1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? How are we doing?

2
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: John Middlecoff three and now podcast back at it again.

3
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: Rogers starting to piss off people. They aren't even on

4
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: his team yet. Cam Hayward had some comments and I

5
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: don't know about you, but getting tired of this story.

6
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: So we will dive into that. Some stuff going on

7
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: in the college football world. Dean Sanders wants to play

8
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: another team in the spring game. Belichick Frolicking along the Beach,

9
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: Deeply in Love and Happy to Gilmore Too is about

10
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: to be released on Netflix, as well as A long

11
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: mail bag at John Middlecoff. At John Middlecoff is the

12
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: Instagram fire in those dms. We will do a mail

13
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: bag today and do another one tomorrow. We got a

14
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: lot of mailbag questions, so keep firing in those dms

15
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: and we'll just keep plugging along. The draft about a

16
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: month away. Over a month away month and a couple

17
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: of weeks, so kind of that downtime when you know

18
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: guys are taking visits, pro days are wrapping up. By

19
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: the end of the month, all these teams will be

20
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: kind of reconvening at their home bases and setting their

21
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 1: draft board and going over reports and then the draft

22
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: will take place in late April, so buckle up. Other

23
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: than that, nothing else to report beside subscribe to the podcast.

26
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: my friends, my partners in the official ticket a gap

27
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: of this podcast Game Time. Look down my television this

28
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: morning and I saw the wait the Dodgers Opening day opening.

29
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they do that thing where they go to

30
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: a different country and they play games and then they

31
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: come back spring training. It's like hard to follow with baseball,

32
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: but it does signal that like Major League Baseball, and

33
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: the opening day is right around the corner. So if

34
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: you want to go to a game, we got hockey

35
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: playoffs right around the corner. You got NBA playoffs right

36
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: around the corner. Concerts if you want to get out

37
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,880

52
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: it feels like we're coming down the home stretch, but

53
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: I would not be confident saying that out loud. One

54
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: thing is clear, as this is starting to bleed in

55
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: to his potential future teammates, where Cam Hayward, who has

56
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: actually been on this podcast before Absolute stud made some

57
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: comments today he's clearly tired of it, because it does

58
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: feel It's one thing. If you're the New York Giants

59
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: and you are completely desperate, what else are you gonna do?

60
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: You literally have no options. Not that the Steelers have

61
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: a lot of options, because they don't either, but it

62
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: does feel like, wait, this franchise, we're waiting and on

63
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: this forty one year old guy to make a decision

64
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: where it feels like he's actually begging for Kevin O'Connell

65
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: to give him a call. My overall take is this

66
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: is one story that I'm sorry, I'm kind of out on,

67
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: Like I just don't care that much about I'm sad.

68
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: It hurts me to admit this, But Maria loves some

69
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: shows on Bravo, Southern Charm, Southern Hospitality, Summer House, And

70
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: I'd be lying if I said that I didn't get

71
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: into parts of those shows and get I don't want

72
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: to say enjoy them, but did watch a lot of them.

73
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: Then there got to a point, almost like a line

74
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: of diminishing returns, that I was like, I can't do

75
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: this anymore. The same people have been on the same

76
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: shows for years. It's one thing when you're twenty eight,

77
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: when you're twenty four, when you're thirty and you are

78
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: making money on television. Some of these people, like forty

79
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: five years old. There are pregnant women on this show.

80
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: I can't take this seriously. I feel like I'm getting

81
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: dumber consuming this content. And I knew she had lost

82
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,119
Speaker 1: me when she had rewound something I had already seen,

83
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, I can't rewatch this for a second time.

84
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: I Am going to lose my mind. That's what I

85
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: feel like with his Aaron Rodgers situation, we are discussing

86
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: a forty one year old over the hill, not that

87
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: good play of a player anymore. And listen, I have

88
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: beat the drum for years of like, honestly, I think

89
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: like Aaron Rodgers underrated. I think he's easily one of

90
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: the best players in any sport I've ever witnessed, and

91
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: the stuff he did in his prime for Green Bay,

92
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: but even those couple of years with Lafloor, it's like

93
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: this guy I don't even think gets his proper due.

94
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,799
Speaker 1: Now we can nitpick some of his performances in the playoffs,

95
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: not all of his fault the defense let him down,

96
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 1: but and I often thought some of the controversies with them, like,

97
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people agreed with a stance

98
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: when it came to getting the job. I don't think

99
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: he was alone. And I'm not even talking about the

100
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: general public. I'm talking about the players. The coaches. Don't

101
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: act like he was some outlier. You know, Now, once

102
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 1: you start getting to the ayahuasca, the darkness retreat. I

103
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: try to be open minded. I'm all about trying to

104
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: have some self improvement. So if taking some drugs out

105
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: in the wilderness, sitting in the room with no light

106
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: helps you find some mental clarity, listen for each his

107
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: own and listen, we've all I don't care who you are.

108
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: This notion that all of our families are like each other's,

109
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: like all of our families have different elements of being

110
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: batshit crazy, And clearly Rogers' situation has been a driving

111
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: force of the conversation. I showed Maria the clip of

112
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: I didn't watch the Netflix documentary, but like the preview

113
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: where Jordan had put out the plate, it's like, like,

114
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it's easy to point the finger at Rogers.

115
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: I don't know all the information that happened here, but

116
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: that was whack job behavior by his family to do

117
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: that on national television. So I supported him there, Like

118
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: that's like I'm pointing the finger at brother and parents

119
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: on that one. But like this situation now, like what

120
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: are we talking about? Sam Darnold and Geno Smith just

121
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: had a dramatically stronger market than this guy. At least

122
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: we can all acknowledge, Like Russell Wilson is kind of

123
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: an irrelevant player now. He just does not matter to

124
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: the landscape of the league. It does feel like we're

125
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: still holding on to Rogers. It's like, could the Steelers

126
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: could he what throw some touchdown? Sure? Would they be

127
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: good with him? No, they would not. At forty one

128
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: years old, he doesn't want to get hit playing in

129
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: the cold, like it ain't gonna work. And I just

130
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: think this story. I get it. He's one of the

131
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: most famous players in an era where the NFL has

132
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: never been more popular. He's definitely one of the bigger

133
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: names in all of sports. But I do belie leave

134
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: this and this happened to the NBA, Like the biggest

135
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: stories in the NBA the last couple of years have

136
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: nothing to do with basketball, right and listen, Having transactions

137
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: be a big part of your league is not always

138
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: a bad thing. We talk a lot about trades and

139
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: draft picks and signings in football, but when that is

140
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: the defining attribute of your league, you have a big problem.

141
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: And when you talk about the NBA, like what are

142
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: the biggest things to happen, they're always like trades or

143
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: steven A and Lebron yelling at each other. It's never like, hey,

144
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 1: did you see that fourth quarter of the Warriors and

145
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 1: the Nuggets. No one gives a fuck, and that is

146
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: a problem. Luckily for the NFL, they still hang their

147
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: hat on the games. Now, it's obviously the spring and

148
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: football is not coming back for five or six months,

149
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: so this is all we have to talk about are transactions.

150
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 1: But it does feel like we've crossed the line of

151
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if most people care about this story,

152
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: because I know me personally. I do the for a living,

153
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I don't give a shit. I understand

154
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: where Cam Hayward's from, Like I'm tired of talking about

155
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: come or don't come, but like, stop asking us all

156
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: about it. Make your fucking decision now. I think there's

157
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: an element in Diana Russini has reported about this, like

158
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: is he just waiting for Minnesota to call him? I

159
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: think it's a pretty big risk for Minnesota to go

160
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: down that road. But I also think that just going

161
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: with JJ also is a big risk, Like that could

162
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: be a disaster, very possible. This notion that he's just

163
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: some plug and play and they're gonna keep kicking ass,

164
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 1: Like that's not the way football works, especially for a

165
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: guy that's never thrown more than twenty two touchdowns in college,

166
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 1: all of a sudden he's gonna carry an offense. I

167
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 1: don't know. I would pump the brakes on being confident

168
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: on that one, especially coming off a couple of injuries

169
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: when he's really skinny. That is why I'm sure they're

170
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: having these discussions. But this discussion about like could he

171
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: save the Steelers or what could he do with the

172
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 1: like nothing, He's not going to do anything. Speaking of

173
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: a guy that I think once upon a time a

174
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: lot of people just thought he was a big talker

175
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: and they turned out like, no, I'm actually pretty good

176
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: football coach Dean Sanders and Deon Sanders recently a couple

177
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: days ago, went on a rant about the spring game,

178
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: which in college football has been I would say, like

179
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: universally canceled, which is not ideal for these programs partners

180
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 1: who pay them all the money, I e. ESPN, Fox, CBS.

181
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: If you notice, during the spring, historically those games are broadcasts,

182
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: even if they're pretty stupid, it's content. Guess what people watch. Alabama, LSU,

183
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: Ohio State, Michigan play spring football. And now most of

184
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: these programs like we're out, And I get where they're

185
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: coming from, right, They don't want anyone to steal their players.

186
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: Matt Rule kind of started this trend, which Nebraska their

187
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: spring game, I don't know gets eighty thousand people is

188
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: kind of a big deal, and then it feels like

189
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: everyone else follows suit and Deon Sanders went the opposite way.

190
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: Not only do I want to hold a spring game,

191
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: I want to play another team. And I'm trying to

192
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: convince the powers that be i e. My AD and

193
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: my president this is a good idea. And I think

194
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: what he's saying is like, we will pay someone to

195
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: come here for five or six days, practice us for

196
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: a couple of days that wouldn't be on television, and

197
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: then play in a spring game, which would be awesome.

198
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: And ultimately, I think there might be an angle here

199
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: that once they figure out this revenue sharing and you

200
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: don't have to worry and the transfer portal can change

201
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: a little bit. There's one free agency like there is

202
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: in the NFL. This is your week, and if you're

203
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: not signed or you don't move teams, you're staying on

204
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 1: the team. Instead of all these different windows and this

205
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: window after spring ball, which all these coaches are terrified

206
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: that if all of a sudden they have a spring

207
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: game and someone sees that my backup tackle is awesome, well,

208
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: they'll get I'm on the horn and they'll say how

209
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: much you make it. He'll say three hundred grand. They'll say,

210
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: I'll offer you five hundred thousand dollars and I'll make

211
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: you my starting right tackle. And that's the problem where

212
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: most of these coaches don't want to deal with. But

213
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: I applaud Deon Sanders for thinking like this, because it's

214
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: just this is entertainment, and I think anytime that you

215
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: get off the road of like what the whole point

216
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: of this is and the reason these networks pay you

217
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: all this money is people like watching it and it's

218
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: a really big deal. And college football is currently the

219
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: number two sport in America for a reason. We love football,

220
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: but like the current state and the way everything's going

221
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: with everyone pulling back is not an ideal situation. And

222
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: someone asked me yesterday, like Deon Sanders, if Deon Sanders

223
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: has a good season this year, and a good season

224
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: at Colorado is different than Texas and Alabama and LSU,

225
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: it's like eight wins if he wins eight games with

226
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: Shador and Travis Hunter gone like get ready. I don't

227
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: see how some of these massive programs, if they have openings,

228
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: don't make Deon Sanders their first call. Another story that's

229
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: actually kind of funny Belichick, who it's you know, very

230
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: public relationship with this young lady who's twenty four years

231
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 1: old named Jordan that clearly North Carolina looks like he

232
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: is on spring break, and Belichick was on the beach

233
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: with Jordan doing like the move where you put Usually

234
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: you do it like your children or your nephews or whatever,

235
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: where you lift them up and they kind of fly

236
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: like an airplane above you. But Bill was doing it

237
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: with his girlfriend, and while everyone laughs, I also feel

238
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: there is this undertone, especially from like the media elites,

239
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,719
Speaker 1: that like, how disgusting this is that this seventy four

240
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: year old man is sleeping with this girl who probably

241
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: doesn't like him except because he's rich and powerful. It's like, yeah, guys,

242
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: no shit, what do you want Bill Belichick at seventy three,

243
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: seventy four years old to do. He's single and he's rich.

244
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: You think he's going to be sleeping with grandma? Of

245
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: course not, none of you would either, I don't blame

246
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: Bill at all for doing this. And here's the one

247
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: thing I respect about Bill. I would say, historically, rumors

248
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: in the football world, You know, the NFL is a

249
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: lot different than college. In the NFL, you go to

250
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: essentially like a corporate office. Well, the most of the

251
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: people you see throughout the week are your coaching staff,

252
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: maybe people in your scouting staff, your training staff, and

253
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: your players. In college football, and I worked on a

254
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: college campus for a couple of years before I went

255
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: to the Eagles, you're around a lot of ladies, not

256
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: just the other girls and coaches that are in the

257
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: athletic department, but when you go to lunch, when sometimes

258
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: you walk around campus, you see the people on campus,

259
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: which obviously they are young guys, there are also a

260
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: lot of young women. And I have heard countless rumors,

261
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: some that have been verified, of coaches who are quote

262
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: unquote happily married, having a side place, sleeping with co

263
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: eds and forever it was like, and I think society

264
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: was a lot like this. Don't say anything, keep quiet,

265
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: They don't need to know. Those days are fucking over.

266
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: We kind of know everything. And anyone with a brain

267
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: that can use common sense understands like, yeah, this is

268
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: probably going on. So the one thing I will say

269
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: about Bill Belichick, and you can crush him for a

270
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: lot of things over the years, he ain't hiding shit.

271
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: He ain't pretending that he's not running around with someone

272
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: fifty years younger than him, unlike a lot of coaches

273
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: who then go home to their wives and families who

274
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: also have the side young girlfriend. So like Belichick, who

275
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: I think is being harshly judged by a lot of people,

276
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: like give me a break. So props to Bill for

277
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: finding love and just doing it publicly. Before we dive

278
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: into Laramie Tunzel really quick, I do. I always get

279
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: scared when a movie like Happy Gilmour gets redone and

280
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: it happens a lot, right, we have seen Jurassic Park two,

281
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: We've seen I mean a lot of movies have two, three,

282
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: four versions of their original movie for a reason it

283
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: was successful, and usually successful movies you believe you can

284
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: do it again, and sometimes they become a big deal.

285
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: I would say the most historic one probably of my lifetime,

286
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: would be the Rocky series. But recently John Wick, they

287
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: had a lot of success and they just continued making them.

288
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: But anytime you get into a situation where the movie

289
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: was a really big deal and then there are decades

290
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: that pass before you make another one, I get nervous.

291
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: So when I saw the trailer today, and we've known

292
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: it was happening, especially if you follow golf, because all

293
00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: these guys were involved in it, given that meaning the pros.

294
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: So I was like, I don't know, man, sometimes just

295
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: let something great be, don't try to follow it up.

296
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 1: And when I saw the trailer, I honestly thought a

297
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: little cheesy. I'm like, I don't think this is gonna work.

298
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: And then the trailer ends and it goes we'll go

299
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 1: straight to Netflix. I'm like, actually, don't judge it as

300
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: harshly because anytime, and I think this shows you how

301
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: the world has changed, you know before I remember going

302
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: to Bad Boys too when I was in high school,

303
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: and there was probably almost a decade maybe a little

304
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 1: less eight years between those two movies, and it was

305
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: a really big deal, and obviously it was a big hit.

306
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: And then they didn't make Bad Boys three till almost

307
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: twenty years later, which I still have yet to watch

308
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: and just refuse to watch, like I'm out this one.

309
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: If it had been in the theaters kind of would

310
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: have made me sad. It would have been like, I

311
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: don't know, man, but going straight to Netflix, like, I

312
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: will never complain. You can do whatever you want if

313
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: you make the ability for me to consume your content

314
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 1: the moment it comes out from my bedroom. And I

315
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: give Adam Sandler credit. Clearly he's done a lot of

316
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: business with Netflix. He's created these movies. Even if Happy

317
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 1: Gilmore two doesn't sniff the original, good news for you,

318
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 1: it won't not as bothered if I just have to

319
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: press one button while I'm in my pajamas on a

320
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: Wednesday night. Okay, let's welcome everybody to Chasing Challenges brought

321
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: to you by Microsoft in the NFL. Just like in

322
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: the business world, overcoming obstacles is key to success. Microsoft

323
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: empowers businesses decision makers with AI solutions, simplified cloud in

324
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: data management, and trustworthy responsible technology to turn challenges into opportunities.

325
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: In this segment, we explore some of the biggest challenges

326
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: being faced in the NFL and how they can be over.

327
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 1: Whatever challenge you're facing, Microsoft empowers you with the expertise

328
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: to say bring it on. This week, we're discussing the

329
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: challenges faced by the Washington Commanders. Adam Peters, who before

330
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 1: he took the GM job, spent years being John Lynch's

331
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: right hand man with the San Francisco forty nine Ers,

332
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: was a part of a major left tackle trade when

333
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 1: they traded for Trent Williams, and the Niners got lucky

334
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: because when they traded for Trent Williams, they didn't have

335
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 1: to pay as much because he was like retired and

336
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: he could kind of control his way there. Well. Laramie

337
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: Tunzell was secretly because Casario's a Belichick guy on the

338
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: block for a while. And I talked to countless teams,

339
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: some AFC teams, playoff teams that were like, we had

340
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: talked to them about Laramie Tunzell, but given that we'll

341
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: probably play them in the playoffs, their asking price for

342
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: us was dramatically higher than what it was for the Commanders,

343
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: And what it was for the Commanders is not cheap.

344
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: They're giving him a third round pick this year, They're

345
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: giving him a second round pick next year. And the

346
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 1: reason that they were willing to do that for a

347
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: guy who's essentially going into the last year of his

348
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 1: contract and is going to want I would say twenty

349
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: seven to thirty million dollars a year with one hundred

350
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: plus million dollars guaranteed. If not this offseason, next offseason

351
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,959
Speaker 1: was worth doing it for is because of the position

352
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: he played, and once the Commanders had a really good season,

353
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: you're not going to get one of the top left

354
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 1: tackles in the draft, and it was worth the risk,

355
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: and they have a bunch of cap space and this

356
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: guy was available, you pull the trigger. But here's the

357
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: thing with Laramy Tunzel. Extremely talented player, one of the

358
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: best pass blockers in the NFL, great athlete average against

359
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: the run, but that's more of an effort thing. He

360
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: had nineteen penalties in twenty and twenty four, which led

361
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: the NFL. So you get a player who's a little older,

362
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: he's going to be over thirty years old, who has

363
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: a bunch of penalties, and who a team who also

364
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 1: has a really good young quarterback on a rookie contract said, yeah,

365
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: we don't want to be in business with this guy anymore.

366
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: So the Commanders who now take Tunzel not only have

367
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 1: to figure out like we got to get the penalties down,

368
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: and Tunzel, in his introductory press conference mentioned that as well,

369
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: but we need you to play well enough where we

370
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 1: are cool with giving you a massive contract. And anytime

371
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: you make these type deals like the Pittsburgh Steelers trade

372
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: for DK METCF, they give a second round pick, but

373
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 1: they pay him a bunch of money. They're just in

374
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: bed together, they're in business together. Like this, they committed

375
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: to each other. This Tunzel thing is like, we paid

376
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: a lot for you, but there's still a feeling out

377
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: process and we want you to show. And they did

378
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: the same thing with Deebo's like, if you ball out,

379
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: we got no problem paying you. But for whatever reason

380
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: that they've punted on you, you got to change a

381
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: little bit as well. So it's on us to give

382
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 1: you a conducive work environment to coach you hard, but

383
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 1: it's also on you to ada to us because you're

384
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: coming to a place that just had way more success

385
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: than the place where you're just coming from. We were

386
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: just in the NFC Championship game, right, You're a team

387
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: that kind of fell off the map a little bit

388
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: this year. So I think I'm fascinated to watch the

389
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: commanders Dan Quinn and Adam Peters navigate the situation. Obviously,

390
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: anytime you get the chance to get a veteran pro

391
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: Bowl level left tackle. You have to think long and

392
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: hard about it. But once you pull the trigger, like

393
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 1: there's no thinking, there's actually now like you're in business

394
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,360
Speaker 1: with this player and it's going to be very very interesting.

395
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: How the commanders, who are have to be the feel

396
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: good story of twenty twenty four handle this, you know,

397
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: pretty interesting situation with the left tackle. So that's it

Speaker 1: fire in those dms. Get your question and right here

430
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: on the podcast. Start with Joey so he's a big

431
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: fan like this guy. Are the Titans playing up how

432
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: much they like Ward to try and entice the Giants

433
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: to give a haul for the pick. I don't understand

434
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: how the Titans don't trade back and gain the Giants'

435
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: first round pick next year. In all likelihood, it would

436
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: probably be a top three pick. They could still get

437
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: a higher end starter and possibly have two top five

438
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: picks next season. Cam Ward wouldn't even have been a

439
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: top four quarterback prospect in the last year's class. I

440
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: don't get why they don't budge Well. I think that

441
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: assumes that the Giants would trade next year's one to

442
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: move up two spots, and I don't know if they would.

443
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: So like anytime that we assume a trade, he takes

444
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: two to taygo right. You can dance by yourself, but

445
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: you usually need a partner. And I think in this situation,

446
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: I think that if the Giants traded their twenty twenty

447
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 1: six first round pick to get up, I think that

448
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: would be insane. So I think part of the Titans

449
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: just need a quarterback, and the betting markets like I

450
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: don't think they're playing it up like they're gonna draft

451
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: cam Warden cam Ward is going to be their pick.

452
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: I'm heading to Scottsdale for a basketball attorney this weekend.

453
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: What's the name of the par three course that does

454
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: night golf. It's called the Grass Clippings. The Grass Clippings

455
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: never been but everyone swears by it. So enjoy Alex

456
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 1: the definition of insanity. I don't even need to read.

457
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: This is doing the same thing over and over. The

458
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: NFL has given us one Gem Darnald taking Geno Smith's

459
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: job yet again, with two more in the wings, Rogers

460
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: pulling a farve and Russell Wilson going to make Kenny

461
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: Pickett rethink being a starter. Do you believe that either

462
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 1: of these scenarios are going to happen? And if they do,

463
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: do you see them working out? Uh? I think I

464
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 1: could see Gino just playing like Gino Smith. He's just solid.

465
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: I think Sam Darnold could be pretty hit or miss.

466
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for the guy, but I think he's going

467
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: to be pretty difficult given how bad their offensive line

468
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: is and they's got rid of DK. I think Ross,

469
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: Rogers and Russell are done like it's over. I mean Russell.

470
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 1: I don't even think Russell is a lock to have

471
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: a job. It would not shock me if nobody signs them.

472
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: He's like toxic. His approval rating not good. So I

473
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 1: have a theory that the recent success of tough running

474
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: teams like Detroit and Philly is a direct reflection and

475
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:49,199
Speaker 1: consequence of the spread offense over the last fifteen to

476
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: twenty years. Teams now have smaller and quicker wide receivers

477
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: and tight ends that are offensive weapons in order to

478
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: effectively run the spread because it's so focused on spreading

479
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 1: you out than taking advantage of the space that's created

480
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: by getting their super quick, extremely agile small players in

481
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: a spot on the field where there's open space for

482
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 1: them to use their skill. As a result of that,

483
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 1: defenses now have to have to have players that can

484
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: match up with these twitchy wide receivers and chase them

485
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 1: all over the field, thus putting them at a disadvantage

486
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: when they play teams like Philly that have big lines

487
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: and big running backs and big tight ends that can

488
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: hammer the old school running game. Because modern defenses primarily,

489
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: linebackers are not equipped to defend that type offense. If

490
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: more teams now start to copy Philly or Detroit in

491
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: the run game, do you think we will see defenses

492
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: rebuild themselves in order to get bigger linebackers. Well, those

493
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: linebackers don't exist. Like when I was growing up, most

494
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: linebackers weigh two hundred and fifty two hundred and sixty

495
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy pounds, and their job was to

496
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: meet guys like Lorenzo O'Neill in the hole and get

497
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: in a one on one guys like ray Lewis. People

498
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: questioned him coming out in the draft because he weighed

499
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: like two hundred and thirty pounds. Now, obviously as he

500
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: got older he got bigger, But ray Lewis the way

501
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: he played in college two hundred and twenty five two

502
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty, two hundred and thirty five pound linebackers that

503
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: can play in space are what everyone wants, So you go,

504
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: could it shift the other way? Those players don't exist

505
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: in college. There aren't middle linebackers that look like Ken

506
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: Norton junior, that look like you know, those type linebackers

507
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: that fill the hole. You know, Drod Mayo or I

508
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: guess Brandon Spikes was more of that guy. Like those

509
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: type players that you know, probably ten years ago, were

510
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: slowly phased out and considered two down plays, which is stupid,

511
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: you know line now because like two down players just

512
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: meant on first and second down. When people run the ball, well,

513
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: people pass it on all the time on first down.

514
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: It's why you need versatile linebackers, guys that can run

515
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: and play in space. Even the best linebackers in the

516
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: league Rokwan Smith and Fred Warner would not be considered

517
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: like stack and shed taking on guards and centers in

518
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: the hole. That is not what they do. So I

519
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: just think the player has changed. The game has changed

520
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: a lot, but so like the way college football, they

521
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: don't exist. It's why it's hard to find offensive linemen

522
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: in the draft now because there aren't like these teams

523
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: like IOWA. In what Alabama used to do in the

524
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: first you know, half of the saban era, it was

525
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: easy to find guards and centers that would translate to

526
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: the way people played. In the NFL. It is much

527
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: more difficult because everyone is running the spread offense. It's

528
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: why the NFL has added a lot of those concepts

529
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: to the offense. You know, Lane Johnson is thirty five

530
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: years old, he's a throwback player. Jordan Malatta, they got

531
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: pretty lucky finding him in Australia. You know, Landon Dickerson's

532
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: an Alabama guy. So I think it's difficult to find

533
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: those type players. I think it's easy to go, Yeah,

534
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: just find Jordan Malata and Panay School. It's like, well, yeah,

535
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: I would love to, but it's it's easier said than done.

536
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: I think you're not crazy for your theory, but I

537
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: think it's harder to transition to what you're talking about.

538
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: A question for the mailbag. Explain to me if a

539
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: college team has many players from the NIL, does that

540
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: mean you have more scholarship spots on the team. If so,

541
00:31:55,080 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: wouldn't that be the way to go. I don't think

542
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: the NIL has anything to do with scholarships. The scholarships

543
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: are paid by the school you get. You know, in

544
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: college football, you get eighty five, so I get to

545
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: place of my one hundred man roster, eighty five of

546
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: those guys are on a full scholarship, meaning they don't

547
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: pay you to go to school, and meaning they get

548
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: a housing stipend. But the nil is what I you know,

549
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: in theory, I pay for your name, image, likeness, but

550
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: it's essentially just paying you to play. So the nil

551
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with scholarships, Absolutely nothing. I see

552
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: the most recent Kevin Durant drama with the talented reporter

553
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: Ramona Shelburn, do you see comparisons to Kadie and Aaron Rodgers,

554
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: two all time greats, but seem to do their own way,

555
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: seem to do it their own way, and their back

556
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: half of their careers have fizzled, bouncing from team to team.

557
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: You know it's funny, is I didn't see? Did Ramona

558
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: and Kevin get into it? One thing they have in common?

559
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: And I'll use myself as example. Most people in my life,

560
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: I would say, over the course of the last five

561
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: six years are married and now have children and their lives.

562
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: As you know, up until a couple of years ago,

563
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: I was pretty single in my life compared to that

564
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: other person's life. Even if we're both thirty four. If

565
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: I'm thirty four and you're thirty four, and we both

566
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: own a home, but you have a wife and you

567
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: have a young child and I have none of that,

568
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: our lives don't parallel each other at all. I can

569
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: do whatever the you know what I want, and I

570
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: do where that human being has not only has responsibility

571
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: with a child, but their life revolves around other people.

572
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: And as someone who obviously just got married and who

573
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: has lived with someone for a couple of years, you

574
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: realize your life is completely different than it once was.

575
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean I don't get to still go play

576
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: golf and still do things I want to do, and

577
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: that'll be the same one I have a child, but

578
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: it is no longer one hundred percent. I dictate the

579
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: terms of literally everything I want to do, and I'd

580
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: argue my life is much more complete now that I

581
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 1: have someone else in it, and hopefully if my swimmer

582
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: swim we have children here soon, it'll even get better,

583
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: even if it becomes in ways more difficult and more challenging.

584
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: But like, my life actually has more in common with

585
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: most people, right, So, Aaron Rodgers and Kevin Durant Aaron

586
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: Rodgers forty one years old. Most of the quarterbacks in

587
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: the NFL, you know, Tom Brady was married and had kids,

588
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning married and had kids, Drew Brees married and

589
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:54,720
Speaker 1: had kids. Fucking Roethlisberger married and have kids their lives

590
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,760
Speaker 1: in a weird way. All have way more in common

591
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: than rogers, who can just do whatever he wants whenever

592
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: he wants. Like that, you become a little abnormal, especially

593
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 1: like at his position, like most quarterbacks. Patrick Mahomes married,

594
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen engaged Herbert No clue. Looks like Jalen Hurt's

595
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: serious relationship. Jared Goff married. I don't think they had

596
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: a baby yet, but kid on the way, she's pregnant.

597
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodger is single at forty one, never been married,

598
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 1: like I, I wouldn't like I would have pushed back

599
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 1: against this for a long time, but like, I don't know,

600
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 1: man Kevin Durant. Look at the best players in the NBA.

601
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:45,720
Speaker 1: Lebron married multiple kids, Steph Curry married five kids, Joannis

602
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: married kids. Jokic no clue, but it's like you're thirty

603
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: eight years old. The other thing is I was single. Yeah,

604
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: I wasn't a millionaire by any means. Had enough money,

605
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,439
Speaker 1: but not enough to do whatever I want. Imagine being

606
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: single and that rich, it would probably fuck with you,

607
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: and it'd be one thing if you're like divorced or whatever.

608
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 1: Never been married, always been single, can just do whatever

609
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 1: you want. It's kind of a weird life, honestly. One

610
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 1: thing as I got older, like you just want like

611
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: there's just more to life than just it being about you.

612
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 1: And my profession revolves a lot like the podcast is

613
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 1: all about me. It just most of our industries just

614
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: about you trying to be ambitious, and it's just like that,

615
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: there's more to life than that. So I think that's

616
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:47,399
Speaker 1: where they really parallel each other. It's just no one

617
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: else that is dependent on them and their life being

618
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: a wife or a child, where basically all their peers

619
00:36:55,160 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: have that. Hi, John Ravens fan, how scary are the

620
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: Browns going into next season now that they traded for

621
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,280
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl champ? And he's talking about Kenny Pickett?

622
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: Seriously though, how stupid are the Browns not only traded

623
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,800
Speaker 1: a second day pick to the Eagles for Kenny Pickett,

624
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: but they also traded their own quarterback to the Eagles

625
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: for Kenny who is arguably better than Pickett. Uh yeah, man,

626
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: I I didn't even see what was the Kenny Pickett trade.

627
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: I didn't even see the trade. I mean, I know

628
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: they got traded. So the Eagles announced they have agreed

629
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 1: to trade Kenny Pickett to the Browns for DTR and

630
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: a fifth round pick. Yeah, I don't know. I no comment.

631
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: I just think I think Kenny Pickett I would not

632
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,919
Speaker 1: want him on my team. You know, there are certain

633
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: players like, yeah, he's gonna be in the NFL. I

634
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: would not want him on my team. So there are

635
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 1: guys like this in the draft. It's like, listen, this

636
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: guy's gonna get drafted in like the second round or

637
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 1: the third round. I don't want this guy on my team.

638
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: Not because I don't like. I agree he can play,

639
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: but I don't want this guy on my team. And

640
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett has nothing like character wise, I'm just talking

641
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 1: to player. I think he's terrible and DTR is much more.

642
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,919
Speaker 1: You know, Jalen under that umbrella of like being able

643
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 1: to move. I don't under the stand the Bengals letting

644
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: Hendrickson seek a trade while keeping Chase and Higgins. Their

645
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: defense was terrible and Henderson was the lead league leader

646
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 1: in sacks. Wouldn't the smartest thing to do would be

647
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 1: to extend Chase and Hendrickson and trade Higgins. I feel

648
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 1: teams have gotten too cute when making decisions in what

649
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:53,359
Speaker 1: world do you let the leading sack leader go just

650
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 1: to keep another wide receiver Higgins, who is a great

651
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: player and probably a Number one somewhere else, But you

652
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: already have Chase and need a defense at the end

653
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 1: of the day. Hey, I'm a Ravens fan, so it

654
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:08,879
Speaker 1: doesn't bother me. But why do you think teams make

655
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: these decisions so hard? Well? I saw a quote from

656
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase. They must have had their press conference today

657
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: saying like we owed Joe Burrow a debt of gratitude.

658
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: Him speaking about this had a huge influence. And he's

659
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: not wrong. He's not wrong at all. So the reason

660
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: they extended those two guys, Joe Burrow because it's not

661
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 1: the right football move. Even if you could keep all three,

662
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: you wouldn't want to keep all three. You'd keep the

663
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: pass rusher, and you'd keep the star wide receiver, and

664
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: you'd flip the other guy for a second or third

665
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: round pick, and instead of paying your second wide receiver

666
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: twenty nine million dollars, you would draft a wide receiver

667
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: in the second or third round. Help maybe draft both

668
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 1: a receiver in the second and the third and let

669
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: the cream rise and pay those guys to combine two

670
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: million dollars. So it's a bad move. I mean yeah

671
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 1: from a football standpoint in a vacuum. Now, when you

672
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: factor in their variables of Joe Burrow, I get it,

673
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: And that's why they did it their star quarterback. Would

674
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: Joe Shane and Brian Dabole fighting for their jobs should

675
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: they consider trading for a guy like Joe Milton. The

676
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,760
Speaker 1: Giants have been involved in a lot of trades, signing

677
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: talks for quarterbacks like Stafford, Rogers, and Wilson. It leads

678
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: me to think they aren't super high on Shodoor Sanders.

679
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,720
Speaker 1: If they aren't high on Sanders and can't land somebody

680
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: like Rogers, who else could you find to excite the

681
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:39,399
Speaker 1: fan base? Giants are fucked. It's over. And I get

682
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: John Mara not wanting to fire these guys because he

683
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: doesn't want to look like some looney owner. He should

684
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: have blown up the place, He should have thrown a

685
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 1: bunch of gasoline all over and lit a match, but

686
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 1: he was hesitant to do that because he doesn't want

687
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 1: to look like Al Davis or something. But like, the

688
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 1: reason you're firing all these people's because they're bad at

689
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 1: their jobs. They're bad at their jobs. Joe Shane is

690
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: completely in over his head. Maybe Dave Ball is a

691
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: solid offensive mind, but as a head coach, it's I

692
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: don't know, man, it ain't working. Broncos fan, I'm curious

693
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 1: how you feel about the Broncos free agency picks so far.

694
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,319
Speaker 1: Who funk in Green Law are dogs, but they tend

695
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: to be injured. Also curious your thoughts on Evan Ingram.

696
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 1: I like them, but I feel like we could have

697
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: gotten a sweet tight end in the draft. I don't

698
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 1: think signing any of those guys limits anything you guys

699
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: do in the draft. I would one hundred percent expect

700
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 1: you guys to draft the tight end. All right, what

701
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: was Ingram's numbers last year? You got banged up. He

702
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: had a bad season. He played nine games, forty seven catches,

703
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 1: one touchdown. Previous year he was unreal. We had one

704
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen catches and he'll only average eight yards

705
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 1: a catch. To me, Evan Ingram at this point, it's

706
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 1: like he just signed him because he's a good player,

707
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 1: and if he can give you fifty sixty catches, you're

708
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 1: in good shape. But like that has zero impact, and

709
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 1: I mean zero impact on you. Guys signing or excuse me,

710
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: drafting a tight end. I would be stunned if you

711
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 1: guys don't draft a tight end and running back with

712
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: two of your first four picks. Are the Bengals serious

713
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: signing Higgins and Chase just to make Bro happy? But

714
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: at what sacrifice? Losing defensive players and maxing out their

715
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: cap on three offensive guys? Does this make sense to you?

716
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: Like I said, man, our experiences shape our decisions as

717
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:46,800
Speaker 1: we move on in life. Carson Palmer quit on them.

718
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: He said I would rather retire than play for you

719
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: when he left. A couple years later, he was leading

720
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals to the NFC Championship Game. The Arizona Cardinals,

721
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 1: who are a joke franchise, so like they've had a

722
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 1: experience with a superstar quarterback that got really weird and

723
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: really ugly, and Burrell started making some comments like listen,

724
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to play GM here, but we should

725
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: keep these guys. I want to keep these guys, and

726
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: Carson had made some comments like I was promised some

727
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 1: things and it didn't come through, and it pissed him

728
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,280
Speaker 1: off and he quit on them. So if Carson Palmer

729
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: hadn't existed for the Cincinnati Bengals. Do I think that

730
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 1: they re signed t Higgins as well? I don't, but

731
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 1: like they went through that experience that would rattle me

732
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: too if I was Mike Brown. What if I didn't

733
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 1: and then next year Joe Burrow's like, I want out.

734
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: It's just a weird situation that yet is Is it

735
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:56,320
Speaker 1: an ideal team building exercise to pay two wide receivers

736
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 1: that much money? No, it's not because the move I

737
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: think we all agree is to pay Chase who is unreal,

738
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:07,839
Speaker 1: and Flip Higgins. But Joe Burrow didn't really allow that.

739
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: Now you could argue, like Joe, like should you be

740
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:14,479
Speaker 1: chiming in? And that's that's a fair question to ask.

741
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 1: But Joe would be like, well, I just threw forty

742
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,280
Speaker 1: five touchdowns. My fucking team let me down. He's not wrong.

743
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: I was like, well, yeah, they let you down because

744
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 1: the defense. Do you think the Chargers should trade up

745
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: to get ash and Genty? Can I just say this,

746
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: I love the Whack which is now the Mountain West.

747
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: I root for kids from those programs, specifically Fresno Boise,

748
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:44,320
Speaker 1: San Diego State, so I celebrate those players and Genty

749
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: was His numbers are jaw dropping. He was awesome this year.

750
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: I mean he looked like Barry Sanders, meets like Walter Payton.

751
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: But doing that in the Mountain West is a lot

752
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: different than doing that in the SEC. Hear the big

753
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: ten and he's five foot eight. So I think sometimes

754
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 1: when we're critical like this, this is the draft, and

755
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: I think sometimes you have to have conversations of like,

756
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: not everyone is Barry Sanders, not everybody is Aaron Rodgers.

757
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: And when you're talking about a guy, I mean, people

758
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 1: talk about Ashton Genty going in the top ten. He's

759
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 1: five foot eight and he played in the Mountain West. Honestly,

760
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,320
Speaker 1: I think drafting Ashton Genty in like the top fifteen

761
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 1: picks is kind of insane, mainly because there are a

762
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: ton of running backs in this draft. You are going

763
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: to get a starter if you draft a guy in

764
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:40,760
Speaker 1: the second round, I promise you. And for the hype

765
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: on Ashton Genty, if I'm taking a guy high, Saquon

766
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 1: Barkley freak talent, did it at Penn State, Christian McCaffrey,

767
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: Pac twelve dominated freak talent, b Jon Robinson Texas. I

768
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 1: do think there's a lot of risk involved five foot

769
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: eight Boise State. And when I say risk involved, not

770
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:01,720
Speaker 1: that he won't be a good player in the NFL.

771
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,720
Speaker 1: When you're drafting him really high, you're expecting Pro bowls,

772
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 1: all star. I'm not as convinced. If you tell me

773
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: Ashton Genty never makes a Pro Bowl like, I think

774
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 1: that's believable. If you tell me he's not the best

775
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 1: running back in this class, I think that's believable. Like that,

776
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,840
Speaker 1: Sakwan Barkley was going to be a star if he

777
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 1: just got with a decent team. Christian McCaffrey was a

778
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 1: fucking freak. Bijon Robinson was probably the biggest freak out

779
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: of those three. I love Jamiir Gibbs, but like there

780
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 1: was some risk involved, but look at where he gets

781
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: to go with an unreal loaded offense with a great

782
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:45,320
Speaker 1: offensive line, Like the Cowboys cannot draft Ashton Genty the Bears.

783
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 1: I think those picks would be crazy. And I like

784
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: Ashton Genty. To me, he's like a pick in the twenties. Now.

785
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 1: I understand he benefits because he's such a great player

786
00:46:57,719 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 1: in a class that doesn't have a lot of high

787
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 1: end play. But I would have a hard time as

788
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: a GM or a coach drafting a guy that was

789
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 1: five to eight, really really high in a league full

790
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 1: of just freakazoids. Hey, John, I'd like to suggest Miles

791
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,320
Speaker 1: Garrett be on the next Fugazy Friday. He said in

792
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 1: the press conference recently. I think the fans will know

793
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 1: my heart's in the right place. It's never been about

794
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 1: the money. It's always been about winning. That's got to

795
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 1: be one of the most disingenuous things I've ever heard

796
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:34,839
Speaker 1: in my life. Yeah. Man, I just think it's at

797
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 1: this point in time, like we all know the truth.

798
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: They and I give Jimmy Haslam credit when he's like,

799
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett asked for a meeting with Jimmy Haslam, and

800
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: then Jimmy Haslam was like, I'm not meeting with you,

801
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: meet with my GM, who I don't know runs the

802
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: football team. And then of course Clutch immediately leaks out

803
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 1: that Jimmy HASLM wouldn't meet with him. Of course he wouldn't.

804
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,360
Speaker 1: His fucking job's the GM were, don't plan on trade you.

805
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 1: And then Jimmy Haslam gave him whatever, one hundred and

806
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: thirty million dollars and Miles took it. So, yeah, it's

807
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 1: just Miles Garrett. His desire to win could be bought,

808
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 1: and it was. Now. I don't blame We all got

809
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 1: a price and he just got Now. He was already

810
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:21,360
Speaker 1: one hundred worth of millions of dollars, but they paid

811
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: essentially shut him up and it worked. It's crazy, the

812
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 1: power of cash. It's very, very powerful, and depending on

813
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 1: who you're dealing with, numbers could be bigger or smaller.

814
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: What do you think of the idea the Colts drafting

815
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:42,439
Speaker 1: a quarterback in the second round? Steichen saw firsthand how

816
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 1: basically it saved the Eagles, as one primarily credited with

817
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 1: the development of Hurts. I could see him being up

818
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 1: for it, trying it again if he has lost faith

819
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:59,359
Speaker 1: in Anthony Richson. I know they signed DJ for this year,

820
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 1: but I don't really have much faith in him either

821
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,799
Speaker 1: at this point. Don't blame you. I get that they

822
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: have other needs, but if the other two quarterbacks are

823
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 1: as bad as they have historically been, putting Milrow or

824
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: Riley Leonard in for the latter part of the season

825
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: and having them look decent seems like it would be

826
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:22,959
Speaker 1: a better chance of saving the coach and the GM's job. Also,

827
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 1: even if ar does end up playing well, based on

828
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 1: their history and play style, I could see a situation

829
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,760
Speaker 1: where both he and DJ are heard at the same time.

830
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 1: It's a disaster. There's no way around it. When you

831
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 1: draft a high quarterback, a quarterback really high, and you miss,

832
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 1: you are ninety nine percent of the time screwed. Honestly.

833
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:49,800
Speaker 1: The only examples in recent memory that have bailed people

834
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:54,240
Speaker 1: out have either been a low end free agent signing

835
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 1: Tanny Hill with Mariota. I think there are probably other

836
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: samples as well, but most of them are drafting people

837
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:08,320
Speaker 1: in later in the draft, either in the same draft

838
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 1: or the next the following year. Cousins bailed the Redskins

839
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 1: out when the RG three got injured. Brock Purdy bailed

840
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:18,439
Speaker 1: the Niners out when he was drafted a year later

841
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: in the seventh round. Dak Prescott fourth round. It's a

842
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:26,840
Speaker 1: different situation, but with Tony Romo because he wasn't a draftick.

843
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 1: But you know what I mean. I don't understand why

844
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 1: the Giants are focusing their quarterback search on Aaron Rodgers.

845
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 1: He's forty one, looked like a shot fighter, and he's

846
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 1: afraid to get hit. He's also a narcissist, and it's

847
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: controlling the Giants operation without even being signed by the teams.

848
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:57,840
Speaker 1: Why not sign James for a fraction of the price

849
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:02,880
Speaker 1: and move forward because the Giants, at least with Rogers,

850
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,279
Speaker 1: there is some hope of like, what if we just

851
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:10,760
Speaker 1: get a throwback season. He gives us ten good games

852
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 1: out of seventeen and we're in competition for a wild

853
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 1: card even if we end up going eight to nine

854
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 1: or season's relevant. You put Jamis on the Giants, they're

855
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 1: winning three or four games, and I find Jamis entertaining.

856
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 1: His quotes are funny. You know, when he's playing decent football,

857
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 1: he's fun to watch. The Giants would not win any

858
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 1: games with Jamis now. They might not win any game

859
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 1: with Rogers either. He could easily do the same thing

860
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 1: and you win three four games, But there is that

861
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 1: element of hope. Right or wrong, The Panthers season is

862
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 1: on Bryce Young's shoulders. With the Panthers offseason moves, and

863
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 1: if Bryce Young can play like he did toward the

864
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 1: end of last season, am I crazy to think they

865
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 1: can compete for a wildcard spot? I don't know wildcard spot,

866
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 1: but the way they look toward the end of the

867
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 1: season with Bryce. If their defense is improved, they definitely

868
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 1: could be better. I mean, what was their final They

869
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 1: went five to twelve, but they were playing pretty good

870
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:26,000
Speaker 1: football the last couple months. Eight wins, nine wins would

871
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 1: be an incredible accomplishment. Nine wins would be a pretty

872
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: incredible accomplishment. Curious your thoughts on this year's edge rush

873
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 1: class outside of Carter? Is there anyone you have your

874
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:44,879
Speaker 1: eye on potentially becoming elite? We'll do some much more

875
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:49,279
Speaker 1: deep dives on some high end players in this draft.

876
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:53,879
Speaker 1: I would say from a pass rushing standpoint, Abdul Carter

877
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 1: is a pretty special pass rusher. It's why I think

878
00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 1: non quarterback, he's gonna be the first player off of

879
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 1: the I do think Walker from Georgia, at least in

880
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 1: Mike's exposure watching him play, had some games. I mean

881
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 1: that game he had against Texas in the regular season

882
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 1: was probably as good of a regular season game, I mean,

883
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:20,400
Speaker 1: up there with any prospect in college football. I know

884
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 1: Tyler Warren had an incredible game against USC JENTI had

885
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 1: a bunch of great games. He had a great game

886
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:30,759
Speaker 1: against Oregon. But if you watch Walker against Texas. I

887
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:32,919
Speaker 1: think Georgia had like eight sacks. He had like three

888
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:34,760
Speaker 1: of them. He had a bunch of tackles for losses.

889
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: I do think the Stewart kid from A and M.

890
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 1: I mean physically on paper, looks like he should be

891
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 1: a star four and a half career sacks. That concerns

892
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 1: me because I was taught you either get to the

893
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 1: quarterback or you don't. And is there an instinctive issue

894
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:55,400
Speaker 1: with him not being able to land the guy because

895
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 1: physically he is a freak show. But we have seen

896
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:02,400
Speaker 1: a lot of guys with elite measurables and not the

897
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:06,239
Speaker 1: production at pass Rusher get drafted really high and then

898
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 1: not become good players. So that would that would make

899
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 1: me really nervous A question for the bag. One underrated

900
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 1: aspect of Hurt Sirianni coach quarterback duo is their ability

901
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 1: to show up and win against the best quarterbacks. As

902
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 1: a duo, they're two and two versus Mahomes one and

903
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:29,839
Speaker 1: overs Burrow, Alan and Lamar three and over Stafford two

904
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:34,280
Speaker 1: and one versus Daniels two and zero. When Hurts plays

905
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 1: more than two drives, oh, because the one loss, I

906
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:40,799
Speaker 1: hear you. These are often talked about as the top

907
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:44,360
Speaker 1: six quarterbacks. They also have been to two Super Bowls

908
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: in four years, made the playoffs in their first year,

909
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:49,760
Speaker 1: and an average roster, and had three different O season

910
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:53,280
Speaker 1: D season four years. It can't all be Howie Roseman,

911
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 1: how do you evaluate the coach quarterback duo. Well, I mean,

912
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 1: I don't think how he's taking credit for like plays

913
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:06,920
Speaker 1: being called, but he's in full control of the roster.

914
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 1: And then when you talk about the ability to like

915
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:17,400
Speaker 1: outplay other quarterbacks, Sirianni's not coaching the offense. It was

916
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:19,400
Speaker 1: the you know Stike in two years ago when they

917
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 1: made the playoffs, and then Kellen this year. So Sirianni

918
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 1: does he motivate and get the team ready? You got

919
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 1: to give him credit his the team has been ready

920
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:31,320
Speaker 1: in a lot of these big games. Don't argue there,

921
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 1: but he doesn't pick the players and he doesn't dictate

922
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:40,399
Speaker 1: the scheme. I was talking to someone recently, and again

923
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:43,239
Speaker 1: it's gonna sound like I'm a hater. I don't like

924
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:45,719
Speaker 1: I'm not anti Syrianni. At this point. You win a

925
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 1: super Bowl Tima Hattia, but there were a lot of

926
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 1: rumors that you know, this guy wants a big contract extension,

927
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 1: and in fairness, the going rate for a guy that

928
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:55,839
Speaker 1: wins the Super Bowl. You know, let's just pick a number.

929
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 1: It's not like Sirianni's making nothing. Six seven million dollars

930
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:01,759
Speaker 1: surely one of the lowest paid coaches in the league

931
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:05,040
Speaker 1: on its original contract. He's gonna want, I don't know,

932
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 1: fifteen sixteen million dollars. The Eagle's gonna give him fifteen

933
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 1: sixteen million dollars. I don't know the answer. Maybe they would,

934
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:19,239
Speaker 1: maybe they won't be fascinating to see. If you're the Commanders,

935
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:22,320
Speaker 1: would you trade your first round pick for Trey Hendrickson

936
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:28,280
Speaker 1: and also pay him thirty million dollars a year? Huh,

937
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:35,080
Speaker 1: I'd think about it. He is. I tried to spell

938
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:39,320
Speaker 1: it and Google and I didn't even come close. You know,

939
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 1: a little older player turned into a dominant force these

940
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: last two years. Hasn't missed a game since twenty two.

941
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 1: Twenty five sacks excuse me, bad at math seventeen and seventeen,

942
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:03,239
Speaker 1: so that'd be five sacks the last two years. He's

943
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 1: a monster. Yeah, I think you can think long and

944
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 1: hard about it. I couldn't. It's not an easy decision

945
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 1: because he's older. If he was like twenty seven, I

946
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 1: feel you know, once you get thirty. I mean he's

947
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 1: been in the league now since seventeen, and he is

948
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 1: a guy. I mean he's banged up a second year,

949
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 1: He's been bang missed a couple of games here and

950
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:30,880
Speaker 1: there over the course of his career. Paying him is

951
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 1: the like if he was a free agent, he would

952
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 1: get so much money. It's about just giving my first

953
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,439
Speaker 1: round pick. Because when you give a first round pick

954
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 1: for an older player, that first round pick, if you

955
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 1: just hit even if you don't hit a home run,

956
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 1: even if you hit a double, like, that's eight nine

957
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:55,360
Speaker 1: years of player for you. And because they won however

958
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 1: many games they're drafting what twenty eighth that you're not

959
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:01,920
Speaker 1: paying the guy that much your first four years. So

960
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 1: it's like there's an economic exercise to be had when

961
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:08,400
Speaker 1: you're talking about this. It's not an easy decision, but

962
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 1: if he was available first round pick, I think you

963
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 1: would have to do it. Where do you stand on

964
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 1: Tua If we're being completely honest with ourselves, is this

965
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 1: guy even a real starting quarterback in the NFL? Yeah, okay,

966
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:24,920
Speaker 1: I'm I would be considered a to a hater and

967
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 1: he actually grew on me over the course of the last

968
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:29,520
Speaker 1: couple of years when he was getting KOed because backup

969
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 1: quarterbacks would come in. It was a joke. Tuas one

970
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:35,920
Speaker 1: hundred percent of starting quarterback in the league. Like I

971
00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 1: think in a perfect world, you pay to a twenty

972
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 1: million dollars when you pay to a fifty or forty

973
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 1: eight or whatever the hell he's making, Like, that's where

974
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 1: you get a problem. Well, this next quarterback up, well

975
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 1: he's not nearly as good as the other guys starting quarterback.

976
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 1: Good player, but like if Baker Mayfield's baking thirty, he

977
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 1: shouldn't make that, he shouldn't make five. But why can't

978
00:58:56,480 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 1: we pay certain guys like twenty. He's just he's not

979
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 1: going to be able to play in the cold. Obviously.

980
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:09,200
Speaker 1: The concussion thing is a big problem, and it's not

981
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:12,480
Speaker 1: his fault. Like, you know, you don't control whether you

982
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 1: get concussions when you get tackled, but some of these

983
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 1: concussions have been avoidable if he I don't know, slid

984
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 1: so you know he's I respect his toughness, but at

985
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 1: this point he can be a little reckless when he

986
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:33,919
Speaker 1: moves around. I just think he's dramatically overpaid. I think

987
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 1: anytime you pay a guy who is never going to

988
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 1: be a top ten quarterback, I don't give a shit.

989
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 1: What stat you give me, Your franchise kind of screwed.

990
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 1: With how loaded the linemen are in this class, I

991
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 1: don't think it would be a bad idea if the

992
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 1: Niners trade back to sixteen seventeen and still get one

993
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:56,439
Speaker 1: of the top offensive linemen or defensive linemen and add

994
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 1: a third or fourth rounder. How would you approach the

995
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 1: draft if you were the Niners. I love a good

996
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:05,480
Speaker 1: trade back as much as the next guy, but to

997
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:09,560
Speaker 1: trade back, you need people to trade with you. So

998
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 1: I have a hard time seeing there be a player

999
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 1: at eleven that is worthy of a trade back. Think

1000
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:21,280
Speaker 1: about some in recent memories, some trades you know the

1001
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:23,720
Speaker 1: Giants traded back. I think it was pick eleven with

1002
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:27,960
Speaker 1: the Bears for Justin Fields, who at the time was

1003
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 1: what the fourth quarterback in that draft. That's not this draft.

1004
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:36,440
Speaker 1: So it's pretty rare that you're gonna get some crazy

1005
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 1: trade at eleven. I think they would have no problem

1006
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:41,440
Speaker 1: going from like eleven to fifteen to and adding the

1007
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 1: third round pick. I'm in agreement with you. I don't

1008
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 1: think whoever is picking in the mid teens is trading

1009
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:49,960
Speaker 1: up because they go, what the hell's the difference? This

1010
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:54,480
Speaker 1: draft is not viewed as very good every player even that,

1011
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 1: Like we know the Will Campbell's Ashton gents. None of

1012
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:01,120
Speaker 1: these guys are a better life. They're gonna be an

1013
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 1: All Pro Pro bowler in the NFL, Banks Mason Graham,

1014
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 1: the defensive lineman from Michigan, Like, all these guys could

1015
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 1: be good. But I think there is a huge variance

1016
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 1: on all these players. You know, we have seen great

1017
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 1: drafts where it was like, these guys are gonna be

1018
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 1: good players, right, the Jamar Chase Pine, Sewell Waddle, DeVante Smith. Right.

1019
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 1: There are drafts with position players where like, these guys

1020
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:29,400
Speaker 1: are gonna be good. Now, I don't know how good,

1021
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 1: but they're gonna be good. I don't think this draft

1022
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 1: is viewed like that. People go, Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter,

1023
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 1: they should be good players everyone else. I can't even

1024
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 1: imagine some of the debates in these draft rooms. At

1025
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:45,959
Speaker 1: the beginning of last year, I was able to successfully

1026
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:49,760
Speaker 1: convert my wife into a diehard Ravens fan. She was

1027
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 1: all in. She watched every game followed all the in

1028
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 1: season headlines and was about as emotionally invested in the

1029
01:01:56,920 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 1: team's success as I was. We live in Houston and

1030
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 1: she actually got us tickets to the Christmas Day game

1031
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:06,680
Speaker 1: to go watch the Ravens. Her favorite players are Hamilton

1032
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:11,320
Speaker 1: Humphreys and of course Lamar Jackson. My wife being a

1033
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:14,040
Speaker 1: fan of my favorite team, it's like a dream come true.

1034
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 1: We always have something to talk about or look forward to.

1035
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 1: My question is with you getting married, do you agree

1036
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 1: that sharing the fandom and passion of your favorite team

1037
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:28,200
Speaker 1: may not necessarily be a requirement, but it's, without a

1038
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:34,240
Speaker 1: doubt a bonus. Uh yeah, I mean I do I

1039
01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 1: want to break down the Niners off season plans with Maria?

1040
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 1: I mean probably not, But do we bullshit and laugh

1041
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:49,680
Speaker 1: about Instagram? And she really likes forty nine ers and

1042
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:52,480
Speaker 1: she's invested in all the players and seeing dra Greenlaw

1043
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:56,160
Speaker 1: and Funga and all these guys leave rattle their use

1044
01:02:56,280 --> 01:03:01,600
Speaker 1: check back. She's asking questions. Yeah it's cool, but like

1045
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:06,680
Speaker 1: beside football, she doesn't care at all about couldn't pay

1046
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 1: her to watch a basketball game? I mean, take her

1047
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 1: to a baseball games, like maybe a hot dog and

1048
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:13,160
Speaker 1: a beer. She'd be ready to go on the third inning.

1049
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 1: She knows way more about golf just because I have

1050
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 1: it always on television. But there you'd have to pay

1051
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:26,320
Speaker 1: her a lot of money to watch hours of a

1052
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:30,960
Speaker 1: golf tournament, I mean, march madness. She won't watch a dribble.

1053
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 1: I mean she just doesn't really care. So you could

1054
01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 1: argue that like that she does like football. It is cool.

1055
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:41,720
Speaker 1: I actually got a Texas Morning from a guy named

1056
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:46,400
Speaker 1: Andy Reid who had said, you know, congrats, congrats on

1057
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:49,480
Speaker 1: getting married. He said he was proud of me, and

1058
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:52,959
Speaker 1: I said, essentially, thank you. She's a big football fan,

1059
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:55,960
Speaker 1: and he essentially said, well, that's a must, And it

1060
01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:58,320
Speaker 1: is true, like when you do something like I do,

1061
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:01,320
Speaker 1: and football is a huge part of my life. It

1062
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 1: definitely is cool that she likes it. But I would

1063
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:06,880
Speaker 1: say that even if let's say she like the Packers

1064
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:09,200
Speaker 1: instead of the Niners or the Cowboys like that, that'd

1065
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:12,440
Speaker 1: be cool enough for me. I get in your situation that, like,

1066
01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 1: if you're watching, you know, the game every week, especially

1067
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 1: if you don't live in that area, it's definitely cool

1068
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:23,800
Speaker 1: to have her invested. And it's just it's almost like

1069
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:28,760
Speaker 1: sharing a show. Right, when you share a good series

1070
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:31,560
Speaker 1: or something to watch with someone else, like you get

1071
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:33,760
Speaker 1: invested with them and it's something to talk about. So

1072
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:37,520
Speaker 1: a football team, you know, year round, the moves, people

1073
01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:41,960
Speaker 1: get injured, the controversial shit that happens. Yeah, it's definitely.

1074
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:45,040
Speaker 1: It makes for easy conversation. Been listening to you for

1075
01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:47,200
Speaker 1: a few years now, Levey takes. Now you're approaching his

1076
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:50,160
Speaker 1: topic with a different viewpoint from most. I'm currently a

1077
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:53,600
Speaker 1: college basketball coach, so loving this time of year college basketball,

1078
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 1: but also always keep up with the NFL news and notes.

1079
01:04:57,560 --> 01:05:00,560
Speaker 1: Do you think the NIL and transfer portal will impact

1080
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:04,560
Speaker 1: a player's draft stock? For example, if a player leaves

1081
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 1: a program every year for whatever reason, do you think

1082
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:10,560
Speaker 1: that will impact how coaches view him? I know, for

1083
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:13,080
Speaker 1: us in recruiting, if a player goes to four different

1084
01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:17,440
Speaker 1: high schools in four different years, it's a major red flag.

1085
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 1: Thanks and congrats on the winning. I talked to some

1086
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:24,400
Speaker 1: buddies about this this fall. I actually think the NIL

1087
01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:28,320
Speaker 1: is easier because I remember a question when I was

1088
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:31,120
Speaker 1: involved in it, and it was like, how will a kid

1089
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 1: handle money? It's an impossible question to answer. If I

1090
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:39,200
Speaker 1: met every human being at twenty five that is not rich,

1091
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:43,680
Speaker 1: and said, this person is gonna become rich, how will

1092
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:46,920
Speaker 1: they handle money? You'd have to do a pretty big

1093
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:50,520
Speaker 1: deep dive on these human beings. And even then it's

1094
01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:54,840
Speaker 1: an educated guest where you have no clue. Because most

1095
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 1: human beings, it can derail their drive, it can change

1096
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:03,000
Speaker 1: their focus, it can just expose who they really are.

1097
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:08,800
Speaker 1: And I think with these guys making millions of dollars,

1098
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 1: some of these kids are making seven figures. When you

1099
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:15,800
Speaker 1: go to a parking lot at Ohio State, at Texas,

1100
01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:18,920
Speaker 1: at SC at any of these programs, now all the

1101
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:22,480
Speaker 1: big ones, their parking lots now look like an NFL

1102
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:25,280
Speaker 1: parking lot. These kids are rich. So it's like, yeah,

1103
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:27,640
Speaker 1: this guy worked his ass off, was never an issue football.

1104
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:31,920
Speaker 1: Nothing changed that would make me feel better. I actually

1105
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:35,920
Speaker 1: haven't heard many stories about guys like not working as

1106
01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:38,400
Speaker 1: hard because I bet if they didn't work, they wouldn't

1107
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:42,080
Speaker 1: work as hard with money as they didn't have money. Now,

1108
01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 1: I do think where it exposes guys is like you know,

1109
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:50,640
Speaker 1: I think you used to get judged if you transferred.

1110
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:55,680
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone cares because like coaches leave all

1111
01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:58,920
Speaker 1: the time for more money, scouts leave to different teams

1112
01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 1: for more money. I do business with different partners, you know,

1113
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:05,640
Speaker 1: we cancel a deal to go on with a new

1114
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:09,880
Speaker 1: partner for more money. Isn't that business? So I would

1115
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:13,080
Speaker 1: say at first that, oh, this guy's leaving program. He

1116
01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:16,200
Speaker 1: just he can't figure it out. I don't think anyone

1117
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:18,960
Speaker 1: judges that anymore. I mean, look at all the quarterbacks

1118
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:21,880
Speaker 1: last year. They not only transferred programs to the smartest

1119
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:25,560
Speaker 1: thing they ever did change their life. So I actually

1120
01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 1: think there are way more positives than negatives. And I'm

1121
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:30,680
Speaker 1: sure there are examples, not that I've heard of that.

1122
01:07:31,840 --> 01:07:34,320
Speaker 1: You know, a kid got five hundred grand and he

1123
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:38,760
Speaker 1: just didn't give a shit. But I honestly I haven't

1124
01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:41,400
Speaker 1: heard many of those examples. And that's the thing with

1125
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:45,560
Speaker 1: football is it's really hard to kind of half ass it,

1126
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:51,240
Speaker 1: you know, especially in the games. So I think the

1127
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:54,880
Speaker 1: hard part is is like in the NFL, there's way

1128
01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:57,200
Speaker 1: more money in the line in the NFL, cause if

1129
01:07:57,240 --> 01:07:59,720
Speaker 1: you get even if you get drafted in the third round,

1130
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:03,120
Speaker 1: second contract, if you're a good player is worth forty

1131
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:06,360
Speaker 1: fifty sixty eighty. However, millions of dollars, you know, the

1132
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 1: nil I'm giving you five hundred grand or eight hundred

1133
01:08:09,240 --> 01:08:13,160
Speaker 1: grand a car. It ain't NFL money, So you're you're

1134
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:16,320
Speaker 1: still chasing Like. I don't know about you, but for me,

1135
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:21,679
Speaker 1: you know, when I have financial success, my mind always

1136
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:24,360
Speaker 1: goes like, well, how do we get more? Even though

1137
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:27,320
Speaker 1: like the actual tangible value of money does not like

1138
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:30,040
Speaker 1: put a smile on my face, but it's just kind

1139
01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:32,960
Speaker 1: of the way, like it's my scoreboard. You know, if

1140
01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:34,280
Speaker 1: you get a hundred bucks, how do we turn that

1141
01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:36,040
Speaker 1: ten thousand bucks? You get thousand bucks? How you turn

1142
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:37,960
Speaker 1: that ten thousand dollars you get ten thousand bucks, one

1143
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:40,559
Speaker 1: hundred grand. You just you're kind of always chasing more.

1144
01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:44,280
Speaker 1: And I think the best people in most industries kind

1145
01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:46,759
Speaker 1: of have that mindset. I think it's definitely no different football.

1146
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:49,720
Speaker 1: So I think most people have you talked to in

1147
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:54,519
Speaker 1: the NFL with the nil they kind of like it. Okay,

1148
01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:59,200
Speaker 1: Last question, longtime listener, first time shooting for the mailbag.

1149
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:01,800
Speaker 1: Since I know you have such love for the Sopranos,

1150
01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:05,160
Speaker 1: I was wondering if you have ever watched Breaking Bad

1151
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:09,160
Speaker 1: and what your thoughts are on it. Uh. I think

1152
01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 1: I've watched. I remember I tried to binge it maybe years,

1153
01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:17,960
Speaker 1: maybe in like twenty when there wasn't much to do

1154
01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:25,880
Speaker 1: and I enjoyed it. I like the uh, what's the

1155
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:29,880
Speaker 1: show about the dude his lawyer who broke off and

1156
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:33,800
Speaker 1: created his own show. I like that. Yeah, I mean

1157
01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:39,960
Speaker 1: I would say this like Narcos, where they were they

1158
01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:43,519
Speaker 1: the Netflix version of like the Pablo and El Chopo.

1159
01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:48,280
Speaker 1: I like that more than like the Meth version of

1160
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:52,160
Speaker 1: Brian Cranzen. Again, I wasn't anti the show the one

1161
01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:55,640
Speaker 1: dude that has a chicken spot. But I guess my

1162
01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:58,559
Speaker 1: overall take would be whenever I see people say they

1163
01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:01,400
Speaker 1: Breaking Bad, I would say the same thing about mad

1164
01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:04,679
Speaker 1: Men as like the greatest shows of all time. Yeah,

1165
01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:08,960
Speaker 1: not for me. I'm not anti those shows I've watched.

1166
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:12,160
Speaker 1: I would say a decent amount of both of them,

1167
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:17,599
Speaker 1: but I would say neither made me feel the way

1168
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:20,800
Speaker 1: that I see them. I would say consistently described by

1169
01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 1: the public, And you could argue, I mean, there are

1170
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:27,519
Speaker 1: parts of The Sopranos that I'm pretty boring as well.

1171
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:33,120
Speaker 1: I just like mob shows. I guess the story with

1172
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:38,120
Speaker 1: Breaking Bad, I don't know, not that I wasn't hooked.

1173
01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:43,639
Speaker 1: It just wasn't something about it. I can't really put

1174
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:47,599
Speaker 1: my finger on it. Not anti Breaking Bad, not like

1175
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:51,559
Speaker 1: a I think it's like sucks, but it wouldn't be

1176
01:10:52,680 --> 01:10:56,400
Speaker 1: one of those where it's like this is my jam,

1177
01:10:56,720 --> 01:10:59,519
Speaker 1: like hell. I think The Wire, which doesn't really get

1178
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:04,679
Speaker 1: talked about out as much anymore, I think was I mean,

1179
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:07,479
Speaker 1: it's widely considered one of the best shows of all time,

1180
01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:12,200
Speaker 1: but like blows away Breaking Bad, and I know that's different.

1181
01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:15,800
Speaker 1: But if, like, if you told me right now, you've

1182
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:17,519
Speaker 1: got to rewatch one. I feel like I've seen The

1183
01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:19,519
Speaker 1: Wire like three or four times. I would rather watch

1184
01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:27,040
Speaker 1: that than Breaking Bad. Okay, audios, people see it the

1185
01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:27,599
Speaker 1: volume
