Before we dive into 46 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: the mailbag, I just recording this Saturday, you know, basically 47 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: dinner time. It's five o'clock here in Arizona. I just 48 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: finished watching Alabama against Old Miss. I've been saying for 49 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: a while I thought the number one over roll pick 50 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: at quarterback was up in the air. I don't think 51 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: it's up in the air anymore. You know that he's small, 52 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: but he is clearly not even close the best quarterback 53 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: in the country. Bryce Young is just a remarkable player. 54 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: I actually think he's the best Alabama quarterback in the 55 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: Saban era. He's definitely the most talented. I mean, he's 56 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,399 Speaker 1: way more talented than Mac or TWA and those two 57 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: guys were the best. I mean, saban had never had 58 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: a quarterback o that high. And someone I put something 59 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: out on Instagram and someone like in the comments was like, 60 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: what about Jalen Hurts. Jalen got benched. Jalen is a 61 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: dramatically better college or i mean NFL player than he 62 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: was in college. As a passer, Bryce is the best 63 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: total package that Alabama's ever had. The problem for Bryce is, 64 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: unlike TWA and Mac, He's not playing with a stack deck. 65 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: I I think this is the least talented Alabama team 66 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: of the saban powerhouse ere I mean, since they've been 67 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: kicking ass and taking names least talented team. I mean, 68 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: I just watched him play lane kivin the talent on 69 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: the field, it doesn't look that dramatic of a difference 70 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: between Old Miss now lanes. You know what's he ate 71 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: into this year? He went ten in three last year, 72 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: is having one of the great two year runs and 73 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: like Ole Miss modern day history, but still like this 74 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: the talent gap at Alabama Ole Miss. Besides, when Hugh 75 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: Freeze was paying all those dudes um illegally. Now I 76 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: mean for me, I don't care. I'm pro capitalism. You 77 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: can pay whoever you want, even before like n C 78 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: double A, get the funk out of here. But you 79 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: know what I mean, you know the tonsils, the forget 80 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: the wide receiver's name, but they had some dudes and 81 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 1: other than that, like old miss should there should be 82 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: a dramatic talent difference, and you just the eye test 83 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: shows you there's not. It really does. Also, the true 84 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 1: freshman right now number forty at l s U, the 85 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: guy looks like von Miller. I mean, if he was 86 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: eligible for the draft, and again he's a true freshman, 87 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: I don't know how he wouldn't go in the top ten. 88 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 1: It's like a nineteen year old he is. He has 89 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: something that even Will Anderson, who's gonna go in the 90 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 1: probably the top five, does not have that ability to 91 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: turn the corner and bend like that. I mean, in 92 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: the last decade, von Miller has really kind of been 93 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: an outlier with that move. It's it's an unstoppable pass 94 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: rush move when you can bend and get low. He 95 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: took over the game against Arkansas Brian Kelly and l 96 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: s U was going to go to the SEC championship 97 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: game and play Georgia because that guy today, he saved 98 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: them that they were getting now played, especially in the 99 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: second half. I think they were gonna lose, but he 100 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: refused to let them loose and of course they did not. Kay, 101 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 1: Let's start with the middlecoff mail back Derek Uh. Here's 102 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 1: a hot take for you. Bright Young will be a 103 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: bust in the NFL. Alabama does not produced great NFL 104 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: quarterbacks because they are used to playing with the best 105 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: wide receiver's, best running backs, and best offensive line every year. 106 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: He's undersized and plays very similar to Jalen Hurts. However, 107 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: Jalen went to a talented and already developed team where 108 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: he could work in blossom. Bryce is gonna be the 109 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: number one overall pick and go to a team really 110 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,359 Speaker 1: needing help. Well, here's the thing. Jalen played on a 111 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: team at Alabama and at Oklahoma with dramatically better players 112 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: than what Bryce is dealing with at Alabama. I'm watching 113 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: Bryce Alabama. He's not playing on first round wide receivers. 114 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,239 Speaker 1: Maybe that tight end number eighty one might be running backs. Okay, 115 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: Uh doesn't feel like they're super loaded at the offensive line. 116 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: This is easily, in my opinion, the worst group of 117 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: talented players now relative to the rest of the country. 118 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: Of course they would take those guys. But let's not 119 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 1: act like he's playing with Jerry Judy. You know, rugs. 120 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: Uh who am I missing Judy Rugs, DeVante Smith. You know, uh, 121 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: Jamison Williams remember last year he did deal with him 122 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 1: that that guy's long gone. Metchi, who was the second 123 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 1: round pick, second round pick, Yeah, towards a c L 124 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: battle in leukemia. Hopefully he gets uh he fights that 125 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: bad boy off kind of crazy terror sale then you 126 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: then you deal with cancer field from Metchi. But this 127 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: Alabama team is not that great. I would say he's 128 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: dramatically I mean dramatically better of a passer at this stage, 129 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: you know, three years into college than Jalen Hurts, not 130 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: even close. And he's much more of an explosive passer 131 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: than twa At the same time. Question for the mail back, 132 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: have you watched Israel Aban Candada at pitt He's a 133 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: running back and reminds me of Kenneth Walker. Not saying 134 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: he's that good, but similar type of speed and also 135 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: crazy season in college with guys like that coming out. 136 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: I've never thought of drafting and running back high in 137 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: the top fifty, but outside the top twenty is good 138 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,559 Speaker 1: value as you can get a star caliber player locked 139 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: up for four or five years at a position that 140 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: is usually good right away. I usually thought the issue 141 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: was the second contract. Due to the west the wear 142 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: and tear at the position. Why don't more teams take 143 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: the strategy at running back of taking elite prospects just 144 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: replacing them with their rookie contract expires. Yeah, I just 145 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: think in a perfect world, it's easy to say that. 146 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: And then you get to the team. You're like, well, 147 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: I need a tackle, I need a corner, and I 148 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: need a guard and a middle linebacker. Like you just 149 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: got other needs, right, It's easy to go into the 150 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: store and be like, you know what, I just need turkey. 151 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: That's my wife sent me to the store just to 152 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: get turkey and cheese so we can make turkey sandwiches. 153 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: Then you get in there, you're like, well, actually, you know, 154 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: I grab some chicken and grab some steaks. Oh, there's 155 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 1: some chips, there's some salad, like I grab a lot 156 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: of things. I grab some beer. So I think the 157 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: draft just opened your mind, like you go in with 158 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: wet well, hell, this is a great strategy. Every three 159 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: or four years, replace a new running back. And then 160 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: you get to the draft you're like, well, our right 161 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,599 Speaker 1: tackle and right guards suck. And it's the second or 162 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: third round and we're gonna take a guard and we're 163 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: gonna take a safety because we need those two positions. 164 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: So I hear you, and I understand what you're saying. 165 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,599 Speaker 1: But I think sometimes that's easier said than done. I 166 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: guess it's probably the best way to say that. I'll 167 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: be in Vegas in December, staying on the strip, looking 168 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: for a reasonable, reasonably priced golf course nearby. Any public 169 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: courses you recommend, you know, to be honest with you, 170 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 1: I've never played golf in Vegas in my entire life. Now, 171 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: I would imagine a lot like Arizona. Your public courses 172 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: are gonna be pretty expensive. Why because you have good 173 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: weather in Vegas, you know, in when you're going in 174 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: December in theory, now, who knows, it could be hit 175 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 1: or miss. It's it's cold here right now. I'm wearing 176 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: a sweatshirt and pants. But I don't have I don't 177 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: have any recommendations for you. That's that's something I need 178 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: to check off my bucket lists. Play some golf in Vegas. 179 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: From Stewart, Just curious why you're so down on Steve 180 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: Wilkes in Carolina. He had one year in Arizona where 181 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: he was dealt Josh Rosen. Now he's in Carolina with 182 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: p J. Walker. Other than maybe Belichick, No one wins 183 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: with those quarterbacks. Well, here's my thing. He was coming 184 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: off Bruce arians had just been consistently winning, and I'm 185 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: pretty sure the year before they had gone eight and eight, 186 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: and then obviously he led them. Uh you know, I 187 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: guess yeah, they were fifteen. They traded up for Josh Rosen. 188 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,719 Speaker 1: What I saw to Steve Wilkes that year was one 189 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: of the most embarrassing things I've ever seen. He tried 190 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: to force fee to defense. I'm not a huge believer, like, 191 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: when you inherit a team and you're trying to be competitive, 192 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: you're not trying to tank, and they clearly were not. 193 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: Figure out what works with the team you have, and 194 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 1: then over time you can kind of change the defense. Well, 195 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,559 Speaker 1: they played a three four, and then the next year 196 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: he tried to play a four three and I'm pretty 197 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: sure they had the worst defense in the league. It's like, 198 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: you're defensive guy, can't you just figure out what defense 199 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: to run for your players? Like, ultimately, you can't turn 200 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: over the roster. And in year as a brand new 201 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: head coach, they were a lifeless, anemic group. Now you 202 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: could argue that Josh Rosen sucked, and ultimately, big picture, 203 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: he definitely did. He's a lifetime practice squad player. He's 204 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 1: not even a backup technically, I think he might know. 205 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: I don't even think he's a backup right now. So 206 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,679 Speaker 1: I I just what I saw, and I watched a 207 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: lot of NFC West football that was bad. I've seen 208 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: some bad coaches over the years, right, Jim tom Seula, 209 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: Steve Wilkes, Chip Kelly like he's on the shortlist of 210 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: just most embarrassing lifeless teams. Like listen, I'm watching the Cardinals. 211 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: I actually just broke down and on Friday afternoon I 212 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: turned on their Hard Knocks. I will give them this. 213 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: When I watched the Cardinals play, I don't necessarily see 214 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: a gutless group. I see guys play hard. I just 215 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,479 Speaker 1: see terrible coaching and very hit or miss quarterback play. 216 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: And if you wanted to have one knock on Bryce 217 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: like one thing that kind of hit me watching Hard 218 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: Knocks and thinking about Kyler is what if there's just 219 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: a fundamental flaw that Kyler can never overcome despite loving 220 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 1: to play video games and not loving to watch film. 221 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:13,199 Speaker 1: He just simply can't see why he's short, Like, why 222 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: can't a guard guard a center in basketball? Well, in 223 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 1: the NBA, your point guard is six ft three in 224 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,959 Speaker 1: the center is six ft eleven. There's just a seize mismatch. 225 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: He's got fucking seven eight inches on the guy nine 226 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: inches Tennanches who knows, like Kyler Murray's five ft ten 227 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: trying to look over guys six ft four. So there's 228 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: an element of just you can't see, and I do 229 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: wonder if that factors in sometimes with Kyler struggles. Is 230 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: high matters, right, There's a reason why most good quarterbacks 231 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 1: in the history of the the league have been like six 232 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: six five, because you're playing in front of taller players. Hey, John, 233 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: new fan of the show, eighteen year listener to Colin 234 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: and found you at the volume. So glad you too 235 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: linked up. So it's not a football, But I'm a 236 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: golfer and I'm worried about the future of the sport. 237 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: I'm a die hard Tiger Woods fan that used to 238 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: watch every round as much as it was available. These days, 239 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: I'm tuning in on the back. Nine of the majors 240 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: were the same age, so you know the effect Tiger 241 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: had on the sport. I just worry as he phases out, 242 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: if it leaves the sport and shambles. From a viewer standpoint, 243 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: I know golf will be fine because everyone loves to play. 244 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: But what do you think needs to happen to get 245 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: my mom and family watching on Sunday again? And not 246 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: just me? Anyways, I love the work own some restaurants 247 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: here in apple Astian, North Carolina. Apple Astan Country appreciate it. 248 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: Thanks for the note. There is no replacing Tiger Woods, 249 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: just like there was no replacing Michael Jordan's or there 250 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: will be no replacing you know, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, 251 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: Like there are certain transcendent stars, but even Tiger is 252 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: on a completely different level than Tom Brady and Payton Manning. 253 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: That's a bad comparison. I think Michael Jordan's a better one. 254 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,319 Speaker 1: Sometimes when I see Lebron on ads and listen, I'm 255 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: not trying to sound like a hater, but like I 256 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: feel like Lebron peaked five years ago. I understand that 257 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: he's in l A and he's with the big money guys, 258 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 1: but like these companies that are having him be the 259 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: frontman for the ads is a bad idea. I I 260 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: think his uh what's his Q rating with the average 261 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: fan is not as high as these companies think, because 262 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: when I see Lebron, I go Whenever I talk about 263 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: Lebron with random people, I get negative responses. To me, 264 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: there are a couple of guys in the history of 265 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: sports that like when you say their name, you just 266 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: go damn. Michael and Tiger are definitely one and one 267 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: A and one B in my mind. So there is 268 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: no replacing Tiger Woods. They never will and they more 269 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: than likely we may never see a Tiger again unless 270 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: Charlie Woods becomes the next Tiger. In the likelihood of 271 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: that is very slim to nun though if you're on 272 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: the internet, you see Tiger is catting for Charlie and 273 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: trying to turn him into like a Tiger two point out. 274 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: But I don't think or you can't replace that, and 275 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: they're never gonna do the television ratings that they once did. 276 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: I think the thing you can hope is that people 277 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: I would say, like to forty over the last several 278 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: years have gotten into golf when they did not play before, 279 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: So it's becoming much more of a casual public sport, 280 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: and I would say over the last like half decade, 281 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: a lot more random people that never would have played. 282 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: When I was a kid, golf was a rich country 283 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: club sport. I know a ton of guy like blue 284 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: collar people, plumbers, construction workers that play golf now that 285 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: years ago never would have played golf. So the more 286 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: and more people that play golf, the more and more 287 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: people that will watch golf. You watch what you play, right, Like, 288 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: why do so many people watch the NFL? Well, by far, 289 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: the most amount of people in America for high school 290 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: sports play football. Just a numbers game, right, Some schools 291 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: have seventy eight people play high school football. So if 292 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: you can get more and more people into golf, more 293 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: and more people to watch. But how they replaced Tiger? 294 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: There is no replacing Tiger Like, you don't replace You 295 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: don't replace that. You can replace Babe Ruth, you can hell, 296 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: you can replace Tom Brady, You can't replace Tiger Woods. 297 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: Longtime listener from Japan love listen to the pod. I'm 298 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: a general consumer of the NBA, but recently started watching 299 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: the NFL too. The Warriors haven't been great to say 300 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: the least. I know these games won't matter, but there 301 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: are also reasons why, uh, they have a suboptimal record. 302 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: Their bench stinks as much as their productivity. They don't 303 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: fucking cheer as much as great Warrior's teams have been 304 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: doing over the over the years. God, you're dialed in. 305 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: So the question is to you, how much does the 306 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: cheering on the bench mob matter when there are a 307 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: lot more guys on the sideline than basketball. Do teams 308 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: try to get certain types of personalities on their squad? 309 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: I think the issue, yeah, I would imagine that matters 310 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: in the NBA specifically, you want your backup guys, especially 311 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: guys that aren't playing, to be super high character guys 312 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 1: that are basketball junkies right, No different than you want 313 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: your special teams guys to be super tough love football guys. 314 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 1: You can't have your role players be like half in 315 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: guys like you can have Kyrie's and the James Harden's 316 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,199 Speaker 1: like when you're best player, and you can argue Kyrie 317 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: is kind of overrated, but you know what I mean. 318 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: I think the main issue for the Warriors, and this 319 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 1: speaks to a lot of NFL teams too, when you 320 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: get the opportunity to draft high and the Warriors did 321 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: they got James Wiseman number two overall, they got Jonathan 322 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: cominga number seven overall, and they got uh, Moses Moody 323 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: from Arkansas, I think thirteen or fourteen. That's the equivalent 324 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: of having like obviously the number two pick. The seventh 325 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 1: pick in the NBA is probably equivalent to a top 326 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,880 Speaker 1: two or three pick, and Moses Moody top fourteen picks 327 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: equivalent of like a top ten pick. You gotta hit 328 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: on those guys, and right now none of them can play. 329 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: Wiseman is bench. The Wiseman and Moody have not played 330 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: the last couple of games, so his dog's going nuts. 331 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: So the reality is when you get high draft picks NBA, 332 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: NFL like, you gotta hit because when you do hit, 333 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: it changes your franchise because that's where the most talented 334 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 1: players are. Plus it's where you get the pick of 335 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: the litter. You can pick any player. And it looks 336 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 1: like right now that I don't want to say they missed, 337 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: but it's not going well. It's not going well at all. 338 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: You're Tony Dungee and Jason Garrett take was elite. I 339 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:37,719 Speaker 1: turned them off. Coming from an Australian fan, Uh, ultimately, 340 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 1: like no one wants to watch Tony Dungee and Jason 341 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: Garrett talk to us about football and Sunday Night. Not 342 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 1: not a soul except the NBC executives. And they're obviously 343 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: making a lot of money. Like I just don't know 344 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: who who raised their hand and goes, this is a 345 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 1: good idea, Like that exact to me is terrible at 346 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,199 Speaker 1: his job. He's awful at his job. And you know 347 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 1: a lot of executives in sports televisions, I mean, just 348 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: turn on television, fucking awful, Like who wants to watch 349 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: this crap? And you check out the numbers the majority 350 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: of these TV shows and this notion that like you 351 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 1: could put me you, you can put the dog on 352 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: Sunday Night football, it would not matter, Like we're all 353 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: watching it no matter what. So those guys have nothing 354 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: to do with the ratings, absolutely nothing. It is it's 355 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: a Tony deng hasn't said anything meaningful forever. Jason Garrett, 356 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 1: Like no one wants to watch Jason Garrett talk to 357 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 1: me about the NFL. Probably a good guy, was an 358 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: average mediocre coach, Like I don't want to hear from 359 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: he smiles all the time, like stop smiling, Jason, it's 360 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 1: very weird, he smiles, too much. Question for the pod 361 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: with way recent quarterback contracts for non top five quarterbacks 362 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: are looking disasters Stafford, Russell Wilson, Kyler, Aaron Rodgers. Do 363 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: you think that the market for non top five quarterbacks 364 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: will reset or do you anticipate quarterback contracts to continue 365 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: going up after all? Well, here's the thing, Aaron Rodgers. 366 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 1: He was back to back m v P. They had 367 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: to pay him Kyler awful contract, but we all knew 368 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: that was bad. Russell Wilson, you know that was tough spot. 369 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: They traded the farm for him. They didn't really have 370 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: a choice, Matt Stafford. They just won the Super Bowl. 371 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 1: So I think beside Kyler Murray, all these contracts are 372 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: pretty understandable. Here's the reality. When you invest a massive 373 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: contract in a quarterback, a massive contract in an NBA star, 374 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: a massive contract in a baseball player, Bryce Harper, whoever, 375 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 1: they's gotta be good, and if they're good, it's fine. 376 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,439 Speaker 1: The Philadelphia Phillies gave Bryce Harper three thirty million dollars. 377 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: Do you know what They've never regretted giving Bryce Harper 378 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: that money? The Kanci Chiefs gave Patrick Mahomes a ton 379 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 1: of money. You know what, They've never thought twice about 380 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 1: giving him that money. Aaron Rodgers, if he had played 381 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: like he's been playing in previous years, they wouldn't even 382 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: think twice. The problem is the Lions game, he was shitty, 383 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: and he's been kind of hit or miss lately. Russell 384 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: Wilson has been awful. If Russell Wilson has just played 385 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: like Russell Wilson in Seattle, no one would complain. You 386 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: just have to live up to your contract. And it's 387 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: one thing when you give average players Dak Prescott a 388 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: hundred sixty million dollars like, it's probably not gonna go well. 389 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 1: But when I give Aaron Rodgers fifty million dollars guaranteed 390 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,640 Speaker 1: and he's the back to back m v P like, 391 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: I expect him, maybe not to keep winning m vps, 392 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: but just play like a pro bowler, play like a 393 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 1: top five quarterback. I don't think that's inconceivable to ask 394 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: the same thing with Russell Wilson's same thing with Matt Stafford. 395 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford has been awful. Mats Safford has been like 396 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: a bottom ten quarterback in the NFL. This year, Matt 397 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: Stafford was the top ten quarterback, Like, it's not that 398 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 1: big a deal, but he's not playing very well. When 399 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: you pay a premium, you have to get a premium back, right, 400 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: So all these people anyone listening. If you bought a 401 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: home over the last year, you keep telling me about 402 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,679 Speaker 1: your cheap interest rate, but if you paid three x 403 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,239 Speaker 1: with that thing was worth two years ago. Like, if 404 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 1: your home is really nice, it's a good area, it 405 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: won't matter. But if it's in an area that's a 406 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: little fickle, and you're like location, the schools aren't great, Like, 407 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: buckle up, don't be mad. In two years or a year, 408 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: fucking all hell breaks loose, right, so we all take 409 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,679 Speaker 1: calculated risks. Like to me that there was no calculated 410 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 1: risks on Kyler, that was insane, that was idiotic. But 411 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 1: like Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Matt Stafford, I mean I 412 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: would say those were calculated risks that I would have 413 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: probably done. I definitely would have done if I were 414 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: all three teams. So it would be hypocritical of me 415 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: to act like dumb contract Like Russell Wilson looks way 416 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: shittier than he's ever looked Matt Stafford looks awful. Aaron Rodgers. 417 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: I get he's played with average wide receivers, but holy ship, 418 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: that Lions game, he was shitty. He was bad. I'm 419 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,479 Speaker 1: a friends of State alone. I love when you talk 420 00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: of the Dogs in Pat Hill. Quick question on the 421 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: Dogs quarterback Jake Kner. Do you think he will get drafted? 422 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: I think he's a dog and as potential to play 423 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: in the league. Well, he reminds me a lot of 424 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 1: Iowa State's quarterback Brock Purty, who was Mr. Irrelevant drafted 425 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: by the Forts. He beat out in Nate Sudfeld and 426 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: he's now Uh technically, he was a third string guy 427 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: when the season started because Jimmy Garoppolo came back, but 428 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: he's the backup quarterback now. I think there's some similarities 429 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: with those two players. Smaller guys, gun slingers, tough, uh, 430 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: just guys quarterback coaches are gonna like the number one 431 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: thing you have to be if you are a quarterback 432 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: who's not going to be like a top three or 433 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 1: four round guy, is have traits that coaches are gonna 434 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: fall in love with. Toughness, instincts uh, just absolute football junkie. 435 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 1: Love playing football. Uh, football savant, you know in terms 436 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: of just always basically a co which on the field, 437 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 1: Uh can't get enough of football. Just be addicted to 438 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,679 Speaker 1: football like a coach, and then the coach will like 439 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: you a lot. I mean, that's that's the key. When 440 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: you're not going to be a super super high drafted quarterback, 441 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 1: like when you're c. J. Strouder will love us like 442 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,199 Speaker 1: you're gonna go in the top ten. You don't need 443 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,959 Speaker 1: to have all those characteristics. Question for the pod do 444 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 1: you think Brady leaves the Bucks after this season? Would 445 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: he pick a team with a better coach or go 446 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 1: with elite players? The questions are flowing now that we 447 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: are moving to a throwing league. Who do you think 448 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: the big trade? I think Brady's done. I think Brady 449 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: will retire at the end of the season. That is 450 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: my guess. It was funny for a minute when he 451 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: got a divorce and everyone's like, he chose football over 452 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: his family. I hate that he did not choose football 453 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: over his family. He's getting a divorce, he gets to 454 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 1: still see his kids. He's a good dad, he gets kids. 455 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 1: He gets his kids as much as sheet does. He 456 00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 1: chose football over his wife, which you listen, if you 457 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: did a poll of men in America, I would say 458 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: he would not be alone. But ultimately he chose football 459 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: over his wife. And and maybe there's I mean, obviously 460 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 1: there's more to it than that. But I think Tom 461 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: Brady will not be playing in the NFL next year. 462 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 1: Then I think the question is is Tom Brady calling 463 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: football games for Fox next year? Because I know they 464 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: signed him, but like, is he really going to be 465 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: working for Fox next year? I don't know. Time will tell. 466 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: I hope he is. I think that would be kind 467 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,439 Speaker 1: of cool, even though I saw that Burkhardt and Olsen, 468 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: so Olsen will basically get demoted and Brady will fill 469 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: in with Burkhart that they're they're up like ten percent 470 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:43,479 Speaker 1: over last year. And listen, I've known Kevin just through Twitter. 471 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 1: I don't know Joe Buck at all, so I'm not 472 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 1: like I think both they're both studs. But the reality 473 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: is with games like the play by play, having a 474 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 1: good play by play guy and a good um you know, 475 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: right hand guy, like the football the analysis guy is 476 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: important because we see with the bad cruise it's hard watch. 477 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 1: But when they're good, like they just blend in you 478 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 1: don't even notice them, like Tariko al Michael's, Collins Worth Olsen, 479 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: Troy Aikman. When they're bad, you notice them, but they 480 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: don't like we're watching the game regardless. You could put 481 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: the worst crew on Sunday Night Football and there's not 482 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 1: gonna be any more or less people watching. Like that, 483 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 1: they are just a cog into the show. Now, you 484 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 1: could argue they matter in the show, and they do. 485 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: But like if you give me Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, 486 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: you and I could call the game and thirty million 487 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: people are watching. Now, do we hurt the game because 488 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: we suck? Yeah, of course, But do we limit the audience? 489 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: I don't think we do. That's not the case. Like 490 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: if you come to a podcast and the podcast sucks, 491 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: you're turning it off. Like if I don't entertain you, 492 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: you won't listen. We don't make any money. Like if 493 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: you a television show, if the television show is not 494 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: good and nobody watches it gets it doesn't get renewed 495 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 1: after season one. That's not the way the NFL works 496 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: the NFL in terms of their television pro So I 497 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: just I guess this is a long way of saying, 498 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:05,919 Speaker 1: like Tom Brady gonna be any good at television, I 499 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,400 Speaker 1: don't know, but people will be interested. I don't want 500 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: to say that long term, he'll have to be good 501 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 1: to keep people interested, but at first I do think 502 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 1: they'll get a little boost from him. Specifically, like Tom 503 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: Brady is doing television. He's one of the biggest stars. 504 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: I mean in the history of my life. I'm thirty 505 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: eight years old. I mean Tiger obviously, Jordan one farv 506 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: Uh he's on the he'd be up there. I mean, 507 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: he'd be in the top five for sure. He's probably 508 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: the biggest NFL star in my life. He's I mean 509 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: obviously the most accomplished, but biggest star. I feel like 510 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: far Of was. It's weird, like, obviously Tom has accomplished 511 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: way more than Brett, but I'm not obviously off the field, 512 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: but it's got some major question marks. But in terms 513 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: of stardom, it feels like Brett's the top five star 514 00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: in my life. Uh, you know any sports sad on 515 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: that at John Middle Cops Instagram firing those d m s. 516 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: Have a good weekend.
