00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast is floating on a dark

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 1: laid Welcome to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast.

3
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: My name is Dan Hansas, and I am coming to

4
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: you from a country filled with heroes. In Bunker's Mark

5
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: Sessler and Greg Rosenthal in Los Angeles, Ricky Hollywood. Also

6
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: it appears in Los Angeles. What's up? Boys and girls?

7
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: Hey Danna, We're back. Welcome back, welcome back. It's good

8
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: to be back a week away. As you can tell

9
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: from my background here on the video stream, I'm back

10
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: in Texas, got the big shuffle board table behind me,

11
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: and I essentially unplugged. Went off the grid in a

12
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:56,279
Speaker 1: lot of ways last week as we turn our attention

13
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: to a completely bizarre UH trainee camp scenario that may

14
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: or may not be happening, and we're gonna get into

15
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: all of that on today's show. But yeah, I went

16
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: fishing yesterday. That was nice. Made a pizza on the

17
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: grill yesterday. So I know this is not an easy

18
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: time for a lot of people. So I don't want

19
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: to brag too much, but it's you know that, what

20
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: is that saying they say you can go to you

21
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: can all go to hell. I'll go to Texas. Sometimes

22
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: that's what it feels like down here at Lake l

23
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: b J. And I do have a little bit of

24
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: guilt about it, to be honest. How about you, Mark,

25
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: what did you do last week? Well? You know, I

26
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: I often UM take issue with you enjoying life more

27
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: than me, but I and this time around, I'm gonna

28
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say I'm happy for you. No, I mean

29
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: I feel I come off that way, and I'm happy

30
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: for you that you found a good situation for the

31
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: family down there. I saw a picture of Jack who

32
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: was in a hammock, looked very comfortable. I think that

33
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: is Um, You've handled it very well, and I'm happy

34
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: for you. I would say my week was I like you,

35
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: I disappeared, UM. I didn't really have a chance to

36
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: put pizzas onto grills and things. But UM, I ate

37
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: some pizza here and there, and I watched a bunch

38
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: of movies. And I'll tell you the other thing I

39
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: did was I held out this little hope that the

40
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: weak sojourn away from UM the podcast would somehow remove

41
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: or wipe away or sanitize all the ugliness that we've

42
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: dealt with for UM essentially months and it didn't do

43
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: a thing. You come back and and it's it's it's

44
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: all still they're waiting for you. So, um, we've got you.

45
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: We're not out of the woods yet. On the offseason front.

46
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: We're in the middle of the woods. So you look

47
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: in all directions and all you see is woods. Well right,

48
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a similar wood situation except adding to that.

49
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: Adding to that is we're gonna have a lot more

50
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: work ultimately. Uh, not that we haven't been working, but

51
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna have more uh coming and trying to get

52
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: marked to run away. We already downs right now. We

53
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: can't lose sel No, no, we can't. Um fishing though,

54
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: I was gonna say fishing underrated, but I guess I

55
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: guess people are kind of on top of that. Fishing

56
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: is great. But as someone who has not experienced fishing much,

57
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: the few times in my life that I want fishing

58
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: um with my wife, I mean it it it it,

59
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: It's underrated. I wish I could do it more. I

60
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: kind of think fishing is properly rated. Um I was.

61
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: I was actually doing it legit where you're you got

62
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: the hook and you're putting bait on it, so you

63
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: when you try to put an earthworm, for instance, onto

64
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: a hook and then it shoots poop on your fingernail

65
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: and you're like, what earthworms poop? What's that? It was unnecessary? Um,

66
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: it's it's like dirt that they're pooping, and it's just

67
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: like what is their quality of life? And then yesterday

68
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: I'm putting live minnows on the on on on the

69
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: hook and I'm just as I grew up in the suburbs,

70
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: but compared to everyone else down here, I'm a city boy.

71
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking about that poor middow. Mark. You know

72
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: you leave that, you leave that vegan lifestyle. When I

73
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: stick a hook through a living minnow to try to

74
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: use it to entice another fish to eat him, what

75
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: are we doing here with the fishing industry? Well, yeah,

76
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: it seems a tad unnecessary, But I I this is

77
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: coming from someone that's spent um long Saturday's putting earthworms

78
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: under like sun through a microscope and watch them squirm.

79
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying recently but as a child, and uh,

80
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: you know, biology comes up to us in many forms.

81
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: So Mark was doing last week just like killing earthworks.

82
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: Well it was last week. Things to do around here, sir, Um,

83
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: how are you, Erica? I'm good, good, refresh, I'm not

84
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: like killing. When you hear that little like click sound,

85
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: that's Erica has the mute button on her mic. She's like,

86
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: can I get through this open without having to pay attention?

87
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: And then the clicks like, oh god, scramble time. No,

88
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: there was a dumpster was getting picked up by the

89
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: garbage truck and I was trying to keep the beeping

90
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: off of the show. Um but a producer, Yeah, exactly, No,

91
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: I was good. I went to the beach yesterday. I

92
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: went on like a five mile hike on Saturday. You know,

93
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: we outdoors. What's going on in California? Aren't they shutting?

94
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: That's placed down again? It doesn't matter, pretty shut down, honest.

95
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,239
Speaker 1: Outdoors are free, you know the outdoors. It's been beautiful weather.

96
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, last week I feel like I was

97
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: up and down at least with my kids. But the

98
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: more outdoors we can do on the weekend the better.

99
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: At least that that part of it. I feel like, Hey,

100
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: I'm glad I'm in California. You know that that's the

101
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: part that's okay. And I should be honest because I

102
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: haven't been to this point. Right behind me, you guys

103
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,799
Speaker 1: could see, well, I gotta go this way. I guess. Um.

104
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: It says on the wall behind me Bob's and you

105
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: might think that's Bob Bates Dds, my father in law

106
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: on the wall his name, but no, it's actually I'm

Speaker 1: in Bill O'Brien's here in Texas. I've in the summer house,

108
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, based on what I'm hearing, yes,

109
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: what you might expect to be true, he's a little

110
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: bit tense, a little bit yeah. Well one media supporter

111
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: out there. Dad, I want to, uh, you know, embrace

116
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: This is a big style. I want you to straighten

117
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: up this area. Now you are a disgusting slop. Bill,

00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: was touched by it. Yeah, it's amazing. He even made

154
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: a joke responding on Twitter. You know, let's keep it

155
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: a secret. I guess I'm blowing the secret. But you

156
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: know he's got a special place in his heart for

157
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: the for the UK, in the overseas listeners, maybe maybe

158
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: even his favorites, and uh, I don't know, I know,

159
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: I know it was not an easy week in West

160
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: has has sent out some messages about that and not

161
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: speaking for him on his Instagram, So stuff like this

162
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 1: really does UM touch him. It's awesome. Yeah, I think

163
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: that like the toughest thing is to be going through

164
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: it a second time because for a lot of people,

165
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: you think, oh, he's into the journey, and he completed

166
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: it and it was this huge moment of victory. But um,

167
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: it's very good to see how many people are rallying

168
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: around Chris with twice the strength. Um this time, all right,

169
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: let us get into it. And yes, uh West, I

170
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: know you're listening. Well, maybe he's listening. I don't think so.

171
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: I mean that could be wrong, but I don't know.

172
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 1: I feel like he's he's got a lot on his plate.

173
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: I mean, does this show he is he's the burden?

174
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm not. It's just like there's not

175
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's also not there's not a lot of

176
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: football news going on right now. Right, I'm gonna be wrong.

177
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: I have no idea. You can tell me if I'm wrong.

178
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: When during my week's stay in l A before I

179
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: got the hell back to Texas, did get a chance

180
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: to see West Erica. You were there as well, uh

181
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: Link in Lakisha, and that was awesome and they were

182
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: all in very positive spirits. So I don't know if

183
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,719
Speaker 1: the baby was in positive spirits, but he seemed to

184
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: be happy. He can't really talk or anything. But Western Latika,

185
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: as you would imagine, UM in a very good emotional

186
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 1: place in terms of their strength, as you'd imagine. So

187
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: best wishes to them and we're gonna be along with

188
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: on the ride with them. All right, let's get into

189
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: the news in the NFL. Let's start with something that

190
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: happened over the weekend. On Sunday, NFL players jumped on

191
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: Twitter in mass in a coordinated effort, UH two kind

192
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: of got the NFL to play ball with them and

193
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: uh and comply with some guidelines that experts have thrown

194
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: out there on safely opening training camps amid the Corona

195
00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: coronavirus pandemic. Many of the players used the hashtag we

196
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: want to play with their tweets, which to me brought

197
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 1: back memories of baseball's infernal labor struggle that happened a

198
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: couple of months back. Uh, but I believe it was

199
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: similar sentiment, we want to play and it's it's a

200
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: situation where the players and this is a group of

201
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: star players that all sent out tweets Sunday, Drew Brees,

202
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley, Miles Garrett, uh, you name it. Big stars

203
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: from across the spectrum of the league, Michael Thomas UH saying,

204
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: if you guys can't get on board with um A

205
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: a plan that is focused and is out in front

206
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: of us ahead of reporting for training camp, well we

207
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: don't know how we can play football. And now it's

208
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: basically firing greg an Arrow at the NFL. Uh, let's talk.

209
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: Let's figure this out, because I feel like maybe we've

210
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: wasted some time here this summer. Yeah, I think the

211
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 1: NFL and this country is in a place they didn't

212
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: expect two months ago. You know, whether you want to

213
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: criticize whether they should have expected it better or not,

214
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: I'm that interested in it. I just think the players

215
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: all talking as one voice, UH is fascinating because I

216
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 1: think they learned how powerful social media can be in

217
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: that way, you know, this summer after after George Floyd's killing,

218
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: and and I think it's a totally different matter, but

219
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 1: I think it is different than let's say another time

220
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: when the players in in the NFL, we're going back

221
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: and forth, Let's say, like during the lockout, you know,

222
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: ten years ago, and they're using this voice to get there,

223
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: UM say out there. I also think, though, as someone

224
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: like us watching from afar, I'm just gonna kind of

225
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch and see because everyone is in a

226
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: crazy hurry, how do you know? But what is to me,

227
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: what is the huge hurry? Like okay, that the players

228
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: are are showing up today apparently in Kansas City and

229
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: Houston just to get tested, and the NFL and the

230
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: union are talking today and they've basically been talking every day.

231
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: And if things don't get settled, we'll see if the

232
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: veterans are actually showing up and we'll see how this

233
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: on ramping is um. But I'm not like panicked about

234
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: it because I'm not that like fascinated by this play

235
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: by play of what's going to happen, Like, let's see

236
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: where we are in a really a week from now.

237
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: A lot of the issues are getting worked out. It

238
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: is incredibly complex, and I guess that's part of the

239
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: thing where I'm not freaking out, Like it is an

240
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 1: incredibly complex problem that the testing has to be figured out,

241
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: the money has to be figured out most more than anything,

242
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: the safety has to be figured out, and the testing

243
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: especially is something that to me is like there is

244
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: no good solution there. There literally is no good solution

245
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: to the testing, and so I'm curious how they're gonna

246
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: pull it off. But but like anyone saying that it's

247
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: just like easy and that they should have it figured out,

248
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: I think are are unrealistic. Yeah, you know, Demorris Smith

249
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: wrote um the MQB this week. He's the NFLPA executive director,

250
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: and he used the term perfect problems with imperfect solutions,

251
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: And I mean, if you want to spend positively, you

252
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: could look at what the NHL just released that out

253
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: of eight hundred players that they tested, that two were positive.

254
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: That there is a chance that football can happen. That's

255
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: in the players. You know. The whole point was we

256
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: want to play, but we want to mow down UM

257
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: these topics that were in a union battle over And

258
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: I think that things like the opt out language for

259
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: certain players with pre existing conditions or family members with such,

260
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: they want that clearly UM put in writing before the

261
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: season begins or training camp begins. That the frequency of

262
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: testing has to do with if it's a twenty four

263
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: hour test, that's the quickest you can get a response. Well,

264
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: you don't want to find out that you had a

265
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: false negative or a false positive and you've been in

266
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: contact with thirty five people, and that's been a major

267
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: sticking point for them. I mean, to me, you gotta

268
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: get you gotta get the tests. That's part of it.

269
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: I think people are on understanding that these are happening

270
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: in thirty two different places, and I don't have the

271
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: details of how the NFL is setting settling all this,

272
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: but you know where you are, Dan, where we are Florida.

273
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: Like they're in a different, very different place in terms

274
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: of testing. There's an ethical question I think to it too,

275
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: that ultimately only essential workers who are symptomatic are getting

276
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: test back that quickly, So you're basically saying we're more

277
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: important than people that are sick in your state. That

278
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: it's a totally separate question. But the like logistics of

279
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: how that's all going to be set up, whether it's

280
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: daily or every other day, is like hugely complex, And

281
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: unlike the NHL and the NBA, they're not going to

282
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: be in a bubble. They're just they're just out there

283
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: living in these communities. Yeah, Michael Thomas of the Saints

284
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: had a tweet, why isn't the NFL doing what the

285
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: NBA is doing listening to their players. Well, we've talked

286
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: about this on the show. It's much different with the

287
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: NBA is trying to pull off with this bubble in

288
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: Orlando for the end of their season in this playoff

289
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: they're doing, and what the NFL's task with doing, which is,

290
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: you know, thousands of people in terms of personnel, players,

291
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: coaches and make it all work. And I've seen it.

292
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: I saw it a number of websites on social media

293
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: of course, kind of fire and brimstone attacking the NFL,

294
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: like why are we only now here? Why is this

295
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: all coming to a head now? Why why hasn't the

296
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: NFL planned for this ahead of time. I can guarantee you,

297
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: without being a shill for the league on any level,

298
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: that everyone behind the scenes on Park Avenue has been

299
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: trying to figure this out for months and months and months.

300
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: But they're just like the rest of us ultimately, where

301
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: I think it's it's hard to kind of work it

302
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: out and find out what you can and what cannot

303
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: cannot do. And what we just saw with baseball when

304
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: you look at the relationship between the union and the league,

305
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: and maybe this is the only place where you could

306
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: give it to the NFL a little bit in terms

307
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: of criticism that maybe there should have been more runway

308
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: for communication between those two sides, because that's just a

309
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: part of professional sports as a business that there's not

310
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: always going to be seeing eye to eye in that

311
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: real well. And you know, I'm always tough on baseball

312
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: and sometimes Dana gets us into um two issues on

313
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 1: the on that front. But you know what, it's it's

314
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: unfair that, like simply baseball was paying for this because

315
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: the whole country was thinking a little bit differently in

316
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: May into June, when um, we thought things were changing

317
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: and they weren't. And by the way, you can point to,

318
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: you know, the Black plague or the Bubonic plague as

319
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: as learning points for what our society is going through.

320
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: But come on, I mean, everyone's going through it for

321
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: the first time. And I don't think there was a

322
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: sixty day period where NFL officials are just like, hey,

323
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: let's go sit by the pool and not focus on this.

324
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: I mean, this situation, to Greg's point, has changed almost

325
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,719
Speaker 1: weekly daily and and at this point they're doing all

326
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: they can. But it's it's not surprising. And Judy Batista

327
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: pointed out that um, she used the word befuddled, that

328
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: a number of league sources were like befuddled by the

329
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: players Sunday tweet storm, if that's what you want to

330
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: call it. I think from the union side, it's just

331
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: that there are these unanswerable human questions. Do we want

332
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: everyone to play yes? Is there a chance that that's possible.

333
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: I mean they went into the chief's facility and Andy

334
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: Reid talked about how pristine the setup is, how he

335
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: believes it can work. I just think that even with

336
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: that positive approach, you still have to realize there are

337
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: human issues here and that every player has people at

338
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: home and other things that just create these union sticking points. Well,

339
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: in Kansas City, Tom Pellisero reported today was one of

340
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: three teams that have been approved out of the thirty two,

341
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 1: only thirty two out of the three by an independent UM,

342
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: you know, doctors saying that they're set up is safe

343
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: to start going to work, and they're set up to

344
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: be clear, is they're just testing these rookies for a

345
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: couple of days. Then they're just testing um, you know,

346
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: the coaches that they're not really doing anything, and then

347
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a very slow on ramping process. I

348
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: think people need to understand that too. In the NFL's

349
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: best case scenario where this goes is absolutely smoothly. Training

350
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 1: camp still isn't gonna look anything like training camp, not

351
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: for a while. It's gonna be an acclamation period where

352
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 1: the players are working out in smaller groups. Then it's

353
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: gonna build up to some non contact stuff on the

354
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: field and smaller groups. And in a best case scenario,

355
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: the teams are showing up on the twenty eight. And

356
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 1: that's why the players are pushing back, because the NFL

357
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: is saying show up on the twenty eight. The day

358
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: is still uh the same, and they and we're not

359
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: really at a place where they can do that. Everything

360
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 1: is not all you know, figured out, but they hope

361
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: to be I guess by the twenty eight. And in

362
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: the best case scenario, like I was saying, in this plan,

363
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: we're three weeks away from what I think people would

364
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: really understand as a normal training camp. So so even

365
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: even in a case where things go well, it's not

366
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: gonna be like it was in The NFL is already

367
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 1: giving up one of those preseason games. So we saw

368
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: today in the NFL's latest proposal that they're down to

369
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: just hoping for one preseason game. So that's why I'm

370
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: not like freaking out about what these proposals are. It

371
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: was it was four games two weeks ago, it was

372
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: two games a week ago, and now it's down to

373
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: one game, and we'll see if we have that game

374
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: or not. I'm not gonna like analyze when we get

375
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: that game or not. You know, it's just like we'll

376
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: find out then. And please, Yeah, if do we do

377
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: end up with one preseason game, which I don't think

378
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: there's even gonna be one, please do not put too

379
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: much into the results of that week. I imagine if

380
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: players are still salty about there even being a preseason game,

381
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: and starters don't want to play in that game, the

382
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: coaches don't want to mutiny on their hands. They'll say,

383
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: you don't want to play, you don't have to play,

384
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: and they'll just play guys at the bottom of the roster,

385
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: and that could become something of a force akin to

386
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: maybe a week four the preseason. That's all stuff to

387
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: be on the radar, And I'll go ahead, Mark No,

388
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 1: I was just say, wouldn't that be the only real

389
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: use of a preseason game? Yeah, the only real copaint.

390
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: None of us like preseason games. But you know, coaches

391
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: have to make these tough decisions between your seventh and

392
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: eighth best cornerback, like use the game for that. Maybe

393
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: it would on our It would also be to practice

394
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: whatever competition is gonna be like from it from an

395
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 1: admitt look sort of an organizational and I'm sure the

396
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 1: NFL is very concerned about that. So it would be

397
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: a little bit of a dry run of like how

398
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: can we actually run a game, um before there's twenty

399
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: five million people or whatever it is on Sunday afternoon

400
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: in week one. And like I said earlier, the first

401
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: part of training camp did start today a Chiefs and

402
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: Texans rookies because they're playing the opening Thursday night games,

403
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: so they get a little bit more of a run up.

404
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 1: They reported to their facilities. The plan is they will

405
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: get tested UH at the facility on Monday and Tuesday,

406
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: then they go UH. Then they will return to their

407
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: team headquarters for a physical on Thursday if the tests

408
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: come back clean, and then once UH, if that all

409
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: goes to plan, they could begin strength and conditioning in

410
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: groups of no larger than fifteens. According to a report

411
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: from Bleacher Reports, So that's what that's training camp this

412
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: week in the NFL. And UH, it's different. It's gonna

413
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: be different, and you just hope it gets off the ground.

414
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh apparently expressed doubt that this is going to

415
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: happen on time on July. We're all gonna be kind

416
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: of like we're saying, just like the news about the

417
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: virus seems to change our by our we are plan

418
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: will as well. We're all like, you know, living through

419
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: the movie Tenant, you know, moving it's it's released day

420
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: back every two weeks. That is parallel is the country.

421
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: Because for as much as we want to kill the

422
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: NFL or what, and there's a lot of just anger

423
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: and everything, I did go back and read some stuff

424
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: from early May, and it's like there wasn't there was

425
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: no expectation and and that's our own naivety and our

426
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: own people had too much faith in the government, are

427
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: in everything. That there was no expectation that cases would

428
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: be double what they were back in May. There's no

429
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 1: expectation that the testing problem that really I think is

430
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: crucial for these teams um would be in a worse

431
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: situation in a lot of places, and that this uneven

432
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 1: balance of like hey, a couple of you know, some

433
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: of these teams are actually an okay, shape to go back.

434
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: It's interesting to me then, I'm wondering your thoughts. Hearing

435
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: today that Jets and Giants are already announcing that there

436
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: won't be fans of the crowd. It's interesting that they

437
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 1: were the first teams to announce that because New Jersey,

438
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: New York actually, you know, in terms of having the

439
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: the you know, virus under control is in a better

440
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: shape than than virtually any place right now. But they've

441
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 1: been through it and they sort of know that that,

442
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: you know, they can't risk anything. They want to keep

443
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: it that way and have a ton of all of

444
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: my families in New York and New Jersey and things

445
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: are a lot better there right now, and that's why

446
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: they don't want people coming into the area right now.

447
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: They want to keep it that way. And the idea

448
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: of you know, getting out of the hell that was

449
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,479
Speaker 1: in March April May in the Tri state area and

450
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: then saying well, we're fine now, so let's get people

451
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: into to a stadium. I'm glad there's leadership there that

452
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: understands that's a needless risk. So that's good New Wait

453
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: you hear that, Oh what kind of a man are you?

454
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: I'm trying to work for a week, do nothing. You

455
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: are nothing. You're sitting here all day and play that sick,

456
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: repulsive electric twinger. I want any lord guitar. Well, I

457
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 1: don't get Dan. I don't understand that here. Well, right

458
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: you have. I guess you didn't play shuffleboard by yourself.

459
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: He doesn't sound like he wants to play with you.

460
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: What are the I got such a nice impression of

461
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 1: Bill at home with his family and his you know,

462
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: his children, his wife when they when they had a

463
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 1: hard knocks that really humanized him. And this is a

464
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: different side of him at home. I'm surprised. Yeah, I

465
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: guess when NFL films cameras aren't on him. Do you

466
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: see what really happens? Again? Another also shot across the

467
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: bow of the podcast industry that's out that, oh, there's

468
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: no signal that could be sent down to here to

469
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: bring me down, so I'll just be my natural self. Well,

470
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: Bill jokes on you bro use it as revenge and

471
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 1: other news. Alright, this broke last week. Obviously, we know

472
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 1: that the uh Redskins no longer there now the Washington

473
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: football team for the time being, as they figure out

474
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: what their new name will be. Later in the week,

475
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: the Washington Post dropped the bombshell report about misconduct within

476
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: the organization over the last uh, what was it, two decades,

477
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: accusations from fifteen women of sexual harassment and verbal assault

478
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: against former club club officials. And there's obviously gonna be

479
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,719
Speaker 1: a lot of fallout from that, as there should be,

480
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: and the Post reported that the NFL will consider disciplining

481
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: the team, but it is not expected to force Daniel

482
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: Snyder to sell the team, at least that's where we

483
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 1: are right now. That was an initial thought, and we

484
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: saw different circumstances with Jerry Richardson and the Panthers a

485
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: couple of years back when he was very quickly forced

486
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: to sell the team because of some very ugly issues

487
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 1: going on behind the scenes there. Right now, it doesn't

488
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 1: seem like Snyder will be forced out of the league

489
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: at this point, but a fine could be coming, and

490
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: a hefty one at that. You would think it doesn't

491
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: look like it's gonna happen. You know that any force

492
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: out's gonna happen quickly, But there is more um, there's

493
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 1: more pressure about it than than ever before. You know,

494
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: Peter King certain you know, writing in a column saying

495
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: why Snyder has to go. UM that he's not the

496
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: only one, UM, you know, to be to be saying

497
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: these sort of things, and I do. I think it's

498
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:48,959
Speaker 1: just interesting, you know, more than anyone, you know, Fred Smith,

499
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: the owner of FedEx, the minority owner of the Redskins,

500
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: is pushing for this in his own subtle way. I mean,

501
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 1: he's not saying it, but he's trying to get out,

502
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 1: and all the other minority owners of the team are

503
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: trying to get out, according to the Washington Post, and

504
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 1: that's been the case before this report. And UM, I

505
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: think we've seen this year and we've seen it with

506
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: the Washington name change, which is, you know, another thing

507
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: that organization is trying to deal with in a very

508
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: quick manner. It's very complicated. UM. You know, money is

509
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: what changes. You know, money, money is what UM forces change.

510
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: At least it has a lot this summer. And I

511
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: don't know that the minority owners trying to get out.

512
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: It does leave it to me kind of an unsettled

513
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: situation that it maybe it's not happening quickly, but it's

514
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: something I think everyone around the NFL is gonna be

515
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 1: watching pretty closely over the next season the next year. Well,

516
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 1: and the problem with sports ownership is that, um, you know,

517
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: it's it's it hinges on the money that you spoke about,

518
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: and if you have it, you can just stay in

519
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 1: the role. And you know, even even if you want

520
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: to just look at it from a football perspective, what

521
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 1: we like to look at these coaches and say, well,

522
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: what do the what does a coach bring to the

523
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: fold other than simply being in the position. What is

524
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: what is Daniel Snyder do well? They have one playoff win, Um,

525
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: since he took over the team. In that was when

526
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: our friend Chris Simms, um knocked out what they basically

527
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: beat Chris Simms and John Gruden, that old box. You're

528
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 1: going friends with him now, your friend, your buddies. Well,

529
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: he's not an enemy, he's the oppositeve. I like him

530
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: quite a bit. But I'm just gonna ask you what

531
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: is Daniel Snyder do well at all? And I feel,

532
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: if anything, from an on field perspective, that we're losing

533
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: one of the better fan bases and now in general

534
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: Washington is embroiled in total madness. Um, what's been going

535
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: on there? You try to tell me that the owner

536
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 1: didn't know about any of that. UM, I simply don't

537
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: buy it. I would be do you need deep cutting changes?

538
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: Snyder issued a statement frauday through the team. The behavior

539
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: described in yesterday's Washington Post article is no place in

540
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: our franchise or society. The story has strengthened my commitment

541
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: to setting a new culture and standard for our team,

542
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: a process that began with the hiring of coach Ron

543
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: Rivera earlier this year. Rivera is being hoisted up as

544
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: kind of the symbol of change in Washington. UM. And

545
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,479
Speaker 1: I guess from that viewpoint, you could look at this

546
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: job he has now as a great opportunity for him

547
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: personally because of the if I almost said it, if

548
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: Washington does go and turn it around and things clean

549
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: up behind the scenes, he's going to get a lot

550
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: of credit for that. Uh, and he probably will deserve it,

551
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: because he's a guy that has been in the league

552
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: for a while and knows what he's doing. Conversely, it's

553
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: a very tough job that he just took because the

554
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: team has been kind of messy for years now, and UH,

555
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: it's been dysfunctional, and he is now the guy in

556
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: charge of not only on some level, cleaning up things

557
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: on the field, but also being a agent of change

558
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. That's a lot of work for one

559
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: guy to do, right And if you think about the

560
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: coaches that have tried that and failed. I mean Joe

561
00:29:55,480 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: Gibbs under Dan Snyder, hall of Famer in two sports.

562
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: You know, he knows how to build Gibbs, right. He

563
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: even like they were just saying, Gibbs, give us a winner.

564
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: Rivera even him being cited in the quote from Snyder

565
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: Snyder's basically saying to Rivera, fix our team and fix

566
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: our the culture of our organization, right. I mean they've tried.

567
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: They've tried, you know, guys who are incredible play callers

568
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: with the Shanahan and stuff, and that hasn't worked. And

569
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: I do think, um, you know, it is worth noting

570
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,719
Speaker 1: kind of the just the reaction from this story. Obviously

571
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: it's it's a horrible story. It's an embarrassment, but from

572
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: from some of our colleagues, like like Lindsay Rhodes saying

573
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: and so many women who say that this wasn't news

574
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: to them, and it's not unique just to the Washington

575
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: UH franchise. In Rian Rhan and Walker, who covered the

576
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: team now works for The Athletic wrote a really good

577
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: piece in The Athletic about it and and that it's

578
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: just it's more than just a Washington problem. Um. But

579
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: but also that I think people around the league no

580
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: one was surprised that Washington was the one that that

581
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: in this case, was was called out for it. Yeah.

582
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: Colleen tweeted about it too last week that the story

583
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: brought back, you know, triggered the worst memories of you know,

584
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: what she's had to deal with in the business. And

585
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: I spoke with her last week about it, and uh,

586
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: you know, she said it. She said it not in

587
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: a way that she was it brought back and put

588
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: her in a dark place, but that she was just

589
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: it was kind of a matter of fact thing that

590
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: that's part of the business. And we have been around,

591
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: you know, women that we worked with for years at

592
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: these league events. It is not this is real. I

593
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: mean I've I've seen it at the at the league

594
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: events and the way uh you know, when people have

595
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: some drinks in them, uh the league. You know, I

596
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: don't know, I want to say who got involved with what,

597
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: but we've all seen it. We've seen ugly behavior, and

598
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: you would you would hope one thing that comes good

599
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: comes out of something negative, just like what happened with

600
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: George Floyd and the protests that happened. That people see

601
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: what's happening to Washington, and they caused them to reflect

602
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: on how they should behave around women and and people

603
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: should be treated as equals and not as an object

604
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: to be lusted for. It's it's it's real deal stuff,

605
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: and I'm glad that the light is being shined on it. Yeah.

606
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: Key thing was, it's every team, It's not just one.

607
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: I mean it's like, if you want to investigate deeper

608
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: into each organization, you're gonna find similar stories. All right,

609
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: moving on, We'll hit a couple of quick nuggets here

610
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: before we uh continue on the show. Two Patriots nugs

611
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: Greg number one. ESPN Boston's Mike Reese reports that Mosta

612
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: New has hired a full time coach to live with

613
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: him this offseason. According to Rice, some New hopes that

614
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: this set up quote creates a situation where his relentless

615
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: offseason work produces tangible on field results. In what the

616
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: hell is going on here? I love it? I love it.

617
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: This is a man that once he said the slander

618
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: he played, he had a high angle spring this second.

619
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: He showed up to New England and did not and played,

620
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: you know, very poorly. After that, that trade by Bill

621
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: come On probably was but I think at least it

622
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: was a bad trade. But there's a chance, at least

623
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: I think he's out there trading with Cam Newton, which

624
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: is fun to say. There's a chance at least that

625
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: he can salvage it as a useful part of their team,

626
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: which he was absolutely not last year. He hurt them

627
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: by playing injury. He should have just gone on I

628
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: R or whatever he needed to do. I would do

629
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: this with every rookie quarterback who's expected to see the field. Um,

630
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: any sort of key central star player. You have a

631
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: coach with seven younger guys. I mean I I kind

632
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: of like the idea. That sounds like a CBSL access

633
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: show or something. I don't know what. It doesn't sound

634
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: like major. I'm not sure I would watch it, but

635
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: there's a lot of digital streaming places that that that

636
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: feels like a show. The coach comes. I mean, Dan,

637
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: you're like, you're living with a coach right now, so

638
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what your counterpoint would be keeping keep

639
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,479
Speaker 1: your voice down. He could he could come up at

640
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: any moment. Well, it does. It makes me think about listen,

641
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: snow is priv ledged financially, um, and he has options

642
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: to do these sort of things. And I think about

643
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: myself and I think everyone is the same way. You

644
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: think of ways that you could make yourself into a

645
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: better version of you. But then again, it's like, Mark,

646
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: do you want someone living in your house telling you

647
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: to be better? That feels like it would be terrible. Um,

648
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind like a plugged in life coach kind

649
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: of just a moment saying like, you know, let's let's

650
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 1: think about that. Let's make a better decision here. You know,

651
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be the worst worst. Who is that? Who

652
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: is the the female nutrition nutritionist exercise lady that you

653
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: were way into for a while, way into in the

654
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: class of Autumn from Beach Body, and she she help

655
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: me help me lose like eighteen pounds and twenty days.

656
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: Just did a boxing class this morning, So Autumn CALABRESI

657
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: would you be okay if she was living with you

658
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: in the house and just tracking you at all times

659
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 1: to make sure you're being the best version of yourself.

660
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: I think it would. I think it would be helpful

661
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: toward my fitness. I don't think that she would sign

662
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: up for that on any level. I think it's a

663
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: bit of a different relationship between most a new in

664
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: his position coach than um, you know, grabbing a beach

665
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 1: body trainers site unseen and forced forcing them to live

666
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: in this household. Please, I'll always remember I texted you know,

667
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: Mark a picture that autumn CALABRISI was speaking at one

668
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: of the Santa Monica public libraries that I was that

669
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,359
Speaker 1: I was at with my children, and that was like

670
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: Mark's chance to really rob albas and meet meet his hero.

671
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 1: Not everyone gets to meet their hero. Well, I didn't.

672
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: I didn't do much with that advice I apologist Greg

673
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: And you say, why would she want to do it? Well,

674
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,720
Speaker 1: money talks, right, I don't have the money that would

675
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 1: make that would be speaking. Let's put it that way.

676
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 1: It's the that's the other big problem here. Your money

677
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: would be mumbling, yeah, it would be the best, you know,

678
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: tired roar, Wait, you want to give me thirty seven

679
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 1: dollars to live with you for six months? Right? What

680
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 1: is the upside? Um? Good news Mark and other Patriot

681
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: news Cam Newton is the latest pro athlete to get up.

682
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: I won't even say get up on his high horse,

683
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: because it's it's not right to get up on a

684
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 1: horse like that, to say, the vegan lifestyle is the

685
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: way to go, and a plant based diet has changed

686
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: my life and it's made my body responding ways that

687
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: I never thought it could. And uh, I'm gonna do Uh,

688
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do a campaign with Peter cam Newton says,

689
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: wearing a Vegan strong shirt. So congratulations, Mark, you have

690
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 1: another big time name in your corner in cam Newton. Well,

691
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: I think when cam Newton's signed with the Patriots, I

692
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: decided either I'm gonna be um, you know, real antagonistic

693
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: about this because I just don't like it, or I'm

694
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: gonna get all on board. And that was before I

695
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 1: heard this. I decided to get all on board. I

696
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 1: love I love the whole idea of it. It's make

697
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: it makes whatever part of a season we get that

698
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: must Matt much more interesting. And there are it is

699
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 1: not um unusual at this point, especially for players rehabbing

700
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,760
Speaker 1: and coming off certain types of injuries, to look harder

701
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,959
Speaker 1: a diet. And um, I just would say this because

702
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: I always get pegged as being this person with this

703
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: diet thing. Like, I just think there's huge chunks of

704
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 1: people out there that shouldn't eat that way. Some should,

705
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: some shouldn't. Like I just think if it fits for you,

706
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: it does, and there's certain athletes and certain types of

707
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: bodies that they respond to it. He's in according to

708
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: all those instant Instagram videos there Dan, he looks. He

709
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: definitely looks like you're not loving this. That looks They're

710
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 1: back in the center. They're back in the center of

711
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: the first of all, this is being added to the

712
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: trope list, the vegan diet thing. Why it is hardly

713
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: happening a long enough or distance. We don't need to

714
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: hear the stories about it all the time. You're right,

715
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: it's actually common enough. I don't think that, like it's

716
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: is it that interesting as a story? That's fine, But

717
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: I mean there lying every other like tweet I see

718
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 1: right now is people like I just cooked a steak

719
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: for forty eight hours in my oven. It's like, so

720
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,280
Speaker 1: that you want that, you don't want you want that information,

721
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: but you don't want anything counter to that. I hear you.

722
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: I'm just saying the people that cook the steak, they're

723
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: just saying I'm looking forward to eating this delicious piece

724
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:22,240
Speaker 1: of meat. The vegan guy like a Cam Newton's like, oh,

725
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: my body's never gonna be better. You know, this is

726
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: the way. It is a little preachy. I feel sometimes, well,

727
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: I'm think I just want to eat the steak. I'm

728
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 1: mostly vegan, and my body has never looked worse. So

729
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: I I Am going to keep it real with you,

730
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: and I'm meat eater and my body's never look Maybe

731
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: it's just for getting old. Cam Newton, by the way,

732
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: was a meat eater in two thousand fifteen, all those

733
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 1: years ago when he was the m v P. And

734
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: answer your question, well, jump on the football. If you

735
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: don't like you don't like that, I do to it

736
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: marks defense. I don't like the people who then are like,

737
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: well did you see Arian Foster's numbers after he went

738
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: like that's annoying to the people claiming that vegan makes

739
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: them better players are just as annoying as the vegan

740
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: like not eating meat makes them worse players. It's just

741
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: like he's figure out their own diet. Here's bee, here's

742
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: the nuance to the trope. And maybe Brady in so

743
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: many ways as an outlier the guy that you usually

744
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: read about saying I'm now a vegan and my body

745
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 1: has never been better. It's usually uh NFL star on

746
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: the other side of the hill that is trying to

747
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 1: recapture past glories and is looking to change up his

748
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: diet as part of that quest. Uh And more often

749
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: than that, I would imagine Arian Foster is the example.

750
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: Then a guy changes up the diet and all of

751
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 1: a sudden is as good as he was five years earlier. Well,

752
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: it's also it's it's not I don't think they're coming

753
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: up with it on the fly and a vacuum. It's trainers.

754
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: It's nutritionists with more information than they had in UM

755
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: But you're right, it's it's people open to new solutions

756
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,320
Speaker 1: and so they are UM trying to save and lengthen

757
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 1: their career. It's not the twenty two year all necessarily,

758
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 1: who is probably also outtill three in the morning if

759
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: he wants to be. And before you get on me

760
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 1: on Twitter or the subreddit or whatever, I'm fine with it.

761
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: I'm fine with people v vegan. I'm just having fun.

762
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: Everybody just relax and Greg, I have no problem with

763
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 1: um Cam Newton beyond the Patriots. I know you want

764
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: me to be really upset about it, but really not.

765
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,240
Speaker 1: In fact, it's kind of fun. The Patriots being super boring.

766
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: It wasn't a great hook as a guy that covers

767
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 1: football and likes to dislike the Patriots camp being in

768
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 1: a picture makes them so much more interesting. And as

769
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: I said on this show and on the Network show

770
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,399
Speaker 1: before he signed, I was I was rooting for the guy.

771
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: I hope he does well. I don't hope the Patriots

772
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 1: do well. I hope he's basically a lesser version of

773
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 1: what he once was. But I don't want him to

774
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: fall on his face out right. It's a bit of

775
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: a tricky uh lined wired across as a guy rooting

776
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 1: for Cam. But I will say this, Greg, you got

777
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: Cam Newton there, Okay, you got Yard said I'm still

778
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 1: waiting in the wings, Bill still in the building. You

779
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 1: got some new with the life coach living with him.

780
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 1: All that's great. But I'll tell you something, despite all that,

781
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,879
Speaker 1: the Patriots aren't special anymore. M Well, that was That's

782
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: all I'm saying. As you were saying you were, your

783
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: narrative was they were a relevant team. That was yours.

784
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: You did you did not say irrelevant real anymore. Maybe

785
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: I said relevant once or twice. All right, good talk. Oh,

786
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: I have an update. I'm long overdue on an update.

787
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 1: Developing news here. Yeah, we didn't want to press, but

788
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: we've been waiting. Yeah, it's time for the update. What's

789
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: going on with the Gatesville Messenger. People think that I'm

790
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 1: ducking the story, and it's just it was a matter

791
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: of timing and circumstance here in the middle of the summer,

792
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 1: the gates a Messenger for people that aren't aware of it.

793
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: Since I got to Texas earlier this summer, I thought

794
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 1: it would be um fun and good for both sides.

795
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: The newspaper, the local paper of record in Gatesville, Texas,

796
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: a small town in central Texas where my wife is from,

797
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: to maybe do a feature piece on the old zeuser

798
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 1: and around the NFL podcast coming to Texas and doing

799
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 1: remote shows from a local insurance office UH in the

800
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: center of downtown Gatesville and UH. I was approached by

801
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 1: a reporter for the Katesville Messenger who said, I'm gonna

802
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 1: come by the office, I'm gonna interview you, I'm gonna

803
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: take a photo. And like I said, I was very excited,

804
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 1: and I wanted to be on the front page. And

805
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,879
Speaker 1: I saw that as almost a referendum on where I

806
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: was in my life, whether I get front page status

807
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,919
Speaker 1: or if I'm buried within the messenger. And sure enough,

808
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, Uh, there is in the

809
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: in the back the pay and the back of the

810
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 1: paper about eighty words. NFL Network comes to Gatesville, and

811
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, oh, this is not good. The guy never

812
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 1: showed up. You never shoot showed up to the office

813
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: the reporter, and I don't want to get on him

814
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: too hard. But he told me the subject of the interview, Hey,

815
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: I'll be there. I'm gonna take a photo and we're

816
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: gonna talk. He just never shows. And then there's a

817
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 1: blurb in the paper, well, I come here to eat crow.

818
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,760
Speaker 1: But what today? I get a call from the editor

819
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:40,879
Speaker 1: in chief. Okay, okay, I get a phone call from

820
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 1: the editor of the paper. It says, I don't want

821
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: to get into the exact specifics of what she said,

822
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 1: but a long lines of there was a miscommunication within

823
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: our building. We would love to do a full feature story.

824
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 1: We want a photo. She didn't say front page, but

825
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 1: I think that's where this could be heading and she's

826
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: assigning her top features story columnist to conduct a phone

827
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: interview with me this week. And things are looking up

828
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: for the old Zuser and the Gatesville Messenger. That's all

829
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say. It was looking very bad. Now it's

830
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:16,760
Speaker 1: looking very good. The saga continues, Well, I mean, if anything,

831
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: you're I could hear the disappointment, not at all. If anything,

832
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 1: it sounds like if there are signing, you know, the

833
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: Gatesville Messengers top features reported to this, it sounds like

834
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 1: um front page material. And you know, it's just nice

835
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: to see your star rise in conjunction with the power

836
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: and the readership of newspapers, which has never been um,

837
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: you know, more glowing than it is today. If you

838
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 1: if you're doing anything, you're read in the newspaper right now.

839
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: I did wonder what was the glow, the glow around

840
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,879
Speaker 1: Hansas today. I thought it was probably just a week off,

841
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 1: a lot of great family time. He's back in Texas.

842
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: But I don't know if that glow would be quite

843
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: as bright if it wasn't for this call, but from

844
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: the editor in chief, I don't think it would. UM.

845
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 1: We will continue to keep you up to date with

846
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 1: all the latest developments. One thing, are you gonna have

847
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: the the the reporter that basically you know, we all

848
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: heard that call. He was gonna come down to the

849
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: insurance office where you were doing the show and um,

850
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: you know be there to listen to and are you

851
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 1: has will he be fired? What is the repercussions for

852
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: someone not cover? Wonder if they've heard they might have

853
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: they might have heard the show too and realized they

854
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,840
Speaker 1: were getting some bad press here, she said. The woman

855
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: said she was thankful that we've been talking about the

856
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: paper and and I don't want to say what's going

857
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,839
Speaker 1: to happen to that sports editor because I certainly didn't

858
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: put in any phone calls, But it didn't sound like

859
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: his boss is very happy. That's all I'm gonna say.

860
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 1: But that's not my is not my department. I'm just

861
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 1: happy to be in contact with the top of the

862
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: food chain and things are going very well. And we

863
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 1: will keep you updated on everything surrounding the Gates, little

864
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 1: messenger and the old Zeuser potential front page headline. You know,

865
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 1: you guys think this is just like some biller content

866
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: to get us through the summer. This is probably gonna

867
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: be the biggest story in September too on the Who's

868
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 1: you guys like we just got it to dance subconscious

869
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 1: there's no it might be the only thing we have

870
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: to talk about, the quiet part out loud. No, it

871
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 1: might be the only thing we have to talk about.

872
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 1: Is all right, that's what's happening in the news. All right.

873
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 1: So we're fully aware if you've listened to what's happened

874
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: in the show so far today, of the hurdles that

875
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 1: exist UM to get players on the field, and even

876
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: if and when that happens, is this gonna work? I

877
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 1: was extremely um lifted up. You want to talk about

878
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: a glow Greg watching the Yankees and Mets into UM

879
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:55,919
Speaker 1: exhibition games in the city, uh over the weekend, where

880
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:57,799
Speaker 1: it just felt like it was working. It felt like

881
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 1: real baseball, uh, with the option of the crowd noise,

882
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:04,280
Speaker 1: which I really think the NFL needs to uh steer

883
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 1: clear of the the fake crowd noise. I don't know

884
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: why we feel like we should be doing this. And

885
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 1: I know it's not just happening. Baseball's happening at soccer

886
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: and it's happening good in the world. I think it's funny.

887
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 1: I sort of it isn't a round of silly it is,

888
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 1: but at least with I think I think baseball is

889
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: a little different, but soccer it's such a part of

890
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 1: like the low hum in the in the like it

891
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 1: like sort of lets you know because if you're not

892
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:32,879
Speaker 1: like watching every second. I think it makes more sense

893
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:34,959
Speaker 1: in soccer though than baseball. And it's tricky you gotta

894
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 1: get it right. I think they've gotten it right. Like

895
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:40,720
Speaker 1: on the NBC broadcast. Soccer is a hypnotic, like soccer

896
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 1: the rise, but you know, to like look up, you know,

897
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 1: it's like stuff like that. Football has that too. But

898
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 1: I think that aren't we just like a little too

899
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 1: savvy to not be right? I'm with you, I don't

900
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 1: need to think. It made me think of someone of

901
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 1: a certain age when you think about one of the

902
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: major things that have happened in our lifetimes. The two

903
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 1: biggest things to me nine eleven and now the coronavirus.

904
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 1: And I remember when nine eleven happened. There were some

905
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:11,280
Speaker 1: things now when you look back or a little cringe

906
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:13,839
Speaker 1: e because everyone was just trying to like get through

907
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 1: it and trying to think of ways to make life

908
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 1: a little bit better. It's like when Fred Durst was

909
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 1: doing charity songs, uh and rapping about nine eleven and

910
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, it was for charity, and the moment

911
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 1: it was like, all right, that's fine, and now you

912
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 1: look back at it and things like that just seemed

913
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 1: cringe e for the time that it took place in

914
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 1: That's how I feel like. We're gonna look back at

915
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 1: the sports with the canned crowds like everybody was doing

916
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 1: it because we just want to feel like life is

917
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,319
Speaker 1: a little bit normal. But then down the line maybe

918
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 1: it will be a little cringe e. That's all I know.

919
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:45,879
Speaker 1: But it was good to watch sports this weekend. I'll

920
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 1: tell you what. That was nice. But anyway, this segment

921
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 1: is ignoring all this negative noise all around us for

922
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: just a moment. We're not we're not um being soldiers

923
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 1: of the league here and being like everything's fine, keep

924
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 1: keep walking along and the football's coming. July twenty eight.

925
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,799
Speaker 1: If everything is good, please pay me. That's not what

926
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 1: this is about. We are fully aware of what's going on,

927
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 1: so they know, they know if they've made it this far. Unfortunately,

928
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 1: today's segment is everything is fine, Everything's fine, let's talk

929
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: about football. That's it. That's it. We're talking about things

930
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:27,760
Speaker 1: that we under normal circumstances, right, Greg would just be

931
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 1: excited to talk about with a season coming up, right

932
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:34,319
Speaker 1: in some show. You know, maybe we've leaned into it

933
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: too far the other way because we're a news show.

934
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:38,880
Speaker 1: That's sort of how we started, and so that the

935
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 1: news is dark right now. But it's crazy because I

936
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 1: do have to, you know, you have to live with

937
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 1: the reality that there's there is a chance Week one

938
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: is going to start on time or close to on time,

939
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 1: and it's like we we do need to be prepared

940
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 1: for that, and I do feel like it's tricky. Of

941
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 1: course we're distracted. It's the most distracting thing ever, but

942
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,320
Speaker 1: at some point we sort of we need to be ready.

943
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:02,919
Speaker 1: We need to preparing our our listeners for this season too.

944
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 1: If it's gonna happen, we gotta start getting about it.

945
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:07,959
Speaker 1: It's almost like you feel a little guilty just talking

946
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: about football, and it makes you seem like you're being

947
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 1: willfully ignorant. Well, if that's what it is, so bad

948
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 1: talk about something fun, what could come in six to

949
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 1: eight weeks? You started off mark, you know for me,

950
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 1: because I this is like, what what will get me excited?

951
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: And what, um, what's ahead that I'm genuinely intrigued by,

952
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 1: And so I'm not I think you know me well enough.

953
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna fake and just say this thing gets

954
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: me going. It's there are There is something that happens

955
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,280
Speaker 1: every year, though, and it's the fact that we're sitting

956
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 1: here in July and we have no idea, um me

957
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: personally what happens to me because my team is always

958
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 1: like a flaming train wreck that crashes into a mountain

959
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: by week four. So I don't when things are going

960
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:51,799
Speaker 1: great for your team. It's great to be charitable and

961
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 1: love all these other teams and have this great time

962
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 1: when you're personally on fire. I'm looking for like things

963
00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 1: different than just like major teams, and so what I

964
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,959
Speaker 1: owe us have every year or like kind of new

965
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 1: heroes and guys that come out of the woodwork that

966
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,400
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even know, Like last year at this time,

967
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 1: no idea who Gardner min she was, didn't care, No

968
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 1: idea that David Blow would become a central part of

969
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 1: my adulthood, No idea that both Scarborough these guys started

970
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 1: um beloved fan clubs the Scarborough Heads, the blowhards them

971
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 1: and shootings, and so I'm wondering, like three months from now,

972
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 1: let's just say everything starts on time. Who is captured

973
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 1: in my heart? Someone what it is it is? And

974
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: this exercise it is everything, It's great everything, And there's

975
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,839
Speaker 1: gonna be seven or eight you know, new people that

976
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 1: I absolutely enamored with who tell the story to the

977
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 1: season the way that I like. I can think someone

978
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 1: like Jalen Hurts maybe comes in and does a lot

979
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:49,720
Speaker 1: of special stuff and then something you've got a Jalen

980
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 1: Hurts so good fan club that could be fun like there,

981
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 1: who knows there's so much possibilities out there and more

982
00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:59,800
Speaker 1: pretend names. No, because I'm not you know what I

983
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 1: That's the one thing that I just let come to

984
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 1: me organically, and I'm going to let right right guys

985
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: that you wanted to even think of to be able

986
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:10,359
Speaker 1: to think clubs about. So we need it. We need

987
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,439
Speaker 1: the season to start on time because I need these

988
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 1: people in my life. You've always been a fan of

989
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 1: the underdog in football, Mark, you do latch on to

990
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 1: those people. Maybe it goes all the way back to

991
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 1: your love of Bernie Kosar a man on the surface

992
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 1: had no business being a star NFL quarterback and then

993
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 1: turned into one of the great gun slingers of the

994
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 1: of your formative years. Well, that's one way to put

995
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: his career. I could spend it very differently than that.

996
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:38,439
Speaker 1: I think he was a a national title winning college star.

997
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 1: Who you know That's that's a way better set up

998
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:45,239
Speaker 1: for Bernie. Okay, I guess I just the eighties, the

999
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 1: eighties perm that certain guys had. I always struggled to

1000
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:50,759
Speaker 1: take them seriously. Well, you know who else had that perm?

1001
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 1: Dan Marino and I it was it was hard to

1002
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 1: think that bad is bad. I mark marks into uh

1003
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 1: into underdogs. I I am realizing as you say that,

1004
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:04,319
Speaker 1: I'm sort of into divisions like I I like love

1005
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 1: the I love the rivalries. I sometimes picked divisions. I've

1006
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:09,320
Speaker 1: always been into the NFC South, but I'm really excited

1007
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:12,280
Speaker 1: about the a f C West this year. There's thinking

1008
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 1: about like the matchups in that division. The Chiefs to

1009
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:19,279
Speaker 1: me are like the most exciting defending champion like in

1010
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 1: terms of just like I'm still at that point and

1011
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,280
Speaker 1: maybe I'll always be at that point. With Patrick Mahomes,

1012
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,799
Speaker 1: I am looking forward to watching them play every week.

1013
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:27,439
Speaker 1: I don't care if they're too good, Like I don't

1014
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:30,840
Speaker 1: care if they crush everyone too. It's like the most

1015
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 1: to me, he's the most exciting player just about that

1016
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:37,360
Speaker 1: we've ever covered. But then those rivalries in that division

1017
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 1: are sneaky fun, and I think that that division is

1018
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 1: sneaky fun, that every matchup that you can kind of

1019
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:44,800
Speaker 1: put out there is kind of fun. This year, the

1020
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:48,759
Speaker 1: Raiders rolling out like this nineteen eighties offense. Nate Nate

1021
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:52,399
Speaker 1: Tye called it that on on the Mina Times Show

1022
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 1: last week, and it's true like that, it's three tight ends,

1023
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 1: it's running, it's basically doing what Bill Walsh would do

1024
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 1: if you was still life. Is all these complete since

1025
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 1: it's like it's that style versus the Chargers with with Tyrod,

1026
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 1: which I just think it's gonna be a little more

1027
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:08,799
Speaker 1: fun and a little more interesting than people thinking a

1028
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 1: ton of like defensive stars. And then it's the Broncos,

1029
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 1: who I am liking that I went back and watched

1030
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks and Drew Lock I am more excited about

1031
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:22,839
Speaker 1: than I was. He's got big time players around him

1032
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:26,360
Speaker 1: in terms of Sutton and Judy and the two running backs,

1033
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:30,439
Speaker 1: and there the fans of these fans, these teams are

1034
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:34,359
Speaker 1: great like Chargers, Broncos, Raiders, Chiefs fans, they get after

1035
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:36,360
Speaker 1: each other. It's because they've had these rivalries for the

1036
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 1: most part for so long and there hasn't been a

1037
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 1: lot of change. And to me, like this is a

1038
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 1: fascinating division where anything can happen, and they have the

1039
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 1: most fun team in the Chiefs. I'm with you, it's

1040
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 1: gonna be very competitive and uh, maybe the Chiefs are

1041
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:54,399
Speaker 1: the heavy favorite and they are, but right and they're fun.

1042
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 1: Do you think about in the Chiefs struggled last year?

1043
00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 1: It was some of those um some of the divi

1044
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 1: as in games, you know, not not against the Raiders,

1045
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:05,799
Speaker 1: but again certainly against the Chargers, and I think the

1046
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 1: Broncos are going to be really frisk. Well, it's also

1047
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:10,879
Speaker 1: what could go wrong factor with Kansas City because it's

1048
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:13,360
Speaker 1: easy and you know nothing is happening right now to

1049
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 1: ticket them, ticket them for four or five more Super Bowls.

1050
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 1: But we talked about this on our network show, like

1051
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 1: that just doesn't happen. These teams have a season where

1052
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: you think they're set up to win for the next

1053
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:26,839
Speaker 1: win when multiple titles and then something disastrous occurs. So

1054
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 1: there is the other shoe drops scenario with Kansas City.

1055
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 1: I shouldn't bring it up in this conversation. But one

1056
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 1: thing we can't will into existence with positivity and looking

1057
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:40,439
Speaker 1: the other way is that there's not gonna be most

1058
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:43,160
Speaker 1: likely anybody watching these games in the crowd. That's that's

1059
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 1: gonna make these a f C West battles different. Part

1060
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:49,280
Speaker 1: of the fun of it is the stadiums going bonkers, uh,

1061
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:52,799
Speaker 1: with you know, passion and electricity. But that is what

1062
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,720
Speaker 1: it is. I guess the only one I can't the Chargers.

1063
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 1: I just struggle to get pumped up about because Tyrod

1064
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:01,800
Speaker 1: Taylor boars me to tears as quarterback. And Herbert's a

1065
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 1: guy that their first pick that you heard some mixed

1066
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:07,800
Speaker 1: things about coming out of college. The offensive line is

1067
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:11,320
Speaker 1: not better, so he might be in a bad situation. Uh.

1068
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:13,279
Speaker 1: That's the only thing that maybe it doesn't jump back

1069
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 1: out to make And Mike Williams and Keenan Allen and

1070
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry and and Derwin James and Joey Bosa and

1071
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 1: Desmond it's just like they got a lot of they

1072
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:25,880
Speaker 1: got Chris Harris is there not. It's like They got

1073
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 1: a lot of players that are pretty fun to watch

1074
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:29,600
Speaker 1: on that roster if they can figure out, you know,

1075
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 1: how it all works. Um, I want to talk about

1076
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 1: what's going on in Chicago. I know it's on some

1077
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:39,400
Speaker 1: level um been driven into the ground already, but I

1078
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 1: don't care, because now it's really gonna happen. One of

1079
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:47,359
Speaker 1: the more interesting quarterback competitions that I can remember from

1080
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:51,480
Speaker 1: a summertime perspective between Mitchell Robinsky and Nick Foles, because

1081
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 1: both guys have such great background here and things have

1082
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 1: only ramped up more around Mitch Drabinsky with this Patrick Mahomes,

1083
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:01,680
Speaker 1: he of winning Super Bowl m v P and now

1084
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 1: getting a half a billion dollar contract and all that

1085
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 1: heat around. Trabiscue is drafted ahead of Mahomes and Watson.

1086
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 1: Of course, now he gets his one last chance to

1087
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 1: make things right. And then Nick Foles, who was always

1088
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 1: going to be an intriguing figure in the NFL for

1089
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:21,240
Speaker 1: what happened and in Philadelphia with the two playoff runs,

1090
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 1: especially the first one that led to the super Bowl

1091
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 1: title title and an m v P, and after completely

1092
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 1: lost year in Jacksonville, this is kind of his last chance,

1093
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 1: I think, to put himself on the radar as a

1094
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 1: start of both guys desperately need to get their careers

1095
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 1: back on track, only one guy gets to be the starter. Yes,

1096
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 1: is it's more likely that both guys will end up starting,

1097
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 1: and whoever wins the battle um may end up starting

1098
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 1: only a few games. And Trabinsky feels like the favorite

1099
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:49,720
Speaker 1: at least to come out of camp. But there's also

1100
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 1: other elements of it that are interesting, the fact that

1101
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 1: there might not be a preseason, so the camp is

1102
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 1: going to be complete. The camp competition will be completely

1103
00:57:57,480 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 1: about what's happening on the practice field, and and had

1104
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 1: his Naggie makes sense of that. I'm just really looking

1105
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:05,520
Speaker 1: forward to seeing how that all shakes out, because Rabinsky

1106
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:09,920
Speaker 1: is borderline tragic figure at this point in Bears history,

1107
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:12,600
Speaker 1: where and Folds is just like a really likable guy

1108
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 1: that has had highs that really not many people have

1109
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 1: ever reached in the league. I mean I think that

1110
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 1: they I feel like they've been sheltering Miss Robinsky about

1111
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 1: as much as a you know, top two quarterback pick

1112
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:26,880
Speaker 1: has ever been sheltered. And if anything, you want, if

1113
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 1: you want to flip the script on him, I would

1114
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 1: view Folds as the heavy heavy favorite, especially in a

1115
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 1: preseason list. Uh, you know, offseason where three coaches on

1116
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball have worked with Nick

1117
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 1: Foles and all signed off on paying him a lot

1118
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 1: of money. And if anything, if we assume, and I'm

1119
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 1: with you, that Nick Foles will probably play and then

1120
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 1: Sobel Trabinsky, have Rabinsky come in and be the guy that, um,

1121
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:53,520
Speaker 1: you know, get that they're cheering for because Folds potentially

1122
00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 1: fails or he succeeds. I would be shocked if Rabinsky

1123
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:59,320
Speaker 1: won that job. I would I would really question what's

1124
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 1: happening there. That's the trajectory. Would also raised a question,

1125
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 1: what is a camp out. I'm gonna be like this year,

1126
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:07,880
Speaker 1: you know, I don't I don't know. Uh, there's gonna

1127
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 1: be less reporters there. It's gonna take a little while

1128
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:13,960
Speaker 1: to ramp up. They'll be like a whole new I

1129
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 1: think COVID related series of tropes. So that's exciting. Everything's fine,

1130
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. There's gotta be like COVID

1131
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 1: trope of like how they're surviving this particular weird camp battle.

1132
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 1: And for what it's worth. Back in May, Naggi said

1133
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:33,920
Speaker 1: that both Fulls and Robiski will play with the starters

1134
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 1: during the preseason, while it's probably not gonna be a

1135
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 1: preseason or anything close to what was imagined back in

1136
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 1: the spring. So yeah, it's going to be a challenge

1137
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 1: for the coaching staff to discern who is the guy

1138
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:45,920
Speaker 1: who should be starting with team. We'll see where that goes.

1139
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 1: Anybody else have another one? I have one quick one

1140
00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 1: because the other thing I get into a certain seasons.

1141
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:53,040
Speaker 1: I can think of like the two thousand and twelve

1142
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 1: campaign when the read option in college stuff hit the

1143
00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:00,120
Speaker 1: the NFL play callers and it just was this, you

1144
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,520
Speaker 1: know revolution. I think most college fans were like, we've

1145
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 1: been watching this for a decade, but suddenly it's new

1146
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 1: to you. But it was a fascinating season because of

1147
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 1: r G three and you had, you know, the rise

1148
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 1: of Colin Kaepernick and Russell Wilson and others that I

1149
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:16,920
Speaker 1: want to see coming out of this really really weird preseason.

1150
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna go into Week one. Everything is gonna be great,

1151
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 1: but what does it mean strategy wise? I'm with you,

1152
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna be great, but I I wonder if there

1153
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 1: is a huge advantage for a team like the Baltimore Ravens.

1154
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:31,120
Speaker 1: Who are you know, it's gonna take probably a month

1155
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 1: plus for these passing attacks to get in sync. You're

1156
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:36,960
Speaker 1: a run heavy offense. You ran the ball nine more

1157
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 1: times than the second most run heavy team in the

1158
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 1: league last year. You can stick to that versus having

1159
01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 1: to change it. Um it fits your scheme so well.

1160
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:47,440
Speaker 1: They have like five running backs that could start all

1161
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 1: over the place. And maybe it's a team like the

1162
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:52,640
Speaker 1: Niners that you know that we hear that Raheem Mustard

1163
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:55,160
Speaker 1: is talking with the team again that trade is not

1164
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:57,919
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Please that these two, the two most run

1165
01:00:57,920 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 1: heavy teams in the league could get off the fast

1166
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:02,880
Speaker 1: starts based on the fact that, you know, life and

1167
01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:05,480
Speaker 1: football take time to plan, and the planning process just

1168
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:07,640
Speaker 1: won't be there the same way that it's been there

1169
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:09,960
Speaker 1: in the past. Who are the rookies that thrived right

1170
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,440
Speaker 1: away running backs? Like It's like, it just seems like

1171
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 1: a good situation for an old school run heavy first

1172
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 1: month of football. I agree, and I also think it's

1173
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 1: it's so much of this season is gonna be I

1174
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:24,640
Speaker 1: know where you know, everything's fine, and it is, but

1175
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 1: if you want to spend it positive in that way.

1176
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 1: It's like this, it being so different is an opportunity

1177
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 1: for a lot of coaches and players, but especially coaches

1178
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:38,920
Speaker 1: to stand out to do things either a little different

1179
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 1: or have their team a little more together than other

1180
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:44,439
Speaker 1: teams like and in theory at the NFL usually doesn't

1181
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:46,040
Speaker 1: work like this, but it's been going that way. Like

1182
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 1: it's an opportunity to be a little more creative and

1183
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 1: a little to think a little different, like Mark Sane,

1184
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 1: like some teams that are zigging like that, and it

1185
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 1: certainly worked last year for the Ravens and Niners might

1186
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 1: might come out like a house on fire if if

1187
01:01:57,640 --> 01:02:00,680
Speaker 1: they've got their stuff together. What if you wanted what

1188
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:03,960
Speaker 1: if one team said forget everyone and freak You know what,

1189
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:05,840
Speaker 1: you have nice families, but you're gonna see them in

1190
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:10,800
Speaker 1: six months. We're gonna we're gonna bubble were there. They're

1191
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:13,640
Speaker 1: not gonna let him do that. I'm just saying the

1192
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 1: way you're describing, No, you're describing what it's like to

1193
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 1: be on the New England Patriots. And they're gonna thrive

1194
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:21,960
Speaker 1: in this setting. They come, they're absolutely gonna thrive in

1195
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:24,440
Speaker 1: this scenario. I just I'm a little worried about that

1196
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:27,040
Speaker 1: because I don't think they're a talent rich team anymore

1197
01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:29,919
Speaker 1: and they're not special. But if I had to pick

1198
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 1: one team that will handle this better, it would probably

1199
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 1: be the Belichick To remember, like when they got rid

1200
01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 1: of it in September, Remember when they find a Dahlias

1201
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 1: Thomas because he couldn't drive through the snowstorm to get

1202
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 1: the practice or whatever it's gonna be. It's gonna be

1203
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 1: like that. I'm gonna throw out a couple of quick

1204
01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:46,680
Speaker 1: with since you didn't. How about Odell Beckham? How about

1205
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:49,520
Speaker 1: the blonde Nodell Becka. He's blonde, he's back, he's sick

1206
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:51,720
Speaker 1: of being humble, just like Kim Newton. I don't know

1207
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:53,760
Speaker 1: if you saw some of those like I wanna. I

1208
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 1: want to. I want to see, oh b j on

1209
01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 1: you know, on ten or what if that was? I mean,

1210
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. Some of this stuff is him just

1211
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:03,160
Speaker 1: making up stuff after the fact. How about Odell Belgo

1212
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:05,840
Speaker 1: play a little better? Everything got put on that injury,

1213
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 1: come down with a contested catch. I don't know. He

1214
01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 1: was moving pretty well some of that time. So even

1215
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:11,400
Speaker 1: though he was injured, he did not play that well.

1216
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 1: And this is one of the most transformative players that

1217
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:16,919
Speaker 1: Chris Wessling Um like the calm I've he's ever seen

1218
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 1: that I've ever seen. He just didn't have a good season.

1219
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 1: And I think Um, for whatever reason, Baker was part

1220
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 1: of that. There's a lot that was part of it,

1221
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 1: but he didn't play well. Odell Beckham didn't play well.

1222
01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:27,960
Speaker 1: I think that got lost like a little bit. There

1223
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:30,280
Speaker 1: were so many balls he did not come down with

1224
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:32,160
Speaker 1: that he could and it wouldn't surprise me. If he

1225
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 1: comes out and you get you get the best Odell Beckham.

1226
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:38,840
Speaker 1: I believe that you should. One thought on Beckham, and

1227
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:40,960
Speaker 1: I think this has been glossed over, is that he's

1228
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:44,000
Speaker 1: always been injury prone since he came into the league.

1229
01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 1: And the one concerned with him is that, especially as

1230
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:50,160
Speaker 1: he's getting older. And I think he's still only twenty

1231
01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:52,520
Speaker 1: eight or something, But is this just a guy that

1232
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 1: his body isn't built to play sixteen games on a

1233
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:58,160
Speaker 1: regular basis. So I think when he's healthy, like right now,

1234
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 1: I believe him when he says I've ever felt better,

1235
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 1: and I'm his explosive ever in my blonde hair, and

1236
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:05,680
Speaker 1: now I feel like I'm myself again. Whatever that means,

1237
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 1: but what happens when the contact starts? Can he stay

1238
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:12,440
Speaker 1: healthy and stay explosive well to he played through it.

1239
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 1: I mean there are other wide receivers that might not

1240
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:16,320
Speaker 1: have They would have used it as a reason and

1241
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 1: as a in a season going south to get out

1242
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:20,640
Speaker 1: of there. I can think of another receiver in the

1243
01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:23,040
Speaker 1: state of Ohio that never played a game last year,

1244
01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:24,480
Speaker 1: and I think he could have towards the end of

1245
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:28,479
Speaker 1: the year. Oh A J. Green taking fire and second

1246
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown could have played at the end of the year.

1247
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:35,920
Speaker 1: I think they they they advertised that from October on. Now,

1248
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:37,160
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know what was going on with

1249
01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:39,400
Speaker 1: his body, but Odell Beckham play. I'm not getting on

1250
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 1: him for playing through injury, but I also think a

1251
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:44,880
Speaker 1: lot of at some point you have to judge what's

1252
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 1: out on the field. And he also moved really well

1253
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:50,360
Speaker 1: a lot of the time, so that part of it

1254
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:52,440
Speaker 1: was confusing to me that when I was seeing him

1255
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:56,120
Speaker 1: dust people um and and the contestant catch that. You know,

1256
01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 1: it's just I just I think I'd like to think

1257
01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:01,680
Speaker 1: that we have not seeing the best of Oldell Beckham,

1258
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:03,680
Speaker 1: or at least that that will see the best of

1259
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:06,480
Speaker 1: Odo Beckham again and and this is this is the

1260
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 1: prime year to do it. That's all. The reason he's

1261
01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 1: not on the Giants anymore is because he drove them

1262
01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 1: crazy right right right, which is not done in Cleveland.

1263
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:17,880
Speaker 1: But you need you need to see him crazy in

1264
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 1: terms of you know, whether he can be ever be

1265
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:22,960
Speaker 1: that guy again that he was earlier in his career.

1266
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:26,200
Speaker 1: He's certainly got to get by. I listen, Mark, you

1267
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:28,440
Speaker 1: you always think that I'm coming after the Browns. I

1268
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 1: think he can certainly still be that guy. And if

1269
01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 1: Baker can clean things up, they're going to be a

1270
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:39,160
Speaker 1: monster offense potentially. Right There's a lot. I mean, Jervis

1271
01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:42,320
Speaker 1: Landry is a really fun player to watch. Nick Chubb

1272
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 1: is a fun player to watch. If you actually got

1273
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:47,240
Speaker 1: Pete Beckham, and then you know you got in Joco

1274
01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:49,680
Speaker 1: and Hunter who are are good and fun too. But

1275
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:54,480
Speaker 1: that's like a handful of pretty special and unique players

1276
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:55,920
Speaker 1: on the on the same team. And I know we

1277
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:58,080
Speaker 1: kind of talked about that last year and everything, but

1278
01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:00,120
Speaker 1: they're still there, and I think it could be be

1279
01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:03,880
Speaker 1: fun my last one really quick. The Bengals could be

1280
01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:05,360
Speaker 1: a lot of fun to watch this year. We've been

1281
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:09,240
Speaker 1: hitting on this on the show. But if you're Joe Burrow,

1282
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:14,080
Speaker 1: who seems like Andrew Luck type guy where every five

1283
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:16,120
Speaker 1: or six years someone comes into the league and it

1284
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:18,360
Speaker 1: just feels like it's a slam dunk. Matthew Stafford was

1285
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:20,480
Speaker 1: another one, even though that took a couple of years

1286
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 1: to get role because the injuries. If he hits the

1287
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:26,080
Speaker 1: ground running with that offense, the Bengals could be like

1288
01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:29,680
Speaker 1: a playoff team potentially, and that would be I think

1289
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:31,520
Speaker 1: people are gonna be shocked if the Bengals are in

1290
01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:35,000
Speaker 1: the mix in December because football will be playing in December,

1291
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:39,600
Speaker 1: because nothing is wrong. I won't be because I think

1292
01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:42,480
Speaker 1: if you have everything is about the quarterback. Everybody knows that, Like,

1293
01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 1: if you get that guy in place, things could change

1294
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:49,080
Speaker 1: very quickly. And uh, if you're Cincinnati fan, this is

1295
01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:51,520
Speaker 1: why West, especially in this time when he's he's down

1296
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:53,400
Speaker 1: on the canvas and he's working to get his way

1297
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:55,080
Speaker 1: back again, I feel like this is when he should

1298
01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:56,600
Speaker 1: fall in love with the Bengals again. In fact, I'm

1299
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:58,520
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna text him after the show about this.

1300
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, you got the readied right now? The Bangals.

1301
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:03,880
Speaker 1: This is the time I've been saying that this is

1302
01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:06,160
Speaker 1: the time to embrace the Bengals again, and this time

1303
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:09,320
Speaker 1: of take care of you. Yeah. I don't know if

1304
01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:11,960
Speaker 1: he'd go full on, but he has kind of admitted,

1305
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:15,040
Speaker 1: I think, on this show and and to us that

1306
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:18,000
Speaker 1: you know this, this is the most excited he's been

1307
01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:20,640
Speaker 1: about them in a long time. That said, does West

1308
01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:24,360
Speaker 1: strike you as someone when another man comes and says

1309
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 1: you will now be a fan of this team, that

1310
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:28,200
Speaker 1: he's just gonna go do it. I don't. That's not

1311
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:30,480
Speaker 1: the West that I'm familiar with. So no, probably you

1312
01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:32,919
Speaker 1: know you're right about that. And you mentioned Antonio Brown.

1313
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:36,680
Speaker 1: Greg he sent a flurry of tweets today. Let me

1314
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 1: just read them. I almost take this at the same

1315
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:41,440
Speaker 1: grand assault and the importance in the news cycles as

1316
01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:45,680
Speaker 1: I treat Kanye West talking about Harriet Tubman during campaign

1317
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:48,960
Speaker 1: rallies for president. But here are the tweets. Antonio Brown,

1318
01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:52,400
Speaker 1: is it time to walk away? I've done everything in

1319
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:54,680
Speaker 1: this game. That was a weird one. I don't know.

1320
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:57,919
Speaker 1: That's tough one to put together. Next tweet. At this point,

1321
01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:00,360
Speaker 1: the risk is greater than the reward. Thank you everyone

1322
01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:03,000
Speaker 1: who who's been part of this journey. I sincerely thank

1323
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:06,160
Speaker 1: you for everything. Life goes on four and then another

1324
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 1: one I came. I saw I conquered. Mission complete, Call God,

1325
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:13,960
Speaker 1: Mission complete, Call God. So I guess he Antonio Brown

1326
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:18,120
Speaker 1: retired today. I get someone pointed out, I guess he's

1327
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:20,519
Speaker 1: done this two other times, so that I didn't realize

1328
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:24,080
Speaker 1: that he's in September, right, He's retired a few other times,

1329
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:27,360
Speaker 1: So I guess we'll We'll save the Santney Antonio Brown

1330
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:31,200
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame discussion for another day. Can we fire

1331
01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:33,720
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown? By the way that people having those you're

1332
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:36,719
Speaker 1: you guys are crazy the best receiver I've ever seen.

1333
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 1: I mean that, I think people are getting a little

1334
01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 1: too crazy of like Antonio Brown was such a mess

1335
01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:44,400
Speaker 1: and how it's ended, that's like, you're crazy. He was

1336
01:08:45,280 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 1: something better at the same time, Why is that happening

1337
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 1: right now? Wait? Wait wait, wait, wait wait, I feel

1338
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:54,120
Speaker 1: like we should fire the story into the sun until

1339
01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:58,280
Speaker 1: I agree. I think you're right. You're right, Ricky fired

1340
01:08:58,320 --> 01:09:10,599
Speaker 1: that thing up all right before we go, let's spin

1341
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:13,200
Speaker 1: the wheel teams. Yeah, it's still happening. You thought it

1342
01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:16,719
Speaker 1: was over. It ain't spinning the wheel teams wherever it lands.

1343
01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:18,920
Speaker 1: That is, the team will do a deep dive on

1344
01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:23,080
Speaker 1: for Wednesday's show, Ricky, the wheel has now eliminated what

1345
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:26,120
Speaker 1: six or seven teams? It is time now to spin

1346
01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:39,160
Speaker 1: it again. Right here we go Spring, Oh, look at

1347
01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:50,240
Speaker 1: that New York just agree your worst nightmare confirmed. Well,

1348
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:53,759
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking back to the conversations before the show

1349
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:57,439
Speaker 1: or Dan is you know, pushing the let's let's do

1350
01:09:57,520 --> 01:10:00,400
Speaker 1: this one more time? And then I even and see

1351
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:03,320
Speaker 1: as we you know, our listeners can't see it, but

1352
01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:05,439
Speaker 1: you can check it out. I don't know if you

1353
01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:08,040
Speaker 1: put this on Instagram or not. The wheel suddenly like

1354
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:11,360
Speaker 1: stops and like jerks back a little unnaturally right when

1355
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 1: it gets to the Jets, and it just everything doesn't

1356
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:16,599
Speaker 1: feel totally above board here, that's all. And there were

1357
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:18,720
Speaker 1: there were issues out of the gate when I you know,

1358
01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:22,200
Speaker 1: casual character assassination from Greg nothing, No, I think it's

1359
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:24,479
Speaker 1: I think Greg is on point. I mean when we

1360
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:28,559
Speaker 1: when we correctly predicted the team the first time, people

1361
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:30,640
Speaker 1: thought is this fixed? What are these guys up to?

1362
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:33,880
Speaker 1: These clowns? Um those questions went away, and I think

1363
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:37,320
