A lot of rumors 10 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: flying around the old National Football League right now with 11 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: player movement, saw a DK Metcalf potential trade, so we 12 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: got a lot going on, and the rumors and the stories. 13 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: We'll keep on flying out of Indianapolis. At the NFL Combine, 14 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: I always say, like combine so boring. And the last 15 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: night I'm glued to it on my couch watching three 16 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: hundred and ten pound men run around little cones and 17 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 1: run forties. It's entertaining to me. I'm not gonna lie. 18 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 1: But other than that, if you listen on Collins Feed, 19 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: make sure you subscribe to the Three and Out podcast. 20 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: This is audio only, but we got a YouTube channel, 21 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: so fire on that YouTube channel, and yeah, let's start 22 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: with some questions. We'll try to do a little rapid 23 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: fire here. Jacob, what's the deal with the tush push? 24 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,759 Speaker 1: I don't understand why they would get rid of it. 25 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: It's football. The whole game is predicated on imposing your 26 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: team's will against the other. Help this spud farmer from 27 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: Idaho understand what the rationale is. I'm sure he's a 28 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: Cooper Degene and Caitlin Clark fan. I guess that's Iowa, 29 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: not Idaho. Maybe you're a Doug Nustmeyer fan. He was 30 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: a quarterback back in the early nineties. That I do know. Mike, 31 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: you potty, I would say this, if the Eagles had 32 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: just gone seven to ten seven and ten seven and 33 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: ten seven and ten aka the Falcons, and they had 34 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: the tush push, no one would care. It would not matter. 35 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: I promise you that it just would not be a 36 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 1: major story. But when you dominate, and when you win 37 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and you've won your conference twice in 38 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: three years, it's no different than most industries. There are 39 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: a lot of companies right now doing things that would 40 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: really piss off the government, their competition if they were 41 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 1: bigger and once you get to a certain level, i e. Google, Facebook, 42 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: you name it, people start coming after you. So I 43 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: think the Eagles with them winning, right, if they are, 44 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: let's just pick another team. If they were the New 45 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: York Giants running the Tush push and that was their 46 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 1: play the last under Brian Dable, no one would be 47 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: talking about this. But when you win the Super Bowl, 48 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: it just becomes like it's unfair. I mean, the Patriots 49 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: dealt with stuff like this forever. It's just part of 50 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: the deal. Let's let's face it. If you're gonna be 51 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: a winner in life, if you're gonna be successful, especially 52 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: financially in most businesses, people are gonna come after you. 53 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: That's the way the world works. It's kind of sad, 54 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: but it's just it's just a reality. It's no different 55 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: in football. It really isn't. So I'm with you. I 56 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: don't really have It doesn't bother me like it's it's 57 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: I've seen other teams attempt to do it and they 58 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: don't do it as well. Right, And I do agree 59 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: with Sirianni of like that they do take that play 60 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: pretty seriously, coaching it up fundamentally, and that they have 61 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: the uh. I mean they have the X factor that 62 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: their quarterback squats like nine pounds. I would imagine I 63 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: think about this, but there's probably currently not a stronger 64 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: quarterback in terms of his life in the NFL, you know, 65 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: and even like over the last twenty years. You pick 66 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: a guy like Cam Newton, who's probably pound for pound, 67 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: you know, the strongest, most powerful quarterback in NFL history. 68 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: He's so tall that part of the play is he 69 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: can get low. We just saw Josh Allen, who's like 70 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: a Cam Newton better version. It's hard for him to 71 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: get low. I mean, part of that play is Jalen disappears. 72 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: So I don't know. 73 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 2: I mean, I I'm not that worked up over it, 74 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 2: but I get if I was, like lived in Philadelphia, 75 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 2: I'd actually kind of enjoy this because this type stuff 76 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 2: that the big dogs deal with. 77 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: Like I said, this is the stuff the Patriots tell 78 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 1: with forever. People are always taking shots to the Yankees, 79 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: the Lakers like this is That's a good thing. Another 80 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: question about the Eagles. Do you think the position of 81 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: OC for the Eagles is going to become less important 82 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: as Jalen becomes more and more comfortable at the line 83 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 1: of scrimmage with Kelzer retiring this year, he got more 84 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: responsibility in the line. As you saw the season go, 85 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: you saw his confidence commanding the offense increase. I feel 86 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: like that confidence is going to continue and grow. Eventually 87 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: he'll be able to be like an OC on the field. Yeah. 88 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: I mean I listen being the offensive coordinator, and I 89 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: think I saw a stat you know, if you think 90 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: about it. He had a bunch of offensive coordinators in Alabama. 91 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: He then transferred to Oklahoma, which obviously a new offensive 92 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: coordinator in Lincoln Riley. And then he has had in Philadelphia. 93 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: He's had Doug Peterson, He's had Nick Sirianni, then Shane Sichin, 94 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: then Brian Johnson and Kellen Moore and now whoever Potolo 95 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: I just counted on my hand. I mean, you're you're 96 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: talking six plus coordinators in a five year NFL career, 97 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 1: Like it is difficult. Now. I don't think much is 98 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: going to change for the Eagle. So this transition is 99 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: pretty easy. But it's not as easy as the way 100 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: you make it out to be, don't I don't think. 101 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: And here's the other thing, Like Jalen, I say this 102 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: all the time about the NFL, and this is the 103 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: best part about sports, Like it's either win or you lose, 104 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: so like that, there's no revisionist history. It's like, well 105 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: they got really close again. They lost in the first round, right, 106 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 1: I won the Super Bowl, But they were coming down 107 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: the home stretch in some trouble there against the Rams, 108 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: and I just pulled up that box score. Matt Stafford, 109 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: who wants way more money than the Rams are willing 110 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 1: to pay him, through for three hundred and twenty four 111 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns in that game. Jalen Hurts was 112 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty four one hundred and thirty yards, So like, 113 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: what if they would have lost that game, But that's 114 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: the point of sport. They didn't, so who cares? And 115 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: that game gets forgotten and then all we remember the 116 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: last two games where he dominated. So I just think that, 117 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: you know, it's part of the way that we discussed 118 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: this whole thing, and it's why I hate, like coaches 119 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: love doing this and the average guy when he says 120 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: it's one thing if Andy Reid wants to say it, 121 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: you know, or the top guys, but like when the 122 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: dude drafting seventh overall in the draft, that coach for 123 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: like three straight years hasn't had a winning record. He's like, 124 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: we're a process oriented thing. It's like now that this 125 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: business is about results. The reason everyone wants to know 126 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: about Nick Saban's process is because he was winning championships, 127 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: so he could talk about the process. Like Jeff Bezos, 128 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: his process is interesting because he created the biggest company 129 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: of all time Steve Jobs whoever? Right, But no one 130 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: wants to hear about the process unless you want to 131 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: know how not to fail. About the guy that went 132 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: bankrupt four times? You know, I think we gotta be 133 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: careful about that. But listen, you win, you get to 134 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: dictate the terms, and I think Jalen is gonna have 135 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: a lot of positive momentum coming into the season. In 136 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: your scouting days or even when you were around the league, 137 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: was there a player that comes to mind that didn't 138 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: have the greatest measurables or physical traits but was an 139 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: absolute baller And you could tell immediately. You know, people 140 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: forget this because he's I mean, honestly, he's insanely famous 141 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: right now. But when Jason Kelcey came into the NFL, 142 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: he was I just pulled up his pre draft measurables again, 143 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: this guy's a center. Now a lot has changed, I 144 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: would say, and even at the time, but it was 145 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: really hard to play offensive line if you weren't three 146 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: hundred plus pounds. When he went to the combine, he 147 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: was two hundred and eighty pounds. Now, what he had 148 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,719 Speaker 1: really going for him is he ran basically a four 149 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: nine forty in his ten yard split. Like he was 150 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: really athletic. He was a freak show, but he was small, 151 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: and a lot of people like he wasn't like a 152 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: second round center. When you look at some of the 153 00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: guys the Eagles have that that have taken over. You know, 154 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: Cam Jurgens was a second round pick. Landon Dickerson second 155 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: round pick. So the two guys that I know, Dickerson's 156 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: technically a guard, but if he has to, he can 157 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: play center. I mean those guys. Landon Dickerson, for example, 158 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: is six foot five, basically sixty six, three hundred and 159 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: thirty pounds. Cam Jurgens is. Cam Jurgens is you know, 160 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: Jason Kelcey six y three, but he's three hundred pounds, 161 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: so he's twenty pounds heavier at the same spot and 162 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: as athletic, Jason was really small relative to the rest 163 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: of the league. That's why he went in the sixth round. 164 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: But Howard Mudd, who had come from Peyton Manning. You 165 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 1: know Peyton, they they really were able to take a 166 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: lot of like random offensive linemen and be really successful. Now, 167 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: a huge part of that was because Peyton could like 168 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 1: get rid of the ball extremely quick and was like 169 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: basically an offensive coordinators. That was a player, very unique situation. 170 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: But Howard was an elite offensive line coach and liked 171 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: the small, quick guys. But Jason was really small and 172 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: a lot of people didn't think he would be able 173 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: to hold up. And then in training camp he won 174 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: the starting job so and then never looked back. Was 175 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: a starting center for the Eagles for what year was 176 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: at twenty eleven for the next twelve thirteen years, and 177 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: clearly got better with age. Now part of it, I 178 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: think he got stronger and bigger, and even he said 179 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: and listen, this is another thing. And I think Baker 180 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: Mayfield is kind of the modern Jason. Jason was a 181 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: pretty big party, I don't want to say screw around guy, 182 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: but was like early on in his career, big party guy. 183 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: He was young, and I mean a lot of guys 184 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 1: in the NFL are. But if you look at his career, 185 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: he didn't start. He was a good player and became 186 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: an immediate starter. But even I think I heard him 187 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: on a podcast say this like they were a trader 188 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: room at the end of the Chip Kelly beginning of 189 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 1: the Doug Peterson era, he started making Pro Bowls. Think 190 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: about this. Jason Kelce was drafted in twenty eleven and 191 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 1: began starting immediately. He did not make a Pro Bowl 192 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: till twenty fourteen, so several years into his career, but 193 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: he became a high end like first team All Pro 194 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. And even he says it's because of his wife. 195 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: So he met his wife, started having children and it 196 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: changed his career. I think when I look at Baker Mayfield, 197 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: you know, it looked like battled some stuff maturity wise, 198 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: got in a serious relationship, got married, had a child. 199 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: Now is a fucking stud. I mean, I don't know 200 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: what's Baker top seven eight quarterback in the NFL, and 201 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 1: on given weeks, I mean, can be one of the 202 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: best players in the NFL. So I think sometimes you 203 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: just see like this guy's gonna play in the NFL 204 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: right away, and some guys depending on the positions, Like 205 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: you need the pa ads on. So it's sometimes hard 206 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 1: to tell in training camp, right, But I remember like 207 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, Like I think sometimes you're asking 208 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 1: questions like Khalil Mack shows up or Amari Cooper shows 209 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 1: up or you know whoever. George Kittle was a guy. 210 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: But George Kittle, the Iowa offense is terrible. He's a 211 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: freak physically. I remember who Funga, who is a free 212 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: agent right now. You know, fell to the third day 213 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 1: of the draft out of usc because a lot of 214 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: people didn't think he had a position. It's like, well, 215 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: he's not big enough to play linebacker and he's not 216 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: fast enough to play safety, and then he started playing football. 217 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: You're like, this guy's a good football player. He's battled 218 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: injuries the last couple of years, but like went healthy, 219 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: Like he's a really really good player. He just can't 220 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: stay healthy. So I think sometimes you just don't know 221 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: until the pads come on. We gotten a lottery for 222 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: the Masters and got tickets for a practice day. Any 223 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: recommendations on which hole to sit and watch? Big Florida 224 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: Gator fan, how do you think they're going to beat 225 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 1: this upcoming year. Well, I've never been to Augusta, so 226 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: I you know, the way I would approach it would 227 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: I would be walking all over the course, and I 228 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: know based on people discussing it, it's not the flattest course, 229 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: so it's it can be a challenging walk. I would 230 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: take in every hole. I would walk every blade of grass, 231 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: you know, like Belichick's used to say, we are going 232 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: to defend every blade of grass. That's how I would 233 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: approach Augusta. I would start a hole one, and I 234 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: would work my way through eighteen holes, and then I'd 235 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: probably work backwards. I would check out the entire property 236 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: and everywhere I could go, I would go, especially a 237 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: practice round, I would do less sitting at a spot, 238 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: and I would be roaming. I would treat that thing 239 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: like a like a pike, and I would never stop 240 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: moving beside to slam some sandwiches and some bruskis. The Gators, 241 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: I do believe this. I think they were one of 242 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: the hottest teams in the country down the stretch. And 243 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: I think if they would have got in the playoffs 244 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: and matched up against some some teams, like could they 245 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: have beat Ohio State? No, but like could they have 246 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: given Notre Dame or Penn State a game. Would Indiana 247 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: have beat Florida at the end of the season, No 248 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: fucking chance. So I think Florida, I think it's fair 249 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: to go. Could we win nineteen games next year? Now 250 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: I'd be lying, you know, from a roster standpoint if 251 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: I'm like comfortable, like you're too deep. I don't know that, 252 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: But clearly that young quarterback's good and you know physically 253 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: like you guys have some talent. Like watching that game 254 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: against ole Miss, I was impressed. So props to Napier 255 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: for saving his job and honestly just building up a 256 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: lot of positive momentum. You know. One thing I was 257 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: I having drinks with them where we talk on the phone. 258 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: I think we were talking on the phone a scouting 259 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: buddy of mine who knows all these programs really really 260 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: well and is very very close with a lot of 261 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: coaches in the South and especially the save in Tree, 262 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: and he said, you know, the sad thing, and this 263 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: is when it looked like Billy was going to get fired. 264 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: He's like, if you go into the floor to program 265 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: and if you talk to people around the program like 266 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: they're doing it the right way. The way the program structured, 267 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: the way they recruit, the way they run practice, the 268 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: way they the way from the top down they run 269 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: the program. It just hasn't translated to wins. But like 270 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: from a football standpoint, everyone that goes through there is impressed, 271 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: and finally down the stretch they started getting results. So yeah, 272 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: I think the hard part is sometimes with the SEC 273 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: schools is if you get a guy like Billy Napier 274 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: and his momentum doesn't snowball in a positive way, immediately 275 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: people go, how are we gonna beat because there's so 276 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: many famous coaches, like how are we gonna beat Kirby Smart, 277 00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: how are we gonna beat Lan Kiffen, How are we 278 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: ever going to be? When Sabin was there, We're not 279 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: on their level right, And then all of a sudden 280 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: he gets the ball moving in the right direction. You 281 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: just it's a hard leak. I mean, it really is. 282 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: So I'm rooting for the guy, but I don't know 283 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: who's scoring big in the NBA this season.

Uh, we've been 311 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: awful year after year, even though our division is a joke. 312 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 1: I don't see this team being good for another three years. 313 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: Can the Saints? What can the Saints do to make 314 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 1: the playoffs next year? I do think if they can 315 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: just stay healthy, they can be a competitive team. And 316 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: I actually don't know if that division's really going to 317 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: be a joke for long. You know the way the 318 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: Panthers played down the stretch like they were a real 319 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: football team. Now, are they a nine to ten win team? No, 320 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 1: they have a long way to go. Hell yeah, But 321 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: like the team that started playing when Bryce came back, 322 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: that was a real NFL team before they felt like 323 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 1: one of the biggest jokes of all time. So I 324 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 1: do think that. You know, the Falcons, I don't buy 325 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: into them, but like they got real players and they 326 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: can be competitive. I mean there's a reason they win 327 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 1: seven eight games every year, Like they're not like a 328 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: three win team and Tampa's just good. So I would 329 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: just say stay healthy, and they need Derek. You know, 330 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: Derek's had two or three really good years in his career, 331 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 1: and they can get one more out of them. Yeah, 332 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: they compete for a wildcard spot. If they can't, they'll 333 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 1: they'll suck. I got this question, and I don't think 334 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: I saved it. And sometimes things get lost in the 335 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: shuffle on Instagram. Is someone asked you know for years 336 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: and I remember this conversation happened a lot when I 337 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: was a kid, like, could the worst NFL teams of 338 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: the last twenty thirty years? Could the best college football 339 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 1: team right like USC and the peak of their powers 340 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: Miami and the peak of their powers LSU that went 341 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, whatever their record was, fifteen and er, Is 342 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: there any chance they could beat them? And the pushback 343 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: has always been no chance. They got twenty two pros 344 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: and that team does not. And I understand that argument. 345 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 1: I do think if you look at a team that 346 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: goes like one in fifteen or two and fourteen or 347 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: zero to sixteen or one in seventeen or whatever at 348 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 1: the start of the year, could that team beat them? No, 349 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: because they do have a lot of pros on the 350 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: team and they are just going to be healthier and physical. 351 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: But if you get that version of the great college 352 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: football teams that are full of I don't know, let's 353 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: say eighty percent of their roster aren't just pros, but 354 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 1: like a lot of those guys are going to be 355 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: Pro Bowlers and ten year starters. And if you look 356 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: at a team that's going to win one or two 357 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,640 Speaker 1: games past like October November, when they've had a bunch 358 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 1: of injuries and they are playing with guys you've never 359 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: heard of and guys that are not going to be 360 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 1: in the NFL long, I do think that could be 361 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: interesting and I wouldn't put it past now. The difference, too, is, 362 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: let's use twenty nineteen when you go, well, they got 363 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase, and Justin Jefferson. How like those 364 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: guys would be able to score on everybody. Yeah, well, 365 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: those guys in college, like Jamar Chase now is now 366 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: he was damn good in college, but he's dramatically better now. 367 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: Same thing with Justin Jefferson. So you're not getting like 368 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings year five Justin Jefferson right, or year five 369 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase, you're getting the twenty year old version, so 370 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: you kind of got to factor that into I don't 371 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: think people quite realize to like how much better, Like 372 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 1: Miles Garrett was the number one overall pick and he 373 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:26,360 Speaker 1: was an elite prospect, he is in a different stratosphere 374 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: in terms of how good he is at football year six, seven, 375 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: eight than he was at twenty years old. Then that 376 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 1: goes for any player. I'm feeling lost and confused as 377 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 1: a Giants fan. I feel as though we're in a 378 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: similar model to the Eagles, not overthinking it and investing 379 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: in the trenches from blue chip schools with Evan Neil 380 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 1: and Thibodeau. When we draft those guys, they turned out 381 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: to be mid but I'm sure if either fell to 382 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: the Eagles it would be another all time steal and 383 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: a genius move by Howie. How much is drafting town 384 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: on evaluation versus culture and players end up the solution 385 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: for the Giants moving forward? I'd be lying if I 386 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: can give you like a breakdown on Evan Neil, but 387 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 1: I would say the Kevon Thibodeau, like I did not 388 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: think he was some game changing prospect, that he was 389 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: pretty stiff. Uh, He's not like a bend the edge guy. 390 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: So to me, those type players tend to look more 391 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 1: like Cleveland Ferrell Solomon Thomas. Doesn't mean he can't play 392 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: in the NFL for a long time, but you draft 393 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: him in the top seven to eight picks, you're expecting TJ. 394 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 1: Watt or JJ Watt or Miles Garrett or some of 395 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: these guys. It's just you know, I know, Chase Young 396 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: got injured, but the guy he became was just like 397 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: a powerful, straight line guy. You can only do so 398 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: much when that's your style. And I think that's cave On, 399 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: Like he's talks a big game, but he's just kind 400 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: of an average player, and I don't think he has 401 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: like a great skill set to be a Pro Bowl, 402 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: all pro level impact, you know, huge money guy. And 403 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,360 Speaker 1: I think when they took him, like I would say 404 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 1: this about like let's use Saquon or Molik neighbors. Like 405 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: those guys are elite prospects, and that's who you want 406 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: to draft really high. Now we can argue about taking 407 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: a running back that high, but like Saquon was an 408 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: elite prospect. Every Giants fan knew that immediately. Like this 409 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: guy's a freak town. Same thing with Malik. You watch Kvon, 410 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: You're like, I don't know. I mean, I'm old enough 411 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: to remember when you guys used to take Jpp. Well, 412 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: Jpp was a freak. He was strong, he could bend, 413 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 1: he was huge. Like I I think sometimes you just take, 414 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: you know, you force a position. And I'm telling you, 415 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: I think you put Kavon on the ravenge on the Eagles. 416 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 1: Maybe he's a little better, but you're not getting some 417 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: all pro. So I would push back a little bit 418 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: on that. Been listener for years. My question is do 419 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: you see the greatest college quarterback of all My question 420 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: for you is who do you see the greatest college 421 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: quarterback of all time? Ass I'm not talking stats, but 422 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: more so impact, winning a championship and being borderline unstoppable. 423 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 1: I might be biased being an Auburn fan, but Cam 424 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 1: Newton will always be ranked above Tim Tebow or Joe 425 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: Burrow based on what he did with that Auburn team 426 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: that was not going anywhere. The defense was very talented, 427 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 1: but compared to who Tim Tebow was throwing the ball 428 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 1: to and the overall talent of the team, plus Urban 429 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 1: was as coach, it's obvious just debating your opinion. Yeah, 430 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: if you just say who did the most impressive thing 431 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: with the least, I mean Cam Newton dragging a team 432 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: that did not have that many pros to a national 433 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: championship in the SEC was remarkable. But I would say 434 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: this about Cam because everything that happened at Florida, like 435 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: he was a true blue Chipper, you know, urban Meyer 436 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: recruited him there, so it wasn't like he was this 437 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: little engine that could, like you know, Johnny was a 438 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: little more little engine that could and was just remarkable 439 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: in college. I mean, Cam should have been at Alabama 440 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: or Florida and you guys were able to pull him 441 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:22,360 Speaker 1: and what he did was I mean, I'll never forget 442 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: was his first or second year, probably like his third 443 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: year going to a Niner game at Candlestick and I 444 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: just like, I'm gonna go to Cam Newton's postgame press conference. 445 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: I think they just beat the Niners. This was when 446 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 1: Harbaugh was there and seeing Cam Newton in person and thinking, 447 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: this guy looks like a Lebron James. This guy is enormous. 448 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: So I think when you look at Joe Burrow, I 449 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: mean he's playing with Jamar Chase and justin Jefferson. I mean, 450 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: those two guys, let's face it, should both go to 451 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. Long way to go, a lot 452 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: of production to be had, but those two guys are 453 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame talents. And you go back like when 454 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: I was grown, Like you said, t Bow, I mean, 455 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: those Florida teams were some of the best teams of 456 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: all time in terms of just every player was going 457 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: to the pros and getting drafted high. Same thing with Lionert, right, 458 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: Lioner played because the Liner's record is hard to beat. 459 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: Even Kellen Moore, who I think is probably one of 460 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 1: the more underrated college players of all time. Look at it. 461 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,959 Speaker 1: I mean, Kellen Morre's college stats are pretty insane, like 462 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: they you know, part of with Lionert, who was an 463 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: unreal college player and really clutch. They ran the ball 464 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: a lot. I mean, they had arguably the best backfield 465 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: in all of college football. Kellen Moore his last couple 466 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: of years, well, he started as a freshman, but his 467 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 1: sophomore year thirty nine touchdowns, three picks, his junior year 468 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 1: thirty five touchdowns, six picks, his senior year forty three touchdowns, 469 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 1: nine picks. Overall, one hundred and forty two touchdowns and 470 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,679 Speaker 1: twenty eight interceptions. I think it's like a five to 471 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: one ratio there. And the one thing, obviously, their schedule 472 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: is a little easier in some of the big boys. 473 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 1: They beat everybody that they weren't supposed to beat from 474 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: Georgia to Oregon multiple times. They were upsetting people left 475 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: and right. I think Kellen Moore is an underrated name. Yeah, 476 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,199 Speaker 1: I mean cam Newton's clearly one of the greatest college 477 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,120 Speaker 1: had one of the great college seasons in the history 478 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: of the sport. Living in Zach, I work at El 479 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 1: Maserra Country Club. See hi to a man named Jeff 480 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: Middlecoff who is a little country club member up there, 481 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: plays a little golf. Have been a Cowboys fan my 482 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: whole life. When you look at the best run organizations 483 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: in the league, there is a constant thread of having 484 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 1: a great GM quarterback and owner who is not medaling. 485 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 1: Can you realistically see the Cowboys getting back to the 486 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: Super Bowl to Super Bowl contention in the next five 487 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 1: to ten years? And you guys haven't made the championship 488 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: game Super Bowl. You guys haven't made it past the 489 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:16,159 Speaker 1: second weekend of the playoffs in twenty five years. Actually 490 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,239 Speaker 1: thirty years, right, because the last time ninety six. It's 491 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Yeah, thirty years, three decades have not been 492 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: to the conference championship game. Think just let's just pick 493 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 1: your division. The Eagles have won been to two Super 494 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 1: Bowls in the last three years. The Giants seven and 495 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: eleven have won multiple Super Bowls. So those two teams 496 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: have a combined four Super Bowls since two thousand and seven. 497 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: And you guys haven't been in a conference championship game 498 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: since nineteen ninety six. Even the Commanders this year went 499 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: to the conference championship game. It's pretty nuts, it really is. 500 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: So I would say no, like I my days of 501 00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: betting on the Cowboys are over because I did pick 502 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: you guys. I listened from out in Australia. Love your stuff. 503 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: I know you love golf. What is your golf handicap? 504 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 1: I'd be shocked if it wasn't single figures. Yeah, I 505 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: mean technically on paper it's like a four right now. 506 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 1: But I've embraced golf. Of as long as I shoot 507 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: anywhere from seventy five to eighty five, I'm just having 508 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: a good time. I'm not a competitive golfer. Beside gambling 509 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: on golf with whoever I'm playing with, I just try 510 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: to enjoy it when I'm hot, make a couple of birdies, 511 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: have a good time. When I'm shooting in the mid eighties, whatever, 512 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: Just put a smile on your face, have a double vodka. 513 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: So I would say the key to my I don't 514 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: let golf work me up at all anymore. Single digit 515 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: sounds more impressive. I mean, I've been playing thirty years. 516 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 1: A question for the pot, I've been curious to know 517 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: your opinion of the state of the NBA. Personally, I 518 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: think it's the worst it's ever been due to for 519 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: many reasons. I actually, you know, talking to Colin about 520 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 1: this last week and how baseball and the NBA are 521 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: actually basically the same thing, except the NBA gets an 522 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: outsized amount of coverage on television, and a big part 523 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: of that is because ESPN's in bed with them, and 524 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: I think a lot of the guys on Fox Sports 525 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: won like basketball. Steph Curry went for fifty six points 526 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 1: last night, and I watched the highlights. He was just 527 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 1: I mean, it was just vintage Steph. I think the 528 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: NBA is in major trouble when Steph Curry and Lebron 529 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: James retire. And the problem is Lebron James is forty 530 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 1: and Steph Curry is thirty seven. So even if they 531 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: are on like a Tom Brady like run here, which 532 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: it does feel, both guys are still fucking elite that 533 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: they're not going to be around that much longer. And 534 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 1: I was talking about this with a buddy the other day. 535 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: I was actually at the gym this morning, got up early, 536 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 1: take the dog. She had to go to the groomer, 537 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: dropped her off like seven, went to the old the village, 538 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 1: got a sweat on, and I'm looking up because they 539 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: got TVs up on the wall like most gyms. You know, 540 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: A couple were on the news channels and ESPN and 541 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,239 Speaker 1: ESPN two are honored Stephen A. Smith. I look at 542 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: the you know, the ticker or like whatever the headline 543 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: is below them. It's like, could Anthony Edwards be the 544 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: face of the league. I think the casual sports fan 545 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: knows absolutely nothing about Anthony Edwards. I'm talking about a 546 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: guy that like is into sports, and the amount of 547 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: games they have seen Anthony Edwards play over the last 548 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: several years is really small. And the equivalent of Anthony Edwards, 549 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: a guy who's twenty two to twenty three years old 550 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: several years into his career, really good player. Let's use 551 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 1: when I was a kid in like the mid to 552 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: late nineties, would have been like Alan Iverson, Kobe Bryant, 553 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan. I could be wrong on this, 554 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: but in my opinion, I think those guys at the 555 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: same point in time were dramatically more famous and bigger deals. 556 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 1: So what I'm saying is that's a problem for the NBA. 557 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: Is the league as long as the Warriors and Lakers 558 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: like win some playoff rounds, the league will be okay 559 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 1: because the ratings will be pretty good, right, But if 560 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 1: those guys disappear, Like listen, I think Jolkic is one 561 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 1: of the best basketball players I've ever watched, the consumers 562 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: just not watching him, and the Celtics just don't do 563 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: that much for people, Like no one's watching the CAFs 564 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: and they're awesome. I think the NBA is in major trouble, 565 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 1: not financially. They signed this big deal and they're gonna 566 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 1: get paid. I don't know how these networks are gonna 567 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: make their money back. Now you could argue Amazon doesn't 568 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: really care, but I think that if I was Steph 569 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 1: Curry and Lebron James and the league just signed this 570 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 1: enormous deal, like I'm probably worth half of that and 571 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna be around for the majority of it, 572 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 1: that's a problem. They used to just be able to 573 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: cycle in new stars. I think part of it is 574 00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 1: the international game. Like Luca's story is really really big 575 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 1: and people have watched him play, but him not being 576 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: American is a problem. I mean part of the growth 577 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 1: of the NBA. You know, by the time I kind 578 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 1: of came into my sports watching early mid nineties, Magic Johnson, 579 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: Larry Birder were already gone, but like they were the 580 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 1: people that really drove the NBA right, and then Michael 581 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 1: Jordan took the torch and took it to even higher levels. 582 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: What do all three have in common? All American born, 583 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: American born stars. It's just not the same with jokichin Luca, 584 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: it's just not hell Nico Harrison, former agent guy Shoe Deal, 585 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 1: hated that Luca drank beer. It's like Nico, who gives 586 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 1: a fuck. Michael Jordan used to drink a twelve pack 587 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: playing golf with Jeremy Ronick and then score forty. It's 588 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: like this guy carried your ass in the NBA finals. 589 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: Like sometimes as a GM, you have this preconceived notion 590 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: of like what's right and wrong? Like this guy's European. 591 00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 1: Have you ever been to Europe? They drink like multiple 592 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: glasses of wine at lunch and then go have a nap. 593 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 1: Cultures are different. The only thing I care about is like, 594 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: on any given game, can the guy score forty and 595 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 1: beat whoever we're playing in any given moment? It's like, well, 596 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,399 Speaker 1: I like this guy because he works out harder. Give 597 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 1: me a break. But I mean, I think when your 598 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,400 Speaker 1: two best players, you could argue the three best players 599 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: in the NBA are like Jokic, Luca and Yannis. I mean, 600 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 1: it's just this isn't the EuroLeague. This American basketball, and 601 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 1: it hurts. I mean, Ethan Strauss been writing about this 602 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: for a long time, like Americans like rooting for Americans. 603 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,359 Speaker 1: I think Haylen Clark's a pretty big deal. Like she 604 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 1: feels like the most fun women's basketball player I've ever watched. 605 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 1: It would not be the same if she was from Lithuania. 606 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 1: I'll promise you that. What is the NFL got going 607 00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:00,359 Speaker 1: for you? This is an American league, like Ultimate, You're 608 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 1: running the majority of your business here in America. Can 609 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 1: I tell you about my friends at Mando that they've 610 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 1: taken care of me for a long time now. And listen, 611 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 1: it's Arizona. It gets really hot and I get very sweaty. 612 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 1: And that's where my friends at Mando they come in 613 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: with the deodorant wipes. How about the deodorant spray and uh, 614 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,360 Speaker 1: just the whole body deodorant that you just put a 615 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:25,839 Speaker 1: little bit on. You can put it under your pitch, 616 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 1: you can put on your arms, you can put it 617 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 1: on your balls.

How do you beat dead? Twelve hours 622 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,320 Speaker 1: after a shower, you're still smelling good.

Enjoy your content. 634 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,879 Speaker 1: Been listening for a couple of years, also out here 635 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,839 Speaker 1: in Arizona and wondering where the Cardinals will go from here. 636 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,240 Speaker 1: I like Kyler, and I think a lot of people 637 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 1: underrate him, but the same thing. At the same time, 638 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 1: it's frustrating how inconsistent he is, especially since the Cardinals 639 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,960 Speaker 1: have some nice offensive talent around them. Do you think 640 00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 1: this is who he is at some point? Or there's 641 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 1: still growth to be had and the roster will keep improving. 642 00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 1: You know, I saw that John and it Is press 643 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 1: conference made a comment. I just pulled it up. It 644 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 1: says I'm not gonna make any power statements, but he 645 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,439 Speaker 1: meaning Kyler, is gonna have a hell of a year. 646 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:17,320 Speaker 1: So I think there have been some some light rumors 647 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,840 Speaker 1: and maybe it's just people throwing it out there, like 648 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 1: could they trade Kyler Murray and who knows. I guess 649 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 1: he could be building up his trade value. But I 650 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 1: thought this at the end of the year last year. 651 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,120 Speaker 1: Is Kyler ever going to be a top seven eight quarterback? 652 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:33,360 Speaker 2: No? 653 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,879 Speaker 1: But what makes him pretty unique is that on individual 654 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:44,440 Speaker 1: days he can just beat Team X and that could 655 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:45,759 Speaker 1: be the best team in the league. Like he can 656 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 1: just beat the Rams, the Eagles, whoever. And that's what 657 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,080 Speaker 1: makes him a pretty frustrating player. I think at five 658 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,800 Speaker 1: nine years always gonna have limitations. He's a free talent. 659 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 1: He's got a big arm, he can move, and last 660 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,800 Speaker 1: year down the stretch when they started playing and bad, 661 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,480 Speaker 1: he started throwing picks and that can be a major problem. 662 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 1: But I think it kind of is what he is. 663 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:11,280 Speaker 1: You could have a lot worse. One of the founders 664 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:19,239 Speaker 1: of the Yellowstone Club is developing a private resort in Utah, Wasatch. 665 00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,960 Speaker 1: I'm probably saying that wrong. Peaks Ranch checking out more exclusive. 666 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 1: I think he's alluding to Yellowstone Club is where Matt 667 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:32,879 Speaker 1: Stafford and Tom Brady were were kicking it. I would 668 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 1: love to go I really, I'm not a huge winter 669 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 1: ski slope guy. So it's like, yeah, they got their 670 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,440 Speaker 1: own mountain. It sounds cool, but I was like, I'm 671 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,359 Speaker 1: not into tearing my cl or running new a rock. 672 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,280 Speaker 1: I had a buddy who's actually coming to my wedding. 673 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 1: His I guess it would be his nephew was skiing 674 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 1: up in Tahoe and he's probably, I don't know, ten 675 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 1: eleven years old. This kid's gonna be big. I mean 676 00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:00,359 Speaker 1: his dad was a college wrestler at Cal Paul right 677 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,240 Speaker 1: after Chuck Ladell. I mean, this guy's a this kid's 678 00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:04,960 Speaker 1: got a chance to be like a Division one athlete 679 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 1: ran into a boulder and shattered his leg. It's like, 680 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,800 Speaker 1: I'm just not in Like I'm not a skier anymore. 681 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 1: And I loved it growing up, but those days are over. 682 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:15,960 Speaker 1: I can't. I don't want to be in crutches. I 683 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:20,919 Speaker 1: don't want to break legs, try acls. I I don't 684 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,759 Speaker 1: know why I'm saying that. Oh, it's because I really 685 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,960 Speaker 1: just want to play golf with the Yellowstone Club. Sounds 686 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 1: incredible from what I've heard. It's a million dollars to 687 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 1: join the Yellowstone Club, which is the most expensive of 688 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:39,879 Speaker 1: all the Discovery Land properties, which are basically anything goes 689 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:43,720 Speaker 1: with these properties, right, Like there's no dress code to golf. 690 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 1: You can just do whatever you want. It's very your 691 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:50,440 Speaker 1: entire families under your vertical when you join. But it's 692 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,799 Speaker 1: really expensive. And you know, the Yellowstone Club is the 693 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,239 Speaker 1: most exclusive. A ton of actors, ton of actresses, got 694 00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,680 Speaker 1: people like Brady, And there's one in you know, Palm 695 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 1: Springs called the Madison Club. There's Troubadour in Tennessee which 696 00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: I've been to, which is badass. Saw Morgan wall there 697 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,880 Speaker 1: actually when I went question for the pod. Given the 698 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,280 Speaker 1: success the Rams have had in McVeigh and the sneaed 699 00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 1: era with later round draft picks, wouldn't it make more 700 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,400 Speaker 1: sense for the Rams to get multiple late round picks 701 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,239 Speaker 1: for Stafford if they trade them instead of just the 702 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:33,439 Speaker 1: first thanks. I think it's easy to say this when 703 00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 1: you have missed or just had a lot of success 704 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,359 Speaker 1: in the later rounds, you would rather let's say you've 705 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 1: crushed the third and fourth round. Would you rather have 706 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:49,279 Speaker 1: two threes and two fours or just the eighteenth pick? 707 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 1: You know, obviously I have to do the math, but 708 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,799 Speaker 1: let's say the math for the first round pick the 709 00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,920 Speaker 1: fourteenth pick than all the third and fourth round picks. 710 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,439 Speaker 1: You would always rather have the first round pick always, 711 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,480 Speaker 1: so I know. The forty nine ers are a good example. 712 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,480 Speaker 1: They have missed, they have struggled high, and they have 713 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,680 Speaker 1: crushed the mid rounds. You would still take the high 714 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:15,840 Speaker 1: picks because when you do hit on that, it is 715 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:20,359 Speaker 1: a game changer. Plus, sometimes you can parlay that pick 716 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,840 Speaker 1: into more, Like if I can go from ten to 717 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:26,480 Speaker 1: twenty and accumulate more second round picks, like the ultimate 718 00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,839 Speaker 1: value is worth more. You almost just have to look 719 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:32,160 Speaker 1: at it from a financial standpoint. It's like, yeah, I 720 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,839 Speaker 1: could turn five hundred grand, I could find a ten 721 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,200 Speaker 1: bagger and turn it into five million, But would you 722 00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,399 Speaker 1: rather just have five million dollars right now and see 723 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:43,319 Speaker 1: if you could turn that into ten? Just want to 724 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,799 Speaker 1: reaffirm that one of your takes is so valid. The 725 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,440 Speaker 1: stafford take a pay cut to stay in LA. I 726 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,680 Speaker 1: don't like when people say, oh, it's easy for you 727 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,239 Speaker 1: to take a pay cut. Riddle me this. Would you 728 00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,720 Speaker 1: work at the volume and get paid five hundred thousand 729 00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 1: dollars to be Collins point man for everything? NFL in 730 00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,399 Speaker 1: a great way environment you love. Would you take one 731 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,600 Speaker 1: million to go to some radio station where you have 732 00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:09,200 Speaker 1: less exposure and there's a bad culture. The former is 733 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,880 Speaker 1: La McVeigh and the latter is the Giants. Money's tempting, 734 00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 1: and I wouldn't knock you for it, but it's probably 735 00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 1: the smart move for the future to stay with the 736 00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:22,800 Speaker 1: rams and take a cut. I think it's even different 737 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:27,120 Speaker 1: because let's say someone offers me a million dollars right 738 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:32,319 Speaker 1: to let's use your example to do a radio station. 739 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,279 Speaker 1: Do I have to move there? Do then? Like now 740 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,480 Speaker 1: I three and out. I have ownership in everything I do. 741 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,320 Speaker 1: Do I not own it anymore? So there are a 742 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,480 Speaker 1: lot of factors there, But here's the most the factor 743 00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,719 Speaker 1: of the money. Where you you know, when you're at 744 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:50,400 Speaker 1: a lower net worth cash flow basis, it's like I 745 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,239 Speaker 1: hear what you're saying. But let's say let's say in 746 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,440 Speaker 1: this world, I'm worth a million dollars, and it's like, 747 00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 1: we're going to pay you a million dollars. So it's like, 748 00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,640 Speaker 1: and we're gonna guarantee a couple of years, so in 749 00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:05,200 Speaker 1: two years you will potentially, you know, depending on taxes 750 00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:07,359 Speaker 1: and how the we ten ninety nine ing at W 751 00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 1: two ing it how it would work. Let's just say 752 00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,640 Speaker 1: in this example, I'm gonna double my net worth. Unlet's 753 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,520 Speaker 1: they have a couple kids. It would be you'd have 754 00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 1: to think long and hard about it. Stafford after this 755 00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:21,359 Speaker 1: season will have accumulated over four hundred million dollars. So 756 00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:25,400 Speaker 1: like money to Stafford. I hate I hate saying it 757 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,560 Speaker 1: doesn't matter because who knows. Maybe he aspires to be 758 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,960 Speaker 1: an NFL owner. You know, it's like he's playing in 759 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,960 Speaker 1: a different end of the pool than myself or the 760 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:40,280 Speaker 1: person in this analogy. But like his life, whether he 761 00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 1: makes that other forty million dollars to go to the 762 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,480 Speaker 1: Giants or the Raiders, and then if he loses and 763 00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,880 Speaker 1: his career ends there, he'll have some more money, but 764 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:54,000 Speaker 1: it doesn't really change his life right where I think 765 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,920 Speaker 1: when you use an example of like lower numbers, if 766 00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 1: it's a one hundred grand, five hundred grand, a million dollars. 767 00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,840 Speaker 1: If I was worth one hundred million dollars, let's say 768 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,680 Speaker 1: let's even pull that number way down. Let's say I'm 769 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,640 Speaker 1: worth ten million dollars. I have like ten million dollars 770 00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,640 Speaker 1: in the bank working for me, investments and stuff own 771 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:15,560 Speaker 1: a house, don't even have a payment already paid off. 772 00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:20,960 Speaker 1: I can make decisions with my career much differently than 773 00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:24,400 Speaker 1: if I didn't have any money in the bank and 774 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,360 Speaker 1: I have two kids, and I have to think about 775 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,440 Speaker 1: like a bunch of other things, right paying the mortgage, 776 00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:35,520 Speaker 1: supporting my family. Let's say my wife's not working because 777 00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:37,839 Speaker 1: she can't find a good job, like how we pay, 778 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,360 Speaker 1: you know, for her to support the kid, like it 779 00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:45,200 Speaker 1: I have to support her. In this analogy, Stafford doesn't 780 00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:47,839 Speaker 1: have to worry about any of that shit, right, So 781 00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,360 Speaker 1: to me, if you're Matt Stafford at thirty seven years old, 782 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,200 Speaker 1: unless you're completely addicted to money, and don't get me, 783 00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,400 Speaker 1: I love money. Most people listening to this probably love money. 784 00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:57,960 Speaker 1: But at that point in time, when you have all 785 00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:02,320 Speaker 1: this fucking money Bert the Yellowstone Club, you got multiple homes, 786 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:06,360 Speaker 1: you've hit the lottery. Now not because like that's probably 787 00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,120 Speaker 1: a bad thing to say, because he earned it. He 788 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:11,960 Speaker 1: was a great player, big time talent, super Bowl champion, 789 00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,279 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl level guys. He didn't hit the lottery like 790 00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,600 Speaker 1: he's He's worked his ass off to become a great player, 791 00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:18,239 Speaker 1: and he deserved a lot of money off of course, 792 00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,200 Speaker 1: of his career, he's been paid that, but at this 793 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:21,640 Speaker 1: point in time, like you only got a year or 794 00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:23,680 Speaker 1: two left, Like you want that last year to be 795 00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:27,440 Speaker 1: with the fucking Giants winning seven games best case scenario, 796 00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,879 Speaker 1: or do you want to who knows what if you're 797 00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:33,120 Speaker 1: like the two seed with the rams. So yeah, I 798 00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:38,240 Speaker 1: think the analogy with me or whoever, when you don't 799 00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,359 Speaker 1: have like as much to fall back. He's thirty seven 800 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,840 Speaker 1: years old and he's got one hundred million dollars in 801 00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:46,480 Speaker 1: the bank, which I'm sure he's got some smart investments, 802 00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:48,680 Speaker 1: Like who knows, I mean, he could have way more 803 00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,719 Speaker 1: than that. So I think part of Stafford is like 804 00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,759 Speaker 1: you better be very careful. It's like all the money 805 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:56,759 Speaker 1: in the world, like you are an athlete, Like that's 806 00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,640 Speaker 1: this is what people discuss for then till you're buried 807 00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,319 Speaker 1: about your life, right about your career, like as a 808 00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:06,799 Speaker 1: father and all that stuff is more important. But like 809 00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:08,799 Speaker 1: it's kind of look at Kevin Durant's career the last 810 00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,440 Speaker 1: five or six years, kind of sad, it's kind of irrelevant, 811 00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,759 Speaker 1: kind of does not matter, And you never want to 812 00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,960 Speaker 1: end in irrelevancy when you've got a chance to be 813 00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:21,560 Speaker 1: pretty legendary. And I would say Stafford and maybe doesn't 814 00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,800 Speaker 1: care about this, has become pretty legendary, Like the transition 815 00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,160 Speaker 1: he had with the Rams, won a Super Bowl and 816 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:28,920 Speaker 1: has helped them create one of the best teams in 817 00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:33,840 Speaker 1: the NFL, and he's gotten really rich doing it. I 818 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,239 Speaker 1: commend the Rams for doing this, Like, listen, Matt, we 819 00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:40,640 Speaker 1: love you. I got no problem going on podcasts and 820 00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:45,480 Speaker 1: saying waxing poetic about what you mean to us, your value, 821 00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,600 Speaker 1: how we can't even quantify it. But this is a 822 00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:51,399 Speaker 1: business and we can't pay you two years one hundred 823 00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:54,080 Speaker 1: million dollars. It's not gonna happen. Not because we don't 824 00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:57,640 Speaker 1: think you're worth that we do, but the way we're 825 00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:00,440 Speaker 1: building this team with our cap like, we can't pay that, 826 00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:05,759 Speaker 1: and we're not gonna pay that. So I commend the 827 00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:08,359 Speaker 1: Rams like that takes balls, you know what. That's how 828 00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:10,320 Speaker 1: you run a good business, and that's how you sustain 829 00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,120 Speaker 1: a good business. Because if all of a sudden this 830 00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:14,799 Speaker 1: year Stafford looks old and you've given them two years 831 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,200 Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars kind of stuck. The Rams like, yeah, 832 00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,680 Speaker 1: we're not getting stuck. And I think most teams get 833 00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,160 Speaker 1: so emotional. I mean I saw with the forty nine 834 00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:28,360 Speaker 1: ers with the IU situation like that was stupid. Should 835 00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:30,200 Speaker 1: have traded him before the draft, and if they could 836 00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:33,520 Speaker 1: do it over again, they would have. And hell, Stafford 837 00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,160 Speaker 1: won them Super Bowl and the Rams aren't even that emotional. Hell, 838 00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,640 Speaker 1: he just went He almost beat the Eagles on the 839 00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:42,000 Speaker 1: road in the cold. How you run a good business? 840 00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:45,799 Speaker 1: The best teams in NFL history have been kind of 841 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:50,359 Speaker 1: cut throat. Look at the Chiefs. They traded Tyreek Hill 842 00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,120 Speaker 1: and for three straight years they went to the Super Bowl. 843 00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,239 Speaker 1: It's like who their wide receivers? Has it mattered? Two 844 00:47:55,280 --> 00:48:01,239 Speaker 1: super Bowls three years went to another one. That's pretty good, Belichick, 845 00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,680 Speaker 1: zero E motion. I'm listening to your podcast. You're talking 846 00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:07,960 Speaker 1: about the Browns getting a haul for Miles and having 847 00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,279 Speaker 1: the second overall pick. As a Seahawks fan, I had 848 00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,960 Speaker 1: a massive trade idea. DK has been rumored to be 849 00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:16,839 Speaker 1: available and Rashad Jenkins has been given permission to seek 850 00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,879 Speaker 1: a trade. Could a trade between Seattle and Cleveland work? 851 00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:24,920 Speaker 1: Seattle gets Garrett and a second round pick, Cleveland gets Dk, 852 00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:31,239 Speaker 1: Jenkins GINO pick eighteen fifty and a first in a 853 00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:36,359 Speaker 1: second round in twenty six and twenty seven, Seattle has 854 00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:40,759 Speaker 1: a chance at cam Ward or Carter. Oh and the 855 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,719 Speaker 1: second and the second pick, Seattle gets a chance at 856 00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:47,400 Speaker 1: cam Ward or Carter. Brown's get a bridge quarterback, a 857 00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:50,360 Speaker 1: safety playing at a high level in multiple picks, plus 858 00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:53,759 Speaker 1: a huge addition to the wide receiver room. There's a 859 00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:57,520 Speaker 1: lot going on in this trade. So you get Miles 860 00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:01,600 Speaker 1: Garrett in the second overall pick, and they get Geno Smith. 861 00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:06,279 Speaker 1: The problem with the Geno Smith thing is Gino wants 862 00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:10,080 Speaker 1: a lot of money. So Gino wants a contract extension, 863 00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:13,759 Speaker 1: and the Browns have They owe Watson ninety million dollars. 864 00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:17,160 Speaker 1: So I don't think you've got a lot of moving 865 00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,360 Speaker 1: parts here and a lot of picks and first rounders 866 00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:24,000 Speaker 1: and second rounders exchanging hands. I do think the problem 867 00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:27,000 Speaker 1: for this is I don't think Cleveland would be in 868 00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:30,719 Speaker 1: the Geno Smith business because they couldn't give him like 869 00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,959 Speaker 1: an eighty million dollar contract extension. You know, like three 870 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,880 Speaker 1: years he's making twenty five million. Now, let's say you 871 00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:38,719 Speaker 1: give him thirty five million, three years, one hundred and 872 00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:42,080 Speaker 1: fifteen million dollars and guarantee eighty or ninety. Then you'd 873 00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:46,279 Speaker 1: have Deshaun and Gino making a combined you know, you'd 874 00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,680 Speaker 1: owe them guaranteed money one hundred and fifty hundred and 875 00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:50,920 Speaker 1: seventy million dollars. I don't think you can do that. 876 00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:56,279 Speaker 1: I don't think I hear what you're saying. And this 877 00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,640 Speaker 1: is pretty intriguing. This is kind of an NBA ish, 878 00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:03,120 Speaker 1: but I think the geno thing ends that. I think 879 00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,359 Speaker 1: if you're Cleveland, you're in the business of drafting one 880 00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:10,400 Speaker 1: of those quarterbacks number two overall, and you trade Miles 881 00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:12,320 Speaker 1: to get a bunch more picks to then build around 882 00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,600 Speaker 1: him and kind of make this transition. Nick Chubb free 883 00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,799 Speaker 1: agent probably gone, Miles Garrett gone, and you kind of 884 00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:22,040 Speaker 1: transition out of this, which you know, tough predicament to 885 00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:25,799 Speaker 1: be in, but kind of is what it is. I 886 00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:27,840 Speaker 1: think that'll that's our last question for the day. Hopefully 887 00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,680 Speaker 1: everyone has a good weekend. We will, we'll talk soon 888 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:34,200 Speaker 1: and have a good time doing whatever you're doing. Peace 889 00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:38,520 Speaker 1: the volume
