13
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 1: it or we download podcast. So the Jets have made

14
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 1: some moves where they have two first round picks and

15
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: two second round picks in twenty twenty six, three first

16
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: round picks in twenty twenty seven. Meanwhile, the Colts have

17
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: added Sauce Gardner. So which one do you want to Hey,

18
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: where do you want to take it? Do you want

19
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: to take it with the team that added or the

20
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 1: team that's subtracted. Let's start with a team that added.

21
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: Chaine Steiken is the head coach of the Colts. Most

22
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: people thought he was on the hot seat to start

23
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: the season. Danny Dimes has been really, really good. Jonathan

24
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: Taylor bean back, gives them a tremendous running back, and

25
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: now you add an elite two time All Pro cornerback

26
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: to the mix. Here's the Colts head coach on the addition.

27
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: Obviously, I'm really excited about adding Sauce Gardner to our

28
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 2: football team. You know, his resume speaks for itself, Pro bowler,

29
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 2: All Pro, So to get a guy into the building

30
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: like that, it just elevates everybody around us. So really

31
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 2: excited to add him to the fold. I think when

32
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: you're sticky on the back end with the coverage guys

33
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 2: that we got in adding him to the fold obviously,

34
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: you know that makes the quarterback probably hang onto the

35
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: ball a little more, which helps the pass rush, and

36
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 2: it goes hand in hand the same thing. Pass rush

37
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: helps the copverboards on the back end. So anytime you

38
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: add an elite player like that to the back end,

39
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: it's going to help everybody.

40
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: I think that's fair. It's gonna help everybody, right, you

41
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: gotta have help up front or in the backfield. Now

42
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: there's a couple of parts to it. Let's first say,

43
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: for the Jets, I don't like it. I love it

44
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: because you only do this if you have an owner

45
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 1: and Woody Johnson who's probably a little bit too involved,

46
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: but the owner has said, hey, I'm all in on

47
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: the coach. I'm all in on what he's doing and

48
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: what he's selling. And the only way you do this

49
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: is if the owner says, all right, look, we're not

50
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: going to win this year, let's rebuild this team. Let's

51
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 1: rebuild this roster, and here's how we're going to do it.

52
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: And if you think that this is a change in

53
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: mentality and getting rid of defensive players, it's not. It's

54
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: simply getting rid of the two guys with the most

55
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: value who have yet to sign those big long term

56
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: extensions that just bleeds you and give you the inability

57
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: to fill out your roster. The only reason you go

58
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: and have two first round picks, two second round picks,

59
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: three first round picks the next year is because you

60
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: want to go fix your quarterback position. And if you

61
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: think the Jets are happy with their quarterback position with

62
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: justin fields, all you have to do is look at

63
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: the owner's own quotes going back two weeks ago. What

64
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: he said, I mean, we could just complete a four.

65
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: You know, we just complete a pass. No one thinks

66
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: justin Fields is good enough, and the owner has said

67
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: he's not good enough, and he's got his coach, so

68
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: he gives them the ability to gut it, take it

69
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: down to the studs. Let's start over. Here's a Jets GM,

70
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: Darren Moogie talking about the trades he pulled up.

71
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 3: I know it gives us good flexibility going in to

72
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 3: the draft this year and next year. So excited about

73
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 3: having that flexibility. And you know, the draft's a long

74
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 3: way away. There's a lot to happen between now and

75
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,839
Speaker 3: April and then, especially twenty twenty seven. You hear them

76
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 3: and you're like, I probably wouldn't do that, but we

77
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 3: have our set values. Would keep all those conversations private.

78
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 3: And when it came down to the last few days,

79
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 3: Indianapolis kept getting rich and richard with their value and eventually,

80
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 3: like I said, it was too good to pass up.

81
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 3: But there's I have a lot of conversations throughout the

82
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 3: course of the year with different gms, and this one materialized.

83
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: Stug Otleab show here on Fox Sports Tradio. What does

84
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: all this mean? We do operate under the premise, okay,

85
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: that if you're in All Pro and you get traded,

86
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: you're automatically going to be an all pro at a

87
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: new location. And even though I think the Jets valued

88
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: sauce Gardner, you if you thought he if he was

89
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: untradable because he's that good, he's untradable two first round

90
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: draft picks. Says it's close to untradable, but it's not untradable.

91
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: So I want you to refresh your mind on one

92
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: thing I hate when you know, how Jason, how you

93
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: hate prediction radio. What I hate is those debate shows

94
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: which start with a question from somebody in the middle

95
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: who offers no up opinion they're not supposed to, who says,

96
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: should the Jets trade sauce Gardener? And there is while

97
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: there's a yes and a no that producers want to

98
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: get to when you do radio or television that those

99
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: type of questions, the truth is somewhere in the middle.

100
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: Do I want to trade sauce Gardener? No? Do I

101
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: want to trade sauce Gardner? If I'm one in seven,

102
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to pay him a new contract, and

103
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: somebody's willing to give me two first round draft picks

104
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: for him. Well, yet, maybe maybe there's also the other

105
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: side to it, which is there is a chance that

106
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: sauce Gardener, while good, may not be as good as

107
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: they think. Otherwise, would you have taken two first round

108
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 1: draft picks because two first round draft picks, well, it

109
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: resets your clock on how much you're going to pay guys.

110
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: And it is a value because you can trade it

111
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: for several second and third round picks where you can

112
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: really load up on inexpensive talent. The fact is, all

113
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: you're hoping with those two first round draft picks is

114
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 1: that one of the players is as impactful sauce Gardner

115
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: has been throughout his career, and it hasn't been very long.

116
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: So there's a world out there where it looks like

117
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: a great trade for the Colts. They overpaid value wise

118
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: because they knew what they were getting, and yet maybe

119
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: maybe the Jets get over on them. For over forty years,

120
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: Tyrek has been helping customers from the right tis for how,

121
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: what and where they drive ship past and free and

122
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: back by free road as protection with convenient in salation

123
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: options like mobile tire slation, tyret dot com, the way

124
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: tire buying should be buyer. I offer this up. I

125
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: know we had the trade deadline, I get it, but

126
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: I do think that the Jets this is like SEC football,

127
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: where the end of the season is going to be

128
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: terribly non competitive during times in which usually those are

129
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: the most viewed games.

130
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, they've I mean they've They've punted on this season,

131
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 4: and it's it's kind of why I've never felt that

132
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 4: Aaron Glenn was in jeopardy of losing his job no

133
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 4: matter how bad things went, because, as we found out today,

134
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 4: Quinn Williams had been complaining all year behind the scenes,

135
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 4: at least quietly or requesting a trade out of town.

136
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 4: We knew that there was going to be changeover. It

137
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 4: didn't make much sense to have Sauce Gardner the cornerback

138
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 4: of his level, even if he maybe wasn't playing to

139
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 4: the hype that he previously was playing, He's still top

140
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 4: level corner and to have him on a bad team,

141
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 4: it's just his the compareson Because we've talked about this

142
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 4: for the last couple of weeks on the I Want

143
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 4: Your Flex podcast, is closer on a bad baseball team. Yeah,

144
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 4: it's awesome to have a guy who can go into

145
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 4: the ninth and get one, two, three, But what's the point. Yeah, exactly,

146
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 4: So it made sense for the you know, for the

147
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 4: Jets in that scenario. What I find so interesting at

148
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 4: least then that's Pacific Colts Jets deal is look at

149
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 4: how this Jets team was was just just crumbled into

150
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 4: the ruins that it is now with the build up starting,

151
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 4: like I think, we have seen the team hit rock

152
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 4: bottom from where it was at one point and where

153
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 4: it could have been. And you would think I was

154
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 4: blamed Aaron Rodgers. No, I actually think that Aaron Rodgers

155
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 4: got caught up in the rubble of all of this

156
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,119
Speaker 4: and the dysfunction. But also, Doug, look at the Colts. Now,

157
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 4: the Colts are saying we're all in. We're gonna give

158
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 4: up two first round picks, and while they have a

159
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 4: great offensive line, it really means they believe in Daniel

160
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 4: Jones and they really, I think, want to cash in

161
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 4: on these this year where Jonathan Taylor remains is healthy

162
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 4: and knock On Wood remains healthy, because this could be

163
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 4: the opportunity. The one thing with Taylor throughout his career

164
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 4: has been all right. Is he going to get injured

165
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 4: at some point? He's going to miss a couple of

166
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 4: games and they're all in at this point. I really

167
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 4: think that they're all in for this season, and they'll

168
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 4: have decisions to make further down the line, and this

169
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 4: trade ends up reflecting that by giving away two firsts.

170
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: I agree with you, And it's one of those things

171
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,599
Speaker 1: for the Colts where how often are you going to

172
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: get this opportunity? Right? The Chiefs are kind of the

173
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: Bills look beatable, not unbeatable, The Chargers are all banged up, right,

174
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: Denver's fine, Like, let's not act like Denver's spectacular and

175
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 1: if you can go for it, like, go for it, yeah,

176
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: and worry about the rest of another time. I do

177
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: think there's the possibility you mentioned that sauce Gardner is

178
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: he not playing well because he knows he's on a

179
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: crummy team and he's just not dialed in, or is

180
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: he not as good as as we thought or maybe

181
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: he used to be.

182
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 4: And the same thing with Quinnon Williams with his numbers

183
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 4: that maybe weren't up to previous seasons, and I think

184
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 4: that will have something to it. I think that there

185
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 4: there will be a boost. It's just it's it's interesting

186
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 4: as well when you why you're a corner when we

187
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 4: look at the AFC right now and you're like, what

188
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,839
Speaker 4: receivers do you need to lock up? Well, there's none

189
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 4: in Buffalo, Kansas City. You're like, Okay, maybe Roshie Rice

190
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 4: is the guy New England, Stefan Diggs. You know, like,

191
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 4: there's there's that one portion of it. Pitt, Yeah, DK

192
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 4: Metcalf isn't really there's And that's kind of my point

193
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 4: of So now now I'm curious to see what the

194
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 4: Colts do with this. Is it to lock up Nico Collins?

195
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 4: Is it to lock up Brian Thomas junior receivers in

196
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 4: your division? That makes a lot of sense to do

197
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 4: that as well, But I'm just curious on how it's

198
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 4: going to play out, especially with the team in the

199
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 4: running for a home field in the AFC.

200
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 5: This is the best of the Doug dott Leaf Show

201
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 5: on Fox Sports Radio.

202
00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: It's the Doug gott Leeb Show, Fox Sports Radio. I

203
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: can't tell you that most normal human beings would be

204
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 1: at Cedar Sinai, but no, Dan Byer is going to

205
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 1: join us. For an update in the moment, it's fighting through.

206
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: Is it a voice thing or is it a cold?

207
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: I got a little I can't tell if it's cold

208
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: something annoyance. It's getting cold outside here, Dan, So I'm

209
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: a little a smidge.

210
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 5: Under the weather.

211
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: But you've had more of a voice.

212
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 4: Thing, right, Yeah, yeah, I think I'm on the other

213
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 4: end of it. It actually kind of I had a

214
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 4: sore throat last week and then Friday is when my

215
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 4: voice really kind of started to go south.

216
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 6: So, oh, that's good.

217
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: I woke up with a sore throat today.

218
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 4: That's oh, that's the start of it. Yeah, that's for me.

219
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 4: Throat is always step one.

220
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: But we haven't made out in weeks, so I don't.

221
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 6: Know, as been months.

222
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: Do you think we could? We could, I could get

223
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: it microphone, the microphone YouTube.

224
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 6: Sure, I'm not sure. Let's try right.

225
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 1: Uh, let's let's not all right, Let's let's maintain our

226
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: social distancing. We'll get up dated from Dan in a second.

227
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: Andrew Brand joins us from executive with the pastor at Packers,

228
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: host of the Business of Sports podcast of the DraftKings Network.

229
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 1: He writes a comm at SI dot com and authors

230
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: the Sunday seven newsletter. Andrew, thanks so much for joining us.

231
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: Give me the financial implications, if you would, of the

232
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: Jet the Jets the old fire sale taking place, Quinn

233
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: Williams gone and Sauce Gardner gone draft picks in return.

234
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: But what are the financial implications of such trades?

235
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 7: Well, when you move on from a player with a

236
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 7: big number, you're going to take a hit on the cap. Obviously,

237
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 7: the cash goes away, so everything's been paid. Is now

238
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 7: the obligation of the cults and the cowboys what's do

239
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 7: on those contracts. But the hit will be in terms

240
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 7: of leftover accounting from the cap circumstances. But you know what,

241
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 7: it's not too terrible with these young players and the

242
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 7: hits for what they did with these extensions. It's in

243
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 7: the thirteen to twenty range for each of them. And

244
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 7: that's in this day and age. It's not a ton

245
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 7: of debt money. Let me just say this about the

246
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 7: contract though, especially Gardner. They structured Gardner's contract. When you

247
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 7: do a big extension for a top player usually given

248
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,359
Speaker 7: them big time bonus, like thirty forty fifty million dollars.

249
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 7: It only gave a relatively modest bonus to Gardner of

250
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 7: thirteen million dollars. Now, they did part with that earlier

251
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 7: this year, but it's an option bonus in twenty six

252
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 7: for twenty plus million dollars. And that tells me like

253
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 7: they wanted to keep their options open with this guy,

254
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 7: and the agent's acquiesced that. And it's very interesting to

255
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 7: me that Gardener would accept one of these contracts without

256
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 7: that huge upfront bonus and putting it into the second

257
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 7: year which gave them optionality on this deal. And Doug,

258
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 7: I'll say really quickly, I am not a fan of

259
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 7: the in their personnel moves, but I like these deals.

260
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 7: I think they maximized value for these two players. They're

261
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 7: not going to be very good for a while. This

262
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 7: team is going to be awful, but they maximize value

263
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 7: for these two trades.

264
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, you get rid of those salaries.

265
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: And my guess would also be they load up to

266
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: try and get a quarterback and they probably use the

267
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: rest of the picks, you know, to get more picks

268
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: to get guys outside of the first round where you

269
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: don't have to pay as much money and the hit

270
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: rate is only slightly lower. Right, seems like an interesting

271
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: It seems like a logical business plan when you're gonna

272
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: scrap it and start all over, is it not?

273
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 7: It does, And we'll get to the Cowboys in a minute.

274
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 7: But the Colts, you know, it's one of these low

275
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 7: margin for error deals like hed better be Yep, Gardner

276
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 7: a top pick of number two three corner in the NFL.

277
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 7: I mean I'm looking at two number ones. I'm thinking

278
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 7: quarterbacks Micah Parsons, Miles Garrett, and not many others. You know,

279
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 7: two number ones. Wow, maybe certain, but that is just

280
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 7: you better be. He better be not just as good,

281
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 7: he better be all pro good.

282
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: All right, now go on to Cowboys.

283
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 7: I just don't get it. You know, when I say

284
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 7: two number ones for Gardeners seemed high, it seems like

285
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 7: a one in a two for Williams seems really high.

286
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 7: They got Kenny Clark as part of the Parsons trade

287
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 7: to shore up the middle of that defense, and it's

288
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 7: been awful. So now they get a similar type player.

289
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 7: They're not addressing the pass rush, they're not addressing the

290
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 7: slow linebacker corps. They're going to have a bad defense

291
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 7: with or without Quinn Williams. And then you look at

292
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 7: the whole total haul with the two trades, Doug. So

293
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 7: they give away Michael Parsons and you know, they get

294
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 7: back Quinn Williams and now only one number one pick

295
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 7: and Kenny Clark. It's just I just don't get it

296
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 7: with them. I know that Jones likes to create a

297
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 7: stir wherever he goes, but they are not fixing their

298
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 7: weakest link, which is pass rush and secondary coverage. And

299
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 7: they have two space heating defensive linemen out of these trades,

300
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 7: but that doesn't seem to be doing it.

301
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,720

308
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on the Bengals and Hendrickson.

309
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 7: I don't get why they didn't move him, and they

310
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 7: obviously they didn't because they didn't feel they got good value.

311
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 7: But he's a free agent, so you're not going anywhere

312
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 7: this year, got the worst defense in the league. Why

313
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 7: not get something he's not staying. I would put a

314
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 7: stake in the ground, as you would, that Trey Henderson

315
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 7: is not going to be a Bengal next year as

316
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 7: a free agent. So I just don't get it. Like

317
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 7: take a third round pick, take a fourth round pick,

318
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 7: I mean, you're not going anywhere. I thought that would

319
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 7: be a surefire trade. I don't get it. The Bengals

320
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 7: defense is historically bad, and but for that, Doug, we'd

321
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 7: be talking about Joe Flacco, like among MVPs if they

322
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 7: had won these games that where they gave up forty

323
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 7: five points. I mean, it's just it's a tough situation

324
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 7: in Cincy.

325
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: Oh, it is really a tough situation. Did you like

326
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: the Sam Donald move signing when it was signed?

327
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 7: I did, And I even thought the Vikings could I

328
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 7: guess I would say should have bit the bullet forty

329
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 7: million dollar franchise tag while still developing McCarthy coming off

330
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 7: a ACL so I kind of thought the Vikings would

331
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 7: do that, and then he was out forbid, and I

332
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 7: thought Donald would be an upgrade over Gino Smith. I've

333
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 7: been proven right there I didn't think Gino would be

334
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 7: this bad on the Raiders.

335
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: I did not. I didn't think, you know, it would

336
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: be particularly good with the Raiders. I didn't think he'd

337
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: be this bad with the Raiders. He'd been nothing but solid,

338
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: nothing but solid. Okay, let's get back to the Colts.

339
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: Would you redo, would you extend Danny Dives?

340
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 7: You know what I said about the trades, Doug, is

341
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 7: that this is the best things possible for Danny Daniel Jones,

342
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 7: because what you use those two number one picks for

343
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 7: is a quarterback. Now. I know they whiffed on Anthony Richardson,

344
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 7: but they would go after it again. So to me,

345
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 7: that is either a franchise tag or another big time

346
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 7: deal for Daniel Jones. We already got one with the Giants,

347
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 7: and I don't know if I'm sold get it. I

348
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 7: get it before last week. He's an MVP candidate. I

349
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 7: just don't know if I'm sold into. You know, when

350
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 7: he did it with the Giants, Doug, it was a

351
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 7: forty million dollar market. Now it's a fifty five to

352
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 7: sixty million market, which he'd be in his in his

353
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 7: rights to ask for. So I guess I'm predicting a

354
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 7: franchise tag. I just don't see a sixty million a

355
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 7: year for Daniel Jones. I wouldn't do it.

356
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: Have you you're part of the Packers. Have you been

357
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: a part of or seen a Packers team like this

358
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: one where kind of plays the level of competition. The

359
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: good teams they played well, the bad teams they seem

360
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: to play down to the level of competition.

361
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, still a fan, still close with people out there.

362
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 7: It's a it's a scratcher head the two they've lost

363
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 7: two games this year to the worst two teams they played.

364
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 7: That's just head scratching. I'll say it again. They've lost

365
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 7: their two games this year to the two worst teams

366
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 7: they've played, and they just dominated the Steelers, who beat

367
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 7: the Colts at the same building. So it is curious.

368
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 7: I think there's a you know, there's a play with

369
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 7: their food sometimes mentality with the Packers. It just seems

370
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 7: like they have so much talent, even losing Craft. They're

371
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 7: getting back Jayden Reid, they have three or four dynamic receivers,

372
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 7: and of course Jacobs and of course Love who I'm

373
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 7: still even after that horror harble one pass, I is

374
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 7: still a big fan of Jordan Love. So I'm still

375
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 7: high on the Packers along with the Eagles in that conference.

376
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: Well, Packers and the Eagles next Monday night at Lambeau

377
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: and it should be an absolute show. Should be a

378
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,639

Speaker 1: Ok Uh, what about you there, damn By, are you

396
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: a dog person?

397
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 6: We don't have a dog.

398
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 4: It's such a it's such a you're putting me in

399
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 4: such an awful spot because when you say someone's not

400
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 4: a dog person, there looked at as the most evil

401
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 4: people in the world. So oh oh, come on, if

402
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 4: you just say that you're not a dog person, nothing

403
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 4: of anything against dogs, Just like I'm not a dog person,

404
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 4: you are put into a category you like you are.

405
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 4: You are banished.

406
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 8: You might as well be Michael Vick.

407
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: No, yeah, Dan, I love you. I think you're overreacting.

408
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: I I think I asked it in a very fair

409
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: way because I think it's fair to say, like, what

410
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: you don't go is like I hate dogs. You go like, hey,

411
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:32,959
Speaker 1: I'm just not a dog person. I got a kid,

412
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: I got a job, my wife's got a job.

413
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 4: Like you know.

414
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't think that flies like, am I right?

415
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 6: Like with some people? Some people, Yeah, I.

416
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: Think it's just again there there there are death. There

417
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: are always crazy people who love what they love and

418
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: think everybody's crazy if you don't love them. I am

419
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: not that guy. I'm not that person. I love dogs.

420
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: I have three currently, it's probably one too many now.

421
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: I'm not going to off any of them. It's just

422
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,479
Speaker 1: where we are right now. I love dogs, I love cats.

423
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: I don't less Sary. I love cats. I like having

424
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: a cat. Having a cat's easy, they're super easy. But

425
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: I don't currently have one, and I totally understand that

426
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: there's lots of people like I don't cats. I don't know.

427
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: They just they kind of do their own thing. I'm

428
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: not into them. I like a dog. And then some

429
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: people like, I don't like dogs. They get in your face,

430
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: they smell, they stick up your house, they they do things,

431
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: and they're expensive. So no, it's okay, it's okay if

432
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: you're not into having dogs. You just got like, I'm

433
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: not really a dog person.

434
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 4: Okay, I think there's I think there's baseline, and I

435
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 4: think that there's then dog people.

436
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 1: So I'm a dog person. But I am not judgmental

437
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: at all of people who don't like dogs. My view

438
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: of people who don't like dogs is much like my

439
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: view of people who are who are gay. Okay, there's

440
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: more options for me. That's the way I like.

441
00:23:58,520 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 6: As but.

442
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 4: That I think what we need to do is we

443
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 4: need to go to say, Jason, are you a dog person?

444
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: Jason, are you a dog? I know Jason's not a

445
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: dog person.

446
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 6: Oh yes, no time. Yeah, they just lost one unfortunately.

447
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 1: That's right.

448
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, a bad topic there.

449
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: Do you want your dog that you had to put down, which,

450
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: by the way, is the most traumatic thing ever ever? Uh?

451
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: Do you want your dog? Do you want to be cloned?

452
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: Like Tom Brady's dog was cloned?

453
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 8: No, I'm creeped out, but I'm creeped out by this

454
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:29,360
Speaker 8: whole thing.

455
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: The whole thing is creepy. Let's just be honest. Like

456
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, he looks like he's had plastic shirdury done.

457
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: Is that? Does anybody dispute that? I don't know it

458
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: for a fact. I'm not accusing him of it. I'm

459
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: saying what it looks like to somebody who's not as

460
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: good looking as he is. Is that Is that fair?

461
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 8: It's fair? Yes?

462
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, yeah, I'm again, this is not me defaming.

463
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: Oh he's he's addicted to I don't know if he

464
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: had nip tucks done. I don't know if he just

465
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: has botox. I don't know how any of that stuff works.

466
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: I'm ugly, and I'm gonna have to live with it.

467
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 1: That's the way it is. I do think it tracks

468
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: with everything else with Tom Brady. I just do like

469
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: he's that guy. He's that guy that wears a suit

470
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: on the sidelines to go shake hands and take pictures

471
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: of people before an NFL game. Nobody else does. It's

472
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: like he's he's classically overdressed. He has to seemingly look

473
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: perfect his teeth. It looks like every day is a

474
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: whitening stripp day. And the fact that he had a dog,

475
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: and I like that, like you kind of clone a

476
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 1: dog anytime you have a dog that's a from a breeder. Anyway,

477
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 1: you know the why am I blanking on the name?

478
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: What's the great comedian?

479
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:49,199
Speaker 7: Uh?

480
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 1: He hated all of societal norms? Am I thinking, oh jeez.

481
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 6: Oh, oh, that's every comedian.

482
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 8: Down there. Dog?

483
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: Thanks, that was terrible. No, white guy, white guy passed away?

484
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 6: Oh yeah that guy.

485
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, white guy passed away. Older. Oh come George,

486
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: George Carlin. George Carlin would all had had a bit

487
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: where he said, like, you know, the think about it die.

488
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: Everybody makes it that to be the dog. But you

489
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: can literally take your dog when it is dead, put

490
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: it up on the counter, goes, I love this dog,

491
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: Give me one just like it, and then both you

492
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 1: get one just like it. Tom Brady took that to

493
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: the next step, Like, you know, I want to just

494
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: I literally want the dog just like it. I would

495
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: love to know if the dog behaves, has the same name,

496
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: responds to the same commands, didn't have to be trained,

497
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: or was trained the same way. It's creepy as.

498
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,479
Speaker 6: Hell pet cemetery, that's what it is.

499
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: I've never seen it.

500
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 6: Oh that's a good movie.

501
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's good.

502
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 6: It's creepy.

503
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: I I don't love creepy, but okay, I mean I

504
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: have Twindy and Cold at Night. Maybe does anybody think

505
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 1: this is a cool story, a normal story? Does anybody

506
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: like the story? Or is everybody creeped out by it?

507
00:26:59,160 --> 00:26:59,959
Speaker 1: Like me and Jason are.

508
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 4: I don't think it's cool. I just not as it's

509
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 4: a world that I don't relate to.

510
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: Okay, that's fair. It's like it's like rich people stuff

511
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: like yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't know what it's

512
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 1: like to have Nanni's.

513
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 8: Like when when Brady I put out, obviously he made

514
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 8: the announcement to also endorse this company that I'm guessing

515
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 8: he has a stake in, and ye that it adds

516
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 8: to the dirtiness the whole thing. But this is one

517
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 8: of the bylaws or one of the things that Colossal,

518
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 8: the company that cloned his dog sells to the public.

519
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 8: They aim to fix extinction, And to me, that just

520
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 8: just it's so unnatural to me that I'm I'm just

521
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 8: kind of diametrically opposed to that concept. Just let let

522
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 8: human life and other living beings go the way they're

523
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 8: supposed to be.

524
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 1: Please, Yep, yep, I think that's totally fair, totally fair.

525

536
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: was my Scooby Doo. By the way, guys, my Scooby Doo.

537
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: You know you got NBA games, you got some college

538
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: football but it's Wednesday is kind of the calm before

539
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: the oh storm. Right. Got college hoops as well, So

540
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: there's a lot of potential storylines, but nothing that jumps

541
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: out at you to day other than you know, the

542
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: Jets kind of fire sale. If you will tomorrow, you

543
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: got Raiders Denver. Denver's a talking point. Tonight, you don't

544
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: have much. So let's get to the midway.

545
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 7: He's not getting.

546
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: Mid with you.

547
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 6: It's time for the.

548
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 5: Midway.

549
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: Okay, there, Dan Byer, what do you got my man?

550
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: What are you thinking of the midway?

551
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 8: Well?

552
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 4: I really thought that Jason brought up a great point

553
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 4: that it's it's the midway point of the season, right Jason, Like,

554
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 4: this is the halfway points.

555
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 8: If it's pretty simple of the mouth, there's eighteen weeks

556
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 8: and if you divide eighteen by two, it's nine. So

557
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 8: we just finished the ninth week. It's very simple. Mouth.

558
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 8: I'm not sure how that could be confused.

559
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 4: I know this one guy who like last week, was like,

560
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 4: it's the halfway point of the season, right now, you

561
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 4: take seventeen and he even asked my buddy, he goes,

562
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 4: what's half of seventeen? And my buddy was like, and

563
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 4: they're like, all right, we're in it. Oh man, what

564
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 4: a crazy spot right now?

565
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 8: Is the halfway point of the NFL season. I got

566
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 8: zero responses to it. I blame Ryan Smith here for

567
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 8: not responding. I want to know halfway through the NFL

568
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 8: season one of two things. What was the biggest surprise

569
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 8: from the first half of the season or what's the

570
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 8: storyline that you are looking forward to following moving forward

571
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 8: for the second half of the season. Which one do

572
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 8: you guys want to do? I think they're both game.

573
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 8: I think that I'll work in this spot. Even when

574
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 8: we talked about it last week. I think there's a

575
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 8: midway point. There's things that you can look ahead and

576
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 8: look back to. The reason I didn't respond was because

577
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 8: I thought we decided last week that we were going

578
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 8: to do that this week when I told you, they

579
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 8: were eighteen weeks in the NFL season. So that's why

580
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 8: there was no response today, because I just figured that

581
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 8: this was this was the given the portion of the equation, mm.

582
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: Hmm, I'm gonna do. I like first half of the season.

583
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: I like looking back, we can wonder and maybe do

584
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: next week and do the last kick the kick of

585
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: the season. I just think there's all kinds of interesting

586
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: things the culture. The most interesting they just are. I mean,

587
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: between Chris Ballard, their GM, Shane Stike in their head coach,

588
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: I think most people thought they were on some form

589
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: of hot seat. And remember they started this year with

590
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson planning to be their starting quarterback, despite the

591
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: fact last year for him ended so strangely, and they

592
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: had Danny Daniel Jones and whatever the NFL thinks of him,

593
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: popular public opinion was super down on Daniel Jones. And

594
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: when you say Danny Dimes, it's kind of said with

595
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: a wink nod, you know what I mean. Danny Dives

596
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: been great, Jonathan Taylor has been awesome, the defense been

597
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: pretty good. Shane Styke is a tremendous play color, and

598
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: they got a shot now adding Sauce Gardner to go

599
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: far in the AFC playoffs, not just with how good

600
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: they are, but how beaten up and how average everybody

601
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: else is. I can't think of a more interesting story

602
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: that's different than we thought it would be than the

603
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts.

604
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 4: And and I think that the trepidation from people or

605
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 4: the people who have some questions about the Colts are

606
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 4: the ones who haven't watched the Colts.

607
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 6: They like they are.

608
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: They are really the Chargers ass right, like Jaseu like

609
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: they kick their ass.

610
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 4: But I would rather a team turn the ball over

611
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 4: six times than to be uh not be able to

612
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 4: do anything on offense, like they didn't get their running

613
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 4: game going, but like they like they they lost the

614
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 4: game with seven, but it was probably realistically a two

615
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 4: score game. Sure, but to turn it over six times

616
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 4: means like, oh my gosh, what are you doing? And

617
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 4: I've been frustrated with the Seahawks at times in the

618
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 4: way that they've turned over the ball earlier in the season.

619
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 4: But turning over the ball sometimes, I don't think is

620
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 4: a sign of.

621
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 6: I would have happened.

622
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: Multiple weeks in a row. It happened three weeks in

623
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: a row, like okay, now we got a pro act

624
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: correct and Jay Stu. I'm not saying the Colts are

625
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: the best team in the AMC or that's not a

626
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: sign of ooh, maybe the damn is gonna break, maybe

627
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: this team will come back down to earth. Right, I'm

628
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: not saying the question or we were trying to talk

629
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: about the midway is most interesting first half storylines that's

630
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: pretty interesting to me that the Colts, who none of

631
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: us were like, if you would have listed your top

632
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: eight teams or your top ten teams from the AFC

633
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: to start the year, would you have listened to the Colts.

634
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 6: No, it's not a chance.

635
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 8: I thought stich In and Ballard were like on the

636
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 8: way out.

637
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I said. Yeah, no question. So that's

638
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: why I would say it's again, I'm not proclaiming them

639
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: to be the best team in the AFC, to be

640
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: a super Bowl favorite. You know, there's lots of teams

641
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: they have better record than. I'm not sure they're actually

642
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: better then, But so far in the first half season,

643
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 1: they have shown themselves to be prett darn good, shown

644
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 1: themselves to be well coached, and it's the surprise of

645
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,720
Speaker 1: the year for me how well the Colts have played

646
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: with Daniel Jones, that quarterback.

647
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 4: Can we do an actual look at the Kansas City Chiefs,

648
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 4: because I don't feel that we ever really look at

649
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 4: them in a way that isn't somewhat biased one way

650
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 4: or another. Starting of the year, zero and two hots over,

651
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 4: super Bowl hangover.

652
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 6: Then they go and they win.

653
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 4: Five out of six guests, Who's back Kansas City, best

654
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 4: team in the NFL, and then we see them loose

655
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 4: to the Bills this past weekend. As I mentioned earlier,

656
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:49,959
Speaker 4: if the playoffs were to start the day, the Chiefs

657
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 4: would not be in the playoffs. They're at five and four,

658
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 4: So who are they? They don't have a running game.

659
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 4: They don't have a running back right now. Their win,

660
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 4: their best win on the slate is a home win

661
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 4: against the Lions. It's a nice win you to take that.

662
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 4: Detroit's a very good team. But the Baltimore win lamar

663
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 4: Get's hurt in the game. Not that they would have

664
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 4: won it if he was healthy, but Baltimore isn't the same.

665
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 4: Win against the Giants is nothing. The Raiders they blank

666
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 4: them thirty one nothing. Raiders aren't any good. The Commanders said,

667
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 4: Marcus Mariota is their quarterback. They just haid Josh Allen

668
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 4: go twenty three to twenty six against them.

669
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 6: So really, how good are the Kansas City Chiefs?

670
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 8: They're not a playoff team if it started today? Right?

671
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:38,720
Speaker 6: Yep?

672
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 8: And was was Sunday not the smallest biggest game of

673
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 8: any weekend, Like for all the hype that CBS gave

674
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 8: it and Jim Nantz and Tony Romo did their best

675
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 8: to make it sound big. It was almost like and

676
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,479
Speaker 8: you kind of had to take Josh Allen's lead. After

677
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,720
Speaker 8: the game. He was basically like, we haven't done anything.

678
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 8: Like the Bills beat the Chiefs. That's what they do.

679
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 8: They just never beat them when they have to. I

680
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 8: found that to be interesting. The smallest, biggest game of

681
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 8: the weekend Bill's Chiefs camp.

682
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 4: It's the rivalry in the NFL, and it looks like

683
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 4: it's a seven point loss on the road against Buffalo,

684
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 4: which doesn't look bad. But when you dig a little

685
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 4: deeper and you watch the game, Buffalo is in pretty

686
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 4: good control for that contest.

687
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 8: I'm gonna say, Drake May. I'm gonna say that. I'll

688
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,720
Speaker 8: say the Patriots, but Drake May. Let's focus uber focus

689
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 8: on the Drake May part of this. Okay, As you

690
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 8: guys know, as I've said on this broadcast, I care

691
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 8: less about sports than I do about how sports is covered.

692
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 8: I probably follow how sports is covered too much. I

693
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 8: get real bogged down in the weeds of what people

694
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 8: say about it, and I like to point out contradictions

695
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 8: and predictions. The Drake May story, guys, and how the

696
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 8: media has covered this thing has been just laughable. Okay,

697
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,720
Speaker 8: So let's go back at the beginning of the college

698
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 8: football season in twenty three, it was like Kayleb Williams,

699
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 8: Drake May, Drake May or Kerry Williams. They were they

700
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 8: were by far the greatest two quarterbacks that'll ever come

701
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 8: out of the of the NFL draft. It was one

702
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 8: and two, which one do you swat? Who knows? And

703
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 8: then it plays out and Drake May falls, He falls

704
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 8: out of favor, didn't have a great last season. All

705
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 8: of a sudden, Jaden Daniels has taken in front of

706
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 8: him in the draft. Drake May plays a pretty good

707
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 8: rookie season, then gets eight, gets a Mike Rabels season

708
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 8: this year, and now everyone's saying, hey, if we redrafted

709
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 8: this whole thing, Drake May's at the top. It's obvious

710
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 8: it's Drake May. It's obviously Drake May. So anyways, and

711
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 8: Doug just said he's the MVP last segment. So I

712
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 8: want people to please be consistent with their coverage. That's

713
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 8: all I ask him.

714
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 4: Doug ad him second in the MVP. Did pick Josh

715
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 4: Allen over him, but more so than Patrick Mahomes. From

716
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 4: what the odds are saying, But yeah, you're absolutely right.

717
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 4: How about the Ryan Poles piece that came out where

718
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 4: he put together that that basically disc clip of Drake

719
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 4: May when they were evaluating quarterbacks because he so wanted

720
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 4: to take Caleb Williams. I love that little nugget that

721
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 4: we got entering this season and now and now, by

722
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,240
Speaker 4: the way, do we know if you would take Caleb

723
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 4: Jaden Daniels over Caleb Williams because that was the discussion

724
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,479
Speaker 4: this whole last of the season.

725
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely right. Now are we so sure that we

726
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 6: want to do that?

727
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 8: And you know what people are saying, Well, of course

728
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 8: you don't take Jade Williams because he's not He's not available.

729
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 8: I thought coming out of college he was the guy

730
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 8: that was too thin and too weak. I thought that

731
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 8: was the knock on him. Now you're gonna knock him

732
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 8: for being unavailable. What's going on here?

733
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 6: Yes? They last year was just such a funky year

734
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 6: for the Commanders.

735
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: I have a couple other first half of the season,

736
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 1: the downfall of the Dolphins is a big story. And

737
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: it's a big story because, look, we've talked about about

738
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,919
Speaker 1: Tua over the years. The six years he's been in

739
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: the injuries, the arm strength or whatever. But Mike McDaniel

740
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 1: escaped all of this criticism unscathed. Right, He was cool.

741
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: He's like a hipster coach. He's got the glasses, he's

742
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: got the joggers. You know, he drives a Bentley. He's

743
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 1: kind of got swagged to him. Whatever has happened, there

744
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: has been an abject disaster and his GM has already

745
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: been fired. I don't know what they do it too,

746
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 1: it going going forward, and reports now are that he's safe,

747
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,879
Speaker 1: but I can't see it that the season has done

748
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 1: well him him being safe. Mike McDaniel going from the

749
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 1: snapshot of what the league may people think the league

750
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: may look like in ten years, to being the first

751
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 1: coach out that downfall has been passed.

752
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 8: Why would McDaniel's job be safe if they bring in

753
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 8: a new GM. Isn't he just gonna pick a new

754
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,439
Speaker 8: head coach. Isn't that the train of thought? Or they're

755
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 8: actually gonna keep the head coach?

756
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: No? I mean, look, I agree with you. I don't

757
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,280
Speaker 1: think it's safe. But they have said, and they leaked

758
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: to the NFL insiders that oh, they like Mike Dane

759
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna be safe, Like, what are they gonna say?

760
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: You know, if you say, hey, good be coaching for

761
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 1: his job. Everybody knows. Everybody knows anyway, but it's the

762
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 1: public statement.

763
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 4: By the way, I would rather be Chris Greer than

764
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:37,240
Speaker 4: Mike McDaniel. I'd rather not have to be at work

765
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 4: rather than let go people like man remember the stephen A.

766
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 6: Smith.

767
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd much rather be Chris Greer. Move on, look

768
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 4: for your next gig. All McDaniel's got to deal with

769
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,240
Speaker 4: now is this team for the next eight weeks?

770
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,399
Speaker 8: I thought Ryan Smith had a really good point about

771
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 8: the Raiders. What was it, Ryan, he's a big Raiders guy.

772
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 4: Yes, I want to know how in the world did

773
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 4: the Raiders beat the Patriots on Week one?

774
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 6: How how did that happen?

775
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: You got throughout Week one results?

776
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 3: Right, it's I get that, but it's the Raiders, Like

777
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,879
Speaker 3: how there?

778
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what Survivor pools. I was on New

779
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 4: England week one, lost one of my entries. They played

780
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 4: a good half against the Raiders and then the Raiders

781
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 4: for whatever reason, outclass them. Gino what threw for like

782
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 4: three hundred and seventy yards? There was no Christian Gonzales

783
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 4: for New England at that point. Then the next week

784
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 4: the Patriots got into a bit of a shootout against

785
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 4: the Dolphins. That was a close contest, but New England

786
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 4: ends up winning it in the end. So New England

787
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 4: was close to maybe starting the year zero to two

788
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 4: with losses to the Raiders and Dolphins, and now they're

789
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 4: sitting there seven to two atop the conference. And honestly,

790
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 4: I don't want to say look unbeatable, because they could

791
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 4: have very well lost to the to the Falcons, but

792
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 4: they we're in control of that game against Atlanta and

793
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 4: now look like a formidable opponent that come playoff on.

794
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 4: Speaking of the Falcons, to me, they're my puzzler. I mean,

795
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 4: we love Bejon Robinson, we love the running game. That

796
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 4: division looked like it was up for grabs, and then

797
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 4: they play on Monday Night and they have a dominating

798
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,439
Speaker 4: win against the Buffalo Bills, and then you just throw

799
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 4: in a stinker at Carolina. They've been all over the

800
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 4: map this year. The Falcons are my puzzler, sitting there

801
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 4: at three and five.

802
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: And that, my friends, is the Midway.

803
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 5: The Midway
