12
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: said that if you're listening, uh, and you've only been

13
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: on the show once and you weren't asked back, I

14
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't read into it, but maybe read into it a

15
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: little bit, because sometimes you do get that one shot

16
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: and uh and if you don't hit, you don't make

17
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,639

Speaker 1: That was it one and done and done. That was

22
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: like three in the morning. Between the lines even pepper

23

Speaker 1: You know, the NFL has got a lot of money

32
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: to just throw around there, like get a little younger,

33
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,480

73
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: thing I've ever done in my career, now that I

74
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,520

Speaker 1: the streets of Los Angeles, where I am currently engaged

83
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: on a lengthy staycation. And here's what I've achieved this week.

84
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: Literally nothing. Listen to his voice, by the way, it

85
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: sounds like a man did get that or was that

86
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: pulled off of something? Yeah said, work, you gotta send

87
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: me something. You know what Mark's staycation his latest staycation.

88
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this. Steve Mark takes

89
00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: a week where he disappears within Los Angeles for his family,

90
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: from his friends, from everyone, and you'll get an occasional

91
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: more than occasional text dispatches, maybe an Instagram photo or

92
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: a tweet um castigating the entire social media industry. This

93
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: has been a particularly interesting Mark Sessler staycation. And you

94
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: could hear it in his voice that he's been on

95
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: an adventure. It's been wild for him. If that wild reports,

96
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: it feels like a mixture of like a crime noir

97
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: detective and hunter s Thompson. He's out with Frank Signetti, Yes,

98
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: Frank Signetti, bride and eye. Um. You think he's staying

99
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: at the Econo Lodge right down the street, which he's

100
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: been known to do as well. Yeah, he's been right

101
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: down there. He does. He does seem to have that

102
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: kind of forty hours forensic files hotel vibe about it.

103
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: Yes he does, but you're serious. He stays with the

104
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: Econolz's been known to do it across from the coast.

105
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: I was talking there. I was talking to Henry about

106
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: it today, Handsome Hank. Uh. You usually if you're staying

107
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: at the Econo Lodge, you either have it falling out

108
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: with your wife and it's sad, unfortunate, or you're in

109
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: some type of you know, fair tryst tryst alright, I

110
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: like trstr Jones, but Mark is Mark is unique in

111
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: so many ways. Mark just there is a econolage. Probably

112
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 1: sometimes it just goes on in hood. Uh, sometimes Hollywood,

113
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: but sometimes right across. He's got an expansive list. All right,

114
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: the big that's so sad. Uh we'll start, yes, where

115
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: you have to start right now. The biggest story in

116
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: the NFL this week, UH changes approved by team owners

117
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: at the Spring league meeting. Players who don't want to

118
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: stand during the anthem will be allowed to stay off

119
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: the field. The clubs of the power to set their

120
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: own policies, UH to ensure that the anthem is being respected. Uh.

121
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: So you can stay in the locker room, but if

122
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: you're on the field, you have to kneel or else,

123
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: which has led to a lot of consternation and controversy.

124
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: And it may not be surprised, but Donald Trump, the

125
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: President of the United States, had something to say about this.

126
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: He said, the NFL quote did the right thing by

127
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: implementing this new policy. And here's more from Trump. I

128
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: think that's good, he said on Fox News. I don't

129
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: think people should be staying in locker rooms, but I

130
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: still think it's good. You have to stand proudly for

131
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: the national anthem, or you shouldn't be playing, you shouldn't

132
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: be there, Maybe you shouldn't be in the country. You

133
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: have to stand proudly for the national anthem. And the

134
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: NFL owners did the right thing if that's what they've done. Uh, Steve,

135
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: wish you were at the spring meetings when all of

136
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: this went down. Uh your thoughts on the situation. Well, look,

137
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: it's just so funny because in speaking and this is

138
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: speaking to like people in the league office and some owners,

139
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: the one thing, the one thing that kind of almost

140
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: drove this. While the owners felt they had to do something,

141
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: is they wanted to keep the NFL out of the

142
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's emposphere and what several people told me is

143
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: that leading up to the mid term elections, because this

144
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: is gonna be a contested election statewide, nationwide, is they

145
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: did not want the Trump base to be talking about

146
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: what those players and what those owners and the NFL

147
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: we're doing during the going the lead up to the

148
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: mid terms, which is basically the start of the NFL season.

149
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: And we saw what happened when when Donald Trump called

150
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: those players s obs for not standing for the national anthem.

151
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: It gend up the base and he did not again

152
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: want that. The owners, i should say, did not want

153
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: that again to be kind of the spark having the

154
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: NFL's name out there, which is crazy because you can

155
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: do anything. You can placate him as much as you want,

156
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: and if he needs something to divert or to get

157
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: things going, he can drop your name in there. So

158
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: it's it's just funny how the next day he came

159
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: out and said on Fox in front of the NFL

160
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,599
Speaker 1: did the right thing. Now, as much I'll say this,

161
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: as as much as we've seen blowback from players, uh

162
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: some you know Steve Kerr in the NBA, the Golden

163
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: State Warrior. The NFL expected this and expected it's it's

164
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: may So they're figuring by the time the season starts,

165
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: this will die down. We'll be talking about will Baker

166
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: Mayfield take over Tyrod Taylor. You know you heard Jerry

167
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: Jones come out and say, hey, maybe we can start

168
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: talking about football and football only. Um, but we'll we'll see,

169
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: we'll see how all of this and it's all gonna

170
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: come down to because now they're giving these clubs states rights.

171
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: Thirty two teams get to make their own rules on

172
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: what they call workplace rules. It's gonna affect us, guys.

173
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: Believe that I'm in all of this effects anybody who's

174
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 1: involved with the NFL. So you know, it looks like

175
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: Jed York and Chris Johnson they might not do anything

176
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 1: that might just say okay, if a player Niels will

177
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: will pay the fine. We heard Chris Johnson say that.

178
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: Jed York told me, hey, look if I if I

179
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 1: if the club gets fined, you know, if a player

180
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: does something, maybe I can say, okay, that money you're

181
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: gonna find me. How about if I just give this

182
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: to the player's coalition cause instead of going the NFL's charities.

183
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of things that have to be done.

184
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: But the most important and part of this is these owners.

185
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: They better get these meeting rooms of players. Because the

186
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: trust that had been built over the past few months,

187
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of owners, Robert Kraft, Geoffrey Loury,

188
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: Jimmy hasslm they have been with their players in the community,

189
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 1: is going to prisons, doing a lot of things to

190
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: help social justice reform. A lot of that trust now

191
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: has been broken because the players, some players, not all players.

192
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: Some players felt that they were kind of hoodwinked by this.

193
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: So we'll see how the reaction is. But the biggest

194
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: thing we're talking about player reaction. The owners listened to

195
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: the fan and sponsor reaction by doing something, and those

196
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: are the voices clearly that matter the most of them

197
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 1: by making this decision. So again, there's a lot of

198
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: time to see how this plays out, but the league

199
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: expected this blowback. They'd rather have it in May. That again,

200
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: like I said at the start of the season, but

201
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: don't you think it will be just reset when the

202
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: first preseason, the first week of preseason games, the first

203
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: week in the regular season, everybody's gonna be watching. And

204
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna happen the preseas, there's too

205
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: many guys you know who need to make the team,

206
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: you know, and starters don't play. The most starters don't dress,

207
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: So I don't think you're gonna see much of the priest.

208
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: It would be week one, Um, you know, if something happens,

209
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: all eyes are going to be on that one. Though

210
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: when when I really I'm not sure that it would

211
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: have been as much it wasn't by Week fifteen, sixteen

212
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: seventeen last year. There's only a few different players demonstrating.

213
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: Everyone just kind of accepted that this is part of it.

214
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: So if the intent, and we you know, we mentioned

215
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: it last time, was to make it less political, I

216
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: just kind of can't imagine it not being a topic

217
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: with the midterm elections. And I think that's partly because

218
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: football is one of the only things that brings the

219
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: country together, even if everyone disagrees. There's a reason why

220
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: it's been a popular, you know issue I think for

221
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: Trump and in general, is because it's something that gets

222
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: people going. It gets a reaction, a response from both sides. Uh,

223
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: there's there's two sides to every story. And Doug Baldwin, Uh,

224
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: in his media availability this week called Donald Trump an

225
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: idiot after Trump's comments on Fox Brandon Marshall, Uh, you

226
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: use the word disgusting to describe Trump's remarks, saying, uh, uh,

227
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: it's an abuse of First Amendment rights. On the other

228
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: side of a Drew Brees, who's made himself clear during

229
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: this uh entire, entire saga in revolving the anthem, but

230
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: he was on the Dan Patrick Show, uh, and he said,

231
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: I think that the national anthem is a way to

232
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 1: unify everyone. I think by some people kneeling and some

233
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: people standing and all that, I think it's very divisive

234
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,599
Speaker 1: for a country. Um. So there aren't two sides of

235
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: the story, but there is um a very vocal contingent

236
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: that is upset about what the situation is right now

237
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: and it's going to continue that be that way. And

238
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: it's hard for me to imagine wes um that come

239
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 1: week one, like we're saying that this point won't be

240
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: the biggest story in the NFL. Yeah, I can't. I

241
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: can't imagine. Like Greg said that it would have been

242
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: near is many eyeballs if they just left it alone

243
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: and didn't do anything. I'm sort of thrown off by

244
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: the whole issue. That it's become so absurd. I just

245
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 1: don't understand, Like if you wanted to, I can't even

246
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: say what I want to say, Like if you wanted

247
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: to make it all about football, why do you have flyovers? Yeah,

248
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: And there's just so many I think it opens up

249
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: a lot of questions. Because Chris Johnson, you know, the

250
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: jets um chairman right now is running the team, said

251
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: political it was brother who works for for the president,

252
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 1: said that he would he would pay any fines that

253
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 1: any players. Uh incurred because he previously had said he

254
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: doesn't think anything needs to be changed, so he made

255
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: it clear he doesn't really agree with this. Jed York Uh,

256
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: you know, the forty Niners owner, at least entertained the

257
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: idea that maybe he would hold off on concession sales

258
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: during the anthem, because there's kind of a disconnect of, well,

259
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: if we really, you know, respect the anthem in quotes

260
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: that much, why are we selling beard during it? And

261
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 1: actually that that is a policy that some teams, like

262
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 1: in baseball, they don't is that even a controversial? That's

263
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: common sense, right, and everyone is supposed to respect the anthem,

264
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: then the rules should apply to everyone, right, But We've

265
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: obviously all been at sporting events. I've been at urinals

266
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: during the anthem. That's just, that's just the reality is

267
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: that everyone is also communist. But we've been in stadiums

268
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: a kickoff. You tell me one stadium maybe Pittsburgh, maybe

269
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: where it's filled to capacity during the playing of the

270
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: national anthem. The majority of the time this happens, the

271
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: stadium is half full. Television cameras do not televise the

272
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: playing of the national anthem except for the Super Bowl

273
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: and except Week three last year, after Trump dropped the

274
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: s w web bomb about NFL players and everyone got

275
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: bent out of shape, but everyone gave this false, hey,

276
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna be united, which was to me a bad

277
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: reaction by players, owners and everything because they got butt

278
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: hurt because the presidents are acted them into this. So

279
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: the fact, here's the thing, so many owners went into this.

280
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: I would probably a thirty owners went into this saying,

281
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: we don't need to do anything. The narrative we heard

282
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: over the past few league meetings is we don't need

283
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: to touch it. But for some reason they felt now

284
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: is the time because they didn't want to get caught

285
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: flat footed. That was what was said I don't know

286
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: what they meant about getting caught flat footed, but they

287
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: felt they needed to do something again. I mean, I

288
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: know we worked up about this now. I'm just very

289
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: interested to see how this is gonna be two or

290
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: three months from now, because Frank we we've heard from

291
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: a handful of players we haven't heard There's not remember,

292
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: there's players in the NFL. There's a lot of other

293
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: person that we haven't heard from. So is this really

294
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: bending the noses of everybody in the NFL right there there?

295
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: They're going to be an organized reaction like there was

296
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: a year ago. I guess I just wouldn't think that

297
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: the chance of that are more likely because they just

298
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: feel like they're getting back to their corner. We'll see,

299
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: we'll see. I mean, I know, if I was a

300
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: player and I here Donald Trump saying that kneeling uh

301
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: and exercising my right to a peaceful protest, I should

302
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: be kicked out of the country. I shouldn't even be here.

303
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: I would not react well to that. And and it's

304
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: such it goes against what Roger Goodell even said in

305
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: his statement, which is part of what the whole disconnect is,

306
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: which is in his statement announcing this policy, Roger Goodell

307
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: said it was unfortunate the on field protests created a

308
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: false perception among many that thousands of NFL players were unpatriotic.

309
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: So he is saying he doesn't believe that kneeling is unpatriotic,

310
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: the commissioner. And yet, YEA, I wonder, I wonder if

311
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: you said that to some of the people in that room,

312
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: because trust me, the people who cast that vote, there

313
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: are plenty of them who feel that is unpatriotic, some

314
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: of them who took a staged phony in Week three

315
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: to try to say I support my players. Very interesting.

316
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: Continue to attract the story as it develops, and it will. Uh.

317
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: In other NFL news, Reuben Foster Uh, a first round

318
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: pick for the forty nineties last year, had some major

319
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: off the field issues, but some of that's getting cleared

320
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 1: up in the courts. A judge dismissed domestic violence charges

321
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: against the linebacker Uh, and he took part in the

322
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: team's offseason program for the first time since being charged

323
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: in mid April. And this just came across right before

324
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: we started taping that The Tuscalousca Tuscaloosa District Attorney's Office

325
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: has dropped the marijuana possession charge against uh Foster, So

326
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: now uh he's at a place where it's down to

327
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: a court date June six to face a misdemeanor charge

328
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: for possession of a weapon. Of course, the NFL, and

329
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: this is another thorny issue that the league has had

330
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: issues within recent years, has its own jurisdiction in terms

331
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 1: of whether or not Foster faces league discipline. But Uh,

332
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: in the courts, things are clearing up for Foster. Yeah,

333
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: and it it goes to show, I guess why John

334
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: Lynch and the forty Niners decided not to make any

335
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: transaction with Ruben Foster when this all popped up. They

336
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: caught a lot of heat and they did and that

337
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: and that's fine. But one thing that's really bothered me

338
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: this week seen from some media in San Francisco, and

339
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: that definitely some fans in San Francisco, is people kind

340
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: of celebrating this as like as like, hey, you guys

341
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: were all wrong. How how dare you report on this?

342
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 1: How dare you say anything? I'm not gonna make any judgment,

343
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: you know, we can't make any judgment one way or another.

344
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: The reality is the district attorney released a statement even

345
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: after this, that they believed there was significant evidence demonstrated

346
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: that he seriously hurt his girlfriend, whatever choice that she

347
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: decided to make to to say that she had lied before,

348
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 1: and that they take the prosput that's fine, that that's

349
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: out of it. The legal process played out. They also said,

350
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 1: some may have wondered why we think, you know, Mr

351
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: Foster heard his girlfriend when she said she didn't. Recantation

352
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: is common among domestic violence victims. Some are scared, some

353
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: feel guilty, some need money somewhere. Of course, there's no

354
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: there's no judgment to it, but this has happened in

355
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: a lot of cases I've noticed in sports lately, and

356
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: and the legal process plays out, and that's kind of

357
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: how the teams have to operate. But the the spiking

358
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: the football and like kind of going after and celebrating

359
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: this as if it's some sort of like win for

360
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: the forty niners, or that the media was somehow irresponsible,

361
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: or that even the district attorney was irresponsible for pursuing this,

362
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: like has really rubbed me the wrong way this week

363
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: I've noticed, well, as it should. I mean, you know,

364
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: look the one thing, uh and and killing in a

365
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: column list there who was highly critical of the forty

366
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: niners for not cutting Foster. She wort a calm saying, look, look,

367
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: if this woman's you know, recantation is true, then she

368
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: she kind of hurt more women coming forward domestic violence.

369
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: Uh cause, and you can call you have to, you

370
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: have to kind of agree with this because people are

371
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: going to say, well, look she could. So you don't know,

372
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: you don't know, Like it's so incredibly common that that

373
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,719
Speaker 1: deals are worked out, and and that's you can make

374
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: whatever choices that you want to make. That's not a judgment.

375
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: But to to make some sort of moral thing after that,

376
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: there's there's there's no victory lapse here for anyone. I

377
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: can tell you this because I've spoken to Ford Nities

378
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: officials throughout this whole process. And one, they clearly had

379
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: information which made them think that Ruben Foster might be

380
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: cleared of these charges. Um. Two, they always wanted to

381
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: have a plan in place, and I reported this a

382
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: while ago. Even when he was told to stay away

383
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: from O T a S. They were in contact with

384
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: him almost daily, keeping him on a plan because even

385
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: they were concerned if he were if you were to

386
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: have football taken away from him and kind of just

387
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: pushed out there in the ether while he was waiting

388
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,719
Speaker 1: for things to happen. There could be some problems there.

389
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: I mean, they're still concerned that Ruben Foster needs structure

390
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: in his life right now. And so the gravy tossed

391
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 1: that Lynch and Jed York and Kyle Shanahan have gathered

392
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: now in their locker room by saying, from players, you know,

393
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman's had something guard Jim Trotter about Jed York

394
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: by not bailing on Ruben Foster immediately, by letting this

395
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: play out, by establishing some type of support system during

396
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: this players that locker room are like, okay, are our leadership.

397
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,719
Speaker 1: They've got our backs. And then Jed Yorke coming out

398
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: saying he abstained from this national anthem vote because players

399
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: were not involved in the conversation. He said he was

400
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: texting with Richard Sherman saying this is how I think

401
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna go. Thoughts, thoughts, thoughts, So he was trying

402
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: to incorporate players. Of course, Richard Sherman is one of

403
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: the highest ranking players in the Players Association. So the

404
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: gravity toss that that leadership has shown while also saying

405
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: if any of our players, if we find out put

406
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: a hands on a woman, they're gone. Okay, So they've

407
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: at least built in the short term going into the

408
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: season a type of trust with their players throughout this

409
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: whole process that could bode well for them on and

410
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,959
Speaker 1: off the field. Yeah, and it's tough because I mean,

411
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: I I can't sit here and judge, you know, what

412
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: actually happened from either side. I mean, I think Steve

413
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: to your point, like, yeah, if um, the fact that

414
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: if she was really lying about all this happening, Yeah,

415
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: all the skeptics can point to her and be like,

416
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 1: look like the these these women who come after athletes,

417
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: like you know, they're they're all liars, and it waters

418
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: down the situations when it actually does happen. But you know,

419
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: if it did in fact happen and then she recanted,

420
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: I mean that that's an awful situation for everybody. I mean,

421
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 1: he needs to face some type of punishment because people

422
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: talk about how this could ruin his career. What the

423
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: first press release dis attorney say, he faces eleven years

424
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: in prison, what ruins his life, that ruins his life

425
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: and his reputation to absolutely uh in other news, the

426
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: AA Cardinals took Josh rosen Uh in the first round

427
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: of the left in April, and Sam Bradford, of course,

428
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: is in the house. The immortal Mike Glennon is in

429
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: the house. A lot of thought is that Bradford would

430
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: be the guy, but rosen was the most quote pro

431
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 1: ready quarterback. But Steve Wilkes had this to say this

432
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: week about the possibility that Josh rosen Uh starts the

433
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: season in week one. No, it's not a long shot.

434
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: I talked about it from day one. The best eleven

435
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: are gonna play. Sam is the starter, and when he's healthy,

436
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: he's great. But everybody is competing to be out there

437
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: on the field. Competition is a great thing. It makes

438
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 1: us all better. West translate that every coach in the NFL,

439
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: to one degree or another believes in the competition. Mantra

440
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: that what you did last year doesn't matter, what your

441
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: reputation is doesn't matter. When we get to practice, when

442
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 1: we get the training camp, the best guy wins. I'd

443
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: say Pete Carroll is number one on the list. Whoever

444
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: does the most in training camp will get the job.

445
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: Uh thirty two might be Hugh Jackson, who is just

446
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: going to give the job to Tyrod Taylor Baker. Mayfield

447
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: doesn't have a chance. I'm not Steve. I think Steve

448
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: Wioks is closer to the peak Carroll models. Whoever wins

449
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: the job wins the job. I also think that these

450
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: quotes aren't made in a vacuum. He's seen Josh. First

451
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: of all, I think they love Josh Rosen, That's why

452
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 1: they moved up to draft him. But he's seen Josh

453
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: Rosen now for two or three weeks, four weeks in

454
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: the building. He's seen him operate, so he has some

455
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: more information to make a statement like that that all right,

456
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: I've seen some things that I like, Like, I'm not

457
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: I don't think it's just kind of said Willie Nilly.

458
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: I think he's seen what Josh Rosen has to offer,

459
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: and he's like, this guy might be playing for us this. Yeah,

460
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: but Gregg, does he love the game Josh? That's what

461
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: I want to know, and that's what America wants to know.

462
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: This is such a may headline. Josh Rosen starting the

463
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: season isn't a long shot. A little bit it could

464
00:24:54,280 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: look yeah, there is, but I mean the rest of

465
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: the show solid right here, we don't know how to

466
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: turn it off. The look first, your head first, your head.

467
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: Coaches like to align themselves with their rookie quarterbacks should

468
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: they take one in the first round. That's how they're

469
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: either gonna make it or break. So let's look at

470
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: that fact. Let's also look at the fact that everything

471
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 1: that Cardinals have said sets it up for Josh Rosen

472
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: to win the starting job. And by that, I mean

473
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna manage Sam Bradford in practice. He's gonna do

474
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: some individual drills and some team but when he's not,

475
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen's getting those number ones. You know, we want

476
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: to make sure Sam Bradford can make it to Week one,

477
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,479
Speaker 1: so we're not necessarily gonna wear him out now. Oh

478
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 1: and Josh Rosen is gonna get those reps with the

479
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: first team offense when Sam's not there. So it is

480
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: all set up that if Josh Rosen can learn Mike

481
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: McCoy's system, and Mike McCoy likes high i Q quarterbacks,

482
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: not saying Sam Bradford isn't. But that's one thing you

483
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: do hear about Josh Rosen. I I think I'm fully

484
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: expecting Josh Rosen win this job and I'm fully expecting

485
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: the guy who has been the dB Cooper of fantastic contracts,

486
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford, be holding that clipboard for fifty billion dollars

487
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: on the side. Did you just drop dB Cooper the

488
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: guy that jumped out of the plane of the plane,

489
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's amazing quote after the show. I

490
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: also saw that sex as the beginning of it, which

491
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 1: is you called Sam Bradford a dummy compared to that's

492
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: gonna be my headline wife a lot of different headlines

493
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 1: to take out commentary. And he looked to me, dB Cooper,

494
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: Oh he's smart. Who's gotten paid more than Sad Bradford. Nobody, Well,

495
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: let's not. I think it's probably Tom Connon, who's his agent,

496
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 1: who's doing it. Done a nice job for him. Look,

497
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: and again we can see them talk about how much

498
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: the Cardinals loved Josh Rosen come the draft, he felt

499
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: a tent. That's why they love him. They weren't expecting

500
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 1: to get That's why they gave Sam Bradford fifteen million.

501
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 1: So it's a good point, you know, That's that's all

502
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: part of it too. If if John Rosan wouldn't gone

503
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: at seven, we might have been talking about Josh Allen

504
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: or somebody else being in the Arizona And for people

505
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: who do not know dB dB Cooper was, well, we

506
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: don't know who it was that was the assumed identity

507
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 1: or the fake name. That that a man that hijack

508
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: hijack the plane uh, demanded money uh, and then landed

509
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: the plane, got the money he asked for h and

510
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: also a parachute and then got the plane back in

511
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: the air and then sky dived out of the plane.

512
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 1: It's amazing. It's one of my favorites. Never found, it

513
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 1: was never seen again. Multiple heist. Yeah, in like burglary

514
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: robbery history. I always what about brock Osswaters contract could

515
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: have done it with as many teams for as much money.

516
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 1: I always confused DV Cooper with that dB Sweeney another

517
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 1: legend who was the cutting edge star of the cutting

518
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,959
Speaker 1: edge great ice skating. That's what I thought you were

519
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: referring to that. Let's make another connection. Let's go dables

520
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: with you right now. You might as well do it.

521
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan, Deshaun Watson, the same person. All right, that's

522
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,239
Speaker 1: what's happening in the news. Uh. Actually one more bit

523
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: of news. UH. You may remember David Tepper. Is that

524
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: the name Dave tappas David Tepper. He's the new owner

525
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: of the Carolina Panthers. The owners made it official this week.

526
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: Uh during a Q and A that involved our NFL

527
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: media insider Ian Rappaport, uh Temper asked this of Mr Rapport,

528
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: what's your what's your name again? Ian Rapport? Do you

529
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: do you color that here? Is that a real haircut?

530
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: It's real? And to Ian's credit, he and also he

531
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: followed it by asking a question of Temper as well.

532
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: Right the whole thing. He said, you know, it's pretty

533
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: good for someone who doesn't have much hair. It's a

534
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: nice job. It was also a predictable answer by Ian.

535
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: You know, Um, so I thought this was a story

536
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: that maybe the a t N media insider needed to

537
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: dig into inside all right, So I reached out. I

538
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: knew Ian's on vacation. Ian is actually, I think, on

539
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: a more traditional vacation. In fact, when I reached out,

540
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: he sees his family on. Yeah. When I reached out

541
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: to rap sheet about uh these allegations or the questions

542
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: by the Panther's owner, uh, Ian was running in the

543
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,239
Speaker 1: woods of Mississippi. But he said, I said I want

544
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: to give you the opportunity forest that burden. I got it,

545
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: that's the burden. That's what the money's for. Um, So

546
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: I said, Ian, I would love to follow up on

547
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: the story and get really your side of it. This

548
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: isn't gotcha journalism, not looking to you know, lower you

549
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: into a trap. Although I have personally question and him

550
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: over the years about his hair as well, I wanted

551
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: him as an old friend, UH, the opportunity in the

552
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:09,959
Speaker 1: platform because Ian doesn't have enough platforms. So, um, let

553
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: us now dig a little deeper into this story. Tam posey,

554
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 1: what's the truth? Real or fake hair gate? And I

555
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: got a statement from the Rappaport. Nobody else got this

556
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: Greig so next went to and I said, I said, I,

557
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: you could come on the show, or you could give

558
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: me a statement. He said, listen, I'm on vacation. I can't.

559
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: I can't come on the show. But he through his spokesman,

560
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: and his spokesman is Leah Rappaport, and Ian's wife had

561
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: this to say, I have the monopoly on artificially colored

562
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: hair in this household. While Ian does spend an enormous

563
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: amount of time on his hair, it's mostly to make

564
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: sure it's perfectly in place, with a huge assist from Schwartz,

565
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: Coop Flex, Waxman and Norman. Yes, everybody's gotta make money.

566
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: The color, Yeah, the color is and always has been

567
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: all his own. So right there, that's a strong denial.

568
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: That's a categorical denial of anything that people are thrown

569
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: out there, including myself. Are you gonna forward that to

570
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: Dave Tupper? Fred Thompson definitely released it on Twitter. Fred Thompson, Yeah,

571
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: I think I think we need to get this out

572
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: there beyond, but I wanted to break it here on

573
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: the podcast strong because it comes from so you know,

574
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: the first thing this podcast has ever broken. What's the

575
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: hair wax? So when you have a public you don't

576
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: need it? Is that just this is well, I guess

577
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: it's a public statement, but I got it directly from

578
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: in a private conversation. I'm making a public and the

579
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: fact that you you dropped some some product label Nolge

580
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: now is going to get a life. Norman's gonna call

581
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: him up today. Thanks, thanks for what you've done. I'm

582
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: a hero Storm and Norman um and of course um

583
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: I use Redkin. Anybody is the work hard molding paste.

584
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: I don't do wax. I don't do wax. It's a

585
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: little stiff for my liking. I like a little bit

586
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: of control and um that's just my thing. But anyway,

587
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: there's your updick coconad. So what you're using, shinn, that

588
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: head looks nice. Anybody else want to share their product

589
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: before we live? Like s I'm good? Okay. Product is

590
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: a name that might offend. Oh we could, we could

591
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: believe it. You know. It's it's called mixed Chicks by racial,

592
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: by ethnicity, by whatever. It's a nice for those of

593
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: us with a shortness. But it's kind of geared towards women.

594
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: But you bet it works. I think that's where the

595
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: chicks part of it. Yeah comes in. I'm really glad

596
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: you ask that question. I want to do a whole

597
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: podcast just on hair product. That's my favorite. It's Ripple sec. Nope,

598
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: it's a hair product. But I like my hair products

599
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: to also double as the truth real or fake hair gate.

600
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: All right, there you go. Now let us move on.

601
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: Who do you still trust? After a a tough two

602
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: thousand seventeen we saw a lot of injuries, controversy. Uh,

603
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: it tested, Yes, it tested. The metal of the common

604
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: football fan on some level. Well, I think a lot

605
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: of people in this country and maybe around the world

606
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: lost trust in in other individuals and institutions, just in life.

607
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: So you know, in two thousand and eighteen we need

608
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: to spin it forward. Is who is left to trust

609
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: at this point in time? Who gives us hope? So

610
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: this has like someone who you trusted before in the past.

611
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: I think I messed this game up. Go ahead, West,

612
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: answer the questions. See if can be a part of it.

613
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: Could be somebody totally new, but you have just found

614
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: you that's the rock upon which you're building your football church.

615
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: You're looking for someone to trust it. It's gonna be great, guys,

616
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: that's who you're fixing yourself to to survive. Two there

617
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: you go, all right, Oh wow, that's a heck of

618
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 1: a that's a heck of an amendment. There, West, You

619
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: guys can all that's how I'm looking at it, But

620
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 1: you guys can all approach it through your own viewpoint.

621
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: A heck of an amendment. Um, all right, let's go around.

622
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: Let's go around the room, and everyone is going to

623
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 1: let us know who they are, like a trust fall.

624
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: Like when you do the do they still do that?

625
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: You should do it? Actually, I was also doing this

626
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: as like a head to head battle. Okay, why don't

627
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 1: you get a started West, you're the only one that

628
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: understands it. I take sort of a who do you

629
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: trust more? Yeah, that's whatever you wanted today, It's Friday.

630
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: To me, I'm throwing it out to the group. Who

631
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: do you trust more? In two thou eighteen Sean McVeigh

632
00:34:54,200 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: or Tony Romo? Wow, that's deep. You're saying to n

633
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: who were inspirational in their performances last season, who can

634
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: stay at that level or even take it up a not?

635
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: To me, the most fascinating innovation going on in the

636
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: NFL right now is what Sean McVeigh is whispering in

637
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: Jared Goff's ear at the line of scrimmage and Tony Romo.

638
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: To me, as much as I always love John Madden,

639
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 1: he is taking broadcasting to a whole new level. He's

640
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: like a choose your own adventure tour guide for fourth

641
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: quarter comebacks, and I've never seen that before. Well, this

642
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: one's easy for me. I'm going Tony Romo because while

643
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh has to go up against the Vikings, defense,

644
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: and the Eagles defense and the seahawksy and Pete Carroll

645
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: a couple of times, and like those are big time

646
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: competitors and the NFL is crazy. Who's Tony Romo going

647
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: up against? I mean, Jason Witten. I mean, we'll see

648
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: how that goes, Trent Big, Trent Green and whatnot. I

649
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: think what you're getting at is like the idea that

650
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: no one is actually trying scheming to take Tony Romo

651
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: down either. And my and my thought with Tony ro

652
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: and I totally I'm on board with you with your

653
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 1: take on Tony Romo is uh, He's just gonna keep

654
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: getting better. I think he was incredible, and I'm I

655
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: want to settle in for a nice five to ten

656
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: year minimum Tony Romo broadcast. Look, I'm all on Sean

657
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: McVeigh because here's the thing. What can Sean get that

658
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: Tony Romo never? You're right, So I'm in on plus

659
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: Tony Romo playing the rings argument and I're on the

660
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: road on Sundays, You're not even wa Hey. Look, and

661
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,959
Speaker 1: I love Tony Tony rome but he's got freaking CP

662
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: three right next to him. Put the cap. But he's

663
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: kind of set up then to really succeed, all he

664
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: has to do is just sit down, kick back and talk.

665
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that in the work, but Sean, come on,

666
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: he's got to rely on. You're giving Jim Nance a

667
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 1: lot of credit here. Yes, Yeah, he's pretty good. You

668
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: know what, Nances kind of the fascinating guy to talk

669
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: about too, because where Steve's coming from is that Nancy's

670
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: a legend. A lot of people say that, and I

671
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: think he's very good. And then there's people like Greg that,

672
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,800
Speaker 1: you know, disrespecting. I'm not disrespecting, and I'm just saying.

673
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying Tony Romo is the star of that operation.

674
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. Yeah, just like James Harden is

675
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: the star of the Rockets. But Christ from three, I'm

676
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: not gonna lie Don Hudson. He's doing things that are

677
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: three generations ahead of what anybody else is doing. Did

678
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: you guys answer it? Oh yeah, I'm Romo. No one's

679
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: trying to take Romo down. Everyone's trying to how do

680
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 1: we figure out and destroy Sean McVeigh. So who do

681
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,720
Speaker 1: I trust more? It's Romo continuing to grow as a broadcast.

682
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 1: I think Romo because he's not really facing any competition

683
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,879
Speaker 1: like he's He doesn't have to go in and game

684
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: plan every week. He has to do his homework, but

685
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: he already knows what he's doing, and he's already charmed everybody.

686
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: He was. He was like um Brad Pitt in Thelma

687
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: and Louise level comment, Uh in his first year, We're

688
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 1: just like, Oh, that guy's a star, and now you're

689
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 1: just gonna watch for the next twenty years, twenty five

690
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: years him continuing to be a star. Did the argument,

691
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: there's a greg there's a devil's advocate. To your point, yeah,

692
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,959
Speaker 1: that he'll just continue to improve. A lot of people

693
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: think like the further removed he is from playing quarterback

694
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: and seeing these defenses, what defensive coordinators are doing to quarterbacks,

695
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: or what trends are going on, that he's gonna lose

696
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of that. I hear that, but I

697
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 1: think he's I think think even if that was true,

698
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: I think year two, year three, he knows how to

699
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 1: broadcast and he's still very close to game. You might

700
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: have something eventually. Look, he's gonna sit down with all

701
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: these coaches and all the new technology and all this stuff.

702
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:41,959
Speaker 1: He's gonna put in the work. He's not just going

703
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 1: there to uh to be excitable on some haven't take

704
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 1: wess or you're just putting a question. I feel like

705
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: West should be asking all the questions because none of

706
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: us don't. Will you have a take less? Uh? Oh,

707
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 1: I'd say stay really through me with the you know

708
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 1: who who could possibly have more to gain? Nick Romo

709
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:08,359
Speaker 1: can never have what McVeigh could have. M M, that's fair,

710
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: all right. I trust him both so much. I'll throw

711
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: one out there. Well, I had one that was kind

712
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 1: of similar. So I don't want to make this the

713
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 1: broadcasting show because I was gonna say, Bruce Arians in

714
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 1: the booth or Jason Witten in the booth? I did

715
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: Jason Witten or John Gruden? Yeah, so let me we can.

716
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: I would just say I trust Arians more. Yeah. I

717
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 1: guess there's no way to know though until we actually

718
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: get both of them in the booth for any of this.

719
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 1: I trust Arians with a cough button more with the

720
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,399
Speaker 1: seven second delay. That's all right? Who do we who

721
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: do we trust more? As an assumed savior? Patrick Mahomes

722
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: in Kansas City, Not that they need to be saved

723
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, but take finally taking them to the next level.

724
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: Uh in the conference or John Gruden mhm. And right

725
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: now I'm talking to not Patrick Mahomes three years or

726
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: now I'm saying fixing what ails the team's respective teams. Well,

727
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm just gonna say Patrick Mahomes because Jon

728
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: Gruden has just absolutely overturned this roster. There's such a

729
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: wild card. We have no idea what they're gonna be.

730
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 1: Whereas the Chiefs, you know, I think defensively still have

731
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 1: a long way to go. But Mahomes has got a

732
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: lot of toys to play with Sammy Watkins and Tyreek Hill.

733
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:25,839
Speaker 1: You know, they just got a Kareem Hunt that's coming back.

734
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: So we're not concerned about the reports that Patrick Mahomes

735
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: has struggled in O t a s. I'm not. Yeah,

736
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,879
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm scared about any struggling. No, when when

737
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 1: these two teams match up and it's and it's Mahomes

738
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:41,919
Speaker 1: versus Hackenburg in week thirteen, I'm sticking with my Homes.

739
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: I'm all aboard the ma. Homes expressed I love this

740
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: combination of him and Andy Reid. I almost trust anybody

741
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 1: more than John Gruten at this point, Well, Colleen's speaking

742
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: a vote. It's either a vocal minority or it is

743
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: the majority of football fans who either on some of

744
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 1: the have it out for John Grouen a little bit.

745
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:03,800
Speaker 1: They don't like his style. And I think it's like

746
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: residual too from when he was with the Bucks and

747
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 1: like what happened with the Bucks and the Eagles, like

748
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: I just like, I just don't both which I think

749
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: he was unfairly maligned. I like a lot in the booth,

750
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: but for whatever reason, it became cool the kind of

751
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: at some point, John Gruden started rubbing people the wrong way.

752
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,839
Speaker 1: And I think that has really been an underlying fan

753
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: experience that people would not mind seeing John Gruden and

754
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: his one million dollar contract comflaming to the ground. I'm

755
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 1: not rooting for that to happen, but I feel like

756
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: I don't feel like you are and it doesn't speak

757
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: highly of you. No, I would never root for anybody

758
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: to fail, but I I just I don't know, You're right.

759
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: He just rubs me the wrong way, and I think

760
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: just from everything that happened when he was with the Bucks,

761
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: I can't I can't forgive it. I can't let it go.

762
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: I think we've talked about this on the podcast. Because

763
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: of all the Gruden hate, I'm going the other way.

764
00:41:55,960 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: I'm like, let's go, Johnny, let's fix the Raiders four hood.

765
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 1: I mean, it's weird. You look at what they've done

766
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 1: this offseason. They look like they're going to be a

767
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 1: very physical team, but they can only do it for

768
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 1: a year because everybody's on a arp. Other than interest,

769
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: because he a good Raiders team makes the league more interest,

770
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: and especially with Gridden, I'm going my homes to Steve's

771
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: point about that offense. I'm not saying it's like the

772
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: late nineties Vikings where you can just plug in Randall

773
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 1: Cunningham and Jeff George and all these guys. But this

774
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: is one of the best situations in the league, from

775
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,320
Speaker 1: the offensive line to the running game to the receivers.

776
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 1: And then Andy Reid is your coach. He's set up

777
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 1: to succeed. Did you have something to say on this? Yeah.

778
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,359
Speaker 1: On my flight to Oakland actually on Tuesday, I sat

779
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: next to an older gentleman Chuck, and uh yeah, an

780
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 1: old guy named Chuck Chuck or Chuck E. Chuck. Middle

781
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: name could have been E. Actually, so I can't confirm,

782
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: but uh, he was. You would think that literally the

783
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: Second Coming has happened, and the whole city of Oakland,

784
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: Like he talked my ear off for the entire fifty

785
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:00,800
Speaker 1: eight minute flight, like I did not. You know, we

786
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 1: were talking football and you know, he was making sort

787
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: of Patriots digs and telling do you know the history?

788
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: You know, I got the whole thing of the Raiders,

789
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: but that it was literally terrible. And he literally gave

790
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: me his email so I could go see like the

791
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 1: Raiders stadium, like he had some sort of he didn't

792
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 1: have a chuckout some poll that night. Literally literally it was.

793
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 1: It was super weird. What did he give you? Did

794
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: he write his email on like a cocktail nap? And

795
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: then he kept being like, you're not going to email me.

796
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: I was like, oh god, but that's besides the point.

797
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:40,760
Speaker 1: Besides the point is that Oakland, Oakland is so excited

798
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: later nation, and and the fact that it's going to

799
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: Vegas like these next two years, like the city is

800
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 1: gonna like they're gonna make their market. Do you know

801
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 1: when the seven neies and eighties on the right, I

802
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 1: hope this happens for the Chuckuck. This would be a

803
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: great little clip to from the Oakland, a great clip

804
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: to play and look back on it. Wedding with this guy. Yeah, yeah,

805
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:06,359
Speaker 1: he's a little a little older than me. Who else

806
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: got one? All right? I got one. I'm gonna throw

807
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,800
Speaker 1: one out. Um? Who Well, So I guess who do

808
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,800
Speaker 1: you trust more? That's how I sort of framed it.

809
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson or Dalvin Cook the knee injury come back? Yeah,

810
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: and now I was thinking Deshaun Watson or Jimmy g

811
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 1: That's I like this, this is a good one. I'm

812
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 1: gonna go Dalvin Cook because I just think for this

813
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 1: season we're talking about two thousand and eighteen, he's a

814
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 1: second The position is just so much harder. A second

815
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 1: year quarterback without a great offensive line. That's hard enough.

816
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 1: If everything's perfect and you've only started five games and

817
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: you're coming off a big injury. He just is gonna

818
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 1: be asked to do so much more by the nature

819
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 1: of being Deshaun Watson. So I trust Dalvin cookmore. I'm

820
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:51,800
Speaker 1: really Dalvin Cook as well. I mean he's got the rotation,

821
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: he's got the most stacked team. Yeah, you know, in

822
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: the NFL, they'll ask a lot of him, but not

823
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: a significant amount. Whereas you know DeShawn he's got Jacksonville.

824
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 1: You know that that defense Tennessee is going to be

825
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 1: no freaking joke in that division. So I'll say Dalvin

826
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,959
Speaker 1: Cook as well. There's something about the Texans offensive line

827
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 1: and the fact that they're changing their entire offense that

828
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,320
Speaker 1: makes me say, Dalvin Cook, I just don't trust the

829
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: Texans offensive line this year. They might be the worst

830
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:28,760
Speaker 1: in the league. Debo Sweeney, Dabo Sweeney, Sweeney, I'll stand

831
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: with him. Watson so transcendent talent, sixteen games, let's fly,

832
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: all right, and Cook look great before he got hurt. Yeah,

833
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 1: I go with Cook too. I just feel like the

834
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: expectations are so high for Sun. And I was doing

835
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: some research or something I wrote this week, and I

836
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: was reading Greg's projected starters, and and the way I

837
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: was reading, I was like, oh, they might win three

838
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: games this year. Yeah, well, there's they're they're stacked, they're great,

839
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 1: players are great. Their defensive line, if they're healthy, might be,

840
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: you know, the best in the league. All Right, it's

841
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 1: very well written there, built like you weren't high on.

842
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:01,879
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Yeah, I don't like those teams

843
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 1: that seem like they have like eight or nine really

844
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: good players and then the rest of the roster just

845
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 1: kind of bunk like the Cowboys for the most of

846
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 1: the past twenty years. That's like a recipe for seven

847
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 1: and nine, not not owing six. Can I ask you

848
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: who you trust? I got one? Yeah, okay. So these

849
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:18,479
Speaker 1: are teams that cleared out veteran starters for these people

850
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: to be the man, Derrick Henry or Davante Adams. Definitely

851
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 1: Davante Adams. I mean he's already He's already there, back

852
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 1: to back good years. But does anybody talk about him?

853
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 1: Is nobody had more No wide receiver had more touchdowns

854
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 1: the last two years than Davante Adams. That's I mean,

855
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,320
Speaker 1: he's already there. Derrick Henry. There are some days that

856
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: he looks like the next great big running back. He

857
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 1: looks like a better Lea Garrett Blunt. And there's some

858
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: days where he gets like twelve yards. You've got to

859
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 1: be more consistent than that. Again, I think his running

860
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:52,720
Speaker 1: style has something to do with it. And the Packers

861
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 1: receiver group is a little thinner than it's been and

862
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is back and so that makes me think

863
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 1: he's going to rely on Adams more than ever. So

864
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: that's why without Jordy there like especially, and then you

865
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 1: look at what they have at tight End and everything else.

866
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:08,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I know they brought in Jimmy Graham and stuff,

867
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 1: but I just think that Davante Adams, it's kind of

868
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 1: like the road has cleared for him to succeed. The

869
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: biggest compliment I could pay Davante Adams is that when

870
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers disappeared in Brett Hunley, who could not hit

871
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 1: the ocean from a boat, came in. Davante added somehow

872
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 1: stayed productive all throughout that Brett Huntley period, which is

873
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 1: very shaky for their offense. So yeah, he's gonna eat

874
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 1: this year, so I trust him. I'll throw one out

875
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 1: thinking of two groups that were absolutely dominant in six

876
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: and then fell off last year. Who do you trust more?

877
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 1: The Cowboys running game, which there they certainly are trusting,

878
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: or the Falcons passing game that's good get back. That's

879
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: a fantastic question. And I'm gonna go to the Dallas

880
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 1: running game. I'm still and and this is a lot

881
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:01,359
Speaker 1: of folkstion in Atlanta. Falcons fans they're still question marks

882
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:05,320
Speaker 1: all Overseas. Sarkisian um, they've got the talent adding and

883
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 1: adding Ridley to that group. I mean, they could be

884
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 1: just absolutely incredible. The factor in Coleman and Freeman is

885
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: receiving running backs. But people just don't know if sark

886
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: You know, with Kyle Shanahan setting the bar, they just

887
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 1: don't know if he's nice. I'll go with the Cowboys

888
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 1: or game. Yeah, I would answer the same question for

889
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 1: the same reasons. And Zeke, even in a down year

890
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: last year, was still averaging a hundred rushing yards the

891
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: game he was. There were games last year where they

892
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:34,359
Speaker 1: stayed in games because he keeps converting third downs over

893
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 1: and over. He's that good. In their offensive line, they

894
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:40,800
Speaker 1: had Connor Williams, they're even better. That much of a

895
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 1: passing game to to help him out or potentially, I

896
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,240
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know if they like they passing

897
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 1: game was terrible last year and he still was fine.

898
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys running game for me, I mean, like you look

899
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 1: at what happened last year with Julio Jones and it

900
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,360
Speaker 1: was like where was he all year? And Steve Sarkisian

901
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 1: just the plays that he was calling and all of

902
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 1: those guy is that he had to play with on offense.

903
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: I imagine if Sean McVeigh was in there and what

904
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:05,799
Speaker 1: he was able to, what he would have been able

905
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 1: to do with that offense. It's it's crazy to think about.

906
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:10,919
Speaker 1: I want to mix it up, but I can't. Same

907
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:14,320
Speaker 1: issues with the offensive coordinator in Atlanta. And also I

908
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 1: thought I think last year for Elliott was probably a

909
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 1: sobering season. The game was taken away from him with

910
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: the suspension. He came in, He's a little out of shape,

911
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:24,719
Speaker 1: and then he saw how the game is harder when

912
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 1: you're not at peak condition. He got he got fit

913
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 1: as the season went along. I wouldn't be surprised if

914
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 1: and I'm sure as there's no tropes ireen running that

915
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 1: we've heard that Zeke Elliots in the best shape of

916
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 1: his life. I'm sure that's coming soon. But that he's motive, Okay,

917
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised, so I have I would not be

918
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 1: surprised if he's plus yards and carrying that offense sleeping

919
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 1: on the falcons. Well, really, if he hits, forget it.

920
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: But you know what I mean, rookie wide receiver who

921
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 1: knows and think I ranked the Falcons start fourth. Great

922
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 1: groups potentially, Yeah, I mean you want us to dis

923
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,359
Speaker 1: the Cowboys running game. I can't do that one more West,

924
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: Do you have another one that we can go out on?

925
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:05,320
Speaker 1: Who do you trust more two thousand seventeen breakout stars

926
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:11,880
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo or Doug Peterson. Oh that's a great question

927
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: because Doug Peterson, he's missing a couple of his guys.

928
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 1: Now on that coach lost his quarterback for the super Bowl, right,

929
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 1: but I'm done down down that guy. That is a

930
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 1: great one. Even Michael Lombardi got out of the downing game. Yeah,

931
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 1: he didn't have much choice. That was like a hot

932
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 1: take ever gone more wrong than than Michael Lombardi on

933
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson. Um, wow, I'm riding. I'm riding though with

934
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 1: Jimmy G because you know, just the stuff and talk

935
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:45,280
Speaker 1: with the Niners. They said they had their playbook BASKI

936
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 1: daunt about ten pages. I'm exaggerating a little, but just

937
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 1: to kind of go week to week with Jimmy G.

938
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 1: And now he's had a whole off season to get

939
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:55,800
Speaker 1: with Kyle Shanahan. They're going to get Jack McKinnon on offense.

940
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: They're gonna they're gonna pay him with Matt Breta. I mean,

941
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 1: you have two guys Georgia Southern and by the way, yeah,

942
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 1: two guys who can skate. Are they the Golden Eagles?

943
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 1: I believe so. Yeah. So they've got they said, they

944
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,800
Speaker 1: don't have a running back that runs slower than a

945
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 1: four or five flats. They have Game Brown, you know,

946
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 1: we don't. They don't have a great group of wide receivers,

947
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 1: but a good enough group. So let's go Jimmy G.

948
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 1: It's kind of hard to repeat. Is the Super Bowl

949
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 1: champs Doug Peterson all day? That is the least surprising.

950
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:29,800
Speaker 1: I'm with you, though, I'm with you. I'm gonna go

951
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 1: Peterson verily. Jimmy G has the edge that he has

952
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 1: a great coach with him, and you know, we'll see.

953
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 1: But in terms of the Eagles, but I feel like

954
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 1: the Eagles offense is gonna be very good almost no

955
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 1: matter what we've seen that with with Nick Foles taking

956
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:47,400
Speaker 1: over it, there is a scenario where Jimmy G has

957
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 1: some second year struggles or maybe maybe he doesn't even

958
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 1: it doesn't bomb out or anything, but he's not near

959
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:55,319
Speaker 1: that level that they were at last year, whereas I'd

960
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: be shocked if the Eagles offense isn't humming along nicely. Yeah,

961
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: I think the Eagles and Peerson are gonna be fine.

962
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 1: But Jimmy G special Scott. I like Jimmy G a lot.

963
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:07,880
Speaker 1: I actually I'm not the biggest fan of this room,

964
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:09,879
Speaker 1: I don't think, but he still has a lot to prove.

965
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: But he just he has the look. You know, had

966
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 1: the results at the end of last year. Look, you know,

967
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 1: Afy him, she's trying to get him a little short

968
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:28,800
Speaker 1: storm and Norman, you know that legendary dream team practice

969
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 1: that they always talk but Laterner just got destroyed and

970
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 1: that one. Yeah, Jordan's beats Magic's team and they're trash talking.

971
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 1: They say it's the highest level basketball has ever been played.

972
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 1: I feel like the Jimmy G practices in New England

973
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 1: are starting to take on that legendary status. Cassius Mars,

974
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 1: who plays for the forty Niners now, who played for

975
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 1: New England at the time. They asked him about Jimmy

976
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 1: G because he arrived late in the season to the

977
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:54,399
Speaker 1: forty Niners and didn't get to see alive. And he said, oh,

978
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 1: I saw this every day in practice. All the Patriots

979
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 1: did where Brady would come out and then Garoppolo would

980
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,280
Speaker 1: just asked the first team defense over and over again.

981
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 1: So add him to the list. Basically, Belichick has say

982
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:07,879
Speaker 1: said the same thing, I love Garoppola because I take

983
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 1: Brady out and you don't miss anything. Mike Lombardi has

984
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:13,480
Speaker 1: said that that you know, glowing reports that if you

985
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 1: saw him in practice, you would have no doubts about it.

986
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman, Chris Hogan, these guys have all basically said

987
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,279
Speaker 1: Jimmy G is Tom Brady. Yeah, Tom Brady had nothing

988
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:24,319
Speaker 1: to do with Jimmy G being sent right out of town.

989
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:30,879
Speaker 1: Keep in minding Blake Patriots defense too. Yeah that's true. Um,

990
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: just kidding. I love JIMMYJ all right, as did Nick Fools. Yes,

991
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 1: good stuff, good stuff everybody. Steve, you were brilliant like

992
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 1: Brad Pitt and Thumb and Louise Gosh at least at

993
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:47,759
Speaker 1: least I thought you're gonna go. Todd Bridges, what was

994
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:54,279
Speaker 1: the hair CAREX Chicks Mix Chicks? Check that out, Um,

995
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 1: if it's something you think would be good for your

996
00:53:56,520 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 1: focal situation. Um, and uh, Colleen, Yeah, a great weekend.

997
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 1: Thanks you're coming over my house. I'll see you on Saturday.

998
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 1: Are you buying a heat lamp? I'm working on it.

999
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 1: I actually spoke with Steve. I'm having a barbecue on Saturday.

1000
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 1: You're welcome, of course. How can you have a heat lamp? Right?

1001
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:16,320
Speaker 1: I put it off for a while, but now I

1002
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 1: understand that this is the time. So I'm looking into

1003
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 1: it and I want to get the right value by

1004
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: but I'm willing to spend some money for it too.

1005
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:25,360
Speaker 1: Now it's about is it going to be the standing

1006
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 1: one or is it gonna be the one that goes

1007
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 1: on a desk. I've been doing a lot of research

1008
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 1: because then yeah, aspect to it. So spent a little coin.

1009
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:36,319
Speaker 1: Oh not to burn down my house. Stan rolls out

1010
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 1: of five dollars. It's cold like wearing pajamas next to

1011
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 1: the Christmas tree in them like EMC Hammer's house foreclosure.

1012
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,719
Speaker 1: I got his seat lamp. Um all right, little mc

00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 1: I thought we were talking about two weeks like a Fortnite.

1018
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:07,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what it's like Shakespeare Fortnight right, but no,

1020
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:15,000
