As I record this fresh 3 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: off the Houston Texans beat down of Tennessee. Texas are 4 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: rolling eight straight wins. Uh, hottest team in football beside 5 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints. We'll dive into something I saw 6 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: that I think it's really stood out for the last 7 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 1: two months. A lot going on since the last time 8 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: I talked to you on Friday with a little Tiger 9 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: Phil action on Friday. Friday nights games were awesome, the 10 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: Apple Cup, Oklahoma West Virginia, Saturday, Urban Meyer Hardball, college 11 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 1: football playoffs. We'll dive into that a little later. Baker Mayfield, 12 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey, Aaron Rodgers. I think I've noticed something going 13 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: on with Aaron Rodgers that I think is a big 14 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: reason for his struggles. Uh, that you don't really hear 15 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: anyone talking about Ruben Foster. God. This this was an 16 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: incredible weekend of content for the Three and Out Podcast. 17 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I I got a lot of takes, a 18 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: lot of thoughts on what's going on, uh, and I'm 19 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: excited to dive into it. But first, you know, I 20 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: think for those that have been listening to podcasts for 21 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: a while, know that I look at football a little 22 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: differently than your average media member is just very pro player. 23 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: It's just a very Twitter's very pro player. The players 24 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: always right. Uh, you know. I've worked on the other side. 25 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: I tend to be more pro management. I'm just more 26 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: pro smart business when it comes to sports, especially when 27 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: it comes to football, and you have to be this 28 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: isn't baseball. There is a salary cap building your team. 29 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: You can't just pay everyone like give Levy on his money. 30 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: Pay Earl Thomas like, no, you just you don't have 31 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: an unlimited cap. This isn't you know, even in DraftKings, 32 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: when you build your team, you only get you know, 33 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: so much money. So I look at players much more 34 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: like stocks. Are they Are they trending up or down? 35 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: Because there's nothing there. There's a famous saying in the NFL. 36 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: The first time I heard it, and I know a 37 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: lot of coaches use this. You're either getting better or 38 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: you're getting worse. No one stays the same, And I 39 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: think that's true in any walk of life. You're either 40 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: growing or you're dying. Now, as humans were, every day 41 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: we get older, we're closer to dying. But anyone knows 42 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 1: in business you always have to be growing. In football, 43 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: you you know, in sports in general, in any business, 44 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: I mean, in any occupation, you always if you're an 45 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: aspirational person, if you have my standards, if you want 46 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: to be the best in your field, you always have 47 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: to look to grow. And the thing about sports, you know, 48 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: as a player, one thing with a coach, you can 49 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,399 Speaker 1: coach for a while. One thing with a general manager 50 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 1: you can be in a position of power for a while. 51 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: As a player, you only peak for so long. Your 52 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: physical gifts, as they all say, Father Time is undefeated. 53 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 1: The other thing, for the most part that is undefeated 54 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 1: are a lot of injuries. Like you can come back 55 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: from a major knee injury. Now you come back from 56 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: a major shoulder injury. I mean fifteen years ago people 57 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: thought Drew Brees was done. I guess it wasn't that 58 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 1: long ago because of his shoulder. Like, you can recover 59 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: from injuries, but if you have two, three, four major injuries, 60 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 1: John Middlecoff me, you know, I don't care what your 61 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: name is, Michael Jordan's Tiger Woods J J. Watt, I'd 62 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: short you as a player, meaning I would trade you 63 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,119 Speaker 1: I would bet against you. I would think you will 64 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: no longer be very good. Like I'm shocked Tiger Woods 65 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: came back when his back gave out and he had 66 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: to have it fuse and his knee blow out like 67 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. I bet against him. I 68 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: said he's done. He obviously proved me wrong. Modern medicine 69 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: is pretty incredible. J J. Watt. I thought there was 70 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: no way. First off, I was advocating thinking about trading 71 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: him when you factored in his contract was enormous. He 72 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: and just have one injury his growing you know, he 73 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: heard it as several years ago, and then his back, uh, 74 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: and he had helped he had just so many major injuries. 75 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: I thought, there's a zero chance you're carrying this huge salary. 76 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: He's one of the greatest, and I don't this is 77 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: not hyperbole. He's one of the greatest defensive lineman ever. 78 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,799 Speaker 1: If he didn't play a snap this season, I already 79 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: thought he was a lock Hall of Famer. I've seen 80 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: him play live multiple times in his peak. It doesn't 81 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: get any better than that. It made you know, me 82 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 1: and Joe Green, Reggie White like there are a few, 83 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: but you can count maybe on one hand, true defensive 84 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: lineman in the peak of their powers, you'd rather have 85 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: than J. J. Watt. And I was wrong. You know, 86 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: you don't always like when you trade players when you 87 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: short of stock, sometimes it doesn't work, you know. And 88 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: I would have shorted J. J. Watt. I surely thought 89 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,559 Speaker 1: he was not only shot physically. You know, he's getting 90 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 1: up there in age and again injuries. You can come 91 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: back from one major injury. Hell, you come back from 92 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: two and your injuries, but it's hard. And the one 93 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: thing that was clear about J. J. Watt And you know, 94 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: a little corny sometimes, but you couldn't dispute the dude 95 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: was a hard ass worker and just a certified stone 96 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: cold badass. But like if your body gives out, your 97 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: body gives out, you know as you get older, Like 98 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: he was unblockable at one point in time, like he 99 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: struggled to play the last couple of years. You could 100 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: just tell, like his twitchiness is power. The injuries took 101 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: its toll. He's come back with a freaking vengeance. Uh. 102 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: You know, I don't think he often gets talked about 103 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: on this level and in the same sentences as Khalil 104 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: Mcin Aaron Donald, But He's been every bit as good. 105 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: Him and Clowney at least in the Monday night game. 106 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: The night and a couple of times I've watched them 107 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: in the last month have dominated. Those two guys are 108 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: so damn good. And I keep hearing like, are they 109 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: gonna resign Clowney? Yeah, They're either gonna break him off 110 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: or franchise them. People are like, well, how are they 111 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 1: gonna afford that? Like, don't let Jon Gruden fool you. 112 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 1: The cap is gonna be a hundred ninety million dollars. 113 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson does not make much money, he is saying, 114 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 1: and j J wat like, this team is not going 115 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: to be an easy out in the playoffs. I always 116 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: said this also about Bill O'Brien. Everyone's like, oh, he's 117 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: just an idiot. Yeah, you know, total idiot. You know 118 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,239 Speaker 1: Belichick Brady loved him. Then goes to the Penn State 119 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 1: after the Sandusky you know deal, wins eight games with 120 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 1: Matt mcgloyn as his quarterback. Then comes to the Houston Texans, 121 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: makes the playoffs with no quarterback. Yeah, village idiot, what 122 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: a moron, what a crappy coach? Does anything get thrown around? 123 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: Quicker like when guys are clearly pretty good, that guy 124 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: can't coach. He can't. You know what Bill O'Brien has 125 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: done when everywhere he's gone. Uh, and listen, I think 126 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: the Texans are rolling. The a f C gets more 127 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: interesting by the day because clearly Kansas City's offenses elite 128 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: New England. I mean, it's Brady and Belichick Pittsburgh. They 129 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: lose weird games, but I wouldn't want to be playing 130 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: Ben and Antonio Brown and those guys in a big game. 131 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: The Texans J. J. Watt if clowney. These guys have 132 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: one playoff games easily the best quarterback they've ever had. 133 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers is rolling. Uh. The six playoff team in 134 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: the a f C s probably be like the Ravens. 135 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: I'd love to play Lamar Jackson. I would sign up 136 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: to play Lamar Jackson. Actually, But the top five teams 137 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: are gonna be really good. All have proven track records, 138 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: all have one at a high level. All you know, 139 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: a lot of those teams are Several of them have 140 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: experienced quarterbacks. You factor into Shaun Watson, who's pretty special, 141 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: Damarius Thomas looks good, DeAndre Hopkins is awesome, and again J. J. 142 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: Watt hat tip for me because I probably, like most 143 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: people that aren't crazy fanboys and just see a Oh 144 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: my god, that's a famous player. He's got to be 145 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: really good. I would have said he's never gonna be 146 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: good again, and not good like he's not like he's 147 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: gonna be out of the NFL, but never be the J. J. 148 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: Watt that we, you know, came accustomed to knowing the 149 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: guy that wins Defensive Player of the Year. I think 150 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: he's won it three times. Hell, he's maybe win it four. 151 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: I have to WICKI him. I mean, he he's you know, 152 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: he Hell, he might win it this year. Like he's 153 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: been awesome. And you know, sometimes in this business you're wrong. 154 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: You know. It makes sound cliche and you can google 155 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: a million quotes on it about habits in life, about 156 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: little details in life and how they add up over 157 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,839 Speaker 1: time and they bleed into everything you do. Uh, and 158 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: you can google a million quotes about it. But the 159 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,959 Speaker 1: older I've gotten, the more I've realized from the people 160 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: I've been around professionally, uh, even personally from college that 161 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: have gone on to have been much more successful than 162 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: than I am. Uh at this point in time in life, 163 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: looking back, the people that I've been around, from the 164 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: NFL to just gone to school with that are doing 165 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: high level things, from Andy Reid to buddies in the 166 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: private sector in business, like, most of their habits are 167 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: pretty good. They do the basic things really well and 168 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: then their talents doing extraordinary things, whether it's you know, 169 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: coach read being able to scheme up plays, you know, 170 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: whether it's a friend being able to just I have 171 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: friends that have created tech companies. They're just smart. They're brilliant, 172 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: Like they just have the god given talents to do 173 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 1: things that other people don't. But for the most part, 174 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: they do a lot of other little things really well. 175 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: Whether they're detail oriented, whether they're very organized, whether they're 176 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: just natural kind of leaders, uh whatever. And as a 177 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: player in football, like your fundamentals and you hear coaches 178 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 1: talk about it all the time, and again it sounds 179 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: very cliche like focus on the fundamentals. When Steve Kerr 180 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: was hired with the Warriors, they had been to the 181 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: playoffs back to back years. They had the Splash Brothers 182 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: and it wasn't he wasn't quite Steph Curry yet, but 183 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: he was an All Star. The first day of practice 184 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: they did, like basic passing drills. He just wanted to instill, 185 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: like guys, he just you gotta know when to make 186 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: the right pass, you know. And I think I remember 187 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: reading Andrea Guadala and it's well known around the Bay area, 188 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: was like, what are we doing? This is like high 189 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: school basketball. If you ever heard Peyton Manning or Tom 190 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: Brady or Drew Brees talk about how seriously they take 191 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: individual drills in practice, like coach ry like Jon Gruden. 192 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 1: Now this may be a little bit of a waste 193 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: of time, but this is the way he learns, Like 194 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 1: he draws up and he did this at least when 195 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: he was successful. I think he still does it. But 196 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: you know, it's a hard example because he's not winning. 197 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: Like he would draw the scout team cards just because 198 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: that's how he remembered it. Most coaches would have, like 199 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,959 Speaker 1: a quality control guy do it. But again, like that 200 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: was something little to him. It was just a habit 201 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 1: that he developed that helped him become a better coach, 202 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: and any any quarterback worth his salt if you went 203 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 1: to practice. I've never seen Tom Brady practice, but I've 204 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: had friends that have had joint practice with him on 205 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: other teams and just said it's incredible to watch how 206 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: seriously he takes every drill. And then when you watch 207 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: him on Sunday and Peyton was like this, Drew Brees 208 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: is like this, Rivers is like this, Like their fundamentals 209 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: are so good. Their feet in the pocket, they're just 210 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: basic there they're carrying out play action fakes. They take 211 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: that ship really seriously. Like when I watch because especially 212 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: Rivers Peyton, they've never had great God given talents. Their 213 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: arm wasn't good enough to throw off the back foot, 214 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: so they could never get away with it in the 215 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: first place. Like we all know a super skinny guy. 216 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: They can eat whatever he wants to stay skinny. Like me, 217 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: I've had to change my diet dramatically, like the last 218 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: five years, always a dirty eater. Well what happened? My 219 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: metabolism slowed down, especially the last couple of years. And 220 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: as I keep talking to people that are older than me, 221 00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,719 Speaker 1: and they're like, wait till you're late dirties, wait till 222 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: you early forties, like you got to adapt and Aaron Rodgers. 223 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: But if you build good habits at a young age, 224 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: it's not as hard, you know, but it's I mean 225 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: it's hard to eat salads. It's not always that fun. 226 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: But if I don't want to be thirty pounds overweight, 227 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 1: I gotta mix in some salads. Like if you want 228 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: to play into your late thirties into your hell early forties, 229 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,599 Speaker 1: you gotta have really good fundamentals. Tom Brady's fundamentals and 230 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: individual work are pristine. Like Aaron Rodgers has always had 231 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: terrible fundamentals, but he's been a freak talent and he's 232 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: been able to overcome it. Why because he's had this 233 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: elite arm that he could make these throws off his 234 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: back foot and everyone's like, oh my god, it's one 235 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: of the greatest players, most talented players we ever saw. Well, 236 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: you know what the problem is now, Like I don't 237 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: know if his arms quite as good. I don't know 238 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 1: if his passes are quite as crisp. What has stayed 239 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: the same his terrible fundamentals. He never throws steps into 240 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 1: a throw. He's always throwing off his back foot. And 241 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: now instead of hitting dudes and strive it may be 242 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: a little bit behind a guy, and if the dB 243 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: is semi competent, he just puts his hand up. Well, 244 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: if you watch Drew Brees, if you watch Tom Brady, 245 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 1: if you watch Philip Rivers, those guys never don't step 246 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: into a throw. Young guys Mahomes, Jimmy Garoppolo before he 247 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: got hurt, Deshaun Watson, Tonight Mary Old are these guys 248 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: if their fundamentals aren't that great whatever, they're in their 249 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: mid twenties, they can get away with it forever. Aaron 250 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: Rodgers already always been able to get away with it. Well, 251 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: it's starting to catch up with him. And I'm watching 252 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: him now like he's had a good year and he 253 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: still makes elite throws, but he's no longer an elite quarterback. 254 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: And here's the problem in a capped league, when you 255 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 1: cannot have an unlimited salary. In any other business, if 256 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: you make a bad acquisition at a huge number, you 257 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: can overcome that because you can always buy other stuff. 258 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: In baseball, if I miss on a player and overspend 259 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 1: on a hundred and fifty million dollar player, well, if 260 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 1: I'm the Yankee, is the Giants the Dodgers the next year? 261 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: If he sucks us, buy another one. In football, if 262 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 1: you make an enormous investment in a player and he 263 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: is not by a country mile the best player at 264 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: his position or one of them, you're in trouble. And 265 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: when it comes to a quarterback, when you invest as 266 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: much money as the Green Bay Packers paid him, and 267 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: as they've consistently paid him forever, he was well worth it. 268 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: Why because he was the best player or top two 269 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: player in the NFL at his position, which is by 270 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: far the most important position. It matters because in a 271 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: salary cap league, there's a pie and you allocate. Every 272 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: player takes a piece of that pie. And when you 273 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: pay a guy thirty thirty five million dollars and the 274 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: salary caps a hundred seventy million, and the next highest 275 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: paid player in your team makes like fourteen, that's a 276 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: huge percentage of your salary cap. So when they allocated 277 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: as much cash as the Packers paid him, which he deserved, 278 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: he has to be an elite player. If he is 279 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: not an elite player, it ain't more of it. And 280 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: right now he's not worth the money they paid him. 281 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: I think I remember chapter he was getting eighty million 282 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: dollars over this first six months, which again I got 283 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: no problem paying Air and Rodgers eighty million dollars or whatever. 284 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: The way, you gotta structure of the cap, but he 285 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: has to be in All Pro. If he's not, we're 286 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: in trouble. And he hasn't been, and the Packers are 287 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: in trouble. And it gets back to when I watched 288 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: him play this year. His fundamentals are ship, They're terrible. 289 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: And I'm no quarterback coach, but I know as players age, 290 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: when they're fundamentals are not good and they're basic. Other 291 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: attributes just diminished because again, as you get older, they diminish. 292 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: Like I said, as I'm getting older, my metabol and slows. 293 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: My I don't feel like my brain is quite as 294 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: smart as it was like ten years ago. It's just natural. 295 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: You know. I've definitely aches and pains and I never 296 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: even played in the NFL. So can you imagine a 297 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: thirty five year old that's been injured a bunch that 298 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: now has bad footwork? Like Aaron, you better when they 299 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: do get this new coachs this offseason, he better. How 300 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: have a long look in the mirror and go Aaron, 301 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: if you want to be like Drew Brees, if you 302 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: want to be like Philip Rivers, hell, if you want 303 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: to be like Tom Brady, who a lot of people 304 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: have said, You've been the better quarterback for the last 305 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: five years, which it's kind of crazy when you look back, 306 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: which does have some validity, but it doesn't quite feel 307 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: right anymore. Which it's like, Aaron bro your thirty five, 308 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: like you gotta pick your you gotta pick it up. Bro, 309 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: this ain't good. You're getting paid way too much money 310 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: to not be elite. And he ain't elite. He wasn't 311 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: even the best quarterback on the field last night, like 312 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, paying a six million dollars, I need that 313 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: they went forward on a big fourth down at the 314 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: end of the or third down on the end of 315 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: the game to ice it. And everyone's like, what are 316 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: they doing? Just run the ball. If you pay a 317 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: guy thirty million dollars a year and I can't trust 318 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: him on a big third down, we got a problem. 319 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: Now you can trust Aaron Rodgers right now. I don't 320 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: trust that Aaron Rodgers are gonna make the play. Why 321 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: because it'll probably back foot it, skip it. He's just 322 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: And again people be like, well he's always freelance. Well 323 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: it's not good enough anymore. It's not we're paying him 324 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: too much money. He's not playing well enough. And it's 325 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: not like it's gonna change this year. I was just 326 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving with my mom and my brother. We had two dogs. 327 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 1: One of the dogs Bailey, both labs, one of them seven, 328 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: the other ones almost a year. The little one is very, 329 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: very influential. You can teach her stuff. She's learning like 330 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: it's easy to teach. She just got back from training 331 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 1: because my brother hunts. She's pretty on the ball. Callie, 332 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: the older one has been acting the same now for 333 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 1: like five straight years. There are certain things she ain't changing. 334 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,199 Speaker 1: Old dogs can't teach him new tricks. It's gonna be. 335 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: That's my one big red flag because I got Someone 336 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: tweeted me last night. You know what, Bruce Arians should 337 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: take the package up. If you think that Aaron Rodgers 338 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: wants to deal with Bruce Arians, who lights up any player. 339 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,360 Speaker 1: He's old school, he doesn't give a ship who you are. 340 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: He would be in Arran's ass every day, and it 341 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 1: honestly would be the healthiest thing for him. It would 342 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 1: make him on comfortable, it would make him better. I 343 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 1: don't know if Aaron wants it. I don't think he 344 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: wants any part of that. Old dogs don't change, man, 345 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,439 Speaker 1: and I that would be the scariest thing. If I'm 346 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: a Packer fan again, Aaron Rodgers a first ballot Hall 347 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,919 Speaker 1: of Famer. It's one of the greatest players at his 348 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 1: position ever. But I would you know, like I said 349 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 1: about j J now again, if he if he dives 350 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 1: back into his fundamentals and his feet just his I'm 351 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,439 Speaker 1: we're talking the most basic elements of the position, Like 352 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 1: do you step into a throw? And I'm not talking 353 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: about one where you don't have any room to step 354 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: in and there's a defensive lineman falling in your feet. 355 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: I'm talking about when the pockets not muddied and Davante 356 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 1: Adams wide freaking open. Can you just step into a throw? 357 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 1: Or do you always have to look too cool for 358 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: school and step off your back foot? Because I'll tell 359 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 1: you one thing. If you miss that throat, Bruce Area 360 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: is your head coach. He's lighting you up like a 361 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 1: Christmas tree. Mike McCarthy ain't saying craft, and even if 362 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: he did, Aaron clearly ain't listening. But for this investment 363 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: to be worth it, if Aaron doesn't change, nothing is 364 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: gonna change in Green Bay. Like as he gets older, 365 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 1: it's only gonna get worse. The Bears ain't going away. 366 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 1: Minnesota solid well run like a Aeron better this offseason, 367 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 1: because let's not get it twisted. Their season is over there. 368 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 1: They're gonna have a coaching change, and hopefully the coach 369 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,239 Speaker 1: can influence them. But Aaron's gonna have to look in 370 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: the mirror, and he's so rich now everyone loves them like. 371 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: I don't know if he will. Honestly, I bet against 372 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: him doing that. If he's willing to do that, maybe 373 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: he can get back to that old peak form and 374 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 1: not just be somewhat of a flash player. He's still 375 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: gonna make elite plays. He is still gonna be have 376 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: the ability to make some of the best plays you'll 377 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 1: ever see. The problem is he doesn't have good games anymore. 378 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,439 Speaker 1: He doesn't string it together for three strade games. He 379 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: has stretches, but because he's always freelancing and firing off 380 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: his back foot, balls are firing into the ground, firing 381 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,239 Speaker 1: over the wide receivers, missing wide open guys. It's just 382 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: not good enough. The craziest story of the weekend easily, 383 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 1: and it's one of the craziest stories the last several years. 384 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 1: Happened in Tampa Bay with the San Fransco, forty Diners, 385 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 1: and Ruben Foster, and he was arrested. Anyone listening to 386 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: this podcast more than likely knows the story arrested at 387 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 1: the team hotel, immediately cut and as the recording of 388 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: this he's currently on waivers. Will he be claimed? My 389 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: gut says he will be, But I texted a couple 390 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: of buddies in the league general manager scouts. They didn't 391 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: think he will be. So as you're listening to this, 392 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: will probably know. I kind of changed my mind. Maybe 393 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: he won't be. Who knows. I would think about UH 394 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: claiming him for sure because he's uh start. He starts 395 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: on every team, And I think that gets to where 396 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: I fundamentally view the NFL in any sports league for 397 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: that instance, is I think oftentimes, and especially with social media, 398 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: you see people get very offended when the league or 399 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 1: a team in the NFL has taken so much crap 400 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,640 Speaker 1: over the years for not being like the moral compass 401 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: of society when one percent, that is not their job, 402 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 1: that is not the role in society, And it really 403 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: bothers me. Why do people get a fit like if 404 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 1: an NFL team signs a guy with a rap sheet 405 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: domestic violence. I like, you can't stand domestic violence. It 406 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: is despicable. If you hit a woman, if you're a male, 407 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: it's me that's up there. Murder, rape, pedophilia, even is 408 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: that the right way to say it. It's right behind it. 409 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: I mean, it's terrible, it's despicable. I literally don't know 410 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: any person that is pro domestic violence. Every single human 411 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: alive that has any common sense, you know, is anti 412 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: domestic violence. So this isn't some hot take. But there 413 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: are only so many people that can play pro sports, 414 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: you know, and when you're talented at your job, you 415 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: get more chances. That's the way the private sector works. 416 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 1: Now in society, the moral compassed should start with your parents, 417 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 1: with your teachers, with the police, the judicial system. Like 418 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,880 Speaker 1: it's on them to figure it out. It is not 419 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: on these teams to set the code and the standard 420 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: for life. And everyone's like, oh my, I can't believe 421 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: the forty niners. You can't. I mean, have you followed 422 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: the NFL? Have you checked the rap sheet and the 423 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 1: resume of individuals in the Hall of Fame? Like this 424 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 1: is professional football, This isn't high school football. When you 425 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: get in trouble, you get kicked off the team unless 426 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: you're really talented and maybe going to a Division one college. 427 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: Why because guess what, In life, talented people get more 428 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 1: chances in the less talented. It's been like that and 429 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: it will always be like that in a capitalistic society. 430 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 1: And Ruben Foster is simply more talented than of the 431 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 1: NFL of the non quarterbacks. So whether he gets claimed 432 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: or whether he doesn't get claimed, he's in another shot. 433 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: And listen, it is just under zero circumstances. Can you 434 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:10,479 Speaker 1: get arrested on a road trip. None, It cannot happen. 435 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 1: It should never happen. And I think it's borderline unprecedented. 436 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: I don't think it has ever happened. Uh. And it 437 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: was a cuttable offense. Even on a team that's terrible 438 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,199 Speaker 1: and he's, you know, probably their second or third best player. 439 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: You had to cut him because you cannot go on 440 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 1: a road trip and have and you have a guy 441 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 1: escorted out in handcuffs, especially when it's a situation where 442 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: you've already gone down this road with the guy and 443 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:43,479 Speaker 1: it's the same girl TMZ had then one call. With 444 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 1: these type situations, I don't assume to know anything whether 445 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: he did it, whether he didn't do it. I don't 446 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: go into it hoping something's true. Obviously, if anything, you'd 447 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: hope it's not true. Because if he did hit her, 448 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,360 Speaker 1: he should go to jail. If he didn't hit her 449 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: and she makes it up for a second time, she 450 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: should go to jail. This situation is pretty black and 451 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: white for me. The one thing I will not do, though, 452 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 1: is think that the forty Niners are bad people, or 453 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: that John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan have low standards. They 454 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 1: are the same as every other damn team. Once upon 455 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: a time, Mark Davis said we will not employ anyone 456 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: that has ever been involved with domestic violence. That will 457 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: not stand for the Raiders. Then he signs John Groom 458 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: into a hundred million dollars and who does he immediately 459 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: hire Tom Cable who is admitted to hitting his ex wife, 460 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: maybe his current wife, I don't know, but he's gone 461 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: on record and stead he hit her. You know why, 462 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: because Mark Davis didn't really mean that. No owner ever 463 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: means it. It's why, if anything, you should never say 464 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: even touch these subjects. Why because if the players talented enough, 465 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: every team in the NFL will think about signing him, 466 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: and probably has signed a player that has been in 467 00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:01,959 Speaker 1: trouble before, domestic violence, crimes, whatever, It's just the nature 468 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 1: of the sport and people that get offended and angry 469 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: at these teams doing that are you're just don't even 470 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: watch because I mean that may sound terrible, but I 471 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: don't go. I don't turn on football on Sunday to 472 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 1: expect anything out of these guys. What Charles Barkley wants 473 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 1: say we're not role models. That they're not. They're simply not. 474 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 1: They are. They are playing their individuals being paid to 475 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,400 Speaker 1: play football. That's simple. They are paid to win, they 476 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:34,160 Speaker 1: are paid to play well, and if they don't play well, 477 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: they get cut. Ruben Foster got cut, as Kyle Shanahan said, 478 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: not because he hit her. We don't know. We didn't care. 479 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: He was gone because we already told him we will 480 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: not stand for you getting in trouble again. And I've 481 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: also always said this, People always say due process. There 482 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,360 Speaker 1: is no such thing as due process in the NFL. 483 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: The best part about the NFL, from a contractual stand 484 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,880 Speaker 1: point and for a fan standpoint, is they can get 485 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 1: rid of players whenever they want. So when guys suck 486 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: most of the time, they don't have an Aaron Rodgers contract, 487 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,959 Speaker 1: you can just cut them. That's why the turnover in 488 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: the NFL is so high. You just get rid of players. Well, 489 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: I've seen guys get get cut. And I was the 490 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,199 Speaker 1: Turk for looking at a coach wrong just because a 491 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: coach didn't like his body language, because a guy wasn't good. 492 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: You know, they've literally been because the guy has been arrested. 493 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: Players in the NFL have been cut for every reason imaginable. 494 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,959 Speaker 1: They've also been kept when things that if another player 495 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,919 Speaker 1: wasn't trouble, they would have been cut. I heard a 496 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,439 Speaker 1: story someone said it this weekend on one of the 497 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: games that Jimmy Johnson was famously said, Emmett Smith can 498 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: fall asleep in a meeting, and I might let him 499 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,199 Speaker 1: keep sleeping, or I might wake him up. If the 500 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,719 Speaker 1: undrafted player falls asleep in the meeting, I'm cutting him. 501 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: That there are different rules for different people in life. 502 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: Ruben just you know, exceeded the amount of chances that 503 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: an individual is gonna get with the team. They gave 504 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: him six chances. Alden Smith got a ton of chances. 505 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,439 Speaker 1: Why because he was good. If he sucked, he wouldn't 506 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,679 Speaker 1: have got one, and I always it's just I always 507 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 1: see it on Twitter, Liers, I can't believe it. You can't. 508 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: Have you consumed the NFL. It's been happening forever and 509 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: it will continue to happen, And every team and every 510 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 1: owner and every general manager is the same. Talent trumps all, 511 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: even when the guy's a scumbag. If he can play, 512 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 1: he will be employed in playing football on Sundays. Okay, 513 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna spend much time on this next guy, 514 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: just because really he's wearing me out and I'm just 515 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 1: over it. Uh. It's one thing to run your mouth 516 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: when you're an important, big deal, when you're the best 517 00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 1: player on the team and your team's good, when you're 518 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 1: an owner like Jerry Jones or George Steinbrenner and your 519 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 1: team is the most important franchise in your sport. Uh. 520 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: Joe Lacob acts like that. Now. He could not act 521 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 1: like that if he owned the Sacramento Kings Joints. George 522 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,479 Speaker 1: Steinbrenner would have been an idiot if he acted like 523 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: that and he owned, you know, the Minnesota Twins. Jerry 524 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: Jones would just be like if he owned the Jacksonville 525 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: Jaguars and carried himself like he did, we would make 526 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 1: fun of him constantly. Now we make fun of Jerry constantly. 527 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: But it can't be disputed that the Dallas Cowboys by 528 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: far are its most important television property. They put it 529 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: on primetime games for a reason. They are the highest 530 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: rated property in the league in a league that does 531 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: by far the highest media deals with you know, the 532 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: television partners. So without the Dallas Cowboys, the NFL would 533 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: make less money, and in you know return, the players 534 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: would make less money and the owners. And you know 535 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: who knows that, Jerry Jones. That's why he's got the 536 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: biggest ego in the league. You know, I'll give you 537 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: a guy I'm watching in the background the Warriors game. 538 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 1: You know, a guy that never shuts up, Draymond Green. 539 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: And you know why, I don't mind it, because he's 540 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: an ass kicker on on one of the great all 541 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: times teams. If he acted like that on the Dallas Mavericks, 542 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: we'd all, I mean, no one could stand him. Now. 543 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people that don't live in 544 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: the Bay Area think might think Draymond's a clown. But 545 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: I'll say this, he's an absolute winner. A guy that 546 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: I had to play a big game, I'd want Draymond 547 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: Green in my foxhole with me, because, you know what, 548 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: if I have a big NBA Finals game and he's 549 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: on my team, more than likely I'm probably gonna have 550 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,239 Speaker 1: a good chance to win. You know why, because it's 551 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: a team game and he's a team player. And if 552 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 1: you're not playing an individual sports like golfer, tennis, and 553 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: you run your mouth to a certain level, you can start, 554 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: you know, your mouth can start write and checks that 555 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: not everyone on your team can cash. And Jalen Ramsey 556 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: has crossed that threshold. It was fun last year when 557 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 1: Jacksonville was awesome and their deep NSE wasn't elite. Well, 558 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 1: this year the team sucks. I mean, it's god awful, 559 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: borderline unwatchable. As of the recording of this podcast, they 560 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 1: fired their offensive coordinator and Blake Bortles have been has 561 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: been demoted, you know, so that shows you where they're at. 562 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: But it's not as fun, you know, and cool running 563 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: your mouth when your team's four and eight and you prescently, 564 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: you know, talk crap about the opposing quarterback. And I've 565 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,719 Speaker 1: said I don't always disagree with Jalen Ramsey, but you 566 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: can't be saying, you know, Philip Rivers sucks. Uh, Tom 567 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: Brady's overrated. Like, bro, you're an idiot and listen. I 568 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:43,479 Speaker 1: I've gone on on this podcast and ever since the draft, 569 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: and even before the draft, I did not like Josh Allen. 570 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: Under no circumstances what I have drafted Josh Allen in 571 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: the first round. It was crazy. And I get when 572 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey called him trash and made fun of them 573 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 1: all off season, but when you're playing that team and 574 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: your team is struggling to keep doubling down during the 575 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 1: week and talking just mad shit, it's just not necessary. 576 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 1: And a couple of weeks ago, when the story came 577 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 1: out the same day as the condoleeze Right story that 578 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey might get traded, I knew exactly Twitter and 579 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: be like, oh, Schifter, you idiot, They're not trading. They're 580 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: not trading Jalen Ramsey. The hell they haven't thought about it. 581 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: He literally never shuts up. When you think Jalen Ramsey, 582 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: do you think Tom Coughlin. You know again, I think 583 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey might be the best cornerback in the league, 584 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 1: but he is a pain in the ask to have 585 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: on your team because he's always giving the opponent just 586 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 1: elite bulletin board material. Like if you don't think he 587 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: inspires the opponent every week just talking crazy crap about 588 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: their players, You're you're crazy, You're you're high on marijuana, 589 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: because that is just a factual, you know, thing that's 590 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: happening that their coaches are bringing it up and using 591 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: it to motivate. And so far this season and again, 592 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 1: he plays fine, but the problem is his teammates don't, 593 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 1: and he's creating these situations that are just unnecessary. And 594 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 1: I'm pro talking. I talked for a living. I'm not 595 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: against him saying his opinion, but you have to be 596 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: somewhat calculated. And again, you don't need to be the 597 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 1: Patriots in Belichick and say nothing but just destroying your 598 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 1: opponent during the week, like they suck and that dude's 599 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: trash and Tyreek Hill stinks and just saying things they're 600 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: just false, Like, hey, bro, Tyree Hill is an elite player. 601 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: He's an elite wide receiver right now, So you're just 602 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 1: blasting their best player. Is that's like what is that 603 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 1: doing for you? And it's gotten to the point where 604 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 1: he's kind of jumped the shark, and he for a 605 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 1: great player, he's really starting to take away from, you know, 606 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 1: his greatness because he's arguably the best corner in the lague. 607 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 1: They're gonna put him on the block this this offseason. 608 00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 1: Do not think twice about that? Now? Do they trade him? 609 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. You know it's you probably think twice 610 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 1: about trading such an elite talent. But they're talking about it. 611 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,959 Speaker 1: They're thinking about it one thousand percent. And I'll tell 612 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 1: you this, if I was an opposing team now, if 613 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: I had a pick in the twenties or something, might 614 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: do it. But like, just because of the best cornerback 615 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: in the league, they're not getting a top ten pick 616 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 1: for him. I wouldn't trade top ten pick for him because, 617 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 1: first off, you gotta pay him in a year. He 618 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: already talks a lot and he's just he's on a 619 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 1: rookie contract, which he was top five picks when he 620 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: makes a lot of money. But imagine paying him seventy 621 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: five million dollars guaranteed. I mean, you wouldn't be able 622 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 1: to tell him to be quiet. And again I am 623 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 1: not anti talking, but just saying just craziness. Week in 624 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 1: and week out the middle of the game, calling Josh Allen, 625 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: just telling him he's trash, screaming at the sideline's trash 626 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 1: when you're down fourteen. Nothing Again, if this was an 627 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 1: individual sport and it was tennis, I got you know what, 628 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 1: he can do whatever he wants. It's just all him. 629 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 1: But Bro, it's not like you have to depend on 630 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: your teammates. You're playing this opponent. What's the point in 631 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 1: inspiring him when you don't control the deal? You know, 632 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: it's one thing from Michael Jordan, who just belittled everyone. 633 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: Like in basketball, you have so much control as an 634 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 1: individual player. In football, you don't, like Yo, Jalen. Your 635 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 1: quarterback sucks, You're running back just got tossed out of 636 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 1: the game. Your team sucks. You play for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Like, Bro, 637 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 1: you're arguably on the most irrelevant team in the league. Like, 638 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 1: just tone it down, my man. Before we get into 639 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield and Hugh Jackson will head to the State 640 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 1: of Ohio uh Ohio State Urban Meyer and college football playoffs, 641 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 1: we have, I mean, kind of a crazy scenario. I've 642 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,719 Speaker 1: been saying forever. Listen, that was as big of a 643 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 1: game as Harbaugh and had since the NFL, and he 644 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: would I mean they got killed, they got boat raced. 645 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 1: I was wrong on Michigan. They didn't even belong on 646 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 1: the field. That that that wasn't a loss for Michigan. 647 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 1: It was a massacre. That that was a borderline bodybag 648 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 1: game for Ohio State. It wasn't just the speed, because 649 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 1: you know how fast Ohio State is. It was I mean, 650 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:17,720 Speaker 1: they were dropping Michigan guys like flies in Michigan. Listen. 651 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,359 Speaker 1: I thought they were one of the more physical teams 652 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 1: in the league. They did not beside Rashaan Gary, that 653 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 1: their guys didn't belong I mean Ohio State. When they 654 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,919 Speaker 1: hit him, they fell, And when Michigan hit Ohio State, 655 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: they did not fall. It was a heavyweight fight. I 656 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 1: don't know if you saw the highlights. I didn't order 657 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 1: the fight. When I was at cal Poly in the 658 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 1: mid two thousands, Chuck Lydell was in the peak of 659 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 1: his powers and he went to cal Poly and he 660 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 1: kind of spent some time there. Even when he was 661 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: kicking ass in the UFC, was an m m A 662 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 1: was blowing up and he was like the heavyweight champ. 663 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 1: He would actually come out to like frat parties and 664 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 1: you know, and kick in and get wasted and pick 665 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: up on chicks like he was a big deal. He 666 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,359 Speaker 1: was a rock star in the community. If San Louis obispo, 667 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 1: I mean just on top of the world, like the 668 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:07,360 Speaker 1: Mike Tyson version of UFC. Well, if you watch Google 669 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 1: the highlight of him verse Tito Ortiz uh last weekend, 670 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:16,240 Speaker 1: Chuck got dropped like it's over. It kind of looked 671 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,880 Speaker 1: like that with Michigan Ohio State was Tito Ortiz. Now 672 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,200 Speaker 1: Tito's probably shot too, but that that's what the fight, 673 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 1: That's what the game looked like. Now here's the problem. 674 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:31,800 Speaker 1: It's pretty clear to me Alabama's the one Clemson ceiling 675 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 1: is might not be Alabama, but it's damn close. If 676 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 1: Clemson plays an A game in Obama plays a B 677 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,120 Speaker 1: plus game, Clemson can win. There's only one other team 678 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,239 Speaker 1: to me, I would put in that sentence and it 679 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 1: would be Ohio State. Ohio State ceiling might not be 680 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 1: as high as those two teams, but they clearly if 681 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 1: they were on and one of those two teams off, 682 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 1: could beat them. I can't say that for Notre Dame, 683 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,760 Speaker 1: and I cannot say that for Oklahoma, but it's clear 684 00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 1: Alabamas in no matter what, they're gonna beat Georgia. So 685 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:05,719 Speaker 1: Georgia will be out Clemsons in Notre Dame's in Alabama. 686 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,840 Speaker 1: Notre Dame are officially in and Clemson's gonna house Pittsburgh 687 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,879 Speaker 1: on Saturday night. Why that games on Saturday night? When 688 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,279 Speaker 1: Oklahoma Texas they should put that bad boy at night. 689 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 1: The reality there's one spot for two teams, assuming they 690 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 1: both both win. Ohio States should kill Northwestern and Oklahoma 691 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 1: should get revenge on Texas. And to me, Ohio State 692 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,759 Speaker 1: is better, there's just no question. But if you're the 693 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 1: college football playoff, do you really want to mess? And 694 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 1: I often think the pr nightmare in sports is a 695 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 1: tad bit overrated, like who cares that social media freaks? 696 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,399 Speaker 1: Who cares that? People go nuts? Like if you win, 697 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,920 Speaker 1: no one will care, literally, no one will care. We 698 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 1: freaked out about Urban Meyer and then he beat the 699 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,600 Speaker 1: crap out of Michigan and now they're eleven in one 700 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 1: or whatever, and people ain't really talking about it. But 701 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 1: in the college football playoff because there's so it's time 702 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 1: before games. The domestic violence deal with the Coats that 703 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,719 Speaker 1: he fired and then that Coats that he fired has 704 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:10,200 Speaker 1: also been tweeting like a mad band at Tom Herban 705 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,960 Speaker 1: about massage parlors and what he's done with his wife, 706 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,280 Speaker 1: like he's a wild card. I don't think the College 707 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,960 Speaker 1: Football Playoff would want any part of that involvement in 708 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 1: that because unlike a lot of times in football, you 709 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 1: have a couple of days, but then football becomes such 710 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 1: a big conversation and then you play. It's over with. Well, 711 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:34,759 Speaker 1: in the playoffs after this weekend, you wouldn't play until 712 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 1: the twenty ninth. You have a huge gap between this, 713 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,839 Speaker 1: like when the college football playoffs is set. So what 714 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,440 Speaker 1: are you doing? You're just talking about the game. So 715 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 1: Alabama they're out? You know it's positive talk? Is Clemson 716 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,200 Speaker 1: positive talk? Notre Dame positive talk? If you put Urban 717 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:56,040 Speaker 1: Meyer in that game, all the talk is about domestic 718 00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,320 Speaker 1: violence and how he kept that coach on his staff 719 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:03,239 Speaker 1: all those years, like the negative stories. If you're in 720 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,160 Speaker 1: that committee, like you have to be talking about that 721 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,399 Speaker 1: when you put the team together, because I don't even 722 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 1: think you could argue. And you can tell me about 723 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,919 Speaker 1: the Purdue loss. Yeah, I get the loss was bad, 724 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:17,360 Speaker 1: but if you have half a brain and eyes that work. 725 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 1: You can't argue that the one loss Ohio State and 726 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,839 Speaker 1: a one loss Oklahoma Ohio State would have the better 727 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,719 Speaker 1: chance to beat Alabama, even though both would have a 728 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,799 Speaker 1: small chance. Oil State it is much better. Urban has 729 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:34,840 Speaker 1: beat saving several times. Oklahoma cannot beat Alabama. They do 730 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 1: not play defense. But if I put Oklahoma instead of 731 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,880 Speaker 1: Ohio State, instead of negative publicity for a month and 732 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,760 Speaker 1: a coach that's not even on this Ohio State staff anymore, 733 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 1: tweeting about Tom Herman's sex life and crazy things that happened, 734 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,920 Speaker 1: I just get Lincoln Riley, who is you know, I 735 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,600 Speaker 1: would say the sexiest coach in all of college football, 736 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,920 Speaker 1: not in his appearance, not Cliff Kingsbury style, but just 737 00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 1: the way we talk about his offense and Kyler Murray 738 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,080 Speaker 1: that may or may not win the Heisman, but as 739 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:14,120 Speaker 1: easily the most intriguing college player because they're they're playing 740 00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,319 Speaker 1: him up like he's bo Jackson got drafted in the 741 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,839 Speaker 1: top ten in baseball. He's fun Like to me, Oklahoma 742 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,480 Speaker 1: is the no brain or choice simply because there is 743 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,439 Speaker 1: no drama like I. I think that that is going 744 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 1: to be a talking point in this committee whether you 745 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,359 Speaker 1: like it or not, whether that's fair or not, whether 746 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,840 Speaker 1: Ohio State kind of gets screwed now. They put themselves 747 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:36,920 Speaker 1: in this position because if they had been undefeated, they 748 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,360 Speaker 1: would be a lock in. Oklahoma would be screwed. But again, 749 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 1: like I watched basically every game of Oklahoma's played this year, 750 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,920 Speaker 1: I've watched a lot of Ohio State, and obviously Ohio 751 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,719 Speaker 1: State has struggled, but as you saw with Michigan, their 752 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,319 Speaker 1: ceiling is just higher than Oklahoma. And isn't that what 753 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,520 Speaker 1: we're trying to do? Get the best four teams. Ohio 754 00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,719 Speaker 1: State when they're there, best is better than Oklahoma's best 755 00:40:56,719 --> 00:41:00,359 Speaker 1: because they don't play defense. But if I'm all ends 756 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,600 Speaker 1: the a D from Oregon, I can't have Urban Meyer's drama. 757 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,400 Speaker 1: I can't have that craziest coach that he fired, tweeting 758 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,360 Speaker 1: about who knows what for three weeks. I want no 759 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:15,320 Speaker 1: part of that. So I simply put Oklahoma in, whether 760 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:19,000 Speaker 1: you like it or not, just to avoid the pr disaster. Okay, 761 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 1: let's let's dive into this last topic before we're getting 762 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 1: the Middlecoff mail bag. There was so much to talk 763 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,280 Speaker 1: about this week. I even have a ditch couple topics. 764 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,120 Speaker 1: I mean, God, I've been fired up today. This is 765 00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,560 Speaker 1: one of my favorite podcasts I've ever done, just because 766 00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:35,000 Speaker 1: so much stuff happened this weekend. But one of the 767 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:39,719 Speaker 1: kind of funnier things was the interaction uh fake handshake 768 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:43,080 Speaker 1: hug with Hugh Jackson and Baker Mayfield. Hugh went in 769 00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,120 Speaker 1: for the hug, Baker just went in for the handshake. 770 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,359 Speaker 1: Hugh kind of stopped mid hug realized that Baker wasn't 771 00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 1: feeling it, and then Baker after said that he was 772 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,840 Speaker 1: piste off that he went to Cincinnati, a division rival, 773 00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,279 Speaker 1: and people blew up on Twitter or calling him not 774 00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:01,879 Speaker 1: class lists whatever. Simply, I think this in a day 775 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,280 Speaker 1: and age, why are we so caught up with everyone 776 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 1: being so fake with one another? Like I'm all for 777 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,000 Speaker 1: politics in life, and when you work with someone, you 778 00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,560 Speaker 1: work for someone, your partners with people, you're you know, 779 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,360 Speaker 1: you work in the same office as someone. Sometimes you 780 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,200 Speaker 1: gotta suck it up and just be nicer to someone 781 00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 1: that you want to be. I mean, that's that's the 782 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,799 Speaker 1: reality with all of us in life. It's just I mean, 783 00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,960 Speaker 1: welcome to America. We'll welcome to this world. Uh, we 784 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 1: we all have to fake it every once in a while. 785 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,200 Speaker 1: But if I'm not doing business with you and we 786 00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:39,400 Speaker 1: don't have a personal relationship, why do I need to 787 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,680 Speaker 1: pretend I care about you. It's one thing like after 788 00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,480 Speaker 1: a game to show respect to an opponent, a guy 789 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,440 Speaker 1: you played, but a coach that you just had that 790 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:52,040 Speaker 1: you clearly didn't like that much, that they clearly didn't 791 00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:55,400 Speaker 1: see eye to eye. That whether he on the record, 792 00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:57,920 Speaker 1: has you know, said that he kind of like Baker whatever, 793 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 1: Clearly he had leaked to a bunch of people that 794 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,400 Speaker 1: he wanted Carson, that he wanted to Shaun that it 795 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,480 Speaker 1: was never his fault and Baker didn't like him. So 796 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:11,120 Speaker 1: Baker gave him a half hearted handshake, like why are 797 00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,840 Speaker 1: you not allowed to do that? Now? I disagreed a 798 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,480 Speaker 1: little like Baker he can go to Cleveland or Cincinnati. 799 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:20,600 Speaker 1: I mean, who cares. But I did respect and really 800 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:24,319 Speaker 1: liked that. Baker was like, screw you. You know I 801 00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,000 Speaker 1: would have supported him, like I'm I have a little 802 00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:31,319 Speaker 1: petty in myself and if I was given the same situation, 803 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,399 Speaker 1: and I could think of several people that I would 804 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,640 Speaker 1: have really struggled just to shake their hand. So he 805 00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:39,560 Speaker 1: was a bigger man and shook his hand, but he 806 00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,520 Speaker 1: did not owe him a hug. Honestly, I don't think 807 00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:46,640 Speaker 1: he necessarily owed him a handshake. Like listen, the rep 808 00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:50,840 Speaker 1: on Hugh Jackson with my friends in the NFL and 809 00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:54,440 Speaker 1: just that I've heard forever is he just kind of 810 00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:58,279 Speaker 1: fraud and he just disorganized mess. And I know a 811 00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,560 Speaker 1: couple of people close around the the Cleveland team that 812 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 1: he wasn't respected at all, Like he's one of the 813 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:09,839 Speaker 1: worst coaches we've ever seen. And clearly, you know, it's 814 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:13,560 Speaker 1: hard to quite decipher did he want Baker, Did he 815 00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 1: want Baker, did he not want Baker? I don't know, 816 00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:20,080 Speaker 1: but Baker clearly has some red flags with him with 817 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,920 Speaker 1: Hugh that big. So I respect that Baker didn't fake it. 818 00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,480 Speaker 1: Why why are we all about faking it in life? 819 00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:28,480 Speaker 1: I'm just so tired of it. If you don't like 820 00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,600 Speaker 1: a guy, you don't have to shake his hand. It's 821 00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:34,440 Speaker 1: a good thing, like Belichick when the Mangini stuff, like 822 00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,239 Speaker 1: Belichick stopped liking him and he gave him half ast. 823 00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,640 Speaker 1: You know, hugs like Belichick doesn't fake it. If he 824 00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,600 Speaker 1: doesn't like it, like you, he shows you. And I 825 00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,560 Speaker 1: I've always respected that about Bill, He's not. He's not 826 00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,760 Speaker 1: a fraud that way when a lot of guys, especially 827 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:53,719 Speaker 1: in football, are very fraudulent. It's a it's a very 828 00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:57,239 Speaker 1: you know, it's like high school that the drama in 829 00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:01,960 Speaker 1: the NFL, the rumor mongering between coaches and scouts and 830 00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:06,279 Speaker 1: executives and players and player agents, and you know, it's 831 00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,920 Speaker 1: a it's a very small community. It's a weird, little 832 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,280 Speaker 1: small rich community because all the players and now coaches 833 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:16,000 Speaker 1: and now definitely executives are all really rich. Uh, I 834 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:19,040 Speaker 1: mean even an average I don't think people quite understand 835 00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,520 Speaker 1: like how much assistant coaches make, you know, like a 836 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,160 Speaker 1: tight end coach makes like four grand, you know, running 837 00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,600 Speaker 1: back coach makes like three fifty. Offensive and defensive coordinators 838 00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:32,400 Speaker 1: make millions, like seven figures a year salary. That's not 839 00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,840 Speaker 1: like bonuses, that's not like if they make the playoffs, 840 00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,960 Speaker 1: that's a set salary like that happens. So, you know, 841 00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:42,840 Speaker 1: with so much money on the line, I respect Baker 842 00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,799 Speaker 1: for basically, you know, giving them the middle finger. Like 843 00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,960 Speaker 1: what did Hugh deserve for Baker for him to give 844 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,080 Speaker 1: him respect? Baker knows that it wasn't Hughes called to 845 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,640 Speaker 1: start THEOM hell, it wasn't even Hugh was called to 846 00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:57,040 Speaker 1: put him in the game. Tyrod Taylor had to get hurt. 847 00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:59,759 Speaker 1: That's the only reason Baker came in. Think about that, 848 00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,359 Speaker 1: looking back on that game against the New York Jets 849 00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:05,560 Speaker 1: on Thursday night, you doesn't even want to play him. 850 00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:10,400 Speaker 1: They go stupid, Hugh is Tyrod Taylor over Baker Mayfield. 851 00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:12,440 Speaker 1: I mean they might have won two games this year 852 00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:16,879 Speaker 1: with Tyrod Taylor, so I respect it. Okay, I'm gonna 853 00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:20,759 Speaker 1: keep the Middlecoff mail bag a little shorter this week 854 00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,080 Speaker 1: just because I've already done so much stuff. You can 855 00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,440 Speaker 1: always slide into my d M s at John Middlecoff 856 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:29,960 Speaker 1: on Instagram and I will answer your questions. I'll answer 857 00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:33,120 Speaker 1: some questions on Instagram this week just because I'm not 858 00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:36,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a little behind after only probably answered 859 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:40,279 Speaker 1: two or three tonight. Okay. I know Kyler murray a 860 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,239 Speaker 1: situation is confusing and kind of odd, but I had 861 00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,760 Speaker 1: thought about his pro prospects. Kyler Murray, by the way, 862 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:51,640 Speaker 1: said today that he hasn't ruled out playing in the NFL, 863 00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,200 Speaker 1: but right now as of today, literally he said it 864 00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:59,560 Speaker 1: Monday in uh in lieu of the big twelve championship game. 865 00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,200 Speaker 1: His game game plan is after this season to go 866 00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,040 Speaker 1: play baseball full time. And that's clearly I live in 867 00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:08,000 Speaker 1: the Bay Area. What Billy Bean, Dave Force, Bob Melvine, 868 00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,960 Speaker 1: all those guys believe. I don't know if Bob Melvin, 869 00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,400 Speaker 1: I mean in baseball, the manager is not really paying attention. 870 00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,840 Speaker 1: But Billy Bean believes he's gonna play baseball, and Kyler 871 00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,400 Speaker 1: does too. If Kyler Murray were to say after the 872 00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:22,239 Speaker 1: season that he's in on his baseball career, do you 873 00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:24,520 Speaker 1: think that an NFL team could use a mid round 874 00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:29,400 Speaker 1: pick on him to hold his rights while he pursues baseball, 875 00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,479 Speaker 1: I e. Texans drafting Drew Henson in the sixth round, 876 00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,759 Speaker 1: you know, three while he played baseball. I didn't read 877 00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,359 Speaker 1: this question. Before I read it, I thought you were 878 00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,120 Speaker 1: going to ask the opposite, like could he give up 879 00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:45,520 Speaker 1: baseball and play football? Because as I've said, the knock 880 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:47,879 Speaker 1: on him really is that he's short, and I don't 881 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:50,359 Speaker 1: know truly how tall he is. The more and more 882 00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,600 Speaker 1: I watch him, you know, some people have said he's 883 00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,480 Speaker 1: probably a shade over five nine. He is pretty small. 884 00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:57,640 Speaker 1: I mean, if he was five eleven, I think he'd 885 00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:00,239 Speaker 1: be a lock first round pick. I still think even 886 00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:03,480 Speaker 1: at five nine, I think I think he'd have a 887 00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:08,000 Speaker 1: chance to be a first rounder in baseball. But if 888 00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:11,439 Speaker 1: and he said it, like I said, so his game 889 00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:16,400 Speaker 1: plan is to play professional baseball, that I would say that, Yeah, 890 00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:21,280 Speaker 1: I mean, you'd be crazy. You definitely wouldn't use a second, 891 00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,279 Speaker 1: you know, on the second day, the second or third 892 00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,600 Speaker 1: round pick on him, because if he says, listen, I'm 893 00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:28,960 Speaker 1: gonna play baseball, you can't afford to do that. Fourth 894 00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:32,439 Speaker 1: still seems bold. I'd say anything after the fourth round, 895 00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,440 Speaker 1: you could easily draft Kyler Murray and sell it to 896 00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:37,720 Speaker 1: your fan, like you know, it was a risk worth taking. 897 00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,520 Speaker 1: I mean, what's the likelihood of a fifth round pick hitting, 898 00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:46,560 Speaker 1: you know, I and that guy, that guy won't be 899 00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:48,840 Speaker 1: a starter. If that guy hits, that means he just 900 00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,080 Speaker 1: dresses and he's a backup, you know. So why wouldn't 901 00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:55,040 Speaker 1: you draft Kyler Murray? That's a that's a great question. 902 00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,000 Speaker 1: I actually think I hadn't ever thought about it, and 903 00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:01,920 Speaker 1: I hadn't asked anyone in the NFL. But I definitely 904 00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:05,120 Speaker 1: think that's a very likely scenario that he gets drafted. 905 00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:07,560 Speaker 1: If he just goes on record, so I'm gonna play baseball. 906 00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:09,960 Speaker 1: Because here's the thing, and everyone always says this, and 907 00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:12,239 Speaker 1: I think I've talked about it before in this podcast. 908 00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,120 Speaker 1: You get paid if you were a first rounder more 909 00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,480 Speaker 1: than you do in baseball. Like if he was drafted, 910 00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,239 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson at pick thirty two got more than Kyler 911 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:24,560 Speaker 1: Murray got at pick nine. But if you let's say 912 00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,400 Speaker 1: he gets drafted in the late rounds, they hold his 913 00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:29,759 Speaker 1: rights if he tries to pursue baseball. I googled, like 914 00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:33,040 Speaker 1: a month ago, the likelihood of making the big leagues, 915 00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,879 Speaker 1: just for anyone in the minor leagues is ten Now, 916 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,960 Speaker 1: if I did a deep dive on what's the likelihood 917 00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:42,640 Speaker 1: of a first round baseball player making the big leagues, 918 00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,560 Speaker 1: I think it's much higher than ten percent, because clearly 919 00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:49,680 Speaker 1: they push those guys up. So let's just say it's. Well, 920 00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:53,279 Speaker 1: the likelihood of let's say Kyler Murray just said I 921 00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,839 Speaker 1: want to play NFL football, he would be a lock 922 00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:59,040 Speaker 1: top fifty pick. The likelihood of him making the NFL. 923 00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:02,839 Speaker 1: If you're top fifty pick is one hundred percent. It's 924 00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:06,920 Speaker 1: actually one million percent. You literally go right to the NFL. 925 00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:11,000 Speaker 1: You know, there's a chance that he's a center fielder. 926 00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:15,320 Speaker 1: He's a great base stealer. Uh, he's a great defender, 927 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:17,839 Speaker 1: you know. I you know, for those of you listen 928 00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:21,040 Speaker 1: to pod that watch baseball, like Jason Hayward, what he 929 00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,560 Speaker 1: now is just an elite defender. He can't hit. He 930 00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:26,680 Speaker 1: actually hit a little this year that Kyler Murray. Let's 931 00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:28,560 Speaker 1: say he could never hit the curveball, because I I 932 00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:31,040 Speaker 1: don't even think he hit above three hundred in college. 933 00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:34,440 Speaker 1: And anyone that follows anyone in college baseball, like usually 934 00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,719 Speaker 1: guys that get drafted, their position players in at a 935 00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:42,560 Speaker 1: college baseball hit like at minimum like three eight. You know, 936 00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,280 Speaker 1: when you see some of these high school hitters get drafted, 937 00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:47,960 Speaker 1: they hit like six hundred. So if you hit below 938 00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:51,320 Speaker 1: three hundred in college, it's not great. Like there's a 939 00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:54,239 Speaker 1: chance that Kyler Murray gets to minor league baseball and 940 00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:58,120 Speaker 1: just can't hit breaking pitches. Because as anyone that's you know, 941 00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:01,480 Speaker 1: falls baseball or read anything about baseball, most guys can 942 00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,880 Speaker 1: hit fastballs. It's the breaking stuff they can't hit. And 943 00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:08,120 Speaker 1: just talking to people in pro baseball and just reading 944 00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,040 Speaker 1: stuff about it, I mean that's gonna be can he 945 00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:11,839 Speaker 1: do it or not, and maybe he figures out how 946 00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,799 Speaker 1: to do it, maybe he doesn't. And that if he 947 00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:17,200 Speaker 1: can't hit the fastball, I mean, excuse me, the breaking 948 00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:19,600 Speaker 1: ball chance he never makes the big leagues. You know, 949 00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,520 Speaker 1: it's really it's really that simple. It's kind of crazy. 950 00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:26,239 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, god, that's hat tipped you great, 951 00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:29,920 Speaker 1: great question. Bill O'Brien has gone to the playoffs with 952 00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:34,360 Speaker 1: below average quarterbacks on multiple occasions. Last year, when Watson 953 00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:36,919 Speaker 1: was healthy, they lead the league in scoring, and now 954 00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:40,120 Speaker 1: this year, when healthy, they're on a this seven but 955 00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:43,840 Speaker 1: it's actually now eight game winning street. However, it seems 956 00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,640 Speaker 1: like when the Texans playing elite quarterback or in a 957 00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,760 Speaker 1: big game, they can never win. People have been calling 958 00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:51,920 Speaker 1: for his job for a while. Is it warranted? Is 959 00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:53,880 Speaker 1: he a good coach or not? Can the Texans win 960 00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:55,600 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl with him as the head coach? I 961 00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:57,279 Speaker 1: hit on him a little bit earlier when I was 962 00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:59,560 Speaker 1: talking about J. J. Watt. Can they win the Super 963 00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:01,359 Speaker 1: Bowl with him as a head coach? If DeShawn keeps 964 00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:04,640 Speaker 1: getting better? I don't know if their offensive line is 965 00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:06,960 Speaker 1: good enough this year, but their team is pretty damn good. 966 00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:10,560 Speaker 1: Like keep watching the Texans J. J. Watt, Clowney, DeShawn 967 00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:15,320 Speaker 1: Hopkins is you know, I think the best wide receiver 968 00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:18,800 Speaker 1: in the league Himer, Antonio Brown coin flip, absolute monster. 969 00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:22,680 Speaker 1: Just Demarus Thomas had two touchdowns the night. I mean, 970 00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:25,600 Speaker 1: if you've got Damarius Thomas, DeAndre Hopkins, just Shaun Watson, 971 00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:30,560 Speaker 1: J J. Watt, uh Clowney, Honey Badger's playing well in 972 00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:34,680 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien again one at New England Belichick, Tom Brady 973 00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:36,959 Speaker 1: believed in him. Then he goes to Penn State after 974 00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,280 Speaker 1: Sandusky one and like you said, has wanted the Texans 975 00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:43,200 Speaker 1: with made the plans with Brian Hoyer. Now, the a 976 00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:45,960 Speaker 1: f C South was not as good. You know several 977 00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:49,400 Speaker 1: years ago, like Luck's first year, that Colts team was 978 00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:53,120 Speaker 1: a wild card team. Uh. You know, the Titans have 979 00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:55,359 Speaker 1: gotten a lot better the last couple of years, much more. 980 00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:57,120 Speaker 1: I mean you look at their team this year, they'll 981 00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:58,960 Speaker 1: probably be like eight and eight, but that's their tough 982 00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:01,640 Speaker 1: little fights to eight and a team. Uh. The Jaguars 983 00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:04,040 Speaker 1: last year were good and say what they want, say 984 00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:06,480 Speaker 1: what you want about him. I make fun of him, 985 00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:10,360 Speaker 1: but they have good players. Uh. I definitely one thousand 986 00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:13,280 Speaker 1: percent think you can win a Super Bowl with Bill O'Brien. 987 00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:16,200 Speaker 1: I think he is a good coach. I think he's 988 00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:19,520 Speaker 1: gotten a bad rap because he's had terrible quarterbacks. Like 989 00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,160 Speaker 1: you said, last year when they had Deshaun Watson pre 990 00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,560 Speaker 1: a c L, they led the league in scoring. This year, 991 00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:27,080 Speaker 1: with Deshaun Watson playing a full year back from an 992 00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:30,200 Speaker 1: a c L injury, they're eight and three, and if 993 00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:33,160 Speaker 1: you think about it, they started oh and three. Why 994 00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:35,960 Speaker 1: he was slow and he didn't look great, you know, 995 00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:38,840 Speaker 1: recovering from the a c L injury. As he's gotten stronger, 996 00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:41,600 Speaker 1: I mean he's running around like a gazelle the night. 997 00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:45,280 Speaker 1: You know that he is a potent weapon in the NFL. 998 00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:50,560 Speaker 1: As the great philosopher Dabbo Sweeney said, you will regret it. 999 00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:53,319 Speaker 1: He's the Michael Jordan's football that might have been a 1000 00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:57,400 Speaker 1: little strong, but Dabbo was right that Deshaun is a stud. 1001 00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:00,640 Speaker 1: So I think the Texans are gonna be held to 1002 00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:02,840 Speaker 1: deal with in the playoffs. The a f C is 1003 00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:05,880 Speaker 1: gonna be really good. It's gonna be really important for 1004 00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:09,560 Speaker 1: them because the difference in the first round of playing 1005 00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:12,360 Speaker 1: the Chargers and playing that six seed, because the Charges 1006 00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:15,239 Speaker 1: are gonna be the fifth seed unless the Chiefs fall 1007 00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:17,080 Speaker 1: apart and somehow they win the division, which is not 1008 00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,239 Speaker 1: out of the realm possibility. But let's just assume the 1009 00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:21,839 Speaker 1: charges of the fifth seed. That's a tough first round game. 1010 00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:24,960 Speaker 1: But if you get the Ravens, you know, you get 1011 00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:28,040 Speaker 1: I don't even know who else. I mean, the Broncos. 1012 00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:31,959 Speaker 1: It's a much easier game to get play the six seeds. 1013 00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:34,200 Speaker 1: So that's the key for the Texans. Keep on winning, 1014 00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:36,880 Speaker 1: you know, get to twelve and four and you'll probably 1015 00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:41,520 Speaker 1: be the sixth seed. Okay, let me look up. Do 1016 00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:44,279 Speaker 1: you believe Derek Carr will be the quarterback next year 1017 00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:47,000 Speaker 1: for the Raiders? Do you like Car for Winston? Deal? 1018 00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:50,920 Speaker 1: Tampa's now legit and Raiders can dump or franchise Winston, 1019 00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:56,640 Speaker 1: then select Herbert uh I would say this, I don't 1020 00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:59,160 Speaker 1: think Derek Carr makes it to Vegas. I would say 1021 00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:01,520 Speaker 1: it's a fifty fi proposition that he's on the team 1022 00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:03,799 Speaker 1: next year. I don't think anything can be discounted. When 1023 00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:08,880 Speaker 1: Jon Grutinger coach, he's very emotional, he's impatient. He clearly 1024 00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:12,520 Speaker 1: his mind changes all the time. Would he trade Derek 1025 00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:15,480 Speaker 1: for Jamis Winston? I have a hard time seeing that. 1026 00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:17,799 Speaker 1: But if he does get rid of Derek, someone's gonna 1027 00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:21,160 Speaker 1: have to play quarterback. I don't know. Like I watched 1028 00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:23,759 Speaker 1: Jamis this weekend because they played the forty Niners. He 1029 00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:26,120 Speaker 1: actually wasn't that terrible. I thought he looked pretty good. 1030 00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:30,040 Speaker 1: Like he's a more talented player than Ryan Fitzpatrick. I'd 1031 00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:34,239 Speaker 1: even say if Jamis is playing well, he's he's he 1032 00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:36,720 Speaker 1: that That game was as good as any game Derek's 1033 00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:39,960 Speaker 1: had this year. Now, the Niners are terrible on defense, 1034 00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:41,840 Speaker 1: but Derek has not played well for the majority of 1035 00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:44,480 Speaker 1: the year. His stats aren't great or I mean aren't terrible, 1036 00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:48,680 Speaker 1: but he hasn't looked good. Uh. The more I think 1037 00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:52,000 Speaker 1: about it, can you discount Gruden doing something like this? No, 1038 00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:56,000 Speaker 1: you can't just get off Derek's contract kind of start over, 1039 00:55:56,480 --> 00:56:00,720 Speaker 1: take a flyer on Jamis former number one pick. Uh. 1040 00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,920 Speaker 1: I would say this depending on who I think Tampa 1041 00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,880 Speaker 1: They're gonna get blown out on who the next general managers, 1042 00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:10,839 Speaker 1: last coaches in Tampa. Would they even want to do that? 1043 00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,480 Speaker 1: Because you do watch Tampa Bay and you just go Jamis. 1044 00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:17,880 Speaker 1: If you just play consistent, a team has dudes everywhere. 1045 00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:21,080 Speaker 1: Mike Evans monster. O. J. Howard went on injury Reserve. 1046 00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,440 Speaker 1: He's a stud. The Humphrey guys a stud breaks a 1047 00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:29,160 Speaker 1: stud like they got legit offensive weapons. They can score points. Hi, John, 1048 00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:32,400 Speaker 1: love the show in your opinions. Thanks. I'm a Vikings 1049 00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:35,520 Speaker 1: fan from Brisbane, Australia. Do you think Zimmer is still 1050 00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:37,319 Speaker 1: the man to lead us to our first Super Bowl? 1051 00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:39,600 Speaker 1: It's crazy the Vikings never won Super Bowl? Where is 1052 00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:42,200 Speaker 1: it too hard to win now? With defense first mentality 1053 00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:44,560 Speaker 1: in the new and age in the New Age NFL. 1054 00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:48,280 Speaker 1: Thanks Brendan. I would say yeah, I I think Zimmer's 1055 00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:52,560 Speaker 1: a superstar. As he said after the game on Sunday night, 1056 00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:56,320 Speaker 1: he put a lot of trust and he basically said 1057 00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:59,800 Speaker 1: that that was a big time game from Flip and Cousins. 1058 00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:03,440 Speaker 1: He he empowers his assistant coaches you saw last year 1059 00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:07,200 Speaker 1: or Shermer like. He hires good offensive coordinators and then 1060 00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:10,360 Speaker 1: he lets them do their thing. Uh, Flip was awesome. 1061 00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:13,400 Speaker 1: I think their team is really good, I easily. I 1062 00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:16,440 Speaker 1: mean they're starting to play good football. Cousins has had 1063 00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:20,400 Speaker 1: a good season. Those two wide receivers are monsters. Dalvin 1064 00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:23,840 Speaker 1: Cook is awesome. Uh. Now that ever since Griffin's back 1065 00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:27,600 Speaker 1: with Hunter. Those two guys are monsters. Kendricks a good player, 1066 00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:32,240 Speaker 1: Harrison Smith Xavier Rose may have a star studded team. Obviously, 1067 00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:35,240 Speaker 1: their offensive line is not very good, but if they 1068 00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:37,520 Speaker 1: play well on a given game that they can beat 1069 00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:41,000 Speaker 1: anyone in the league. They really can't. There A game 1070 00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:44,800 Speaker 1: is good enough to hang with other teams, other great 1071 00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:48,120 Speaker 1: teams a game. Now, are they top to bottom as 1072 00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:50,680 Speaker 1: good of a roster is say the Rams or the Saints. 1073 00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:53,800 Speaker 1: Probably not. But I've seen Zimmer in big games. His 1074 00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:56,280 Speaker 1: teams are ready. I know they got boat raced in 1075 00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:58,880 Speaker 1: the a f C or in the NFC Championship, but 1076 00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:01,640 Speaker 1: it felt like God was just ready to give Philly 1077 00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:03,840 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. You know, it was like out of 1078 00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:07,440 Speaker 1: their hands. But yeah, I mean, I believe in Zimmer. 1079 00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:09,960 Speaker 1: I think their team is really good. I think they're 1080 00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:12,280 Speaker 1: gonna make the playoffs. I don't think they're gonna win 1081 00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:15,600 Speaker 1: the division. That's I don't Chicago doesn't have it wrapped up. 1082 00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:18,160 Speaker 1: But I mean, they still play the Giants, they still 1083 00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:20,160 Speaker 1: play the Niners. I don't see how the Bears don't 1084 00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:23,920 Speaker 1: win eleven, uh might end up winning twelve. Kind of 1085 00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:26,320 Speaker 1: feels like the Vikings are gonna end up ten five 1086 00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:29,840 Speaker 1: and one or even nine six and one, and I 1087 00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:32,800 Speaker 1: think that would be good enough to get a playoff spot. Uh. 1088 00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:34,240 Speaker 1: And then in the playoffs are gonna have to go 1089 00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:36,800 Speaker 1: on the road and either play the Bears or probably 1090 00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:40,160 Speaker 1: play the Cowboys. I definitely think they could win that game. 1091 00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:42,200 Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, now, are they gonna win the 1092 00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:44,040 Speaker 1: Super Bowl this year? I don't know, but I do 1093 00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:46,440 Speaker 1: think with another good offseason, adding a couple of more 1094 00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:49,479 Speaker 1: offensive linemen, that they can get it done in these 1095 00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:52,440 Speaker 1: in this next year or two that their roster is 1096 00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:56,560 Speaker 1: one thousand percent good enough. I am a believer. I 1097 00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:59,800 Speaker 1: appreciate everyone listening. Been a long podcast. If I haven't 1098 00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:02,640 Speaker 1: got to your Middleoff mail back question yet, I'll bang 1099 00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:05,400 Speaker 1: out a bunch uh this week just on Instagram.
