1
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: What is going on? Everybody's Yond Middlecoff three and Out

2
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: podcast on Monday June. And I'll be honest, when I

3
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: woke up this morning after a great little weekend in

4
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: Nappa uh, I was like, I don't know, I'm gonna

5
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: have to be digging for some topics by the time

6
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: I just pressed record at six thirty at night. A

7
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: lot has happened, and I mean a lot, A lot

8
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: has happened, and I got a I got a pack show.

9
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 1: So I feel fortunate that, you know, in the middle

10
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: of June, did a lot of NFL stories happen today?

11
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: From Zeke getting Corona, Kyle Shanahan got extended some information

12
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: on Clowney Ton of stuff just around football. The Eagles

13
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: had a major injury. It felt for ten minutes like

14
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: Myke Gundy might get fired. Then him and his star

15
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: running back of friends again. And we just got a

16
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: lot going on. We we got a lot going on, uh,

17
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: and we're gonna dive into it all. Also, like always,

18
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: John Middlecop at John Middlecop is my Instagram handle. Uh.

19
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: Depends how long the show goes, I'll try to bang

20
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: out as many questions as possible by the end. But

21
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: we we do that on every show. Also, for those

22
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: of you that can and that or haven't, if you

23
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: like the show, uh, please leave a little review on

24
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: the Apple iTunes three and out page. I greatly appreciate it.

25
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: Last time I checked, we're like, I think, over the

26
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,559
Speaker 1: eleven hundred, so we're we're firing those out. But let's

27
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: start with this. The big news of the day. Well,

28
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: I mean there's about ten million things that happened, but

29
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: the news that started the first thing I wrote down

30
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: this morning, Ezekiel Elliott Cowboys start running back got the coronavirus.

31
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: Test is positive for the coronavirus, and he tweeted stuff

32
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: about hippolas. Who knows, but the reality is he got

33
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: the coronavirus just like I think another Cowboy player and

34
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: a couple of guys in the Houston Texans also got

35
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: the Corona buyers. And one of my biggest pet peeves

36
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: when it comes to the way social media and fans

37
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: treat pro sports is they treat it like something it's not.

38
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: And I say this all the time about the NFL,

39
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: and I look at the NBA like this, I look

40
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: I look at Major League Baseball like this. It's why

41
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: I never get too distraught when things happen and they

42
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,119
Speaker 1: get quote unquote bad pr or whatever. I don't look

43
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: at pro sports to be my moral compass, no different

44
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: than I don't look at Apple to set the tone

45
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: for moral society, or USA to U S A. A.

46
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: My you know, car insurance or Blue Shield my health

47
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: insurance or the sawny Water. Do you know what all

48
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: those have in common their businesses. They're not charities. Their

49
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: number one goal is to make money. So as we

50
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: come back. The reason you saw this a lot on

51
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 1: Friday night with the NBA and the players, I don't

52
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: know if it's really the players. Most players want to

53
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: come back, why because they want their money? And Kyrie

54
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: was saying all this craziness, and the reality is Kyrie

55
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: irving the reason the sport it's not fishy. Why the

56
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: sports coming back. They're coming back for one reason, and

57
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: one reason only to get the money that they've lost.

58
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: This in the NBA, the NFL, major League Baseball, I

59
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: think too often fans and definitely the media talk about like,

60
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: why are we even doing this? It's just a game.

61
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: It's just a game in high school when there's no

62
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: money on the line. In the NFL, every game has

63
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: millions of dollars on the line and millions of dollars

64
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 1: in expenses, and millions of dollars in revenue, and when

65
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: you add it all up over an entire season, the

66
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: NFL is this little thing called a ten plus billion

67
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: dollar industry. It's why it's such a big deal for

68
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: them to play this year. And the big question today

69
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: there was a story I think Josina Anderson. They had

70
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: an mL or an NFL p a call and they said,

71
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: if fans are not allowed in the stands, we will

72
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: lose three billion dollars worth of revenue. Well, unlike baseball,

73
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: basketball and football are revenue partners, and they just came

74
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: to a new agreement. I don't know if this year

75
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: is still based off the old agreement was like forty

76
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: seven to forty eight and a half percent somewhere in

77
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: there that the players. So every dollar, every football dollar

78
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: that has made from the NFL, the players and the

79
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: owners and the teams split based on whatever you know,

80
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: two whatever the percentages. So when they lose money, everyone loses,

81
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: including the players. So they're coming back for themselves, and

82
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: they're coming back for the players, and ultimately they're coming

83
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: back for the big pot of money. And this thing

84
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: is not gonna be smooth. People are gonna get the coronavirus.

85
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: Like I'm about a month and a half ago. I'm like,

86
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be like my media brethren miserable in

87
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: rooting for the Corona to take over the world. I'm

88
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: just not gonna do that because they don't know, just

89
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: like I don't know. I'm not a doctor. There ain't doctors.

90
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: No one knows. It's almost like the rooting for society

91
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: to fail. It's really weird. I I'm one of the

92
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: maybe rare people. I think a lot of people listening.

93
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: I like rooting for other people's success. If there's you know,

94
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people listening to this podcast, and there are,

95
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: I hope all you guys are doing well whatever you're

96
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: whether you own a restaurant, whether you work for an

97
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: insurance company, whether you work for a medical I hope

98
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: business going great, you and your family are doing well.

99
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: Rooting for you. I don't want anyone to lose their job.

100
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for this thing to go away as humanly

101
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: quickly as humanly possible. Now I don't I don't control

102
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: any of it, just like everyone listening. None of us

103
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: have any control over this, but I understand and you

104
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: it's so predictable that as these leagues start coming back,

105
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: there's like, why are they even coming back? Because they

106
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: need the money? You know, I mean, it's why are

107
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: most people in life. And Luckily I get you. Guys

108
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: are smart. I d M with a lot of you.

109
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: I understand getting Collins. Collins has an intelligent audience. This

110
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: is not just some extremist anti economy group, right. Uh.

111
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: Most businesses need money to coming in to stay alive.

112
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: And just like baseball and basketball are gonna be in

113
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: major trouble if their seasons don't happen, it'll have ripple

114
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: effects for years to come. The NBA would be royally

115
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: screwed if they're not able to figure out this bubble situation. Luckily,

116
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: the NFL, there are players because it's much more of

117
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: a cutthroat league given that none of their contracts or

118
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: a large percentage of them, are not guaranteed, and a

119
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: lot of guys are basically like all of us, day

120
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: to day, week to week, year to year, you can

121
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: always get cut. They understand the normandy and the ramifications

122
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: if they don't play now Is it gonna be smooth sailing?

123
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: Are are we, you know, firing around the boat at

124
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: six am on a lake when it's smooth and you

125
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: can get a great you know, it's just like glass. No,

126
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be bumpy. This whole last three and a

127
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: half months have been bumpy. Whether we all agree or

128
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: disagree with the tactics of everything, I don't know. No

129
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: one has the right or wrong answers, you know. I mean,

130
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: there are things that I think some of us are

131
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: gonna feel more strongly about than others. But whatever those are,

132
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: just that there are our own opinions. But it don't

133
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: I think the quicker. You cannot look at sports leagues

134
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: like it's their job to be ahead of the curve

135
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: and beat this moral compass in the NFL has fought

136
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: this for years, Like why are they employing a guy

137
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: that's been arrested three times? I don't know, because a

138
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: guy can catch touchdowns? Why do they care that the

139
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: coach and GM's job is to win games? They it's

140
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: not their job to raise your children. You raise your

141
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: children with the teacher, you teach the kid. It's not

142
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: their job. It's just not you know. In the NFL

143
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: has faced It's probably more than the other leagues now,

144
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: granted just they have more players. They've had more run

145
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: ins with the law. Like why does old and Smith

146
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: get another opportunity? I don't know. He's six five, He's

147
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: shown in the past he can rush the pastor and

148
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: if you're a good pass rusher in the NFL, they

149
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: pay twenty million dollars. It's really not that complicated. They

150
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: don't care that, you know, just it's you. You get

151
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: worked up. One thing I've really learned over the last

152
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: three months, and I've been thinking about this for the

153
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: last couple of years, is the most overrated thing in

154
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: society now is bad pr Like what does that really mean?

155
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: The NFL quote unquote has got the worst PR probably

156
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: of any league over the last decade, and over the

157
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: last four or five years, and really just the one

158
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: election year they have dominated this decade, the NBA has

159
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,239
Speaker 1: gone into the tank. Baseball has never felt less relevant.

160
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: That's the crazy part about the Jordan documentary. Uh listen,

161
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: I was born eighty four, grew up in Michael Jordan's

162
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: I watched that and maybe I'm a little nostalgic. I go, God,

163
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: you know what, the NBA was cooler in the nineties.

164
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: And then I watched the Big Max Sammy Sosa documentary. Now,

165
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: granted I'm a Giants fan, so I love Barry Bonds.

166
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: I started thinking, you know what, baseball was cooler from

167
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: nine to two thousand five than it is now. They

168
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: said cooler players. And maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm nostalgic, whatever.

169
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: Maybe you always just say the music you grew up on,

170
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 1: the players you grew up on were better Now. I

171
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: don't necessarily think like Mike Trout couldn't have played. I

172
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: just think King Griffey Jr. Is way cooler than any

173
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: baseball player we have now. And I don't even think

174
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: it's close. You know, I think Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley,

175
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: you know Gary Payton, those type guys were just cooler

176
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: than the guys we have now, you know I back

177
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: in the day. Uh. And then the one thing the

178
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: NFL still has that I think basketball has really lost

179
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: touch with basketball has become like every time you see

180
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: an Instagram video of the group, they're drinking wine. You

181
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: noticed in the in the Jordan documentary what everyone was drinking,

182
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: from Michael to Scotty to fill the Charles Barkley to

183
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: Larry Bird, they're slamming beers. You know what the NFL is,

184
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: It's a beer league, you know. Not listen, I'm not

185
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: anti wine, but I'm more of a beer and cocktail guy.

186
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: Most of my friends are. I'll drink wine if it's

187
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: provided for me. I don't go out of my way

188
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: to drink it. Again, not I'm pro alcohol. I just think,

189
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: you know, when Lebron and Carmel and all those guys

190
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 1: sip in wine, like, who are they relating to? Right?

191
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan was slamming Miller lights in that documentary, right,

192
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: and just think how cool the you know, the steroid

193
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: guys were. Now they were cheating whatever, but they were

194
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: hitting bombs and baseball is really cool. Football has maintained

195
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: that status. It was cool when I was a kid,

196
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: far young Aikman, you know, l Way, It was big

197
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: in the nineties. It just feels infinitely bigger now now

198
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: it I've said it all along. The sport is perfectly

199
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: set up four times. But their main goal, and we've

200
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: really seen this is money is really really important to them,

201
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: just like it is to the NBA. They just pretend

202
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: that they're into all these other things where at the

203
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: end of the day, their number one goal is to

204
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: keep making money, keep that salary cap going up, and

205
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: keep generating more money for their franchisees. Same thing with baseball.

206
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: And I think sometimes these leagues and like the media

207
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: gets nostalgic about this stuff in society. It's like, guys

208
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: don't look at them any differently than Apple, don't look

209
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: at them any differently than you know, Callaway, don't look

210
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: at them any differently than Samsung. Like they're just they're

211
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: just trying to generate money. They just use football or

212
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: basketball or baseball or hockey or whatever as their avenue

213
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: to generate the revenue. But that's exactly what they're trying

214
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 1: to do, generate revenue. So as they come back and

215
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 1: the coronavirus and guys like Zeke get it because more

216
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: von Miller, now Zeke, more guys are gonna get it

217
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: just inevitable, especially with football. You're sweating, you're all together,

218
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: you're touching, it's just gonna happen. Uh, Like, they're just

219
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: gonna get crushed. And I'm gonna have no issue with

220
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: it because they're they're not coming back for any other

221
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: reason to just try to keep the league rolling. And

222
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: when the league roles, they all make money. And that's

223
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: the key. Like, you don't take a year off. No one,

224
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: no business owner I knew now. Granted, even the people

225
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: that were like listened and at first Corona was freaking

226
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: everyone out. But most business owners want to do everything

227
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: desperately to keep going. Why because that's how they survive.

228
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: You cannot survive out of business, whether you're making a

229
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: hundred dollars, a hundred million dollars, a hundred thousand dollars,

230
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: when money just stops coming in. When money stops coming in,

231
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: you are in trouble. And luckily most of you guys

232
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: understand that. I just think sometimes you see on social

233
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: media or some of these people arguing on TV, it's like,

234
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: and am I taking crazy pills? So Zeke gets it.

235
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: And one thing I hope Zeke as I I think

236
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: it will help, Like I'd love to hear a firsthand

237
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,599
Speaker 1: like what his experience like was with the coronavirus. Do

238
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 1: you feel different gets sick? I don't know. I think

239
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: that would actually help some of the dialogue. What was

240
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: it like, what did you feel like? When did he

241
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: know he was sick? Did he know he was sick.

242
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: Did you even have symptoms? Gay symptomatic? How did it work?

243
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't predict to have all the answers.

244
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: I don't have any. Just listen to try to listen,

245
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: but it's hard. You got ten million different voices. All

246
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: I know is that football. And don't get me wrong,

247
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: I getting more nervous by the day that it's not

248
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: gonna be very smooth. Uh talked about what the protocols. Now,

249
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: you see these guys getting sick, But I will not

250
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 1: be critical of the league attempting to come back. Okay,

251
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: let's uh, let's let's dive into something else. And right

252
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: before I got on, we had breaking news Kyle Shanahan,

253
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: who originally signed a six year contract, had three years

254
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: left on his contract, just got a contract extension, so

255
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: he got basically another six year contract. He's now one

256
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: of the highest pays play play, your highest paid coaches

257
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: in the league top five. Schefter said. Then we got Clowney,

258
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: former number one overall pick, refuses to sign a contract.

259
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: Though Seattle made a huge I think one year offer.

260
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: I think they had more than the Browns are offering,

261
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: and they're offering fifteen million, and it got me thinking,

262
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 1: like a lot of people have been screwing around the

263
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: stock market. Now, I've been screwing around in the stock

264
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: market probably for ten years. I've had a lot more

265
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 1: money at my disposal the last three or four. Uh

266
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: So I've been pretty heavy over the last couple of years.

267
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: But I would say I've been really active the last

268
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 1: three months. And there is one business, well really there's two.

269
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: One is weed. Uh It's a little more complicated just

270
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: because it hasn't even scratched the surface, but it's I

271
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: have family that lives in the works in the food service.

272
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: I don't think people understand how big it's gonna be.

273
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: Weed products, in drinks, in candy, over the counter stuff,

274
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: It's going to be everywhere. I promise you that the

275
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: big banks, the big beer companies, they're all in get

276
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: ready because it's coming. And this isn't a pro or

277
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: anti weed comment. I'm just telling you it's inevitable. The

278
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: one thing, though, that I know is gonna be huge

279
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 1: is the gambling aspect, and the gambling aspect through apps.

280
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: Hell weeds a little bit like that too. You can

281
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: order from an app, but it's not federally legal. Just

282
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: like weed in the country. Both of them, they're upside

283
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: as businesses are absolutely enormous, And when you try to

284
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: time the stock market, especially right now, it's really difficult.

285
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: So if you really believe, let's say in draft Kings

286
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: and Pen, the company that is partnered with Barstool, I

287
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: believe in them both. I think one day one of them,

288
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: if not both of them, are gonna be massive. They're

289
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: gonna have huge market share, they're gonna have all this information.

290
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: Obviously bar Stool brings in a massive audience. They're gonna

291
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: be huge. But you know, some days they go up

292
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: a little bit, some days they go down. If you

293
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: read like we still the stock market could not plummet

294
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: like he did, like it did when Corona first hit,

295
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: and we thought everyone was gonna die and the market

296
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: might go to zero and we'd all, you know, be screwed.

297
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: Clearly that didn't happen, but it did crater and it's

298
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: gone up and it's gone back down. It's kind of

299
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: been very hit or miss, And right now I'm trying

300
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: to time it like I kind of want to get

301
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: in at Pen, you know, like the low twenties, and

302
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: right now it's around thirty. I just had it for

303
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: twenty seven, sold at thirty two. I'm hoping to get

304
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: back in around twenty, but who knows, maybe it never

305
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: goes back down. I was hoping to get draft Kings

306
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: in about thirty. Right now it's like forty two dollars.

307
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: So it's like I'm trying to time it perfectly and

308
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: it's not really working. And I've listened to enough investors

309
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: talk about if you like something, don't get so caught

310
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: up in that, uh, if you think the upside is

311
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: just massive, and if you're not necessarily looking for a

312
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: short term play, because both of them to me would

313
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: be long term place gambling. In five years, when you

314
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: can gamble on golf, on basketball, and football, the fantasy

315
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: element will just be huge. I mean, it's inevitable. I

316
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: would imagine most of you guys are listening in some

317
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: capacity either play fantasy football or gamble on football. We

318
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: all do. It's fun and it's only gonna become easier

319
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: and easier to do. And I probably shouldn't stop stop

320
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: wasting my time just by the two now. Granted, my

321
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: new A C unit you know, didn't quite uh come

322
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: through like I thought. I have to get an entirely

323
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: new operation. It's gonna be ten grand. So I might

324
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: have to wait a couple of months before I place

325
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: my my my bets on the stocks. But maybe I'm

326
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: overthinking it, and I think when it comes to Clowney,

327
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: it's like, bro, what are you waiting on? You think

328
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: like all of a sudden, some dudes is gonna offer

329
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: you a fifty million dollars and guaranteed your market is

330
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: your market. Now the league is facing economic crisis. They

331
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: might lose three billion dollars this year. That's going to

332
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: affect you and the players. That means your market is

333
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: not as good. Who knows if the season is even

334
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: gonna happen. If you could get on paper a one

335
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: year deal for fifteen million dollars from the Browns, who

336
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: on paper have a really good team, right they got

337
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: a sweet pass rusher and Miles Garrett, they got all

338
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: these sweet offensive players, it's not out of the row

339
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: impossible ability. If Kevin Stefanski is just solid there in

340
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: the playoffs, I would actually expect the Browns. If Stefanski

341
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: is just the middle of the road coach and an

342
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: offensive play caller like he was last year, to be

343
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: a playoff level team. They definitely have the talent. I

344
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: just think it's clowney waiting for this, like it'd be

345
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: like me waiting for the stock market for these stocks

346
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: to be like five dollars. Again, that's just not going

347
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: to happen. It's just not the clowney. Your offers are

348
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: your offers. It is what it is. The money is

349
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: not gonna go up. I don't know who's advising you.

350
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: I don't know if internally you think you're better than

351
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: your are. It just doesn't make sense. And Seattle, you know,

352
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: they're a playoff team, So if you just stay on

353
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: the one year deal, you're there with the playoff team. Plus,

354
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: they once upon a time traded for you, so if

355
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: they want you to come back, who knows. If you

356
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: have a really good year, maybe they'll give you a

357
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: big extension. Plus the Browns, even if you don't want

358
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: to play there, just use them as a stepping stone.

359
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: But eventually, my man, you gotta sign a contract because

360
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: I think once training camp happens and it's if things

361
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: are still weird with the virus, the money just ain't

362
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: gonna be there. These teams are not going to no

363
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,239
Speaker 1: one signing you to a multi year contract in the

364
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 1: times that we're living in right now, not this player,

365
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: not given his history. There's questions about his work ethic,

366
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: his you know, his injury history. No one disputes just

367
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 1: his talent because it is there. But a little bit

368
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: like nandamn, Sue, why isn't he better? And now he's

369
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: kind of getting weird with money, Like I got this

370
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: guy red flagged all over the place, Like this guy's

371
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: a walking, talking red flag for a guy that should

372
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: have been has Hall of Fame talent, he's just you know,

373
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: the crazy thing about clown. He's like an underachiever and

374
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: he's had he's been a good player. It's kind of sad.

375
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: I would say he has been more impactful than Sue

376
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 1: given through his first like five years. But I think

377
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: he's on that path. You know when you see guys

378
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: like Donald and Khalil and the boast of brothers, like

379
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: maximize your stuff, Bro, God gave you this freakish talent,

380
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: like you could have been an all timer, and hell

381
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 1: you still can. I would bet against it. Usually the

382
00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: light doesn't come on five years in. But this is

383
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: just what a bizarre situation. And on the flip side,

384
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: you know what, Jed York said, you know what, I'm

385
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: not gonna overthink this. I got Kyle Shanahan. Well he's

386
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 1: been here three years. The first two years, well he

387
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: didn't win a lot. It was clear the guy was

388
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: pretty good. Players really like him. He hires a good

389
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: coaching staff, He's great with the media. He's a high

390
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: level guy. He's an elite play caller once he finally

391
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: got some talent around him. Boom was in the Super

392
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: Bowl and how the lead was seven minutes to go

393
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: against my homes hell, it might have been. I don't

394
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 1: know when Kelsey scored the when they scored the second touchdown,

395
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: they might have had the lead in the Super Bowl.

396
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: Looking back thinking about it, like with three minutes left,

397
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: you know what, Jed said, you know what, you got

398
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: three years left. I don't even care give Hi an extension.

399
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: I want you to be my coach for the next

400
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: twenty years. He didn't really overthink it. Could Kyle, you know,

401
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: could next the next couple of years go bad? Sure?

402
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: But sometimes now, unlike me, gambling on stocks, money is

403
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,479
Speaker 1: not an issue to the forty niners. So whether they

404
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 1: extended Kyle this year or next year and the money

405
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: went up, the money went it wasn't gonna be that

406
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: big a deal. But they don't have to worry about it.

407
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: You just get the you get the money on paper,

408
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: and you just don't think about it and you just say, Kyle,

409
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: here are the keys to the castle, which ironically already had.

410
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: Now he is officially, i'd say, beside Belichick, I'd say

411
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: the most powerful head coach you know, two or three

412
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: in the league because the difference is And if you

413
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: guys listen to podcast when Andy was on, Veach picks

414
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: the players, Like Andy's not lying, Andy, Let's Veach be

415
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: the GM. If you follow the Seattle Seahawks. While Pete

416
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: Carroll hired John Schneider, John Snyder runs the draft. Now

417
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 1: like that, that's the way it works. Now again, those

418
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: guys make more money than their GM's obviously, but they

419
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: don't pick the players because not because they can and

420
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: if he wanted, we could, but he lets the GM

421
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: do it. I think both those two places, Sean Payton,

422
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: Mickey Loomis and Jeff Ireland have they have a huge

423
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: influence there right. So I don't know if there's a

424
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: coach like Howie Roseman has a lot of juice with

425
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles, Kyle Shannahan's probably the second most powerful

426
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: coach in the league behind Belichick. Now I got news

427
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: for you. Even though John Lynch high level guy, and

428
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: he has a lot of influence and he plays a

429
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: big role. Whatever Kyle said went and now there's no

430
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: question about it. He's making ten million dollars a year.

431
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: He gets a six year extension. I think he's clearly

432
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: i'd say, under sixty years old, probably the best coach

433
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: if you just had a coaching draft, if you took

434
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: Andy and Belichick out of it, like I'd probably take Now,

435
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: he's still gotta do it. And part of being a

436
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: good at anything, whether it's a player, a coach, a businessman,

437
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: it's about sustaining success. Anyone can make money one year,

438
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: anyone can have a big season. Can you do it

439
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: over and over and over again? Still unknown? I think

440
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: for most of us, though, we go yeah, I think

441
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: Kyle's got a chance to be an all time great

442
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: And Jed, you know, a decade ago, I guess a

443
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 1: little less than a decade ago, it felt like I

444
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 1: had an all time great coach in hardball now hardball,

445
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: while I did not support the forty Niners. The way

446
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: they handled that situation. I'll be the first to admit

447
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: I probably underestimated at the time Jim's craziness, Jim's nuts.

448
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: And you know, if you say at you know what

449
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: coach right now, would you rather have Kyle Shanahan or

450
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 1: Jim Harbor, It's said, rather have Kyle Shannon. So it worked.

451
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: Now did they get a little lucky the way they

452
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: got there? Yes, they hired Jim Tom Seweller to place

453
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh. It's one of the all time embarrassments in

454
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: the history of the league. Chip Kelly. I've never seen

455
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: a coach even try less than Chip Kelly has really

456
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: tried that one year with the Niners and now with

457
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 1: U c L A dude mails it in. It's it's

458
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: kind of embarrassing for a guy that's getting paid a

459
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 1: lot of money. And then they got a little lucky

460
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: with Kyle. They wanted Josh McDaniels. He was their number

461
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: one target. They were going to hire Josh McDaniels to

462
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: be accepted. He declined, and then they went to Kyle.

463
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: So sometimes in life it's better to be lucky than

464
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 1: good or on the right guy, because I'd say, are

465
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: we sure Josh McDaniel is gonna be as good as

466
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: a head coach as Kyle Shanahan is? Probably not right,

467
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: I'd say, if I was slipping a coin, it feels

468
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: like less than chance if he ever becomes a head coach,

469
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: whether he takes over for Belichick or whether he goes

470
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: somewhere else, I wouldn't bet on him having that much success, though.

471
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 1: I do think he's a pretty good coaching candidate, you know,

472
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: but still, like Kyle, feels like a star. And Jed

473
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,239
Speaker 1: didn't wait and didn't go well, maybe next year if

474
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: he has a down and here we get him a

475
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: little chaper, didn't overthink it, just paid him well. Clowney

476
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: is the opposite. He's just what are you waiting for

477
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: some like bag of money to fall out of the sky,

478
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: some team to go? You know what, Clowney, here's uh,

479
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: four years, seventy million dollars, will guarantee sixty of it.

480
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: It's just not happening. I see in no world that happening.

481
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: So you know, it's just sometimes when you know and

482
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: you like something, just if you have the money, just

483
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: pay for it. One story that I read about and

484
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna dive into something before we kind of go

485
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: around the NFL and college football. Is that Albert Brewer

486
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 1: wrote about Matt ryan Is hosting workouts in Atlanta, and

487
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: I know around with has been reading a lot of

488
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: stories about Jimmy Garoppolo hosting workouts and the way Atlanta

489
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: and a lot of teams they do their zoo meetings

490
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: in the morning and then you can go practice in

491
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 1: the afternoon, so you can what you go over like

492
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: you would during O t a S. You install what

493
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: you'd install, or you'd go over certain plays or certain

494
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: packages or whatever. And then typically during off O t

495
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: a S you then practice it on the field. Right,

496
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: You have some meetings in the morning, maybe you have lunch,

497
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: then you practice, maybe you get there early, have breakfast,

498
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: You do some meetings, then practice and then re meet. However,

499
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 1: the structure is of that that given team, and you're

500
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: able to get it all in the meetings and the practice.

501
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: You want to take from the classroom out to the

502
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: meeting room right or out to the practice field. And

503
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 1: I think it's really key, and I've said it from

504
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: the jump on the coronavirus before any of us knew

505
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: what the hell was gonna go on. This is not

506
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: going to be vacation. Every single person in every industry

507
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: that tried to gain an advantage over this time was

508
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: gonna excel as we transition back to normal life and

509
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 1: eventually when it ends and you can really hit the

510
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: ground running pedal to the medal and a lot of

511
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: people and listen, if you've been on social media rooted

512
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: for this thing to go on forever, why because they

513
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: wanted a Netflix and chill forever. Me I've watched all

514
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: the Netflix shows on board. Uh, try to do a

515
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: bunch of different things. I know a lot of people

516
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: have tried a lot of different things to keep their

517
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 1: business alive, tried out new projects, got more active, you

518
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: know through internet sales. However, whatever you had to do

519
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: to keep on rolling, you looked to gain an advantage.

520
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: And I would imagine a lot of quarterbacks have corralled

521
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 1: their wide receivers or a couple of offensive skill guys

522
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 1: and worked with their coaching staff to go from the

523
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: classroom to the practice field and implement stuff and working

524
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: around their workouts. And I think, like the like the Falcons,

525
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: like the Niners. I got Jimmy Garoppolo working with his

526
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: first round wide receiver the last two weeks after they

527
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: zoom in the morning with the coaches, What do you

528
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: think they're doing. They're running the place, Kyle's teaching them

529
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: on the zoom, and I would imagine it's happening on

530
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 1: a ton of different teams. I would imagine a lot

531
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: of you guys that follow your NFL team really closely

532
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: have read these type story reas and it's why the

533
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: NFL is such a competitive league. Like this would have

534
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: been an easy time just chill at home, not do

535
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: a damn thing. Well, these guys get paid too much money.

536
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: They're too high level of people, they're too big of

537
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: just achievers to sit around. Elite athletes don't sit around,

538
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 1: just like race cars don't want to drive twenty. They

539
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: like having their foot on the pedal. Now, some older guys,

540
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: you know, over thirty, it's different, right, they wouldn't practice

541
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: that intensely during O T A s. They would maintain.

542
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: But for your young players, especially your young skill guys,

543
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 1: to work with your quarterback is really really imperative and

544
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: to build that relationship, Like there's a lot of pressure

545
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 1: on the Atlanta Falcons and those guys to be really

546
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: good or the coaching staff is gonna completely get fired. Right,

547
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of pressure on Brandon Aiyuk

548
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: and Jimmy Garoppolotto. They just drafted him in the first round.

549
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: They need the man of Sanders isn't back. He's gonna

550
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: have to be one of their best three wide receivers,

551
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: him Kittle and Deebo Samuel. No one excuses once they

552
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: start playing games. No one's gonna be like, oh no

553
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: O T A s. They only got virtual meetings. No

554
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: one's gonna care. Literally, no one's gonna give a damn

555
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 1: if you suck come week two. Definitely not. The team

556
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: you're playing is you better be on top of it.

557
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: And these players that maximized this time, uh, whether it's skill,

558
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,239
Speaker 1: guys working with their quarterback, being really focused in these

559
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: zoom meetings. I've worked for home from a while, work

560
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 1: from home for a while now. It can be difficult,

561
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: especially when you're not used to doing it. Now, once

562
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: you get into a rhythm, if if you have a

563
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 1: lot of self discipline, it's not that difficult at all.

564
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: I probably don't have much self discipline, but I do

565
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: love money, and it was easy for me to focus

566
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,719
Speaker 1: plus it was easy for me to do media stuff,

567
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: podcast videos from home, so it wasn't easy transition. But

568
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: I would imagine many of you that over this couple

569
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: of months period and some of your states are wide open,

570
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: so you guys have been back at work. But for

571
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: that month or two months, it was a tough little transition,

572
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: but if you tried to maximize it. And I don't

573
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: have kids, so it had to be really challenging to

574
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 1: have your family at home. I can't even imagine. But

575
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: maybe that means like once you put it into bed,

576
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: you gotta do two or three hours of work. You know,

577
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: it's just part of the deal. Do you want to

578
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: succeed or do you want to get laughed? Because in

579
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: the NFL, and I say it all the time, it's

580
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: the one saying that's gonna stick with me the rest

581
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: of my life because I think it applies to everything.

582
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 1: You're either getting better, you're getting worse. Literally, no one

583
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: stays the same. And this applies to every single industry,

584
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: every single person. Now in football, you can tangibly see improvements.

585
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 1: I think sometimes in business it is a little harder,

586
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: but you can see if you're making higher percentages, higher money,

587
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: Obviously this year is gonna be a little weird, but

588
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: just moving forward. Eventually this is gonna end and we're

589
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: gonna be back. Football is going to be played, whether

590
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: it gets played on time, whether you have to push

591
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: it back, but they're gonna play. And the guys that

592
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: maximize every thing they had to their discretion possible, that

593
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: really listening to the Zoom meetings, implemented the scheme that

594
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: worked out as hard as they could on their own.

595
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: They got with their quarterbacks that listened to, like Matt Ryan,

596
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson or Jimmy Garoppolo or Aaron Rodger, whoever's lead,

597
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, whoever, Josh Allen, whoever's leading, Sam Donald. I

598
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: see all these guys, Baker Mayfield are all leading these workouts.

599
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: There's a big time for football because unlike basketball, where

600
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: you can just play a couple of pickup games and

601
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: kind of get the rhythm back, in baseball once you

602
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: get the timing of your swing, like football is about

603
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: practicing plays nine months of the year to just play

604
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: in sixteen games. Think about all the time you spend

605
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: practicing plays, especially on offense. To perfect plays takes. You

606
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time mentally and physically going over this.

607
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: And this year has been weird, right, I mean literally

608
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: for for the NFL, nothing happened like they weren't allowed

609
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: to show up to the facility. Not at all. I

610
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: haven't been able to facility since the season ended. So

611
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: if you didn't make it to the playoffs, you haven't

612
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: been around your coaches. Now it's June for three and

613
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: a half months. That's a that's a long time, you

614
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: know for eyes that are used to kind of honing

615
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: their craft. But that's just the way the cookie crumbled now.

616
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: And I think the more and more you're gonna read

617
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: these stories of the guys, and I think we'll see

618
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: it come the fall of the guys that really took

619
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,239
Speaker 1: advantage of the crappy sitiation, situation that we were all

620
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: kind of handed, like none of us chose this, But

621
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: that's the way life works. We don't get to dictate

622
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: the path where we're going. You know. It's we all

623
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: learned that the older you get, you're like God, life's

624
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: kind of crazy, because when you think something's gonna happen,

625
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: usually the opposite does. I think the Patriots have the

626
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: line when you walk in their building, the road to

627
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: success is always under construction. But I think that's kind

628
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: of symbolic to the way the world works, Like the

629
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: if you would have told me two thousand twenty in

630
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: January or February that, you know what, where we'd be

631
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: in the middle of June. No one would have believed you.

632
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: But it's it's the way things happen, sometimes for the better,

633
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: sometimes for the worst. But it's just that's life. You

634
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: have no clue what pitch is coming. It's like you're

635
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: up there and Nolan Ryan's throwing you a pitch every day.

636
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: You might get a fat us ball, you might get

637
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: a curveball, you might get a ball at your face,

638
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: you might get a pitch that's over the catcher's head.

639
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: Who knows. But you just better be ready to swing

640
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: because if you're not, and that pitch does come down

641
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: the middle and you're not paying attention or you're not focused,

642
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna be back sitting on the pine. And I'm

643
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: telling you, I think the one thing we'll see if

644
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: football happens this fall. And I'm still confident, but I

645
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: get a little nervous sometimes I see these protests, is that, uh,

646
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: the guys that really busted their ass over these this

647
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: weird offseason. I think the cream's gonna rise. Okay, let's

648
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: dive around the NFL and I in no particular order, right,

649
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: I just wrote things down as they happen today, and

650
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: I probably miss a couple. Start with number one, Mitch

651
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: Drobiski admits he didn't deserve the fifth year option. Yes, Mitch,

652
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: we all know we watched you play then. At first

653
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: he was mad Nick Foles they traded for him. Now

654
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: Folds is here, he's excited to compete. Uh. I'll give

655
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: Mitch some credit it that he had some self awareness

656
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: to just admit that he didn't deserve to the fifth

657
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: year option. He didn't. Okay. The Iowa Hawkeyes have fired

658
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: much maligned strength coach, the Doyle guy who had been

659
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: there since nineteen with uh with friends Farrens. Someone dm

660
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: me how to say it, Kirk, and Uh, it was

661
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: clear where it was headed, snowballed in the wrong way.

662
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: It's a weird time we're living in. And listen, here's

663
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: what I do know. Being a strength coach is not

664
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: very easy, especially in college football. And if you went

665
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: back to the majority of strength coaches in the country

666
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: and we got all their words and the things they've said.

667
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: I think the majority of strength coaches would get fired.

668
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,719
Speaker 1: I don't know this guy. I don't know anything about him.

669
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: I've never went into school of Iowa, but they had

670
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: a lot of success under his watch. They produced a

671
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: lot of pros and you know, he got he kind

672
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: of got it up in the mess because to meet

673
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: there are a ton of coaches who could probably fault

674
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: when it comes to the strength coach and the things

675
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: they're saying in the weight room because they spend a lot.

676
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: They spend more time in the off season with the

677
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: kids and the coaches do. But the Iowa situation and

678
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: the program went through a weird time, and there are

679
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: several other coaches. I think Utah currently has a defensive

680
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: coordinator suspended. I think there was another coach that got

681
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: to spend it. It's just you gotta be careful what

682
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: you say these days. You really do, and it's just

683
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: the times we live in. You gotta adapt the way

684
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: you motivate. And I think the hard part is football.

685
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: You know, like what social media and what it can become.

686
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: Football is just a crazy game. Man. Now you don't

687
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: have to swear at your players and say demeaning things

688
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: to motivate, like Andy Reid ain't swearing it, guys, But

689
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll, I don't think it's really swearing it, guys.

690
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: Belichick does, Saban does adapt, Abbo doesn't. So listen. There

691
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: are countless ways to, you know, win football games. I

692
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: don't want to say there's a right or wrong answer.

693
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily look at like the sports media like

694
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 1: their opinions on this. I don't really care. I've seen

695
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: it firsthand. I know it's really difficult. Uh, but this guy,

696
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: you know, clearly it seems like cross the line. Maybe

697
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,959
Speaker 1: I I honestly didn't read that much about it, because

698
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: once I read the first couple, it's like, you know,

699
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: I struggle with guys that were kicked off the team

700
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: that kind of come back retroactively after the fact. You know,

701
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: are the star players and IOWA saying things in full disclosure,

702
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: no offense to any IOWA fans. I have nothing but

703
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: respect for your program because again, you overachieved. I just

704
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 1: don't care that much. Uh. No joint practices this year,

705
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: pretty big blow. You know, it's a big thing. Belichick

706
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: loves doing joint practices. Most good coaches like doing joint practices.

707
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:57,399
Speaker 1: It's a way to see another team, it's a way

708
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: to get your guys live reps. You're able to get

709
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: a lot of improvement in that situation. But that will

710
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: not be taking place this year. Lamar Jackson. I couldn't

711
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: believe how many outlets tweeted out the video, whether it

712
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: was just Bleacher Report. And here's the thing, like Bleacher

713
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: Reports at Sports Center, they got a good gig because

714
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: they just tweet viral stuff, good or bad. It could

715
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 1: be divisive, and they don't even give an opinion. They

716
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,879
Speaker 1: just throw it out there. They get to benefit all

717
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: the impressions something that they didn't even video and they

718
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: just watch people just have at it. Now. Everything that

719
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: I saw tweeted about Lamar Jackson had laughing emojis. I

720
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: would not be laughing at Lamar Jackson, the MVP of

721
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: the league, almost like shattering his leg and his hip

722
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,399
Speaker 1: over at jet Ski. I think John Harbaugh probably threw

723
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: up in his mouth when he watched that video. Also,

724
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: you just see how fast the guys if you were

725
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: trying to run on sand, sort to run on sand,

726
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson looked like he was flying with a freak

727
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: athlete Bradley Chubb will be a full go whenever they resume.

728
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,080
Speaker 1: I know Coward has the Broncos picked as one of

729
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,800
Speaker 1: the you know, the up and coming teams. You got Chubb,

730
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 1: you got von Miller, you got Simmons. I've gotten a

731
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,320
Speaker 1: lot of questions over the last month about these guys.

732
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be pretty good if the quarterbacks good. Billy, oh,

733
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: said Hill. Neil. Uh, listen, I don't know why that's

734
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: that big of a story. Everyone's like, oh my god,

735
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 1: I like, I don't even know if he wants to

736
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: Neel and Neil. I don't know why everyone gets so

737
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: worked up over people. I saw Baker Mayfield, said Hill, Neil,

738
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: and then you got a bunch of pushback like why

739
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: why can't more humans? Just My one plead to humanity

740
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: would just be like, can we all just work on ourselves?

741
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: Can we focus first and foremost on the guy you

742
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: look at or the woman you look at in the mirror,

743
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: and then your immediate family, and then start worrying about

744
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: other people? Like why do we spend so much time

745
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: getting so worked up about people that have nothing to

746
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: do with us. It's really one thing I'm gonna try

747
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: to do moving forward. And I've done a pretty good

748
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: job about this now. Granted, I mean I talk about

749
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: football for a living in characters, but I don't get

750
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: like that emotionally move like it feels like a lot

751
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: of people do about like you're gonna kneel, I'm never

752
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 1: gonna watch you again, or you're not gonna kneel, You're

753
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: a losers, Like, can we just focus on ourselves? Uh?

754
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle got foot surgery. That picks pretty disastrous. I mean,

755
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,399
Speaker 1: his own teammate is one of the best running backs

756
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: in the league. And Belichick had the first pick right,

757
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 1: he picked before the Browns, and he just picked the

758
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: wrong guy. And don't get me wrong, I like Sony

759
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: a lot coming out. I thought he was gonna be sweet.

760
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 1: But Nick Chubb's on a completely different level. The Mike

761
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: Gundy situation. Uh it basically took off this today and

762
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: then ended today when they tweeted out a video him

763
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 1: and his star running back, who tweeted he was wearing

764
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: the shirt of this network called O a n full disclosure.

765
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: I've never even heard of the thing. I have so

766
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 1: many things that happened now that I see on social

767
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: media that people are getting worked up on like, I

768
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: don't even know what this means, and I feel like

769
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 1: I'm pretty locked in thirty five years old. I have

770
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,760
Speaker 1: never ever heard of that network, not once. Now. Granted

771
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: I'm not living and dying in like the political media.

772
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:06,959
Speaker 1: But if you told me there's like a network, would

773
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:08,959
Speaker 1: you know about it? I'd feel pretty confident that I would.

774
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: I honestly never did. And then it's a conservative network.

775
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: I guess it's not even a conservative network. It's an

776
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: all right network. Uh Now, some people on my timeline

777
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 1: claim it's just a conservative network. I don't know. I've

778
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 1: never seen anything from the network. But here's what I

779
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: did know. When Mike Gundy took a picture of the deal.

780
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,479
Speaker 1: Like with Drew Brees, he has a physical and a

781
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: a actual relationship with his players. They know him and

782
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,959
Speaker 1: if a guy's are senior on his team, he hasn't

783
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: just known him for four or five years. He knew

784
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 1: him probably since he was a junior in high school.

785
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 1: So they have a six seven year relationship. And Mike

786
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: Gundy was gonna be around this player and they got together.

787
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: They put out a video saying they were on the

788
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: same page. And I just think sometimes like cancel culture.

789
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 1: I just I don't even know what the end game

790
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: is with cancel culture. I I really don't, you know.

791
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: I just but that's one another thing. I don't really

792
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: get that worked up over it. Unless you came after me,

793
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,919
Speaker 1: then I'd be furious. But I can't. I can't fight

794
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 1: other people's battles or even try to. Again, I didn't

795
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: even know what the network was. I was pretty confident

796
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: that like everyone's like, is he gonna get fired? Like?

797
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: And I doubt it. Uh, And then by three hours

798
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: later he had a video up with his player. So

799
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: I I just think that Twitter right now and social

800
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: media is a very very divisive, angry place, And when

801
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: you have an actual relationship with someone, it's hard to

802
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,240
Speaker 1: divide to people. If I actually know you, and people

803
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: are like, you should fire him or you should hate him. Well,

804
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:42,959
Speaker 1: if I know him, I go, yeah, I don't really,

805
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 1: it doesn't bother me. Or I'll talk to him about it.

806
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: That's one thing that's been lost, actually talked to somebody.

807
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: And if you don't know the person you know, of

808
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: course you're going to have an adversarial relationship if it's

809
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: based on something that you tweeted that you don't like

810
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: and you know it's it's hard. I mean, society is

811
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: in a weird place right now. That's about it. And

812
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 1: let's dive in the Middlecoff mail back, Okay, let's go

813
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 1: middleoff mail back at John Middlecoff is the Instagram handle

814
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: and d MS wide open. Okay. From Matt as a

815
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,280
Speaker 1: Niner fan, the Super Bowl loss was a huge bummer,

816
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 1: but the end of the day, Shanahan is leading the

817
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 1: charge and should definitely win one. What are the actual

818
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: chances he never does? In your opinion, seems like all

819
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,800
Speaker 1: the elite coaches win at least one, if not multiple,

820
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: you know, like you say with a player, you go like,

821
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 1: if Mahomes stays healthy or Russell Wilson stays healthy, he's

822
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: gonna be an all time great. I think if Kyle

823
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: can just you know, have functional quarterbacks, he's gonna have chances,

824
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: you know, And there's a lot of unknown as years

825
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: go on. Obviously, the news of the day you got

826
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: a contract extension, but we all knew he was gonna

827
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: go anywhere. The key for coach Reid is for two

828
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: runs now, you know. For in Philly for a while

829
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 1: he had Jim Johnson had a great deef as a coordinator,

830
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 1: and I know the I can't what was the guy's

831
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: named Bob Sutton who he fired last year. But for

832
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 1: the first you know, four or five years, their defense

833
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: was really good in Kansas City. It was just Alex

834
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 1: kind of left a little something to be desired. And

835
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: then this year they finally the defense came on. They

836
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl. Sean Payton won a Super Bowl,

837
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 1: Peak Carroll won a Super Bowl. I just think Kyle's

838
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: gonna yeah. I mean, I would bet if you said

839
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars right now, is he gonna win one

840
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 1: or is he not gonna win one? I'd say, yeah,

841
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna win one. I just think he's got a

842
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: chance to be an all time great. Uh. He's an

843
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: elite play caller. He's a high level guy. He's a

844
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: smart guy. He's just an impressive human. And I think

845
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: the Niners got you know, it took him a little while.

846
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you go from Tom Seula to Chip, but

847
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: you end up with Kyle Shanahan. They got pretty lucky. Uh.

848
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: Building on the question you had for Lamar Jackson, the

849
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: Ravens built a team in a playbook to a commodate

850
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 1: Lamar's running game. I can't remember where where I read it,

851
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: but with a new O C d C and maybe

852
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 1: a quarter back, they have an advantage because there's no

853
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 1: tape on them. How much can d c s adjust

854
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: their defense to limit Lamar's running and will that be

855
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: where we see if he's all that? A lot of

856
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: people are already saying that he's the top three quarterback.

857
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: I agree that he had an awesome season last year,

858
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:18,399
Speaker 1: but when the Ravens got to the postseason, they did

859
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: not reach the n SC Championship as many expecials expected

860
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: in a clash of the powerhouse against the Chiefs. Looking

861
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 1: forward to hearing your views, I think historically, uh, unique

862
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: run games and the option kind of you know, I

863
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 1: don't even know how you would describe what they do.

864
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 1: It's it's it's like what Roman did with Kaepernick, but

865
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:47,280
Speaker 1: they've added some elements. But eventually, with the Kaepernick Roman offense,

866
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: it actually didn't really stop working. They just tried to

867
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: expand it for Kaepernick and he wasn't able to just

868
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,919
Speaker 1: be like five wide receiver guy. If they just would

869
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 1: have kept running Kaepernick, they might have been more successful

870
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 1: the fourth year when the wheels fell off with Greg Roman.

871
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: Trent Balky's daughter once famously tweeted fire Roman in the

872
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: middle of the game, the dot the general manager's daughter classic, Uh,

873
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:15,760
Speaker 1: I don't I think it will be kind of difficult

874
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 1: to just stop the running game. They draft DK Dobbins,

875
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: they have Ingram Lamar is just like Michael Vick in

876
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: his prime. The one thing that I think could stop

877
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: it if he gets hurt. Now, as you see that

878
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 1: video when he's running around on the sand, he's such

879
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 1: an elite runner. The problem, though, like you allude to,

880
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,399
Speaker 1: it's hard to make a play like that doesn't work

881
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. You can't. You can't run your quarterback

882
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 1: to the to the super Bowl. It's not gonna happen.

883
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: It's literally never happened and it never will. So how

884
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 1: do you balance letting him throw where you're going to

885
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 1: ultimately need to do to beat Patrick Mahomes and beat

886
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 1: the Niners or beat the Saint or whoever you play

887
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. So that's to me, there's a

888
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 1: balance there, and I think you have to implement that

889
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 1: a little more throughout the season. And I think sometimes

890
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: and it's hard right, if you're running the ball down

891
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: someone's throat, why change. But at the end of the day,

892
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: you need to be able to throw to win big

893
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:12,959
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. It's just that's just tried and true

894
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: formula that will never change in the NFL. So I

895
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: think you just have to mix in more passing concepts

896
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 1: uh throughout the season because they're they're so talented, they're

897
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: gonna win a ton of games. I admit that I'm

898
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: not in your normal age demographic. I'm closer to Brady

899
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: than Baker. I never served in the military. I was, however,

900
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 1: working for New York City on nine eleven and still

901
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 1: get tears when I see the photo of the firefighters

902
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 1: raising the flag. Like many Americans, I'm in full supportive

903
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter, But to me, the flag means something.

904
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 1: If TV numbers tell us anything, it's that the American

905
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: people will support a protest. This country constantly needs change,

906
00:44:56,520 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 1: but we the people don't like people disrespecting our flag. Yeah, listen,

907
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: I have no problem with anyone having their own views,

908
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 1: and I think that's become one of the problems right

909
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: now with social media, Like you're not really allowed to

910
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: have your own views. You have to think like the media,

911
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 1: you know, and I think that's unhealthy a lot of

912
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:19,839
Speaker 1: the times. Like I don't think like everyone else. Hell,

913
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 1: I don't have a lot in common with the media.

914
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 1: The media, as you can see, like kind of hates business,

915
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: hates the economy. I don't care. Like I'm not like

916
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: that at all. Uh So, you know, I I'm pro

917
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 1: having your own views and I'm not big in you know,

918
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: the media loves talking about diversity, they hate diversity of thought.

919
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm a big believer in the diversity of thought. I

920
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 1: have a lot of liberal friends. I have a lot

921
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 1: of conservative friends. I have a lot of in the

922
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 1: middle friends. I got people all over. I don't think

923
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 1: enough people, uh in my profession that cover sports, clearly

924
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 1: they don't have many, Like they're all really really left wing.

925
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 1: They don't have enough conservative friends. I think it just

926
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: helps balance you out and helps you just hear other opinions.

927
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: And social media is definitely not the place to have

928
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: these conversations. But I think it's more than fair if

929
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 1: that is your opinion. Like the flag means something to you,

930
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: now what the players will tell you. And one thing

931
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: that I've really heard over the last you know two

932
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: weeks that I don't think the flag means something different

933
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: to me. I've heard players talk about that or people

934
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: that have been involved in this, and you just, my god,

935
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 1: I never thought that. I take a lot of pride

936
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: in the flag. Like my my dad's brother died in Vietnam.

937
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 1: Both my grandparents served in World War Two. I'm a

938
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 1: big pro military guy. Like the flag means a lot

939
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: to me. I take a lot of pride in it. Now,

940
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: America has been pretty good to me right. It's enabled

941
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 1: me to go to college. And my dad was a

942
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 1: farmer and then boom, I didn't want to be a farmer.

943
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: I got a job in football and got to go

944
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 1: to the NFL. America has been great to me. I

945
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:49,760
Speaker 1: didn't know anyone in the NFL, didn't know a soul.

946
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 1: But this is the one country where you can kind

947
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 1: of do whatever you want. At least I feel that way. Uh.

948
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: And I do feel that way for most you know people,

949
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: but some will push back and say that's not necessary

950
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 1: really true. I know for me, I do feel that

951
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 1: way because I've literally done whatever I put my mind to,

952
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: and I didn't have any economic advantages where I knew

953
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 1: a guy in a league that hired me. It's just like,

954
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,280
Speaker 1: I just had a start in the bottom, made no money,

955
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 1: lived in you know, shitty area of Philadelphia my first year,

956
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 1: lived in a crappy apartment in Fresno, and just swung

957
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 1: my pick. Like a lot of you listening, right, you

958
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 1: just whatever business you wanted to get into, you just

959
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,800
Speaker 1: start at the bottom. You start swinging, and hopefully eventually

960
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: good things happen. But I'm with you. I take a

961
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 1: lot of pride in the flag, though I'm just so

962
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 1: numb to it. I'm unbothered by it by it doesn't

963
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:37,959
Speaker 1: bother me. But if it does bother you, I don't

964
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,840
Speaker 1: hold that against you. Uh, you know, if you feel

965
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 1: some disrespect, I get it. Isn't that the point of this?

966
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 1: Like we're allowed to you know, I get it. They

967
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: can say, and they do say that it has nothing

968
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: to do with the military. Well, I understand if someone says, well,

969
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 1: I equate the military with the flag, and that I

970
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: think is just kind of the conundrum we find ourselves

971
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 1: in with this. What it is a polarizing issue. It is,

972
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: and I think sometimes that which is hard. We don't

973
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 1: all think alike, and we shouldn't. Quick note, I agree

974
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 1: that kneeling during the anthem is a right and expression

975
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 1: freedom of speech, but I don't feel like everyone has

976
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 1: to agree with that. See we're getting these questions, has

977
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: to agree with the specific expression. I understand it's not

978
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,360
Speaker 1: about the flag or our military. I don't agree with

979
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 1: the stance during that time, but that's my opinion. Why

980
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 1: do you think we have gotten so far away from

981
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 1: allowing other people to have opinions. It's created an even

982
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 1: greater divide and wedge between people. I have a thought

983
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: for a while that kind of that sports is kind

984
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 1: of the last uniting force in the country. Now I'm

985
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 1: a little afraid that we will burn this bridge to anyway.

986
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 1: Sorry for the long note, just wanted your opinion. Well,

987
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 1: I saw I think Jim Trotter tweeked this out that

988
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 1: sixteen of the NFL owners were huge downers to Donald Trump,

989
00:48:55,520 --> 00:49:00,399
Speaker 1: and if we wanted real change, that they to start

990
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: putting their money where their mouth is and listen. I

991
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: understand not liking Donald Trump, right, he's crazy, I get it.

992
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 1: I I do understand where the irony is. He's a

993
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: lifetime Democrat in New York, changed the Republican to win.

994
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 1: He's not he doesn't have political opinions. He does anything

995
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 1: to stay elected. Right, But the notion of that tweet

996
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 1: was almost like, well, if they had given their money

997
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:28,240
Speaker 1: to a bunch of Democratic politicians, you would applaud them.

998
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 1: And this is where I always pushed back, like I've

999
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 1: lived in the state of California thirty five my thirty

1000
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: or thirty three of my thirty five years of life.

1001
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 1: Over the last ten years, California has created incredible historic

1002
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 1: amount of wealth. We also lead the country in poverty

1003
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 1: over that period of time. And who do you think

1004
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:49,280
Speaker 1: that disproportionately impacts? So this notion that like one side

1005
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 1: is a lot better than the other side. And that's

1006
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:52,799
Speaker 1: where I get with the diversity of thought, Like, if

1007
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 1: you're not thinking liberal views, you're wrong. Well, I mean

1008
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 1: I live in California. I see it. It's it helps

1009
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,760
Speaker 1: the rich. It ain't out many other people. I'll promise

1010
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 1: you that no one cares about the poor here. And

1011
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 1: we have a ton of areas where our richest progressive live.

1012
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 1: They refuse to build any low income housing in the area. Uh,

1013
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:15,360
Speaker 1: they make it very very difficult for housing projects to

1014
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: be built. Just throughout. The greater are the communities because

1015
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 1: it lowers the value like this notion that one side

1016
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: is pure and the other side is evil. This is

1017
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 1: why I don't really get into politics, because I don't

1018
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 1: think either side cares. It's just complete kind of bullshit.

1019
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 1: And that's where I think the NFL, like you said,

1020
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: has gotten so involved and the media stakes their claim

1021
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 1: because they're so liberal. It's almost like you gotta be

1022
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 1: like us or you're against us. But it's like, well,

1023
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 1: let's gets back to what Colin Kaepernick said when he

1024
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 1: initially kneeled, and they're like, so, you're gonna vote for Hillary? Right.

1025
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 1: The media was so happy because I thought he was

1026
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 1: gonna say, I'm gonna vote Hillary Clinton, and he looked

1027
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 1: at him like, no, I'm not gonna vote failure. I'm

1028
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 1: not voting for either because neither side cares about me.

1029
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:58,360
Speaker 1: The systemic racism that they're all fighting has been carried

1030
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: over by both sides this entire your time. Nothing has

1031
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: changed regardless who was in office. And I'm with you

1032
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 1: the political side. The one thing people come to sports,

1033
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:14,320
Speaker 1: and I get, you know, I have no problem with

1034
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 1: people having their own opinions, but a reason the sports

1035
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:19,879
Speaker 1: make so much money is because they have so many

1036
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 1: people that watch the sport, whether especially in the NFL,

1037
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 1: and in no business do you want to drive fans away.

1038
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: And it's gonna be fascinating this fall because I think

1039
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 1: the kneeling is going to be, assuming we have a season,

1040
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 1: is gonna be everywhere and the reaction and I get listen, like,

1041
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 1: you know, I don't care you guys tweeting. I don't

1042
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:41,800
Speaker 1: know if some of you aren't that offended or whatever,

1043
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: but if a lot less people are watching and the

1044
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 1: ratings go down like that is an economic issue for

1045
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 1: the league. It's why they want to just avoid and

1046
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:53,439
Speaker 1: be politically neutral. They want to be politically neutral. There's

1047
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:55,760
Speaker 1: a reason Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan were politically neutral

1048
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 1: the whole time. Two bigges sports stars in my life

1049
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 1: resonate with everybody I got. You want to be Lebron James.

1050
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 1: Be Lebron James, but there's a reason he'll never even

1051
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: sniff being as big as those two guys. Just a

1052
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 1: thought that i'd be that I'd like to be brought

1053
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,840
Speaker 1: up during your podcast. Why are successful quarterbacks with offensive

1054
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 1: help early in their careers? Rogers Breeze, FARV looked at

1055
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 1: more favorably compared to successful quarterbacks that had defensive help

1056
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 1: early Wilson, big Ben, and Brady. We can agree that

1057
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 1: all these quarterbacks have a mess immense talent, but the

1058
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 1: offensive quarterbacks that are deemed to have more talent. Yeah,

1059
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 1: it's just but the reality is it's not where he

1060
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: started where you finish. Like Roethlisberger and Brady were clearly

1061
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:43,880
Speaker 1: carried really really young. But I mean Brady became the

1062
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 1: greatest quarterback ever. The older version of Roethlisberger became a dominant,

1063
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 1: dominant offensive player. Look how good Russell Wilson has been

1064
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:54,799
Speaker 1: these last three or four years. Farv was more as

1065
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 1: coaching changed. Breeze is just like a solid, consistent guy.

1066
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 1: Rod Jurors I just had a pretty stack deck. Now

1067
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 1: his defense has sucked, but he had a lot of

1068
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:08,360
Speaker 1: weapons over the years. I mean, think how many sweet

1069
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 1: wide receivers he had. You've talked multiple times about your

1070
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 1: path through the NFL through college. I'm currently in an

1071
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:20,319
Speaker 1: application process for Pro Football Focus, have zero experience ever

1072
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 1: playing football, but I'm a huge fan of the sport, Fantasy, etc.

1073
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 1: Was wondering what your thoughts are on PFF and their

1074
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: influenced potential doorway into the football industry. Well, I think

1075
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 1: they're in the industry right there. Their their partners with teams.

1076
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: They play a big role. Every team subscribes to them.

1077
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 1: So if you want to get to the job, like

1078
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:42,840
Speaker 1: I said, there is no direct path. I met people

1079
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:46,239
Speaker 1: in the NFL that interned in the NFL films, that

1080
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 1: worked in college football, that went straight to the league,

1081
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:51,920
Speaker 1: that had played football. PFF probably another way they went

1082
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,880
Speaker 1: to law school. I would say, if you get that

1083
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,359
Speaker 1: job and you want to go, do it, because that

1084
00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 1: is a great way and a stepping owned to get

1085
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 1: yourself just in front of some NFL decision makers and

1086
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 1: people that you would never have the opportunity to be around.

1087
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 1: Why doesn't Cleveland signed Cam Newton. There's a real chance

1088
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 1: Baker is bad again this year, and their loaded roster

1089
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: should be able to win. Now. If they have another

1090
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,400
Speaker 1: disappointing season, it seems like they'd be headed toward another

1091
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 1: decade of being the most being maybe the biggest joke

1092
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:20,440
Speaker 1: of the franchise Sports has ever seen. Would love to

1093
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 1: hear thoughts. I think it's simple. They drafted Baker Mayfield

1094
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 1: number one overall number one overall. When you take a

1095
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 1: guy that high and he's going into year three, you

1096
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 1: just gotta see it. Like you cannot bring in Cam

1097
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:36,319
Speaker 1: Newton there like Baker's got a sink or swim, and

1098
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:38,400
Speaker 1: I think they're keeping their fingers crossed. He swims like

1099
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: Michael Phelps, because if he doesn't, they just have a

1100
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 1: disastrous pick and then they're not gonna pick up his

1101
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:48,279
Speaker 1: fifth year option. So I I think that I think

1102
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:54,800
Speaker 1: it's really that simple. Never would have thought this is possible,

1103
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 1: But lately I'm starting to think that Colin kaepern It

1104
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:58,400
Speaker 1: could be a good fit in Buffalo. His style of

1105
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 1: play would compliment Josh Allen is ardor what are your thoughts? Uh?

1106
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 1: Not crazy, not crazy at all. I think the political

1107
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 1: was have been pretty outspoken in social issues. Uh yeah,

1108
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 1: I mean, who's their backup now, Matt Barkley, who really

1109
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 1: has nothing in common with Josh Allen. They did draft

1110
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 1: Jake from but then he said those racist comments, so

1111
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 1: who knows he might be in trouble. Yeah, I don't,

1112
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think it's crazy. I someone just

1113
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:24,239
Speaker 1: needs to sign him so we can just end the

1114
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 1: conversation of just giving him the opportunity. And when I

1115
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: say in the conversation, I mean in the conversation of

1116
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:31,800
Speaker 1: talking about Colin kaepern At coming back to the NFL,

1117
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 1: because no quarterback ever we've been five years removed from

1118
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:37,239
Speaker 1: them playing, we still continually talk about him. I just

1119
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 1: hope the guy gets signed. So the conversation about him

1120
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 1: playing in the NFL, though, I do think it's done.

1121
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:46,960
Speaker 1: He sued the league, he got paid off. Uh. But

1122
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 1: it's clearly a pretty complicated issue and there's pressure, it

1123
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 1: feels like from the players a little bit. Johnny millennial middlecoff,

1124
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 1: big time Chargers fan, and I'm a little worried that

1125
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:00,920
Speaker 1: Herbert may be more physical gifts than actual playing ability,

1126
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 1: mostly because of his weakness is going off script and improvisation.

1127
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:06,319
Speaker 1: Can you think of a recent pro example who was

1128
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:09,799
Speaker 1: drafted with limited playmaking ability who cut loose when he

1129
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:12,840
Speaker 1: was developed a more instinctual game in the NFL. I

1130
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 1: know you're big on him, but I am struggling to

1131
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 1: find optimism seeing as we passed on Simmons love the show. Uh,

1132
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:24,359
Speaker 1: So you're saying more of a robot that turned playmaker.

1133
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 1: I think that the bad one would be Mariota who

1134
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:30,840
Speaker 1: was a little robotic State robotic. Herbert is way more talented.

1135
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 1: I'd say Wentz and Josh Allen are more playmakers and

1136
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 1: still are more playmakers than kind of inside the script.

1137
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 1: I'd say Russell Wilson has developed that a lot over

1138
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:47,799
Speaker 1: his career. Uh, it's a good question. I mean, you're right,

1139
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:50,759
Speaker 1: you bring up a good point. He is that there is.

1140
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:53,360
Speaker 1: I mean, he he's really really talented. He has the

1141
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 1: physical attributes. They're just gonna have to get him to

1142
00:56:56,120 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 1: relax and play free. But I always just leaen with

1143
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 1: you know guys that have physical talent, I really do,

1144
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:08,839
Speaker 1: and they just take my chances. He's smart, he's got

1145
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 1: all the physical tools. He's had success in college. He

1146
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:14,279
Speaker 1: was productive in college. Now he has some things he

1147
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 1: has to work on, but at a high level. Two

1148
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 1: I I I don't blame it at all. My question

1149
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 1: is do you think Tiger will pass Jack's record? If so,

1150
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 1: how much longer do you think it will take him?

1151
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 1: And how many majors would you estimate he will obtain

1152
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 1: before his career said and done. What's funny is about

1153
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 1: eight o'clock at night and on TV behind me is

1154
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:36,480
Speaker 1: I just got the Golf channel on and it's the

1155
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:39,040
Speaker 1: two thousand US Open at Pebble Beach and Tiger is

1156
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 1: beaten everyone's but he's up by like fifteen strokes on

1157
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 1: the back nine on Sunday. Uh, so he's got fourteen

1158
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 1: or does he have fifteen? I mean major Tiger wasever

1159
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 1: right now. I think one of his issues is he

1160
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 1: can't play in the cold because of a stiff back,

1161
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 1: and he doesn't play that much, so it's got to

1162
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 1: be warm areas, right he has So he has fifteen Majors,

1163
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 1: so Jack has eighteen. He's got to win four more

1164
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 1: to pass him. I think that's gonna be pretty difficult.

1165
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 1: I would say he's gonna have a shot the next

1166
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:18,320
Speaker 1: three or four years of the Masters. This year, I don't.

1167
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what the weather is like in Augusta

1168
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 1: in November, but it's he's better in warm weather. The

1169
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 1: PGA Championships at Harding Park, I played it a couple

1170
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. The problem is that by the Bay,

1171
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 1: it's in San Francisco, it can get cold. So I

1172
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 1: don't really like him in the Majors this year. Next year,

1173
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 1: back to a normal schedule, hopefully maybe he can get rolling.

1174
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 1: He needs to play places that are warm because you

1175
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 1: gotta stiff back. You got all these injuries. I will

1176
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:47,320
Speaker 1: say this, though, I don't want to make too much

1177
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:51,360
Speaker 1: of the Peyton Manning Tom Brady match. He looked incredible

1178
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:54,760
Speaker 1: in that it is his home course, but it was

1179
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 1: just he looked like he would have shot sixty four

1180
00:58:57,040 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 1: with his eyes closed. Still one of the best iron

1181
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:02,560
Speaker 1: player is, if not the best iron player in America,

1182
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 1: in the world potentially, um, but it's gonna be a

1183
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 1: lot harder. These guys are just so good. They hit

1184
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 1: the ball so far. I would say, realistically, if I

1185
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 1: was a betting man, he does not pass them, I'd

1186
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 1: say probably best case scenario wins like two more majors.

1187
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:20,640
Speaker 1: It's gonna it's really difficult to win majors now. I

1188
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 1: mean the competition. I'm looking up, he's playing Ernie Els,

1189
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:28,920
Speaker 1: who's older. I mean, it's the competition. Back when he

1190
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 1: was kicking everyone's ass is wasn't even as close. Now.

1191
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 1: I'm not taking anything away from he was dominant, but

1192
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 1: these guys, it's just the fields are deeper. Man. These

1193
00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 1: guys are good. I mean, you've got twenty three year olds,

1194
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 1: Colin Marikawa, you got Matt Wolf, you got Victor Hovelin

1195
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 1: on top of all the guys in their late twenties,

1196
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 1: like Justin Thomas, George Spee is getting it back. He

1197
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 1: got Kepka. You know Rory is still really good. You

1198
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 1: got Bryson de Chambo, who looks like Nick Bosa right now.

1199
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 1: I I would love I mean I cried when Tiger

1200
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 1: was the Masters. I love Tiger was. I love them,

1201
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 1: but I don't feel great about it. To be completely honest.

1202
01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:09,360
Speaker 1: You always say the NFL is handling this well. But

1203
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 1: are they? Or do they just have it easy to

1204
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:14,160
Speaker 1: handle right now? They really only have a plan which

1205
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:17,040
Speaker 1: every team has had for the last four months. What

1206
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:19,920
Speaker 1: is going to separate the NFL reopening, because it seems

1207
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 1: like they got lucky with the timing and that's it

1208
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 1: could be curious. Well, they're just gonna play like the

1209
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:29,360
Speaker 1: basketball players can't get on the same page. Baseball refuses

1210
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:33,000
Speaker 1: to negotiate. Football will just show up. Now. You can't.

1211
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 1: You can't really avoid coronavirus if guys are getting it,

1212
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:37,440
Speaker 1: if you're following on the protocols, So there's nothing you

1213
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:39,320
Speaker 1: can do, Like that's what I'm saying, I'm not gonna

1214
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 1: guys are getting coronavirus? What am I gonna Because people

1215
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:45,480
Speaker 1: are getting coronavirus? What are you gonna do? But they

1216
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 1: will do everything possible to play. Like Baseball, they can't

1217
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:52,040
Speaker 1: even get a deal done. Basketball have the league doesn't

1218
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 1: want to go to Orlando because they don't want to

1219
01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:56,680
Speaker 1: stay in the hotels. You got Kyrie refusing to go there,

1220
01:00:56,720 --> 01:01:00,240
Speaker 1: he claims because of systematic racism. And then Matt Barnes, well,

1221
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 1: actually it's because they weren't gonna allow him to go.

1222
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:04,360
Speaker 1: So it's just like none of the players are on

1223
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:06,240
Speaker 1: the same page football when you tell him the report

1224
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:08,240
Speaker 1: that will report. Now, are they gonna be able to

1225
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 1: play season? I don't know. But there are other players

1226
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:12,680
Speaker 1: and their coaches and the owners are all on the

1227
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 1: same page. So I just I just think they have

1228
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 1: more unity. Part of it, the CBA has done, everyone's

1229
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 1: under contract. Everyone's got the same goal trying to make money.

1230
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 1: Baseball you got the owners trying to screw the players.

1231
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 1: The players hate the owners. Basketball, I don't even know

1232
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 1: how to describe it anymore. So yeah, I just think

1233
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 1: that they'll have an advantage that way. Appreciate everyone listening. UH,

1234
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:36,680
Speaker 1: have a good week, stay safe, and hopefully, by the

1235
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 1: next time he's listening to my podcast, I'll have an

1236
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 1: air conditioning up and running audio.
