Speaker 2: wide receiver crowbar his way out of Dallas? He's got
0:24
Speaker 2: the franchise tag, one of the franchise tags, and how
0:27

2:24
Speaker 2: at it, might I remind you, and this is very important,
2:26

2:49
Speaker 2: All right, back to it we go, and we begin
2:52
Speaker 2: this hour with the Dallas Cowboys win in doubt throw
2:56
Speaker 2: the Cowboys out because the Cowboys are good for business
3:00
Speaker 2: in these parts, and so that is what we're going
3:01
Speaker 2: to do. And there's one storyline that is bigger than
3:06
Speaker 2: all the other storylines with the Dallas Cowboys and involves
3:09
Speaker 2: a certain disgruntled wide receiver. So, if you haven't been
3:12
Speaker 2: following this story, the Cowboys recently while we were away,
3:16
Speaker 2: placed the non exclusive franchise tag on the back of
3:21
Speaker 2: George Pickens by George, which means that if you would
3:26
Speaker 2: like to get your hands on George Pickens, you can
3:28
Speaker 2: do that. You can negotiate a contract with Pickens. However,
3:33
Speaker 2: you got to read the fine print. However, the Cowboys
3:35
Speaker 2: would have a chance to match any offer sheet that
3:38
Speaker 2: George Pickens agrees to, all right, so if not, if not,
3:43
Speaker 2: then the team that signs him would have to give
3:46
Speaker 2: the Cowboys not one, but two first round draft picks
3:49
Speaker 2: as compensation. So that's the deal on that. Now, if
3:53
Speaker 2: you've not been following the nitty gritty on this, and
3:57
Speaker 2: perhaps not, the state funded NFL media saying that they
4:03
Speaker 2: do not expect they do not expect George Pickens to
4:06
Speaker 2: sign the franchise tag anytime soon, that he's going to
4:08
Speaker 2: drag this thing out, as is normal protocol. You sign
4:14
Speaker 2: at the very last minute if you're going to sign
4:16
Speaker 2: that at all, and that's how this goes. You crank
4:19
Speaker 2: up the drama, O rama. Now we hear the Pickens camp,
4:25
Speaker 2: the Pickens camp. We're going to try to find a team,
4:29
Speaker 2: play the match game. Try to find a team that
4:30
Speaker 2: is a match for George Pickens on a long term contract.
4:36
Speaker 2: And then it will be up to the Cowboys whether
4:38
Speaker 2: or not they want Pickens to actually leave or not,
4:40
Speaker 2: and how desperate they are to keep George Pickens. So
4:43
Speaker 2: that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
4:46
Speaker 2: the question is how could George Pickens crowbar his way
4:53
Speaker 2: out of Jerry's world? How does he get out of Dallas?
4:56
Speaker 2: How does he get out of the Cowboy locker room.
5:00
Speaker 2: My observations, I got fruit of a loom, whole foods,
5:03
Speaker 2: and hunger games, and we will combine all of these
5:08
Speaker 2: things together and we are going to eat our own
5:11
Speaker 2: dog food, is what we're going to do. You know,
5:13
Speaker 2: that's an old old business saying, you gotta eat your
5:15
Speaker 2: own dog food. You got to consume your own product
5:18
Speaker 2: and all that, and a lot of people don't do
5:19
Speaker 2: that anymore. We do consume our own dog food, though
5:22
Speaker 2: we do, we do on the show. So number one,
5:25
Speaker 2: all right, So don't let the franchise tag hornswaggle. You
5:29
Speaker 2: do not allow the franchise tag to commit skull douggery
5:33
Speaker 2: because it's not handcuffs. This is this idea. It's a
5:37
Speaker 2: handcuff situation. It's not handcuffs. It is like a suggestion
5:41
Speaker 2: box that is decorated and wrapped in barbed wire. That's
5:45
Speaker 2: what it is. So the playbook for the Great Escape,
5:50
Speaker 2: they get very traumatic the Great Escape from Jerry's world.
5:53
Speaker 2: You start by poking the bear. You must poke the bear,
5:57
Speaker 2: you know it. You raise a hulla baloo. You gotta
6:01
Speaker 2: raise a hullabaloo. You become the mosquito that is buzzing
6:05
Speaker 2: around Jerry Jones while he's sitting on those tremendously expensive
6:09
Speaker 2: Egyptian sheets that he sleeps on there at three in
6:12
Speaker 2: the morning, and you just bother him. And we've seen
6:16
Speaker 2: this before. It's a common movie. It's a common movie. Here.
6:21
Speaker 2: Micah Parsons, he did something similar. He stopped his feet.
6:26
Speaker 2: He had a conniption fit.
6:28
Speaker 3: He'd settled just a little bit.
6:30
Speaker 2: Banged, the drama and all that, and suddenly Jerry flinched
6:35
Speaker 2: and traded his ass to Siberia to go play for
6:38
Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers, the Holy Land of the Cheese Curd.
6:42
Speaker 2: And that was that. But Jerry for a long time,
6:45
Speaker 2: Oh now we're gonna keep Michah Parsons, We're not gonna
6:48
Speaker 2: trade him. And then he did, so we know that
6:51
Speaker 2: for Jerry, chaos is really good. It's really really good.
6:56
Speaker 2: And they have enough if they were to get rid
6:59
Speaker 2: of George Peckigins. They already have in Cedee Lamb, a
7:03
Speaker 2: top level wide receiver, so they can get somebody else
7:06
Speaker 2: in there to play wide receiver. But Piggins has to
7:09
Speaker 2: be willing to play the game. You gotta play the
7:11
Speaker 2: game if you really want to get I would love
7:13
Speaker 2: the franchise tag. If the company I work for wants
7:17
Speaker 2: to give me one year of cowherd money, I'd be
7:20
Speaker 2: very happy at that. I would not complain, I wouldn't
7:23
Speaker 2: demand the trade. I would take that and have a
7:26
Speaker 2: cheshire cat smile to these guys, these NFL players, they
7:29
Speaker 2: bitch so much about to sell the franchise tag. It's
7:32
Speaker 2: such a such a hardship for these guys, it's so sad.
7:36
Speaker 2: It really is just like working in a sweatshop having
7:38
Speaker 2: to make the average of the last five years of
7:42
Speaker 2: players at your position or whatever it is, and in
7:44
Speaker 2: what the formula is. It's really difficult. I don't know
7:47
Speaker 2: how these guys sleep at night being franchise tag My god.
7:51
Speaker 2: So anyway, George Pickens here, he's got, as you said,
7:54
Speaker 2: play the game. Send out some cryptic Instagram stories, you know,
8:00
Speaker 2: send out some stuff of you wearing different uniforms. That's
8:02
Speaker 2: always good this time of the year.
8:04
Speaker 1: Right.
8:04
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, here's here's George Pickens wearing Oh look at it?
8:07
Speaker 2: Is that a? Is that a Raiders j Oh, he's
8:09
Speaker 2: wearing a Raiders orse. He wants to play for the Thurides.
8:12
Speaker 2: The social media posts that have the Freemi vibes to them,
8:16
Speaker 2: you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, So, and then
8:18
Speaker 2: you can go just full if you really want to
8:21
Speaker 2: upset Jerry Jones, you go full what I call fruit
8:23
Speaker 2: of the Loom. You know those T shirts. I don't
8:25
Speaker 2: think they're like this anymore, but he used to make
8:26
Speaker 2: those T shirts that had the label, they'd the tag
8:28
Speaker 2: on the back and it would poke and kind of
8:31
Speaker 2: tickle you while you wore the shirt. It was very annoying.
8:35
Speaker 2: So you gotta do that. You gotta annoying. You gott
8:36
Speaker 2: to poke and annoy Jerry Jones and make it uncomfortable,
8:40
Speaker 2: make it loud and messy, and Jerry will enjoy that
8:43
Speaker 2: for a while, and then at some point he will
8:45
Speaker 2: no longer enjoy it. And that's the point of demarcation.
8:49
Speaker 2: That is the point of demarcation there. And as far
8:53
Speaker 2: as the window shopping, you're free to roam around the NFL,
8:56
Speaker 2: try to work out a deal. You got to go
8:58
Speaker 2: to Buffalo first. Now, nobody really wants to live in
9:00
Speaker 2: Buffalo if they have a choice, but that's the team.
9:03
Speaker 2: You go in there as the number one option at
9:06
Speaker 2: wide receiver. They don't have a number they don't have
9:08
Speaker 2: a number two receiver in Buffalo. You go in there,
9:11
Speaker 2: get paid a ton of money, you got a top
9:13
Speaker 2: level quarterback. You're good to go. You're good to go. Patriots,
9:17
Speaker 2: they made the Super Bowl. They don't have an assassin
9:20
Speaker 2: at wide receiver. Go to New England. Now I mentioned
9:23
Speaker 2: the Raiders. They're starving for anything irrelevant. If the Raiders
9:27
Speaker 2: were a show on Vegas on the strip, they'd be
9:30
Speaker 2: canceled because they're terrible. Then you got teams like the
9:33
Speaker 2: Titans who sucked that need help, the Ravens who have
9:36
Speaker 2: a star quarterback that need a big time wide receiver.
9:39
Speaker 2: So George Pickens is the shiny toy, the price who
9:44
Speaker 2: cares about draft picks. I would trade all of my
9:46
Speaker 2: draft picks. I don't give an f about draft picks.
9:50
Speaker 4: Now.
9:50
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, to Indianapolis we go. The scouting Combine is oh
9:56
Speaker 2: v e R. It's all over the How are we
9:59
Speaker 2: gonna go on with our lives? All those nugs, all
10:03
Speaker 2: the nuggets, all week, every day, fifteen thousand stories popping
10:07
Speaker 2: out of the scouting Combine with its corporate sponsor there
10:12
Speaker 2: in Indianapolis, all those NFL people running up expense accounts
10:16
Speaker 2: at the two or three high end restaurants in downtown Indianapolis.
10:20
Speaker 2: So the combine is over. Another year is in the books.
10:23
Speaker 2: Another one bites the dust, another one bites the dust.
10:25
Speaker 2: So I don't know how much you consumed of the combine.
10:29
Speaker 2: I very little, very little I had. I will admit
10:35
Speaker 2: I had it on in the background. I think it
10:39
Speaker 2: was Thursday. I think it was Thursday. I had it
10:42
Speaker 2: on the background I did not really pay attention to it,
10:46
Speaker 2: so that that's it. And I did monitor some of
10:49
Speaker 2: the names that are being hyped up. For example, if
10:53
Speaker 2: you did not partake in the NFL scouting combine consuming it.
11:00
Speaker 2: From what I understand, I could be completely wrong about this,
11:02
Speaker 2: but from what I understand, the two studs that got
11:06
Speaker 2: the most buzz are Notre Dame running back Jeremiah Love.
11:12
Speaker 2: That's the name of a star. Jeremiah Love. That's a
11:16
Speaker 2: star's name. You better not suck when your named Jeremiah Love.
11:19
Speaker 2: That's a big time name, the Golden Domer. And then
11:22
Speaker 2: you've got Cincinnati wide receiver Jeff Caldwell, who Jeff Caldwell,
11:27
Speaker 2: who had scouts drooling at the combine. You might want
11:31
Speaker 2: to see a doctor, all right, So let's discuss this
11:34
Speaker 2: the question what are your takeaways from the nuggets that
11:40
Speaker 2: came out of the scouting combine. What are the big
11:43
Speaker 2: takeaways on this? So the annual Underwear Olympics, the closing ceremonies,
11:49
Speaker 2: which includes something with rich Eisen who used to work
11:52
Speaker 2: here back in the day. But the whole thing has
11:54
Speaker 2: been commandeered and in the last fifteen years is not new.
12:00
Speaker 2: This is not a fresh take, but the last fifteen years,
12:03
Speaker 2: this thing has been commandeered. It's a marketing junket. It's
12:06
Speaker 2: a marketing juncket. They roll out the runway, you got
12:09
Speaker 2: the red carpet. They shine the spotlight on the players
12:13
Speaker 2: that are entering the NFL and they parade them out.
12:17
Speaker 2: It's like fashion week in Paris. It's fashion week, and
12:21
Speaker 2: you know they're wearing not shoulder pads, they're wearing spandex.
12:24
Speaker 2: But that's it. That's what they did. They got bright
12:27
Speaker 2: colored cleats on, they shoes, the whole thing, and they
12:30
Speaker 2: run around and they shake it. Took us. That's how
12:33
Speaker 2: they do it, right there, boom on fashion week. NFL's
12:37
Speaker 2: Fashion Week. The NFL executives poking prad. They bring in
12:41
Speaker 2: their trainers and their doctors and they get all the
12:44
Speaker 2: measurements and then the wingspans and it's kind of like
12:48
Speaker 2: going to Whole Foods and buying a cantalope. They're measuring
12:51
Speaker 2: it like it's a candilope at Whole Foods, except they're
12:54
Speaker 2: human beings. And so Jeremiah Love and this guy Jeff Calwell,
12:57
Speaker 2: who've never heard of, they won the weekend let from
13:00
Speaker 2: when I read Maybe I read it wrong, but they
13:01
Speaker 2: won the weekend. They look like Marvel superheroes, so I'm
13:05
Speaker 2: sure they do Mazeltov. They look great. And it's the
13:08
Speaker 2: NFL going full Hollywood. Hooray for Hollywood, Hooray for Hollywood.
13:14
Speaker 2: It's Warner Brothers with the forty yard dash, is what
13:18
Speaker 2: it is. And the draft is at this point, and
13:21
Speaker 2: it's been this way as long as the draftsmen around.
13:23
Speaker 2: They try to add some sexy women, and they add
13:26
Speaker 2: some fireworks, and everyone's got a sob story. And the draft,
13:31
Speaker 2: you know, they all came from bad parts of town.
13:33
Speaker 2: They all had no money. It's if anybody is drafted
13:38
Speaker 2: who has a lot of money, they're shamed. What's wrong
13:40
Speaker 2: with you? Anyway? The point of all this is the
13:44
Speaker 2: NFL draft is when you break it down to its
13:47
Speaker 2: essence and you go back to bedrock. It's old dudes
13:51
Speaker 2: reading names off a card. That's what the NFL draft is.
13:55
Speaker 2: There's nothing exciting about it. Nothing. Let's just have somebody
13:59
Speaker 2: walk up to a podium and read names. That's it.
14:03
Speaker 2: That's all. Now they can add fog machines, they've tried that, right.
14:07
Speaker 2: Hype videos, you know, the whole thing. And this is important.
14:11
Speaker 2: You gotta start pumping up. This is the biggest event
14:14
Speaker 2: of the offseason. You gotta pump up these players. Send
14:18
Speaker 2: out the press, release the hype videos, the dramatic piano
14:21
Speaker 2: music in the background. You gotta have that. He's built like,
14:25
Speaker 2: hey man, you know that old thing. You know, it's
14:28
Speaker 2: the It might as well be produced by the people
14:30
Speaker 2: that Tutsi role who make that fluffy stuff cotton candy
14:35
Speaker 2: with him. Throw some lollipops in there, some Tutsi pops.
14:38
Speaker 2: You're good to go. Here's the reality check. Though nobody
14:42
Speaker 2: knows anything. Nobody knows anything when it comes to the
14:46
Speaker 2: NFL draft. It is a spin of the roulette wheel.
14:50
Speaker 2: You draft because somebody looks like the Incredible Hulk. They've
14:53
Speaker 2: got the measurables that you like, and that don't guarantee anything.
14:58
Speaker 2: You're not gonna be a superstar because you have the measurables.
15:02
Speaker 2: And as the old line goes from back in the day,
15:05
Speaker 2: you can have the body of Tarzan. But if you
15:08
Speaker 2: don't play like Tarzan, if you play like yeah, it's
15:11
Speaker 2: not well, it's not well there, you go play like Jane.
15:15
Speaker 2: So you don't know what You don't know is the
15:18
Speaker 2: point of all this. And you don't know what you
15:21
Speaker 2: got until you open the box. What's in the box,
15:24
Speaker 2: you don't know. Sometimes it's a franchise level player and
15:29
Speaker 2: sometimes it's a honeysuckle turkey. We cuts both ways, all right, now,
15:33
Speaker 2: final point. As the event of twenty twenty six came
15:36
Speaker 2: to an end, I did notice the chatter that there
15:40
Speaker 2: are many NFL staffers who think they're on thin ice.
15:45
Speaker 2: Now why is that? Well a popular topic by popular people.
15:50
Speaker 2: The scouting combine artificial intelligence, Oh no, yes, and that
15:57
Speaker 2: it is spreading like a funk. Yes, not the fungus hut,
16:02
Speaker 2: but it's spreading like a fungus. There and the question
16:05
Speaker 2: whether or not AI, not Alan Irison, but AI will
16:10
Speaker 2: knock jobs for scouts. There'll be fewer scouts and there'll
16:16
Speaker 2: be less coaching jobs. And that's that because of AI
16:22
Speaker 2: and the many of the jobs that are currently done,
16:25
Speaker 2: the low level jobs in the NFL are jobs that
16:27
Speaker 2: could easily be replaced with AI and would be more accurate.
16:33
Speaker 2: And so this is the concern that you have with
16:36
Speaker 2: people who work in the NFL who are trying to
16:39
Speaker 2: make their way up the ladder. That the ladder will
16:42
Speaker 2: be chopped down and they're going to fall down. So
16:46
Speaker 2: let us discuss this. The question on this one, how
16:50
Speaker 2: do you see this AI takeover of the NFL working out?
16:56
Speaker 2: All right? So my first thought is, I absolutely love
16:58
Speaker 2: this story. Now, yeah, you hate in my job. Eventually
17:00
Speaker 2: we'll go they'll be AI here. I'll lose my job
17:02
Speaker 2: to AI. I'm convincing that at some point I believe
17:06
Speaker 2: that to be true. That said this, having covered the
17:11
Speaker 2: NFL for years, back when they had those fat guys
17:14
Speaker 2: that used to play, that smoked cigars and wore Hawaiian shirts,
17:16
Speaker 2: and they were the scouts with the radar guns and
17:18
Speaker 2: all that and the stop watches like that crowd, they
17:21
Speaker 2: got replaced. Almost all of those guys got replaced by
17:25
Speaker 2: the Ivy league crowd. The analytical crowd came in. They
17:29
Speaker 2: flooded the league with spreadsheets, and now they're the ones
17:34
Speaker 2: that are now in danger of getting eaten by their
17:37
Speaker 2: own creation. How great is that? The irony is just outstanding.
17:43
Speaker 2: So the same analytical crew that took the NFL by storm,
17:48
Speaker 2: those nerds that flooded the NFL with all this stuff,
17:52
Speaker 2: they built this monster in the lab where you put
17:55
Speaker 2: in all the numbers and all that stuff, and now
17:58
Speaker 2: they're in danger of being escorted out out of the
18:00
Speaker 2: building with one cardboard box with all their stuff in it.
18:04
Speaker 2: I've made that walk, by the way. It's not a
18:06
Speaker 2: fun walk. It's not a fun walk. I've made that
18:07
Speaker 2: walk before. But they sold everyone on process over people.
18:12
Speaker 2: This was the argument. I'd say process was more important
18:15
Speaker 2: than people. We don't care about the human beings. It's
18:17
Speaker 2: all about the process. Okay, great, wonderful. Well oh yeah, yeah,
18:24
Speaker 2: Now the process is starting to replace the people. It's
18:27
Speaker 2: the corporate hunger games, the corporate hunger games of the NFL.
18:31
Speaker 2: And may the odds be ever in your favor, Chad
18:36
Speaker 2: from Cornell or Mike from Harvard or Steve from Yale
18:41
Speaker 2: or whoever, good luck on that right. And eventually it
18:45
Speaker 2: doesn't happen right away. I know in radio it happens
18:48
Speaker 2: right away. But in other businesses. The NFL's got a
18:51
Speaker 2: lot of money, so they can afford to have no
18:54
Speaker 2: show jobs, which these jobs pretty much are no show
18:57
Speaker 2: jobs and all that stuff. Heck, the Vikings GM who
19:00
Speaker 2: just got let go, was supposedly drafting players based on
19:04
Speaker 2: Pro Football Focus or whatever it was, and that was
19:08
Speaker 2: who he was drafting based on what they recommended, rather
19:10
Speaker 2: than actually doing any scouting, which is essentially what this
19:13
Speaker 2: would be.
19:13
Speaker 4: Like.
19:13
Speaker 2: AI says to draft this guy. Okay, it says, we'll
19:16
Speaker 2: draft that guy because that's what AI said. And then
19:18
Speaker 2: if anybody questions it, you say, well the AI said
19:20
Speaker 2: they drafted, so just blame AI. Okay, change AI's they okay,
19:23
Speaker 2: we'll change Aiyes, they just do what they whatever they're told. So,
19:28
Speaker 2: but the cost cutting does eventually happen. It happens in
19:31
Speaker 2: every business, and it's it's like they payroll. Slash and
19:36
Speaker 2: burn would be what this is. And there's so many
19:39
Speaker 2: more coaches now than there used to be in all
19:43
Speaker 2: of these sports, so many more now you can trim
19:46
Speaker 2: the fat away and I do a little slash and
19:48
Speaker 2: burn situation, get rid of some of these guys. And
19:50
Speaker 2: that's corporate America, one oh one man. That's I've worked
19:53
Speaker 2: at big corporations for my entire adult life, and that's
19:56
Speaker 2: how they operate. But if the robot can right the
19:59
Speaker 2: scouting rep, then why have the scout right If the
20:04
Speaker 2: robot if AI can do what the nerds can do,
20:08
Speaker 2: but they can do it quicker and they can do
20:10
Speaker 2: it better, then what's the point. So my point is
20:13
Speaker 2: my thing is this, Like AI is a fine tool.
20:17
Speaker 2: I don't I'm not against it. The problem is when
20:20
Speaker 2: you start running these things like it's a Madden franchise,
20:23
Speaker 2: you're just setting it up in franchise mode, and that's
20:26
Speaker 2: that and all. And the problem is that, and then
20:30
Speaker 2: it's like they try to make this like a science fair,
20:33
Speaker 2: which is also not great. It's like a science fair,
20:36
Speaker 2: you know, it's it should be a bar fight, not
20:38
Speaker 2: a science fair. As far as I can, the NFL
20:40
Speaker 2: is concerned there, and you AI can measure the wingspan,
20:44
Speaker 2: they can do that. They can say, well, how many
20:46
Speaker 2: jumping jacks can this guy do? Okay, he can do
20:48
Speaker 2: that many. That sounds good. Can this guy do the
20:50
Speaker 2: old flip? I don't know if he can do the flip?
20:52
Speaker 2: Let's find out. We'll ask AI and all that. But
20:56
Speaker 2: you cannot measure. This is the thing AI cannot measure
20:58
Speaker 2: and will never be able to measure, is whether or
21:02
Speaker 2: not player X has any guts or he has that.
21:06
Speaker 2: And you can't measure who's going to panic in front
21:10
Speaker 2: of seventy five thousand people on a Sunday night in
21:13
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter because they have tight Tukas syndrome. There's
21:17
Speaker 2: no AI program that will tell you that is going
21:19
Speaker 2: to happen, right, but it does happen, and oftentimes you
21:24
Speaker 2: find that information out by the scouting community. So it's
21:29
Speaker 2: it's like a chainsaw. Think about It's like a chainsaw,
21:32
Speaker 2: which is useful until you forget it's you know, it's sharp,
21:37
Speaker 2: and then you can get hurt by it. You know
21:39
Speaker 2: you can get hurt by all Right, is the Ben

28:04
Speaker 2: muffin wonderful. Let's go to the phones and see here
28:09
Speaker 2: where do we get? Let's go to Danny. I think
28:12
Speaker 2: this is Danny DeVito, my guy, America's favorite trash man
28:16
Speaker 2: in Boston. Hello Danny. Hello, there he is there, he
28:21
Speaker 2: is there. He is our guy, Danny. What's going on?
28:24
Speaker 4: Man?
28:25
Speaker 3: Oh?
28:25
Speaker 4: I'm doing okay, a couple of things here. There's gonna
28:29
Speaker 4: be a lot of ugly playing next year. And uh,
28:32
Speaker 4: you know for the guy for the teams like Cleveland.
28:35
Speaker 4: What's Cleveland gonna do? Miami? I know he talked from
28:40
Speaker 4: Is he good?
28:40
Speaker 2: Is that gonna be any difference? Is he gonna be
28:42
Speaker 2: any different than it was the last couple of years.
28:44
Speaker 2: They always have bad products out in the field. Why
28:46
Speaker 2: would it be any different?
28:48
Speaker 4: I know I want to see some changes though, then,
28:50
Speaker 4: so let's sick and tired of seeing these coaches. It's
28:52
Speaker 4: just well off the same piece of God. Here's no
28:54
Speaker 4: point intended every single year. I mean, you know, these
28:58
Speaker 4: teams a thebout half doesn't teams that are already dead
29:01
Speaker 4: in the water.
29:02
Speaker 2: I mean, I just because they have no competitive spirit.
29:06
Speaker 2: They think these teams they I would get rid of
29:10
Speaker 2: the draft. They think the only way to salvation is
29:13
Speaker 2: to suck and draft. That's it, that's it. Get rid
29:18
Speaker 2: of get get rid of the draft, because they're just
29:20
Speaker 2: waiting for the game changing quarterback to fall into their
29:25
Speaker 2: lap and it's gonna everything will be fun and we're
29:27
Speaker 2: gonna be great and all. Let's screw you. Go out
29:30
Speaker 2: and figure out how to put a good team on
29:31
Speaker 2: the field without doing that. Hell yeah, yeah.
29:36
Speaker 4: They don't even tried. I mean, they don't even try
29:38
Speaker 4: free agency something, make a couple of trades, maybe make
29:41
Speaker 4: a trade during the regular anything.
29:44
Speaker 2: You're crazy, what's wrong with you? They don't want to
29:47
Speaker 2: do that. You think they actually want to win? No,
29:50
Speaker 2: you can make a lot of money not winning in
29:51
Speaker 2: the NFL. You get the TV money, you sell the
29:54
Speaker 2: tickets and all that. You don't have to worry about
29:56
Speaker 2: the playoffs. And you know they make money. You know
29:58
Speaker 2: they don't worried.
29:59
Speaker 4: About it exactly. And uh, what is my boyhood hero doing?
30:04
Speaker 2: Uh?
30:04
Speaker 4: Ben, you see this? I don't spoke about this. Uh
30:06
Speaker 4: A couple of so Michael Jordan getting touchy there with
30:09
Speaker 4: that kid video.
30:11
Speaker 2: I mean, that's an old day. You're talking about the
30:14
Speaker 2: Daytona five hundred. No, was it said he didn't care? Yeah,
30:19
Speaker 2: that's what he said. Well, I mean Jordan is his boss,
30:21
Speaker 2: you know. But I didn't think it was. Do you
30:22
Speaker 2: think it was that big a deal?
30:24
Speaker 4: I didn't think it was that bigger deal. But he
30:26
Speaker 4: really should be doing that. I mean, I don't know
30:28
Speaker 4: what he's trying.
30:29
Speaker 2: To do there, I mean just being playful whatever. Yeah, yeah,
30:34
Speaker 2: that did he cross the line? And he did Jordan
30:37
Speaker 2: cross the playful line. I didn't think it was.
30:39
Speaker 4: That big I don't think maybe not, But I just
30:42
Speaker 4: don't know why his hand was down around man, I mean.
30:47
Speaker 2: Old, well it's I think it's different with the kid.
30:50
Speaker 2: I don't know, it wasn't it wasn't live. I mean,
30:53
Speaker 2: like to think of it in any direction of something
30:55
Speaker 2: that you wouldn't want being touched in that area, right,
30:57
Speaker 2: like why are you doing that?
30:59
Speaker 1: Yeah?
31:00
Speaker 2: Anything?
31:02
Speaker 4: Really?
31:03
Speaker 3: Nobody?
31:04
Speaker 2: You know? You know, I don't think it was that
31:08
Speaker 2: big a deal? What what? Yes? What?
31:10
Speaker 3: Yeah?
31:11
Speaker 4: Well how about and the other thing I want to
31:13
Speaker 4: talk to you about, Blind Scott. He's taking shots to me.
31:17
Speaker 4: Tell blind Scott, I've been relaxed. I wasn't trying to
31:20
Speaker 4: sell them blame Fred touch it for that. I had
31:22
Speaker 4: no idea.
31:23
Speaker 2: Yes, I will blame anything that is upsetting the blind Scott.
31:27
Speaker 2: I plan on blaming to Fred Toucher, the morning guy
31:30
Speaker 2: there in Boston. I will blame Fred for all of
31:33
Speaker 2: the issues.
31:34
Speaker 4: Yes, I think blind Scott is one of your best.
31:37
Speaker 4: Paul is the guy, the character I have nothing against.
31:41
Speaker 2: All Right, so this is a this is a peace
31:43
Speaker 2: offering from Danny DeVito. All right, very good, Well, thank you.
31:46
Speaker 2: Danny calls more often, buddy, the great Danny DeVito. There
31:49
Speaker 2: there he goes. Let's say it. Paul in Ottawa, Oh,
31:54
Speaker 2: cod uh, what's going on?
31:56
Speaker 3: Paul?
31:56
Speaker 2: Welcome Paul.
31:59
Speaker 3: I'm a carrot muffin man myself.
32:02
Speaker 2: Oh, wash your mouth out with soap and water. Carrot muffin, I'm.
32:08
Speaker 3: Sorry, relatively relatively healthy.
32:11
Speaker 2: No, No, muffin should not be healthy. It's a muffin.
32:17
Speaker 2: Go eat some vegetables. If you don't eat a carrot muffin,
32:21
Speaker 2: that's a terrible take. Carrot muffin, My.
32:25
Speaker 3: God, I find it tasty.
32:27
Speaker 2: But how much sugar do you have to put on
32:29
Speaker 2: that thing?
32:30
Speaker 3: None?
32:31
Speaker 2: Would you eat?
32:31
Speaker 4: No?
32:32
Speaker 2: Are you the kind of guy? These cheerios with no
32:35
Speaker 2: fruit in it and no milk and just no.
32:38
Speaker 3: I actually have a sweet tooth. I love things like
32:40
Speaker 3: pecan pie, but oh.
32:42
Speaker 2: Pecan pie is good. Underrated pie. Pecan pie, underrated pie.
32:46
Speaker 3: With coffee carrot muffin can be good. But I wanted
32:49
Speaker 3: to pick up and reflect on what you said in
32:52
Speaker 3: the first hour about Kyler Murray and then in the
32:55
Speaker 3: second hour about players that are franchised, tagged, and what
33:01
Speaker 3: it seems to me is that they don't seem to
33:04
Speaker 3: appreciate what they have. And Kyler Murray showed I think
33:09
Speaker 3: a degree of contempt for the game that he played
33:12
Speaker 3: because of the way that he you know, with the
33:15
Speaker 3: video games and stuff. And I think when he came
33:18
Speaker 3: into the league he should have had more humility, and
33:21
Speaker 3: once he was in the league, I think he should
33:23
Speaker 3: have had more gratitude. And in my opinion, if you're
33:26
Speaker 3: a professional sports player in the United States, you're one
33:31
Speaker 3: of the luckiest people on the planet, and I think
33:34
Speaker 3: your attitude should reflect that a little bit.
33:37
Speaker 2: And well, Paul, to be fair, though you know that
33:41
Speaker 2: you can count on one hand the amount of people
33:43
Speaker 2: that have humility. There's not very many, you know, well,
33:46
Speaker 2: you know that that's just the way it is. These
33:48
Speaker 2: guys have been tampered and coddled since they were nine
33:51
Speaker 2: years old when they first found somebody's found out they
33:54
Speaker 2: could be good at sports.
33:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I guess humility. Yeah maybe in sports it's
34:00
Speaker 3: not an asset. In some ways, you have to really
34:02
Speaker 3: believe in yourself. But I was thinking about you also
34:06
Speaker 3: said that he might have played baseball, and I was
34:10
Speaker 3: thinking of George f. Will for some reason. He was
34:12
Speaker 3: a baseball writer and a guy who liked politics. He
34:16
Speaker 3: loved the Chicago Cubs. But he said that football was
34:20
Speaker 3: a spectacle, and by that, I think he meant that
34:24
Speaker 3: it was accessible to everybody, whereas baseball is more detailed
34:28
Speaker 3: and you have to really like it or you're going
34:30
Speaker 3: to find it boring. But I like to contrast and
34:33
Speaker 3: compare people sometimes, and I think about Kyler Murray and
34:38
Speaker 3: then I think about Ricky Henderson, and George f. Will
34:42
Speaker 3: advocated for him being considered the best player of his generation.
34:46
Speaker 3: And one thing, whatever you can say about Ricky Henderson,
34:49
Speaker 3: he ate, slept, and breathed baseball. He loved it. He
34:55
Speaker 3: loved the game, and he gave himself to it. And
34:58
Speaker 3: I think that Kyler Murray, he had the opportunity to
35:01
Speaker 3: do that, and he declined, Yeah, no.
35:04
Speaker 2: He wasn't into it. And you know, if he could
35:07
Speaker 2: have made the same amount of money playing baseball right away,
35:09
Speaker 2: he would have gone and played baseball for the Athletics.
35:12
Speaker 2: But he, you know, he did get paid a ton
35:14
Speaker 2: of money. You know, he financially he made the right
35:16
Speaker 2: decision to play in the NFL because he got paid.
35:18
Speaker 2: He got a huge contract, so he made his money
35:20
Speaker 2: and now he can play video games and that's it.
35:24
Speaker 2: Invest wisely, you're good to go, all right, my man, Paul,
35:27
Speaker 2: Thank you, buddy, the great Paul. And outoa there hot
35:30

35:34
Speaker 2: muffin deal. And not for me, not for me. Well,
35:38
Speaker 2: some news out to Aaron Rogers. We are less than
35:43
Speaker 2: two weeks away, allegedly from Aaron Rodgers announcing whether or
35:47
Speaker 2: not he's going to play or not. The story is
35:49
Speaker 2: that Rogers will let the Steelers know. It's either, if
35:53
Speaker 2: you believe state funded NFL media, it's either Aaron Rodgers
35:57
Speaker 2: goes to the Steelers or he doesn't play, and he's
36:00
Speaker 2: going to let them know before the new league year. Begins,
36:04
Speaker 2: which begins. I believe March eleventh. I think I believe

Speaker 2: I'm right on that close to that. It's just around
36:10
Speaker 2: the corner. Yeah, right around the course. Today's March second,
36:12
Speaker 2: So we're not that far away from finding out. Do
36:15
Speaker 2: you think Aaron will announce it himself or his wife
36:17
Speaker 2: will announce it? I don't know it to be amazing
36:20
Speaker 2: if she would announce it. Maybe she's already announced it
36:22

Speaker 2: He said this, and he's got a beautiful girlfriend. He said,
37:00

37:26
Speaker 2: all right, all right, she's trying to step back from that,
37:29
Speaker 2: but she says that may have taken down a couple
37:32
Speaker 2: of dudes. All Right, there you go, dream killer, Jeter

Speaker 2: did it the grid. Jeter waited and Jeter had fun,
37:38

40:31
Speaker 5: Former Arkansas quarterback Taylor Green had a store combine over
40:34
Speaker 5: the weekend.
40:34
Speaker 2: He shattered some records. Ben, do you think this will
40:36
Speaker 2: help him climb up draft boards. No, because it's it's
40:40
Speaker 2: not you know, he wasn't that great at Arkansas, and
40:44
Speaker 2: if he's it's the underwear Olympics, right, It's not the
40:48
Speaker 2: skills necessarily that matter to dominate at quarterbacks. I'm gonna
40:52
Speaker 2: go no, it's nice that you did all that stuff,

Speaker 2: I think he should be a mid round draft pick.
41:11
Speaker 2: They're talking about him being drafted in the first round.
41:13
Speaker 2: I think that would be that would be a little
41:15
Speaker 2: bit of much. I don't think he's gonna be anything
41:17
Speaker 2: more than an average NFL quarterback.
41:19
Speaker 5: Next, the Celtics have won eight of their last ten
41:21
Speaker 5: games twenty games above five hundred without Jason Tatum. Is

41:33
Speaker 2: In the NBA at this point, and there's only like
41:36
Speaker 2: another month and some change to go, so it's down

41:42
Speaker 3: That's a
