1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? How are we doing?

2
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: John middlecoff three and Out podcast, What a Day to

3
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: be Alive if your North Carolina tar Heel. Yesterday, when

4
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: it was announced that Belichick was the head coach, I

5
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: did an instant reaction that is just YouTube only, so

6
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: it's on our YouTube page. I just did an instant reaction.

7
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: We'll talk a little bit about it today because I

8
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: do think there's a college team that might be kicking

9
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: themselves a little bit that would have the opportunity to

10
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: do this, because clearly he was ready to head to college,

11
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: and an option for a team that is of much

12
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: much higher stature in the world of Saturday football that

13
00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: should have been all over him if given the chance.

14
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: Sometimes timing doesn't work out, And we'll talk about some

15
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: other stuff. We've got a Thursday night game Shanahan and McVeigh,

16
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: we got Tomblin and the Steelers, and something I missed

17
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: on that franchise this year with Russell Wilson that it's

18
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: really crystallized watching the hard knocks and just seeing the

19
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: clips and kicking myself because that was you just got

20
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: a bet on leadership, and of course mail bag at

21
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: John Middlecoff at John Middlecoff is the Instagram fire in

22
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: those dms at John Middlecoff. We'll do a long mail

23
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: bag today. I got a lot more questions. I think

24
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: we'll put out probably a Saturday mail bag only on

25
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: the podcast for everyone to consume. Other than that, what

26
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: a world. If I would have told you a year

27
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: ago that Belichick would be the next head coach at

28
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: North Carolina Tar Hills, you never would No one would

29
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: have believed you. Michael Jordan wouldn't have believed you. But

30
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: here we are. So make sure you subscribe to podcasts,

31
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: if you listen on Collins Feed, make sure you subscribe

32
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: to the YouTube channel because sometimes I'll just, you know, afternoon,

33
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: just throw up a video like I did today, so

34
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: we get we got some extra content up there as well,

35
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: and before we dive into some football though, I know this,

36
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: if I had gone to North Carolina, if I was

37
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: a North Carolina fan, there is no way on God's

38
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: green Earth, I wouldn't attend a game next year I

39
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: got Bill Belichick as my head coach. If I went

40
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: to one of these other schools in the ACC and

41
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: we were playing North Carolina, I would go to that game.

42
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: And that's the cool part about these ticketing apps. My friends,

43
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: my partners at game Time, the number one ticketing app

44
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: in America. They got you covered. Because if you want

45
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: to go to a game Christmas Hanukah, my Jewish friends

46
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,399
Speaker 1: right around the corner. You need to get someone something. Well,

47
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: guess what, get them a pair of tickets to a concert,

48
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: to a game maybe next year. Are you a Mets fan?

49
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: You want Opening Day tickets to watch your boy Juan Soto.

50
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: He just got nine hundred and fifty million dollars minus

51
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: two hundred million, which is seven hundred fifty million dollars. Here's

52
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: what you do. You do something that's very easy. Take

Speaker 1: guaranteed well well, well Belichick to North Carolina. I was

60
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: thinking about I think about this a lot of the importance,

61
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: and I've benefited greatly from this the just when you

62
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: say the word timing and timing being on your side.

63
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: It's benefited me personally, you know, in a professional way greatly,

64
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: and obviously some of the great business stories in the

65
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: history of America, from Steve Jobs to Jeff Bezos to Elon,

66
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: timing has been a huge part of their success. Like

67
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: Tesla doesn't exist if it's nineteen eighty, but he has

68
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: the idea the way every things worked. You know, I

69
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: would say economically where some of these states are moving,

70
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: you know, in terms of what they're pushing. It benefited him.

71
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: He got huge tax breaks from California to build this

72
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: and start his company, and it helped lead Tesla into

73
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: just great, great, a very fruitful time. Obviously, Jeff Bezos

74
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: starts a company that is selling books online. Well, part

75
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: of the idea behind that was he realized the brick

76
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: and mortar was in trouble, and then as time went

77
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: he adapted his company and now they sell everything. But

78
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: it really wouldn't have worked without I don't know, the Internet,

79
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: which changed the game. Think of Apple, like you could

80
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: argue the most important invention of my lifetime, like the car,

81
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: the wheel, fire lights, all that shit was already invented

82
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: by before I was born. Definitely, the most impactful one

83
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: has to be this phone, which they clearly have a

84
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: market share on. Right if you sit down with one

85
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: hundred people, I would say close to it's shocking when

86
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: you don't see one of them having an iPhone. Now,

87
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: obviously it wouldn't be one hundred percent, but I would

88
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: guess if you just grabbed one hundred people, that number

89
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: is much closer to ninety than it is seventy, and

90
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: potentially closer to one hundred than it is eighty. So

91
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: I've benefited from that what I'm doing now. When I

92
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: got out of radio, if it would have been nineteen

93
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: ninety three, this would not have existed. I couldn't have

94
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: done a radio show, which are podcasts. Obviously that is different,

95
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: but in create a studio from my home, it wouldn't

96
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: have been possible, partly because the Internet didn't exist. I

97
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been able to distribute it. You wouldn't have

98
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: been able to find me. I remember the first time

99
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: I heard who Chris Russo and Mike Francesa were, and

100
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: I started listening to them on the internet. Well when

101
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: I was a kid, when they were crushing it in

102
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: New York in the late nineties. I was a sports

103
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: radio junkie, but you didn't have access to people outside

104
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: of your market. You didn't even know who they were.

105
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: I remember the first time I ever saw Jim Rome's picture,

106
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's what he looks like. Imagine now listening

107
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: to someone in an audio form and not knowing what

108
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: they look like. The access we have to a visual

109
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: of what a guy looks like is so easy. You

110
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: google them, you go to their Instagram account. Basically you

111
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: pull up their podcasts, see their picture. When I was

112
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: a kid, you listen to the radio. You had no

113
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: clue what anyone looked like. In talk radio, obviously musicians

114
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: you did. And timing has changed the world right when

115
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: it comes to Internet and the businesses associated with the Internet. Well,

116
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 1: when you look at North Carolina like they benefited a

117
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: lot from They're one of the only jobs open right

118
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: now that has a lot of money behind them. And

119
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick clearly was looking ahead and realizing I'm probably

120
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: not going to get an NFL job, or it's not

121
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: worth the risk of I might only have one or

122
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: two interviews and there's no guarantee. I am so the

123
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: old adage of bird in the hand is better than

124
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: two in the bush, and he jumped at it. But

125
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: there is no disputing that North Carolina historically is not

126
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: a great college football job. It's not bad. It's had

127
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: its moments. But when you think of top I don't

128
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: know forty college football jobs, I don't even think you

129
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: would listen North Carolina. Now the world has changed with nil.

130
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: There is a giant elephant in the room with a

131
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: massive job potentially opening Ryan Day after he lost to Michigan. Listen,

132
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: there were already some question marks, regardless of what the

133
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,239
Speaker 1: media wanted to tell you. Once he lost that game,

134
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: no one surrounded with that program, alumni, booster or people

135
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: working as chancellors, board of directors or athletic directors could

136
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: look at the guy that say they just can't. He's

137
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: got a game here in about eight nine days at

138
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: home against Tennessee. If he loses that game, you can't

139
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: convince me that they wouldn't rather have Bill Belichick than

140
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: Ryan Day coaching. Though, here's the problem. You can't fire

141
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: Ryan Day today because you still have this game. But

142
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: there is a very very good chance that if he

143
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: loses that game, You're like we would have easily fired

144
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: him for Bill Belichick. Now we'll see as the information

145
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: comes out, was a huge sticking point for Bill, making

146
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: his son the coach in waiting. I don't have this

147
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: information at the time I'm recording this, but even if

148
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: they wouldn't, you can't convince me if Bill goes because

149
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: he's willing to take a college job. Obviously he literally

150
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: just did. He's cool with it. He's all in that.

151
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: He wouldn't have taken Ohio State, and Ohio State people

152
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't want him over Ryan Day because what is the

153
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: big question mark right now with Ohio State. It's not money,

154
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: It's not a nil. I just read a report that

155
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: North Carolina one of their sales pitches to Bill was,

156
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: we'll go from four to five million, nil. We'll get

157
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: that bad boy up to twenty. Ohio State paid twenty

158
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: this year. Without blinking an eye, I saw the print

159
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 1: out of the highest paid coaches assistant coaches this year

160
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: in college football. Two of them won. Ohio State staff

161
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly makes two million dollars and their defensive coordinator

162
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: makes about two and a half, so as two coordinators

163
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: make NFL coordinator money, and they also have a wide

164
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: receiver coach, who's the recruiting coordinator making well of a million.

165
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: So in terms of staff budget, in terms of nil,

166
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: and in terms of prominence, standing, everything surrounded with it.

167
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: Ohio State has it all. Part of taking the North

168
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: Carolina job is there's gonna be some effort Bill's gonna

169
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: have to put in to get the top players even

170
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: with nil and you can sign the biggest checks, but

171
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: it's still gonna take some time. Ohio Sate recruits itself.

172
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 1: That has never been an issue my entire life. They've

173
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: always got the best players. You give them Bill Belichick

174
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: because the question mark with the program has been toughness, physicality.

175
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: Where do they wilt when they play Michigan. Why because

176
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: they're just not as tough. It's not in their souls,

177
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: not in their ethos. What do you say when you

178
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: think Bill Belichick, you think defense, that is truly his baby,

179
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: building a program of tough guys. Honestly, when you think

180
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: his offense, same thing. Tom Brady an underrated intangible he

181
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: has tough motherfucker. Julian Edelman, Logan Mankins, Rob Gronkowski, all

182
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: the guys they had in the early the iteration in

183
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: the early two thousands tough guys North Carolina. I don't

184
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 1: know how good he's gonna be. Like, I think their

185
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: team's gonna be, you know, above five hundred next year,

186
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: but I'm not predicting they're making the playoffs or anything.

187
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: I think in the next couple of years they are

188
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: going to be something to be reckoned with. But if

189
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: you put him at Ohio State next year, like, what

190
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: is honestly Bill's biggest advantage. He's smarter at football than everybody.

191
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: Maybe Andy Reid's probably the one guy now who's elevated

192
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: to his level. But Bill's x's and no's ability at

193
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: every position is better than everybody. When you watch Ryan Day,

194
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: it's like, well, he's a pretty good passing game guy,

195
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 1: but the rest of the team defense little hit or

196
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: miss toughness. Definitely hit her miss. And it's like the

197
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: running game since urban Meyer left has just not been

198
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: the same and it's not because of players. So I

199
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: wonder if Ohio State and listen, there's nothing they could do.

200
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: It's just kind of bad timing. They were a week

201
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: away of why wouldn't they immediately call this guy? Can

202
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 1: we fire Ryan Day and hire this guy? The problem

203
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: is as of December eleventh, it would be difficult to

204
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: fire Ryan Day. And I think timing was on their

205
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: side because I wonder if this was a little different that,

206
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: you know, if Bill was willing and there's some pressure

207
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: on Bill to take this job because recruiting, the transfer

208
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: portals open. If he was a week away, that he

209
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: could be the head coach at Ohio State. And even

210
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: if they wouldn't acquiesce to your sons, the coach in waiting, well,

211
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: if Bill wins a national championship, they'd probably let him

212
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: do whatever he wants. You want to make Steve the

213
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: next coach. They literally just did it with Urban Meyer.

214
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: Ryan Day had never done shit. He'd been a position

215
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 1: coach coordinator kinda you know, before he got to Ohio

216
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: State a couple of years with Urban boom, he's the

217
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: head coach. So if Belichick were to win a title

218
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: with is what Urban did, they'd be cool with letting

219
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: him hand it off. They literally just did it, and

220
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: for their standards, they wish it was a little better.

221
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: It's still not bad, but I wonder, if you're an

222
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: Ohio State fan, you go, God, couldn't we just ahead Belichick?

223
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: If I told you right now, if you're an Ohio

224
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: State fan, would you fire Ryan Day to day even

225
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: going into this playoffs to hire Belichick, even if it

226
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: meant losing to Tennessee. Of course you would, because the

227
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: reality is you might lose that game anyway, and then

228
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: you'll probably be stuck with the guy for another year.

229
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: And if I also told Michigan, or definitely if I

230
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: told Michigan Charon Moore, the ad and everyone associated with

231
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: that program. If I told Penn State and James Franklin,

232
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: if I told Oregon, if I told Alabama, if I

233
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: told Georgia, would you rather play Ryan Day or would

234
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: you rather play Bill Belichick? Would it take them a

235
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: second or two seconds to answer that question? So massive

236
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: day for UNC. And if I was an Ohio State fan,

237
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: I'd be like, so Belichick's cool with coming to college,

238
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,599
Speaker 1: Like he's actually doing the jump and we're stuck with

239
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: Ryan Day and Chip Kelly. We might lose it home

240
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 1: in a week to Tennessee. After Michigan just beat us

241
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: when their quarterback through for sixty yards, it's gotta suck. Okay,

242
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: let's get into the Thursday night game. When you think

243
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: marquee games, especially primetime games, they always show up that

244
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: visual of like, you know, like when the Chiefs play

245
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: the Bills, it's like Josh Allen versus Patrick Mahomes, right,

246
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: you throw on the Eagles this week, Pittsburgh against the Eagles,

247
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: it's like Saquon and TJ Watt right, or Russell Wilson

248
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: versus Jalen Hurts. It's like players. What has really helped

249
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 1: football separate from everyone else because ultimately it's a reality

250
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: television show. That's what sports are. It's reality television. When

251
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: I was a kid, all three major sports, basketball, baseball,

252
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: and football, the players weren't just the stars. Coaches were massive.

253
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: Phil Jackson and pat Riley were every bit as popular

254
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: is the wrong way to put it, but as famous.

255
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: Phil Jackson was as famous as basically every player in

256
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: the league at certain times. Besides maybe like Michael Jordan

257
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: and Kobe Bryant who were on his team. Pat Riley

258
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: is one of the most famous basketball figures of all time. Obviously,

259
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: in college basketball forever, the most famous people were the coaches.

260
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: In baseball, When I was a kid, the managers were

261
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: really big deal. Now they make less than an offensive

262
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: line coach does. At the University of Georgia. They don't

263
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: really play a part in the whole thing in football,

264
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: what they really got going for them. Obviously it's popular

265
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: because the scarcity of the inventory and you only get

266
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: one game a week, every game matters. We know all that,

267
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: but it's the power of the characters. The owners are

268
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: really famous, the assistant coaches are really famous. The head

269
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: coaches are equivalent to players. And the unique part of

270
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: this Niner Rams matchup is I would say the two

271
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: poster childs, like if you're just going Niners versus the

272
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: Rams this entire time. This is a team. One's won

273
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. Both of them have been to two.

274
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: They've been really good. They are by far if every

275
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: coach got fired, if every guy under fifty, they would

276
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: be the first two hires. They are the poster childs

277
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: Sean McVay Kyle Shanahan, And obviously they have a connection.

278
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: They work together. They're all under this umbrella. Their cronies

279
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: are all over the league. Even though they do it differently.

280
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: I think McVeigh is much more inclined to run like

281
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: a drop back passing game, when Kyle really wants to

282
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: play like nineteen to eighty five football and run it

283
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: forty times a game, So they are on the opposite

284
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: ends of the spectrum in terms of I think deep

285
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: down their offensive philosophy, Like if they could call one play,

286
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: what would it be. Kyle would be a run, Sean

287
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: would be a pass. But they both come from the

288
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: football school of they love tough, physical players. I was

289
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: thinking about today at the gym, like I wonder if

290
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: what they hoped Ricky Piersall would become. And part of

291
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: the reason they drafted him is because they just saw

292
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: Pooka Nakua. When you look at the Rams, like their

293
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: defensive line, Jared Verse and Fist, the two defensive linemen

294
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: from Florida State are guys Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch

295
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: would like they like old school football players despite being

296
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: two young guys. But when you think the forty nine ers,

297
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: and when you think the La Rams over the last

298
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: seven eight years, despite I mean the Rams have one

299
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: of the greatest players in the history of the sport

300
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: that just retired in Aaron Donald, and you still think

301
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: Sean McVay. The forty nine Ers of the last three

302
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: or four years are littered with some of the best

303
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: players in the league. George Kiittle, Trent Williams, Nick Bosa,

304
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: Fred Warner, I'd say DBO, but he's falling off cliff

305
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: a little bit. Christian McCaffrey, and you still think Kyle shanahan.

306
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: And that's what's cool about this matchup. Now, from a

307
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: game perspective, there's a lot on the line. I thought

308
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: the Niners are dead. I still am not that confident, right,

309
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: I don't put that much stock against the Bears, a

310
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: team that just went one, two, three Cancun. I mean, listen,

311
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: I'm not one. I have a lot of respect for

312
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: any player in the NFL. I have a lot of

313
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: respect for anyone that plays football. It's very tough sport

314
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: in college, definitely the NFL. Any good high school player,

315
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: it's hard. But that was as shitty of an effort

316
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: like they looked early on that Bears team like we

317
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: don't want to play this game, like we're just over

318
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: this season. So it's hard for me to know to

319
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: put how much stock into that game. But if the

320
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: Niners had any sort of slim slim chance to just

321
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: make their season, have an opportunity to make, they had

322
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: to win that game, and they did. Then they get

323
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: a short week against the Rams, who historically Shanahan his

324
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: own McVeigh beside the one game that really mattered the

325
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game when Coski Tart dropped a pick, but

326
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: that's another story for another day. I still think the

327
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: Niners have some question marks. Obviously, their top two running

328
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: backs are injured. That's a problem for a coach that

329
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: wants to run it. Trent Williams is out of this game.

330
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa up in the air. We'll see if he's

331
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: able to play on Thursday. Fred Warner hasn't been the

332
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 1: same guy. Why he's dealing with a broken bone in

333
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 1: his foot. They're starting running back last week Grenda, who

334
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: is a good player, sprained his foot and he's also

335
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: a question mark to play this week. So I still

336
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: think the Niners have a ton of question marks. Though

337
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: brock Purty looked dramatically better against a gutlass Bears team

338
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: than he had the previous weeks, so if they get

339
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: that version of party with Juwan Jennings with de Bout,

340
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: they still would have a chance. I think the are

341
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: a weird team because when everyone came back, I'm like,

342
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 1: get ready, this team is coming, and then for like

343
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: three weeks that Miami Dolphin game. Hell last week against

344
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: the Saints. They just were two weeks ago against Saints.

345
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: They just don't look right. Something just looks off, and

346
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm kind of out on this, and

347
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: then you watch them against the Bills, You're like, this

348
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: is the team I thought we were getting off season.

349
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: I have no clue who's gonna win this game. I'm

350
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: not gonna put any money on this game because I

351
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,959
Speaker 1: honestly don't know. You'd be like, maybe the Niners are

352
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: back and they just blast McVeigh. Wouldn't shock me if

353
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: you told me the Niners lost by ten points. We

354
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: saw them play the Rams a lot earlier in this

355
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: game in the season when the Rams had injuries. Somehow

356
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: the Rams came from ten points back in the second half,

357
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: and honestly, that's kind of started the season off on

358
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 1: the wrong foot. So I don't know, but I just

359
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: know that this is easily one of the best matchups

360
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: in the NFL, regardless who's playing, because of the two

361
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:59,959
Speaker 1: head coaches who are the two stars of the team.

362
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,560

363

Speaker 1: Speaking of head coaches who started the team, this is

394
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 1: where I got the Steeler Russell Wilson situation Wronguh, Russell's

395
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: not really you know, he's he just feels too much

396
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 1: of a politician for me, And I get it, like

397
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: part of being a public quarterback coach, like sometimes you

398
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: just being authentic doesn't benefit you, so being a bullshit artist.

399
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: And I'm not even saying he's a bullshit artist, but

400
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: the cliche answers and just saying nothing is not a

401
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: bad thing to do, Like I understand the mindset behind

402
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: doing that. It just felt like he just never breaks

403
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: character every time you see him twenty four to seven,

404
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 1: three sixty five. And I've never argued that Russell in

405
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: his heyday in Seattle wasn't just an elite player. But

406
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: I was like, this guy's gonna go to Pittsburgh, this

407
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: blue collar, tough guy operation that is just defense first,

408
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: that just has a bunch of dudes, also has a

409
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 1: couple of crazies that Tomlin can handle, and it's gonna work.

410
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: Obviously I was wrong, cause it's worked really really well.

411
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,239
Speaker 1: Hell it goes back. I thought they should have kept

412
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: going with Fields. I think a lot of people agreed

413
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: with me, and clearly that was one hundred percent the

414
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: right decision. Russell is a dramatically better passer. But I

415
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: haven't watched the New Hard Knocks, but I watched the

416
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: first episode, and obviously, like any human being a false fool,

417
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 1: you've watched a lot of Mike Tomlins. You know where

418
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: he got it wrong is. I don't know if it

419
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: really matters if Russell's like some galvanizing great leader like

420
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning or Tom Brady or Drew Brees, because that's

421
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: Tomlin's job and that's kind of his gig with this

422
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: squad so as long as Russell played well, regardless of

423
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,719
Speaker 1: he's getting beers with the boys. You know, he's like, hey,

424
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: you guys want to hit the night club on Thursday.

425
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: He's clearly not doing that. But it doesn't matter because

426
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: the main voice for the squad is the head coach,

427
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: who is probably improving again. One of the most unique

428
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: leaders we have ever seen in the history of sports.

429
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: He's pretty special. And I also got it wrong. I

430
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: thought it was time for a divorce last year. I

431
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: thought he should. I didn't think he should get fired

432
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: and like be out of the league. I thought it

433
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: was just like go somewhere else started, go to the Bears,

434
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: you know, just go to a new team, go to

435
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,719
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, start a new you just need a fresh start.

436
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: I was wrong because I think the Steelers can win

437
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: this week, and I think they're gonna be in a

438
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: position to win this week. I think it's going to

439
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: be an excellent game. I'm as excited for this game.

440
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 1: I mean, there can't be five games going into a

441
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 1: weekend so far this NFL season that I'm more excited

442
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: to watch than the Steelers at the Eagles. And if

443
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: Russell just plays under control, which he has. I thought

444
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: he made two of the better throws this season. We

445
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 1: know we can throw the go route, we know we

446
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: can throw the lollipop down the sideline, but he's making

447
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 1: some touch throws on the move. I'm fascinated to watch

448
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: this and listen this team. The heartbeat of this team

449
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: starts and ends with Mike in a little like Kyle

450
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 1: and McVeigh, like, you could argue now TJ. Watt is,

451
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: I would say one of the more famous non quarterbacks,

452
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: partly because of the last name, partly because he's one

453
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: of the best players in the league. But you could

454
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: easily like, I don't think anyone would argue with you.

455
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 1: Who's the poster child of the Steelers. When you close

456
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: your eyes, you might say it's Mike Tomlin. And that's

457
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: why this situation has been so great for Russell. And

458
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: if he keeps playing well, you know Cam Like, I

459
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: think this is a good spot for Russell to just

460
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: stay and play for this team, right because where else

461
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 1: is he gonna play that is better equipped and set

462
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: up for the guy? And speaking of leadership, there was

463
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 1: a story last week. Obviously, the Niners were in free

464
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: fall and they had just lost two games by a

465
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 1: combined seventy three to twenty. Now, granted that was on

466
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: the road Green Bay and on the road in Buffalo

467
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: to playoff teams, but I mean the ninersers in the

468
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and they got shellacked and it was embarrassing,

469
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: and Purdy just looked and the whole thing. They just

470
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: look completely overwhelmed. And Kyle had two players speak to

471
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,239
Speaker 1: the team on Saturday night to try to just kind

472
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: of rally the troops before the Bears game, and Diamadoor Lenore,

473
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 1: who just got a ninety million dollar extension, who's been

474
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: one of the better young dbs in the NFL, spoke

475
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: and it ended with Brock perty and John Lynch was

476
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: on local radio in the Bay Area this week and

477
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 1: just said it was just Brock's good. I mean, he's

478
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: good in front of the team because everyone on the

479
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: team respects him. And you know, when you're one of

480
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 1: the top three or four guys in the league, Mahomes,

481
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, your talent is so

482
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 1: immense even if you have and obviously all these guys

483
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: I think are widely considered high character guys, great leaders,

484
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: but like historically, like Roethlisberger or whoever. You don't have

485
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 1: to be mister Peyton Manning to like gout, you're the

486
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: best player. Everyone follows your lead. The majority of good

487
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are not viewed as like the top three or

488
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: four guys. It's the next five to twelve. And I

489
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 1: think the separating factor of that group is like everyone

490
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: freaking loves Jared Goff, everyone loves Dak Prescott. Like these

491
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: guys are universally considered by their teammates as high level

492
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 1: guys and well respected. And this is where I knew

493
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: Trey Lance was in trouble a couple of years ago

494
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: because the way their teammates talked about Jimmy Garoppolo when

495
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: he was starting, It's like they didn't even want Trey starting.

496
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: And then once Perdy began starting, it was like, got

497
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: the defensive guys because they've gone against him on Scout

498
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: team forever love them. I mean, they just they love

499
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: this guy. And then during the bye week, where's Brock Purty.

500
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: He's on vacation with George Kittle in Montana. And part

501
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: of being a quarterback is like part of being you know,

502
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: a CEO or general, you need people to follow your lead.

503
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: You need people in a weird way to not just

504
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: respect you, but like you. And I think Tom Brady's

505
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: widely considered the greatest teammate in the history of the league.

506
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,959
Speaker 1: I remember texta with a guy who played at Fresno

507
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: State when I was there, who played on the Chargers

508
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: forever when Philip Rivers retired, and he's like him and

509
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: Stafford he also played in the Lions, Kenny Wiggins. He's like,

510
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: those are two of my favorite teammates of my life.

511
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: They're just they're beloved in the locker room, and it's

512
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: a quality that, like, listen, it's hard to have. I

513
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: bet you know some people that know me probably don't

514
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: like me. Some people that if you're listening to this,

515
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: don't like you. Like you know, you don't act, but

516
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: when you're the quarterback. And I remember Carson Palmer telling

517
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: me this at this Fox Retreat thing in like twenty

518
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 1: nineteen in Laguna Beach. You know, a bunch of Fox

519
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: iHeart people were there, and I remember they flew me

520
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: out and I actually that was the first time I

521
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: ever went on Jet SX. And anyone that's flown that,

522
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: it's not like it's like commercial private you're on the

523
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: plane with a bunch of other people, but you can

524
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: walk in five minutes before and I thought, they send

525
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 1: me the private fucking jet. Is this I didn't even

526
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: understand what I was getting on at first, and then

527
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 1: I realized, like, no, not kinda, not really. It's just

528
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: said I spend a two hundred dollars on a ticket.

529
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: They spent four hundred and fifty. But it was cool,

530
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: and it's if you ever get the chance to fly JETSX,

531
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 1: highly recommend it. It's hard to ever go back into

532
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: the main airport after that. But Palmer, Carson Palmer was

533
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: at the event. Whie range of people everywhere from like

534
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: Steve Garvey, Coward, Sean Hannity, Carson Palmer, a lot of

535
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: different people there. But I remember just Chris Bussard. I

536
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 1: remember talking hoofs with him. We were having cocktails and

537
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: talked to Carson, and he later came on this podcast actually,

538
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: and this is before I'm sure a lot of people

539
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: listening now listen to the show, and one thing he

540
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: mentioned is like the one thing he misses the most

541
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 1: about being a quarterback wasn't a touchdown throw, wasn't even

542
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: like game day or a practice. It was every day

543
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: walking into that building in Arizona in Cincinnati and knowing

544
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: that everyone in the building was relying on you, and

545
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: that pressure was like inspiring, and you felt it every

546
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 1: day that everyone's looking at you, defense included. And being

547
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 1: a quarterback is really really hard. It's why only a

548
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: small percentage of guys excel at it in college and

549
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: definitely in the pros. And I watched Sirianni's press conference today.

550
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: I thought you did a good job. I mean, it

551
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: was a tough spot. I mean, he's no, he's like, listen,

552
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: I playing the Steelers, a good team. I know none

553
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: of you're gonna ask about me fire away. It's all

554
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: Jalen and aj. And one thing Sirianni said in that

555
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: press conference was whether it's a coach or whether it's

556
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: a player to player or coach to player, when I

557
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: respect you and I like you, we're all more likely

558
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: to go that extra mile for that guy. And obviously,

559
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: as a teammate, when you really respect the guy next

560
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: to you, you're much more likely to just work two

561
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: percent harder. When you like that coach or you respect

562
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: that coach, you're just willing to push yourself a little

563
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: bit more. It's why you know, my dad was in

564
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: the army. His brother died in Vietnam. Both my grandparents

565
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: grandpas were in World War Two. I went to high

566
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: school with a lot of people that were in the

567
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: Iraq War. It feels like pretty consistently, any veteran will

568
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: tell you that ultimately in a war situation, you're not

569
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: fighting for the politician back in Washington. You're not fighting

570
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: for the general back of the base. You'll do whatever

571
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: it takes for the guys on your right and to

572
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: your left. And obviously that is a life and death situation.

573
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: But in football, you definitely can get injured. You your

574
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: life's not on the line, but there is a physical

575
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: toll offensive defensive line, wide receivers going over the middle,

576
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: linebackers laying on the line that you are more willing

577
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: to to do whatever it takes when you have the

578
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: ultimate respect for whoever your leader is, for whoever your

579
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: unit leader is, for whoever your position coach is, and

580
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: like they can try to walk it back all they want.

581
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: Brandon Graham has been with the Eagles since I got hired.

582
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: When I got hired in twenty ten and went to

583
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: spring ball, you know, like second Ota of the Year

584
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: in I don't know when it was late May, early June.

585
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: Brandon Graham was our first round pick. He is the

586
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: I didn't know this but when he was when Jeffrey

587
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: Leury went out to practice a couple weeks ago and

588
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: announced that Brandon Graham was going to be their nominee

589
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: for the Man of the Year, which the Walter Payton

590
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: Man of the Years I would say is as prestigious

591
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: of an NFL honor as the MVP. It's I mean,

592
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: you get that award like a Cam Hayward. I think J. J.

593
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: Watts got it, Russell Will. It's something that is a

594
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: really really big deal, you know, in the NFL. Brandon

595
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: Graham's a high level guy and no human in the

596
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: history of the Eagle has ever played more seasons for

597
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: the franchise than him. So when he said the comment,

598
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: which I understand, maybe he you know, maybe had a

599
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: few beers or cocktail or something. He's not super locked in.

600
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: He's out for the year, so he's not super in

601
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: like media, I gotta say the right thing. I think

602
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: he's being pretty authentic and genuine and listen, you myself,

603
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: we've all been in situations where we work with someone,

604
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: maybe our relation starts out good and then it gets weird,

605
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: And I know AJ Brown said we're good, Like, yeah,

606
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: it's pretty clear your relationship with Jalen Hurts something's off.

607
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: And listen, I know enough you know to know it.

608
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: Just it's not great. But you can have a relationship

609
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: with someone that isn't great and still be successful. I

610
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: don't put this on AJ Brown. I put this on

611
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: the quarterback because it's the quarterback's job. Part of Jalen

612
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: Hurts's thing was I'm the ultimate leader. Everyone rallies around me.

613
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: Like That's been Stafford's claim to fame when he was

614
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: in Detroit. Like, listen, he's not doesn't have the wins

615
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: even some years he doesn't have the stats. But there's

616
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: never been a dude that played with Matt Stafford. They

617
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't fucking run through a wall for that guy. That's

618
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: what we say about coaches sometimes. But if I'm not

619
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: saying that about the quarterback, and I'm saying that about

620
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: my guard, my tight end, Like here's what I can

621
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: say about brock Perty Like listen, we can argue till

622
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: we're blowing the face about how much money he deserves

623
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: to be paid, and I agree, like I'm not comfortable

624
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: paying him fifty. Ideally I'd like to pay him thirty.

625
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: I don't really know how we worked this out, but

626
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: it has never been questioned from Debo who can be

627
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: up and down? To George Kittle, to Trent Williams to

628
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: Fred Warner. Those guys would run through a wall for

629
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: brock Perty. Every guy Matt Stafford ever plays with has

630
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: his back. Same thing with Jared Goff, the same thing

631
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 1: with Dak Prescott, Kirk Cousins. You know, it felt like

632
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: he developed that now he might just be shitty and

633
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,959
Speaker 1: everyone turns on. I do think it's a little bit

634
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: of a red flag on Jalen, like, like, what's going

635
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: on here? Man? Like, how do you change a little

636
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: bit after he got paid? Uh? Because clearly, like Jalen's

637
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: not a great passer of the ball, Like that's not

638
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: really arguable he's not. He's a flaw pocket passer. That

639
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: ain't his game. That doesn't mean he's not a really

640
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: good player. He's an awesome runner of the ball. He's

641
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: a big time run threat, which opens up their offense,

642
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: and he's a great playmaker outside of the pocket. But

643
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: inside the pocket, if he could not run, like if

644
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: against the Steelers, we just said, we're gonna give him

645
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: Jared Goff's athleticism for one game. I would bet I

646
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: would cash out hundreds of thousands of dollars from stocks

647
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: and put it all on the Steelers because they would

648
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: not be able to function. But that's not his game.

649
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: So is it just as simple as aj Brown's not

650
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: getting the ball because he's jealous a Saquan or is

651
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: it like no, there's it's not quite the same as

652
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: it was a couple of years ago, and that is

653
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: just something to monitor. And they're gonna poo poo it

654
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: and they're gonna roll it back and they're gonna say

655
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: all the right things and winning. There have been a

656
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: lot of players in the history of the sports that

657
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: don't always get along, just like human beings. A lot

658
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: of people you work with, I work with over the years,

659
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: like you don't always see I die with. You don't

660
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: even like I do. Think it's pretty difficult in this situation,

661
00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: and it's always on the quarterback to make sure that

662
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,719
Speaker 1: relationship works. That's the job of Peyton Manning, of Tom Brady,

663
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: of Drew Brees with a guy of this talent, even

664
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: if he's up and down and a weird guy. I

665
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know a J. Brown. Clearly he

666
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: can be a little emotional, but like that's on the quarterback.

667
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: That's his job to lead everybody. He's the guy, he's

668
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: the guy everyone's looking at, and he's the most important

669
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: guy beside the coach in terms of leadership. And honestly,

670
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: you could argue his voice sometimes goes farther because they're

671
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: in the trenches with that guy. They got the pads on,

672
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: chin strap buckled when it's a tie game in the

673
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, coaches in a jacket and a you know,

674
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 1: a beanie on the sideline with handwarmers. It just ain't

675
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: the same. So it's just this game's big, and I

676
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: just think, Jalen, it's just something to monitor, all I say,

677
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: something to mind, something to keep an eye on. That's

678
00:34:51,560 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: why I'm so excited to watch this game. Okay, let's

679
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 1: dive into the mail bag at John Middlecoff. At John

680
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 1: Middlecoff is the Instagram fire in those dms, very very

681
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: easy to get in on the show. I have a

682
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: ton of questions, so I probably have to push some

683
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: off maybe for a Saturday mail bag, because I just

684
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: there's no way we can't do a seven hour podcast.

685
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: This is from Anthony. I hope you're doing well. You too, Anthony.

686
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 1: Do you think Belichick chose to coach college so he

687
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: can eventually draft better players when he returns to the NFL.

688
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: I'll lat Pete Carroll. Can't imagine him doing him giving

689
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: up on chasing that record. It's a great question. I don't.

690
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: I think Mike Lombardi, who I actually just saw chefter

691
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: tweeted he's been on this podcast before. I just said

692
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: him a text, congrats. Maybe in the spring we go

693
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: out to North Carolina, get Mike. Maybe Bill, you know,

694
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: see got to do podcast. You gotta promote the program.

695
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: I think he's just living in the moment. You know,

696
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: by the time, let's say in a couple of years,

697
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: is someone hiring him seventy five years old. Maybe maybe

698
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: he's just cool with doing this and maybe he's not

699
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: looking back. Maybe this is his moment to kind of

700
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 1: do something different. What if he likes it, what if

701
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: he's having success. I think people would still want to

702
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: hire him back in the NFL. Let's say, if he

703
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: like won a national championship. But if it took him

704
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,760
Speaker 1: like four years to do that, by then he's seventy

705
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: six seventy seven years old. Is someone hiring to be

706
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: the head coach? I don't know. I don't know, so

707
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: I would probably say no. I think he's just trying

708
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: to go to college to win. Well, I think that's

709
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 1: his goal right now, go to college to try to win.

710
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: I don't think he's looking at it from all the

711
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 1: other angles. Honestly, we know the forty nine ers like Donald,

712
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: and assuming they are uncomfortable with paying Purty top quarterback money,

713
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: is there a chance that they bring back Donald to

714
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: be their starting quarterback? And if they did that, what

715
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: would they do with Perty. I don't think that's an option.

716
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: I think if they were uncomfortable, like if they had

717
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: contentious negotiations, I think he would just play on the

718
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: fourth year. He's not a free agent, right so they're

719
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 1: not forced to tag him or not. He's in his

720
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: third year, he has one more year on his contract,

721
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: and he's making a ton off the field. Listen, he

722
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 1: wants to play for Kyle. Kyle wants him to be here.

723
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: I don't think they're in the business of given Donald forty. Like,

724
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,760
Speaker 1: I just think that that's not really an option. Though.

725
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,439
Speaker 1: If Donald's gonna play like he's playing right now, he's

726
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: like a better version of Party because he's got a

727
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: bigger arm, just as mobile and bigger. But it's just

728
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: not an option, It's really not. I mentioned this on

729
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: the podcast, but Kyle had Purty talk to the team

730
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,320
Speaker 1: before a must win game on Saturday night. So I

731
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: think that tells you everything you know about his thought

732
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: with brock question for so, I recently saw a list

733
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 1: of the top nil collectives. My alma mater, Virginia is

734
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: in the top fifteen with a with a recent huge donation.

735
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:16,919
Speaker 1: Do you think non football powerhouses like my Wahoos can

736
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: turn things around easily when they get nil bags like

737
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: this or will they always be stuck in the mud.

738
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: How can a team like that become like other academic

739
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: football powers Notre Dame, Michigan, Stanford in the past. You

740
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: sent me the link to it. I can't click on

741
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 1: it because I'll get lost here in If you have

742
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: the money, you should be able to win. So if

743
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: you have top ten, top fifteen nil, you should be

744
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: a top twenty five football team. You should, especially in

745
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 1: the acc competing to win nine ten games, no excuse

746
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: for that to not be a dominant team, because that's

747
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,919
Speaker 1: what it's all about now. I was at the gym

748
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: and I looked up and I see Steven A. They

749
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 1: have him on one of the TV so it's I

750
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 1: don't have audio, but he's talking to this kid with

751
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: a BYU had on, Like, what is they're doing? Football? Nil?

752
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: And it turns out he was. He was like the

753
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 1: Cooper flag or Zion Williamson up basketball, the number one

754
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: high school recruit in basketball going to BYU. Mormon's got

755
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: some coin, baby. And then later in the day I

756
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: saw that it was seven million dollars. You think he

757
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: went to BYU for you know, the Mountain air and uh,

758
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 1: you know, no caffeine, no sextial marriage, doubt it. Seven

759
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: million large if any program you know, I bet some

760
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: programs just couldn't go that high or wouldn't go that high.

761
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,399
Speaker 1: It's all about the money now, man. So I if

762
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 1: you have your your collective is top fifteen, you should

763
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 1: be buying sweet players left and right. I think the

764
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,439
Speaker 1: problem for you guys, though different than like Ohio State

765
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 1: or LSU, like can you get anyone into school. It's like, Okay,

766
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: I want to buy this receiver. We'll give him a

767
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: million dollars, but his academics don't meet. I think I

768
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: mentioned this to Jackson. What I don't understand and listen,

769
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: I'm no one hates academia more than this guy with

770
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: multiple degrees. So I got a graduate degree and I

771
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,399
Speaker 1: mock academia, but I respect like Virginia is a really

772
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: good school. I couldn't have gone to school there like me,

773
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: and academia didn't see iydiye. I got so bored it

774
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: just it wasn't for me again, even though I got

775
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: multiple degrees. I have some people do my homework. I

776
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: don't know exactly how I accomplished it, but I did

777
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: kind of a hustler. But at these schools that have

778
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:43,320
Speaker 1: tough academic requirements, it's hard to get guys into school.

779
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. You know. I'm I don't want to say

780
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: a player's name. I was just gonna pick a random

781
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: receiver in the NFL. But it's probably easier for Justin

782
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:57,879
Speaker 1: Jefferson and Jamar Chase, you know, academically to thrive, thrive,

783
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: I'm not even saying thrive, but like, can that guy

784
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,720
Speaker 1: transfer an academic s getting like that's been a problem

785
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 1: for Stanford. Look at Notre Dame. Look who they got

786
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: in a transferportal, Riley Leonard, a quarterback. Are they getting

787
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: sweet wide receivers or dbs? Some schools don't give a shit,

788
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: which is right up my alley. You think Texas cares

789
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: or alabamacares No. So that's where the football program you

790
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,359
Speaker 1: got to get on. See an ey'd i with the

791
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: with the kind of the academic personnel that at those

792
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:30,280
Speaker 1: schools like have all the control. I watched Andrew Lucke's

793
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 1: interview with Dan Patrick and he talked about getting the

794
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: program back, and he was like, one thing we're not

795
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 1: gonna do. And this Andrew Locke talking is I believe

796
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,439
Speaker 1: we can get good student who or good players because

797
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: we did it. And I'd say, ah, I'd say you're

798
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: a little bit of an outlier. You and Christian McCaffrey

799
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 1: are somewhat outliers. Like if you want to be good

800
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: and compete against Florida State, Miami and Clemson, like, you're

801
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: gonna have to change your recruiting because you went through

802
00:41:55,960 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: a pretty unique time. Notre Dame was down, Northwestern was down.

803
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of Michigan was definitely down. There

804
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,879
Speaker 1: are only so many players that fit that mold mail

805
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 1: bag question a bit late, but in response to the

806
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: college football school flag planning, I think rather than ban

807
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:17,800
Speaker 1: the flag planning, the NCAA should embrace it. They should

808
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 1: make it a rival's weak post game ceremony, force the

809
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 1: losing team to stand and watch and defeat as the

810
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: victor plants their flag. I think it would be must

811
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 1: see television and it would ramp up the intensity of

812
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 1: the games. Am I crazy? Ron? I am all fucking

813
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 1: in on this. You talk about like the Roman games,

814
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: you know, some of these medieval moments their equivalent of entertainment.

815
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 1: This has that written all over it. Ultimately, what this

816
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 1: all is, why all this money is getting paid to

817
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: these coaches and now to these players, Like this is entertainment, boys, This,

818
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 1: as John Ham once said, that is what the money

819
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: is for. What we gotta do. The NCAA would never

820
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: agree to this because there are a bunch of fucking losers,

821
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 1: I mean, a group of pussies. We get business people

822
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 1: behind this, television people behind this, Let's do it. I

823
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: think this is a genius idea line up. Can you

824
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: imagine if Jack Sawyer wasn't allowed to attack, you just

825
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 1: gotta watch it. That would be sweet. Totally in Biggles fan,

826
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: I've been thinking of how I know this is crazy,

827
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: but would Howie be open to signing Darnold and moving

828
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,879
Speaker 1: off Hurts in the off season. Not sure this would

829
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: be possible, but I'm curious your answer. Know this, when

830
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,280
Speaker 1: it comes to the Eagles, Jeffrey Leary and Habbie Roseman,

831
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 1: if you do not win big, everything will be on

832
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: the table every single season. These guys a lot like Belichick.

833
00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: You talk about numb new emotion. If they are one

834
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 1: and done in the playoffs and Jalen throws for one

835
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: hundred yards, obviously Siriani will probably get fired. But do

836
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 1: not think just because Jalen has a big contract, he's

837
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: on scholarship, he would definitely be a trade candidate. Now

838
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: let's go to Jalen Hurt's contract. I do think it

839
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 1: would be pretty prohibitive to get rid of him. His

840
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: cap hit nextra's twenty one million dollars and his dead

841
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: cap is one hundred and seven million dollars. I'm not

842
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: a cap guy. I don't know all the details. To

843
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,320
Speaker 1: how this works. I do think that could be pretty

844
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 1: difficult for them if they could do it, though, and

845
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 1: signed Darnold, which again not a cap guy. These numbers

846
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: are complicated. Usually stuff accelerates. It might not be an

847
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 1: option if he could do it, though he would if

848
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: he had to, or if he thought like it was

849
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 1: an upgrade. I don't think he would hesitate. Again, Jaylen's

850
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: gotta play well and he's gotta win, and they've been winning,

851
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people would argue it's

852
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,280
Speaker 1: not really him. They're last in the league in pass attempts,

853
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 1: they have a running back who were comparing to like

854
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: Barry Sanders and Walter Payton, and their defense is playing awesome.

855
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: Do you honestly believe that Jim Harbaugh wanted to go

856
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: to the Bears or Raiders over the Chargers. At first,

857
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 1: the only way I could believe this doesn't really make

858
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 1: sense was he was using it as leverage over the Chargers.

859
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: But with signs pointing to Belichick going to college, he's

860
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 1: in college now, I guess anything as possible. Why do

861
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,720
Speaker 1: you think he considered the dumpster fire in Las Vegas

862
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 1: and dysfunctional Bears over Justin Herbert and the Chargers. I

863
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 1: think this is pretty simple. Jim Harbaugh went to the

864
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,879
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers when Alex Smith was a quarterback. Jim

865
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 1: Harbaugh took over Stamford when they were one and eleven.

866
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: In a complete afterthought and joke, Jim Harbaugh went to

867
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 1: Michigan when it was really bleak. Jim Harbaugh last year

868
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: interviewed with the Minnesota Vikings and wanted the job. They

869
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 1: just hired Kevin O'Connell or two years ago. Jim Harbaugh

870
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: is not beholden to a quarterback. So why would Jim

871
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: Harbaugh be interested in the Bears because he played there

872
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,439
Speaker 1: and he knows the power of the city. Why would

873
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 1: he be interested in the Raiders because that's where he

874
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: got his coaching start in two thousand and two and

875
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 1: two thousand and three and worked for Al Davis, a

876
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: guy he revered, Revers who's gone, but like the history football,

877
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 1: that means a lot to him. So he is not

878
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:30,360
Speaker 1: worried about you got no quarterback. His response would be like,

879
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,439
Speaker 1: we'll find one. We'll get one. That's what he's always done.

880
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that those teams, if they would

881
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: have been aggressive, it's not even leverage. It's a story

882
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 1: like he would have been interested. They didn't even call him.

883
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean he still wouldn't have taken the Chargers job.

884
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: They're gonna pay a fifteen million and he's got Justin Herbert,

885
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 1: but he would definitely be have been interested to me

886
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,479
Speaker 1: and the Raiders for sure. The Bears, like he would

887
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 1: never work for Kevin Warren watching here from Sweden. All

888
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 1: this Drew Aller talk has made me question why the

889
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 1: league has seemingly given up on Carson Wentz. Was his

890
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:08,240
Speaker 1: personality that bad or do teams just think he's washed?

891
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: He has some low moments, but also has some high moments.

892
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: He sure is better than some of these guys we've

893
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: seen in the draft. I think his athletic ability. The

894
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:22,879
Speaker 1: guy we saw before the ACL is no longer there,

895
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: and he's not a great rhythm pocket passer, so like

896
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 1: he's kind of got to be, you know, a version

897
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,400
Speaker 1: of like Jalen Hurts a little bit. It's a little different,

898
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: but it's run around, makes some plays and he's not

899
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: really that anymore so to me, he's just he's one

900
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 1: of those guys who had elite physical skills, got injured

901
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: and then was never quite the same and is not

902
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 1: a good decision maker. So if you get a guy

903
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,720
Speaker 1: that's not a good decision maker, like part of Sam Darnold,

904
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,439
Speaker 1: big time athlete, Like you see that guy moving around,

905
00:47:56,480 --> 00:48:00,919
Speaker 1: You're like, holy shit, Carson Wentz, that's kind of gone.

906
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 1: But I actually think like he can go on now.

907
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 1: I mean he could be if Andy and Veitch like him,

908
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 1: he could be their backup. Look, look how long Chad

909
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 1: Henney was their backup. He could do that for like

910
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 1: seven eight years. I feel bad being mean about the

911
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:21,720
Speaker 1: the writing. I screw up sentences all the time. Question

912
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: for the back do you think the cartoons, Simpsons or

913
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 1: Toy Story football games will do better in the offseason.

914
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 1: I'd much rather watch these when I'm missing ball in

915
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: May than a regular season when we have plenty to watch.

916
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 1: I'm probably a bad person to ask. I didn't watch

917
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 1: any of it as of right now. No, kids, I

918
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:48,720
Speaker 1: wasn't a huge Simpsons guy. It's just it's not really made.

919
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: It's just not my problem. I'm not their consumer. Like,

920
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 1: it's just I wouldn't watch that in May. I wouldn't

921
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: watch that in November. So I'm just the wrong guy

922
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 1: to ask. I think you're probably better doing an end season.

923
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: I think if you did that in the off season

924
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 1: and played it when like at night on a Sunday.

925
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:14,399
Speaker 1: I don't know if people were watching Love the Pod

926
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 1: been listening for a couple of years. Wanted to get

927
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,400
Speaker 1: your thoughts on the state of college quarterbacks. Are the

928
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: days of Herbert stories, Okay, tier recruit, then a long

929
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:26,319
Speaker 1: time starter for the same school over it seems like

930
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 1: all the great quarterbacks at the top of these drafts

931
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 1: are either six year starters at a ton of schools

932
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 1: or a one year guy with a high potential. Also

933
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:38,319
Speaker 1: wanted to tell you a name to write down for

934
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 1: the future. CJ. Bailey, the NC State freshman quarterback six '

935
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:47,359
Speaker 1: six and can sling it. Belichick should DM that guy

936
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: Seafield transfer. I think you got to be hesitant saying

937
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,439
Speaker 1: never you know, I mean, I think when you look

938
00:49:55,480 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 1: at Shadore, was gonna if Dion had been a Colorado

939
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,320
Speaker 1: the whole time. Shu a three year starter in Colorado,

940
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 1: right cam Ward, you know, the PAC twelve died, so

941
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:11,359
Speaker 1: he left Washington State, Like the Washington State didn't even

942
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 1: have a conference this year. They called it the PAC twelve.

943
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 1: It was two teams. Who else are we talking about?

944
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:22,799
Speaker 1: You know Quen you Weres. Really when you close your

945
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 1: eyes you think Quen. Youers think Texas. He was at

946
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: Ohio State for a minute, but he's Carson Bexman there

947
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 1: the whole time. So I I think if you go

948
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 1: to the right school, you can easily stay. But if

949
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:35,880
Speaker 1: you if you do become trying to think in recent memory,

950
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 1: a guy, uh, if you become a big time prospect

951
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 1: at a school that's probably not gonna win in Division one,

952
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:46,320
Speaker 1: Like if you're at Auburn or you're at NC State.

953
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:48,759
Speaker 1: You know Drake Mayla a couple of years ago at

954
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 1: North Carolina like Nick Saban wanted him. So like the

955
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:58,319
Speaker 1: top five or six court programs when you're at UCLA,

956
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 1: UCLA or you're gonna call you when you're at Texas Tech,

957
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 1: and it's like the guy, this guy might be Patrick

958
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 1: Mahomes Well, Texas, tex A and m and Alabama and

959
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 1: LSU are going to be all over them, and it's

960
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 1: going to be very difficult, you know, to keep that guy.

961
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: But I think you'll still see. Look at Austin genty, right,

962
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 1: he stayed at Boising. He could have left for a

963
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 1: million dollars to who knows where sweet schools and he stayed.

964
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:29,239
Speaker 1: I think it's all personality. I think if if you

965
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 1: had really good friends on a team and your team

966
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 1: was good, right, if you're on a competitive team, right,

967
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 1: it's like, well, I could go to Ohio State or

968
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:42,360
Speaker 1: I could go to Alabama, but I'm at let's say Texas,

969
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: A and M. That's a bad example because they got money.

970
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 1: But it's hard because there's there's kind of a clear

971
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 1: line of haves and have nots. You would have said

972
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 1: back in the day, like well you're at Wisconsin. It's like, well,

973
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 1: I'm at Wisconsin. We're struggling to get to six and six.

974
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: What if Michigan wants me. They didn't want me out

975
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 1: high scho but they want me. Now. What if I'm

976
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 1: at Illinois. It's like we went nine and three and

977
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 1: Ohio State calls. It's like, yeah, it's fun to be

978
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 1: at Illinois. These are my boys. But they offer me

979
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 1: a million dollars. I'm only making two hundred grand here

980
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:19,400
Speaker 1: and I can win the national championship. It's tough. Who

981
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 1: do you think is a Heisman winner? I think it's

982
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 1: a lock. Travis Hunter, I mean, is it even a question?

983
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:27,839
Speaker 1: The guy plays at one hundred and ten plays a game.

984
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:33,320
Speaker 1: I think he deserves it as well. Love the topic

985
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:37,400
Speaker 1: on today's show about dating. I think he's alluding to

986
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 1: me and Jackson. I told Jackson the DMS, DMS or TikTok, DMS, Instagram, DMS, Twitter, DMS.

987
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 1: I think it's mostly dudes, but DMS baby. I think

988
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: I haven't been on a dating app in years, but

989
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 1: I think those are dead or dying. Ugh. But then

990
00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,799
Speaker 1: I've also heard instagrams for old people now, so it's

991
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 1: like new Facebook for forty to fifty year olds and

992
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 1: all the cool kids are on TikTok and Snapchat. Lifelong

993
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 1: ASU fan here, I've never gotten my hopes up in

994
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:15,760
Speaker 1: the last twenty years because ASU loses conference championship games

995
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 1: and always disappoints. I'm actually shocked this time by the

996
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 1: beatdown they put on Iowa State after watching the game.

997
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 1: Do you think ASU has a legit chance with the

998
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: risk or with the rise of Skataboo to possibly get

999
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:33,840
Speaker 1: an upset of Texas or Clemson or am I dreaming? Also?

1000
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 1: Should Skataboo be at the Heisman ceremony? I believe he

1001
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 1: should have been. He got jobbed a little bit. If

1002
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,919
Speaker 1: he had done the same thing in the Big Ten

1003
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 1: or the SEC or even the ACC for a conference champion,

1004
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 1: I think he would be there. Like if he was

1005
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 1: Miami's running back or Clemson's running back into that, he

1006
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:55,359
Speaker 1: would be there. If he was Penn State's running back,

1007
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:58,359
Speaker 1: he would be there. So I think he definitely got

1008
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 1: jobbed because unlike Gent had a lot of momentum coming

1009
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 1: into the season, this guy just didn't. So I think

1010
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 1: it's unfair. I don't know, man, I think I think

1011
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 1: you'd be an underdog clearly against Texas. And if Clemson

1012
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 1: won that game, they would have just beat SMU in Texas.

1013
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 1: They'd be rolling. They're just bigger and stronger and faster

1014
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: than you. But hell, I mean, I wouldn't say never.

1015
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: I would say you would have a better chance if

1016
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:34,880
Speaker 1: that round. Like, shouldn't we have home playoff games after

1017
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 1: the bye? Here'd be a change that I would throw

1018
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 1: out there, first round home playoff games? How about the

1019
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 1: second round? All the teams them by get a home

1020
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 1: playoff game. Now, maybe they would push back schools off

1021
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 1: because of Christmas and Christmas break, But you're telling me

1022
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 1: ASU Attempee on January first, wouldn't sell out that game

1023
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:02,319
Speaker 1: against Clemson or Texas, Boise State hosting, you know, Penn State.

1024
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 1: It'd be full, like it would be full, So maybe

1025
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 1: the weather plays a part. I don't know. I would

1026
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 1: recommend playing those teams getting home playoff game. I think

1027
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 1: you guys are probably won and done. Hell, there's nothing

1028
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:20,239
Speaker 1: what an you gotta buy and then play Texas? If

1029
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,879
Speaker 1: you just keep the game close, it's just an incredible accomplishment.

1030
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 1: I think it'd be a bigger upset for you to

1031
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:30,799
Speaker 1: win than Boise. I think you and Boise are very

1032
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:32,880
Speaker 1: similar team both good. I mean, both deserve to be

1033
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, But can you beat Texas or Clemson?

1034
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:39,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'd have to ask my scouting buddies,

1035
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 1: like how many NFL guys do you have a starters?

1036
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:46,319
Speaker 1: Remove the running back? Because that that that I might

1037
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:48,680
Speaker 1: have to do some digging on that, because if you

1038
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:50,319
Speaker 1: just said how many guys you think ASU this year

1039
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:57,360
Speaker 1: has drafted beside Scataboo, I don't know. I mean a couple.

1040
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 1: I mean you talk Texan, Clemson might have like twenty combined.

1041
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 1: That's just a big mismatching talent. Now football scheme, heart, toughness,

1042
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 1: that's what makes the sports so great. There, you know

1043
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 1: that matters in a game? Fum, you know, turnover, who

1044
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 1: knows shit gets weird. If you guys were to beat Texas,

1045
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 1: that'd be one of the coolest upsets ever. Most of

1046
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 1: what I've been seeing discussed in regards to McCarthy is

1047
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:30,319
Speaker 1: whether Jerry Jones will or won't decide to give him

1048
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 1: a new contract. However, I haven't seen any discussion on

1049
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 1: whether McCarthy would actually want to stay with Jerry causing

1050
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:42,360
Speaker 1: so many headaches and in an inadequate roster For actual contention,

1051
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 1: do you think McCarthy would rather go somewhere else. I

1052
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 1: love to know your thoughts. That's a great question. You

1053
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:54,800
Speaker 1: are the first person even bringing this up. McCarthy's a

1054
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 1: free agent, so his agent can talk. What if the

1055
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:00,360
Speaker 1: Bears were like, hey, we'll give you a four year contract.

1056
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:03,400
Speaker 1: We'll give you four years forty five million dollars, and

1057
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 1: Jerry's like, I'll give you two year extension twenty five

1058
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:10,279
Speaker 1: million dollars. I'm just throwing random numbers here, but like,

1059
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 1: if you're McCarthy, you go, well, hey, Jerry. I mean,

1060
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 1: I got this. The Jags and the Bears want me

1061
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 1: to be their head coach. If the Bears can't get Vrabel,

1062
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 1: and it won't get Vrabel, why would they not want

1063
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:26,120
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy. He coaches the quarterback really well, he calls

1064
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:29,640
Speaker 1: the offense, and he knows how to run a team.

1065
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 1: You could argue Mike McCarthy is a better candidate than

1066
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 1: Vrabel or equally as good, and when you factor in

1067
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 1: the rookie quarterback like he's probably better. So why wouldn't

1068
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 1: the Bears be interested in McCarthy? Now? I would rather

1069
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:47,440
Speaker 1: be the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, even with

1070
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:52,200
Speaker 1: Jerry annoying me, than the head coach of probably most teams.

1071
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 1: It's a very fastigious job, right, There's a difference between

1072
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 1: being the manager of most baseball team and being the

1073
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 1: manager of the Yankees. Like North Carolina basketball means a

1074
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 1: little bit more than Texas Tech basketball, So I think

1075
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 1: there's something to be the cachet of the Dallas Cowboys.

1076
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 1: It just matters more. And he's been the coach of

1077
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 1: two places, the Packers and the Cowboys, so to me,

1078
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:20,440
Speaker 1: like the Jags, like those type teams, the Jets. I

1079
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:23,160
Speaker 1: do think the Bears would be unique if they were

1080
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 1: interested because of the young quarterback. So maybe as crazy

1081
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 1: as a sound, what if McCarthy has options? What if

1082
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 1: Jerry then has to match? So yeah, Mike McCarthy ended

1083
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 1: up getting a four year, fifty eight million dollar extension.

1084
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:40,360
Speaker 1: You'd be like, didn't see that coming. I guess it's

1085
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 1: on the table for the bag if the Falcons drop

1086
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 1: their fifth straight game to the Raiders, especially if it's

1087
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:54,400
Speaker 1: a Desmond Ritter. How is Raheem mooreri still the coach

1088
00:58:54,440 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 1: after this season, especially with the decision to stick with Kirk. Well,

1089
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 1: the decision to stick with kirk was made when they

1090
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 1: gave him a hundred million dollars. So part of sticking

1091
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:09,920
Speaker 1: with Kirk is the owner just gave him ninety million

1092
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 1: dollars guaranteed, no matter what. That's real cash that he

1093
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 1: has to have in escrows whatever. The difference is of

1094
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 1: what you actually give him as a signing bonus, which

1095
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 1: was like thirty forty million dollars. So it's if I

1096
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 1: give someone ninety million dollars, even if I'm a super

1097
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 1: rich guy, ninety million dollars, did I no matter what?

1098
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 1: He could never play another snap. I have to pay him,

1099
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 1: and you guys are the one that told me to

1100
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 1: get him. He's playing all season long on principle. If

1101
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 1: they lose the Raiders, it'd be one of the biggest collapses.

1102
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 1: I mean, the Eagles was pretty bad. Last year was

1103
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 1: really bad, but like they were good before, they're good now.

1104
00:59:56,880 --> 01:00:00,360
Speaker 1: It's like the Falcons were like, okay, they're kind looking

1105
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 1: good and now they're just in a free fall. Losing

1106
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 1: the Raiders would be really bad. You'd have to be

1107
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:11,840
Speaker 1: a degenerate to bet on that game because you'd feel

1108
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 1: like you have to bet on the Falcons. But there

1109
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 1: might be a little little underdog there with the Raiders.

1110
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:24,959
Speaker 1: The Bengals have had a rough season, and it's fair

1111
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 1: to say that it's not on the offense. It might

1112
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 1: also be tricky firing Taylor giving out good of a

1113
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 1: bond he has with Joe Burrow. Why is nobody discussing

1114
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 1: the possibility of getting Robert Sala as a defensive coordinator

1115
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 1: for the Bengals. The rise and fall of the Jets

1116
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:48,200
Speaker 1: defense before and after the Sola era clearly shows how

1117
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:51,920
Speaker 1: good of a DC is. Speaking of Joe burrowy it

1118
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 1: is crazy. This crime ring that is robbing these NFL

1119
01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:00,720
Speaker 1: players homes, which obviously if if you were in a

1120
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 1: crime ring, well it's like, hey, we need really rich

1121
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:05,400
Speaker 1: people that we know aren't going to be home. Who

1122
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:07,720
Speaker 1: would be the easiest person. Well, these guys make fifty

1123
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 1: million dollars a year and I know for a fact

1124
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 1: they are not at their home, let alone the state

1125
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:16,919
Speaker 1: right now because they're playing a football game. And what's

1126
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 1: funny is, uh, you know Maria working with this luxury

1127
01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:26,200
Speaker 1: homes real estate stuff. You know a lot of people

1128
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:29,080
Speaker 1: and my brother who's in farming and has this app

1129
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:31,680
Speaker 1: where you can like see different people's property, Like it

1130
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 1: would be a no brainer one if you're a famous person.

1131
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 1: Most of them make the real estate agencign nbas and

1132
01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:40,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people that live in their homes you

1133
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:43,800
Speaker 1: know again that are famous. Put it in like there

1134
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 1: was this famous actor that got that had a situation.

1135
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:52,040
Speaker 1: So my brother tried to figure out where he lived

1136
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:54,480
Speaker 1: because this was an area which he went a lot.

1137
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:56,680
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to give it away. And

1138
01:01:57,120 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 1: he he has this app you know, through farming that

1139
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:02,560
Speaker 1: he can see who owns the land. And obviously you

1140
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:04,880
Speaker 1: can find stuff with mls, and real estate agents have

1141
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 1: can figure out who's paying the loan. But you know

1142
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 1: a lot of famous people put stuff in LLCs. So

1143
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:12,760
Speaker 1: you know, if you looked at my house or your house,

1144
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 1: most people's homes, you can just find its under John Middlecoff,

1145
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 1: Bill Williamson, whoever you are, right, well, sometimes you put

1146
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:22,800
Speaker 1: him under little LLC. Can't figure out. It's like a

1147
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 1: desk brown LLC. It's like, who owns this house? I

1148
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:27,520
Speaker 1: got no clue, and I do wonder. I don't know

1149
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 1: why I hit the decord there if some of these

1150
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 1: guys don't even realize that despite maybe their financial guys

1151
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 1: put it. But definitely if I were any of these guys,

1152
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 1: my name wouldn't be on any of this stuff because

1153
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 1: any property I owned, because people are able to figure

1154
01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 1: it out. The modern day criminal is using the internet,

1155
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 1: using these apps, paying for them to figure out who

1156
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 1: owns what. But the bottom line is this celebrity that

1157
01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 1: was in the situation, his his house is under this.

1158
01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm pretty sure this is his house because

1159
01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 1: it's the only house that I can find under the LLC.

1160
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:00,200
Speaker 1: And I knew the situation happened there, so it's out

1161
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:02,280
Speaker 1: of his but he told me the name of the LC.

1162
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 1: It's like you would never know. Okay, why is nobody

1163
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:08,200
Speaker 1: discussing the possibility of getting Robert Salaz the DC for

1164
01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:11,680
Speaker 1: the Bengals. The rise and fall of the Jets defense?

1165
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 1: So I think I think one thing, you know, part

1166
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:19,520
Speaker 1: of sala was with the Niners when they were good

1167
01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:21,840
Speaker 1: on defen they had really good players. When the Jets

1168
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:23,280
Speaker 1: were good the last couple of years on defense, they

1169
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:25,640
Speaker 1: had really good players. I watched the Bengals and like

1170
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 1: pass rushers, sweet ninety one's a beast, but like are

1171
01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:33,600
Speaker 1: the rest of your players are good? Part of defense

1172
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 1: is double whammy. It's coaching, you know, in the pros

1173
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:40,280
Speaker 1: in college, like if you just got NFL guys everywhere,

1174
01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna be awesome on defense. In the pros you

1175
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:45,800
Speaker 1: need Jimmy's and Joe's and you need the x's nose.

1176
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:49,120
Speaker 1: I can't just outschemeing on defense with bad players. I

1177
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:51,920
Speaker 1: cannot do that now. Just because I got good players,

1178
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 1: I got bad scheme. I'll lose too, But I gotta

1179
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 1: have them both. And to me, the Bengals personnel is

1180
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:02,919
Speaker 1: just not great. You take ninety one off the field.

1181
01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:04,680
Speaker 1: It's like, how many guys on this defense? Wuld I

1182
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 1: want right now? I know they've had injuries, but diehard

1183
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 1: Vikings fan and just wanted to throw my two cents

1184
01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:18,520
Speaker 1: about keeping Donald or letting him walk debate. This is

1185
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:22,080
Speaker 1: a great debate. This is This is a great sports conversation.

1186
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 1: Sam Donald is like a truly intriguing NFL sports conversation.

1187
01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 1: So many of them are so stupid and you just

1188
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:32,960
Speaker 1: like want to pull your hair out. This one's fascinating

1189
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:35,080
Speaker 1: because you could make an argument on every single angle.

1190
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 1: I think extending Donald could be a mistake if the

1191
01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:42,880
Speaker 1: Vikings do next season, unless he wins the Super Bowl,

1192
01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:45,440
Speaker 1: and at that point I don't care anymore. Pay him whatever.

1193
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 1: As a Vikings fan, I just got done watching six

1194
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 1: disappointing years with us paying a good but not great

1195
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 1: quarterback top of the line money and don't want to

1196
01:04:56,000 --> 01:05:00,240
Speaker 1: repeat the cycle. I know Sam probably won't command top

1197
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 1: of the line money, but I think over thirty plus

1198
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:05,920
Speaker 1: million a year is wild for one good year of production.

1199
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:09,480
Speaker 1: We have an elite trio of pass catchers and a

1200
01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:12,760
Speaker 1: genius offensive play caller. The Vikes are projected to have

1201
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 1: the fifth or sixth most salary cap room this upcoming

1202
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:20,640
Speaker 1: offseason and have major holes to fill if we want

1203
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 1: to be serious contenders coming up. Obviously I'm no scout,

1204
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:26,760
Speaker 1: but I think McCarthy possesses a lot of the same

1205
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:34,200
Speaker 1: traits Sam does and can be elevated. If I was

1206
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:36,400
Speaker 1: a betting man right now, I would say Sam Donald's

1207
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:38,920
Speaker 1: not in your team next year and JJ McCarthy's your

1208
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:42,960
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. I think where the risk is this. He's

1209
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:47,280
Speaker 1: already been hurt, so you have absolutely no clue about

1210
01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 1: this guy's durability and he's never been asked throughout his

1211
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:55,240
Speaker 1: career to carry you. Part of Donald it was disappointing

1212
01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:57,640
Speaker 1: with the Jets was because we saw him carry Clay

1213
01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:00,360
Speaker 1: Helton in USC, so he has been used to doing

1214
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 1: it all on offense. JJ's never had to play that way,

1215
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 1: so you have to force him to play away that

1216
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 1: he's never played. And then two like you just never know,

1217
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:15,560
Speaker 1: You never know people not Caleb William's gonna have the

1218
01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:17,840
Speaker 1: greatest rookie season of all and I understand his coaching

1219
01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:21,200
Speaker 1: has been up and down, but it has been a

1220
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:25,000
Speaker 1: very disappointing season just with his play. He's made some

1221
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 1: great plays. He's been a very average, too below player,

1222
01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:33,160
Speaker 1: So I think there's a huge risk. Like the whole

1223
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:38,320
Speaker 1: point of the sport is to land the players, right,

1224
01:06:39,080 --> 01:06:41,400
Speaker 1: whether you get them in free agency, or whether you

1225
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:43,720
Speaker 1: get them in the draft or undrafted, free agency or

1226
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:47,880
Speaker 1: via trade. However you get TJ. Watt or JJ Watt

1227
01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:52,840
Speaker 1: or Justin Jefferson or Sam Darnold or it doesn't matter.

1228
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 1: But once you get them and they play at a

1229
01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:57,320
Speaker 1: high level, like it's on you to go. Is this

1230
01:06:57,400 --> 01:07:01,560
Speaker 1: sustainable because, like you said, big advantage you got. I

1231
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:03,400
Speaker 1: think this year he's the second best wide receiver behind

1232
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 1: Chase but one of the best players in the league. Obviously,

1233
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:09,040
Speaker 1: Addison's a stud. Aaron Jones is a really good, great

1234
01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:13,000
Speaker 1: play caller. But it works. It's the pretty argument like

1235
01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:17,920
Speaker 1: it works. And I think once you have something, it's

1236
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:21,360
Speaker 1: almost like you're chasing the rainbow for the pot of gold.

1237
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 1: What if you get the end of the rainbow and

1238
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:25,080
Speaker 1: the cloud's clear and there's no pot of gold, and

1239
01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:28,560
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, this is a disaster. I hear you, Like,

1240
01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:32,120
Speaker 1: I'm not giving him two hundred million dollars. But if

1241
01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 1: he plays well in the playoffs, because what he's doing too,

1242
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:40,960
Speaker 1: is like part of Cousins. Cousins couldn't move, so Cousins

1243
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:44,400
Speaker 1: had a flaw that if you got around him. This

1244
01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:49,280
Speaker 1: was pre injury. He was in trouble because he could

1245
01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:51,800
Speaker 1: not add lib. He was bad. He's a bad athlete

1246
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:55,320
Speaker 1: for NFL standards. Jay Gruden told us great seven on

1247
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:59,240
Speaker 1: seven quarterback. When he has time, he's awesome. But most

1248
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 1: of the NFL is not that. And as he's older

1249
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:05,120
Speaker 1: now and he's been hurt like it's not it looks awful.

1250
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:07,800
Speaker 1: But I think when you look at Sam Donald, what

1251
01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:12,000
Speaker 1: is one of his best traits mobility? It's part of

1252
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:14,920
Speaker 1: why you drafted JJ McCarthy. He's like big time athlete,

1253
01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:18,960
Speaker 1: but Sam has a high end arm. JJ's arms good.

1254
01:08:19,320 --> 01:08:21,120
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people compare JJ closer to

1255
01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 1: like Alex Smith. Sam is more like the light light

1256
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:31,000
Speaker 1: version of like Josh Allen. I think we got to

1257
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:33,000
Speaker 1: watch how this plays out. I don't have like a

1258
01:08:33,040 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 1: definitive take. You gotta extend him now, you gotta cut

1259
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:38,960
Speaker 1: him now. I do think down the stretch these games

1260
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:41,040
Speaker 1: are huge, and obviously the playoff. What if he wins

1261
01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:45,360
Speaker 1: two playoff games? If I tell you Sam Donald wins

1262
01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:47,760
Speaker 1: two playoff games and you lose in the AFC championship game.

1263
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 1: And it's not like he plays bad. He just lose.

1264
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:52,400
Speaker 1: He throws a couple of touchdowns and you lose by

1265
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:55,480
Speaker 1: a touchdown or whatever. But it's not. No one's blaming him.

1266
01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:59,800
Speaker 1: It's gonna let him walk. What would be the likely

1267
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:03,839
Speaker 1: if here's a litmus test, I use take one thousand

1268
01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:07,000
Speaker 1: dollars and you had to bet one thousand dollars in

1269
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:11,200
Speaker 1: the next three years. Using this hypothetical, Sam wins two

1270
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:13,400
Speaker 1: playoff games, you lose in the championship game, so you

1271
01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:15,759
Speaker 1: don't make Super Bowl, but you win multiple playoff games.

1272
01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:19,280
Speaker 1: Playoff wins worth like tenant regular season wins. It's an

1273
01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:21,439
Speaker 1: incredible moment for a franchise, right, and you win two

1274
01:09:21,479 --> 01:09:25,400
Speaker 1: of them. What would you place that thousand dollars on

1275
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:27,280
Speaker 1: over the course of the next three years of J. J.

1276
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:30,760
Speaker 1: McCarthy his rookie contract, not counting the fifth year option.

1277
01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:36,160
Speaker 1: Does he win two playoff games? Let's face it, the

1278
01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:40,680
Speaker 1: safe bet would be no. That's why I think like

1279
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:42,680
Speaker 1: it went from like, oh, this is kind of a

1280
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:44,880
Speaker 1: cool story to like, no, this is this is a

1281
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:49,479
Speaker 1: legit conversation that they're having internally that the fans are having,

1282
01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:53,200
Speaker 1: Like there's substance behind this. Look how many teams, Like

1283
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:55,720
Speaker 1: what would the Raiders do to have Sam Donald? What

1284
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:58,479
Speaker 1: would the Giants do to have Sam Donald? Even if

1285
01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:00,400
Speaker 1: he's not this good, just to have a guy who's

1286
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:04,160
Speaker 1: infinitely better than their guy. Some people think that he'll

1287
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:07,519
Speaker 1: suck when he leaves. I don't know. I wonder if

1288
01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:09,400
Speaker 1: we see a different guy now. He talked about it

1289
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:11,960
Speaker 1: this offseason, like I learned when he took a step back.

1290
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:17,200
Speaker 1: He said he'd learned from Purty not to play the sport,

1291
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:20,559
Speaker 1: but how to train for the sport Monday through Friday,

1292
01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:23,720
Speaker 1: how to prepare, how to watch film like it went

1293
01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:27,000
Speaker 1: to another level with the Niners, and now he's taken

1294
01:10:27,080 --> 01:10:30,719
Speaker 1: that and put it with his physical gifts the rest. Obviously,

1295
01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:35,280
Speaker 1: he benefits from good wide receivers. Joe Montana had Jerry Rice,

1296
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:39,680
Speaker 1: Tom Brady had, Gregkowski, Randy Moss like Peyton Manny had,

1297
01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:42,760
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne like, you're not going to be

1298
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:47,679
Speaker 1: a good quarterback without some sweet weapons, Rogers, Jordy Nelson,

1299
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:52,519
Speaker 1: DeVante Adams, Donald Driver, you know Greg Jenning, like you

1300
01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:54,320
Speaker 1: kind of need some good players to be a good

1301
01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:57,680
Speaker 1: to be a good quarterback. Mahomes struggling this year, Well,

1302
01:10:57,720 --> 01:11:00,360
Speaker 1: look at his weapons. What do you think of Rob

1303
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:03,559
Speaker 1: Parker of Fox Sports saying Dan Campbell's worse coach than

1304
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:07,240
Speaker 1: Brandon Staley for his reckless fourth down calls? Is that

1305
01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:10,759
Speaker 1: not completely idiotic? Fourth down calls are punning? Aside, Brandon

1306
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:16,040
Speaker 1: Staley couldn't sniff. Brandon Staley should be like Division two college.

1307
01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:20,960
Speaker 1: Comparing Dan Campbell to Brandon Staley, Brandon Staley is one

1308
01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:26,480
Speaker 1: of the biggest frauds to ever enter the National Football League.

1309
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:33,040
Speaker 1: I wouldn't compare. Brandon Staley is like Jim tom Sula.

1310
01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:37,519
Speaker 1: A couple more questions. My brother and I are huge fans.

1311
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:43,759
Speaker 1: I appreciate that we're big Lions guys, but we're worried

1312
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:46,400
Speaker 1: that our success may not be sustainable after the season

1313
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:51,200
Speaker 1: doing two reoccurring injuries and upcoming paydays for several players,

1314
01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:54,519
Speaker 1: do you think they will fall susceptible to the issues

1315
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:58,840
Speaker 1: currently facing a team built very similarly like the forty

1316
01:11:58,920 --> 01:12:04,559
Speaker 1: nine ers sooner than expected. I feel like most of

1317
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:07,880
Speaker 1: your top players are paid Goff's under contracts, stools under

1318
01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:14,519
Speaker 1: contract Montgomery's under contract, Laporta Gibbs, second year players, Jamison

1319
01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:19,920
Speaker 1: Williams young player, he's not getting paid. Hutchinson's going into

1320
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:24,120
Speaker 1: his third year. Branch is a rookie. I feel like

1321
01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:26,799
Speaker 1: the core of your team is young guys or under contract.

1322
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:31,280
Speaker 1: To me, the question with you guys, and there your

1323
01:12:31,280 --> 01:12:34,280
Speaker 1: issue is not your roster. Injuries happened nothing you could do.

1324
01:12:35,720 --> 01:12:41,160
Speaker 1: Your issues your coordinators. You know Ben Johnson how he'll

1325
01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:43,439
Speaker 1: be as a head coach. Who knows? You know, it's

1326
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:47,200
Speaker 1: it's a coin flip. Most of these guys fail, But

1327
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:50,800
Speaker 1: as an offensive coordinator with your personnel, he's elite. He's

1328
01:12:50,840 --> 01:12:57,040
Speaker 1: fucking elite. So losing him is a big blow. It's

1329
01:12:57,080 --> 01:13:01,800
Speaker 1: a big problem. So I that's a problem. You know,

1330
01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:06,439
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn like, your defense plays their balls off for

1331
01:13:06,479 --> 01:13:12,120
Speaker 1: that guy. Part of being a coach, he is replacing coordinators.

1332
01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:17,160
Speaker 1: Shanahan's done it. Mcvaye's done it. Belichick's done it countless times,

1333
01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:20,519
Speaker 1: Andy Reid's done it. It's part of the business, but

1334
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:24,400
Speaker 1: it's hard so by far to me, there's not even

1335
01:13:24,439 --> 01:13:28,640
Speaker 1: a close second. That is the biggest question mark with

1336
01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:31,639
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. If Ben Johnson's a head coach, which

1337
01:13:31,640 --> 01:13:34,400
Speaker 1: all signs point to him being coming one. And I

1338
01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:36,320
Speaker 1: do think that Aaron Glenn is going to be a

1339
01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:37,880
Speaker 1: head coach and probably the head coach of the New

1340
01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:43,360
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints, who are as two coordinators, because replacing those

1341
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:45,360
Speaker 1: two guys, I mean they've been with him the whole time.

1342
01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:47,840
Speaker 1: I know Ben Johnson hasn't been the offensive coordinator the

1343
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:54,080
Speaker 1: whole time, but I'm pretty sure Aaron Glenn has right.

1344
01:13:54,200 --> 01:14:00,519
Speaker 1: So I pull up Aaron Glenn's little wiki. He Aaron

1345
01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:04,040
Speaker 1: Glenn sneaky was a scout in twenty twelve and twenty thirteen. Yeah,

1346
01:14:04,080 --> 01:14:08,600
Speaker 1: Glenn's been with the whole time. So that's that to me,

1347
01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:10,599
Speaker 1: would be the biggest question mark with the Lions. Appreciate

1348
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:14,840
Speaker 1: everyone listening. We will be back reacting to Niners rams

1349
01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:18,280
