hand a bit, but Baker absolutely did.

300
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: I mean, this is he's an emotional being and it

301
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: cost him in this situation. I mean, at the same time,

302
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: it's so clear the Browns were moving on and they

303
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: really he has no value right now, like you just

304
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: had the team, teams aren't going especially with the draft

305
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: coming up. It's like Baker Mayfield has no real landing

306
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: spot at the moment. I think Seattle can be it.

307
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: I don't buy that they need to You know, give

308
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: give up a pick to get rid of Baker. His

309
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: contracts not bad. It's nineteen million dollars. If you're gonna

310
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: be starting games, that will be one of the lowest

311
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: guys with as much experience that he has. I think

312
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: it's just gonna drag out until the draft. Seattle makes sense,

313
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: he send a fourth round pick. The Browns aren't in

314
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: a huge hurry. He's not. You can never get on

315
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: the field. Again, I don't need to hear about this.

316
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: This talk is like, well, maybe they would carry him,

317
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: and it's like, no, but they have plenty of cap space.

318
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: They have plenty of cap space even with Baker. They

319
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: have the number two, uh most amount of cap space

320
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: in the entire NFL. So you wait until the draft,

321
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: you get a fourth round pick for him. I'm not

322
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: sure where else he would possibly go, and so Seattle

323
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: kind of knows that. And I think Seattle is where

324
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: he was. I mean, he just seems like the biggest

325
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: loser of this um period of league calendar, because not

326
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: only do he lose his job and it's been a

327
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: humbling thing. He wanted to go to the Cults, Cault

328
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: say no thanks. Now you're hearing the reports connecting Jarvis

329
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: Landry and O'Dell back to Cleveland. It's like, it's a

330
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: tough time to be Baker Mayfield, to be Panthers don't

331
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: even want him. It'll be interesting to see how he

332
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: comes out of this, uh, because it's obviously I would

333
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: think been very humbling. And Kyler Murray, yes, he has

334
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: been the subject of speculation, another former number one overall

335
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: pick who is potentially at odds with his team. He

336
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: doesn't say so. Um and A he was at a

337
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: charity event and said, I'm an Arizona Cardinal. And he

338
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: also just something we obviously were laser focused on, which

339
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 1: was scrubbing his social media any and all Cardinals content,

340
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: usually a sign of discontent. I want out, But Kyle says, no, no, no, no,

341
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 1: I would never do that. No. That was like if

342
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: you're a kid my age. So it wasn't nothing to

343
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: do with the Corners kids my age. It's just a thing.

344
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: It sounds like something my son would say, my seven

345
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: year old. He's um, he's being agist, you know, he's

346
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: he's representing the young people in just saying we're a

347
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 1: bunch of olds that don't understand. I mean, Ricky as

348
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: the resident person who uh, you know, it's so close

349
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: to being in their twenties but no longer, just on

350
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: the outside looking in like that, does that like hold water?

351
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: Because his whole thing of like, well I I brought

352
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: it down to two. We do that all the time.

353
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: Well then he re added everything again a couple of

354
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,239
Speaker 1: weeks later, right, Yeah, no, it totally, it totally is

355
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: something for him to brush it off like that's nothing.

356
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: We're looking. You know, Mark tweeted last night like he's

357
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: in a dark dark wood or something. And then we

358
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,479
Speaker 1: look at his profile. Yeah again, and we look at

359
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: his profile and everything a t N related has been scrubbed.

360
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: We'd be like, hey, what's going on here? You know

361
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: what I mean? It means, why are you in a

362
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: dark wood? I don't know. Hey, just and Ricky, just

363
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 1: a heads up, Um, early spring is a time for

364
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: darkness and beauty. A few hours before that, or maybe

365
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: a day before that, I'm not sure everything becoming a

366
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: dark dream. I don't think it speaks for itself. Somebody

367
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: who's watching a press conference. I think you know an

368
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: industry parlance. By the way we watched what would be sad?

369
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 1: You would uh, you would be labeled as being on

370
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: the wrong side of thirty. Yeah, yeah, that's exactly exactly, don't.

371
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't view you that way, thank you.

372
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, we know Greg Stance, but he's getting old,

373
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: he's getting old, cranky, you know it just it is

374
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: what it is, getting cranky kyler thing. Though it does

375
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,479
Speaker 1: seem like he's calmed down a little bit. I do

376
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: think you can take out of these these comments and

377
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: the like they put out. That statement was more significant

378
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: to me than the Twitter scrubbing and the statement I

379
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: read as pay me and if you don't pay me,

380
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 1: I'm not going to practice. And I still think that

381
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: might be his vantage point. But I think the emotions

382
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: of how the season ended up, he realizes he's going

383
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: to be there. I think he probably legitimately wants to

384
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: be there as long as they pay him. But that's

385
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 1: a big that's a big, but that's a big I

386
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: think Mark's right too. Like some of the options that

387
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 1: are apptizing of dried I it's like, oh, you want

388
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: to get traded and you want to go play for

389
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 1: Matt Rule before he gets fired in Carolina? Like is

390
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: that better than where you are now? Suddenly Kyler Murray

391
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 1: who steps into line. It's like, because you have no

392
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: other options, my friend, maybe yeah, maybe Seattle is an

393
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: open door. But also they just traded their guy and

394
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. It's one thing like for the Browns that

395
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: if they considered trading Baker in the division, that feels

396
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 1: a little more drew bledsoe to the Bills, like, yeah,

397
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: try to beat us with with with him. I don't

398
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: think anyone they're not keeping Kyler in the division no

399
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: matter what. Although we shouldn't be so sure because there's

400
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: been literally a dozen mega trades right nothing, nothing from

401
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: the past has any tangible meaning anymore. Big news for

402
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: Bills fans um on the same day that NFL owners

403
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: unanimously approved this is the owners meetings are going on.

404
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: We mentioned on the the show it's happening right now. Over

405
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: there hadn't mentioned it. We used to, We used to

406
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: go get some fun interviews. Maybe we'll go back next year.

407
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: It didn't work out this year. But also it feels

408
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: like this is the calm after the storm this year,

409
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: where you know, maybe if things worked well, there wasn't

410
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: even a whisper about sending us this time after we

411
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: had done there were whisperdemic, and well, I'm not I

412
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: guess I'm not paying attention to the whispers, but I mean,

413
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: it wasn't a rallying cry for us to to go

414
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: this time. I'm happy to be here, Frank, it's nice.

415
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 1: It's nice to be with you guys here in Los Angeles. Well,

416
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 1: you got to go to Disney Disneyland instead, you would

417
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: have been, you know, walking around a bunch of GM's.

418
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: Forget that. So on the same day that the NFL

419
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: owners unanimously approved the Bill's proposal for a new stadium

420
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: in Orchard Park, the Bills officially reached agreement with the

421
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: state and Erie County on a new one point four

422
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: billion dollars stadium. The agreement is for a thirty year

423
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: lease on the stadium. It's set to begin that lease

424
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and the Bills will contribute five hundred

425
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: and fifty million to match a combined eight hundred and

426
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: fifty million in public funding six hundred million from New

427
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: York State, Erie County to fifty million. So that shows

428
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: you a lot of things. Some of that, I feel

429
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: like it used to be a situation where teams could

430
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: hold cities and regions hostage, say pay for our stadium. Uh.

431
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: In this case, there's a split of this. I don't

432
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 1: know if this is viewed as something that's fiscally responsible regionally,

433
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: but I do know the bills are a major part

434
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,719
Speaker 1: of that community. So maybe it makes sense that everybody

435
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: worked together to get a great facility built here. You

436
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: remember when we started at the NFL, there was that

437
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 1: period where the the Vikings and you know, Minnesota taxpayers

438
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: UM went through a living hell to try to get

439
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 1: that stadium done. This there's just a really special relationship

440
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: between Buffalo UM. It's football team and now it's taxpayers

441
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: as well. UHM. I the want for me the whole

442
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: money thing great. I'm glad that they're not leaving town.

443
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: First of all, that would be a travesty, but second

444
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 1: that they didn't go down the road which would have

445
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 1: annoyed me by going Dome Stadium where you can make

446
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: it multipurpose to do. But it's outdoors. It's going to

447
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: be outdoors in that Buffalo winter from now until the

448
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: end of time. Yeah, they're that part makes sense. Them

449
00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: staying in Buffalo gotta happen. I Uh, it's also not

450
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: totally done at least some of the state share needs

451
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: to pass a budget. But it doesn't sound like, uh,

452
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: there's lawmakers that are looking that have shown any signs

453
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 1: up there to Western New York to be boots on

454
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: the ground that said, it's the most public money ever

455
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,959
Speaker 1: spent spent spent on a stadium at a time when like,

456
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: you know, public schools are you know, struggling, and it

457
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: seems ridiculous for the richest league and the richest billionaires

458
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: and these you know, these teams that are worth billions

459
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: of dollars to need to get taxpayers to pay almost

460
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: a billion dollars in the year two So why it

461
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: hasn't happened in many other places for a long time.

462
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 1: It's like, miss me with that when you're like cutting

463
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 1: like all arts and like Jim funding in bad football

464
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: is family. Everything you're saying makes sense. It feels like, uh,

465
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,959
Speaker 1: you know, they got it. They got done. It wouldn't

466
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: work in most places, but they got it. It's a

467
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 1: nice logical way to look at the Gregg. I agree

468
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: with you, um and I don't want to get we

469
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: don't this is not an episode of money on money.

470
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: I wish he was here to break it down I

471
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: do imagine having the stadium is going to bring a

472
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: lot of revenue into the region for decades to come.

473
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: So maybe there's a conversation there. I will say this

474
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 1: that the Sophi Stadium across the street from us UH

475
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: fully funded privately. UH in Vegas though that that region

476
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: they contributed seven fifty millions. So I guess you don't

477
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: become billionaires by being a nice guy or a girl. Greg.

478
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: Would you rather, though, you can do it by like

479
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: making people you know that aren't as fortunate. Are you

480
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: saying are not nice? Greg? I'm saying, like you could

481
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 1: afford to build the stadium or sell the team. Greg,

482
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: let's say you have a choice to make. In all

483
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: of society would know that you made this choice. We

484
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,199
Speaker 1: have music and a second music class added to elementary

485
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: schools in western New York, but the bills moved to

486
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: San Antonio. I mean that's a it's a false dichotomy there, No,

487
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: it's technic. I think I promise we can find many

488
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: billionaires to to build. I just think you're putting us

489
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: in a tough spot, um or putting me in a

490
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: tough spot. I'll just say Greg supports schools. It has

491
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 1: nothing to do with you tsk task for taking any

492
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 1: of the public's money. I think everybody wins here ultimately, right,

493
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,719
Speaker 1: if you're gonna spend money on stuff, the bills are

494
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: something I'm worth now, I'm sort of over that, like

495
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: giving these people like who but that it's not like

496
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: to get public support like most people. They're obviously like

497
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: the fans are happy. I'm just saying they could afford it.

498
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: They're just they're just put it on people who can't.

499
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: Is this our last show? I don't know. I just

500
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: this would not. This would not also be a lame

501
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: way to end the show. A bunch of people that

502
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: don't know anything about financial business worrying over it. Anyway,

503
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: I'm happy the bills are staying in Buffalo. How about that?

504
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: Of course, can't we agree on that. I said that

505
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: my mind goes no deeper on the topic. But those

506
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: music classes that are have been cut as a result

507
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: of this, that is tried a guy, agree, don't be

508
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: a dirk. It's the tell tale sign is when the

509
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: first thing the governor said was like the hard working

510
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: men and women of Western New York. Whenever you break

511
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: out the hard working men and women, you know that

512
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: their phony be like that was the first thing that

513
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 1: Shaun Watson put out to like, I can't wait to

514
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: get it in front of the hard working men, like

515
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 1: what there's not hard working men everywhere? Hard worket like

516
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: shut up and politician not authentic and also everyone out

517
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,479
Speaker 1: there that's gonna be like Greg was right, Dan was

518
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 1: wrong in this miss me with educating me on how

519
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 1: public funding. I don't I don't care. Dan and Mark,

520
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 1: maybe you should take a wider, broader view of the

521
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: topic the way that Greg did. I mean, I Greg,

522
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: I generally agree with what you're saying, but I just

523
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: you know, an ideal scenario. I'm totally with you, it

524
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: would be good. That's on how it played out. The

525
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions will be the feature team in training camp

526
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 1: version of Hard Knocks, according to an announcement made Monday

527
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: by HBO and NFL films Hit Me with It, Ricky Alright.

528
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: The Lines were one of only three teams that could

529
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: not turn down an invitation from the acclaimed sports documentary

530
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: series follows NFL teams throughout training camp. Panthers and the

531
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: Jets were also in line. But guess what the Lines

532
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 1: are good? Pick Greggy why Because Dan Campbell's involved. That's

533
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: a perfect Hard Knocks personality. The Lions another team with

534
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: a great friend fan base, downtrodden looking to rise up.

535
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: I think this will be good. I think it'll be amazing.

536
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: I think his staff is great. It's not just him,

537
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: it's a good group of coaches under them and I

538
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: and I want a team that I want to root for,

539
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: and I feel like they're a team that a lot

540
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: of people can root for. Rachel Bonetta, our our colleague,

541
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: was searching for a new team Browns fan. She's kind

542
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: of putting that out there on her podcast bench with

543
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 1: and I was, I think the Lions. That's a good one.

544
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: Go from the Browns of the Lions be there on

545
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: the ground floor. It feels fresh because, you know, I

546
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: get annoyed when like when it was the Cowboys. Everyone

547
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: likes the Cowboys, and I understand why. It's a huge,

548
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 1: you know, way to go with Hard Knocks, But I

549
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: want to learn about teams I don't know as much about,

550
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: and there's this is this is a completely different situation.

551
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: I think the Campbell and the whole rest of the

552
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 1: crew will make it um. I'm more interested in this

553
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks than like the last four or five in

554
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: a row. Well plus Jared Goff on Hard Knocks for

555
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 1: a third time. Let's see if he knows where the

556
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: sun rises? Fourth, if you include all or nothing as

557
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: like an NFL properly a lot of golf? Like does

558
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: he does he still have the golf thing? You know

559
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: where he hits the golf? Well, that was to live there.

560
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: I don't know his California ready, I will. Let's say

561
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: that Kevin Patra, who we're a big fan of. He's

562
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: been on the show many times. He's a grinder on

563
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: the round. The NFL Blogs is still a blog, the

564
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: news arm of NFL dot com. Patrick is leading the

565
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: way over there. He wrote the things to watch for

566
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks so Land this morning, and I'm thinking to myself, now,

567
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: I've been the Hard Knocks writer for a decade on

568
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: this website. Maybe it's Patrick's time, maybe starting with the Lions.

569
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: Wouldn't he be a good person to write about this?

570
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: I think he'd be great. But so that that article

571
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: happened without you being consulted, I think they're already telling

572
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: you might be time. Maybe maybe it's out of my

573
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: hands entirely. We'll find out anyway. Let's take a break

574
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back. Time now for news and

575
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: notes presented by up work, where you can build the

576
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: team that will build your business. Learn more at upwork

577
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: dot com. All Right. On Sunday, Giant CEO John Marris

578
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: said the team is not quote actively shopping Sae Kwon Barkley. Uh.

579
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: They have this running back that they drafted number two

580
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: overall back in injuries of really sidetracked his career, and

581
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: the Giant it's obviously greg Or not a team that's

582
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: close to contention, So why would you have Barkley around?

583
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: They would They would trade him in a second if

584
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: they can, if they could, right, Yeah, I think if

585
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: they got the right offer. But maybe we've learned this

586
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: offseason that they're not just going to give him up

587
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: for a sixth round pick, like you might as well

588
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: just keep him. This was the time of year I

589
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: remember at the owners meeting when the O B J

590
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: from the Giants to elsewhere, which turned out to be Cleveland,

591
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: started popping up. So this is a time of year

592
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: where you you do see some lower level trades. He

593
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: also mentioned James Or There was a report rather from

594
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: ESPN teams James Bradberry will be traded, like they've kind

595
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: of made it clear to him and they're just hoping,

596
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: I think, to get a better offer around draft time.

597
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: But it sounded like with Barkley they might realize they're

598
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: not really getting much, so you might as well keep him.

599
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: But it's just a classic. You know, Dave Gettlman had

600
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: his guys, new GM, new coach. These aren't our guys,

601
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: and and they're clearing capram and you know they have

602
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: twenty there's a twenty one million dollar cap hit on

603
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: James Bradberry. He was a good player, he was a

604
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: Gettleman guy, but they can save it by moving them on.

605
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: So it's like, even though he's a good player, it's

606
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: like new like they're cleaning the books up and things

607
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: good change with bark Quan too. I feel like whether

608
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: it would be in August, I have a sneak draft weekend,

609
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: I think he could still get I have a sneaking

610
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: just a feeling that that sequon Barkley is not going

611
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: to be a giant and weak one and I'm not

612
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: totally doubting his ability to be a high level running

613
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: back again. I know he looked the steps slow last year.

614
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: But it's been a tough couple of years. Maybe you

615
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: never come back. Maybe it's a Todd Gurley type situation.

616
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: But I would like to see him in a healthier

617
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: situation with the better offensive line and better quarterback player.

618
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll see it though. That was News

Speaker 1: other news, the Chiefs are It's life after Tyreek Hill.

622
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: About that. Yeah, we missed you for that. Yeah that

623
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: was a bummer. You know, I thought i'd be in

624
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: the clear for Blockbuster raising. Sure enough, one of the

625
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: great playmakers of his generation gets moved in a Blockbuster deal.

626
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: You have to read Jigger power ranking. While at Disneyland,

627
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: I was online for It's a Small World, and I'm

628
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: cranking out a copy for the Dolphins and the Chiefs

629
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: and the biggest of all spots. It's awful some vacation anyway.

630
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are scrambling. They won't say they're scrambling, say

631
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: it's all part of the plan. They made a decision.

632
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: So they've signed Marquez Valdes Scantling formerly the Packers three

633
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: years thirty million. Well, these white Outs are getting eighteen

634
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: million comes in the first two years, so that's real money.

635
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: That's uh, that money. That seems like a lot of

636
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: money for Scantling after you decided you wouldn't pay reach

637
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: the price point for Tyreek Hill. Uh. They also come

638
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: to terms with former first round pick of the Bucks,

639
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones on a deal. So the offense obviously gonna

640
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: look different Mark without Tyreek killing. You just wonder what

641
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: moves could be next for them. I mean, the money

642
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: is telling me that their bang keen on MVS and

643
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: his speed playing that Hyreek Hill role and along with

644
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: a combination of other people, because you've got to somehow

645
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: find a way. It's not only replaced the numbers, which

646
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: were a hundred and eleven catches last year for plus

647
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: yards and nine touchdowns, but the type of player that

648
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill was, and if you go watch MVS, I

649
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: mean he does have that speed. Next Gen Stats records

650
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: him as the only player that topped Tyreek Hills speed

651
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: over the last two seasons, and it happened on one play.

652
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: But there were a couple of um deep shots last

653
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: year where he worked really well with Aaron Rodgers and

654
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: you just trust that Patrick Mahomes will make any wide

655
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: receiver better than be in almost any other offense except

656
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: maybe Green Bay, right. I I think that the Chiefs

657
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: wanted to shake things up, that at least that was

658
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: part of the equation. Like Andy Reid has been doing

659
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: this a long time, Patrick Mahomes obviously they've they've been

660
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: together now a while. This group was together a while,

661
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: and not that like Andy Reid needs new inspiration, but

662
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: he need He knew things had to change. They kind

663
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: of were running back the same offense and it was

664
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: too diminishing returns. Nate Tyson, who we like on the show,

665
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 1: we've had had an interesting Twitter thread about he thinks

666
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: they're going to change what they do in terms of

667
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,919
Speaker 1: their concepts not but not like being basic, but more

668
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 1: drop back passing, less rpo um, some wide receivers who

669
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: can block in juju and mvs and just like changing

670
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: it up, because I I think you do poorly when

671
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: you doubt Andy Reid's ability to reinvent himself. He always

672
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: finds a way to maximize players and and I don't

673
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: know if it was a personal thing. Once Tyreek Hill

674
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: started really wanting that Davante Adams money that they were

675
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 1: just like, maybe maybe now is the time because they

676
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,399
Speaker 1: were willing to pay him. But I think there's something

677
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 1: that they were just like, okay, nothing personal, but it's

678
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: just like ready for a change. Let's let's see, like

679
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: let's see everyone doubt us without Tyree, but not to

680
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: say that what they were doing wasn't working. It's like,

681
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: I get it, and that's you have to do that stuff.

682
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: But I mean, Davante Adams got envous this job because

683
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: that triggered the Hill contract that want to deal with

684
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 1: and now MVS is his his replacement. He got Tyreek

685
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 1: Hill moved to the Dolphins into right, you know, It's

686
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: just it's all connected, And yeah, I guess I do

687
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: trust their team building ability to they did feel like

688
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and not just saying well, it's kind of

689
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: tough to say. Again a so strange way their season

690
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: ended because they were completely unstoppable against the Bills, completely

691
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: unstoppable for the better part of two quarters in the

692
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: NFC Championship Game, and then it all went to hell.

693
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,280
Speaker 1: But if you want to look at the bigger picture,

694
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: the last two years, they haven't been quite the same

695
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: as they were during those early peak Mahomes years. Uh so,

696
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 1: maybe it is time to shake up bringing some new players.

697
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: I'm with you, guys, We'll see, but you're still giving

698
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: up again. Tyreek Hill not gonna be labor this because

699
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: you guys hit it last week. That is one of

700
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: the great playmakers in the last thirty years in the

701
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: NFL wide receiver. It's like a Hall of Fame level stud. Anyway,

702
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: maybe it works out. Moving on, the Eagles doing some

703
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,399
Speaker 1: business here, Kaisier White, the linebacker, signs a one year,

704
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:08,720
Speaker 1: five million dollar deal after a breakoute with the Chargers. Also,

705
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: the Eagles resigned Derk Barnett to a two year contract. Um.

706
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 1: He is not a guy that puts up mots and numbers,

707
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: but he fills a role for them. And I just

708
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: want to do one quick correction. Ronald Jones was a

709
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: second round back, not a first rounder. You more a

710
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 1: perfectionist and a showman. I could totally see Ronald Jones

711
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: like he will have one primetime game where he has

712
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixteen yards including a seventy yard touchdown,

713
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 1: and everyone's like and near he had did it again

714
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 1: and like a ton But he'll do it at least once.

715
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: I I love the Kaisier White movie. He was just

716
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: one of my favorite free agent linebackers. I think he

717
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: was one of Brandon Stanley's favorite players. He was quoted

718
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: Monday saying like this is the first time where the

719
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: business of the NFL and the personal side of it

720
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: really hurts, because this was a guy like I really

721
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: loved his development, loved what he did for us, but

722
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,280
Speaker 1: it just didn't make sense, uh, for for them anymore.

723
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: Which you know, I would feel bad if I was

724
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: Brian Bulaga or someone else that they like cut this

725
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 1: off seasons, like, oh, this is the first time. I

726
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 1: guess you were just totally cool firing me. Had a

727
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: great season last year, and I mean, you know, the

728
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: Eagles probably could still draft a linebacker. It's a definite

729
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: need for them, but they're getting him at age twenty six.

730
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: He's a great coverage linebacker, and I think it's a

731
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,919
Speaker 1: great signing for them. Good back to you, Dan, good

732
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 1: input Mark in broadcasting news. Now I met the NFL

733
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: on Fox. You can put that in post. I like this.

734
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:49,280
Speaker 1: I like this makes it makes you think a Fox

735
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:55,320
Speaker 1: for sure. I was looking for NFL on Fox. But

736
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: the whole oscars, you know it all it all ties

737
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: in all right, we'll figure it out in post. Here

738
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: we go. We know the game of musical chairs that's

739
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 1: been going on both in the NFL but also in

740
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: the broadcasting ranks. And Fox how to make a move

741
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: after they lost both Troy Aikman and Joe Buck to

742
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: various enterprises, so they make a move. Next man up,

743
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: Kevin Burkhardt, the number the number two NFL played by

744
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 1: play announcer at Fox last season, is the successor to

745
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: Joe Buck. According to our man Andrew Marshaun, who is

746
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: killing it well, it's got a lot of material to

747
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 1: work with this every time there is he's been on

748
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 1: the forefront, right, and I totally connot who is Let's say, look,

749
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 1: look you got Schefter and Wrath report and they're always

750
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 1: going at it. Right with Marsian, It's just like it's

751
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: Marcion or Marsian. He owns that corner and he does

752
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: an excellent job, and he's he went to the same

753
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: college that I went to for about six months at

754
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: the college and and fair in his uh of college

755
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,240
Speaker 1: student in the last thirty years went to a college

756
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: that you went to because you went to so many

757
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 1: I kept transferring over and over to the high annoyance

758
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: of my family. They keep dripping out this news though.

759
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: It's like, we don't know who is playback play guy.

760
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: I mean his college. I think Olson Scott's probably the

761
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: leader in the clubhouse, but maybe there's different people angling.

762
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 1: You know. Supposedly they tried to approached Tom Brady uh

763
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: for that job, but he wasn't interested a couple of

764
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: months ago. I wonder why I'm not annoyed though, to

765
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,240
Speaker 1: be honest, because I think we all agree Burkhardt is awesome,

766
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: and we during Corona times, we interviewed him, um in

767
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: our remote locations and and I, you know, I was

768
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: very excited to ask a question of him, and my

769
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 1: sound was not what was was not worth Remember that

770
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 1: I couldn't speak the entire time. We'll have to have him,

771
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: LL have to have him back. I'll have him back

772
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: on my own show speaking to Marshawn. So after the

773
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,919
Speaker 1: Will Smith Chris Rock incident last night, UM, I did

774
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: something that I haven't done since. Like Howard Stern was

775
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 1: on the channel. I flipped on E and I was like,

776
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 1: I gotta check out the post game coverage to this,

777
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: like we gotta I need more info about this situation.

778
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: And it's because these three people I've never seen before,

779
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 1: not surprising, and they're talking about like Beyonce's dress from

780
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: the opening song, and I'm like, whoa, whoa. So I

781
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:19,240
Speaker 1: I tweeted like I needed Andrew marshawn takedown of ease coverage,

782
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: and he quote retweeted, I turned it off pretty quick.

783
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 1: Gotta rip up the rundown. They were off to other topics.

784
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 1: You gotta rip up the run day. You gotta just

785
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 1: be flowing. I saw this thing where they, you know,

786
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: asked all the media present not to ask anything about it, like,

787
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,280
Speaker 1: for instance, Quest Love was up there. He he accepted

788
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: the award right after Chris Rock and and it is

789
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: unfortunate like that, you know a lot of people. It

790
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:48,720
Speaker 1: was unfortunate for them, and how it overshadow that said, uh,

791
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: you know, put Mary Kay Cabot or Tony Grozi in

792
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: that room that Brown's meet. They're asking the question. I

793
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: don't care ask I don't care what. I don't care

794
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: what they say. Before it starts, you gotta ask, like

795
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: and you can ask you in an empathetic way. So,

796
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 1: but that's what you need to hear about. Well, The

797
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 1: Oscars have been a raging snooze fest for um a

798
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: long long time time, and I grew up loving that.

799
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:10,359
Speaker 1: It was my favorite things to watch. It's just been

800
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: a mess. They are back front and center more than

801
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 1: they've ever been. How are you not taking that run

802
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 1: down and throw it in into a fire, like, who

803
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: is the big time reporter over there? Idea? I know

804
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: we lost Joan Rivers. Sometimes you can't really replace Joan

805
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 1: Rivers or you know, Ricky. I mean he's been there, Seacrest, Yeah,

806
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's still there there. Let's imagine

807
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 1: Seacrest is the guy there. Him and Kelly have a

808
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 1: morning show that they were talking about it this morning,

809
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: I think. But that's that's okay, that's you know, that's

810
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:38,800
Speaker 1: the next day. We're all chopping it up, you know,

811
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: around the coffee table. No, but when you are, you're

812
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: in the you're in the you know, the heat right

813
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: there postgame show. He needs somebody, a Seacrest type to

814
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: ask the hard questions that people want to know. That's

815
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: your job as a journal It's a shameful effort by Eve.

816
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: I've been in I was in that room once in

817
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: the Emmy's because I was an NBC page and take

818
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: us through it now had a lot of hard hitting questions.

819
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 1: Not a lot of hard hitting questions to Deborah Messing

820
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 1: after victorious, uh you know her winning for will and grace,

821
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: Not a lot of hard questions. Remember that guy Ross

822
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: that did like Jay Leno show. I think he went

823
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: to E like maybe Ross whatever his name is, He's

824
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,760
Speaker 1: asking the questions this is before your time, before time America.

825
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: I actually do I know who is talking about? That

826
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 1: was also well, I was a page. It was in

827
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 1: that era, Ross little did we know that Greg the page?

828
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: Would you know? Years later deliver powerful speech on the

829
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,280
Speaker 1: music classes in Western New York. Very funny quick story

830
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: Emma worked for. Her first job was a p A

831
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 1: on E and there was like a mysterious cardboard box

832
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: outside on the street and they made her go check.

833
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: Emma so little and like innocent, and they were like, hey, you, like,

834
00:42:55,160 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: can you go check that cardboard? That is an absurd task, dangerous.

835
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: No one will miss you if you're gone. Ross the

836
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,359
Speaker 1: intern his name was Ross Matthews. I mean Matthews has

837
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 1: got to be in there. He's got to be in

838
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 1: the fire. His asses in the Fryer and that's part

839
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: of the gig. Wait, hold on, Erica, what was in

840
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 1: the box? She said, it was just like nothing like

841
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: homeless clothes or act cloth. Was an alarm clock with wires. Yeah,

842
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: it was like raining, and she crossed the street to look.

843
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 1: Finally in the news. Let's compliant. Let's head to the

844
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 1: Kicker Club as we like to do it. It's a

845
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: rainy day in Los Angeles. But guess what people stand

846
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: in the rain to get in through the velvet ropes.

847
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 1: And Greg's rline has a job. Greg the Leg, as

848
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: he's known with the New York Jets. He signs with

849
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 1: Gang Green the Jeff previously retained pre agent Eddie pinero U.

850
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a kicking competition. It wasn't Greg

851
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 1: the Leg. I don't know. We'll see narrable season last year.

852
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:00,320
Speaker 1: Do you remember me telling you was gonna cost the

853
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 1: Cowboys at some point in the dramatic way. Well, it

854
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 1: was like weeks later than Jerry Jones acknowledged, like, we

855
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 1: have to change the way that we're operating on offense

856
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,720
Speaker 1: because Greg the Leg has a leg that's not getting

857
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: us there. But he did back he is coming off

858
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: back surgery last year. So she just put a lot

859
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 1: at Greg zero Lin's feet for the failure of the Cowboys. Yeah,

860
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: six extra points and them just he was a mess

861
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: last year for the game Boys. He was a mess. Um.

862
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: Yeah the Jets. Uh, I feel like the Jets have

863
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: had some Swington miss this here not zero line, but

864
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 1: as a Jets fan, how did the whole Tyreek Hill report? Um,

865
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:42,800
Speaker 1: it's nice to be back in the Kicker club, but

866
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: it is. Hey, listen, he's a former first team All Pro.

867
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 1: But you know who I'd rather have somebody we had

868
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: like a decade ago, Nick Folk. I was just still

869
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: at the Folk hero, right, I mean at this point

870
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: Nick Folk is absolutely the Patriots biggest offseeing off season

871
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 1: signing and probably one of their best players. Thing that's

872
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 1: a little bit troubling too. Did you did you see

873
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: Bellichick by the way talking about how great it is

874
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 1: that Joe Judge and his new offensive genius, Uh, Patricia

875
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 1: are ready to rock this year. I do like that

876
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: everyone now is making jokes about the Patriots offensive staff.

877
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 1: It's down to two people. It's just Patricia and Judge.

878
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 1: It's and there is something kind of it's putting them

879
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: in a spot where they're they're being doubted. Let's hear

880
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 1: from Bill. We've had a lot of coaches take multiple responsibilities.

881
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: I'm not really worried about that. I think a good

882
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 1: coach is a good coach, and that's a great coach.

883
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 1: Joe is a great coach. Bill help us no matter

884
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 1: what position that coach. But can you wait? He sounds

885
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: like a little bit like Philip Seymour Hoffman. There can

886
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: you hear the top of that? Again, We've had a

887
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: lot of coaches take multiple right, don't take a good coach?

888
00:45:55,640 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 1: Can you come outside? But I absolutely believe Bill Belichick

889
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: from that statement is, Uh, he's not worried about it.

890
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:05,880
Speaker 1: I think he is at the point of his career.

891
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 1: He is not worried. He cares, but he's not worried

892
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 1: about Think Patricia though, It's like, but I'm doing like

893
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 1: eight times more work for the same amount of money

894
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 1: as if you had gotten a bunch of other you know,

895
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 1: ham and Eggers. I could pass off assignments on now

896
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 1: I have to do. I think he should be Patricia

897
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: should be happy. I was gonna say, what would Matt

898
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: Patricia be doing if Bill Belichick wasn't around. He'd probably

899
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 1: be an offensive or defensive line coach like in Jacksonville

900
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 1: right now, right right, But he's doing way. I'm just

901
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 1: focusing on the fact that he says do a lot

902
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,320
Speaker 1: more work. That seems um he would. I would be

903
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: agitated if I were him. M. That's what's happening in

904
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 1: the news. Do you have a little developing that's just

905
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: the check. Um, he's also had a gun going here.

906
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: The league didn't update and announced changes to the Rooney rule.

907
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 1: First of all, they're they're keeping it. There was some

908
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: taco getting rid of it. No, they're strengthening in it.

909
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 1: They're now requiring a dive verse hire to be an

910
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,800
Speaker 1: offensive assistant coach, which with each team, so either a

911
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: minority or a woman would also qualify. So they are

912
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: expanding it. And they're also saying, uh, women will be

913
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: added to every requirement of the Rooney rules. Good. Obviously

914
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 1: it needs to be uh continue to be. That rule

915
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: has to evolve and and get I guess better. It

916
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:28,800
Speaker 1: needs to work better than it has so, especially offensive

917
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 1: coaches like that's there's not a lot of like offensive coordinate.

918
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 1: It can't be zoom interviews for any of these interesting

919
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,879
Speaker 1: and They also said interviewing two women for head coach

920
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 1: would satisfy the Rooney rule because just trying to figure

921
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 1: out how that I'll mixes it if you're curious, so

922
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:50,880
Speaker 1: that eliminating. That's a very sentiment and it's you know,

923
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 1: I guess it says, so you're not checking a box

924
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,720
Speaker 1: with a video conversation. But if you're still not serious

925
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 1: about hiring candidate and you you are checking box, now

926
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 1: you're making that at it. Get on a plane, checking

927
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,759
Speaker 1: at a hotel, go through the whole process, at least

928
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 1: with the zoom like you weren't. Don't insult me by

929
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 1: like making me uproot my life. Here's what I think

930
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 1: it's actually more effective. It's the difference of being on

931
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 1: zoom versus being in a room with someone and understanding

932
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 1: who they are and getting a better feel for them.

933
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 1: You're giving them a real chance, give them a real

934
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: that's the most important thing. I actually give them a

935
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 1: real chance. In the conversation. The whole thing has been

936
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 1: a mess. And like they, but they I like. I

937
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 1: like some of these tweaks because I don't like the

938
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 1: idea of the zoom meeting, which was just as you say,

939
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: checking a box and they're not taking it seriously at all.

940
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: But Mike Tomlin, you know, I think was well said

941
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,359
Speaker 1: when he said he's been very involved in all these

942
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 1: committees and different things over the years, and he doesn't

943
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 1: have that much hope, you know, for changing too much,

944
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: because it hasn't. Because I think the the at a

945
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: league level, and I really believe this from Roger Goodell.

946
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 1: I think they're trying to do what they can on

947
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 1: a league level, but it comes down to owners, and

948
00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:01,800
Speaker 1: the owners have shown no particular inclination to change their behavior.

949
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:04,919
Speaker 1: They're not a transformative group, that is for sure. That's

950
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 1: what's happening in the news. All right, everybody, hold right there,

951
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a break. We'll be right back. All right.

952
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 1: Before we say goodbye, Let's check in on what's going

953
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 1: on with the free agents list. UM and you're right,

954
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,719
Speaker 1: like the Graybeards is a roster of all thirty and over,

955
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 1: like Erica, thirty and over UM players, and there are

956
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 1: a lot out there right on that UM, right on

957
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 1: that precipice that are looking for jobs. This way it

958
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: is every year. You know, you don't want to be

959
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 1: on the in that age range because teams figure or

960
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 1: think of ways to build a team without you. So

961
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 1: let's go through some of these players that are still

962
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: out there and um maybe find a fit for them. Greg,

963
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: let us going, all right, I'm gonna start with one

964
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 1: that might be controversial in this room. How about trading

965
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, still sitting out there. I know it's not

966
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 1: a free agent fit, but I don't care. Yeah, I'm

967
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 1: throwing this out just because it's got some juice. Because

968
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 1: I was thinking, where can Jimmy g go? I wanted

969
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,919
Speaker 1: to start here. How about the New York Jet? How

970
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 1: about Jimmy Garoppolo at some point being the fail safe

971
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 1: for Zack Wilson. This team needs to win there obviously

972
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 1: back in Zack with everything that they can and want,

973
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 1: But in case it doesn't go well, I have someone

974
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,319
Speaker 1: who I think fits well in that system. You get

975
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 1: him at a discount price, You get an adult in

976
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 1: the room I think can help him out too. I

977
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 1: think it makes some sense. Joe Flacco is an adult

978
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:39,359
Speaker 1: in the room. I know you're not a Flacco guy,

979
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:42,880
Speaker 1: but I'm saying he is a proven Super Bowl forgot,

980
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: a long time starter. But he's also not anybody's idea

981
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 1: of someone who could step in and really take your

982
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 1: team to any level of success at this stage in

983
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,360
Speaker 1: his career. Um, I I hear where you're at, and

984
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 1: I understand the doubts because I've had them too. Wilson's

985
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 1: Jack Wilson's rookie season was very uh up and down,

986
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 1: mostly down. So you wanna build in some security and

987
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 1: if you're Joe Douglas, perhaps yes, that would be a

988
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 1: smart way to go about trying to save your job

989
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,320
Speaker 1: because he can't. He can't have another four and thirteen.

990
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 1: That's what I mean. I just mean it's it's a

991
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 1: win now league, it's a win now world. They are

992
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 1: in win now. I don't believe that having a good

993
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 1: number two like Jimmy g is going to make Zach

994
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 1: Wilson play better or worse. And so I just think

995
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 1: they need to prevent any situation where it goes south

996
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:33,840
Speaker 1: this year because I think they have a rafter that

997
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 1: can compete. I like it. It's it's tough with the

998
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 1: Jets because all these a FC teams, including now the Dolphins,

999
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:43,759
Speaker 1: are getting better. And while I think that they've had

1000
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:47,760
Speaker 1: a smart offseason, you know the fact that they weren't

1001
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 1: able to get Marcus Williams. They weren't able to get

1002
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones. They were hot on both those guys, and

1003
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:55,399
Speaker 1: then they came so close it seemed entyree kill even

1004
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 1: with an agreement of a trade. That's three big swings

1005
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 1: and mrs getting guys that really could help the roster

1006
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 1: a lot. And I think all of this is like

1007
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:07,360
Speaker 1: putting more It's putting more and more pressure a on

1008
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:09,799
Speaker 1: this draft class, which is a crapshoot in any year.

1009
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 1: Um and be everything ultimately does go back to Zac

1010
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 1: Wilson because I think, yeah, people get fired if he

1011
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 1: has a bad second season. To that point, I think

1012
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 1: the Jets obviously showed their hand with the Tyre Hill situation.

1013
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,840
Speaker 1: They say, we don't want to use one of those

1014
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:28,879
Speaker 1: draft picks on a young wide receiver. We wanted an

1015
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:34,839
Speaker 1: established star. Um. We saw Seattle GM John Schneider uh

1016
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:36,880
Speaker 1: say that he was shocked at what the wide receiver

1017
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,759
Speaker 1: prices are at right now. Alright, So now that they've

1018
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:43,840
Speaker 1: shown their hand, Joe Douglas be aggressive and offer a

1019
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 1: deal for DK Metcalf to come to the Jets at

1020
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 1: years old. He is an excellent fallback. In fact, when

1021
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 1: you factor in the age of the player involved and

1022
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 1: the background of the player involved. I would prefer Metcalf

1023
00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: over tyreek Hill, and I went what would be the

1024
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 1: trade parameters? So I actually thought about this. The Vikings

1025
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:06,960
Speaker 1: Bills Stefan Diggs trade is a very good judge on this.

1026
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:09,359
Speaker 1: So what if the Jets and the they have two

1027
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 1: first round picks four and ten um, what if they

1028
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: set the tenth overall pick in two fourth round picks

1029
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 1: to Seattle from Metcalf and a fifth rounder that is

1030
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:21,360
Speaker 1: very similar to the Diggs trade. I think Diggs and

1031
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 1: Metcalf are at similar places when Diggs was traded. Is

1032
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 1: that something you think Seattle would be into because I

1033
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:29,839
Speaker 1: think they would because I think they see themselves as

1034
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 1: maybe a long term build at this point. John Schneider's comments,

1035
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 1: you know, he's pretty honest. It seems like he'll tell

1036
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:39,400
Speaker 1: you what he thinks. Uh, just to me broadcast and

1037
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:41,879
Speaker 1: telecast the concept that this is not a player they

1038
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 1: are ready to throw a ton of money at, even

1039
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:46,319
Speaker 1: though they like him. I mean, Pete Carroll glowed about him,

1040
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 1: and we all get that he's great, But this is

1041
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 1: a franchise at a strange point in time right now.

1042
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 1: I think they would make that trade. Yeah, that comment

1043
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:57,279
Speaker 1: was strange because it came on the heels of some

1044
00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:02,720
Speaker 1: whispers about DK Metcalf where there are teams maybe poking

1045
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 1: around seeing who could be the next one. Whether A J.

1046
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 1: Brown is another name that you've heard a little bit

1047
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 1: like could he potentially be on the move? That makes

1048
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,759
Speaker 1: less sense to me. I I don't understand why the

1049
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 1: Seahawks would be trading d K, but it sounds like

1050
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,439
Speaker 1: it's a possibility. Weight like that. They didn't just come

1051
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:24,439
Speaker 1: from these quotes. I think that offer would get it done. Dan.

1052
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 1: I mean the fact that they weren't offering one of

1053
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 1: their first round picks for Tyreek Hill was interesting. They

1054
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: were offering two seconds, the two high seconds and some

1055
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 1: extra uh indicates maybe they weren't. They're not gonna be

1056
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 1: willing to give up that high pick. I think if

1057
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 1: they were, I think they'd get him. And I think

1058
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 1: it makes some sense those two second round picks, the

1059
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 1: Jets of two in the first ten picks of the

1060
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:49,799
Speaker 1: second round um at thirty five, four and thirty eight.

1061
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 1: I believe that's incredibly valuable to GMS because you're getting

1062
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:56,319
Speaker 1: a high caliber prospect and you don't have to give

1063
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 1: him the first round pick contracts. So maybe, yeah, maybe

1064
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 1: it's two for whatever it is. I think it makes sense.

1065
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 1: And we do know that John Schneider and Joe Douglas

1066
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 1: have a working relationship because they pulled the trigger on

1067
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 1: the Jamal Adams deal. So keep an eye on it.

1068
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 1: Mark something John Schneider might want to not be in

1069
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 1: a relationship with with that general manager after what happened

1070
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 1: with that trade. But we'll see. Um. All right, this

1071
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 1: is me more. Here's a trade that I would just

1072
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 1: like to see. I I think it's complex and maybe

1073
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 1: overly complex because of the dead money attached to it.

1074
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:31,719
Speaker 1: But there have been little whispers and little rumors that

1075
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey could be moved in time, and I would

1076
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:38,400
Speaker 1: love to see him traded to the Buffalo Bills. You

1077
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 1: moved Devin Singletary or someone else in reverse, and suddenly

1078
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 1: you pair Josh Allen with Christian McCaffrey in the backfield

1079
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,760
Speaker 1: and they are utterly unstoppable. That's scary. It's a scary

1080
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:51,440
Speaker 1: thought if you're a Panthers fans. At what point do

1081
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:56,240
Speaker 1: you just start feeling like you're the lower level version

1082
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:58,440
Speaker 1: of the Bills that you're just you're kind of the

1083
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 1: minor league Bills, and the whole point of your existence

1084
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 1: is to help out the Bills franchise like the big club,

1085
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 1: like their Triple A, and the Bills are the real team.

1086
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 1: That would that would be a tough one to swallow

1087
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 1: if you're a Panthers fan, although I there's something to it. Well.

1088
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 1: I could see them moving McCaffrey the Jimmy, I mean

1089
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,400
Speaker 1: the Jimmy g thing too. You mentioned it with the

1090
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 1: Niners and the and the Jets. Like, man, why would

1091
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 1: the Panthers getting the Jimmy? I think they might. They

1092
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 1: could make some sense later in the office. I don't

1093
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:27,320
Speaker 1: think anyone's in a hurry because he's he has a surgery,

1094
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:29,279
Speaker 1: so it's like his price tag is only going to

1095
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:32,799
Speaker 1: go down, uh, and he's coming off an injury. The

1096
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 1: Panthers and the Falcons might be in the two worst spots.

1097
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 1: I feel like present and future of any two teams

1098
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:44,280
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and the Panthers are Something about the Panthers,

1099
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: it feels a little hopeless right. Their planet quarterback has

1100
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:50,839
Speaker 1: been um orchestrated about as poorly as you could even

1101
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 1: two years ago, and they're just like Baker. It's like,

1102
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 1: maybe reconsider that if if you are getting close to

1103
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:01,640
Speaker 1: having Sam Donald b your starting quarterback, they've already talked

1104
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:03,840
Speaker 1: about having mutual disinterest. I don't know, it seems like

1105
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 1: a tough way to start the relationship. I'm gonna go

1106
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 1: with a free agent. How about OH b J? To

1107
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 1: the cults, I really think players are undervalued when they're

1108
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 1: coming off these serious knee injuries, and there's something to

1109
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 1: just about two or three years. I get it, but

1110
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 1: there's something too not offering the one year deal so

1111
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 1: he can like bet on himself and make the money

1112
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 1: that do something in between. Give him some real guaranteed money.

1113
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 1: Make it a three year deal. He's not gonna make

1114
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 1: anywhere close to a top level receiver money. But maybe

1115
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:40,640
Speaker 1: it's more like in the number two area. You know,

1116
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 1: it's more than MBS is making, for instance, and it's

1117
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 1: a good deal for both sides. Maybe it's just like

1118
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 1: a two year deal like that, where where O b J.

1119
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:50,560
Speaker 1: You get more guaranteed money, but you're with us for

1120
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 1: two years and you're getting a really talented player into

1121
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:57,040
Speaker 1: your building. They still have a ton of cap space,

1122
00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 1: and the Colts just feel like they have a major

1123
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:02,840
Speaker 1: needs and he's the wide receiver that's out there that

1124
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 1: can upgrade your team without having to give up a

1125
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:08,919
Speaker 1: draft pick for Ricky's doing some sleuthing behind the glass. Yeah,

1126
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 1: so o b J tweeted Um a little bit ago,

1127
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago. Last week random thought, Bro,

1128
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:16,960
Speaker 1: I really think Matt Ryan to the Colts was actually fire.

1129
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 1: I think Bro will elevate and do some special over there.

1130
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 1: So he's he's sort of feeling that too. He's not

1131
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 1: tweeting that about all those other now he's saying, signed me,

1132
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 1: pay me, pay me a Coults because whatever, the Rams,

1133
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure want him back. But he knows that he's

1134
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:35,320
Speaker 1: not going to be the number one or maybe even

1135
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 1: the number two there, and I think he'd be happy

1136
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 1: to go back. But if he can get paid more

1137
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:41,840
Speaker 1: money to go in Indianapolis and be a number one,

1138
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Yeah. I mean. Jordan Rodrigum, who's been

1139
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:47,800
Speaker 1: on the show, who's phenomenal with the Rams, tweeted about

1140
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 1: an hour ago that the Rams the hope desire is

1141
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 1: for him to actually return to the Rams, but they

1142
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 1: want to see you know, what's going on with the

1143
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 1: injury hasn't been done yet, but it's still been like

1144
00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 1: he wants to go to the Rams too, but it's

1145
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 1: it felt like a perfect fit. Um. Alright, Lenny talks.

1146
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:10,040
Speaker 1: Let's speaking of money talking money talked, Well, it wasn't

1147
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,640
Speaker 1: just money, it was the need to be with Derek

1148
00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:17,560
Speaker 1: carr On on a molecular level for Davante Adams. So

1149
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 1: he left the Packers, uh, and he left a huge

1150
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 1: hole with that team. And we talked about how, yes

1151
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 1: they can the Packers, now armed with additional cap space

1152
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 1: and UH draft picks, can end up building a perhaps

1153
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:31,560
Speaker 1: some more balanced wide receiver group. And I do look

1154
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:34,160
Speaker 1: at it now, and I'm just looking at our old

1155
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 1: friends at our lads dot Com, Juwan Winfrey, Alan Lazard, Randall,

1156
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 1: Cob Marii Rogers, Rico Gafford, Malique Talent. These are all

1157
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:46,000
Speaker 1: guys that are on their wide receiver depth chart. They

1158
00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 1: do need somebody. I hesitate to say this because I

1159
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 1: do not like this player. I don't like his attitude.

1160
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 1: I don't like what he's done both off the field

1161
00:59:56,120 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 1: and on the field. But Antonio Brown, oh oh damn,

1162
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 1: he can still play. He could absolutely still play that

1163
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:08,960
Speaker 1: carries a lot of weight in our league, and the

1164
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:11,920
Speaker 1: Packers could look at him as someone that could, you know,

1165
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 1: give them a much needed weapon at a depressed value.

1166
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 1: Because he was such a jackass at the end of

1167
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 1: his run with Tampa Bay. Now that might be obviously

1168
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 1: a reason to stay away from him. And if you

1169
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 1: tell me Antonio Brown's NFL career is finally over from

1170
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 1: his assorted acts of jackass three, I would believe you.

1171
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I'd be surprised a team

1172
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 1: is going to take a chance on him. Why not

1173
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 1: be a team that's a contender that needs somebody. I

1174
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:38,440
Speaker 1: don't know, did you see the video of him circulating?

1175
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 1: I don't know when it was, but it was circulating

1176
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 1: this weekend where he saw a bald guy down in

1177
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 1: Miami and he thought it was pit Bull and he

1178
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 1: like went off to him and he's like, really love

1179
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:49,360
Speaker 1: your music. Man. It was like, oh my god, it

1180
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 1: was amazing. Yeah. I didn't put him on the top

1181
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 1: one oh one because I just think he you can't

1182
01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 1: sign him anymore. I mean you you probably shouldn't even

1183
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 1: couldn't have. I mean, West giving teams a lot of credit,

1184
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:04,000
Speaker 1: right now I'm saying, I'm saying I don't think it's

1185
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 1: a good idea for any team to sign him, so

1186
01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 1: that one who won is my team. I think it's

1187
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 1: I think it's a bad idea for any team to

1188
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:14,520
Speaker 1: sign him in any situation because he's not He's gonna

1189
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 1: it's just have to believe him when he's telling you

1190
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 1: who he is. You know, well, they don't know. I

1191
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:22,520
Speaker 1: don't think anyone believes him at all at this point.

1192
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 1: But if maybe, if you're a contender in November, sign

1193
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:29,160
Speaker 1: him then, Like, I don't like the idea. Just remember

1194
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 1: the hard knocks with him in the Raiders I mean

1195
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 1: he he took that franchise and like tore them. I

1196
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:38,120
Speaker 1: mean I would just say, you want him on your

1197
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:40,440
Speaker 1: around your team for as little as possible in the

1198
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 1: off season. You plug him in when the games it's

1199
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:45,920
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any situation. I really, when you

1200
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 1: leave the field throwing, you know, with your shirt off,

1201
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 1: and it's Tom Brady, it's the defending super Bowl champion,

1202
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:56,400
Speaker 1: files that you that you you know, we're successful with

1203
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 1: the year. It's just he won a super Bowl the year.

1204
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 1: That's what I mean. I don't think I think at

1205
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:03,440
Speaker 1: that point everyone has to look at It's like we

1206
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:08,400
Speaker 1: can't do anything. But I'm just say of giving jackasses

1207
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:11,240
Speaker 1: second chances. I get it. But Okay, we know we

1208
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:13,920
Speaker 1: know that we know what teams don't care about. You know,

1209
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 1: we know they don't care about like what DeShawn Watson

1210
01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 1: did or what you do off the field. I think

1211
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:21,680
Speaker 1: the only things they care about are can they help

1212
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 1: us win? And do they like football? Like? Do they

1213
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 1: care about their job like? I think those are the

1214
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 1: only two things that they care about at all. They

1215
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:33,439
Speaker 1: don't care about anything moral. And I think Antonio Brown

1216
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:35,440
Speaker 1: at this point is kind of proven that the second

1217
01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 1: he doesn't pass the second part, you know he doesn't.

1218
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:40,040
Speaker 1: You're making a lot of sense. But maybe the rule

1219
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:42,040
Speaker 1: of Antonio Brown is you never go a second year.

1220
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:44,240
Speaker 1: Never go second year With Antonio, I think he's a

1221
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:46,760
Speaker 1: higher gun. He's a higher gun late in the year

1222
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:48,960
Speaker 1: or or like when you know your team is real

1223
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 1: but they need somebody now, and maybe they address this

1224
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:55,440
Speaker 1: via trade or a draft pick. But I look at

1225
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:58,000
Speaker 1: that route and it's super Bowl or bust for the Packers.

1226
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 1: We all know that that's not going to cut it.

1227
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 1: And maybe maybe it's enough to get you an NFC

1228
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:05,960
Speaker 1: North title, maybe you'll score enough points, but they need

1229
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 1: to get better on that wide receiver room. But I

1230
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 1: don't want to talk about Brown until the Hall of

1231
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:16,840
Speaker 1: Fame discussion, which will be tiring at that point. Um,

1232
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:19,840
Speaker 1: some of us will be in our fifties. Uh, Like

1233
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:23,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a long time from Yeah, that was

1234
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 1: I was just trying to do the math quickly, like,

1235
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:29,440
Speaker 1: because he's accurate. He's absolutely a Hall of Famer. Uh.

1236
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 1: And there's no question in my mind he's one of

1237
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 1: the greatest wide receivers of all time. You could stop.

1238
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:36,800
Speaker 1: But that's when I want to talk about him next

1239
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 1: In five years, I don't think you're gonna get your Greg.

1240
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:42,960
Speaker 1: I could see him. He's the way that football and

1241
01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:45,360
Speaker 1: like just it seems to be our world works at

1242
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:47,520
Speaker 1: this point. He is an annoying enough character that he's

1243
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 1: certainly going to be back in. That's the thing he

1244
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 1: gave up on the football team. That's what people care about.

1245
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:55,920
Speaker 1: It's not it's not the domestic stuff. It's not how

1246
01:03:56,040 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 1: much of a headache is that. It takes his one

1247
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:04,360
Speaker 1: desperate general manager and coach out there to say, all right,

1248
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:06,439
Speaker 1: he's screwed over Tom Brady and the Bucks. The Bucks

1249
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:08,440
Speaker 1: aren't going to go sign him, but another team might

1250
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:10,760
Speaker 1: and it has to be a strong figure, a quarterback.

1251
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:14,680
Speaker 1: And it's like, well, he's like sitting it out I

1252
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:17,680
Speaker 1: post slam and Tom Brady and stuff. No one gets

1253
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:19,560
Speaker 1: past this. You want to do a sandwich that he's

1254
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:23,280
Speaker 1: in the league in Yeah, I'll do that right. Two.

1255
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:26,640
Speaker 1: So it ends at any point in the season, any

1256
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 1: point in the regular season. I mean, sure, you're not

1257
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 1: gonna sign him. Wait, why not playoffs? Sure, at the playoffs,

1258
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:37,400
Speaker 1: but well, because usually are sandwiches end at the end

1259
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:39,919
Speaker 1: of the regular season, and so it's a sure clean

1260
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:42,160
Speaker 1: break point. I would be very strange that someone signed

1261
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 1: him for the playoffs. It wouldn't be that strange. I mean,

1262
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 1: it could be the difference maker. There could be an

1263
01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:53,000
Speaker 1: injury in late November. We need him, We need him

1264
01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 1: to learn the playbook between the divisional playoffs and the

1265
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:57,760
Speaker 1: a f C title game. This is too much talking

1266
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 1: about Antonio gront How about this one had to be said,

1267
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:05,280
Speaker 1: honey Badger, I really wanted him to go to the Jets,

1268
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:09,160
Speaker 1: but that did not happen. To the Denver Broncos. Why

1269
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:14,080
Speaker 1: is he still in the market. Uh, perhaps, she indicative, Yeah,

1270
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:16,440
Speaker 1: he he clearly didn't get the money that he wanted,

1271
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:19,160
Speaker 1: and that's true for a lot of guys near the

1272
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:23,520
Speaker 1: top of the one oh one and rapped Ian indicated

1273
01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 1: he didn't think now it was going to happen for

1274
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 1: a while, that he wasn't going to be in this

1275
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:29,760
Speaker 1: second wave, that now he's just gonna waited out and

1276
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 1: pick the best team. And he kind of knows the

1277
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 1: deal that he really wanted isn't out there. There's a

1278
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 1: lot of teams that could use him. I didn't listen.

1279
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:39,880
Speaker 1: So you have Justin Simmons. You add him to your defense.

1280
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:41,720
Speaker 1: They don't have a lot else at the position, but

1281
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:43,800
Speaker 1: you can be used in so many different ways. And

1282
01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 1: that team is like looking for guys who can essentially

1283
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:49,720
Speaker 1: just put them over the top in the earliest division football.

1284
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:53,280
Speaker 1: The Ravens and the Patriots who were tied to him

1285
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:57,240
Speaker 1: at first, to me still make some sense. Uh, some

1286
01:05:57,360 --> 01:05:59,360
Speaker 1: of the teams that would have signed and Ravens are

1287
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:02,360
Speaker 1: loaded and has secondary filled their needs. And I'll just oh, yeah,

1288
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:06,480
Speaker 1: not the raven Sorry that was brain. They're good. I'll

1289
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:12,400
Speaker 1: throw one more out there. Gros Um, your boy, Jadeveon Clowney,

1290
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:15,520
Speaker 1: he'll be on the Rams. H He's gonna replace von Miller.

1291
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:20,840
Speaker 1: You got it. Need a secondary pass rusher they need.

1292
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:23,120
Speaker 1: He can still stop the run. He won't be that

1293
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:26,520
Speaker 1: expensive because nobody will ever pay Javan Clowney on a

1294
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:30,120
Speaker 1: big multi year deal. Apparently it feels like a very

1295
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 1: Ramsey move. I mean Bobby Wagner obviously on the radar

1296
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 1: there too. I feel like everyone left that as it

1297
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:38,760
Speaker 1: has a big name, could be a Ramsey type Clowney

1298
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:44,280
Speaker 1: in particular. Doesn't that make sense? Yes, Stefan Gilmore could

1299
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:48,000
Speaker 1: maybe be a Ramsey type type move. They certainly could

1300
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 1: use a second cornerback. I don't know. He really isn't

1301
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:54,200
Speaker 1: getting the money that he thought him returning to the Patriots.

1302
01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 1: I think could make some sense after all of this,

1303
01:06:57,720 --> 01:06:59,440
Speaker 1: that he didn't get the money that he wants. They

1304
01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:02,880
Speaker 1: certainly need a cornerback still, and I think, uh he

1305
01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:05,960
Speaker 1: would be comfortable maybe going back there. I don't know,

1306
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:08,520
Speaker 1: I see you. I'm looking over your shoulder. You haven't

1307
01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:11,040
Speaker 1: going to the Bengals. Uh? Well, I think they could

1308
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:13,400
Speaker 1: use a cornerback. Stuff on Gilmour would would fit. He'd

1309
01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:16,680
Speaker 1: be be plugged right into a Dwayne Brown still out there.

1310
01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:19,120
Speaker 1: He can play Ingram's Melvin Ingram still out there. A

1311
01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:20,960
Speaker 1: lot of good and we kind of speculated this before

1312
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:24,040
Speaker 1: it went down. But I do will full Or joining

1313
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:26,920
Speaker 1: the Browns beefing up that wide receiver group more. He's

1314
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:30,120
Speaker 1: had success to the Shawn Watson that they have the

1315
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:32,680
Speaker 1: room to to add more players. That just makes too

1316
01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 1: much sense not to happen. I think I thought they

1317
01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:37,240
Speaker 1: were definitely gonna draft wide receiver before all this, but

1318
01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:39,040
Speaker 1: now they've been stripped of so many draft picks. The

1319
01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 1: will Fuller totally fits. I think the Patriots and lean

1320
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 1: into this. We don't hide. We're like the mafia. We

1321
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:46,960
Speaker 1: don't bring in anyone from the outside. Bring back Gilmore,

1322
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 1: bring back Trey Flowers, bring back Dante high Tower. It'll

1323
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:56,760
Speaker 1: be like the greatest hits team Umayer of all time.

1324
01:07:56,800 --> 01:07:59,200
Speaker 1: But yes, and then, just just because I'm looking at

1325
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 1: this list, Julio Jones and A. J. Green are both

1326
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 1: free agents. You know, these guys were the wide receivers

1327
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:09,400
Speaker 1: uh during the early era of around the NFL. I

1328
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:12,920
Speaker 1: wonder if either of them it's gonna be struggle for

1329
01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:16,599
Speaker 1: them to find work. I don't. I think they'll both

1330
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:19,599
Speaker 1: be in the league for sure, probably, I wonder how

1331
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:21,880
Speaker 1: long it will take. I think they're just surprised about

1332
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:23,920
Speaker 1: the lack of money that they're getting. But I think

1333
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:26,320
Speaker 1: if I think if they were willing to pay for

1334
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:29,040
Speaker 1: let's say one year three million dollars, there'd be about

1335
01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:31,040
Speaker 1: ten to fifteen teams that would love to happen. But

1336
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:32,920
Speaker 1: it's more of my point the passage of time that

1337
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:36,040
Speaker 1: they're going to take very low guaranteed one year deals.

1338
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:38,840
Speaker 1: Now at we're at that age for them, right, I

1339
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:42,519
Speaker 1: have one last exceeded expectations last year one for six.

1340
01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:46,600
Speaker 1: I have one last DK Metcalf trade scenario. It's not

1341
01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:48,799
Speaker 1: going to happen, but it would be the most dest

1342
01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 1: exact numbers and draft picks like I did for my

1343
01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:57,000
Speaker 1: So it's a lower version of what you produced. But

1344
01:08:57,320 --> 01:09:01,920
Speaker 1: just imagine this DK Metcalf traded to the Titans and

1345
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:04,800
Speaker 1: you get DK Metcalf paired with a J. Brown. I

1346
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:07,559
Speaker 1: would watch that all get the cans on grave digger.

1347
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:11,160
Speaker 1: What are the the what are the prospects of the deal? Again?

1348
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:14,280
Speaker 1: Why excuse me? What are the you know, specifics? I

1349
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:18,960
Speaker 1: don't care about the terms. I mean, we need the terms, graver.

1350
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:22,200
Speaker 1: What should they give up for him? Everything? Everything? A J.

1351
01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:27,080
Speaker 1: Brown and DK Metcalf. But you don't have any cap

1352
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:29,560
Speaker 1: space either, right, what are you gonna do? The restructure

1353
01:09:29,760 --> 01:09:34,479
Speaker 1: you push, you restructure Taylor the One. They've done a

1354
01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:36,960
Speaker 1: lot of that though, yes, and they're right at the

1355
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:39,759
Speaker 1: cat they get bired. They could still do Derrick Henry

1356
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:41,639
Speaker 1: and they could still do Taylor of the One, although

1357
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 1: that would tie them to Taylor the One dead money

1358
01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 1: wise for a couple more years. I think Robert Woods

1359
01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:48,040
Speaker 1: was there the receiver move. What do you think though

1360
01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:50,599
Speaker 1: about the little buzz that A J. Brown could possibly

1361
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:54,160
Speaker 1: possibly available. I think it's extremely unrealistic. I think it's

1362
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:58,519
Speaker 1: very much nonsense. Jon Robinson spoke about it. That's putting

1363
01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:00,679
Speaker 1: it out there. It's it's the jet A Lady Dolf

1364
01:10:00,760 --> 01:10:03,960
Speaker 1: protests to understand why this is even a story. It's like,

1365
01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:06,920
Speaker 1: here's you want to guess that A. J. Brown wants

1366
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:09,640
Speaker 1: that money right now and he's not. And um, he

1367
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:14,720
Speaker 1: has representatives. They're gonna pay him. They're gonna pay him. Okay.

1368
01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 1: I think you know I have a I have a

1369
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:19,080
Speaker 1: neighbor he lives around the corner from me, and that's

1370
01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:24,040
Speaker 1: he's from Tennessee. Shut up and hut, thank you, Paul

1371
01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:27,960
Speaker 1: rudd uh And he said, you know, big Titans man,

1372
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:31,280
Speaker 1: he said, all we need is a decent quarterback and said,

1373
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:35,360
Speaker 1: oh ouch, that just seemed a little Yeah, you have

1374
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:38,400
Speaker 1: a decent quarterback. That's what I think your issue is

1375
01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:40,080
Speaker 1: you want more than a decent Is that how you

1376
01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:45,840
Speaker 1: responded to him? Said oh, just tough and they walked away. No,

1377
01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:49,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. Titans fans are very anti Ryan Tannehill

1378
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:52,200
Speaker 1: right now because that right, I get it, but they

1379
01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:55,040
Speaker 1: were decent, like he to me, he would that would

1380
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:57,360
Speaker 1: be the low bar that he would clear. He liked that,

1381
01:10:57,479 --> 01:11:00,479
Speaker 1: just like poking Grave Digger every week on how he

1382
01:11:00,479 --> 01:11:03,040
Speaker 1: feels about Ryan Tannehill until he breaks he's a fringe

1383
01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:07,320
Speaker 1: top ten quarterback. You should get Grave Digger together with

1384
01:11:07,360 --> 01:11:09,439
Speaker 1: your neighbor who's the Titans fan. I'm sure that that

1385
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:12,000
Speaker 1: would be a good podcast. Well, he keeps firing his

1386
01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:16,280
Speaker 1: co host podcasts the Film Room. He's got an issue

1387
01:11:16,280 --> 01:11:19,680
Speaker 1: with commitment here or with you know who impacting other

1388
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:23,080
Speaker 1: people's commitment. If you look at his personal history and

1389
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:25,960
Speaker 1: his private life. No issue with commitment. He will dive

1390
01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:30,040
Speaker 1: right into commitments, no matter how thorny they may be.

1391
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:33,920
Speaker 1: You gotta look at it that way too. He's driven.

1392
01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:38,040
Speaker 1: When you see an opportunity, you gotta take it. He

1393
01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:41,639
Speaker 1: always adds a little little extra. Oh, I don't want

1394
01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:43,479
Speaker 1: to talk about this like you got. I'm gonna keep

1395
01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:48,439
Speaker 1: dropping everything for her. Thank you, Grave Digger. All right,
