Last minute ticket's lowest price is guarantee. 59 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: The tush push has survived, and the Eagles and Jalen 60 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: Hurts and Nick Sirianni will get in short yard of 61 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: situations in the goal line and they will score touchdowns 62 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 1: and they will create first downs. 63 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 2: And my overall take on this has been kind of indifferent, 64 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 2: and I'm typically on I would say polarizing topics not 65 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 2: usually a fence sitter. But I was unbothered by the play, 66 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 2: but also understood if it disappeared tomorrow, I wouldn't be faced. 67 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 2: Completely understood why the Eagles would want it, and I 68 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 2: understood the old school football guys like Mike Vrabel, going, 69 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 2: what are we actually talking about? This is a football play, 70 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 2: and they have a player who is better at this 71 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 2: than anyone else. If you have a quarterback who can 72 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 2: squat six hundred and fifty pounds, you would do the 73 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 2: same thing. We saw Josh Allen, one of the strongest, 74 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 2: most athletic players in the NFL, and an inability to 75 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 2: gain half a yard, and part of it was because, 76 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 2: unlike Jalen to go low, he had to go hi. 77 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 2: And so I was, I'm cool with this, and I 78 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 2: do understand the detractors. I get the NFL. I don't 79 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 2: get all caught up like Jeffrey Lurie. It's a healthy play. 80 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,039 Speaker 2: Jason Kelcey, who has kind of gone viral that there 81 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 2: was a big ESPN dot com article about an impassioned 82 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 2: plea how him and Jerry Jones were watching film and 83 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 2: Jerry's like, listen, I don't want to give the Eagles 84 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 2: an advantage but makes a good point so that you 85 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 2: know the Jeffrey lury and how we break out the 86 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 2: big guns, bringing Kelsey to talk about this place, and 87 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 2: if we could run this sixty times a game, I'd 88 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 2: still be playing in the NFL. And listen, the reason 89 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 2: this works for the Eagles is they have a dominant 90 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 2: offensive line, but most importantly the quarterback. If the quarterback 91 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 2: was someone else, it would not be as effective. So 92 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 2: Jared Goff or Brock Purty or Josh Allen or just 93 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 2: go around the league Baker Mayfield. The advantage is the 94 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 2: strength of Jalen. And like Vrabel was saying, like what 95 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 2: stops us from doing this and that like defending the Eagles, 96 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 2: and I was like, yeah, I don't care. And some 97 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,559 Speaker 2: of the comments to come out, you know, Jeffrey Lewy, 98 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 2: I guess gave like a long diatribe about the health 99 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 2: of this play and if you take this play out, 100 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 2: it'll actually make guys less safe, even for your teams, 101 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 2: and I guess dropped a line about a young child's 102 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 2: wet dream with how great this play is. And then 103 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 2: Troy Vincent, you know, went full ESPN was like, that's 104 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 2: offensive to the women in here. It's like, Troy, calm down, buddy. 105 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 2: Any person in this room offended by using the words 106 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 2: wet dream like, give me a break. This is this 107 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 2: multi billion dollar business. No one's offended by that classic 108 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 2: Jeffrey Leury line. But ultimately, this place survives, and I 109 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,239 Speaker 2: think we're a year away if the Eagles dominate again 110 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 2: and they win. Like if the Eagles were winning six 111 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 2: seven games, no one would care, this would not be 112 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 2: a talking point. But they've been to two of the 113 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 2: last three Super Bowls and they just beat the shit 114 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 2: out of the Chiefs, and if they do it again, 115 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 2: if they go back to back and beat the crap 116 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 2: at everybody, And this play is obviously a huge part 117 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 2: of their arsenal because when they get down to the 118 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 2: goal line, they are scoring a touchdown. When they get 119 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 2: in a short yarded situation, they are moving the chains. 120 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 2: It's basically automatic and it will go away. But as 121 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 2: of right now, they get to use it another year. 122 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 2: And listen, the Eagles are obviously going to be one 123 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 2: of the heavy favorites to win the Super Bowl and 124 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: be a dominant team and be a playoff team and 125 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 2: probably win the division. So it's this story is not 126 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 2: going to go away, but the Eagles and use it, 127 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 2: utilizing Jason Kelcey, which Jed York tweeted about, like I 128 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 2: owe the guy a beer. You know, Listen, there are 129 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 2: certain guys that just can own a room and their passion, 130 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 2: their ability to connect, and they're just likable, like certain 131 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 2: human beings just resonate with other people because they are 132 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 2: just likable people. And Jason has always been one of 133 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 2: those guys, Like he could go into a room with anybody. 134 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 2: I mean, it's honestly the power of that individual. That's 135 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 2: why he him and his brother created a podcast with 136 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 2: like two years later it's worth one hundred million dollars. 137 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 2: You could put Jason in a room, you know, it's 138 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 2: some dive bar in some blue collar town with a 139 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 2: bunch of dudes making thirty forty thousand dollars a year, 140 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 2: and he would get along with them perfectly. You can 141 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 2: put him in a room with a bunch of guys 142 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 2: that are worth ten and eleven figures and have teams 143 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 2: worth five to ten billion dollars and they can have 144 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 2: normal conversations with them. It's just a skill that man possesses. 145 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 2: It's why you know, you typically the guys that communicate 146 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 2: in sports, whether it's a point guard, whether it's a 147 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 2: quarterback obviously the center, Like they usually can communicate well 148 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 2: with a lot of different people. And Kelsey's ability to 149 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 2: go in that room, like the Eagles aren't dumb, right, 150 00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 2: a pretty smart organization. I don't think, I mean case scenario, 151 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 2: it went as well as it did bringing him in 152 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 2: because let's face it, like, and I don't blame it. 153 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 2: We're all selfish. I say it all the time people 154 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 2: in One thing I've talked to Maria a lot about 155 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 2: since we've been dating, is like sometimes she gets really 156 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 2: caught up when you know things in business don't go away. 157 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 2: It's like people are selfish. So when you go into 158 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 2: the mindset, not trying to fuck the other person, but 159 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 2: just realize, like at the end of the day, they 160 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 2: will make a decision with themselves their family first. That's 161 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 2: never gonna change. And it's never really changed. And I 162 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 2: think the Eagles were selfish on this. They don't want 163 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 2: to lose the play. I don't blame them, and I 164 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 2: bet there were a lot of people in the room 165 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 2: who are kind of like whatever, like I keep it great, 166 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 2: like me and bringing Jason kelcey in clearly. I think 167 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 2: Florio reported on it. It swung several teams like the Browns, 168 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 2: the Lions, Like it's a big deal. I mean, twenty 169 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 2: two to ten pretty close. I mean, you're just two 170 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 2: votes away from this thing going bye bye. So I 171 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 2: do feel pretty confident if the Eagles win again. Honestly, 172 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 2: they don't even need to win the Super Bowl. If 173 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,599 Speaker 2: they just have a twelve or thirteen win season and 174 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 2: they're deep in the playoffs, this conversation is not going 175 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,959 Speaker 2: to stop. And the Packers admitted, like the NFL use 176 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 2: them as a guinea pick. The Packers did not care. Again, 177 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 2: the Packers like most of us like whatever, Like yeah, 178 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 2: the play is kind of boring, we know the outcome, 179 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 2: but like it's their advantage. The NFL utilized them to 180 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 2: be at the forefront of like get rid of this thing, 181 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 2: and people within the Packers like, yeah, it wasn't that 182 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 2: big a deal to us, Like we actually kind of 183 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 2: respect it. So the NFL will do that again next 184 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 2: year because if this play is the conversation about it, 185 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 2: you could argue has only gotten bigger. So congrats the 186 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 2: Eagles fans. You got a pitch that you can continue 187 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 2: to use and it's very very effective. So I would 188 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 2: expect Jalen Hurts and those guys to get some extra 189 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 2: touchdowns because of this play, because that's what they always do. Okay, 190 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 2: rock Party. I was thinking about this because listen, when 191 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 2: a story breaks, I mean part of the business. I'm 192 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 2: in one huge advantage a little inside baseball here that 193 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 2: I have over Let's say I had a three hour 194 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 2: radio show. Is news breaks on anything, I can immediately 195 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 2: do a YouTube video and then repurpose that and put 196 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 2: it on my podcast feed the moment the news breaks. 197 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 2: It could be at midnight, it could be at seven 198 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,359 Speaker 2: in the morning, it could be at three in the afternoon, 199 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 2: where historically, like if you have a radio show, well, 200 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 2: if your show's from three to six, if the news 201 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 2: breaks after that show, nothing you can do till the 202 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 2: following day. And it's a huge advantage we have here. 203 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 2: So obviously NFL news in some of these stories, especially 204 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 2: in the off season, are just a must to have 205 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,599 Speaker 2: an instant reaction. And the other day, I guess it 206 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 2: would have been Friday, I was literally walking out the 207 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 2: doors like three in the afternoon to meet my buddy 208 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 2: Jeffong and a couple other buddies and go play like 209 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 2: nine holes and have a couple of cocktails. It's Friday afternoon, 210 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 2: enjoy some sun. And the news breaks and we were 211 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 2: teeing off in like thirty minutes. I'm like, listen, I'm 212 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 2: gonna be a little late. I gotta give a reaction 213 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 2: to brock perty and Schefter's tweet is he got five years, 214 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,719 Speaker 2: two hundred and sixty five million dollars, and then ten 215 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 2: five minutes later it comes out a little more detail, 216 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty eight million dollars guaranteed. But NFL 217 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 2: contracts are not like I mean, one of the biggest 218 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 2: conversations going on right now in baseball. Do the Mets 219 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 2: regret Wan Soda because the moment they pay Wan Sodo 220 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 2: just like all these baseball contracts, I'm giving you five six, 221 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,559 Speaker 2: seven hundred million dollars. We don't need to go. Let's 222 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 2: wait for the details. Let's see if there are injury guarantees, 223 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 2: if there are offsets, if there are dates in the 224 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 2: off season. No, every fucking penny is guaranteed. I mean, 225 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 2: we've seen it in the NBA forever. It's like, wait, 226 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 2: they just okay, who two hundred million dollars. It's like 227 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 2: that is insane. And all these contracts in baseball and 228 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 2: basketball are guaranteed, and in baseball a lot of the time, 229 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 2: it's like he signed a five hundred million dollar contract 230 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,319 Speaker 2: and he can opt out every couple of years, where 231 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 2: it's the complete opposite in the NFL, and it's always 232 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 2: been the push like guaranteed money. That's not the way 233 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 2: we run our business because we have way more players 234 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 2: and the injury risk here that would be a disaster. 235 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 2: And do you know who benefits the most from the 236 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 2: non guaranteed money, Because when Perty's contract came out, Flourio 237 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 2: on Pro Football Talk did a breakdown. It's actually the 238 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 2: moment he signs the contract one hundred and fifteen million dollars. 239 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 2: To put that into context, Jalen Green, who most people 240 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 2: around the NBA thinks like a backup, got one hundred 241 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 2: and four million dollars last offseason. So Perty, like, listen, 242 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 2: there's injury guarantees and some other stuff, but truly the 243 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 2: money guaranteed the moment he signed the contract at a 244 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,719 Speaker 2: franchise worth eight point six billion dollars and he's the 245 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 2: starting quarterback, got one hundred and fifteen million dollars guarantee 246 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 2: and a forty million dollars signing bonus. So I think 247 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 2: sometimes like the NFL takes a lot of flak and 248 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 2: they run their business completely different than these other sports. 249 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 2: It's the reason their sport is the most healthy because 250 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 2: they can pivot out of things like if this brock 251 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 2: Purty situation, I think it's gonna go well. I think 252 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,559 Speaker 2: brock Purty is a good player, and watching him talk today, Listen, 253 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 2: this comparison isn't apples to apples because the other guy's 254 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 2: one of the best players I've ever seen. But he 255 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 2: reminds me a lot the way he cut and conducts himself, 256 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,839 Speaker 2: the way he acts, the way he talks like Scotti Scheffler. Now, 257 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 2: Scotty Scheffler is gonna go down as one of the 258 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 2: greatest players ever. Obviously, brock Purty is not as good 259 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 2: at his sport as Scotty Scheffler is at his sport. 260 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 2: But just he's one of those guys completely unfazed by money, 261 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 2: will will not be impacted one iota, absolutely zero. Now 262 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 2: is he good enough? Especially the way we're gonna talk 263 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 2: about him now, we're gonna find out in the next 264 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 2: couple of years. But if he's not and this is 265 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 2: a problem and he either regresses or he gets exposed 266 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 2: or whatever, which again I don't think is gonna be 267 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 2: the case, the forty nine ers in that after the 268 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 2: twenty twenty six season can get out of this thing. 269 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,359 Speaker 2: And that's why the league's healthy, because most of these contracts, 270 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 2: even these crazy quarterback contracts, are like three year deals 271 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 2: where we see in these other sports, these albatross contracts 272 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 2: that you just can't move. It's like, this is a 273 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 2: do you know who get screwed? The fans, the consumers, 274 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 2: and there is not a business model that is more 275 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 2: consumer friendly than this one. Now, if perty is just solid, 276 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 2: he's gonna see all this money. It's let's use car 277 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 2: as the example. Derek Carr actually gave back some money 278 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 2: this year, but will have made over two hundred million 279 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 2: dollars guaranteed in his career. Why because he was good 280 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 2: enough to just keep being the starter for year after year, 281 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 2: year after year after year. And that's most of these guys, right, 282 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 2: So I would expect him to be solid and him 283 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 2: to make a lot of this money. But you always 284 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 2: have the out if it's a problem and I think 285 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 2: that is the healthiest thing that the NFL does is 286 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 2: does not tie themselves to this crazy guaranteed money that 287 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 2: these former players are like, we are getting screwed. Well, 288 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 2: you're actually getting highly compensated, but we're taking a huge 289 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 2: risk because you can get injured at any moment. So 290 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 2: it's like if we did these other contracts like baseball 291 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 2: or like basketball, you would be unable to get rid 292 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 2: of any of these guys and the fan would get 293 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 2: royally screwed. Okay, a couple other things in the NFL. 294 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 2: This just made me laugh. You know, today, I guess 295 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 2: Caleb Williams refused to talk to the media, and unlike Rory, 296 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 2: who did this last week, I twenty one, twenty two, 297 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 2: you're in this story that has to do with something 298 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 2: that's happened eighteen months ago. Some of it involves your dad, 299 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 2: Like like what am I I'm on this team? What 300 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 2: am I gonna say if I was his age younger guy? 301 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 2: Like if it was an older player, And you know, 302 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 2: there was some story like this, like you gotta face 303 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 2: the music. I give the guy a little grace. But 304 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 2: Ben Johnson came out today and said it's come to 305 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 2: my attention that over this past week our quarterback has 306 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 2: been in the media, not saying like Caleb as but 307 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 2: just that this has been a big story. I love 308 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 2: it when like a Green, a new, young, kind of 309 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 2: hot shot coach, tries to come out with a lot 310 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 2: like this. Ben, It's come to your attention. You live 311 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 2: in fucking Chicago. Hell, you were on Collins show last 312 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 2: week and he asked you about it. It's come to 313 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 2: your attention. No, it's just the story. Is the story now. 314 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 2: If you want to respond as he did and say, listen, 315 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 2: I haven't been here my only experience, that's fine. I 316 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 2: got no problem with that. But when you start and 317 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 2: open up with a cheesy line, it just made me laugh. 318 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 2: It's come to your attention? Do you think that story 319 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 2: for a guy this is the head coach of the 320 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 2: Bears who's living in Chicago local TV. Listen, I'm not 321 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 2: even that big of like a local TV guy, But 322 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,159 Speaker 2: when you live somewhere, it's inevitable that you end up 323 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 2: like especially if you're just watching a basketball game and 324 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 2: it's on ABC that ends all of a sudden, You're 325 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 2: watching the local news and you just see some stories. 326 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 2: It is for him to downplay like it's just kind 327 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,199 Speaker 2: of floating out there. My media pr guy gave me 328 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 2: his story just made me chuckle. I just I love 329 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 2: a good kind of like cheesy, nerdy response to something 330 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 2: that is a complete lie. Cam Ward signed his contract. 331 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 2: I think if you're a Titans fan, you gotta be 332 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 2: pretty excited. Hope is a powerful thing, man. Belief is 333 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 2: a powerful thing, you know. Sometimes you see like I 334 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 2: was listening to Bill Simmons and he did like this thing, 335 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 2: like should uh some of these fake NBA trades, and 336 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 2: some of them include, you know, the number one overall 337 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 2: pick with the Dallas Mavericks with Koop listen, Cooper Flag 338 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 2: might be the next Andrew Locker paid Manning. He also 339 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 2: could just be like a solid starting quarterback. Right you 340 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 2: have no clue what you're getting. You think like it's 341 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 2: it's probably gonna go well, and I more than likely 342 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 2: he'll be an All Star. But there's no guarantee. But 343 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 2: the hope of no different with Arch Manning no different 344 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 2: when Caleb was drafted. The hope of what could be 345 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 2: is more powerful than already knowing. And when you see 346 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 2: guys that like in the NFL, because if I went, hey, Tennessee. 347 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 2: Cam Ward is gonna be like Kyle. Let's just let's 348 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 2: say I threw this out. He's gonna be like Kyler 349 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 2: Murray meets Kirk Cousins. He like, it's like what if 350 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 2: I went, like, you know, he's gonna have a He's 351 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 2: gonna be like eighty percent of Patrick Mahomes. Sounds a 352 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 2: lot better. And whenever you have a situation like last 353 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 2: year and you had to witness Will Levis in the 354 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,479 Speaker 2: quarterback position, couldn't have been any worse. It's just it's 355 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 2: pretty refreshing. And listen, I didn't know that much about 356 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 2: cam Ward, but watching some of his comments, I want 357 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 2: a couple guys with the Titans. They are very, very 358 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,919 Speaker 2: bullish on this human And that's the thing. Back to 359 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 2: Purty and listen, a lot of the guys that aren't 360 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 2: Mahomes or Josh Allen Lamar, who are all high character, 361 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 2: elite guys. But the way you become like seven through twelve, 362 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 2: typically you got to be a high level cat from 363 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 2: a work ethic standpoint, from a film study standpoint, from 364 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 2: a recovery standpoint. Like most of the guys in that 365 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 2: next tier, you know the Jared Goffs. The Jalen Hurts 366 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 2: is you know purty first first couple of years, you 367 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 2: just kind of go, like Dak Prescott when he's healthy, 368 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 2: it's like usually checking all the boxes off the field. 369 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 2: It's pretty rare. It's like, yeah, this guy's kind of 370 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,679 Speaker 2: a douche, doesn't really work that hard, but you know 371 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 2: he's seventh best quarterback in the NFL. Usually not how 372 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 2: it works. So if I was a Titans fan, I'd 373 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 2: be pretty pretty excited. And last, but not least, this one. 374 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 2: If listen, it's tough spot for John Spytech. You know, 375 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 2: Pete Carroll's in charge of hiring his coaches and hire 376 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 2: Chip Kelly, who that he got. Chip Kelly's making some 377 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 2: serious cash now just being an assistant coach. I mean, 378 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 2: talk about a guy just went full mercenary cashing them checks, 379 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 2: got the Raiders to give him three years eighteen million 380 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 2: dollars to be the offensive coordinator. And Ashton Genty, who 381 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 2: has anyone that watched him play? You know, if you 382 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 2: watch a lot of running backs right the way they're 383 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 2: standing behind the quarterback, they're in like an athletic position. 384 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 2: They are ready to explode. And then there are certain guys. 385 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 2: I think Derrick Henry's a little like this, but Ashton 386 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 2: Genty is literally just standing there. He's just like standing. 387 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 2: He's like a wrecked right, straight up and down. No, 388 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 2: no athletic posture, Like the first thing they teach you, 389 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 2: like if you're playing infield in Little league is like 390 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 2: bend your knees, get down right, you know, have a 391 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 2: good like little shoulder witch stance. Athletic no different than 392 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 2: you play like seventh grade or sixth grade basketball, right, 393 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 2: open your feet, bend, be able to be an athletic position. 394 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 2: That is not how Ashton Genty is as a as 395 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 2: a running back. Yet it created from Boise State, a 396 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 2: top six pick, right, and the first thing Chip Kelly 397 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 2: does is change his stance, and Ashton Genzy's like, you know, 398 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 2: super high character, good guy. Kind of felt like gave in, 399 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,199 Speaker 2: but it wasn't something that I you know, this is 400 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 2: a weird situation. My take would be, as a front 401 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 2: office GM, can we just let him do what made 402 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 2: him be until we have to change it? Like, should 403 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 2: this be something that we change immediately? My pushback would 404 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 2: be no, If we like him enough to draft him 405 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 2: six overall, could we just leave him standing there in 406 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,199 Speaker 2: the backfield literally before the ball is snapped, just unfazed 407 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 2: before that becomes a problem. So that that would be 408 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 2: I'm not trying to be a Raider hater. I'm pro Listen, 409 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 2: people think I was anti Ashton Genty. He's an excellent player, 410 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 2: He's a special prospect. I'm not disagreeing. I just the 411 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 2: running back value. Drafting guys, we can argue that till 412 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 2: we're blue in the face. But if I'm going to 413 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 2: draft him, I'm gonna let the fucking guy be him, 414 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 2: not change his stance the first thing I do. So 415 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 2: uh yeah, Chip Kelly has made ash Genty change the 416 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 2: way that he lines up. So yeah, the NBA Finals 417 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 2: are almost here and every play could be the one 418 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 2: that changes everything.

Let's start with Will had a 455 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 2: couple of cocktails the other night and would like to 456 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 2: reward my question. He'd asked the question and they rewarded. 457 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 2: It happened to us all been there, buddy. If you're 458 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 2: in the dogshit franchise category and need to turn things around, 459 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 2: how do you balance taking swings at quarterback with building 460 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 2: the team if you truly believe the team is a 461 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 2: quarterback away? Can you blame the Falcons Jets Broncos two 462 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 2: years ago for betting on one player that flips your 463 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 2: franchise around. Being in a rebuilding purgatory seems worse, obviously, 464 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 2: paying Kirk ninety million guaranteed is reaching. But if you 465 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,360 Speaker 2: roll out another quarterback for a whole season, you will 466 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,479 Speaker 2: lose fans and remain irrelevant. We don't have diehard fans 467 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 2: like other franchises. The Falcons have had one top five 468 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 2: draft positions since twenty nineteen two thousand and nine, Matt 469 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 2: Ryan third overall and eight, So they can't just bet 470 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 2: on getting their franchise quarterback from the draft. What would 471 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,360 Speaker 2: you do differently, I'm not acting like finding your franchise 472 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 2: quarterback is easy. It's not like you said you typically 473 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 2: even if you draft high, we know how often you miss. 474 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 2: I supported what the Denver Broncos did when they traded 475 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 2: for Russell Wilson blew up in their face. You know, 476 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 2: when they traded for Aaron Rodgers. He was much older 477 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 2: than Russell, so there was risk involved. But like, I 478 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 2: totally understood those two trades. But drafting a guy high, 479 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 2: Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, justin Field doesn't guarantee anything. So 480 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 2: I hear you. I'm not talking about the whole philosophy 481 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 2: of like now we can argue like are we playing 482 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 2: Monday Morning Quarterback? About Kyle Pitts probably little, So I'm 483 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 2: not gonna argue about that draft pick in general, but 484 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 2: just the Kirk Cousins move. He was thirty six years 485 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 2: old coming off of torn Achilles, and he's an awful athlete, 486 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 2: so there was a ton of risk involved there. Now 487 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 2: ultimately says Arthur Blank's money. But I think on that 488 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 2: specific move where I have an issue with it is 489 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 2: if you loved Michael Pennix, which clearly they did, the 490 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 2: GM and his coach, he should have had those guys 491 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 2: be all over comparing Michael Pennix knowing they're drafting eighth. 492 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 2: You know when did Raheem get the job in January? 493 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 2: So once agains the offensive coordinator, that should have been 494 00:26:55,800 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 2: their main priority of comparing Pennix to Cousins in I 495 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 2: don't know all of February at least mid to late 496 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 2: February and early March before you made that decision, So 497 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 2: to me, it felt very like a haphazard like they're 498 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 2: just kind of yeah, like no direction. So I that's 499 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 2: my issue with that individual move. Big picture, I hear 500 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 2: what you're saying. I don't disagree that it's difficult, but 501 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 2: they had the eighth overall pick and then they fell 502 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 2: in love with Michael Pennix. But they had just given 503 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 2: all this money when they needed a bunch of help 504 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 2: on defense, and they had ninety million dollars to give, 505 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 2: you could have got a couple guys for like forty 506 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 2: five million dollars each. That's my issue there with that 507 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 2: specific thing. Now, over the course, there's probably other situation, 508 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 2: like individual situations, but I'm I'm not even talking about that. 509 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 2: My issue with Desmond Ridder is didn't they draft them 510 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 2: in the third round. Let me just I just want 511 00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 2: to get my facts straight here. Desmond Ridder was drafted 512 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 2: did in the third round, seventy fourth pick, So that's 513 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 2: a pretty good pick. If you watched him in that 514 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 2: Bowl game. I forget who they played, but they they Yeah, 515 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 2: they went thirteen to zero and they played Oh yeah 516 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 2: they played Alabama. I get Alabama's a better team, but 517 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 2: it was like watching like what are we doing here? 518 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 2: This is not He felt completely overwhelmed physically just to 519 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 2: make basic throws. I remember watching that because Cincinnati Sauce 520 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 2: Gardner that team was stacked running back. Forget what team 521 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 2: he's on, but he's a good player. I mean, they 522 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 2: got they had a bunch of NFL dudes and they 523 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 2: ran the table with Fickle. They were legit. And then 524 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 2: I remember thinking like, oh, thatsman, Rare is good because 525 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 2: he had had a big season. He had thirty and 526 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 2: eight sixty five percent, like he was really good that year. 527 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 2: But I remember watching that Alabama game going, oh, man, 528 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know about this, and they 529 00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 2: still drafted him the third round. Ever since the playoffs 530 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 2: have been restructured to have seven teams from each conference, 531 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 2: there has always been one division with three playoff teams 532 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 2: In this upcoming season, do you believe this trend will 533 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 2: continue where three teams from the same division make it 534 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 2: to the playoffs. Below is a list of the divisions 535 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 2: who have had three playoff teams in the past five years. 536 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 2: Twenty one NFC West, twenty two NFC East, twenty three 537 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 2: AFC North. Last year, the AFC West and the NFC North. Yeah, 538 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 2: I would think the AFC West has a pretty good chance. Again, 539 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 2: I would you know, you're basically a lock to have 540 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 2: two teams. Who's the biggest lock to have two teams? 541 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 2: You would say the NFC East with the Eagles in Washington, 542 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 2: feel like a lock. The AFC West between the Chiefs, 543 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 2: Chargers and Broncos feel like a lock. The AFC North 544 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 2: feels like a lock right between some rotation. I mean, 545 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 2: the Ravens are in, the Steelers make it a lot, 546 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 2: and the Bengals hard for them to mit. You could 547 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 2: say the North, it just seems like, yeah, it's gonna happen. 548 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 2: Curious what type of season it would take from Hunter 549 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 2: for Gladstone and the Jags to look like geniuses. Well, 550 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 2: in fairness to Gladstone and Travis Hunter, you draft a 551 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 2: guy and you trade a future first round pick to 552 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 2: move up from five to two. You don't determine your career, 553 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,479 Speaker 2: as I almost said a freshman as a rookie, like 554 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 2: he could have fifty catches and make some plays on defense. 555 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 2: People like oh solid, Like you don't get to make 556 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 2: a determination after one year, like Jalen Carter is a 557 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 2: lot more interesting after a second year than you first 558 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 2: year is interesting player. But I mean you watch them 559 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 2: after last year, so it's you can give them all 560 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 2: the time. You get a couple of years. You know 561 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 2: you now he could make him look like a genius 562 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 2: is immediately if he dominates, I mean if he catches 563 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 2: ten touchdowns and has a bunch of interceptions like he's 564 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 2: they're gonna look like geniuses and they win ten games 565 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 2: and make the playoffs and win the division. Yeah, I'll 566 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 2: look at a genius. But if it doesn't go perfectly, 567 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 2: you can't just basically, in sharpie say it was the 568 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 2: worst move of all time. I started watching football every 569 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:33,239 Speaker 2: week in nine when I started playing myself question, what 570 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 2: is the best roster or short lists of rosters you 571 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 2: ever saw that did not win a Super Bowl? For me, 572 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 2: it was the forty nine ers of eleven through thirteen. 573 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,479 Speaker 2: They just had the misfortune of running into Eli a 574 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 2: loaded raven squad in the Seahawks lob. It's a good question. 575 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 2: I think the best team I saw, and I was 576 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 2: going to a lot of games from like twenty ten. 577 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 2: The twenty seventeen eighteen range Niners team was pretty good, 578 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 2: but like you know, Alex had some flaws. In Kaepernick 579 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 2: while very explosive, I mean, in his prime an elite 580 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 2: runner and great you know, his fastball, pushing balls down 581 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 2: the field, but he didn't have great touch. So like 582 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 2: their quarterback play relative to some of these other teams 583 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 2: like that, that was a huge differential aiding factor is 584 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 2: like Russell was just a better player. Now, this team 585 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 2: won a super Bowl, But I think the best team 586 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 2: I saw was top to bottom was the Broncos with 587 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 2: Peyton Manning. Now, the team that won it with Peyton 588 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 2: Manning in whatever year that was sixteen, Peyton was a 589 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 2: shell of himself. But those first three years, i mean offensively, 590 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 2: defensively they were. It was stupid how good they were. 591 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, I don't see how many teams 592 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 2: during that era it didn't win. There were a couple 593 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 2: of Steeler teams they were pretty good. I mean the 594 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 2: heyday of Antonio Brown. You know, the Patriots own them, 595 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 2: but they played the Patriots. You know, the Steelers beat 596 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 2: the Chiefs I think in the second round in like sixteen. 597 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 2: Then they played the Patriots and Leveon injured is growing, 598 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 2: so it just wasn't really a game. But that those 599 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 2: teams were pretty good. I'm a lifelong Seahawks fan, and 600 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 2: while I have a ton of faith in Schneider, I 601 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 2: am confused on our quarterback round. I'm curious to hear 602 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 2: your take on what you think the plan is for 603 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 2: Milroe and Darnold, because I'm not sure Also, do you 604 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 2: think Schneider is a top five GM in the league 605 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 2: right now? If so, where in the top five, And 606 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 2: do you like the direction of the Seahawks are moving. 607 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 2: I think Jalen Milroe to them was like, I'm invested 608 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 2: in a couple of these right now. The stock let's 609 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 2: just I'm not going to give the exact stock, but 610 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 2: I'm down. I'm down, but this was a play I 611 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 2: continue to put my if this thing hits, like, I'm 612 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 2: betting on it being like a twenty exer, but there's 613 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,840 Speaker 2: a chance that I just lose I mean a substantial 614 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 2: amount of money. I'm not rich enough to where it's 615 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:15,240 Speaker 2: like I lose, you know, fifty grand just goes away. 616 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 2: I'd be I'd be I'd be pissed. But it's a 617 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 2: risk I feel value in taking right And I mean, 618 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 2: I'm actually closer to six figures in this thing. But 619 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,839 Speaker 2: it's just it's one of these things that could maybe 620 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 2: change the life of my future children and or maybe 621 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 2: it just goes belly up. And I think that's what 622 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:41,879 Speaker 2: Jalen Milroe is to the Seahawks, that it's like, if 623 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 2: it works best case scenario, we have a dynamic some 624 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 2: version of Lamar Jackson. I mean, that's that's and if 625 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 2: it doesn't like whatever, we gave a third rounder, but 626 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 2: like it could change our franchise. And Sam Donald, like 627 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 2: Jalen Milroe can't start Week one. Our plan is to 628 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,359 Speaker 2: win ten games and we get Sam Donald for' Bern 629 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 2: Gino smith who ARE oc knows and it gets us. 630 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:07,319 Speaker 2: Going so Drafting Jalen milroe really doesn't have that much 631 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 2: to do With Sam donald Because Jalen milroe can't start 632 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 2: right now And Sam donald can and you're trying to 633 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 2: make the. Playoffs and if next Year Jalen milroe takes 634 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 2: a huge, step maybe beats him out and you can 635 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 2: Trade Sam. Donald BUT i think it was a calculated. Risk, 636 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 2: listen do you ever just want to give away third round? 637 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 2: Picks of course. Not they Got Russell wilson once upon 638 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,799 Speaker 2: a time in the third. Round but, like if this thing, 639 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 2: hits it could change our. Franchise and that's you, KNOW 640 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 2: i think for those of us that like to gamble in, 641 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 2: investing to, me there's a lot of gambling in, Investing 642 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 2: LIKE i kind of like the rush of something like 643 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 2: this could be, big or this could blow up in my, 644 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 2: face you, know and that's what taking a guy Like Jalen. Milroe, 645 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 2: Now Anthony richson's a better example of like risking everything 646 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 2: you got at. Pick it's way, less like doesn't do 647 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 2: much if you, lose like a third round, pick he busts. 648 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 2: Whatever but that was the mindset behind. There AND i 649 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 2: think if all gms were available from scratch and there 650 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,239 Speaker 2: was a, DRAFT i Think John schneider would go in 651 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 2: the top. Five, YES i think he's a. Stud fan 652 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,320 Speaker 2: of the. Show i'm super excited for the flag Football 653 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 2: olympics team in twenty twenty. Eight curious to hear who 654 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 2: you would put on that. Roster the game isn't, Contact 655 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 2: so my thought Is Josh allen or some of these 656 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,239 Speaker 2: bigger bodied positional guys would have less impact in a 657 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 2: flag football. SETTING i Have Lamar, Jackson Saquon, Barkley Justin, 658 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 2: Jefferson Jamar, Chase ceedee Lamp, Brock, Bauers George. Kittle let's 659 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,399 Speaker 2: Get brady to show up at forty seven forty eight 660 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 2: and play on this. TEAM i think he would do. It, 661 00:36:55,719 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 2: UH i don't know If, SAQUON i don't. KNOW i 662 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,279 Speaker 2: don't really know that rules like are you handing the 663 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:07,319 Speaker 2: ball off in flag. FOOTBALL i, LISTEN i could be, 664 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,960 Speaker 2: stupid but are? YOU i don't think you. Are to. 665 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 2: Me Like Jamiir, Gibbs saquan's hands like the one downfall Of, 666 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 2: saquon and downfall is the wrong way to describe. It 667 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,839 Speaker 2: the ONE i would say somewhat of a liability for 668 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,400 Speaker 2: just an all around elite. Players i'd Say saquon's hands are. 669 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:33,319 Speaker 2: Average they're not, bad but they're Not marshall falk OR 670 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:37,320 Speaker 2: lt Or christian. McCaffrey i would Go gibbs there BECAUSE 671 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 2: i think you're throwing a lot of like wheel. Routes 672 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 2: SO i don't Think saquon would be the. GUY i, 673 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 2: mean you could pick a million. Receivers there is no 674 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:51,840 Speaker 2: receiver ON usa flag football who is better THAN i 675 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:55,920 Speaker 2: mean one HUNDRED nfl wide. Receivers so obviously you Go, 676 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,040 Speaker 2: Jefferson Chase, lamb LIKE i think you could go like 677 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,920 Speaker 2: ran them, Dudes like you could take a guy from The. 678 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 2: Jags you could take a guy from The you take 679 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 2: whoever you want. It jacks Have Brian, thomas like you 680 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 2: could take. Whoever they would. DOMINATE i Think Kyler murray 681 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 2: would be the greatest flag football. Player. EVER i mean, 682 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 2: ever because he's got a stronger arm Than. LAMAR i 683 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 2: just feel Like Kyler. MURRAY i don't know WHEN i 684 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 2: think flag football even more Than, lamar And lamar is 685 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,759 Speaker 2: like one of the greatest athletes of all. TIME i 686 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:36,400 Speaker 2: feel Like kyler'd be my number one. Pick kind of 687 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,640 Speaker 2: a wild, idea but what if teams put a power 688 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,280 Speaker 2: back at quarterback when they ran the toush. Push teams 689 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:42,919 Speaker 2: know it's, coming and The eagles do it and still 690 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 2: can't stop. IT i understand that running backs are a 691 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:48,279 Speaker 2: bit smaller in terms of, height that might not, work 692 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,560 Speaker 2: but someone Like Derrick henry under center would be. Unstoppable 693 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 2: he's an. Anomaly but even if you had a powerback 694 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,319 Speaker 2: who's five to ten or, so like a pre Injury Nick, 695 00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 2: CHUBB i think you can stay. Low i'm sure they're 696 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,240 Speaker 2: factors like taking snaps under center that could be. RISKY 697 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,359 Speaker 2: i think that's a big. Thing you, know we talk 698 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 2: about this a lot with a. Quarterback the, quarterbacks the 699 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 2: center quarterback exchange is like the most fundamental part of just. 700 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:18,920 Speaker 2: OFFENSE i, mean the offense cannot operate if you can't 701 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:22,359 Speaker 2: get lined up and the ball. SNAPPED i do think 702 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:27,320 Speaker 2: snapping the, ball those guys make it look a little 703 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 2: easier than like IF i just put my running back 704 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 2: down there and IF i, fumble if it's a tie. Game, 705 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 2: right let's say it's twenty to twenty and you do 706 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 2: what you're, doing And COACH x rolls out his running. 707 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,960 Speaker 2: Back twenty to twenty five minutes, left we're at the 708 00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,120 Speaker 2: fifty yard, line it's fourth and. One i'm, Like i'm not. 709 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,080 Speaker 2: Punning i'm playing to win the game right. NOW i 710 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 2: roll up my running back to Do Jalen hurts and 711 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 2: the center quarterback, exchange it fumbles and their defensive tackle 712 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,200 Speaker 2: falls on, it and they drive and win the. Game 713 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:05,319 Speaker 2: your coach would get. Destroyed SO i hear what you're. 714 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 2: Saying it is that exchange is not as easy AS 715 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 2: i think the way we just act like it. Is 716 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:18,160 Speaker 2: anyone that's ever been to a college, practice even a 717 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,640 Speaker 2: high level high school, practice like you spend time just 718 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,879 Speaker 2: working on that exchange while the running back's doing other. 719 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,480 Speaker 2: Stuff so it's you only get so much time on 720 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:26,880 Speaker 2: the practice. 721 00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 4: Field Blending vice's signature dynamic storytelling with the high octane 722 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,520 Speaker 4: world of, Sports Vice sports brings an exciting and diverse 723 00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,240 Speaker 4: range of programming that goes beyond the, game from action 724 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,560 Speaker 4: packed live events to gripping behind the scenes documentaries to 725 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:46,120 Speaker 4: hard hitting investigative pieces and in depth profiles of, athletes, coaches. 726 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:50,240 Speaker 4: Teams Vice sports captures the raw, energy, drama and passion 727 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,919 Speaker 4: that makes sports truly.

McNabb you, 757 00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,359 Speaker 2: know Until Terrell owens got, there they did not have 758 00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 2: a bunch of high named wide. Receivers they were a great, 759 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,480 Speaker 2: defense they had good running, backs and they had a 760 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:50,920 Speaker 2: good offensive. Line, obviously your offensive line needs to be. 761 00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,920 Speaker 2: Better but what do you Think Andy reid is at his? 762 00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:58,160 Speaker 2: Core he's an offensive lineman gonna be. FINE i would 763 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 2: not bet against The. Chiefs wanted to get your thoughts 764 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 2: on the T wolves In thunder. GAME i understand That 765 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,799 Speaker 2: sga is a, superstar AND i won't take that away 766 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,920 Speaker 2: from but even a non basketball player or casual basketball 767 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,960 Speaker 2: viewer can see that a lot of these calls for 768 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,600 Speaker 2: him were. Absurd in my, opinion it's looking worse Than 769 00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:20,239 Speaker 2: harden was. Getting what are your, Thoughts, well your boy 770 00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,520 Speaker 2: might have Made i'd say the biggest Bet i've made 771 00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:26,040 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty. FIVE i had forty five hundred dollars 772 00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:30,840 Speaker 2: in my account because of THE Pga. Championship now that 773 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,240 Speaker 2: wasn't technically. Winnings it was just like getting my money, 774 00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,280 Speaker 2: back and, SOME i mean some of it was previous, 775 00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:38,560 Speaker 2: winnings AND i basically just rolled that over with the 776 00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:40,719 Speaker 2: nextra five hundred dollars and put five g's on The 777 00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,480 Speaker 2: thunder or excuse, me on the T wolves to win 778 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,160 Speaker 2: because they were plus two seventy to win the. Series 779 00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:50,080 Speaker 2: obviously The thunder are, good but my overall take is 780 00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,799 Speaker 2: sixty eight wins is the Greatest fugazi number in the 781 00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,880 Speaker 2: history of professional. Sports and that's not a shot at The, 782 00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,319 Speaker 2: thunder it's a shot at the people they. PLAYED a 783 00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:03,520 Speaker 2: third of the league tanked all season. Long another five 784 00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,080 Speaker 2: teams you can add to that list after Like, christmas 785 00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,320 Speaker 2: and then even the good teams take ten to twenty 786 00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:14,399 Speaker 2: games off a. Year so it's, like if you try really, 787 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,799 Speaker 2: HARD i saw this when The warriors won twenty three 788 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:21,040 Speaker 2: OR i won seventy three in two thousand and, sixty, fifteen, 789 00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,160 Speaker 2: sixteen whatever year that was the year Before durant got. 790 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,640 Speaker 2: THERE a huge part of their success they tried every. 791 00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,760 Speaker 2: Night and in the, league if you are, young hungry 792 00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:34,719 Speaker 2: and try every night and you're, talented you're gonna win 793 00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:40,960 Speaker 2: at minimum. Sixty and so it's, like listen to The thunder are, 794 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:44,960 Speaker 2: good but after watching them against The, nuggets ain't the 795 00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:48,879 Speaker 2: fucking Fifteen. WARRIORS i didn't think so plus two, Seventy i'm, 796 00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,600 Speaker 2: Like i'm hammermering The, Wolves LIKE i Get, shay he's 797 00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,960 Speaker 2: gonna win THE, mvp but, like why Couldn't ant be 798 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,480 Speaker 2: the best player in the.

DISCUSSION i feel you, there, buddy gotta love. 846 00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,080 Speaker 2: It my question for you today is do you Think 847 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:30,960 Speaker 2: Lamar jackson can be considered a top ten quarterback of 848 00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,319 Speaker 2: all time if he wins at least One Super bowl 849 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:38,400 Speaker 2: and one MORE. Mvp aside from him his improved throwing 850 00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,719 Speaker 2: ability over the, years and he's the best rushing quarterback, 851 00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:45,960 Speaker 2: EVER i think he would make a valid argument talent. 852 00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,480 Speaker 2: WISE i can't put too many guys over. HIM i 853 00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,920 Speaker 2: can't admit he's yet to get over the playoff. Hunt 854 00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,279 Speaker 2: But peyton was the same way and didn't win one 855 00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:56,400 Speaker 2: until he was. Thirty by the, way one of my 856 00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,799 Speaker 2: friends bet me one thousand dollars That lamar will never 857 00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,480 Speaker 2: win The Super, bowl not contingent on the fact that 858 00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:04,880 Speaker 2: he can Ring chase later in his. Career if he 859 00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:07,200 Speaker 2: doesn't win one In, BALTIMORE i think he has three 860 00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:10,080 Speaker 2: to five. Years what he plays for one of the 861 00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:12,799 Speaker 2: best organizations in the, league so his team's always going 862 00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:16,480 Speaker 2: to be, good and it just like going into this, 863 00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:18,560 Speaker 2: SEASON i think they're clearly one of the best teams 864 00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:21,600 Speaker 2: in the, league and he's obviously a huge part of. 865 00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:24,840 Speaker 2: That and when the season, STARTS i, mean they're on 866 00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:26,879 Speaker 2: the short list of four or five teams that can 867 00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,520 Speaker 2: do you feel confident going The ravens can win The Super. 868 00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 2: Bowl but he's got to. Play you, Know he's now 869 00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,960 Speaker 2: had back to back years of just an atrocious interception 870 00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,720 Speaker 2: in the. Playoffs and one of the things with playoff 871 00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:43,640 Speaker 2: football is, like we don't need the sexy stuff all the, 872 00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:45,920 Speaker 2: time and he gets he does that during the regular. 873 00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:49,680 Speaker 2: SEASON i, MEAN i would say one of the best 874 00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:51,600 Speaker 2: Players i've ever seen him make was one of the 875 00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,960 Speaker 2: games against The bengals where he ran back and, forth 876 00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:57,520 Speaker 2: did like a three to sixty and ended up throwing a. 877 00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,200 Speaker 2: Touchdown it's one of the greatest plays he's ever. MADE i, 878 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,439 Speaker 2: mean his highlight plays in the regular. SEASON i bet 879 00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,960 Speaker 2: when his career, ends you could put his highlight plays 880 00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,960 Speaker 2: up there with anyone in the history. League the playoffs 881 00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,239 Speaker 2: is more about like playing, smart not turning the ball 882 00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:14,360 Speaker 2: over and getting first, downs AND i think that's what 883 00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:19,279 Speaker 2: they gotta. Do play smart, football no. Turnovers you could 884 00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:22,760 Speaker 2: argue the fumble against The bills where he like tripped 885 00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:24,400 Speaker 2: and he put the ball down and it kind of 886 00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:29,600 Speaker 2: hit freakish. Play the interceptions cannot, happen not in those, 887 00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:31,400 Speaker 2: games because you're going to be in a game that 888 00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,080 Speaker 2: it's going to be determined by probably less than a. 889 00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,480 Speaker 2: Touchdown so IF i give you an interception and that 890 00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,919 Speaker 2: turns into three or worst case scenario, seven that could 891 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:44,400 Speaker 2: be a ten to fourteen point. Swing SO i Believe 892 00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,480 Speaker 2: Lamar jackson is good enough to win A Super. BOWL 893 00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:47,960 Speaker 2: i would not have said that three or four years. 894 00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:53,520 Speaker 2: Ago but he has to, translate you, know part of 895 00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:58,160 Speaker 2: LIKE i think we use the basketball, analogy like why 896 00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:01,279 Speaker 2: Does James harden have so much problems the? Playoffs it's 897 00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:03,200 Speaker 2: because all the shit he's doing in the regular, season 898 00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:06,600 Speaker 2: like no one. Cares it's about playing smart basketball in 899 00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,719 Speaker 2: a playoff, series especially in a game, five six and. 900 00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,960 Speaker 2: Seven you, know like we don't need fifty points at. 901 00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:16,920 Speaker 2: Anybody we see like twenty four in playing under control 902 00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:20,000 Speaker 2: and playing smart and sometimes like he kind of gets 903 00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,040 Speaker 2: lost in no man's land and, LISTEN i Think Lamar 904 00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:25,600 Speaker 2: jackson's way better Than James harden at their individual. Sports 905 00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:29,880 Speaker 2: BUT i do think he's got to take Like Patrick 906 00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:32,440 Speaker 2: mahomes is really good at, that just playing like a smart. 907 00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:34,759 Speaker 2: Game we're just not gonna turn the ball. Over we're 908 00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:36,640 Speaker 2: not evenna score that many. Points But i'm gonna play 909 00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:41,879 Speaker 2: at a high level intelligence Like i'm gonna use The 910 00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,400 Speaker 2: i'm not gonna let you beat. Me i'm A bronco. 911 00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:51,839 Speaker 2: Fan we had a Green Law hufunga and the rookie From. 912 00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:55,440 Speaker 2: Texas on. Offense we had an absolute weapon In, harvey 913 00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:58,040 Speaker 2: who has A we had an absolute weapon In. Harvey 914 00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:00,680 Speaker 2: he was a sneaky great signing In. Ingram we were 915 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:05,480 Speaker 2: plus forty thousand to win The Super. Bowl so, basically 916 00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,239 Speaker 2: bete hundred win four. Thousand does that not seem like 917 00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:10,960 Speaker 2: a great value as a? Flyer bet the ceiling for 918 00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,360 Speaker 2: this defense could be on par with the fifteen defense 919 00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:17,840 Speaker 2: seems a little high to. ME i saw that. DEFENSE i, 920 00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:19,719 Speaker 2: mean they had Von miller in their. PRIME i Like, 921 00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:21,880 Speaker 2: benito but Von miller in his prime is one of 922 00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,040 Speaker 2: the greatest players in the history of the. League you 923 00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:28,640 Speaker 2: had where you Had, wolf you Had Malik, jackson you 924 00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:35,720 Speaker 2: had three elite corners in Teleeb Chris harrison the slot 925 00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:39,960 Speaker 2: and Young roby might not have been a, leap But 926 00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,719 Speaker 2: roby was pretty. Good you could hit back, then so 927 00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:48,080 Speaker 2: you HAD Tj. Ward who would you? Know, absolutely mollywop 928 00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:51,280 Speaker 2: You Brandon marshall was a good. Linebacker you Had. Travathan 929 00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:53,759 Speaker 2: that defense is as good as Defense i've ever seen 930 00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:58,560 Speaker 2: life that In seattle and The harbot nine ers were pretty. 931 00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:04,360 Speaker 2: Good BUT i think those defense or. Faster. MAYBE i, 932 00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:09,279 Speaker 2: mean you guys are. GOOD i wouldn't need a lot 933 00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,880 Speaker 2: out of Bow.

Value you guys are gonna be. 937 00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:27,680 Speaker 2: GOOD i think the fifteen defense though it feels like 938 00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:30,360 Speaker 2: a pretty Big, again this sport was, different so maybe. 939 00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:34,160 Speaker 2: Right what are your thoughts on THE nfl team owners 940 00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:37,120 Speaker 2: allowing one player per team to play flag football in 941 00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:39,640 Speaker 2: the Upcoming.

Since And andy's gone on to become a. 1067 01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:15,440 Speaker 2: Legend like you could The tomlin. Thing, now worst case 1068 01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:18,040 Speaker 2: scenario is like this with The saints And Sean. Payton 1069 01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:23,880 Speaker 2: BUT i think that's how the change. Happens last year 1070 01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:27,960 Speaker 2: was the opportunity blow the bitch, up Send tom on packing. 1071 01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:31,320 Speaker 2: Again WHEN i say, packing he'd have his ten teams 1072 01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:33,680 Speaker 2: will try to hire. Him he'd get a job immediately 1073 01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:36,560 Speaker 2: and go Hire Ben, johnson like that's your big. Swing 1074 01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:41,960 Speaker 2: but they won't do. That AND i Understand Mike, tomlin 1075 01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:43,760 Speaker 2: LIKE i DON'T i love being the coach of The. 1076 01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:46,880 Speaker 2: STEELERS i would too IF i was. Him Andy reid 1077 01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:49,280 Speaker 2: liked being the coach of The. Eagles that to me 1078 01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:51,840 Speaker 2: is the. Move i've been an avid listener since the 1079 01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:55,160 Speaker 2: summer of twenty. Three do you think the new kickoff will? 1080 01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:59,560 Speaker 2: Stick it seems, Overwhelming it seems overly, complicated and did 1081 01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:02,080 Speaker 2: not seem to impact the games last season as much 1082 01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:05,480 Speaker 2: as it was hyped to. Do, also name idea for 1083 01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:08,560 Speaker 2: people TO dm you who care enough to stick around 1084 01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:13,040 Speaker 2: instead Of? Kafia what about fourth? Downers your show is 1085 01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:17,680 Speaker 2: three and, out but the ones who stick around for fourth? Down? 1086 01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:20,080 Speaker 2: Anyways you know what's funny IS i get a lot 1087 01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:25,640 Speaker 2: of feedback that people like the, uh mailbags, sometimes especially 1088 01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:28,800 Speaker 2: in the off season when we're just like kind of 1089 01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:31,080 Speaker 2: pick topics that not much is going. On, this you, 1090 01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:33,440 Speaker 2: know this pays the bills, here we got a grind right? 1091 01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:35,760 Speaker 2: Now is this type of? STUFF i get a lot 1092 01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:38,040 Speaker 2: of feedback that people like. It WHEN i get asked questions, 1093 01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:42,040 Speaker 2: NONSPORTS i do THINK i don't have the data in 1094 01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:46,160 Speaker 2: front of, me BUT i remember a headline From. GOODELL 1095 01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:49,040 Speaker 2: i think they like the kickoff a. LOT i agree 1096 01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:52,720 Speaker 2: it didn't give as many like, touchdowns but it did 1097 01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:56,360 Speaker 2: create a lot more returns where it had just. Ended 1098 01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:59,720 Speaker 2: it's kind of like moving the pat back when you 1099 01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:01,800 Speaker 2: have the pat from like the two yard line or 1100 01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:03,360 Speaker 2: five yard line or wherever the hell it. WAS i 1101 01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:05,160 Speaker 2: guess it was snapped at the, two so it kicked 1102 01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:09,800 Speaker 2: at the, seven so it was a seven ten like 1103 01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:12,680 Speaker 2: seventeen eighteen yard. Kick it was like ninety nine point 1104 01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:15,120 Speaker 2: nine percent of the. Time And belichick used to rail against, this, 1105 01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:17,040 Speaker 2: like what's the this? Is why don't we just give 1106 01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:19,560 Speaker 2: them just give a free point if you want it 1107 01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:21,720 Speaker 2: or go for, Two and then they moved it back 1108 01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:25,360 Speaker 2: and it's become like ninety. Percent SO i think they're 1109 01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:27,960 Speaker 2: just they just want a little. VARIETY i don't think 1110 01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:31,960 Speaker 2: it's going, anywhere no chance THAT i think they pivot off. 1111 01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:36,080 Speaker 2: That you mentioned how concert and stadium revenue go directly 1112 01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:40,240 Speaker 2: contributes to paying players and. Coaches, well it depends you 1113 01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:42,280 Speaker 2: got TO i, mean if you own your. Stadium you, 1114 01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:44,440 Speaker 2: know some people don't own their. Stadium some people are 1115 01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:48,080 Speaker 2: in business agreements with the, city with the. Municipality so 1116 01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:52,840 Speaker 2: every franchise is. Different who owns like The, RAIDERS i 1117 01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:55,080 Speaker 2: don't know what they're set up is With. Vegas but 1118 01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:58,440 Speaker 2: like every dollar that comes, in not every team owns 1119 01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:00,800 Speaker 2: one hundred percent of that. Dollar SOME i, know fifty 1120 01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:03,160 Speaker 2: percent of that. Dollar some might know thirty cents on that. 1121 01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:06,000 Speaker 2: Dollar some of mine own seventy percent on the. Dollar 1122 01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:08,800 Speaker 2: so it's not every team is the same that. WAY i, 1123 01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:12,600 Speaker 2: mean like the forty nine, ERS i Know Santa, clara 1124 01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:17,520 Speaker 2: they split. Revenue could you go into how wealthier owners 1125 01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:19,960 Speaker 2: are able to pay players more even though there is 1126 01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:23,360 Speaker 2: a salary. Cap i've heard the bonus years of kicking 1127 01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:25,400 Speaker 2: the can down the, road but it never fully makes 1128 01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:29,800 Speaker 2: sense to. Me so let's SAY i Have i'm a 1129 01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:32,640 Speaker 2: team AND i only have ten million dollars a salary.
