Speaker 1: I actually wearn't a hat today, but were there live
0:38
Speaker 1: every single day, So appreciate everyone that's checked that out
0:41
Speaker 1: or continues to do. Uh, there's a lot of football
0:44
Speaker 1: stuff going on. The owners meetings are here. There were
0:48
Speaker 1: some stories floating around. John Lynch gave a bunch of
0:51
Speaker 1: comments to my guy cam Inman Fellow caw Paly Mustang.
0:55
Speaker 1: We'll dive into that. The Browns are adamant they're not
0:57
Speaker 1: gonna chase trade Miles Garrett. Some core back news is
1:01
Speaker 1: probably gonna start. Obviously. The big news the last couple
1:03
Speaker 1: of days was Eldrick Tiger Woods getting the DUI. And
1:07
Speaker 1: you all know I'm a big golf guy, and you
1:09
Speaker 1: know Tiger was most of my life my favorite athlete
1:12
Speaker 1: by a mile. Now that he can't really play anymore,
1:15
Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter, but he can't avoid trouble, that's
1:19
Speaker 1: for sure. So we got a lot going on. We're
1:21
Speaker 1: gonna have a really busy week. Uh. The coaches, the
1:24
Speaker 1: NFC coaches, the AFC coaches do that kind of round
1:28
Speaker 1: table discussion over the next couple of days there it's
1:31
Speaker 1: mandatory that they talk. That's the famous picture of Bill
1:34
Speaker 1: Belichick with the UH with the orange juice looking looking surly.
1:39
Speaker 1: He was always, I mean, a peach of these events.
1:42
Speaker 1: But this is when we get the picture, the the
1:44
Speaker 1: you know, the coaches picture, when they all stand there,
1:47
Speaker 1: usually with with Andy in a Hawaiian shirt. We get,
1:50
Speaker 1: you know, so much turnover every year, right, we got
1:53
Speaker 1: ten new I guess we technically don't have ten new
1:55
Speaker 1: coaches because John Harbaugh just accepted another job. But most
1:59
Speaker 1: of these guys, you know, Sla wasn't a head coach, Laflor's,
2:03
Speaker 1: the Monkins, the mentors. So we're gonna have a lot
2:06
Speaker 1: of new faces in the in the coaches photo this year.
2:10
Speaker 1: So it's exciting. But before we dive in any football
2:14
Speaker 1: we I mean that that is to me the best
2:17
Speaker 1: part about March Madness. And he kind of felt like
2:20
Speaker 1: there were a lot of blowouts. You're watching Michigan. You're
2:22
Speaker 1: watching Arizona just kick the living you know what out
2:26
Speaker 1: of teams. Obviously, the NIL world has changed this tournament
2:30
Speaker 1: a little bit in terms of Cinderella is dead because
2:34
Speaker 1: the Cinderella, the moment they get an NBA player, high
2:38
Speaker 1: end players, those players get stolen. I mean Cinderella's glass
2:43
Speaker 1: slipper has been shattered, I mean absolutely destroyed. Which listen,
2:48
Speaker 1: this is the new environment. We've got Indiana winning national championships.
2:52
Speaker 1: It's it's about money and the ability to take lower
2:56
Speaker 1: teams players has completely changed the game. But that moment
3:02
Speaker 1: Duke and Yukon Dan Hurley, that was incredible, And the
3:08
Speaker 1: tournament always always, and listen, I don't pretend to be
3:11
Speaker 1: some huge college basketball consumer. Like most people probably my
3:16
Speaker 1: age watched a ton growing up in the nineties and
3:19
Speaker 1: the two thousand's Big Monday, back when the conferences weren't
3:23
Speaker 1: necessarily football oriented. You just had a lot of good
3:26
Speaker 1: basketball rivalries. I mean, the majority of them were on
3:30
Speaker 1: the East Coast and I was just a West Coast kid.
3:31
Speaker 1: But even back then, you know, I grew up Jason
3:34
Speaker 1: Kidd at Cal, the great UCLA teams, the Abandon Twins,
3:37
Speaker 1: the Titus Edney shot. We just it just felt like
3:41
Speaker 1: this tournament was lacking a little juice. And let's face it,
3:44
Speaker 1: today I'm at the gym, I'm watching Michigan win by
3:46
Speaker 1: about fifty and then Duke you know, Yukon can't hit
3:50
Speaker 1: water if they were in a boat in the middle
3:52
Speaker 1: of the ocean. But then as I'm like, should I
3:55
Speaker 1: just start the podcast, and you know, it's getting a
3:57
Speaker 1: single digits, they're just kind of making the game weird.
4:00
Speaker 1: But they were missing some free throws. At the end,
4:02
Speaker 1: they're still down four and then they're down two. But
4:06
Speaker 1: that moment what makes the tournament so cool Because in
4:09
Speaker 1: the NBA, like for the most part, maybe it's changed
4:12
Speaker 1: a little bit, but you know, one people don't really press,
4:16
Speaker 1: and when they do, these guys are so good, so skilled.
4:19
Speaker 1: I mean most guys now, like you don't have your
4:21
Speaker 1: traditional the guys only there to rebound, you know, and
4:25
Speaker 1: box out. Like most of these guys are really skilled.
4:28
Speaker 1: The center position's kind of dead. Everyone can dribble, everyone
4:31
Speaker 1: can move the ball. I mean you kind of learn
4:33
Speaker 1: that stuff, how to move the ball up the court
4:35
Speaker 1: in like eighth grade basketball. But then you're like, oh,
4:38
Speaker 1: this get a little weird. You got a bunch of
4:39
Speaker 1: nineteen and eighteen year olds out there, and then all
4:42
Speaker 1: of a sudden they turn it over and the freshman
4:46
Speaker 1: from Indiana lets that thing fly, and you're like, no, what,
4:50
Speaker 1: And you're kind of looking at the score. You're like,
4:51
Speaker 1: this would win it And it hits nothing but the
4:54
Speaker 1: bottom of the net, and you see Dan Hurley jump up,
4:57
Speaker 1: And to me, what makes the tournament so special? In
5:00
Speaker 1: basketball and baseball, in the big leagues and in the NBA,
5:03
Speaker 1: you play a series and I think if Duke played
5:06
Speaker 1: Yukon I don't know ten times in the NBA style
5:11
Speaker 1: version of playoffs, whether it's a five game or a
5:13
Speaker 1: seven game, I think they win ninety plus percentage of them. Honestly,
5:17
Speaker 1: they might win every single series, right and that Obviously
5:21
Speaker 1: Dan Hurley is an all time great coach. But it's
5:24
Speaker 1: fair to say this team isn't quite as good. I mean,
5:25
Speaker 1: they played Saint John's in the Big East Tournament. I
5:28
Speaker 1: watched that game start to finish and got the living
5:29
Speaker 1: you know what kicked out of him. So you're just
5:32
Speaker 1: watching this and John Shier and I was thinking this
5:36
Speaker 1: when you replace look at Kailin debor when you replace
5:40
Speaker 1: the goat, like I mean, Coach K to me is
5:43
Speaker 1: the most famous coach of my life. I wasn't. I
5:46
Speaker 1: don't remember John Wooden coaching. Obviously, he would be considered
5:50
Speaker 1: the most famous college basketball coach in the history of
5:53
Speaker 1: the sport. In my time living and watching college basketball,
5:57
Speaker 1: it was Coach K. No. I get it's kind of unique.
6:00
Speaker 1: You had played for him, You're a Duke guy. Still
6:02
Speaker 1: not easy, and I get it's a little easier maybe
6:05
Speaker 1: with Nil. But he's doing a great job. He's recruiting
6:08
Speaker 1: and using that money to get the right guys, the
6:11
Speaker 1: boozer things. You know. Obviously Carlos played there, but I've
6:16
Speaker 1: been really impressed. Seems like a high level guy. Easy
6:18
Speaker 1: got to root for. Well, Coach K. You know, I
6:21
Speaker 1: don't know if everyone was a fan. I've always been
6:23
Speaker 1: pro Duke. I had know the Duke had a lot
6:25
Speaker 1: of haters, but like, the guy's clearly crushing it. But
6:28
Speaker 1: he has too kicking the un know what I mean,
6:31
Speaker 1: absolute nut kicks the last two years and this one,
6:35
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just an all time l it really is.
6:38
Speaker 1: You're up huge second half, you have the ball, you
6:40
Speaker 1: can basically just run out the clock. If you get fouled,
6:42
Speaker 1: if you just hit one of the two free throws,
6:45
Speaker 1: they're not gonna be able to beat you. And more
6:47
Speaker 1: than likely, especially the guard, if he just runs around
6:50
Speaker 1: he hits both of them. You win the game. And
6:53
Speaker 1: not only did you lose the game, they like win
6:55
Speaker 1: it in historic fashion. So part of what made that
6:58
Speaker 1: game so cool. And this goes back to some of
7:00
Speaker 1: the historic moments in the tournament, back with a Latner
7:03
Speaker 1: shot against Kentucky. It's like Michael Jordan's game winner for
7:07
Speaker 1: North Carolina. These moments mean a little bit more when
7:11
Speaker 1: it's Duke, when it's Kansas. When it's Kentucky, you know
7:14
Speaker 1: the Jay Wright shot your you know Jay Wright when
7:16
Speaker 1: he when they won the championship. I forget the guys.
7:19
Speaker 1: It was a Chris Dunn. Was that the guy's name?
7:21
Speaker 1: Who it's the game winner against North Carolina? It's against UNC.
7:24
Speaker 1: So that was Yukon and North and Duke or clearly
7:28
Speaker 1: two of I mean, Duke's probably the most prominent program
7:31
Speaker 1: of the Internet era, and Yukon's what I don't know,
7:34
Speaker 1: top three or four, especially now in the last five years,
7:37
Speaker 1: there'd be number one, but That was fucking awesome. And
7:40
Speaker 1: that's what makes the NCAA tournament so cool. This is
7:43
Speaker 1: at seven game series. This isn't a five games heeries,
7:44
Speaker 1: this is eight best of three. You have a bad half,
7:48
Speaker 1: you have a bad ten minute stretch, you're gonzo and
7:52
Speaker 1: we all got to witness it. And that was That
7:55
Speaker 1: was thrilling, That was exhilarating. That's that's why we watch now.
7:59
Speaker 1: If I'd watched enough of the tournament to go, Duke
8:02
Speaker 1: was in trouble. I think it's fair to say a
8:05
Speaker 1: little bit like the NFC championship game this year, whoever
8:08
Speaker 1: wins the Michigan Arizona game is going to win the
8:12
Speaker 1: national championship. And this is what I said about North Carolina,
8:15
Speaker 1: it's like our history. Yeah, Michael Jordan played there in
8:17
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty three. Is twenty twenty six. Do you think
8:19
Speaker 1: Dusty May is leaving Michigan or Tommy Lloyd is leaving
8:23
Speaker 1: Arizona to coach your program? It's like, will you pay more? No?
8:28
Speaker 1: Not really? Do you have a bigger nil budget? No?
8:30
Speaker 1: Not really? So why is he leaving? Because Michael Jordan
8:34
Speaker 1: and Rashid Wallace and Vince Carter played there? No one cares.
8:37
Speaker 1: So I both those two guys, I mean, one of
8:40
Speaker 1: them is to me would be stunning if it's not
8:43
Speaker 1: a national champion and both of them are in the
8:45
Speaker 1: final four. And like I said, I think it's actually
8:48
Speaker 1: easier if you can build a powerhouse at a football school,
8:51
Speaker 1: way less shit on you. You don't have to deal with
8:54
Speaker 1: all the crap. Nat Oates has an incredible job at Alabama.
8:58
Speaker 1: He could be a top two or three seed every year.
9:00
Speaker 1: And Kaylin Duborr or whoever's the head football coach moving forward,
9:04
Speaker 1: is gonna take all the heat he gets to just
9:05
Speaker 1: be a guy. He's doing a great job. You're in
9:07
Speaker 1: North Carolina. One you gotta do with Duke, who you're
9:10
Speaker 1: clearly not as good at as and two, like you know,
9:14
Speaker 1: the world's changed, and can you keep up? You know,
9:17
Speaker 1: in theory they should be able to. They got this
9:18
Speaker 1: Jordan brand. But I don't know if any of you
9:20
Speaker 1: have done any research on Michael historically a little cheap
9:23
Speaker 1: you know, you know, if it doesn't volve Michael, I
9:26
Speaker 1: don't know if he cares as much. So I just
9:28
Speaker 1: think these North Carolina conversation about who are they gonna get?
9:32
Speaker 1: They got the pick of the litter. No, they don't,
9:34
Speaker 1: they don't. This isn't nineteen ninety eight, this isn't twenty ten.
9:39
Speaker 1: This is the only thing that matters is in Il.
9:41
Speaker 1: And good for Michigan and Arizona for kicking everyone's ass. Obviously,
9:45
Speaker 1: the story of the last forty eight maybe a little
9:48
Speaker 1: bit longer. I think it happened on front. I guess
9:50
Speaker 1: it did happen on Friday afternoon was Tiger Woods, who
9:55
Speaker 1: flipped a car on a residential road at lunchtime on
9:59
Speaker 1: a Friday afternoon. Like most people, the first thing you
10:02
Speaker 1: think of Tiger was drinking in the middle of the
10:05
Speaker 1: day on Friday, which, listen, I'd be a hypocrite if
10:07
Speaker 1: I said, like, I've never done that, Like I've had
10:09
Speaker 1: some drinks on a Friday afternoon, especially at the golf
10:12
Speaker 1: course or Friday at lunch, you know. I mean, it's like,
10:14
Speaker 1: so I was like, oh, that's kind of crazy, probably
10:16
Speaker 1: not a good idea. Clearly, it's like he's gonna get
10:18
Speaker 1: a bad UI. This is gonna be bad. Then all
10:20
Speaker 1: of a sudden it breaks Well, he's blown a zero
10:22
Speaker 1: point zero, but he got a dui and he's going
10:25
Speaker 1: to jail for eight hours. And Bill Simmons used to
10:28
Speaker 1: have this thing called the Tyson Zone when nothing could
10:31
Speaker 1: happen to Mike Tyson in his heyday of craziness that
10:34
Speaker 1: you wouldn't believe. And clearly Tiger Woods now has entered
10:39
Speaker 1: that kind of world where it's like he's dating Donald
10:43
Speaker 1: Junior's ex wife, he is flipping cars, he's got DUI's,
10:49
Speaker 1: he's shattered bones, he tears an achilles. He's just you
10:53
Speaker 1: just never know what's coming. There is not a Tiger
10:55
Speaker 1: Wood story that hits my phone anymore. Then I'm shocked. Now,
11:00
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean I'm not enthralled, and I want to
11:02
Speaker 1: know more about but I would say this story is
11:05
Speaker 1: not shocking, which is kind of sad in itself, but
11:08
Speaker 1: this is kind of him, and he was by far
11:11
Speaker 1: my favorite athlete most of my life. He really has
11:15
Speaker 1: retired the moment that Genesis flipped in Los Angeles. He
11:18
Speaker 1: has never been the same, never will be the same.
11:21
Speaker 1: And his competitive career unofficially ended the moment his ankle.
11:26
Speaker 1: Who you know, I've had some accounts by people that
11:29
Speaker 1: were there in the ambulance fire department world, and clearly
11:33
Speaker 1: it wasn't good, and obviously since he wears that sleeve,
11:36
Speaker 1: we've never seen pictures, it wasn't good. And since then
11:40
Speaker 1: he's had other injuries. And this guy before that moment
11:43
Speaker 1: was someone that had enough surgeries to resemble someone that
11:48
Speaker 1: played in the NFL in the seventies. But these are
11:51
Speaker 1: the type moments where you're like, this thing's kind of
11:53
Speaker 1: sad and like, obviously you know he's got a young
11:57
Speaker 1: son who's going to Florida State to play golf. He
11:59
Speaker 1: has a young and this guy's life clearly like listen,
12:02
Speaker 1: I don't have an addictive personality. I've also never had
12:05
Speaker 1: seventy five surgeries. I don't have a back that's fused together.
12:08
Speaker 1: So it's like it's hard for me to speak of
12:10
Speaker 1: like I can relate to someone addicted to pills. Now
12:13
Speaker 1: there is not going to be because you've seen that
12:15
Speaker 1: picture of him in the bush talking on the phone.
12:18
Speaker 1: Who do you think he was talking to his lawyer?
12:20
Speaker 1: And what it is? Lawyer clearly tell him to do
12:22
Speaker 1: deny everything. No piss test. They have no evidence that
12:25
Speaker 1: he was on anything. So I don't pretend to be
12:29
Speaker 1: like Judge Judy here to go like he's gonna get
12:32
Speaker 1: off on everything, or he's gonna get in trouble for this.
12:34
Speaker 1: He's not gonna be able to avoid flipping a car
12:37
Speaker 1: and reckless driving down a residential road in the middle
12:40
Speaker 1: of the day on Friday. Clearly, he's lucky. You're in
12:43
Speaker 1: residential areas where I live, where you live, where most
12:47
Speaker 1: of us live that don't live in city operations. I mean,
12:50
Speaker 1: you get kids and people riding bikes, like it obviously
12:54
Speaker 1: could have been really really bad. Clearly no one got hurt,
12:57
Speaker 1: but like there are you play this out ten times.
13:02
Speaker 1: This is probably the best case scenario, you know. But
13:06
Speaker 1: my thought was, I was kind of expecting the next
13:09
Speaker 1: day or maybe by tomorrow Tiger Woods checked himself in
13:12
Speaker 1: the rehab because we know for a fact that he's
13:15
Speaker 1: had pill issues before. He's got a DUI for them.
13:18
Speaker 1: Anyone that has had that many surgeries he literally just
13:21
Speaker 1: had one, is having these things prescribed to him. And clearly,
13:26
Speaker 1: and I said this to someone yesterday, Tiger Woods doesn't
13:29
Speaker 1: really look like a drinker. You know. I look at
13:31
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods like, I don't think he's some boozhound, and
13:35
Speaker 1: you see him, he's like, oh, he's blown zero, which
13:37
Speaker 1: is clearly coming from the golf course. My question was,
13:40
Speaker 1: how can you play golf all drugged out on these pills? Right?
13:45
Speaker 1: How can you function on a golf course and swing.
13:48
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's playing with pretty high level players and
13:51
Speaker 1: operate because he clearly can't drive a car. There was
13:54
Speaker 1: a story that broke online today that like the Secret
13:57
Speaker 1: Service has banned him from driving in any of Trump's
14:01
Speaker 1: grandchildren around. I mean, he's clearly not a safe driver,
14:04
Speaker 1: sober or not. But this is sad, and the tiger
14:08
Speaker 1: Woods situation had really the last fifteen years, had like
14:13
Speaker 1: a Michael Jackson Mike Tyson element to it. He's led
14:18
Speaker 1: a crazy ass life, you know, for a guy nicknamed
14:21
Speaker 1: Big Cat. You know, I don't know how many of
14:23
Speaker 1: those nine lives he's already used, but he's definitely used
14:26
Speaker 1: a handful of them. And this is a guy that
14:30
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I just the highs were high
14:34
Speaker 1: and the lows were pretty low, and this is one
14:36
Speaker 1: of those. You know, in a couple of weeks he
14:39
Speaker 1: wasn't going to play at Augusta. But if you're a
14:41
Speaker 1: former champion, for those of you that aren't die hard
14:44
Speaker 1: golf people, you go to this dinner, and the dinner
14:47
Speaker 1: is on Tuesday night where you put in your green jackets,
14:49
Speaker 1: and the defending champion this year it's Rory McElroy puts
14:53
Speaker 1: on the dinner and guy like Tiger Woods is standing
14:55
Speaker 1: there front and center. I'd be a little stunned after
14:58
Speaker 1: this moment if he went. But then I saw online
15:01
Speaker 1: that he was back at the golf course the next
15:02
Speaker 1: day practicing. So when I thought that he was going
15:05
Speaker 1: to go to rehab, you see something like that. My
15:07
Speaker 1: daddy goes to rehab. But this is not San Francisco,
15:10
Speaker 1: where you can break any law and not get in
15:12
Speaker 1: any trouble. This Florida where they take this ship pretty seriously. Now,
15:15
Speaker 1: I've always said, you know, your bank account typically determines
15:19
Speaker 1: what happens do you in a court of law, But
15:21
Speaker 1: there are some things that are pretty unavoidable, and like
15:25
Speaker 1: he might be able to avoid the duy because they
15:27
Speaker 1: won't be able to prove what was in what wasn't
15:29
Speaker 1: in his system. But there is no disproving that his
15:33
Speaker 1: car was flipped in a row that I would imagine
15:36
Speaker 1: the speed limit was no higher than thirty five where
15:38
Speaker 1: people that live there have young children, and this is
15:41
Speaker 1: not only not a normal occurrence, it's probably never happened.
15:45
Speaker 1: When do you ever see, especially in the middle of
15:46
Speaker 1: the day, a car flipped in a residential area. To me,
15:49
Speaker 1: it's unheard of. I've been alive for forty years, the
15:52
Speaker 1: majority of that have been living in residential areas, and
15:55
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever seen a car on the
15:56
Speaker 1: side of it on the side, you know, which is
16:00
Speaker 1: he had to climb out the passenger side of the
16:03
Speaker 1: car just to get out, so completely embarrassing moment for him.
16:07
Speaker 1: You could see that picture of him getting picked up.
16:09
Speaker 1: I mean, he spent eight hours in the jail where
16:12
Speaker 1: someone asked him as that bald sheriff, like will he
16:16
Speaker 1: get special treatment? It's like, guys, this is not this
16:22
Speaker 1: is not Levinworth, this is not Alcatraz in his heyday.
16:25
Speaker 1: This is Jupiter, Florida. I would imagine if we peeked
16:29
Speaker 1: in to that jail cell, not exactly the craziest criminals
16:34
Speaker 1: running around in that clink. You know, there's a decent
16:37
Speaker 1: chance that Tiger was the only person that they put
16:41
Speaker 1: in a cell that day. It's like, is he gonna
16:43
Speaker 1: be with general population like Jeffrey Dahmer is not in there,
16:47
Speaker 1: you know, the Unibombra Aine hanging out in Jupiter. So
16:51
Speaker 1: I thought that was, like, what are we talking about?
16:54
Speaker 1: But pretty sad, just embarrassing moment for him for a
17:00
Speaker 1: life that, let's face it, for the most part, in
17:04
Speaker 1: the latter half of his years, every time you see him,
17:06
Speaker 1: it's like he feels like he's got it buttoned up,
17:09
Speaker 1: which he clearly doesn't. So it's a good example that
17:11
Speaker 1: you never truly know because he looks like he's in
17:14
Speaker 1: fantastic shape. You're like, this guy's it's like, fuck, I mean,
17:17
Speaker 1: who knows what this guy's dealing with? Guy has some
17:19
Speaker 1: serious demons. Today's show is brought to you by our

19:25
Speaker 1: Let's talk some football. John Lynch had an All timer
19:31
Speaker 1: the UH. Asked about the substation by cam Enman, who
19:35
Speaker 1: just covered the Niners forever, he said, we got an
19:38
Speaker 1: independent scientist, and we want to let everyone know it's
19:43
Speaker 1: a big nothing burger. It's a big nothing burger. Like
19:46
Speaker 1: that's what you guys, It's a big nothing burger. Now
19:49
Speaker 1: the reality is what he tells me or you or
19:52
Speaker 1: any fan on the outside. It's kind of irrelevant. It
19:55
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. And I had a wise man tell me
19:59
Speaker 1: that when Jed York at the Super Bowl came out
20:01
Speaker 1: against this, and I'm not and listen, I'm not saying
20:04
Speaker 1: that he's lying. I'm not saying that he's wrong. Maybe
20:06
Speaker 1: they had an independent scientist do a study in a
20:09
Speaker 1: couple of weeks and find out nothing is going on.
20:13
Speaker 1: But someone told me, not that long ago, that has
20:16
Speaker 1: put on that Jersey played for that team really likes
20:20
Speaker 1: like the operation Jed York, that Jed would one hundred percent,
20:25
Speaker 1: unequivocally have to push back against this because if it
20:29
Speaker 1: ever came out that there was any sort of truth
20:33
Speaker 1: to the people that were pushing the potential theories that
20:37
Speaker 1: this was you know, injuring or leading to injuries, the
20:42
Speaker 1: amount of people and you know people being players that
20:46
Speaker 1: would sue the forty nine ers, there's no way they
20:49
Speaker 1: could afford to keep the team. They would lose billions
20:52
Speaker 1: of dollars. It would be all she wrote. So the
20:55
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, led by the owner, have no choice
21:00
Speaker 1: but to deny this because they could never ever if
21:04
Speaker 1: there was any sort of truth, Like, it's not ideal,
21:07
Speaker 1: but they have to go one hundred percent push against it.
21:11
Speaker 1: So listen, I don't this is not John Lynch's I mean,
21:14
Speaker 1: it's John Lynch's problem. He did not create this. This
21:18
Speaker 1: practic facility has been there well before he showed up,
21:21
Speaker 1: and this is something that came up that who knows,
21:24
Speaker 1: maybe he'd never even noticed. But I don't think this
21:29
Speaker 1: is going away because all the players from Kittle to McCaffrey,
21:34
Speaker 1: all of them have been asked about it. And if
21:37
Speaker 1: you're gonna come out and say this, if I was them,
21:40
Speaker 1: I'd be like, well, I want the detailed report, or
21:43
Speaker 1: can I get the scientist's number because this is our
21:46
Speaker 1: livelihood and none of these It's not like any of
21:48
Speaker 1: these guys want to leave the team. But I do
21:51
Speaker 1: think it's fair of like this is something and Kittle
21:53
Speaker 1: has talked about this, that any player is looking for
21:57
Speaker 1: an advantage to be half one on better. Right, Just
22:02
Speaker 1: the smallest margins are the difference between winning and losing
22:06
Speaker 1: millions of dollars. These are professions as players that are
22:13
Speaker 1: just not long. If you have a long career, you
22:16
Speaker 1: play like twelve years as a non quarterback, you had
22:20
Speaker 1: an incredible career. If you played in the NFL for
22:22
Speaker 1: seven or eight years. The majority of guys that come
22:26
Speaker 1: into the league I your draft, that are come in
22:28
Speaker 1: as an undrafted free agent don't even make it to
22:31
Speaker 1: four years. So the notion that this is just a
22:34
Speaker 1: big nothing berger gonna go away. And I listen, I'm
22:37
Speaker 1: not talking shit about what John said. My point is
22:40
Speaker 1: it means nothing that he said that, absolutely nothing. And
22:44
Speaker 1: I think the players are not only gonna ask through
22:46
Speaker 1: their agents for like, well, can we see the study?
22:49
Speaker 1: And I think Kyle is gonna have to address this
22:51
Speaker 1: during OTA's with his team, And I think some players
22:53
Speaker 1: are gonna ask either to have their guy talk to
22:56
Speaker 1: the scientist or to contact them themselves, because this is
23:01
Speaker 1: something that it's like, we got to figure out is this.
23:04
Speaker 1: And I don't think he would come out and say
23:07
Speaker 1: this if he wasn't told this, because then you get
23:09
Speaker 1: caught in a lie. But I just think that this
23:12
Speaker 1: notion of like nothing Burger, nothing to see here, we're
23:17
Speaker 1: all good, it's just over. I don't think that's the
23:20
Speaker 1: way it works. And this is a complicated situation. No
23:24
Speaker 1: one else is quite dealing with this. I don't pretend
23:28
Speaker 1: to be knowledgeable when it comes to the impact of substations,
23:33
Speaker 1: but I know there's enough smoke behind this that people
23:36
Speaker 1: are gonna want more answers. And to just think that
23:39
Speaker 1: you get to throw out a statement of like, oh,
23:41
Speaker 1: nothing to see or you're all good, not really the
23:43
Speaker 1: way it works, which he knows that, like Lynch is
23:48
Speaker 1: smarter than me, Stanford guy. But this is a situation
23:51
Speaker 1: that is not going to go away. And I'm sure
23:53
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan is gonna be asked about this or one percent.
23:55
Speaker 1: He will be at the coaches press conference this week.
23:59
Speaker 1: The other thing, John said, they're very close to figuring
24:03
Speaker 1: out this Trent william situation, which they had no choice,
24:06
Speaker 1: Like you're starting left tackle, your offensive line sucks. He's
24:09
Speaker 1: by far the best player even at like he'd be
24:12
Speaker 1: the best offensive lineman on this team at fifty five
24:14
Speaker 1: years old, let alone at thirty eight thirty nine. So
24:16
Speaker 1: they got to find out a way to get financially
24:18
Speaker 1: take care of him, and figure it out what the
24:20
Speaker 1: books and that was all. It was inevitable when the
24:23
Speaker 1: story came out of like the Niners could release or
24:26
Speaker 1: trade him. It's like, who is leaking these stories? This
24:28
Speaker 1: is so fucking stupid. The other thing he said is
24:31
Speaker 1: that he expects Bosa Kittle and Mikel Williams, the guy
24:35
Speaker 1: they drafted from Georgia eleven, to all be ready for
24:38
Speaker 1: opening Day, which would be pretty big because part of
24:42
Speaker 1: opening days Baseball Week one is a huge part of
24:49
Speaker 1: the forty nine or success next year has talked a
24:51
Speaker 1: lot about is having their best players on the field,
24:55
Speaker 1: and this gets back to the substation thing of like
24:57
Speaker 1: you can't have your best player getting injured having any
25:01
Speaker 1: shot to make a run. You can get by when
25:03
Speaker 1: your coach is really good and your schedules kind of sucks.
25:07
Speaker 1: But most years, if you're gonna lose all your best players,
25:11
Speaker 1: it's a rap. It's why after they beat the Eagles,
25:14
Speaker 1: it's one of the most remarkable wins in franchise history.
25:17
Speaker 1: They beat the Eagles with like a practice squad and
25:20
Speaker 1: they were playing, you know, a three hundred million dollars
25:22
Speaker 1: roster on the field, right. I mean, the Eagles were
25:25
Speaker 1: loaded with talent. They just weren't playing well. But the
25:28
Speaker 1: Niners had no business winning that game, and they did,
25:30
Speaker 1: and they did double passes. They you know, they had
25:33
Speaker 1: practice squad guys making plays on the ball on defense
25:36
Speaker 1: and it was an incredible achievement. But that is you
25:41
Speaker 1: can't do that year in year out. And the reason
25:43
Speaker 1: Seattle dominated was because their best players played. You know,
25:48
Speaker 1: this isn't the reason the Rams were right there with them,
25:51
Speaker 1: is their best players are on the field. If your
25:53
Speaker 1: best players are not on the field, you know you
25:56
Speaker 1: got no shot. The other thing he said is that
26:00
Speaker 1: they can't afford Joey Bosa. It's pretty crazy, and this
26:05
Speaker 1: speaks to the NFL injuries. You know, you're when when
26:09
Speaker 1: you're hurt, you don't get to play, meaning you don't
26:11
Speaker 1: get to improve. You know, Joey Bosa is a good
26:14
Speaker 1: example of a guy that top five pick early on
26:17
Speaker 1: in his career when he was healthy. I mean, he's
26:19
Speaker 1: just he was a dominant, powerful, excellent player, got a
26:23
Speaker 1: huge contract extension. But you start getting banged up enough,
26:27
Speaker 1: like you're either getting better you're getting worse. And when
26:30
Speaker 1: you don't play in games over the course of like
26:32
Speaker 1: a three or four year stretch, it's kind of inevitable
26:35
Speaker 1: you're just gonna get a lot worse. So I think
26:38
Speaker 1: part of Joey Bosa is a good example of a
26:40
Speaker 1: guy whose market is just not great because I know
26:43
Speaker 1: he said we can't afford him, Like, I don't think
26:46
Speaker 1: people are knocking down the doors to sign Joey Bosa.
26:50
Speaker 1: The other thing is the NFL, and it's probably like
26:54
Speaker 1: this in most industries for most people. What really separates
27:00
Speaker 1: successful people and non successful people are just having like
27:04
Speaker 1: a clear vision of what you're doing. And you know
27:07
Speaker 1: what makes the NFL unique is a GM or a
27:11
Speaker 1: coach could want to do something, but they don't own
27:14
Speaker 1: the business. These are w two employees that just happen
27:17
Speaker 1: to be really famous and make a lot of money.
27:19
Speaker 1: But like if the owner doesn't want to do it.
27:22
Speaker 1: They don't have to do it. And I never understood
27:25
Speaker 1: last year when Miles Garrett gave the Browns an out,
27:29
Speaker 1: he told them I want to leave. It's like, guys,
27:33
Speaker 1: ideally you don't trade this guy, but your team's going nowhere.
27:37
Speaker 1: You're going to suck. You have no quarterback, and the
27:40
Speaker 1: best player on your team is saying trade me. And
27:43
Speaker 1: unlike most older players, he could have got them multiple ones,
27:48
Speaker 1: multiple twos, could have got them a Hall. Then he
27:51
Speaker 1: goes on to have the best season of his career,
27:54
Speaker 1: has like twenty three sacks, they win five fucking games,
27:58
Speaker 1: and they just re do his contract. And Andrew Berry
28:02
Speaker 1: is quoted today somewhere in Arizona at the hotel. Then
28:07
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett's going to be a career Brown Brown for life.
28:11
Speaker 1: It's like, what are we doing, guys? How does this
28:14
Speaker 1: make any sense? This franchise is just you know, for
28:19
Speaker 1: Andrew Berry's this Ivy League guy supposed to be really
28:21
Speaker 1: impressive and smart. You just watch how they operate, Like
28:26
Speaker 1: if you want to defend him, you just say, the
28:28
Speaker 1: owner tells him whatever to do, and he has little
28:32
Speaker 1: to no juice because extending and not trading him last
28:36
Speaker 1: year made no sense. Drafting the two quarterbacks made no sense.
28:40
Speaker 1: Now messing with his contract and then coming out that
28:44
Speaker 1: makes it more tradable, But then come out and say,
28:47
Speaker 1: that's not why we did it. He plans on not
28:50
Speaker 1: only keeping this player, but we want him to end
28:53
Speaker 1: his career here. You're going nowhere, and you're actually going
28:57
Speaker 1: nowhere fast. Your division has some issues, right, Steelers currently
29:01
Speaker 1: don't have a quarterback. You know, the Bengals still have
29:05
Speaker 1: a lot of question marks personnel wise, though when healthy
29:08
Speaker 1: could be pretty good. The Ravens a lot of weird
29:11
Speaker 1: stuff this offseason, lost some players, new coach, new play caller.
29:16
Speaker 1: Yet you feel like you're in the minor leagues compared
29:19
Speaker 1: to those operations, And it just gets back to there's
29:23
Speaker 1: no vision. There's no consistent theme of like this is
29:27
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. Say what you want about the
29:30
Speaker 1: Steelers and Ravens, like they've had a pretty consistent theme
29:33
Speaker 1: for a long period of time. It's why since basically
29:36
Speaker 1: I was in high school in the early two thousands,
29:39
Speaker 1: they've kind of been the same for twenty five years now.
29:41
Speaker 1: They've been better or worse on a given year, But
29:44
Speaker 1: you know, exactly philosophically what the Ravens and the Steelers
29:50
Speaker 1: want to do right and now, like when you watch
29:54
Speaker 1: the Broncos or you watch Jim Harbon the Chargers or
29:56
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, like they have a clear vision, the Browns
29:59
Speaker 1: have never had any sort of vision ever. And it's
30:03
Speaker 1: why it bothers me so much when people and I
30:06
Speaker 1: see it with Stefanski like signing Tua and then coming
30:10
Speaker 1: out with the quote of like you know, when you
30:11
Speaker 1: get fired, your back's against the wall, and it's like,
30:14
Speaker 1: I understand because he's like I can relate to Tua.
30:16
Speaker 1: We both because you know, Tua got cut, which is
30:18
Speaker 1: firing in in football terms. So yeah, that is true.
30:22
Speaker 1: I've been fired too. It's a it's a motivator. You
30:24
Speaker 1: start looking in the mirror. It's it's fight or flight.
30:28
Speaker 1: That's true. The difference is for a lot of us,
30:31
Speaker 1: when we find ourself in the dirt, when we find
30:34
Speaker 1: ourself in the mud, what do they tell you to
30:36
Speaker 1: do when they find you, know you're in a hole,
30:38
Speaker 1: drop the shovel. In pro sports, when you find yourself
30:42
Speaker 1: in these situations, you still gotta like, you can be
30:45
Speaker 1: more motivated, you can be more folks. You still gotta
30:47
Speaker 1: play the fucking games, and you either have the talent
30:49
Speaker 1: or you don't have the talent. It's like Kevin you
30:51
Speaker 1: signing Tua, which he's surely gonna start because Pennix is
30:54
Speaker 1: coming off this injury and more than likely, like I
30:57
Speaker 1: could see Tua beating him out. Even if you're not
31:00
Speaker 1: anything with this guy. You're not winning divid you're not
31:02
Speaker 1: making the playoffs with Tua. Tongue Baila, that's not happening.
31:05
Speaker 1: But Stefanski like doesn't quite understand because for whatever reason
31:09
Speaker 1: in his mind, like what he values at quarterback. It's like, God,
31:13
Speaker 1: this is not gonna work man, Like you need some
31:16
Speaker 1: help from the personnel people. And then you look at
31:19
Speaker 1: Andrew Barry in this situation, it's like, God, this team's
31:21
Speaker 1: gonna be terrible. It's just gonna be a train wreck,
31:25
Speaker 1: which is sad because Ohio such a great football state.
31:29
Speaker 1: If the Browns were ever good, it'd be really really cool.
31:33
Speaker 1: But they aren't even close to me being good. Now. Listen,
31:37
Speaker 1: I understand, like they don't need an extra first round
31:39
Speaker 1: pick this year. They have multiple. To me, you could
31:42
Speaker 1: trade him for this crazy haul in the future, right,
31:46
Speaker 1: you could trade him two first round picks and not
31:49
Speaker 1: even take one this year because you'd want him for
31:51
Speaker 1: next year when you can start moving up for better quarterbacks.
31:54
Speaker 1: And they're just clearly doesn't feel like inclined to do that.
31:57
Speaker 1: But I don't see how anyone could argue in including him.
32:01
Speaker 1: If you were in a closed room, be like Andrew,
32:03
Speaker 1: do you think you'd be better off of the course
32:05
Speaker 1: of the next four or five years with Miles Garrett
32:09
Speaker 1: on your team or trading him right now for a
32:11
Speaker 1: ton of assets while he still has a lot of
32:13
Speaker 1: value even though he's over thirty, which is pretty rare.
32:17
Speaker 1: Like most guys on the line of scrimmage aren't gonna
32:21
Speaker 1: have a ton of value at thirty, thirty one, thirty two,
32:24
Speaker 1: thirty three years old. It's just not gonna be the case.
32:26
Speaker 1: Then there are certain outliers. Trent Williams was like this
32:30
Speaker 1: five years ago when the Niners traded for him. Miles
32:32
Speaker 1: Garrett would be like this now, Guys in their early
32:34
Speaker 1: thirties that are such elite talents, Hall of fame, no
32:39
Speaker 1: doubt about it. Every time he steps on the field,
32:41
Speaker 1: he's the most talented guy in the field. It's like
32:44
Speaker 1: this guy still has a lot of value, and if
32:46
Speaker 1: your team blows, which the Browns blow, he does nothing
32:51
Speaker 1: for you. It's like some it's like in baseball, when
32:54
Speaker 1: you have a great pitcher on a team that wins
32:57
Speaker 1: sixty five seventy games, you get to a point where
33:00
Speaker 1: it's like you might as well utilize your one positive
33:03
Speaker 1: asset that it's not his fault, but you're not a
33:05
Speaker 1: good team to try to improve the aggregate of the organization.
33:11
Speaker 1: And for the Browns being this like forward thinking Ivy
33:14
Speaker 1: League operation, smart guys in the front office, they do
33:17
Speaker 1: some dumb shit and the only way you could convince
33:20
Speaker 1: me it's like, okay, I was wrong on everything. If
33:23
Speaker 1: Andrew Berry said, my owner makes me do all this stuff,
33:26
Speaker 1: which I wouldn't put it past him. He seems like
33:28
Speaker 1: a nut job. But I don't see how this is
33:32
Speaker 1: good for business. The other thing that was funny today
33:34
Speaker 1: I saw quarterback news that Aaron Glenn he's already named
33:39
Speaker 1: Gino Smith the starting quarterback. I was listening to Todd McShay
33:43
Speaker 1: talk about this. He must know the GM there, they're like,
33:47
Speaker 1: they're clearly focused on twenty twenty seven, that they got
33:50
Speaker 1: multiple picks next year. They're gonna be bad this year.
33:54
Speaker 1: I just think sometimes, and we've seen this in basketball,
33:58
Speaker 1: when you start thinking picture and you have never had
34:02
Speaker 1: any equity, the team's already bad. Everyone's negative. It's like
34:06
Speaker 1: you just never know, man, Like you're not that this
34:08
Speaker 1: ownership has shown to be very emotionally unstable. All of
34:14
Speaker 1: a sudden can come out of left field at any moment.
34:17
Speaker 1: It's like, if this team wins three or four games
34:20
Speaker 1: next year, which clearly would be the best case, assuming
34:22
Speaker 1: there's a top quarterback, that these guys are just safe,
34:28
Speaker 1: that Aaron Glenn can go another year not winning many games,
34:31
Speaker 1: looking terrible every week, and just keep his gig. And
34:35
Speaker 1: then the elephant in the room is would one of
34:38
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks come out and say, I'm not playing there.
34:43
Speaker 1: I refuse to go to the Jets. We haven't had
34:45
Speaker 1: that happen in a while. But I think you don't
34:48
Speaker 1: need to be a rocket scientist to see that one coming,
34:52
Speaker 1: you know, down the train tracks. So I just think
34:55
Speaker 1: the Jets man are just in a really bad rut.
34:59
Speaker 1: And sometimes you find yourself in this and you keep
35:01
Speaker 1: trying to kind of ban dating it, hoping to get
35:04
Speaker 1: to the point where it's like oh, then we get
35:06
Speaker 1: to the draft where we kind of fix the franchise.
35:10
Speaker 1: People been hearing that in New York Jets fans for
35:13
Speaker 1: fifteen plus years. There is no guarantee. The draft is
35:18
Speaker 1: the ultimate crapshoot. And I mean last year, it's why
35:21
Speaker 1: everyone says, and I'm guilty of this too, it's gonna
35:24
Speaker 1: be some great quarterback draft. I haven't been as aggressive
35:27
Speaker 1: on that one. We said that about this year's class,
35:30
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, a couple guys didn't
35:32
Speaker 1: live up to the hype. Some guys got injured, Fernando
35:35
Speaker 1: Mendoza came out of nowhere. We'd never seen Ty Simpson play,
35:39
Speaker 1: so you just never know, you know. And I just
35:43
Speaker 1: think this Jet situation with Gino Smith is gonna be ugly. Man,
35:48
Speaker 1: It's gonna be really, really ugly. And like they were
35:51
Speaker 1: the last go round, they hit on a bunch of
35:53
Speaker 1: picks Quinnin Williams, Sauce Gardner, Garrett Wilson, Breize Hall. I mean,
36:00
Speaker 1: they had really good players in a lot of different positions,
36:02
Speaker 1: and now none of those players are on the team.
36:04
Speaker 1: And the reason is because they couldn't figure out the
36:06
Speaker 1: quarterback and it blew up in their face. Now the
36:10
Speaker 1: one pass rushers on the Titans. You got Sauce Gardner
36:12
Speaker 1: on the Colts. You know, Breese Hall is on a
36:15
Speaker 1: franchise tag. Who knows. I can see him getting traded
36:17
Speaker 1: this season. Garrett Wilson Like, what's the point of him
36:20
Speaker 1: on a bad team. These things snowball, and once they
36:23
Speaker 1: snowball the negativity, it's hard to slow it down. The
36:27
Speaker 1: other two news and notes around the league were Josh
36:31
Speaker 1: Allen is gonna be cleared for OTAs he obviously had
36:36
Speaker 1: the broken bone in his foot after the Bronco game
36:40
Speaker 1: that he got cleaned up. And when they named Joe
36:42
Speaker 1: Brady the coach, he came out in crutches. They're gonna
36:46
Speaker 1: really need him this offseason like he is now with
36:51
Speaker 1: this young coach who again I was really impressed when
36:55
Speaker 1: you watch his press conference talking to people to combine.
36:57
Speaker 1: I'm buying stock in Joe Brady. But you need your
37:01
Speaker 1: best player, who already is the team leader, to even
37:04
Speaker 1: do more now because you don't necessarily know what you're doing,
37:10
Speaker 1: and there's gonna be a huge learning curve for you.
37:12
Speaker 1: Like all these young coaches, the mentors Joe Brady's. They've
37:17
Speaker 1: never sat in that seat. But that's why so many
37:20
Speaker 1: people are buying into John Harball with the Giants or
37:23
Speaker 1: thinking that Robert Sala with the Titans can turn around,
37:26
Speaker 1: because they've sat in that seat before. Obviously, John's had
37:28
Speaker 1: a lot of success as a head coach. Salah hasn't,
37:32
Speaker 1: but he's comfortable in that decision making seat. He's been
37:35
Speaker 1: in a position where he's had a guy get a DUI,
37:37
Speaker 1: he's had a guy get arrested, he's had a star
37:39
Speaker 1: player break his foot, he's had a star player terror's achilles.
37:43
Speaker 1: He understands what it's like to go to a news conference,
37:47
Speaker 1: you know, wearing those shoes, and the reality is like
37:50
Speaker 1: Mentor and Joe Brady, these guys, the pressure on the
37:54
Speaker 1: Ravens and on the Bills is enormous and it's real,
37:59
Speaker 1: it's tangible. Right, Both teams have been really close that
38:02
Speaker 1: they've been on the precipice of breaking through in the AFC.
38:07
Speaker 1: And two years ago was the Bravens turn. Couldn't get
38:10
Speaker 1: it done against Mahomes. Last year, I guess that was
38:12
Speaker 1: three years ago. Now, last year it all broke for
38:16
Speaker 1: the for the Bills and they couldn't get it done.
38:18
Speaker 1: And now on Lamar on Josh, like the pressure is
38:23
Speaker 1: just immense. It really is to just I mean basically
38:28
Speaker 1: be like an assistant coach, because you got to hold
38:33
Speaker 1: the team accountable. You got to set the tone every
38:36
Speaker 1: day in practice, which obviously all these guys already do.
38:39
Speaker 1: But like he had, John Harball had already won a
38:42
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, who had a resume that was really long,
38:46
Speaker 1: and by the last couple of years, like Sean mcderrn
38:48
Speaker 1: been a head coach for a while, look had accomplished
38:50
Speaker 1: a lot. Like he was very comfortable, like whether you
38:54
Speaker 1: thought he was good or not, or a little overrated,
38:56
Speaker 1: like he was used to being a head coach. And
38:59
Speaker 1: I I'm just fascinated to watch this play out. I
39:02
Speaker 1: like it when teams like this have a bunch of pressure.
39:06
Speaker 1: It makes the league more interesting. But we've talked about
39:10
Speaker 1: the Chiefs because I saw Andy just told I think
39:13
Speaker 1: the NFL network we saw the video last week of
39:16
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes that Patrick looks great. He's not gonna make
39:19
Speaker 1: any proclamations. I'm not gonna say he's for sure gonna
39:22
Speaker 1: start a training camp or be ready week one, but
39:25
Speaker 1: we are very very bullish on where he's at and
39:27
Speaker 1: if they have a good draft, right, they got picked,
39:30
Speaker 1: they got picked nine, they got picked twenty nine, they
39:32
Speaker 1: got a high pick in the second round. If they
39:35
Speaker 1: can get impact, if they get three starters and two
39:37
Speaker 1: of them are impact players out of that group, they
39:40
Speaker 1: can flip this thing around really quick, because you're gonna
39:43
Speaker 1: get them motivated. Patrick Mahomes, because let's be let's be real.
39:47
Speaker 1: He did not play well last year. He just did not. Honestly,
39:51
Speaker 1: he hasn't played that great the last couple of years.
39:53
Speaker 1: The difference was two years ago when he made the playoffs,
39:56
Speaker 1: started playing well in the playoffs right, and last year
40:00
Speaker 1: he just wasn't good relative to his standard. But you're
40:03
Speaker 1: gonna get a guy very motivated off an injury, off
40:05
Speaker 1: a down year, with some new reinforcements. I just think
40:11
Speaker 1: the Chiefs I got a chance to bounce back really
40:14
Speaker 1: really quick. So the pressure, the added pressure that puts
40:18
Speaker 1: on Josh and Lamar make to me the AFC fascinating
40:22
Speaker 1: because you also got the Chargers, you got Vrabel and
40:24
Speaker 1: the Patriots. The clips of Rabel as U's pro day
40:29
Speaker 1: was what day was that Friday? We had looked in.
40:32
Speaker 1: I had reached out to Issue about doing like a
40:35
Speaker 1: live show there because you know, they got Jordan Tyson,
40:40
Speaker 1: who's gonna be a top twenty pick. They have an
40:42
Speaker 1: offensive lineman whose potential first rounder. He was the guy
40:47
Speaker 1: the clips of Rabel going at it with. But they
40:49
Speaker 1: just said like it was gonna be such a zoo
40:52
Speaker 1: because their guys hadn't you know, Tyson hadn't done anything
40:55
Speaker 1: at the Combine. They're not really equipped and they're just
40:57
Speaker 1: like maybe next year, but we're just not quite equiped
40:59
Speaker 1: to do it. Hey, no problem. I still want to
41:01
Speaker 1: talk to Dillingham. But the clips of Rabel. Can you
41:06
Speaker 1: imagine like when these offensive are defensive linemen get in
41:10
Speaker 1: a position and they look at Pro Day and there's
41:12
Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel who's like, all, run the drill. You mean
41:15
Speaker 1: like you'll run the drill. No, I'm going to be
41:18
Speaker 1: in the drill. I'm gonna be in the drill. I've
41:20
Speaker 1: won a bunch of Super Bowls as a player. I'm
41:23
Speaker 1: fucking huge. Like I saw Rabel at the Combine. You know,
41:28
Speaker 1: he's big, like you see Jim Harball or Coach Reed,
41:30
Speaker 1: like they're big guys. Rabel looks like the classic of
41:36
Speaker 1: that guy played at a high level. I'm not even
41:38
Speaker 1: sure what, but he just did something at a high
41:40
Speaker 1: level athletically. He is just big and you can tell
41:44
Speaker 1: like he kind of misses it. You know, there's a
41:47
Speaker 1: reason Jim Harbaugh wears cleats and throws at practice with
41:52
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks because he misses it. Kyle Shanahan when they
41:55
Speaker 1: run scout team defense at different portions of training camp,
41:59
Speaker 1: and I think during the regular season he plays quarterback,
42:02
Speaker 1: you know what. I kind of kind of always wish
42:03
Speaker 1: she was a player, did play, you know, a Texas
42:05
Speaker 1: but like just he kind of likes the juice. And
42:09
Speaker 1: when you get Mike Rabel at a pro day situation,
42:14
Speaker 1: it's where he kind of gets his rocks off, and
42:17
Speaker 1: we don't get enough of that anymore. So that's that's
42:20
Speaker 1: a pretty cool story that kid gets to tell all
42:23
Speaker 1: his buddies that are like, yeah, how's a prodig go. Yeah,
42:26
Speaker 1: he just went one on one with a Mike Rabel
42:28
Speaker 1: for forty five minutes. And even I saw Gronk and
42:31
Speaker 1: Edelman talking about this a clip over the last like
42:34
Speaker 1: six months, oh, because they had Will Campbell on and
42:37
Speaker 1: Will Campbell was telling him about his workout going up
42:40
Speaker 1: against Rabel, and like the thing with Rabel is you
42:44
Speaker 1: go for twenty five thirty minutes one. You're going pretty
42:48
Speaker 1: hard against younger people who are just at this point
42:51
Speaker 1: in time stronger than you, but too you could get injured.
42:55
Speaker 1: You see the flag football injury list. Gronk got injured hamstring,
42:59
Speaker 1: you know, because the older you get and you start
43:02
Speaker 1: going through some of these drills, like, he ain't scared,
43:06
Speaker 1: you know, he ain't scared at all. So I we
43:09
Speaker 1: just need more Mike Vrabel doing drills. And uh, that'd
43:14
Speaker 1: be the thing if you were an offensive or defensive
43:16
Speaker 1: lineman and the Patriots want you to do an individual workout.
43:22
Speaker 1: I think the first thing I would ask my agent,
43:24
Speaker 1: like is a coach Rabel gonna be there? Or just
43:26
Speaker 1: position coach? Because position coach, like, okay, I just get
43:28
Speaker 1: to work with some cones, some bags. If like coach
43:31
Speaker 1: Rabel's gonna be there, you have to like kind of
43:34
Speaker 1: change your mindset, maybe car blowd you know, get a
43:36
Speaker 1: good night's sleep. I mean kind of approach like a game,
43:40
Speaker 1: like what am I fucking getting myself into here? So, uh,
43:44
Speaker 1: props of Rabel for getting on a sweat and going
43:47
Speaker 1: viral on a Friday afternoon before the owners meetings, talk
43:50
Speaker 1: to you. We're gonna have a great week reacting to
43:53
Speaker 1: everything coming out of the owners meetings, and we will
43:56
Speaker 1: talk soon. Audios the volume
