Speaker 1: every single night. Well, just really quick, before you get

19
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: into this big NFL topic. You just heard Steve Desager

20
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: bringing the story that Anthony Davis is expected to sit

21
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 1: out the rest of the season, shocking for the Wizards

22
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: to get healthy for next year. Oh Okay, Okay, that's okay,

23
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: So no reason to play this year. Na da da Dad.

24
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: We'll save it, save it for you for next year. Okay.

25
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 3: I'll put that in the back of the closet with

26
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 3: all the stuff we used to buy my mom for

27
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 3: birthdays and Christmas.

28
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: I'm saving it for good man.

29
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: You know, this is this is They're not gonna do

30
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: what I want. And because I really want to relive

31
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: what it was like to watch the Team USA B

32
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: Team Dream Team in the early two thousands, I want

33
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: to see ad with Trey Young, n CJ McCollum, and

34
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: b Angelo Russell, and I have a feeling that's just

35
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. I feel it's just not gonna happen.

36
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: Just a just a joke.

37
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 3: I mean, like, I'm not the think of the children

38
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 3: guy in the third level guy plays or he does

39
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 3: and he's hees not and obviously he's been dealing with

40
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 3: a hand injury and whatever. I don't discount that categorically,

41
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 3: But given the man's history and the powdy behavior time

42
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 3: and time again, this is just a joke. Now, there

43
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 3: are in no threat to be in the playoffs in

44
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 3: any way, shape or form. Sitting at their fourteen and

45
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 3: thirty six, even though they've gone four and six in

46
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: their last ten. But to just be like operations shut down,

47
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna play and away we go. It was

48
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 3: like what it was not threatened threatening other than hey,

49
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 3: will you have eight ping pong balls or twelve or

50
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 3: whatever the multiple is as you get down to the stretch.

51
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 3: But the idea that is like, yeah, I'm just not

52
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 3: gonna play at all here on February sixth, with two

53
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 3: and a half months of a season remaining, is just

54
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 3: a joke, you know.

55
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: But here this is the crazy part to think about this,

56
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: and I sound like I'm really just what's wrong with

57
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: you on a Friday night? But like, if Trey Young

58
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: comes back and he's motivated, right and supposedly the Wizards

59
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: are where he wanted to go, okay, If Ad decides

60
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: to be motivated and can stay healthy, can he.

61
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 2: Wear the robe?

62
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: All right? Alex, you're a Wizard, Ad Alex Sar is

63
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: having a pretty good year right as a seventeen and

64
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: eight guy. There's no reason why the Wizards can't be

65
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: okay next year. There's no reason why it's the Eastern Conference.

66
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: There are reason why they can't be a middle of

67
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: the pack playoff team. And I don't mean like, hey,

68
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: they can squeak in in the in the playing round,

69
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,119
Speaker 1: like they can be in them. I could see them

70
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: being like a round a five seed if these guys

71
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: are motivated getting back they go. You know, they got

72
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: some dudes that that if they if they buy in,

73
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: you can make a little bit of hay in the East.

74
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: You can that could be a five hundred team at

75
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: least right there. I can see that happening. It doesn't

76
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: doesn't need to always be terrible for the Wizards that

77
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: you're the last chance hotel of the of the NBA. Like,

78
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: if you can get the buy in from those guys

79
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: and you really wanted to, you can be an okay

80
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: team next year. I mean, Sarah, I'm telling I'm telling

81
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: you how I think that could be a team that

82
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: could maybe be a middle of the pack team in.

83
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 2: The Eastern con ry to have a little bit of fun.

84
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 3: Man cap hit fifty eight point four or six million

85
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 3: dollars for twenty twenty six, twenty seven, thirty five percent

86
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 3: of the league cap.

87
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and.

88
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 3: Then he's got a player option the year after. Oh yeah, good, luck, folks,

89
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 3: there's another sixty two point eight. We did the math

90
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 3: the other day and threw stuff against the wall. It's

91
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 3: just the frustration. Look, I don't begrudge the players. They've

92
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 3: they've earned the fight for those contracts and for the

93
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 3: guaranteed money, and the union's been smart, uh and all

94
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 3: of those things. But when we see the proliferation of

95
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 3: players and where you've got a couple of guys that

96
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 3: are obvious the leaders in the clubhouse of eh, you

97
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 3: know what, I'm just not gonna go going all the

98
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 3: way back to ad when he was with New Orleans, Yeah,

99
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 3: I'm not. I'm gonna sit and pout and I'm not

100
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 3: gonna play until i end up a Laker. And now

101
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 3: now it's just all right, I'm a wizard. I don't

102
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 3: want to be a wizard and I'm gonna sit out.

103
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 3: Yeah it might be I might have an injury, but

104
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 3: I'm highly doubtful that would take you another eight to

105
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 3: ten weeks before you can resume basketball activities. Come on, terrible,

106
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 3: I'd be because I'm just laughing because I'm like, you know,

107
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 3: I feel weird about saying it, because I'm like, you're

108
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 3: really gonna predict something for the Wizards.

109
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: We're like, yeah, you know, why not?

110
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 2: That might be your boldest prediction ever.

111
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 4: They're shutting him down after they gave him Michael Jordan's number.

112
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Hey, here it is. We don't want but we

113
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: don't want you to play. And actually you know Sully

114
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: it at all. So you're just gonna sit and not

115
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: do anything.

116
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: Unbelievable. Unbelievable.

117
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 3: He doesn't even get the end of Michael Jordan Wizard's

118
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 3: love here, No least shot thirty three percent.

119
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: Come on, not gonna get that.

120
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, when he gets a statue, he's gonna be in

121
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 4: street clothes.

122
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: Uh shit, it will be him sitting on a on

123
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: a chair like in street clothes. That that's his statue.

124
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: Why is the statue so short, Well, because he's said it.

125
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: You can stand right next to it, take a picture.

126
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: You'll be fine.

127
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get really really healthy for next year. All

128
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 3: the while Clutch Sports is doing everything again. Hey, do

129
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 3: you have any interest in a distressed property known as

130
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis. We'd like to get him out of Washington

131
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 3: if possible.

132
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 4: We would have stood him up, but we didn't want

133
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 4: the statue to break.

134
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: That's a good one.

135
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 2: It's a lot of stress on that dage.

136
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: That's a good one. Man. Hey, if you drop this,

137
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: you know it's gonna break. Okay, Okay, fine, fine.

138
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 2: Why is it, say fred gilay on that?

139
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: Uh So, again there's the ad supposedly to sit out

140
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: the rest of the season get ready for next year. Again,

141
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,799
Speaker 1: no reason why the Wizards can't do it, No reason

142
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: now the NFL this week, and this kind of is

143
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: kicked off by the fact that we got the ratings

144
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: for the Pro Bowl that came out today and let's

145
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: just say not great. For the fourth year in a row,

146
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl ratings decreased so much. In twenty twenty two,

147
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl had six point seven million viewers. Right,

148
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: that was the lowest in sixteen years. Every year it's

149
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: gone down. Two million people watch the flag football game

150
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: of the Pro Bowl games on Tuesday night, right, And

151
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: that's I mean, that's just something where you can carve

152
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: it all up by saying, well, it was a Tuesday night,

153
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: the game wasn't on ABC, you know where. We wanted

154
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: to do it because we really wanted to promote flag

155
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: football for the summer Olympics. Yeah, and this is not

156
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: gonna be we gotta kill the Pro Bowl thing. This

157
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: gets bigger than that. If you are the NFL, okay,

158
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: you need to seize back super Bowl Week because they

159
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: have lost control of the biggest week of the calendar

160
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: that football has. And this is a sport that does

161
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: everything to capitalize on every bit of the calendar all

162
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: year round. But look at the super Bowl Week. Man,

163
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: I'm not saying just this year, just go back the

164
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: last few years. The overall relevancy of Super Bowl Week

165
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: has gone down every single year. Right, the news cycle

166
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: doesn't demand that. Hey, everything is all super Bowl all

167
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: the time. With every year the buzz week lessons and

168
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: it just becomes more about the league in general, right,

169
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 1: because okay, what do we have this week? So we

170
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: talk more about the Pro Football Hall of Fame. We

171
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: talked a little bit about the coaching moves. We talked

172
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: mainly about the NBA trade deadline, and that was a

173
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: big deal all week. Was Jannis gonna get dealt was

174
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: he not? That was all the big news, right, Like

175
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: you simply putting out super Bowl Week doesn't do it anymore. Right,

176
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: The end of it was a great run, right, as

177
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 1: you always say, Mike God great run. Great run. Yeah,

178
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: the NFL had a great run. They could just say

179
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: the super Bowl is coming. Yep, everybody is going to

180
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: pay attention all the big news comes out of the

181
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: super Bowl. It doesn't. There's hardly any news that comes

182
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: out of the super Bowl. You get some stuff on

183
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: Radio Row. There's some interviews like, look, the Tom Brady

184
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: story we're going to do in a few minutes came

185
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: out of Radio Row. But overall, the vast majority of

186
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: news that we talk about, the relevancy is not super

187
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: Bowl oriented, right, not super Bowl oriented. There's NFL stuff

188
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: that we got to but it's shared with the NBA,

189
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: and the NBA really had a bigger share of the

190
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: news cycle. It's not enough anymore for the NFL to

191
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: just throw out super Bowl week and say, hey, it's

192
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: a big party. Media Night on Monday has become absolutely irrelevant.

193
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 1: No one even pays attention to it. Right the NFL

194
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: own Media Day on Tuesday, move it to Monday Night.

195
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: Absolutely irrelevant now, and what else did you get the

196
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: rest of the week. Nothing didn't get big headlines. All

197
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: you had was controversy over the Hall of Fame vote.

198
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: There is no news coming out of this. The only

199
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: story this week has been Sam Darnold. Think about that.

200
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: The only NFL story, the only Super Bowl story real

201
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 1: has been Can you believe Sam Donald's here? Look how

202
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 1: good he is? Was he always this good? Was it

203
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: the Jets fault? Look at the vikings? Sam Donald is

204
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: the only story we didn't talk about Mike Vrabel, about

205
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: Drake May being the next Tom Brady, all this stuff.

206
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: He was the only story. The NFL needs to have

207
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: big stuff on the calendar to take back Super Bowl

208
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: Week because right now it's embarrassing that they're getting out

209
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: sports by the other things happening in the league, in

210
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: the NBA and tonight. Oh by the way, oh man,

211
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: I tell you what. The NFL's lucky. The opening ceremonies

212
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: for the Olympics wasn't earlier in the week because it

213
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: would get absolutely steamrolled by the Olympics, which are having

214
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: events and having things happen, where the NFL is just, yeah,

215
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: we're here for the Super Bowl, so they're lucky. The

216
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: opening ceremonies were tonight and not a couple of days

217
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: ago to wind up being worse.

218
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, just look the way the NFL used to announce

219
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 3: with a great authority, how they were taking over different

220
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 3: parts of the calendar, right, like a guy was literally

221
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 3: running out. I don't know, let's use an example like

222
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 3: Aaron Rogers running out with a giant flag and you'd

223
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 3: say like, all right, we're taking over this day, okay,

224
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 3: And you would slowly, all of a sudden, out of

225
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 3: Silver has fought back without saying a word, Hey, our

226
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 3: trade deadline just so happens the line up here?

227
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 2: Hello?

228
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 3: And then you got Giannis doing whatever he's doing, because

229
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 3: that's a big story and potentially problematic here in a

230
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 3: million ways, this whole calshy thing that he's got going,

231
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 3: and the way they trolled shams and whatever else. But

232
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 3: suffice to say, we've got Sam Darnold the subplot of

233
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 3: canny and how will he screw it up? And then

234
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 3: the Patriots are they for real? Those are that that's

235
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 3: been it for the Super Bowl? And then a lot

236
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 3: of slap fighting over journalism and I use that term

237
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 3: you know in italicis in italics and maybe parentheses as

238
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 3: we talk about it. Of all right, what does that

239
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 3: mean in the hot take nonsense world that we live

240
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 3: in any more? Because of the Belichick and now Brady

241
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 3: put in with Robert Kraft and and all of that stuff.

242
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 3: We talked about the Hall of Fame, but it wasn't

243
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 3: about celebrating the guys got in. When we were talking

244
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 3: yesterday we talked to NFL Honors, It's award show. What

245
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 3: was it about someone going up and mispronouncing a name

246
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 3: and not actually celebrating necessarily the winners in grand fashion

247
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 3: Drew ski and what he did to JSN. You got

248
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 3: the Hall of Fame, guys go in and it becomes well,

249
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 3: Roger Craig, does he belong as opposed to Hey, good

250
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 3: for Drew Brees and Larry Fitzgerald, Luke Keikley and the

251
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 3: crew right as they get in and get their their

252
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 3: gold jackets, not necessarily the same love. So yeah, for

253
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 3: the NFL, it's a little bit of crisis of conscience.

254
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 3: You've got the Pro Bowl games and the flag football game. Well,

255
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 3: flag football may be really growing and really getting a push,

256
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 3: and we certainly heard many of those speeches and saw

257
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 3: that on social media of all the ambassadors city to

258
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 3: city and exit players getting involved. It's not translating to

259
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 3: TV ratings. Most exciting thing out of that game was

260
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 3: Michaeh Parson's on that souped up scooter because people started

261
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 3: looking at how do I get one of those? That

262
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 3: was the biggest thing out of there, right so and

263
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 3: media night we got no juice this year, No, not

264
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 3: at all. And part of it is because you got

265
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 3: too I think, fairly boring teams. We don't have a

266
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 3: Marshawn Lynch on Seattle this time, or Richard Sherman to

267
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 3: take up any of the oxygen. McDonald's probably the loudest

268
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 3: guy they've got.

269
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: Yeah again, but that but that's just this year. You

270
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: go back. This is not just a this year thing.

271
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: This is a this is the last few years going

272
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: how many years doing the show? Do we talk super

273
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: Bowl all weekers at other stuff? And and and the

274
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: super Bowl is stuff that sprinkled in when it's necessary. Well,

275
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: we talked food, things happening outside of it. Yeah, yeah,

276
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: it's sprinkling it. So just they gotta they gotta see

277
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: super Bowl week again. Man, that's embarrassing.

278
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 2: Come on, Dell, get back at it.

279
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: In between all the announcing all those international games exit

280

283

Speaker 1: reversal and could we be seeing big changes to the

328
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: friend Mike Harmon, you Aaron Rodgers, So to talk about

329
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: being ahead of the curve. This story that reared its

330
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: head a few days ago now apparently has a new development.

331
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 4: Oh you're gonna apologize.

332
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: No anything for Sam Darnold will come after the Super Bowl.

333
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: You have to win it first. We'll decide you have

334
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 1: to win. So it was earlier this week. And oh,

335
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: by the way, I don't think it's a coincidence. We

336
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: talked about this story hot and heavy two days ago

337
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: and the next day all these Patriots players weighed in

338
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: on it. You're welcome for all the content we've been

339
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: providing to all the different shows there from radio road

340
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: or else. So, when Tom Brady was asked a few

341
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: days ago just a generic question, Hey, who you're rooting

342
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: for in Super Bowl sixty. You're expecting to get some

343
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: kind of fun line about the Patriots. Instead, Tom Brady said,

344
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: I don't have a dog in the fight. I want

345
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: to see good football. I don't want to I don't

346
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: want to have to, you know, say one way or

347
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: the other. I just hope it's a good game. Blah

348
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: blah blah. You like, yeah, what the hell kind of

349
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: answer is that? Man? You were there for twenty years,

350
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 1: So when he said that, it was kind of It

351
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: didn't go anywhere for a day, and we talked about

352
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: it on Tuesday Night. Right, We talked Tuesday Night and

353
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: twice we did this on the show. We tweeted out,

354
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: we talked about it. I said, this is a load

355
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: of crap from Brady. This is not Tom Brady trying

356
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: to play the Hey, I'm an owner in the NFL.

357
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to say anything that are gonna upset people,

358
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: because people already upset that I do the games and

359
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: I own the Raiders, so they're gonna be upset if

360
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 1: I'm pulling for one team or the other. I'm not

361
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: supposed to do that. No, no, no, no, no, nobody

362
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: cares about that. Everybody would expect you to say Hey, yes,

363
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: of course I'm pulling for the page. I spent twenty

364
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 1: years there, man, I made my legend there. Of course

365
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,239
Speaker 1: I'm pulling for my old team to win. But he

366
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: didn't say that, And why did we say he didn't

367
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: say it? Right? This is after Gronk said, oh, I

368
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: think he just upset he wants to play in the game.

369
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: Why is Gronk saying something like that, right? You know

370
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: Gronk and Brady you're tight, right, you know they're friends.

371
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: Why is Rob Gronkowski saying I think he just wanted

372
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: to Maybe he's upset he's not playing. You know how

373
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: competitive Tom is. That sounds like the worst excuse possible

374
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: that you could make for somebody, right, So you know

375
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 1: it's not well Tom's here, Tomas says, we told you

376
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: at the time. This is Brady making sure everybody knows. Hey,

377
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm still pissed at the Patriots for the way my

378
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: career ended there. They pushed me out the door. So

379
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna say something good about them going

380
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: into the super Bowl. They can have it and do

381
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: stuff on their own. That's that's what this said to me,

382
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: because nothing else made sense. No one's gonna get mad

383
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,719
Speaker 1: at Brady for saying, of course I'm pulling for the page.

384
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,239
Speaker 1: People say who they're pulling for all the time, it

385
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. And the next day, when all of a

386
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: sudden on radio wrote all his former teammates are saying,

387
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: all this is bull crap. You add a Sante Samuel

388
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 1: weighing in, Vinz will Fork weighing, and I can't believe this.

389
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: What do we say to tom Oh, I don't know

390
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: why he's saying this. Is he jealous? Is he you know,

391
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: I don't know why he's doing this. Maybe he's jealous

392
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: of Drake May That's what a Sante Samuel said. Uh No,

393
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: none of that made said this, not being jealous of any

394
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: of that. I'm telling you, he's still pissed at how

395
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: things ended with the Patriots because it's personal with him

396
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: and Craft and Belichick with everything that went on. It's

397
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: personal with all three of them. And Brady does a

398
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: great job, and they all do a great job of

399
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: very publicly being complimentary of one another and not looking

400
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: like the guy that's bitter and upset. Right, they all

401
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: do it. I don't know how they do it, because

402
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: I would want to be really pissed if I'm Brady,

403
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 1: I'm pissed at Belichick, who pushed me out the door.

404
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 1: I'm pissed at Kraft and not having my back here,

405
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: even though he traded Jimmy Garoppolo because he wanted him

406
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 1: to a few years ago. Like all this stuff happening,

407
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: it's really impressive that they can do this and still

408
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: be very civil publicly, but you know privately they all

409
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: can't stand each other. So Patriots teammates go out and

410
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: they say that about Tom Brady. I'm like, okay, let's

411
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: see if Brady does anything well. Today. He puts a

412
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: post on Instagram and part of his story he references

413
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 1: Robert Kraft by saying, you know, I got your back. RKK.

414
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: Get that seventh ring so we can match, and it's

415
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: a picture of Brady's standing next to right. He put

416
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: that out there today. Okay, so now you understand how

417
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 1: right we were about Brady, because if he was really

418
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: worried about his status as an owner or a broadcaster,

419
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,239
Speaker 1: he's not addressing this. He's not he's not doing it

420
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: because while I'm worried, I'm worried about my status and

421
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: owning a team and being a broadcaster. I'm just gonna

422
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: let this go, man. Vince will Ford can say what

423
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: he wants to with Sante Sanuel, can say what he

424
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 1: wants to, but I gotta let this go because this

425
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 1: is business, this is money, this is dollars, This is

426
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: my future if it really was that. Which are all

427
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: the reasons you can throw out there. Hey, he's leaving

428
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: this alone. He is not saying anything. But now he

429
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: comes out and says, hey, Bob Craft, go get that

430
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: super Bowl. Yeah, we could be buddies again. This is

431
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: Brady now saying I got my first message out there

432
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: which I wanted to, which was, hey, the people that know, no,

433
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: I'm pissed. But now I can come back and say,

434
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, yeah, no problem. Yeah, Hey Bob Craft,

435
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: go get that super Bowl. All good, man, all good.

436
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: This is Brady. Let us know how he really felt

437
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 1: with his first I'm not gonna give anybody a I'm

438
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: not gonna give anybody a stake in this. I have

439
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: no dog in the fighter belt, letting you know how

440
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: he feels about the Patriots. But now after a few

441
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: days and it's questionable and his teammates come out, Oh

442
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: hey man, no, it's all good. Bob Craft, go win,

443
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: Go win. What really you needed three days to understand that?

444
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: Oh boy, people wouldn't have given me flak if I

445
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: had said I'm rooting for the Patriots because I'm an

446
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 1: owner and a broadcaster. It took him three days to

447
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 1: figure that out. No, I'm not buying it, man. Brady

448
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: got the message out he wanted to earlier by saying

449
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 1: I'm not even rooting for the Patriots. Then it got

450
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: to be a little bit bigger thing. And now he's

451
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: standing up going hey, hey, no, no, no problem, man,

452
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: no problem, Hey go no Bob Craft, go win. Man.

453
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: All good. No, we had it right from the beginning.

454
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there's a couple other things that go

455
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 3: on with this thing. I do still believe a little.

456
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 3: If it is the Koubiak, I'm gonna introduce this guy

457
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 3: as a head coach. Yet I'm hoping he gets his

458
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 3: head knocked off and that Sam Darnold sucks.

459
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: But if you're worried about that, do you say this?

460
00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: Do you say that on social No you don't. You

461
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 1: let it go. If you're worried about the Kubiak part, it's.

462
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 3: Like, okay, no, no, man, That's why I'm giving up

463
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 3: another theory here. One Sante Samuel may have actually had

464
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 3: the goods on him. What do you think, Tom, because

465
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 3: remember he was threatened out him about something.

466
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 2: What do you think Tom.

467
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 3: Brady got the message and corrected his foolishness? Do we

468
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 3: forgive him? Eighty three thousand people have viewed Sante Samuel's

469
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 3: tweet in the last three hours. Now, let me take

470
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 3: this to a whole other level. Tom Brady took one

471
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 3: for the squad. He took the heel turn for craft

472
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 3: in Belichick because for three days when everybody assembled on

473
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 3: Radio Row, it was all about him and him not

474
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 3: taking aside as opposed to continued debates about Belichick and

475
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 3: Craft and the Hall of Fame. But that he took

476
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 3: the bullets for his guys. By the way, did you

477
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 3: see Bill Belichick make an appearance on Radio Row today?

478
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: Yeah? That was fun.

479
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 3: How about that as part of the mcavee. Hey, do

480
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 3: you know your NFL trivia with the new Hall of Famers.

481
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 3: Let's phone a friend. Oh my, it's Bill Belichick. Everybuddy,

482
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 3: good to see you.

483
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: Sure remember that whole Hall of Fame he didn't get

484
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: in here. We're gonna do a fun bit with you.

485
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: You know, if I thought for a second Brady really

486
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: wanted to have the backs of Bob Craft and Bill Belichick,

487
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: I would say, you're right, But I mean, I don't

488
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: just remember how it ended. Remember all the remember all

489
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: the reports that came out, but they the fact they

490
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: lowballed Brady at the end. They didn't want him back.

491
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: Belichick wanted him out for Jimmy Garoppolo years before, and

492
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: they forced him to be traded. You don't get over that.

493
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: The competitor that Tom Brady. And I'm saying this about

494
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: Brady because I don't blame him. I would say, yeah,

495
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: I had great times there, but blank, you man, you

496
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: were This is the team that decided, and Bob Craft,

497
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: they decided that I wasn't the guy they wanted anymore.

498
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: So I went and won the bleep in Super Bowl

499
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: someplace else, Right, I always have I'll always love the fans,

500
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: I'll always love my teammates. But you know, it's something

501
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: with me in the and the franchise. So when his

502
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 1: teammates now say something, Okay, let me just say this

503
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: so I can cover this up and everybody can can

504
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,479
Speaker 1: go on and watch the game and everything. Because if

505
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 1: it was really was something that was x's and o's

506
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 1: or money oriented or hiring Kubiak. So yeah, he would

507
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 1: do it. I don't he's not doing anything to have

508
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: Bob Kraft. But there's no controversy for Bob Kraft, you

509
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: know when he has to say, hey, Bob, go get it.

510
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: There's nothing he's covering up for, you know, Bill Belichick

511
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 1: by saying I'm not even rooting for the Patriots, Like,

512
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a case of him saying, yeah, hey,

513
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: people now pay attention to me. I'm taking a bullet

514
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: for them. He's not doing that, man, Remember how bad

515
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: it ended. You don't let that go. Brady became a

516
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: different person when he went to Tampa Bay. Right for

517
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: his whole career, you can tell Brady was someone who

518
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: not chafed under Bill Belichick. But as time went on,

519
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: it went from yeah, hey, we're winning super Bowls to

520
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: I really kind of want a different experience. Because I

521
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: guarantee if you said to him, hey, and you you

522
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: know in the movies, and shot him full of sodium

523
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: pentathol and said, hey, what do you want? But tell

524
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: you the truth, what's one regret you off about your career.

525
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:07,479
Speaker 1: He would have said, I wish I would have left

526
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: New England ten years before I did. I did the

527
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 1: first half there in one and then I went somewhere else,

528
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: because boy, I really enjoyed my time in Tampa Bay. Right.

529
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 1: He started doing commercials, he started saying things, he started

530
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 1: doing podcasts, he started doing all of these things that

531
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: he didn't do with New England because of the way

532
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: Belichick ran things. In the end, it got to the

533
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 1: point where Brady and Gronk were so upset they weren't

534
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: coming to offseason OTAs.

535
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 3: I mean, it was, it was, but if he was

536
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 3: that upset, But if he was that upset all along, Look,

537
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 3: and everybody hits a breaking point. All relationships go through

538
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 3: their ups and downs, trials and tribulation that oftentimes, And look,

539
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 3: in professional sports, you often don't often sit around and

540
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 3: get to play for two decades either, right, and superhuman Strength.

541
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 3: Usually it runs its course because either one guy gets

542
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,679
Speaker 3: fired or the player. Usually the player gets really old.

543
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,719
Speaker 3: And this was a weird circumstance where it just kept going.

544
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm sure at some point it's like, wow,

545
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 3: look at what all my friends get to do. And

546
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 3: I'd like to do some of that, but it was

547
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 3: that bad. He had plenty of opportunities in the next

548
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 3: reup to get off of the merry go round.

549
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 2: So you know, it takes two to tango.

550
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 3: And you know, for Tom Brady, I can't feel bad

551
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 3: that he kept along because we got a lot of

552
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 3: media folks that thought he was done far before he was,

553
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 3: and he went on to keep winning. But for him

554
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 3: it also added to his legend. And at some point

555
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 3: you have to reconcile that as well. What you want

556
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 3: to do and how happy are you? Does it make

557
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 3: you happy? Doesn't make your money? The old Adam krolla

558
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 3: podcast positing all those years ago. If the answer to

559
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 3: both of those is no, you get out of the situation.

560
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 3: In this case, you add the are we winning? Does

561
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 3: it make me happy? Make me money? And then you

562
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 3: weigh those three variables.

563
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, but remember he didn't know what it was like

564
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: anywhere else until he went to Shorre Tampa Bay. Right.

565
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: That's why I thought, Hey, if you asked him now,

566
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 1: oh man, I didn't know it could be so different

567
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 1: anywhere else. Not that in the middle of his career. Boy,

568
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: things are one way here, but I'm winning I'm going

569
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 1: to Super Bowls. Then I go to Tampa and realize, oh,

570
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: I'm the guy.

571
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 3: Well, I had a lot of times that they didn't

572
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 3: actually win, were beating up on the Jets.

573
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean overall they went every three years.

574
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 3: I mean they went right, right, but you did have

575
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 3: a long drought before you won again where you just said, hey,

576
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 3: you know what we're we're butting our head up against

577
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 3: that that ceiling and it's time maybe to reset.

578
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: And he never did that. But again, because I don't

579
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: know what it's going to be like someplace else. I

580
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: know what I've done and now I'm hoping we can

581
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: get it because I've done it here. But then I

582
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: went to Tampa. Only because he had that experience with Tampa,

583
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: which is why he was able to say, oh man,

584
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: it could have been better any other place, Like I

585
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: went to this place.

586
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 2: Than I won, and it could have been miserable in

587
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 2: thirty others.

588
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: Right, But I mean he obtously went there and won.

589
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: He had a great I mean, I think Tom Brady's

590
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: pretty confident that I can go someplace and be a

591
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: pretty good quarterback and we can win. I feel he's

592
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: got that, you know, after having that experience with Tampa

593
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: Bay that he can winege.

594
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 3: A pretty good squad. So but just go in a

595
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 3: bad division and all of that and they went won.

596
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, but go back to his post now, just

597
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: go back to his post with Bob Kraft, Right, everything

598
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: is get that seventh ring so we can match. Want

599
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: to remind you.

600
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 2: Boy celebrating Ariana Grande.

601
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: Want to remind you Bob that, Hey, when you didn't

602
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: want me and you lowballed me and you allowed it

603
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: to happen, I went somewhere. And what all he's got

604
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: to do is just say I got your back, Bob.

605
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: Go get the ring. No, no, go get the ring

606
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: so we can match. Remember I got one more than

607
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: you did. I mean Brady is Brady knows what he's doing. Right,

608
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: Guys like Lebron and Brady and Yanness, we know all

609
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: that they know what they're doing when they say stuff

610
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: like Brady knows what he's doing when he says, get

611
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: that seventh ring so we can match. This is Hey,

612
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: I'm getting my message out there, remember, Bob. Hey, people

613
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: who can read the lines and read something, I think

614
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,320

687
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: Just so you know, you know, a few minutes ago,

688
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: I say, coming up next, we're going to talk about

689
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: the uh we could be seeing some changes to the

690
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: way the Hall of Fame votes with the controversy the

691
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: last few days Hall of Fame. Jim Porter, who is

692
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: the executive director of the Hall of Fame, says there

693
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: could be some changes coming to Hall of Fame voting

694
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: next year. And I joke with tyserigh, well, if you

695
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 1: don't come back with changes by young Blood, you know,

696
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 1: then you're fired. Kidding around? So what it's Tyser too? No,

697
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna come back with Zombie, but not Zombie by

698
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,919
Speaker 1: Young Blood. I'm gonna come back with Zombie by the Cranberries,

699
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,760
Speaker 1: because that's how Alex Tyshert's mind works.

700
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 2: You know what, Jason, what I'll say? One two words? Okay,

701
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 2: You're welcome, all right, Jason.

702
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: Smith Mike Harmon, Live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.

703
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: So the overwhelming football storyline the last few days has

704
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: been reaction to the Pro Football Hall of Fame voting.

705
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: From the initial reports when we found out Bill Belichick

706
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: wasn't getting in, then a couple of days later we

707
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: found out Bob Kraft wasn't getting in. A couple of

708
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: voters said why they didn't vote for Belichick. One voter said,

709
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: because I wanted to put some of the senior candidates

710
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: in else Greenwood, Roger Craig, Ken Anderson. Roger Craig got in.

711
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: Another voter saying, well, Spygate had an issue with me.

712
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: But you know, there seem to be the consensus that,

713
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: you know, Belichick's going to get it at some point.

714
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: That became a big debate for a few days. And

715
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: then we find out the Hall of Fame class last night,

716
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: which does include Roger Craig and now today has been

717
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: the final, okay cap on the ink quill of what's

718
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: going on with the Hall of Fame the past few days.

719
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 1: And there could be changes coming next year to the

720
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, as they have said, Hey, we're gonna

721
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 1: have some changes next year, right, Jim Porter, Hall of

722
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: Fame President, said changes, although not the changes that you

723
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: think and not changes that will help the situation. These

724
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: are what called cosmetic changes, you say, Oh, changes, So

725
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: changing the voting where like, for some stupid reason you

726
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: have three former players up against Bill Belichick and Bob Kraft,

727
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 1: which is stupid. No, no, no, not that. The changes

728
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: that Jim Porter's referring to is, well, we're going to

729
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: have the voters get together in person because since COVID

730
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: they've been getting together via zoom. Oh okay. We're going

731
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: to also hold the voting closer to the NFL honors

732
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 1: so stuff doesn't get leaked out. Oh okay. And also

733
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: there was a threat that Porter said, we're going to

734
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 1: look at replacing voters who would have violated the rules

735
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 1: by discussing the debate about the candidates or by not

736
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,720
Speaker 1: voting for the most deserving candidate in each category. Oh

737
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: so those are the changes really So basically, these changes

738
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: aren't going to solve anything, right, not going to solve anything.

739
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: But when we talked to Jason Cole earlier in the

740
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: show Pro Football Hall of Fame Voter, he was very

741
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: insistent when he said, listen, we talked to me. We

742
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: talked about this with him, and he said, I gotta

743
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 1: tell you this. I put it out on Twitter at

744
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: how about a fresca? He said, none of the leaks

745
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: came from the voters. They all came from the camps

746
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 1: of the people involved, which when you look at the

747
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: Belichick situation, makes sense because when that story came out,

748
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: what did we get in the whole first dump of

749
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: that story, news dump of that story, Belichick's not getting in,

750
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: and sources close to Belichick say, what does a guy

751
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: got to do to get in? Right, we had a

752
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: couple of quotes supposedly attributed to Belichick. Now, if this

753
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: is a voter getting this out there, how do we

754
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 1: have that part of the story. We don't, Right, you

755
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,879
Speaker 1: only have that part of the story if well, maybe

756
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: Belichick's camp let it go out there that hey, I

757
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: didn't get in and I want to make this part

758
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:29,959
Speaker 1: of the storyline. I want people to know and here's

759
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: a little quote that you can attribute to me. What

760
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: else does a guy have to do to get in?

761
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, I kind of get and I believe Jason

762
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: Cole when he says, listen, none of the people had

763
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: voted or letting him know. These are leaks are coming

764
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: from people who didn't get in and the people involved

765
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 1: in that situation.

766
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 3: Because that's the curiosity, right, because the Hall of Fame

767
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 3: is saying, well, you know, there might be repercussions and

768
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 3: voting privileges revoked for those people, like yeah, and see

769
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 3: if any of those fifty people break rank and actually

770
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 3: come out and say, yeah, it was me. It's like

771
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 3: we got the hey, I voted against this that the

772
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 3: other I mean, do they get some sort of you know,

773
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 3: slap on the wrist for that right for the article

774
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 3: in the Kansas City Star and whatever else? Because what

775
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 3: Jason Goles is like, no, go go blame the people

776
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 3: that are part of the process, and that's not going

777
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 3: to change in this case. It becomes several days of

778
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 3: a love fest for the most part for Belichick and

779
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 3: then later for Craft as we watched this unfold and

780
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 3: it took over super Bowl week for sure. But the

781
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 3: other changes that as currently proposed, I mean, you still

782
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 3: have the lunacy as you laid out of your senior candidates.

783
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 3: Here's your players, here's your contributor, here your coach. You

784
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 3: go go figure that out. It's like, no, it's comparing

785
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 3: apples and oranges, and that doesn't change anything and isn't

786
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 3: going to change the backlog in any way, shape or form.

787
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's cosmetic and great, tell me there's change,

788
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 3: But you want to go do something substantive, I'll hear it.

789
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 3: But otherwise we're just gonna be in the same boat

790
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 3: next year.

791
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: Right. And here's the thing is, is I have the changes.

792
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: That's good. That's gonna need right, want to be part

793
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: of the solution because Jim Porter says he doesn't envision

794
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 1: changes to that possibility that you have the three senior

795
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: candidates alongside Belichick, alongside Craft, right, Like, I don't see

796
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: change that, And that's just stupid because why would you

797
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: have players against a coach and an owner in the

798
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: same category. That's just dumb, Right, that's just dumb. It's

799
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,280
Speaker 1: easy enough if you did this, you have the fifty voters,

800
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,479
Speaker 1: you have the modern candidates right, which we saw four

801
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 1: guys go in last night. You have one category with

802
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 1: the senior candidates or the vets, and then you have

803
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: your coaches front office category, and who gets enough votes

804
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: to get in in each of those categories each year.

805
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: If you do it that way, you are still sending

806
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: in the modern candidates. You're still putting in one or

807
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,280
Speaker 1: two whatever it is candidate wise for the senior candidates,

808
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: and maybe you're putting in a coach and the people

809
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: that need to get in or getting it. You don't

810
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 1: need to put in a coach or a GM or

811
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: an owner every year. But when it comes time for

812
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: a coach like Belichick, it should be okay, yeah, he's

813
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer, we can vote to put him in.

814
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: But when you mix the players with the coach, like,

815
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 1: it doesn't make like how are you trying to go? Well, okay,

816
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: who is more important to the NFL? Ken Anderson, who

817
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 1: really helped revitalize what the quarterback position was, you know

818
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,439
Speaker 1: with the Bengals, or is it Bill Belichick who won

819
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: six Super Bowls? Like like, what are we talking about here?

820
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 1: What are we really doing? So if you just have

821
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: the modern players in one category, and then you have

822
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: the voting criteria, and the senior players another category voting criteria,

823
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 1: and then owners and but you don't have to put

824
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: him in every year. You don't have to put somebody in.

825
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: If they get the votes, they get in, then things

826
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: get at least a little bit more linear, and it's

827
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,720
Speaker 1: it's an easier process, and you don't force the voters

828
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: to pick who they want to vote for. I really

829
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 1: want to vote for Roger Craig. It's his last chance

830
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 1: to get it, and I believe he is a Hall

831
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 1: of Famer. I can't argue with a guy who has

832
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: that philosophy over Bill Belichick. Belichick's gonna get in at

833
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 1: some point. I don't care about first ballot as much

834
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: as anybody else does. I think Roger Craig deserves to

835
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 1: be a Hall of Famer. Like at least you take

836
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: that part out of it, and you allow the voters

837
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 1: to vote for the best candidates in each category.

838
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 2: And I want the full transparency.

839
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 3: Look, the individual voters can tell me whether they voted

840
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 3: for a guy or not, that's great, but I want

841
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 3: the tabulation.

842
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 2: I want to know how these five were split.

843
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 1: Right.

844
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 3: Roger Craig's the one of the three veteran players to

845
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 3: get in. Belichick and Craft are left out. I want

846
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 3: to see how those one hundred and fifty votes got

847
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 3: spread out, how many of them just missed the cut,

848
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 3: how many were not even close? Like what did Belichick

849
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 3: really get in terms of this right?

850
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: Like all of that too, some of the guys were getting,

851
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,280
Speaker 1: like we find out Eli Manning's not very close other things,

852
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 1: but overall, to get to make the votes tabulated, make

853
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: them public, I think we're a little bit of ways

854
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: away from that. I don't know, I don't know that.

855
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 3: I want fast change, man, this is not evolution, my

856
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 3: this digital tale.

857
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 6: No.

858
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 2: I want voting transparency.

859
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: Exit out about a Fresca exit, swollen dome. We got

860
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: more super Bowl coming up, but straight Ahead was without

861
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 1: about the biggest and most inspiring sports story of the day.

862
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 1: Jason and Mike Fox Sports
