WEBVTT - Hour 2 – Kirk D. Cousins, Giants on Hard Knocks

0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:03.559
<v Speaker 1>You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio Howard two.

0:00:05.280 --> 0:00:08.000
<v Speaker 2>On his Thursday Dan and the Dane's Dan Patrick Show.

0:00:08.119 --> 0:00:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Kirk Cousins Falcons quarterbacks. That an interesting couple of weeks.

0:00:13.039 --> 0:00:15.440
<v Speaker 2>What was it three weeks ago? We had the NFL Draft.

0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:19.840
<v Speaker 2>There are a lot of things that have happened. Kirk

0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:22.919
<v Speaker 2>Cousins watching the draft. How did he get the heads

0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:25.320
<v Speaker 2>up that they were going to take Michael Pennox junior?

0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:28.760
<v Speaker 2>And how did that go over? He'll join us coming

0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:32.159
<v Speaker 2>up here a little bit. Dan Orlovsky analysts with the Mothership.

0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:35.440
<v Speaker 2>He'll stop by as we look at the NFL schedule.

0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:39.360
<v Speaker 2>The full schedule dropped last night. Selda's close out the Calves.

0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:41.760
<v Speaker 2>They await the winner of the Knicks and the Pacers

0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 2>could be the last game for Donovan Mitchell. His one

0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:47.280
<v Speaker 2>year left on his contract, and now it's a case

0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:50.000
<v Speaker 2>of if they were going to sign an extension, they

0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:53.640
<v Speaker 2>probably would have in Cleveland. Now it might be I

0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:56.160
<v Speaker 2>can just play out this last year and then I

0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:58.200
<v Speaker 2>can leave on my own, or do you want to

0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:02.160
<v Speaker 2>trade me? And I'm sure you're there's not gonna be

0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:06.240
<v Speaker 2>a shortage of suitors for Donovan Mitchell. Mavericks win at

0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:08.679
<v Speaker 2>the Thunder, they go up three games to two. Give

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 2>credit to Luca. Luca played great also at a big

0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 2>defensive play at the very end, and he finished with

0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:19.679
<v Speaker 2>thirty one, eleven and ten. He has three triple doubles

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:23.240
<v Speaker 2>this postseason, most in the NBA. And the Thunder, we're

0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 2>held to ninety two. You're at home. This is your

0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 2>lowest point total of the past two seasons. That's regular

0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:35.480
<v Speaker 2>season and postseason combined, ninety two points. And it's stat

0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 2>of the day, stat of the day, that bust, stat

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 2>of the day, stat of the day. Here comes that

0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 2>what stat of the day? Ninety two points at the

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.720
<v Speaker 2>worst possible time, because you have to win this game.

0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 2>You give credit to Dallas, give credit to Luca. And

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:58.160
<v Speaker 2>now they go home. Now they can close out this

0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:02.800
<v Speaker 2>series and perhaps to face the Denver Nuggets. Now the

0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:06.360
<v Speaker 2>Nuggets are on the road tonight in Minnesota. They are

0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 2>a slight underdog in this game. But Boston Celtics looked

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 2>great last night, and everybody still says the same thing.

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 2>Let's wait till they get back to the NBA Finals.

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 2>They can get some rest, not that they need the rest.

0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 2>Cleveland was outmanned injuries, and they still have a nice nucleus.

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.160
<v Speaker 2>I just don't think they can keep it together now.

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if Donovan Mitchell looks at this nucleus

0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:36.239
<v Speaker 2>the way I do and goes all right, Darius Garland,

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:39.760
<v Speaker 2>he can get you twenty, Evan Mobley, Jared Allen, those

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:43.200
<v Speaker 2>are good big men here. Now can we fill out

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 2>this roster? Because Mitchell is a wonderful player. I just

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 2>don't know if he looks at this situation as it

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:53.480
<v Speaker 2>was temporary. I think people thought that it was temporary

0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 2>when that deal was made and he went to Cleveland. Now,

0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:02.520
<v Speaker 2>who's going to be interested? Brian Winhorn said, Miami, Brooklyn,

0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:06.160
<v Speaker 2>you'll have to throw in the Lakers, of course for clicks.

0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:09.920
<v Speaker 2>But Donovan Mitchell might have played his last game, and

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 2>I wonder if he needs surgery, because I'll go back

0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:16.720
<v Speaker 2>earlier in the week with what I was told that

0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.760
<v Speaker 2>the calf injury was more serious and he more than

0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 2>likely he wasn't going to play the rest of the playoffs,

0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.560
<v Speaker 2>and he sat out the last two games, and I

0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:27.920
<v Speaker 2>was told that it might be a little more serious

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:31.639
<v Speaker 2>than that. All right, so you got PJA Championship going

0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:35.720
<v Speaker 2>on beautiful day in Louisville, Kentucky at Valhalla. We'll give

0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:37.560
<v Speaker 2>you an update on the leaderboard here in a moment,

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:40.280
<v Speaker 2>but Nuggets at the Timberwolves coming up tonight. In case

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:45.120
<v Speaker 2>you're wondering, according to DraftKings, Anthony Edwards over under is

0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 2>the same as Nikola Jokich over under Marvin you want

0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:49.520
<v Speaker 2>to guess.

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:51.960
<v Speaker 3>Twenty nine and a half bloo blue blue.

0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 2>What Here's really the key for me is Karl Anthony

0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 2>Towns over under. Like, I think this is what this

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.320
<v Speaker 2>game hinges on. If Minnesota's gonna win, you gotta have

0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Karl Anthony town step up, because Denver's gonna do that.

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:10.920
<v Speaker 2>They're gonna have the same philosophy. Now, I don't know

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:12.560
<v Speaker 2>if Mike Conley is going to be able to play,

0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.400
<v Speaker 2>but if not, or he's not one hundred percent, then

0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Edward's going to be handling the ball and they're

0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.600
<v Speaker 2>going to just send a double team his way and

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.880
<v Speaker 2>have somebody else beat them. Plus you're going to have

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.320
<v Speaker 2>your big men rotating on the Joker. Do you realize

0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:31.960
<v Speaker 2>there were three consecutive plays by Joker last game where

0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 2>he went against three different seven footers and scored. So

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:41.600
<v Speaker 2>he scored against Rudy and the Go Bears, Karl Anthony

0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:46.960
<v Speaker 2>Towns and then Read as well. So he went back

0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:49.680
<v Speaker 2>to back to back, three different plays against three different

0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:53.920
<v Speaker 2>big men and scored in three different ways. Yes, Marvin, this.

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:55.920
<v Speaker 4>Run is starting to feel like a team in ninety

0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.279
<v Speaker 4>four to ninety five. Okay, well, just for a stretch

0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:00.800
<v Speaker 4>he was like just unstoppable. I mean great the rest

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.760
<v Speaker 4>of their careers too, but just for that point, like

0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 4>they're winning it and.

0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.400
<v Speaker 2>There's no asterisk here where you go. Well, Jordan wasn't

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:11.919
<v Speaker 2>playing then and team got his two titles. You just

0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 2>have you know, Joker, He's at the right place at

0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.960
<v Speaker 2>the right time. Because you have young players who don't

0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:20.520
<v Speaker 2>have great teams or they're not ready for this moment,

0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:24.480
<v Speaker 2>and you have your older players who are older. You know,

0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 2>Lebron is out and Steph's out and Kd's out. He's

0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.240
<v Speaker 2>got this window of opportunity. Now you do have the

0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:33.479
<v Speaker 2>Boston Celtics will probably meet you in the finals. They've

0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.119
<v Speaker 2>been there before. They do have a really good team.

0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:40.800
<v Speaker 2>They have a couple of really good players stars. But

0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:42.839
<v Speaker 2>we want to see them again on the big stage

0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:45.440
<v Speaker 2>because last time we saw them, they didn't act like

0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 2>they were ready for that moment. Our two pole questions

0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Seaton O'Connor. I think we're going to go with who

0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.960
<v Speaker 2>you got this weekend? Scotty Scheffler of the Field. Why not?

0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:55.400
<v Speaker 3>Right?

0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:59.239
<v Speaker 5>Okay, it could be fun see if he's really getting

0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:01.320
<v Speaker 5>the field treatment just yet.

0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:03.960
<v Speaker 2>This is the first time I think we've done Scotty

0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:05.080
<v Speaker 2>versus the Field.

0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:06.280
<v Speaker 5>I can't think of another time.

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think so, it's like we're it's a big moment.

0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:11.520
<v Speaker 5>I'll tell you that we should mark this down.

0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:15.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like we're doing it kind of begrudgingly, like gosh,

0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:18.920
<v Speaker 2>how dare we do that to Tiger that we put

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Scotty in there? But I mean the numbers show that

0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:29.920
<v Speaker 2>he is worthy of this. His wife finally had her baby,

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:32.560
<v Speaker 2>by the way, that was a month after the Masters.

0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:35.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, the way it was kind of portrayed was,

0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, if he's having she's having the baby, goes

0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 2>into labor, and he's walking up eighteen he's leaving. I'm like,

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:46.360
<v Speaker 2>she finally had the baby. It's like, oh, okay, congratulations.

0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Made it seem like it was imminent. Uh So he's

0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:54.600
<v Speaker 2>he's the odds on favorite, and then it's Rory uh,

0:06:55.240 --> 0:07:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Xander Shoftley, my pick Brooks Koepka, and then John Rung.

0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:04.200
<v Speaker 2>So do you have a leaderboard there, Paulie.

0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:07.320
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I got early Tiger he's plus one after six

0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:11.560
<v Speaker 6>holes doing well. Some people are scoring early. Xander Shopley

0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:16.239
<v Speaker 6>three under, Victor Hobland he's making a little comeback lately,

0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:20.440
<v Speaker 6>three under, Jordan Spieth three under, and Rory McElroy two under.

0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, oh wow. I played that golf course many years

0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:30.840
<v Speaker 2>ago and I didn't do well, but you know, it's

0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 2>one of those where you're like, I'm playing where they're

0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:38.040
<v Speaker 2>going to have the PGA Championship and it was beautiful

0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 2>golf course. Sometimes, like I played Pinehurst number two, one

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.800
<v Speaker 2>of the great courses in the world. Hated it, but

0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:50.520
<v Speaker 2>it's because like it beat me up. There's certain golf

0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:53.560
<v Speaker 2>courses you play and you go, this isn't any fun,

0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.640
<v Speaker 2>and Pinehurst number two not any fun. It was just

0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:02.400
<v Speaker 2>so tough. And the greens in Pinehurst are like if

0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:05.240
<v Speaker 2>a turtle is out there and you know there's a

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:08.880
<v Speaker 2>flagstip stick on top of the turtle's shell because if

0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:10.840
<v Speaker 2>you don't get it up there and keep it on

0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:13.600
<v Speaker 2>there like the greens just roll off like that. It's

0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:16.560
<v Speaker 2>like they buried, you know, big turtles up there. And

0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:20.720
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't fun at all. Got absolutely roughed up and

0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:24.160
<v Speaker 2>it was hot, and I'm just like God, this is

0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 2>this is work and expensive too. You know, like pebble,

0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:32.080
<v Speaker 2>you can have a bad round. You can't have a

0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:36.960
<v Speaker 2>bad day. Not possible. I don't care if there's rain,

0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:41.040
<v Speaker 2>if there's mist or fog, or when I've played it

0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:43.719
<v Speaker 2>it's been sunny. But you know, that's that's just one

0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:46.200
<v Speaker 2>of those great courses no matter what. You get an

0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:50.600
<v Speaker 2>opportunity play pebble. It's expensive, but play it, and if

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.800
<v Speaker 2>you can stay there, do it. It's a wonderful experience there.

0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:56.319
<v Speaker 2>All right, some phone calls here and then we'll take

0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 2>a break. Kirk Cousins, we'll join us. Coming up, Paul

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:01.920
<v Speaker 2>and Iowa. Hi, Paul, what's on your mind today?

0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:03.920
<v Speaker 7>Hey? Dan?

0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:07.280
<v Speaker 8>First, the Packers over ten and a half is free money.

0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.400
<v Speaker 8>But I have two quick questions for you about the

0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:14.320
<v Speaker 8>NFL schedule this year. The first question is Jet's open

0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:17.360
<v Speaker 8>the season in primetime again, so what we see Rogers

0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:20.319
<v Speaker 8>run out with the flag again? And then My second

0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:25.120
<v Speaker 8>question is what are the books doing by putting the

0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:27.080
<v Speaker 8>Steelers at eight and a half. Do they want us

0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:30.480
<v Speaker 8>to bet on Tomlin Street to continue or bet on

0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:32.440
<v Speaker 8>how hard their schedule is this year?

0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:35.320
<v Speaker 2>I think you bet on Mike Tomlin. But I was

0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:39.359
<v Speaker 2>surprised at that. Thank you, Paul. You got the Cowboys

0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:42.360
<v Speaker 2>I think at ten and a half wins Packers at

0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:45.080
<v Speaker 2>ten and a half. I mean, usually you're getting that.

0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of teams in that nine to eleven,

0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:53.440
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, you start to look at this. Mike Tomlin

0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:55.960
<v Speaker 2>always has a winning record, but that's a tough schedule

0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.480
<v Speaker 2>and we just don't know how good Russell Wilson's going

0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:03.560
<v Speaker 2>to be. That really is what it comes down to.

0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:07.480
<v Speaker 2>But he's got to be better than Kenny Pickett, wouldn't

0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 2>you think. And I still love that you got Justin

0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.120
<v Speaker 2>Fields there warming up in the bullpen or that he

0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:16.520
<v Speaker 2>can give you a different look. I'm in the minority,

0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:20.160
<v Speaker 2>but I still like Justin Fields as a starting quarterback

0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:23.840
<v Speaker 2>in the NFL. I think if he had consistent coaching,

0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:28.240
<v Speaker 2>offensive coordinator and you actually had some weapons there, because

0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.960
<v Speaker 2>he went into Chicago and they basically said, I don't

0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:35.400
<v Speaker 2>know going out there. Hey, run around? Didn't that what

0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:40.720
<v Speaker 2>you do? Well? I'm running around? Can I get some blockie?

0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:49.079
<v Speaker 2>Can I throw to somebody? Let me see Aiden in Utah, Hi, Aidan,

0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:50.160
<v Speaker 2>what's on your mind.

0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:55.080
<v Speaker 7>Yesterday? Yes? Aiden?

0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:02.920
<v Speaker 9>All right, I've been disappointed with your show last Tuday,

0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:04.520
<v Speaker 9>and there's one reason for that.

0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:05.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:08.480
<v Speaker 7>I have been waiting for you to.

0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Talk about the Dolphins backfield, and I have been disappointed

0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 1>last today.

0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Hayden, I did say I would in the final hour

0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:20.480
<v Speaker 2>on Thursday, I would spend the entire hour on the

0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins running back and their running game, their backfield. Okay.

0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:29.640
<v Speaker 2>So I didn't promise that yesterday, on my birthday or

0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:34.240
<v Speaker 2>the day before, but I did say, coming up Thursday,

0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:43.319
<v Speaker 2>the entire hour, we'll just talk about their backfield. Thank you, Aden.

0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:45.319
<v Speaker 2>I can hear him, Chuck one.

0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:49.240
<v Speaker 5>I mean, should we go over the guest list real quick?

0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:50.880
<v Speaker 5>If you want who do we want to get for

0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:54.520
<v Speaker 5>the backfield talk? Do you want an analyst? Do we

0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:56.120
<v Speaker 5>want a former player?

0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:59.560
<v Speaker 2>A couple of analysts? Probably? Yeah. I mean, let's just

0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:01.880
<v Speaker 2>havesk to say break this down. Get Chefty on here

0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Orlovsky can join us, maybe Dan Marino can join us.

0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Maybe Chad Penning and A J. Dewey, Jay Fiedler.

0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:14.960
<v Speaker 6>Former Dolphins running backs to help give respective all the

0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:19.840
<v Speaker 6>great Dolphin running backs. Let's get Reggie Reggie Bush. Reggie

0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:23.160
<v Speaker 6>Bush can join us, Ricky Williams can join us. It'll

0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:24.319
<v Speaker 6>be a final hour.

0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:32.720
<v Speaker 2>Letstravaganza. Mercury Morris, whoa, okay, Larry Zanka, and we'll get

0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:35.560
<v Speaker 2>all the great Dolphin running back I can't name that, No,

0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:40.040
<v Speaker 2>Bernie Parmally, whoa. I had a good poll by you,

0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:44.840
<v Speaker 2>So that's coming up in the final hour. I think

0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:47.400
<v Speaker 2>that I'd promise that. What happened was we had a

0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:50.520
<v Speaker 2>caller say, hey, can you break down the Dolphins running

0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:53.679
<v Speaker 2>back game? And I go, no, We'll do that Thursday

0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.600
<v Speaker 2>in the final hour. Adam and West Virginia High.

0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:58.640
<v Speaker 5>That's so funny too, by the way, sorry Adam to

0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:02.160
<v Speaker 5>cut you off, because one of our longest running punchlines

0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:04.400
<v Speaker 5>is like, okay, yeah, we'll just break down the Mariner's

0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:05.439
<v Speaker 5>bullpen next.

0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:07.640
<v Speaker 2>Just something we would never do.

0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:12.000
<v Speaker 5>But Dolphins running game randomly is very much like yeah,

0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:13.840
<v Speaker 5>an extension of the Mariner's bullpen.

0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:18.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna break down the Brewers'

0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:21.600
<v Speaker 2>bullpen coming up, I'll do that. It's like when somebody's listening,

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.959
<v Speaker 2>but they're not really listening. They have something they want answered.

0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:28.520
<v Speaker 2>So hey, this doesn't serve anybody but me. Could you

0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:31.760
<v Speaker 2>break down the Dolphins backfield? Hey, Adam, what's on your mind?

0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:36.199
<v Speaker 9>Actually, Dan, I'm a huge Dolphins fan, so you can

0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:41.240
<v Speaker 9>break it down in time you want that. KD. You

0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:45.080
<v Speaker 9>mentioned him possibly going to the Heat, But my thought was,

0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:48.160
<v Speaker 9>do you think the Knicks would be willing to make

0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:51.040
<v Speaker 9>an offer to somebody like KD? Considering they got Brunson,

0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:52.960
<v Speaker 9>this is the best they've been in a long time.

0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:56.880
<v Speaker 9>New York is actually attractive. For one, maybe they could

0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.840
<v Speaker 9>lure somebody like KD to give him that kind of

0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:02.960
<v Speaker 9>to be since Kd's kind of gone into the twilight

0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:05.040
<v Speaker 9>of his career. But do you think that would put

0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:08.040
<v Speaker 9>to get them enough to possibly take on someone like

0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:09.880
<v Speaker 9>the Celtics and make it to the finals.

0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:12.959
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if nothing's crazy, nothing's out of the question.

0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:16.920
<v Speaker 2>I just think that the Knicks kind of have that

0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:22.400
<v Speaker 2>nucleus or that mindset of what they want. KD changes

0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:26.320
<v Speaker 2>that when he comes in, because if he didn't like

0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:29.160
<v Speaker 2>what was going on in Phoenix, where you know you

0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:33.800
<v Speaker 2>had Bradley Beal and Booker getting a lot of touches

0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:35.800
<v Speaker 2>and he didn't know his role. He's going to go

0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:38.080
<v Speaker 2>there and he's going to watch Jalen Brunson just pound

0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:42.200
<v Speaker 2>the ball. But Miami, I don't know. Feels like all

0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:44.120
<v Speaker 2>of these guys want to go to Miami and I

0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:46.280
<v Speaker 2>don't have any insight on that. I just know that

0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:49.800
<v Speaker 2>he's not happy in Phoenix. Didn't talk to Frank Vogel

0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:53.000
<v Speaker 2>for a month and he's his head coach at least

0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:56.840
<v Speaker 2>not anymore. But what can you get for him? Where

0:14:56.840 --> 0:15:00.760
<v Speaker 2>does he want to go? New merchandise If you're watching

0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:05.520

<v Speaker 10>Podcast or wherever you get your podcast.

0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:30.160
<v Speaker 2>Three weeks ago today, we're thinking about the Falcons. Oh,

0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:34.720
<v Speaker 2>could they add another weapon, another receiver, Maybe they get

0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:38.520
<v Speaker 2>an edge rusher. They already had their quarterback, they got

0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:41.680
<v Speaker 2>their running back. They got a good tight end, a

0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:45.160
<v Speaker 2>good wide receiver. Defense could use some help. They plan

0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:48.920
<v Speaker 2>a bad division, and Kirk Cousin's coming off surgery but

0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:53.200
<v Speaker 2>going home where his wife is from. Everything was looking good.

0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:55.600
<v Speaker 2>And then all of a sudden, with the eighth pick

0:16:55.720 --> 0:17:00.680
<v Speaker 2>in the NFL Draft, the Falcons take Michael Pennix, Junior.

0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:04.359
<v Speaker 2>The schedule came out last night. The Falcons do have

0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:08.280
<v Speaker 2>one of the easiest schedules this upcoming season. So we

0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:11.920
<v Speaker 2>make way for the Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins, who joins

0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:16.520
<v Speaker 2>us on the program. Whoa look at that got the

0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:17.360
<v Speaker 2>guns out there.

0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:19.120
<v Speaker 11>Well, I haven't got under a bench president a very

0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:22.840
<v Speaker 11>long time. I got sophomore in college. My max was

0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:27.240
<v Speaker 11>I did two twenty five sixteen times, okay, And I

0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:29.679
<v Speaker 11>realized that it started to become a concern, Like the

0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:32.159
<v Speaker 11>more you lift as a quarterback, the more the NFL

0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:34.280
<v Speaker 11>coaches may think you're too stiff.

0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:36.480
<v Speaker 7>So then they kind of backed away from it.

0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Describe the emotions the last three plus weeks.

0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:46.520
<v Speaker 11>I mean, I'm excited. There's been a lot of change.

0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:48.320
<v Speaker 11>I think that's the biggest thing right now for me.

0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:51.520
<v Speaker 11>Is as one old teammate said to me, when you

0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:54.080
<v Speaker 11>go to a new team, nothing is on autopilot.

0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:55.560
<v Speaker 7>Nothing's on cruise control.

0:17:56.840 --> 0:18:00.040
<v Speaker 11>There's days where I miss lunch because I don't know

0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:03.320
<v Speaker 11>where the cafeteria is or I don't know when lunch ends.

0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:07.399
<v Speaker 11>And so everything is new, even like figuring out what

0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:11.560
<v Speaker 11>room can I use to watch film? And you know,

0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:15.440
<v Speaker 11>how do the lifts work. Everybody's new. Everything's new, and

0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:18.600
<v Speaker 11>so there's a lot of unknown and you're starting to

0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:20.679
<v Speaker 11>settle in, but a lot of change.

0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:23.280
<v Speaker 7>And that's part of what you sign up for.

0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:25.480
<v Speaker 11>I did it going from Washington, Minnesota and now again

0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:26.320
<v Speaker 11>coming to Atlanta.

0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Okay, but three weeks ago, how are your spirits?

0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:33.040
<v Speaker 11>Well, I mean my spirits have kind of always been

0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:39.040
<v Speaker 11>understanding that competition is a part of this job, this league.

0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:41.520
<v Speaker 11>I go back to my story, and you know my

0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:44.320
<v Speaker 11>story quite a bit, dam But in high school I

0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:47.280
<v Speaker 11>commit to Michigan State and a few weeks later, Mark

0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:49.439
<v Speaker 11>D'Antonio calls me to tell me that Nick Foles is

0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:51.160
<v Speaker 11>going to be offered a scholarship as well.

0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:54.080
<v Speaker 7>And I then looked.

0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:55.720
<v Speaker 11>Up what Nick Foles had done in high school, and

0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:58.719
<v Speaker 11>I thought he lived the movie Friday Night Lights. I mean,

0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:01.160
<v Speaker 11>he played in state championship games. He played in front

0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:04.560
<v Speaker 11>of you know, ten thousand plus CE crowds like this

0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:07.040
<v Speaker 11>is not my high school experience, So I'm in trouble.

0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:10.640
<v Speaker 7>But you learned that, Hey, we go to work.

0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:12.879
<v Speaker 11>We practice, we get better, we improved, We played a

0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:16.520
<v Speaker 11>long game, and you know, Nick and I were both

0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:19.760
<v Speaker 11>able to have long college careers and pro careers. Then

0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:21.959
<v Speaker 11>I go to Washington and it was a similar dynamic

0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:25.000
<v Speaker 11>where you realize there's a quarterback in the same draft

0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:27.200
<v Speaker 11>class as me here in this quarterback room.

0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:29.680
<v Speaker 7>What does that mean for our careers?

0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:32.840
<v Speaker 11>And you realize that, you know, both of us were

0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:35.320
<v Speaker 11>able to have productive careers in the sense that we

0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:38.680
<v Speaker 11>both played a lot of football. And then again, now

0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:43.000
<v Speaker 11>when you see us take a quarterback, you say, hey,

0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:45.840
<v Speaker 11>you know, this is more the norm than the exception,

0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:48.639
<v Speaker 11>and I would expect both of us to go on

0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:50.520
<v Speaker 11>to have, you know, great careers up ahead. You just

0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:52.600
<v Speaker 11>don't know how. That's the thing. You don't know how

0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:54.720
<v Speaker 11>it's going to play out. I didn't know how Nick

0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:56.840
<v Speaker 11>Foles and I were both going to have long pro careers.

0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:59.040
<v Speaker 11>I didn't know how Griff and I were going to

0:19:59.160 --> 0:20:02.560
<v Speaker 11>end up playing. But it all works out and I

0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:03.720
<v Speaker 11>think this will be no different.

0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:08.080
<v Speaker 2>I take me back to Minnesota. Did they tell you

0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:09.639
<v Speaker 2>they were going to draft a quarterback?

0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:14.000
<v Speaker 11>Well, they let me know, like pretty right before the pick.

0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:16.200
<v Speaker 11>But outside of that.

0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:19.639
<v Speaker 2>No, But if you had stayed there, were they still

0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:21.720
<v Speaker 2>going to go after JJ McCarthy.

0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:26.720
<v Speaker 11>Oh, I'm sorry, Sorry you were saying Minnesotaelkins. Yeah, I'm

0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:28.680
<v Speaker 11>trying to remember the conversations. You know, so much of

0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:31.320
<v Speaker 11>it was through my agent. No, it was very gray.

0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:33.120
<v Speaker 11>It was very you know, we don't know what we're

0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:35.439
<v Speaker 11>going to do. And speaking with Kevin O'Connell, who was

0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:40.840
<v Speaker 11>always you know, very communicative with me, it was, you know,

0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:42.720
<v Speaker 11>we're not we're not sure. He said, if we bring

0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:45.040
<v Speaker 11>you back, we'd love to use the draft picks on defense.

0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:50.159
<v Speaker 11>But you understand there nobody really knows in March what

0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:51.640
<v Speaker 11>they're going to do in late April.

0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:54.280
<v Speaker 2>But if you had known, if I gave you a

0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:57.160
<v Speaker 2>do over, you know, Minnesota's going to take JJ McCarthy,

0:20:57.200 --> 0:20:59.160
<v Speaker 2>and you know what Lanta is going to take Michael Pennox.

0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:01.040
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:03.880
<v Speaker 11>No, I just don't think it's helpful to deal on hypotheticals.

0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:06.399
<v Speaker 11>I mean, you can do that with any scenario at

0:21:06.400 --> 0:21:08.600
<v Speaker 11>any point in your career. If this, then what and

0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:11.920
<v Speaker 11>you can go down a lot of trails. But I'm

0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:14.720
<v Speaker 11>excited to be here in Atlanta, be the quarterback of

0:21:14.760 --> 0:21:17.480
<v Speaker 11>the Falcons. I think we've got a great opportunity to

0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:19.960
<v Speaker 11>win a lot of games here and have a lot

0:21:20.000 --> 0:21:21.240
<v Speaker 11>to look forward to up ahead.

0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:25.240
<v Speaker 2>So you're watching the draft and then you get a

0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:28.760
<v Speaker 2>heads up, what thirty seconds before the pick?

0:21:30.080 --> 0:21:31.760
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, maybe maybe a minute and a half.

0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:35.200
<v Speaker 2>You know, it wasn't much, Okay, are you at home

0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:36.480
<v Speaker 2>with the wife and kids.

0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:36.879
<v Speaker 7>I was.

0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:39.600
<v Speaker 11>I was at a draft function at the at the

0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:42.359
<v Speaker 11>stadium and I was driving back up to my house.

0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:44.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:45.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:21:45.640 --> 0:21:48.880
<v Speaker 2>So then you call your wife and you say, what.

0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:53.560
<v Speaker 11>Basically what the team told me that hey, they're gonna

0:21:53.560 --> 0:21:57.800
<v Speaker 11>be drafting a quarterback, And you know, I think again,

0:21:57.840 --> 0:21:59.680
<v Speaker 11>I'm just like, I'm kind of rehashing with you. I

0:21:59.760 --> 0:22:02.679
<v Speaker 11>remind and my wife, Hey, this is this is a

0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:05.639
<v Speaker 11>big part of my story, going back to when I

0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:07.680
<v Speaker 11>committed to Michigan State, going back to when I was

0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:11.840
<v Speaker 11>drafted to Washington, and it's always had a way of

0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:17.399
<v Speaker 11>working itself out, and so let's draw on past experience

0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:21.640
<v Speaker 11>to trust that the future you know, can be the same.

0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:27.680
<v Speaker 2>We're talking to Kirk Cousins, the Falcons quarterback. Yeah, if

0:22:27.720 --> 0:22:32.320
<v Speaker 2>the season started today, your role would be. What with

0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:32.720
<v Speaker 2>the team.

0:22:35.600 --> 0:22:41.399
<v Speaker 7>I believe I'm the starting quarterback, but health wise, oh yeah, no,

0:22:42.200 --> 0:22:43.159
<v Speaker 7>I'm I'm good to go.

0:22:43.440 --> 0:22:47.480
<v Speaker 11>I've told people for a while, uh that if the

0:22:47.520 --> 0:22:50.040
<v Speaker 11>super Bowl were today, I'm playing, And that goes back

0:22:50.080 --> 0:22:52.760
<v Speaker 11>probably I think when I first got here, I was

0:22:52.800 --> 0:22:54.880
<v Speaker 11>working out and we got maybe a week or two

0:22:54.960 --> 0:22:57.680
<v Speaker 11>into my rehab and I did some drills where I said, hey,

0:22:57.720 --> 0:23:01.359
<v Speaker 11>if the super Bowl were today, I'm playing, and they

0:23:01.720 --> 0:23:05.400
<v Speaker 11>seem to agree. So, you know, once that tendon gets

0:23:05.840 --> 0:23:09.080
<v Speaker 11>stabilized and healed and the tissue connects, you really just

0:23:09.119 --> 0:23:11.080
<v Speaker 11>are trying to work through telling your body that you're

0:23:11.080 --> 0:23:13.119
<v Speaker 11>good now because the brain still wants to guard and

0:23:13.119 --> 0:23:16.120
<v Speaker 11>protect and it takes some time. But I feel really

0:23:16.160 --> 0:23:18.600
<v Speaker 11>good and there's more to go get but I can operate.

0:23:18.640 --> 0:23:20.520
<v Speaker 11>I've been out practicing now, and I think that's a

0:23:20.520 --> 0:23:21.080
<v Speaker 11>great sign.

0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:24.960
<v Speaker 2>It feels like this was a death sentence a decade ago,

0:23:25.600 --> 0:23:28.320
<v Speaker 2>and now all of a sudden, the Achilles surgery is

0:23:28.760 --> 0:23:34.880
<v Speaker 2>something that Okay, Aaron Rodgers like, has that surgery changed

0:23:35.240 --> 0:23:38.240
<v Speaker 2>further surgeries for anybody who has an achilles injury.

0:23:38.880 --> 0:23:41.120
<v Speaker 11>I think maybe the ACL two has been similar where

0:23:41.240 --> 0:23:43.640
<v Speaker 11>where when Gail Sayers did it, it was a death

0:23:43.680 --> 0:23:45.679
<v Speaker 11>sentence to his career. But guys do it now and

0:23:45.680 --> 0:23:48.119
<v Speaker 11>they come back stronger. Adrian Peterson does it and you

0:23:48.160 --> 0:23:50.119
<v Speaker 11>know the next year runs for two thousand yards and

0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:51.360
<v Speaker 11>his offensive Player.

0:23:51.200 --> 0:23:53.600
<v Speaker 7>Of the Year. So you know.

0:23:53.600 --> 0:23:55.959
<v Speaker 11>I remember when my agent, after I did the injury,

0:23:55.960 --> 0:23:57.680
<v Speaker 11>we were talking and he said, look, this used to

0:23:57.720 --> 0:24:00.000
<v Speaker 11>be a twelve month injury. Now it's a nine month injury.

0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:02.359
<v Speaker 11>Some guys are coming back in seven to five months,

0:24:02.400 --> 0:24:04.800
<v Speaker 11>so he said. And plus he said, you're a pocket

0:24:04.840 --> 0:24:08.040
<v Speaker 11>passing quarterback. So this just is not This is not

0:24:08.160 --> 0:24:09.879
<v Speaker 11>the issue that it might be made out to be

0:24:09.880 --> 0:24:11.960
<v Speaker 11>in the media. It just won't be that, And it

0:24:12.040 --> 0:24:15.320
<v Speaker 11>is reality. And I think it's a credit to you know,

0:24:15.359 --> 0:24:18.359
<v Speaker 11>the medical advances and the rehab teams and what they're doing.

0:24:18.680 --> 0:24:21.280
<v Speaker 2>Well. I don't think you can run less than you

0:24:21.320 --> 0:24:23.720
<v Speaker 2>normally do, right.

0:24:23.640 --> 0:24:23.960
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I.

0:24:25.760 --> 0:24:30.320
<v Speaker 11>Have never been a like scrambling quarterback, so it shouldn't

0:24:30.320 --> 0:24:32.160
<v Speaker 11>really change the way I play, even if I were

0:24:32.200 --> 0:24:35.760
<v Speaker 11>to not heal fully, which I expect to. But no,

0:24:35.840 --> 0:24:37.920
<v Speaker 11>I expect to be the same player, if not maybe

0:24:37.960 --> 0:24:40.280
<v Speaker 11>a little more athletic because of how aggressive I'm going

0:24:40.359 --> 0:24:42.840
<v Speaker 11>in the rehab with calf raises and jumping and leg

0:24:42.880 --> 0:24:46.000
<v Speaker 11>presses and squats and things where maybe I wouldn't normally

0:24:46.040 --> 0:24:48.280
<v Speaker 11>be doing that. So I should have an even better

0:24:48.320 --> 0:24:51.800
<v Speaker 11>lower half than I've always played with. And speaking of

0:24:51.840 --> 0:24:54.520
<v Speaker 11>achilles injuries from the past, I when I first did it,

0:24:54.560 --> 0:24:57.000
<v Speaker 11>I went and looked up people like notable people who

0:24:57.040 --> 0:25:00.200
<v Speaker 11>have torn their achilles, and obviously recently was Aaron Rodgers,

0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:02.720
<v Speaker 11>it was Megan Rapino. But I realized there were some

0:25:02.800 --> 0:25:07.000
<v Speaker 11>names going way back, like obviously Dan Marino, like Judy Dench,

0:25:07.160 --> 0:25:11.720
<v Speaker 11>the actress and dancers he tore achilles. Brad Pitt, Russell Crowe,

0:25:11.760 --> 0:25:14.840
<v Speaker 11>George Clooney all tore their achilles. Al Gore Tor's achilles.

0:25:14.880 --> 0:25:17.400
<v Speaker 11>So I realized, like, there's a lot of people who

0:25:17.440 --> 0:25:19.760
<v Speaker 11>accomplish great things post achilles tear.

0:25:19.880 --> 0:25:21.280
<v Speaker 7>So I feel like I'm in good company.

0:25:21.359 --> 0:25:24.119
<v Speaker 2>Did you reach out to George Clooney or Brad Pitt

0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:25.200
<v Speaker 2>or Judy Dench?

0:25:25.840 --> 0:25:28.320
<v Speaker 11>Well, I reached out to Rogers, and I know he's

0:25:28.320 --> 0:25:30.720
<v Speaker 11>you know, Rogers has a little bit bigger platform than me, right,

0:25:30.840 --> 0:25:33.600
<v Speaker 11>So I said, he aarin. I said, you know, maybe

0:25:33.680 --> 0:25:35.719
<v Speaker 11>during Super Bowl week or something, we have like an

0:25:35.760 --> 0:25:38.919
<v Speaker 11>Achilles tear summit in Vegas where we get all the

0:25:39.040 --> 0:25:41.600
<v Speaker 11>heavy hitters together who have torn their achilles, and I

0:25:41.640 --> 0:25:44.560
<v Speaker 11>think with your contacts out there in California, we can

0:25:44.640 --> 0:25:48.159
<v Speaker 11>make something happen. So he seemed to agree, But we

0:25:48.240 --> 0:25:49.399
<v Speaker 11>just never really made it happen.

0:25:49.520 --> 0:25:51.679
<v Speaker 2>That'd be great if you've got all these actors that

0:25:51.800 --> 0:25:57.000
<v Speaker 2>came there, Rogers hosted the seminar, get the doctor in there, because.

0:25:56.760 --> 0:25:58.200
<v Speaker 7>There's still time. There's still time.

0:25:58.240 --> 0:26:01.400
<v Speaker 11>We could have an Achilles tear summit it and get

0:26:01.400 --> 0:26:03.240
<v Speaker 11>all the all the heavy hitters in one room.

0:26:03.280 --> 0:26:05.280
<v Speaker 7>I think you could make for a lot of great conversation.

0:26:05.480 --> 0:26:09.080
<v Speaker 2>How important was it to bring your family back home

0:26:09.119 --> 0:26:10.119
<v Speaker 2>for your your wife?

0:26:10.920 --> 0:26:13.640
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, my wife is somebody who if I told her, Hey,

0:26:13.680 --> 0:26:16.200
<v Speaker 11>I'm retiring tomorrow, she'd say, no problem. If I told

0:26:16.200 --> 0:26:18.400
<v Speaker 11>her I'm playing ten more years, she'd say no problem.

0:26:18.440 --> 0:26:20.720
<v Speaker 11>If I said we're playing in Japan, she'd say, great,

0:26:20.880 --> 0:26:24.280
<v Speaker 11>the boys can go learn Japanese. So she's kind of

0:26:24.320 --> 0:26:26.399
<v Speaker 11>up for whatever, up for the adventure. She loved the

0:26:26.440 --> 0:26:29.720
<v Speaker 11>Minnesota but the fact that we're coming to Atlanta for

0:26:29.760 --> 0:26:32.720
<v Speaker 11>her family, her parents, her siblings. They're huge sports fans,

0:26:32.800 --> 0:26:34.560
<v Speaker 11>lifelong Atlanta sports fans.

0:26:35.359 --> 0:26:35.560
<v Speaker 7>You know.

0:26:35.640 --> 0:26:37.359
<v Speaker 11>I think for them it's hard to even believe that

0:26:37.400 --> 0:26:40.120
<v Speaker 11>they have a family member now who's playing for the Falcons.

0:26:40.119 --> 0:26:40.960
<v Speaker 11>So that that's fun.

0:26:41.680 --> 0:26:43.280
<v Speaker 2>What'd you do with all your vikings gear?

0:26:44.560 --> 0:26:45.520
<v Speaker 7>What a great question.

0:26:46.800 --> 0:26:49.000
<v Speaker 11>We do have a lot of it, and we're putting

0:26:49.000 --> 0:26:51.800
<v Speaker 11>it in boxes and then mailing it back up to

0:26:51.880 --> 0:26:56.040
<v Speaker 11>like our next door neighbor, you know, other teammates, because

0:26:56.080 --> 0:26:58.000
<v Speaker 11>we have clothes for our kids and things where they're

0:26:58.160 --> 0:27:02.520
<v Speaker 11>you know, teammates kids can use. So we're trying to recycle,

0:27:02.560 --> 0:27:04.639
<v Speaker 11>if you will, the best we can, because we do

0:27:04.720 --> 0:27:07.680
<v Speaker 11>have a lot of purple and gold around and I've

0:27:07.680 --> 0:27:10.000
<v Speaker 11>had a lot of friends and family text me saying, man,

0:27:10.040 --> 0:27:12.360
<v Speaker 11>the only challenge is now we got to buy new jerseys,

0:27:12.440 --> 0:27:15.280
<v Speaker 11>new hats, new seatshirts, so it can get expensive changing

0:27:15.320 --> 0:27:17.760
<v Speaker 11>teams for your support support cast.

0:27:17.920 --> 0:27:20.520
<v Speaker 2>How many players do you know on the team if

0:27:20.520 --> 0:27:22.959
<v Speaker 2>they don't have their jerseys on or they're not standing

0:27:23.000 --> 0:27:23.760
<v Speaker 2>by their lockers.

0:27:24.080 --> 0:27:27.200
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, another great question. You know, we have ninety guys

0:27:27.200 --> 0:27:29.000
<v Speaker 11>in the locker room, so it's not like a basketball

0:27:29.000 --> 0:27:31.320
<v Speaker 11>team where if you learn twelve to fifteen names, you're good.

0:27:31.440 --> 0:27:35.840
<v Speaker 11>So I know the offense, and that's partly because that's

0:27:35.840 --> 0:27:38.320
<v Speaker 11>the group I'm with at the lifts and at the meetings.

0:27:38.560 --> 0:27:41.600
<v Speaker 11>It's the defense where it's harder for me because we

0:27:41.760 --> 0:27:43.880
<v Speaker 11>just brought in a whole new cast to rookies now

0:27:45.040 --> 0:27:48.480
<v Speaker 11>and I don't have as many shared times with the defense,

0:27:48.480 --> 0:27:50.000
<v Speaker 11>So I'm trying to learn names, but I still got

0:27:50.000 --> 0:27:51.600
<v Speaker 11>a ways to go. And even the coaching staffs, I

0:27:51.600 --> 0:27:54.320
<v Speaker 11>feel like support staff and coaching staffs have almost doubled

0:27:54.680 --> 0:27:55.080
<v Speaker 11>since my.

0:27:55.160 --> 0:27:56.240
<v Speaker 7>Rookie year in this league.

0:27:56.240 --> 0:27:59.000
<v Speaker 11>So there's a lot of support staff, which is great

0:27:59.000 --> 0:28:00.440
<v Speaker 11>to have the help, but it's a lot of names

0:28:00.440 --> 0:28:00.800
<v Speaker 11>to learn.

0:28:00.920 --> 0:28:02.840
<v Speaker 2>But are you one of those guys that hey Bud

0:28:03.400 --> 0:28:07.000
<v Speaker 2>like you like, yeah, Like what do you say when

0:28:07.040 --> 0:28:09.120
<v Speaker 2>you don't know who somebody is? But you don't want

0:28:09.160 --> 0:28:12.000
<v Speaker 2>to be like man, nothing even say a low to me,

0:28:12.119 --> 0:28:13.160
<v Speaker 2>like you gotta go hey.

0:28:13.040 --> 0:28:15.120
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, No doubt. I think I think there's a lot

0:28:15.119 --> 0:28:16.080
<v Speaker 7>of that, Dan, you get it.

0:28:16.119 --> 0:28:18.119
<v Speaker 11>I mean I'm walking across the field to day to

0:28:18.160 --> 0:28:20.640
<v Speaker 11>go to my next meeting and crossing the defense.

0:28:20.240 --> 0:28:24.520
<v Speaker 7>And it's Hey Bud, Hey, how you doing guy? You know,

0:28:24.680 --> 0:28:26.600
<v Speaker 7>so you have to do it, you do. Plus, if

0:28:26.640 --> 0:28:28.399
<v Speaker 7>I said to everybody, hey, what's your name? What's your name?

0:28:28.440 --> 0:28:28.880
<v Speaker 7>What's your name?

0:28:28.920 --> 0:28:30.639
<v Speaker 11>There's a good chance I forget it, you know, by

0:28:30.680 --> 0:28:32.960
<v Speaker 11>the time I get through the next lift. So it's

0:28:33.000 --> 0:28:36.480
<v Speaker 11>just a process. And uh, I haven't yet gone home

0:28:36.520 --> 0:28:39.560
<v Speaker 11>and like really tried to like study names with flash cards,

0:28:39.600 --> 0:28:41.360
<v Speaker 11>but it may be something I have to do if

0:28:41.400 --> 0:28:41.920
<v Speaker 11>it drags on.

0:28:42.160 --> 0:28:44.680
<v Speaker 2>How about name tags? Hello, my name is.

0:28:45.360 --> 0:28:47.920
<v Speaker 11>Name tags are a game changer. And at College Michigan

0:28:48.000 --> 0:28:51.280
<v Speaker 11>State Mark D'Antonio, it was mandatory at training camp no

0:28:51.320 --> 0:28:54.600
<v Speaker 11>matter who you were, you had to wear a tape

0:28:54.840 --> 0:28:56.880
<v Speaker 11>name on your helmet or on your shirt if you

0:28:56.880 --> 0:28:59.560
<v Speaker 11>were a coach. So even coach Dantonio had a you

0:28:59.560 --> 0:29:04.000
<v Speaker 11>know deal Coach Stantonio, nobody was immune. So that would

0:29:04.000 --> 0:29:05.920
<v Speaker 11>really help new guys certainly if we can just all

0:29:05.960 --> 0:29:07.040
<v Speaker 11>have name tags.

0:29:06.760 --> 0:29:10.400
<v Speaker 2>Before I let you go. You've you're a good businessman

0:29:10.640 --> 0:29:14.000
<v Speaker 2>or somebody you know as a good businessman because you

0:29:14.560 --> 0:29:20.920
<v Speaker 2>and Darrell Reves have had two unbelievably financial, great financial

0:29:21.000 --> 0:29:23.200
<v Speaker 2>careers making really good decisions.

0:29:23.880 --> 0:29:26.120
<v Speaker 7>No, I appreciate the kind words.

0:29:26.200 --> 0:29:28.880
<v Speaker 11>It really goes back to my agent, Mike McCartney, I

0:29:28.960 --> 0:29:30.520
<v Speaker 11>just kind of did what he told me over the

0:29:30.640 --> 0:29:33.960
<v Speaker 11>last twelve years. I remember when Joe Flacco was playing

0:29:33.960 --> 0:29:36.560
<v Speaker 11>in the Super Bowl my rookie year. I didn't know

0:29:36.600 --> 0:29:39.040
<v Speaker 11>anything about contracts or how the league works, and my

0:29:39.160 --> 0:29:41.800
<v Speaker 11>agent in New Orleans the week of the game explained

0:29:41.800 --> 0:29:44.480
<v Speaker 11>to me Joe's situation now he was going to be

0:29:44.520 --> 0:29:47.720
<v Speaker 11>a free agent, that the franchise tag is something that

0:29:47.760 --> 0:29:50.200
<v Speaker 11>a team would use, that it's probably in Joe's best

0:29:50.200 --> 0:29:54.160
<v Speaker 11>interest to be tagged, play on that tag twice, and

0:29:54.240 --> 0:29:56.680
<v Speaker 11>then go to the market. And me explained this whole path,

0:29:56.800 --> 0:29:59.720
<v Speaker 11>not knowing that in four years, three years from that moment,

0:30:00.240 --> 0:30:02.560
<v Speaker 11>we would be living out that path. And so my

0:30:02.600 --> 0:30:04.720
<v Speaker 11>agent explained to me. Then when it came our turn,

0:30:05.440 --> 0:30:08.120
<v Speaker 11>he said, unless we can do a fully guaranteed contract

0:30:08.160 --> 0:30:11.400
<v Speaker 11>over three years, we will just play on the franchise tag,

0:30:11.440 --> 0:30:13.280
<v Speaker 11>and so that was what was offered, that was what

0:30:13.360 --> 0:30:16.080
<v Speaker 11>was explained. The team chose not to do that. We

0:30:16.080 --> 0:30:18.760
<v Speaker 11>played on the two franchise tags, then went to the market,

0:30:19.000 --> 0:30:21.400
<v Speaker 11>and then we did a three year, fully guaranteed contract.

0:30:21.480 --> 0:30:23.800
<v Speaker 11>So I pretty much just did what Mike McCartney told me.

0:30:24.520 --> 0:30:27.560
<v Speaker 11>His wisdom proved to be true, and I've just kind

0:30:27.560 --> 0:30:29.760
<v Speaker 11>of followed his hit him every step of the way,

0:30:29.800 --> 0:30:32.000
<v Speaker 11>and we'll see where it.

0:30:31.920 --> 0:30:34.280
<v Speaker 7>Goes from here, he joked. When we signed with the Falcons.

0:30:34.320 --> 0:30:36.640
<v Speaker 11>As he was leaving the building, he said to the staff,

0:30:36.680 --> 0:30:38.680
<v Speaker 11>he said, we'll see you guys in three years of

0:30:38.760 --> 0:30:41.840
<v Speaker 11>the ex I thought it was a good line, So

0:30:42.560 --> 0:30:44.560
<v Speaker 11>we'll see if you know where it goes from here.

0:30:44.960 --> 0:30:47.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, you're you're able to go out and buy another minivan,

0:30:47.760 --> 0:30:50.960
<v Speaker 2>and really, that's that's your quality of life, isn't it.

0:30:51.000 --> 0:30:52.880
<v Speaker 2>That is that your big splurge that you get a

0:30:52.920 --> 0:30:54.040
<v Speaker 2>minivan for the family.

0:30:54.560 --> 0:30:56.200
<v Speaker 11>You know, I've kind of been known as a guy

0:30:56.240 --> 0:31:00.239
<v Speaker 11>who's pretty cheap, and I will say that I I

0:31:00.280 --> 0:31:03.480
<v Speaker 11>do have a bit of a like everything I spend

0:31:03.520 --> 0:31:07.080
<v Speaker 11>on has to have like usefulness has to have utility.

0:31:07.200 --> 0:31:09.720
<v Speaker 11>So if a conversion bank ca and have utility for

0:31:09.800 --> 0:31:11.840
<v Speaker 11>my family, I'm going to get a nice conversion van.

0:31:12.840 --> 0:31:14.600
<v Speaker 11>But yeah, like when people say, oh, are you gonna

0:31:14.640 --> 0:31:18.200
<v Speaker 11>get some chains? Are you gonna get an awesome sports car,

0:31:18.320 --> 0:31:20.160
<v Speaker 11>it's like, well, the utility.

0:31:19.800 --> 0:31:21.320
<v Speaker 7>Is not really there, so it's hard for me to

0:31:21.360 --> 0:31:22.479
<v Speaker 7>get excited about it.

0:31:22.560 --> 0:31:25.680
<v Speaker 11>But yeah, I mean, I don't want the narrative be

0:31:25.720 --> 0:31:27.920
<v Speaker 11>that I don't spend money, because, believe me, I've flown

0:31:27.960 --> 0:31:30.320
<v Speaker 11>in a private jet before. You know, I've done some

0:31:30.400 --> 0:31:32.680
<v Speaker 11>nice things. I bought a golf course in my hometown.

0:31:32.800 --> 0:31:35.320
<v Speaker 11>So you know, when there's utility or I see a

0:31:35.360 --> 0:31:37.800
<v Speaker 11>reason to do it, I'll write the check just like

0:31:37.840 --> 0:31:41.280
<v Speaker 11>anybody else. But I also can get pretty cheap if

0:31:41.320 --> 0:31:42.560
<v Speaker 11>I don't see the utility in it.

0:31:43.760 --> 0:31:46.240
<v Speaker 2>Great to talk to you, Good luck again with the rehab,

0:31:46.320 --> 0:31:48.960
<v Speaker 2>and hopefully we'll check in with you when you start

0:31:48.960 --> 0:31:49.760
<v Speaker 2>the season. Thank you.

0:31:50.400 --> 0:31:53.400
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, great catching up always good to see. It takes

0:31:53.440 --> 0:31:55.120
<v Speaker 11>me back even to my college days and we've had

0:31:55.120 --> 0:31:58.200
<v Speaker 11>our first interviews. And happy birthday to you and excited

0:31:58.240 --> 0:31:59.440

<v Speaker 2>Thank you a bun Kirk d Cousins. I got the

0:32:03.480 --> 0:32:07.520
<v Speaker 2>over under according to DraftKings for the Falcons. Now they

0:32:19.000 --> 0:32:25.560
<v Speaker 2>all right, there's a couple of surprises in here. How

0:32:25.560 --> 0:32:29.320
<v Speaker 2>about the Bengals over under? So this just came out

0:32:29.440 --> 0:32:33.000
<v Speaker 2>after the schedule release last night. So now we have

0:32:33.040 --> 0:32:34.840
<v Speaker 2>an idea. We know who you're playing. Now, we know

0:32:34.880 --> 0:32:38.080
<v Speaker 2>when you're playing them, and you know when your bye

0:32:38.080 --> 0:32:41.080

<v Speaker 2>it like at the end of the season, Todd, Bengals

0:32:43.720 --> 0:32:47.560
<v Speaker 2>over under ten and a half. Did you look at this?

0:32:47.680 --> 0:32:49.640
<v Speaker 3>I did not. I figured they got to be just

0:32:49.720 --> 0:32:51.360
<v Speaker 3>maybe one better than what Atlanta's is.

0:32:51.440 --> 0:32:55.120

0:34:40.960 --> 0:34:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Saw this story about what USC paid Lincoln Riley, their

0:34:45.160 --> 0:34:49.640
<v Speaker 2>head football coach twenty twenty two. This according to USA Today,

0:34:50.239 --> 0:34:54.680
<v Speaker 2>Lincoln Riley, who left Oklahoma to go to USC, made

0:34:54.719 --> 0:34:57.360
<v Speaker 2>almost ten million dollars in his first year at USC.

0:34:58.160 --> 0:35:02.880
<v Speaker 2>The university also spent almost ten million dollars related to

0:35:03.120 --> 0:35:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Riley's buyout and taxis. They paid one of their coaches

0:35:09.480 --> 0:35:13.880
<v Speaker 2>nearly two million dollars and there was also a buyout

0:35:13.880 --> 0:35:16.360
<v Speaker 2>that they had to pay Clay Helton. They had to

0:35:16.360 --> 0:35:20.040
<v Speaker 2>pay him nearly four million dollars in severn. So they

0:35:20.120 --> 0:35:24.160
<v Speaker 2>spent twenty eight million dollars in twenty twenty two on

0:35:24.239 --> 0:35:25.280

<v Speaker 2>the Giants are going to be It's Hard Knocks with

0:35:49.560 --> 0:35:51.439
<v Speaker 2>the New York Giants. They're not going to be good

0:35:51.440 --> 0:35:53.920
<v Speaker 2>this year. They're not interesting this year. They are in

0:35:54.000 --> 0:35:57.480
<v Speaker 2>New York. But it's the off season with the New

0:35:57.560 --> 0:36:01.160
<v Speaker 2>York Giants. It's not even training camp with the Giants. Now.

0:36:01.200 --> 0:36:04.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what storylines because normally when we tuned

0:36:04.120 --> 0:36:07.799
<v Speaker 2>into Hard Knocks, you always fell in love with a

0:36:07.840 --> 0:36:12.319
<v Speaker 2>player or players. Their wife could be pregnant. You know,

0:36:12.360 --> 0:36:15.280
<v Speaker 2>they're hanging on by a thread. Maybe if they perform

0:36:15.320 --> 0:36:17.800
<v Speaker 2>well in a preseason game, they might make the roster,

0:36:18.440 --> 0:36:22.960
<v Speaker 2>and then they fumble or they get beat for a touchdown,

0:36:23.920 --> 0:36:27.200
<v Speaker 2>and then all of a sudden, we go no Tommy's

0:36:27.200 --> 0:36:30.600
<v Speaker 2>gonna get cut, and then Tommy goes in to see

0:36:30.640 --> 0:36:33.200
<v Speaker 2>the coach and the coach goes, ah, there's no good

0:36:33.200 --> 0:36:35.719
<v Speaker 2>way to say this. I'm going to have to let

0:36:35.760 --> 0:36:38.000
<v Speaker 2>you go. But you know what, this could be a

0:36:38.000 --> 0:36:41.200
<v Speaker 2>good thing for you. That's what we tuned in to watch.

0:36:41.400 --> 0:36:43.759
<v Speaker 2>You weren't watching to see the big names because for

0:36:43.800 --> 0:36:48.600
<v Speaker 2>the most part, unless it was JJ Watt or Tim Tebow,

0:36:49.160 --> 0:36:53.080
<v Speaker 2>they weren't prominently featured. The stars didn't want to be

0:36:54.120 --> 0:36:58.600
<v Speaker 2>and the team gets editorial control here and I was asking, Paulie,

0:36:59.320 --> 0:37:03.240
<v Speaker 2>are you allowed to cut players on TV? On Hard Knocks?

0:37:03.280 --> 0:37:05.759
<v Speaker 2>Do they allow you to do that anymore? Yeah, paul.

0:37:06.080 --> 0:37:07.399
<v Speaker 2>I can't find anything.

0:37:07.120 --> 0:37:09.320
<v Speaker 6>That the that HBO got rid of it, because you

0:37:09.320 --> 0:37:11.200
<v Speaker 6>couldn't imagine HBO would want to get rid of that

0:37:12.040 --> 0:37:14.080
<v Speaker 6>to be friendly, that's the hook of the show. I

0:37:14.080 --> 0:37:16.640
<v Speaker 6>can't find anything that the NFL directed HBO or the

0:37:16.680 --> 0:37:18.760
<v Speaker 6>team's not do it. I can only find an Adam

0:37:18.840 --> 0:37:22.239
<v Speaker 6>Chef report from last year that said the Jets said

0:37:22.280 --> 0:37:25.280
<v Speaker 6>we're going to limit access to player cuts for HBO,

0:37:26.040 --> 0:37:29.200
<v Speaker 6>and shockingly HBO went along with it. They should have

0:37:29.200 --> 0:37:30.680
<v Speaker 6>said no go, but they didn't.

0:37:30.920 --> 0:37:33.040
<v Speaker 2>So that is there won't be any cuts.

0:37:33.080 --> 0:37:35.880
<v Speaker 6>Obviously with the New York Giants, there's another version of

0:37:35.880 --> 0:37:37.759
<v Speaker 6>Hard Knocks that's gonna be in season this year and

0:37:37.760 --> 0:37:40.120
<v Speaker 6>they're gonna focus on a division that's still to be announced.

0:37:40.840 --> 0:37:43.920
<v Speaker 6>But it's like, it's like Chick fil A get rid

0:37:43.920 --> 0:37:47.440
<v Speaker 6>of chicken sandwiches. It's Hard Knocks as hook and that

0:37:47.520 --> 0:37:50.399
<v Speaker 6>made it cringe worthy and watch The reason you watch

0:37:50.480 --> 0:37:51.520
<v Speaker 6>it was that was a big part.

0:37:51.600 --> 0:37:55.279
<v Speaker 2>But has it outlived its usefulness because it gave us

0:37:55.280 --> 0:37:57.520
<v Speaker 2>a glimpse into what it's like. And you're trying to,

0:37:58.000 --> 0:38:00.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, hold on and get a job, and you're

0:38:00.560 --> 0:38:03.560
<v Speaker 2>a long shot and you're playing guitar in your your

0:38:03.719 --> 0:38:06.360
<v Speaker 2>dorm room and all of a sudden, coach calls and

0:38:06.400 --> 0:38:08.239
<v Speaker 2>you got to bring your playbook and then we go,

0:38:08.320 --> 0:38:13.680
<v Speaker 2>oh no. We sort of tuned in for that. It

0:38:13.719 --> 0:38:16.480
<v Speaker 2>was formulaic and we were fine with it. Now all

0:38:16.520 --> 0:38:19.600
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden, it's like taking away the encore of

0:38:19.640 --> 0:38:21.560
<v Speaker 2>a band that you're going to go see. By the way,

0:38:21.560 --> 0:38:23.680
<v Speaker 2>they're not going to play their hits. You're gonna get

0:38:23.680 --> 0:38:26.080
<v Speaker 2>to see them, but they're not playing those four songs

0:38:26.160 --> 0:38:26.760
<v Speaker 2>in the encore.

0:38:26.840 --> 0:38:34.400
<v Speaker 5>This is the hundredth season, the hundred on the Giant

0:38:34.680 --> 0:38:38.280
<v Speaker 5>one hundred, Yes, the season.

0:38:38.640 --> 0:38:42.280
<v Speaker 2>One hundredth is a tough word to They've been playing

0:38:42.280 --> 0:38:48.120
<v Speaker 2>football for one hundred years, and it feels like a thousand, Yes, Todd.

0:38:48.320 --> 0:38:50.120
<v Speaker 3>There's also a lot of been there, done that moment

0:38:50.200 --> 0:38:52.040
<v Speaker 3>where the rookie gets up and sings a song in

0:38:52.040 --> 0:38:53.920
<v Speaker 3>front of the group in the auditorium. It's like, how

0:38:53.920 --> 0:38:56.960
<v Speaker 3>many different scenarios are there at some point after you know,

0:38:57.120 --> 0:38:57.759
<v Speaker 3>we've seen a.

0:38:57.680 --> 0:39:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Lot of kids. I'm okay with that, and the Lions

0:39:00.680 --> 0:39:02.520
<v Speaker 2>did it. I was okay with that. I thought it

0:39:02.560 --> 0:39:07.640
<v Speaker 2>was entertaining, but I'm not I love the banter that

0:39:07.680 --> 0:39:12.200
<v Speaker 2>you have sometimes, you know, had coaches and offensive coach,

0:39:12.239 --> 0:39:14.839
<v Speaker 2>defensive court coach, they'd be drawn at each other during

0:39:14.840 --> 0:39:18.480
<v Speaker 2>a scrimmage and you would have somebody who had an

0:39:18.520 --> 0:39:22.400
<v Speaker 2>interesting storyline. I just I don't know what the off

0:39:22.480 --> 0:39:25.719
<v Speaker 2>season is like. You know, with the Giants, where you

0:39:25.760 --> 0:39:29.799
<v Speaker 2>go that's going to be compelling in season, okay, But

0:39:30.480 --> 0:39:33.479
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know with the Cardinals in season last year?

0:39:34.680 --> 0:39:35.359
<v Speaker 2>Do we even know?

0:39:35.800 --> 0:39:38.680
<v Speaker 5>Fourth of July is on the horizon, But already preparations

0:39:38.719 --> 0:39:40.800
<v Speaker 5>have begun for the Giants one hundred season.

0:39:42.360 --> 0:39:42.920
<v Speaker 6>Sprinklish.

0:39:43.320 --> 0:39:45.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, oh yeah, you always have to sprinklish.

0:39:45.160 --> 0:39:47.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, somebody's walking into the office.

0:39:47.880 --> 0:39:50.759
<v Speaker 2>Hey, good morning, everybody. Let's get to work today, all right.

0:39:51.640 --> 0:39:54.759
<v Speaker 4>Yes, Colle's girlfriend helping the new rookie move into their

0:39:54.800 --> 0:39:55.279
<v Speaker 4>new born.

0:39:55.440 --> 0:39:58.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she's gonna get kicked to the curbs, so for sure.

0:39:58.840 --> 0:40:01.920
<v Speaker 4>And then on the other hand, there's the wife pregnant

0:40:01.960 --> 0:40:04.760
<v Speaker 4>with baby number three and it's a free agent corner

0:40:04.880 --> 0:40:07.000
<v Speaker 4>or free agent d n you know, you know, I

0:40:07.160 --> 0:40:10.120
<v Speaker 4>have this new miracle coming and then learning from.

0:40:10.000 --> 0:40:13.319
<v Speaker 5>A knee injury though, and they're like, I don't know, And.

0:40:13.360 --> 0:40:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Then they show them in the stands. You know, mom

0:40:16.640 --> 0:40:19.160
<v Speaker 2>is there with the two little ones, probably her mother

0:40:19.280 --> 0:40:22.279
<v Speaker 2>is there to help out, and you're watching and all

0:40:22.280 --> 0:40:27.239
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden, every moment you live vicariously through her. Yes, Mark, I.

0:40:27.239 --> 0:40:30.560
<v Speaker 4>Remember vividly Victor Cruz. So they were doing the hard

0:40:30.640 --> 0:40:33.520
<v Speaker 4>knocks on the Jets, and Victor Cruz had two ridiculous

0:40:33.560 --> 0:40:36.960
<v Speaker 4>plays and Rex Ryan was like, I don't know who

0:40:37.000 --> 0:40:40.160
<v Speaker 4>number three is for the Giants, but you guys should keep.

0:40:40.120 --> 0:40:41.359
<v Speaker 3>Him, and he was right.

0:40:43.080 --> 0:40:46.560
<v Speaker 2>So off season with the New York Giants.

0:40:47.440 --> 0:40:48.879
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to see them end season either.

0:40:50.440 --> 0:40:51.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Pauline.

0:40:51.760 --> 0:40:53.719
<v Speaker 6>When you would see the cuts happening on the old

0:40:53.760 --> 0:40:56.600
<v Speaker 6>Hard Knocks, the music would go down and there'd be

0:40:56.600 --> 0:40:59.920
<v Speaker 6>a staffer with khaki pants and glasses walking around there

0:41:00.080 --> 0:41:01.040
<v Speaker 6>the room the.

0:41:01.040 --> 0:41:03.719
<v Speaker 2>Weather known as the Turk. Yeah, the Turk is here.

0:41:03.840 --> 0:41:05.080
<v Speaker 6>Hey's Steve, Can you come with me?

0:41:06.360 --> 0:41:10.120
<v Speaker 2>And everybody knows when that guy comes in depending on

0:41:10.200 --> 0:41:14.560
<v Speaker 2>the time of training camp. Oh, we won't see him again.

0:41:15.200 --> 0:41:17.919
<v Speaker 2>Dan Orlovsky from the Mothership will join us final hour

0:41:17.920 --> 0:41:19.240
<v Speaker 2>of the program on this Thursday,
