• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and out podcast, brought to you by my friends at
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Zone Pouches. Well, I recorded a podcast early afternoon, and
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: then as I was heading with my wife to this
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: baby check up appointment, I got forwarded a bunch of
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: tweets that John Harbaugh had been fired. So I went
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: to the appointment, came back, re recorded the open, and
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: reacted to the John Harbaugh situation, because, let's face it,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the biggest story of the day, and even though we
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: had been talking about it and alluding to it a
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: little on the podcast, a lot of you guys dms,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: it's still wild. When you actually read that he got fired,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: it was wow. So we'll dive into just my quick
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: reaction to it, as well as some other stuff that
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: happened today. Eberflu's fired, Kingsbury fired. We will talk some
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: college football, some I saw on the internet, just like
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: this place really is insane right now as well, something
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I wanted to start doing like once a week. As
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: someone who's about to have a child, I'm just gonna
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: see a lot of things, observe a lot of things,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: have a lot of takes. So I thought, you know,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: let's let's mix in the Dad Diaries and we're gonna
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: try to do that. Well, just who knows it'll it'll
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: change week to week. But I wanted to dabble today
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: as well as a little mail bag at John Middlecoff.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: At John Middlecoff is the Instagram. Fire in those dms
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: and get your questions answered on the show. So make
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: sure you subscribe to the podcast. If you listen on
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Collins Feed, make sure you subscribe to our YouTube channel.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I just got a text message. We got a Netflix
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: marketing meeting later this week. So as I get information,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I'll give it to you. We'll be live Friday, We'll
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: be live Thursday, Saturday, Sunday. Obviously college football, the NFL.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: We we got a lot of games coming and we'll
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: be reacting to it, recording podcasts on the YouTube than
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: we obviously do here on the audio. But let's I guess,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: let's just dive into John Harbaugh. I mean, my first reaction,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: even though we had talked about it a little bit
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: and it was on the table as a possibility, and
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I think I had said on Sunday night when they
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: lost the game, which I mean, there are a couple
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: of feet away from winning the game. Maybe not a
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: couple of feet, a couple of yards. It was a bad kick. Obviously,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: John Harball would have been coaching this week, been there
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: eighteen years. There's no other reaction when you actually see
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: it than wow, Right, Mike Tomlin or John Harbaugh, the
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: two longest tenured coaches in the league. If one of
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: them lose their job. We've been talking about Tomlin for years,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: but we never believe it's actually gonna happen, even John Harbaugh.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I didn't expect John Harbaugh to get fun So it's
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: one of those things like Jonathan Gannon got fired. No shit,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Stefanski got run out of town. Saw that one coming.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Pete Carroll won and done. Seriously, they could have done
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: that three months ago. This one is pretty crazy. I
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: mean it really is. He's a couple of years removed.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: They had the number one overall seed. They were hosting
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs in the AFC Championship. They were statistically easily
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the best team in the league. The Chiefs ended up
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: beating the Niners. They had played the Niners on Christmas
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and housed them. They were favored in that game. I
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: know because I bet on them, which cost me five g's,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: which did suck a lot, but I had so much
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: faith on that team after watching them on that Christmas
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: night against a really good Niners team, and they treated
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: him like a JV team. A couple of years later,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: he's fired. And these are moments that you know, firing
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Stefanski or Jonathan Gannon like, the owners like him, but
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: it's not that big a deal for the organization. Firing
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Brian Dabo he'd been there like three and a half years.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Firing guy that had been there eighteen years, who you've
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: not only obviously won the Super Bowl a long time
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: ago with, but had been the leader of one of
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the most consistent operations in the league is a really,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: really big deal. So I think I speak from most
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: people that I don't know how your first reaction wasn't Wow,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: they actually did it, and I just took some notes
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: of just my initial thoughts. Obviously, there are a lot
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: of rumors coming out that they wanted him to fire
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: the OC, and it's one of those you know, if
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: that's true, prideful guy like, I'm not doing that, So
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: not saying it was Lamar versus Harbaugh, but it was
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: a little like, yeah, we want to change for Lamar
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: on offense, and John said no, which there's going to
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: be more stories and more inside articles I would imagine
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: written over the next week on some of the details
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: with this Lamar situation, John Harbaugh's views on it, the
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: organization's views on the offense. But right now I don't know.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I don't have any inside information, but it's clear, in
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: a roundabout way, became Lamar versus the coaching staff's philosophy
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: with offense. And listen, you watch that game offensively, it's
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: just it's been a little weird. The Derrick Henry thing
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: was weird. When he got benched. In the next week
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: he runs for two hundred yards and it's just it's
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: ben bizarre that there's no way around it. And let
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: me say this, I'm not saying, you know, they're not
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: justified in doing this. Eighteen years a long time. Maybe
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: it's time for a change, Maybe it's time to mix
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: it up. Is it gonna be hard to replace? John
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: harbaught on because more than likely, statistics would show you
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: you're gonna downgrade. That's the way it works now. Unlike
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: his brother, they're probably not gonna go to Jim tom
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Sula because the other thing I wrote down, and we'll
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: get into John here in a second. This this is twofold.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: He immediately becomes the best coach on the market by
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: a country mile. I mean, it ain't even close. He
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: is the number one candidate, and there's not even there's
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: not even a gap between second. He can't even see
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the Stefanskis and the Solace and those fucking guys can't
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: even see him with binoculars, the best deer hunting scope.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: You couldn't even find him. So he is the number
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: one candidate by a mile. Chefter tweeted out seven teams
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: in the first forty five minutes, called his agent, well,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: there aren't seven openings, so they are gonna be teams
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: that would be firing their coach to hire John Harball,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: which I've said it for Mike Tomlin forever. Like those
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: two guys, if they ever became available, run circles around
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the other candidates. They are immediate hires for all these teams.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Hell John Harbaugh. Like say some of the franchises out loud,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: think John Harbaugh would never coach the Arizona Cardinals. John
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Harbaugh would never coach the Tennessee Titans, Like I can't
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: even see John Harbaugh coach in the Atlanta Falcons, though
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: if I'm in Atlanta, I'd be all over them. Like,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: let's face it, he feels like a New York Giant,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: and at this point in time, it'd be shocking if
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: he's not the head coach of the New York Giants.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: And I also think the Baltimore Ravens immediately lap all
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: these clown organizations are the best option by They're the
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: number one job on the market and it's not even close.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: They have an established quarterback, they have an established culture,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: they have a consistency of drafting well with DaCosta and Nazi.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: They have an owner that is stable and not like
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of these clowns that have no clue what
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: he's doing. He knows what it looks like. He will
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: stand with you through thick and thin. I mean eighteen years.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: That's a long freaking time. I saw right now, Andy
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: reads the longest tenure or Tomlin technically is right oh seven,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: assuming that he keeps his job. But let's you know,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: who knows this week, what if they get blown out
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: by the Texans that Tomlin and then it goes Andy
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, you're all like Kyle
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: and McVeigh. So this is a league that runs through
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: these guys like you know, I run through paper towels,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and guys like John Harbaugh. They are they don't come often,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: and he's going to get a job. Listen, I understand
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the Rooney rule, and I mean Mike Tomlin benefited from
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: it because they just interviewed him and loved him and
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: got the job. You should not have to interview If
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I'm the Giants and I want to hire John Harbaugh
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: to be my head coach, I've said this forever. There
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: has to be some sort of stipulation, like if you've
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl, I don't need to go through
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and interview people just to interview people. If I want
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: to hire him, I should be able to hire him yesterday.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: And I would say this if I'm Joe Shane, that
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: would be a problem because that would not guarantee your employment.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: If John Harbaugh has like the Ravens guys, one thing
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: they're really good at is producing personnel people. Google Azzi's
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: tree is basically like the opposite of you know, Belichick's
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: coaching tree. So you see Joe Ortiz immediately go with
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: John or Jim Harbaugh. He's good at his job, right,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: He's just good at his job. So if John's like, hey,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I got a guy like like Joe, it wouldn't be
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Joe Ortiz, but someone like that that I want to
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: bring with me. Joe Shane's getting the pink slip and
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: he's done. It happens like that, And like, I don't
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: think there should have to be some charade, Like I
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: get it with most of these co you have to interview,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: like Robert Salas and Matt Naggi's like, you have to
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: follow the rules, right, But John Harbaugh, there should be
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: no I want to hire John Harbaugh. I'm hiring anora.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: That should be allowed because if I was the Giants,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: like I'd want to be hired yesterday. And I think
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: it makes a lot of sense with his personality, with
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: that that region of the country he's comfortable in. Uh,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: if I was a betting man right now, John Harbaugh
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: would be the next coach in the New York Giants.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: And to go from the situation they've been in, if
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: that comes to fruition, you should be like, think of
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the guy Pat Shermer's and mcadoo's and the dable the
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: situation the way that Joe Judge. I mean, give me
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: a break, it would it would. He's older, though the
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Hardballs feel a little younger. I mean, I think John's
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: like sixty three, uh, would be a pretty big game
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: changer for the culture of the organization. It would have
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: a Coughlin type vibe. So and the Ravens. I saw
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah, who obviously works with all these He works
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: for the Chargers as their radio play or analysts with
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: the play by play guy Matt Muney Smith, like jesse Mentor,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: you know Mike McDonald, jesse Mintor were creations of the
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Raven operation, and by all accounts, jesse Mentor is a star. Well,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: if anyone's gonna know that it's the Harbaugh family, now,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: is it a little weird to replace John. I also
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: think when you read John's statement one, you don't get
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: fired in that statement on that like Adobe Canva, like
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: they've known this was heading that way potentially. But if
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: you know so, maybe there's not as much bad blood
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: as there would be for most of us humans if
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: we got fired or relieved of our duties. But I
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: do think that jesse Mentor would be a name that
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I'd be stunned if he's not one of their lead
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: candidates and he doesn't end up his the Ravens job.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: But if I were all these guys that are sniffing
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: around on jobs, that would be the number one job
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: and it wouldn't even be close. Right. That's what's crazy
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: about this situation is the guy you fired immediately the
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: best candidate, and your job is immediately the best job.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: And I think now it kind of puts a lot
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: of pressure on this Lamar situation for you know, because
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: they're judged the Ravens are judged on the playoffs at
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: this point in time. That's and that's is a difficult job. Right.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: You get hired, you're expected to not only make the playoffs,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: but like, can we win a super Bowl? Now? Can
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: we get back to the super Bowl? And that's that's
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: not like you go to the Titans, you win six games, shit,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: they give you an extension. You went to the Giants,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: you went nine to eight back to back years. John Morrow,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: buy a beach house, right, you you go to the Cardinals,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: if you just beat McVeigh or Kyle once in a while, Jonathan,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: you know, Michael Bidwell buying a golf membership here silver Leaf.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: So that's not the case with the Ravens. You get hired,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: you're expected to win, You're expected to win big. And
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: John Harbaugh went to the playoffs a lot, right, and
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: he had some devastating losses. That comes with the territory.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I would say none was a bigger pivotal moment in
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: his career then that Chiefs lost at home a couple
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: of years ago. You know, I think, listen, we can
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: make fun the butterfly effect of the kid missing the
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: kick on Sunday Night, which obviously was big. Now, if
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: he refused to fire Munken and that was not gonna change,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: then he was probably getting fired no matter what, unless
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: he won the Super Bowl. But that moment a couple
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: of years ago, he beats the Chiefs in that game,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I just think they're winning the super Bowl and you're
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: looking at a two T like he's he's kind of untouchable.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: And this back and forth or the ad odds a
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: little bit with the quarterback and the scheme and the
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: coaches would have as much juice as him, and he doesn't.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Right now, he simply doesn't. Right, So crazy moment, I
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: mean one of those stories that it's just wild when
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: you see it, and Tomlin would be the same thing.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: It's just wow, seismic earthquake that just erupts through the NFL.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: And I think it gets back to the schefter thing
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: of him tweeting out that you have teams with coaches
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: talking to them like teams with coaches aren't. Like, can
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I interview Robert Sala? You know, and listen. I'm not
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: trying to shit on Roberts. I like Robert saw a lot,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: but he's clearly gonna be one of the top candidates
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: this cycle. There are certain coaches Mike Tomlin is one
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: of those guys too. If they were available, teams with
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: coaches go, I want to get rid of my guy
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: to hire that guy, And I don't even I would
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: imagine that could be the the Bucks. If I'm Jason
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: light like, I would you rather have John Harbor or
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Tom Bowles. I'm just trying thinking off the cuff. Jerry
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: probably not. John's too famous. Whose do the Bengals never would?
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Who are teams that missed the playoffs? Commanders? Where does
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Josh Harris come from the NBA? What are you always
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: chasing stars? Big names? Of coaches. Look at who he's
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: hired at coaches, Doc Rivers, Nick Nurse, you know, champion
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: type guys. He's looking at dan Quinn. Would you rather
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: have Dan Quinn or John Harbaugh? Would not shock me
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: at all if the Commanders and Tampa Bay Bucks were
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: two teams with teams that reached out. And I'm not
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: talking about their gms, I'm talking with the owners. What
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: did the Glaziers once upon an end to trade for Gruden?
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Look at Josh Harris who's hired as coaches of his
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: NBA team. Look at what they've chased with their NBA
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: team with players. Look at today they got rid of
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: their two coordinators. Just say, you get the fuck out
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: of here. Guys were the coordinators last year when they
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: were in the NFC Championship game with the least talented
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: roster we've ever seen make it that far. So this
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: league's crazy, and today was truly one of those moments
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: that we don't get enough of it that makes you
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: go wow. Today's show is brought to you by our
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: presenting sponsor, hard Rock Bet, the official sportsbook partner of
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: the AFC South champion Jacksonville Jaguars. Duval Is going to
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: be jacked up this weekend. You know what I love
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: doing with these standalone playoff games, same game parlays, baby,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Lock in one matchup at a time, and stack your picks.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Maybe a quarterback throws a two hundred and fifty yards,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: maybe a running back hits one hundred tight end punches
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: in a touchdown. Got you covered? And if you miskickoff,

  Speaker 1: New Jersey, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia. Let's dive into the previous
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: recorded part of the podcast, But I did want to
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: start with the Dallas Cowboys, and they fired Matt Eberflus,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: who sent out a press released and said we released
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Matt Eberflus like he's a player. No, no, Jerry, you
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: fired Matt Eberflus. And I think this happens a lot
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: in football when coaches don't have much juice. Probably happens
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: to a lot of industries when you have more poll
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: whoever you're working for or with, let you do what
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: you want to do. When you don't have much pull
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: and you don't have much leverage. We just saw it
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: with Pete Carroll. You think Pikroll wanted to hire Chip Kelly. No,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: but Pete Carroll didn't have any leverage, you know in
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, so he had to work with him
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: and Brian Schottenheimer probably had the least amount of leverage
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: in like the history of the NFL. So think about this.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Matt Eberflus had worked for the Dallas Cowboys before he
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: went to the Colts and then the Bears. Right remember
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels when he took herned down the job in
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Indy hired Eberflus before he even got there. So eber
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Flus was waiting in his office. He never showed. But
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I think the thing with eber Flus is one he's
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: not very good. I've never seen it. You know, you
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: watch the hard Knocks. He comes across as no jews.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know, some just off. You know there's something
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: and you can overrate hard knocks all you want. There
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: is a judgment on like I feel this guy's presence.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I see this right, you know it, knew it right away,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: like Bill O'Brien's presence, Dan Campbell's presence. You watch Matt
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: eberflusch like, what is this and the irin is he's
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: a Saban guy played for Saban at Kent State, Like
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: they're pretty close, and he just thinks. But here's the
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: thing about Brian shotten Neer, while their record isn't great,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: kind of proved to Jerry, like I can be a
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: head coach and I definitely can run the offense because
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: the offense was awesome. I don't know, I didn't even
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: see the final stats Sunday with such a joke. I mean,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, I guess he probably didn't cause Stafford probably
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: bypassed him, but had led league in yards. Their offense
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: for most of the year was really good. The defense
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: was atrocious. There is no way of Brian Schottenheimer had
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: his choice, he would have hired Ebraflus. That is your
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: classic we're telling you who to hire. Happens all across
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: the league when gms have a lot of juice, When
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: owners don't trust the coach, they force guys on their
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: coaching staff. You know, it's something that it's rarely reported
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: when guys are hired because you don't want to know.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: And like, well, the owner forced me to hire this
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: offensive or defensive coordinator. Definitely wouldn't have been my first hire.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: But you feel it when a guy's fired, and to me,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: that shows that like Brian Schottenheimer kind of gained a
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: little bit of juice. It's crazy to say because the
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Cowboys weren't that good, but I do think his offensive
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: prowess and let's face it, handles himself I thought pretty
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: well in kind of a weird circumstance to be like,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: this guy's got to go. And you could tell the
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: way Jerry was talking like two or three weeks ago
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: when one of his postgame press conference is like, yeah,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Eberflus came really highly re I commended. It's like Jerry,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: he worked for you, like you knew him. So I
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: just think sometimes these guys the NFL, you know, has
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: turned that there's a scam element to it. There always
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: has been, but now with the money on the line,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: you know, I just saw we'll get into Cliff Kingsbury,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: who is now being paid by three different organizations, three
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: different organizations. In the real world, like outside of football,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: you would get to the point where people start suing you,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: you know, and these coaches like Cliff Kingsbury all time
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: scam artist. I mean, I've never seen it with Cliff,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: and this is nothing personal. It seems like a great guy,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: hard worker. Everyone likes him personally. I think his offense,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: I mean makes me want to puke in my mouth.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: He's had a slight moment of brilliance for the Cardinals,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: and two years ago it's like they were touched by
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: the gods. They were like ninety five percent on fourth downs,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: which is never sustainable. And obviously they had a bunch
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: of injuries. But he got ran out of town real quick.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: And no one has a better pr campaign than Cliff.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Like a month ago, people were like, oh, Cliff Kingsbury
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: is gonna be interviewing for head coaching jobs. You know
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: why that came out because it was pretty clear Washington
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: was gonna fire him. You can tell me you mutually departed,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: give me a break. That means fired. We've seen that
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: for years. Jim Harball once famously mutually departed with the
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers. A month later, it's like, yeah, they
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: fired me, of course they did. Cliff Kingsbury was just fired. Now.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: I'd also say like kind of chaotic and this we
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: just talked about Brian Schottenheimer. The one thing you get
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: with Brian Schottenheimer, and these two teams are in the
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: same division, more than likely are gonna be competing for
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: second place next year behind the Eagles. Is one thing
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: you get with Brian is like, I know he's calling
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: the offense. I know him and Dak and whoever you
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: bring in, it's his scheme, it's his baby, that's his thing. Well,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: dan Quinn's like, this defensive guy didn't even call defense
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: until he took it over Midseas. What's kind of why
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: he got back in the good graces of everybody in Dallas.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: He was kicking ass the defensive coordinator, and I think
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: that also undid Ebraflus because Jerry a couple of years
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: ago saw what a great defensive coordinator looks like, making
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: kind of random guys become really good players. Kingsbury, I
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: mean to me, he's got a Chip Kelly thing to him.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: The name is way bigger than the ROI you get.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: The name's really famous, and obviously Cliff's a good looking dude.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: But when it comes to offensive prowess, good defenses are
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: licking their lips to play that guy. And you can
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: tell me Jayden was banged up this year, and that
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: is true. But if you want Cliff Kingsbury to be
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: your offensive coordinator and call your plays, I will short
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: your organization in the National Football League. I would say
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: the same thing for Chip Kelly. And you know clearly
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: if you are going. And here's the thing with Cliff,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: like when you get a guy like Jayden who the
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: question mark is now, it's like, we got to keep
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: him healthy. We gotta be careful with him. He could
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: be a little reckless. We'll see easiest way to keep
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: him healthy. Run the football, have a run oriented operation.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: And I would imagine Dan Quinn and this listen, Adam
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Peters had a front row seat for a long time
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: for Kyle Shanahan and you know that offense, and you
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: just have to wonder, like, you know, Lafloor's not the
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: packer one, but the brother who's now Mike, who's with
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: the Jets and who is now with the Rams under McVeigh,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Like I wonder if he will want to institute something
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: like that, some version of that for jayde And why
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: because it's not only quarterback friendly, it's keep your quarterback,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: you know, away from chaos, a lot of play action
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: stuff and obviously running the ball as paramount, but Washington,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Like I think Dan Quinn is immediately on the odd
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: seat because this team was the oldest team in the NFL.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Some of the guys like Deebo Samuel's a free agent.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: You know, Bobby Wagner who had to play all season long,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: all time great player, legendary player. I mean, he had
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: no business being on the field this year. Couldn't move
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: and it's a space league, so you're you know, you're
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: playing in the open field, and he just couldn't cover
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: a soul, he couldn't change direction. It was it was
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: tough to watch. If it was just a run play downhill,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: he could make it. But most of the plays in
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: the NFL get you going laterally and you kind of
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: felt bad watching it. But that's on the organization. And
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: now you fire the defensive coordinator as well. Here's what
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: head coaches always do. They start pointing the finger. And
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: what's crazy to me is last year everything was great,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: and then this year that these guys just forget how
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: to coach football. Or are you kind of admitting, like, eah,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: we's never really believed in these guys from the jump.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: But listen, Washington, we thought had turned the corner when
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: they hired Adam, when they hired Dan Quinn, they got
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: this new ownership. This year was pretty chaotic and now
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: they're blowing out people left and right. So the owner
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: comes from the NBA, in a sport that gets very
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: used to firing coaches, the seventy six yers, they will
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: not hesitate shit cand of people, so he ain't afraid
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: to pay people to go away. And the one thing
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, especially when you have a young quarterback stability. Well,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Jane Daniels on his second offensive coordinator now in three years,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: and he's coming off an injury riddled year. So whoever
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: they hire, whatever system that they implement, is going to
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: be extremely important for the long term health of Jane
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Daniel's career. Which is crazy because last year he looked
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: like a superstar and this year just fell apart every
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: you know which way from the jump. It felt like
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: he was injured from the jump and never looked right
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: when he played. And last on the ownership front, I
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: watched some of Carly Ursay's press conference pretty clear and listen,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: not everyone's a good public speaker. I totally get it.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: My brother, who can do so many things that I
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: can't dream of doing could barely speak at my wedding
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: to give a speech. He was so nervos couldn't even
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: eat his dinner. And so it's like, there are certain
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: things I can't relate to. Carly Ursay not a great
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: public speaker, but like I've seen it, Like I don't
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: judge you on that. Not everyone's comfortable speaking in front
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: of people. That doesn't make or break you as a
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: quote unquote leader to be not comfortable in front of
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: the press, and in twenty twenty five owners rarely talk anyway.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: But I just tried to take away her words and
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: she didn't really have any Like she couldn't really justify Beside,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: she likes Chris Ballard and she thinks Shane Sichen's good
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: at his job. And obviously Chris Ballard's gone nine plus years,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: has a woner division has been in the playoffs. I
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: think I saw someone say it's seven years. That was
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: like Luck's last healthy year playing. And I got an
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: interesting text from a buddy in the NFL about the Colts,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: and I think They're bigger issue is the team has
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of question marks. You know, obviously the quarterback
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: situation is a disaster. The guy that was gonna resurrect
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: their franchise just because he was competent. Has a torn
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: achilles and he is a broken leg, but so obviously
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Anthony Rigton is not to be on this team next year.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: There is even said with Kirk Cousins, who now granted
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: he was older but not mobile. Cousins looked way better
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: this year than he did last year. So to think
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: that Daniel Jones, these guys, if they don't make the
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: playoffs next year, they're just both getting fired, no matter
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: how much he likes him or not, because there's too
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: much fan pressure and you can tell they're putting out statements.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: She's trying to, you know, say all the right things,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: but people are pissed because this team just always sucks
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: and not suck enough where it's like, okay, we bottomed out.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: We can get Fernando Mendoza, like always kind of in
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: the middle, like seven, eight, nine wins, just get going
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: nowhere fast. And a buddy sent me this. He's like,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: they're in a tough spot. This is a guy that
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: works in the league. Pittman has regressed. Taylor will want
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: a contract. Lat too decent but not huge impact. Buck
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: and Grover getting older, and I look Jonathan Taylor's contract,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: it was built so if it had gone wrong, they
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: could have got out this year. So the guaranteed money
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: starts changing. So when you're a great player, it's like, well,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: I want my more guaranteed money now, and it's not, well,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: well we haven't been winning. They don't care, and I
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: don't blame them for not care. You gotta take advantage.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: That's the business you're in. But I think the Colts now.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: The other thing that's scary is the Texas are solid
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: right Casario Demiico, their infrastructure, their young players like they're
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: going nowhere. But to me, the Jags, it's like, well,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: they don't feel like they're going anywhere either. So it's like, uh,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: are we sure Daniel Jones is gonna be ready to play?
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: What if Jonathan Taylor wants, you know, twenty five million
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: dollars a year. We don't have a first round pick.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: I forgot to mention that we do not have a
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: first round pick for the next two years because of
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: the Sauce Gardener trade. And listen, if Sauce is healthy,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: it obviously gives us a really good corner. But ideally
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: that was gonna go with Charvarius Ward, who's also a
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: good corner, would give us one of the best defensive
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: backfields in the you know, the league when it comes
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: to starting corners. Charvarius' dad, and I don't even blame him,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: wants him to retire. I think he got three concussions
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: this year and he had a unch when he was
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: with the forty nine ers, like it's a problem. So
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: you have this situation where you're all in unsauce. You
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: need him to be a star because you just trade
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: the first round picks and the guy you were gonna
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: pair him with has a serious concussion issue. And there's
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, who knows. It's his decision, But wouldn't shock
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: anybody if he just calls her quits. So I think
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: if you're a Colts fan, you go listen. Jim Irsay
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: was losing his marbles towards the end. It was impulsive,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: But you have this, you know, his daughter now in
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: this situation where she has a really close relationship with
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Chris Ballard, and Chris even said, I guess he told
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: her like last year, I don't ever want our relationship
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: to impact your view on my performance, which is easy
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: for him to stay out loud makes him seem like
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: good guy and listen. I've never heard a bad word
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: about Chris, but most people will get fired in his situation.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: And I think it's safe to say if Pops was
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: still around, you know, in his you know, before the
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: last couple of years really fell off a cliff, I
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: think Chris would have been done and he survived because
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say she likes him personally.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: The transfer portal, I think this is fascinating. Twenty five
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: percent of Division one A football players are in the portal.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: I heard a stat there are enough players in the
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: portal to fill every SEC roster. I'm not a huge
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: like it's broken, it needs a change. I'm kind of
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: entertained by it all. I just talked to a buddy
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: who I'm trying to help a guy's son land somewhere,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: former big recruit who you know, got four you know.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Part of the transfer portal now is like when I
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: worked at frisone State. I remember Pat Hill, there would
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: have been twelve fifteen guys a year he just would
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: have cut right. That were just shittheads that wouldn't listen
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: that I'm not even talking because they were bad players.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: And some of that as well, Like you miss on
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: recruits you could, you weren't allowed to do that really,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: right if they were in good academic standing, you kind
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: of just had to stick with him and you couldn't
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: just get rid of the scholarship, so you ended up
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: keeping them around anyway. Now, what happens. I just saw
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Arch Manning's roommate, a wide receiver. It happens all over
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: the country, and I know someone personally that happened to.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: The coach comes to you and it's typically a younger
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: player and says, you're never gonna play here. You are
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: not welcome on the team anymore. Now legally they have
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: to honor your scholarship, so they say you can stay
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: on campus and we you know, at Texas, at Arizona,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: at wherever, and you can stay on scholarship and just
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: go to school, but you are no longer on the
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: football team. That is something over the last couple of
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: years that did not exist in college football. Maybe like
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Saban could push a guy out, you know, a big
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: time coach could because a big recruit like you're never
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: gonna play here, and kind of force his hand, but
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: not like now or just you can just legitimately tell
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: a guy you need to leave. It happens in the
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: NFL all the time. You're just you're cut, right, we're
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: cutting or releasing you, kind of like Eberflus leasing you.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: And it happens now. It happens in college football left
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: and right. So a lot of these guys in the portal,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: some of them are going in to try to get
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: more money. A lot of them, especially younger ones, are
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: told you're not good enough, you're not welcome here. Also,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: we want to go into the portal and get an
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: older guy. Rick Patino said this a couple of years ago.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: High school kids are in major trouble, and it's no
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: different in college football. Because if you're a college football
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: coach trying to win in twenty twenty six, it's my
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: thing with Lincoln Riley, it's like he's getting a lot
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: of credit and he's got this new stud GM that
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: has the number one recruiting class in the country. Historically,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: that's a massive deal. I'd say in twenty twenty six,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: it's never meant less. Ideally you hit on a couple
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: of those guys, But in like two years, if a
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: guy's not playing or what he might just leave Hell
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: in a year he can leave. So I think this
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: situation is pretty crazy. But I will also say this forever,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: it's been like my child just it's not gonna play
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: college football. Just be realistic before it even pops out.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: But a lot of people that thought their child had
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: a chance at college athletics, it was because they got
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: free college. Right. I want to get my son a scholarship,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: get my daughter a scholarship, so they go to school
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: for free, big deal. I mean, it saves you a
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: lot of money. I don't blame anyone for thinking that,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: even though a tiny tiny percent of kids actually go
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: to college to you know, to get a full ride,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: and then a tiny tiny percent of those guys go
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: on to play professional sports. Well. Chris Vanini, who covers
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: college football for The Athletic, I saw he posted this
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: tweet because he wrote an article that quarterbacks now starting
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the power for on the low end or
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: making a million, and on the high end are making
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: up four to five million dollars. I just talked to
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: a college coach today actually, and he was laughing. He says,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: it's crazy that if you are if someone tells you, like, hey,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be a fourth round pick. Historically, a lot
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: of guys I'm leaving. I'm going pro now. It's like
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm not taking a pay cut, and they stay.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: He's like, I bet die I said, Diego Pavio would
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: play college football if he could till he's like thirty
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: eight years old. He'd be like Aaron Rodgers of Vanderbilt
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: in the SEC. I never really, I don't blame him.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, you start making seven figures, like, I don't
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: want to give this up. I don't want to take
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: a pay cut, go into the real world and quarterbacks.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, I just saw that Sam Levitt. I don't
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: think he's officially signed, but there were rumors that go
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: to Kentucky for five million dollars. I saw a great
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: tweet like there's never been greater proof that we printed
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: too much money. I agree, and I'm not anti anyone
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: making money. It seems like I remember Jackson Arnold last
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: year went to Auburn for like three four million dollars.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: It's like, what are we doing? Uh? You know, edge
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: rushers on the low end are going for half a
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: mill on the high end or going for two million.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Offensive tackles, which obviously should you know, go for a lot,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: same thing going up for two million dollars and on
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: the low end six to seven hundred thousand dollars. There
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: has never ever been a better time to be a athlete.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: And it's not even close. Obviously, popularity for college football
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: is at an all time high. Ratings are through the
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: roof the college Football Playoff. But forever it was a
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: really big deal, like I played We all know these people.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: I'm forty years old. Like got a buddy, you played
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: it usc with Pete Carroll, Got a buddy you played it,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: you know in Iowa for Kirk Farence. Now he runs
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: a bank, or now he's the number one sales guy
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: for this medical device company. We all know these people.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: But nowadays, if you just even if you don't sniff
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: going pro, you're gonna make hundreds of thousands of dollars
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: if you're playing Division one football. And let's face it,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: a lot of these guys. For every you know Bane
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: or Caleb Downs or all the sweet players, even the
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: good starters on the good teams, there are a lot
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: of below average guys who are cashing in. And you know,
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: for these parents that used to force their kid like lift, weights,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: eat right, all that stuff. I think this stuff's only
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: getting crazier. It's only gonna get crazy because it's like, yeah,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: we don't even who cares if we even go pro?
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: If we could make several million dollars in our late
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: teens and early twenties. I'm still kind of at a loss.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: What are these guys doing with all this money? Like
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: you spend so much time in the fall playing football meetings,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: practice lifting, sleeping. I mean, you don't have that much
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: time in the day. And a lot of these towns
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: are small. There wouldn't even be anything to spend a
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: lot of money on. It's not like you're gonna buy
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: some you know, million dollar house there. You're you're only
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: there for a couple of years. I hope a lot
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: of these guys which I wouldn't have I don't even
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: know what I would have blown it on, but it
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: would have been the dumbest shit possible. I mean, I
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: can't even like rent out a movie theater to play
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Call of Duty for the week with all my buddies.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: You can go unlimited food. I mean you would you
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: would just think of the stupidest stuff ever. Obviously, on
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: top of any time you went out, you would pay
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: for everything. But these cats are living well. Man. Most
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: of us when we were in college drinking natty lights
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: and you know, pop off vodka out of a plastic bottle.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Not anymore. They are drinking top shelf good stuff, eating well.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: I mean the amount of college kids historically that eat
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: just Chipotle and McDonald's and just whatever's cheap. These dudes
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: are going to the steakhouse five nights a week. So
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: props to them forgetting the cash, and props to some
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: of these coaches that can you know, I guess just
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: get rid of guys. I did want to start something
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: new as someone. I'm recording this on Tuesday, kind of
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: a little after lunch. We have a doctor's appointment to
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: find out if the baby is flipped right now. Obviously,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: the head's up, and for those of you non parents
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: or non future parents are in the mix, I wouldn't
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: even have known this either. The head's gotta be down
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: for the baby to come out naturally. If the head
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: is up, you gotta open up the belly and take
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: the baby out. Turns out my baby or future son
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: has a ninety percent dome big head. I got a
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: big head too, so I don't know, you know, if
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: she you know, she's only she's like five to five,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: so it's not like she's super long for the baby
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: to move around. So pretty good chance. Next Thursday we
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: will be having this baby. And I said, you know,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: as we transition to Netflix, gotta mix it up and
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: have a little fun. So I'm gonna notice so much
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: stuff with being a father, doing stuff funny, serious things
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: that pissed me off. Everything around the kid too. I'm
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: not even specifically talking about the human being. I'm just
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: talking about everything that surrounds the baby. We went to
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: this pediatrician the other day, like another couple, and he
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: was telling us all this stuff. It's just so much
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: stuff that is not even out of your comfort zone,
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: but you couldn't even fathom what you're getting involved in,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: which is it's also fun. But I thought, let's just
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: write down things that I think or things that I
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: want to rant on and call it the Dad Diaries
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: because a lot of you guys are fathers out there,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: some of you have older kids that can relate to this.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: I want to start with this because I was born
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty four and most people in my life
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: up until about high school, were all like similar, Like
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: I guess middle class just normal and middle class. Back then,
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: people making thirty forty grand a year, like, most people
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: all kind of on the same level. So whether you
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: made thirty grand or sixty grand, like, everyone was kind
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: of the same. I didn't know people that were multi millionaires.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: But the thing was that every kid looked the same
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: if you just went around, most of us had a
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: couple pair of shorts, couple shirts, maybe a pair of shoes. Honestly,
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: up until I was like in high school, I feel
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: like it didn't have that many clothes. I would wear
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of like my high school football teams T
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: shirts that we got, or I was on the golf team,
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: like colored shirts they'd give us. I had a couple
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: pair of shorts, pair of Nike sh use maybe I
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: mean a couple of hats. I feel like most kids
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: in my generation, like the eighties and the nineties, we
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: all kind of looked the same, unless you were like
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know, like a Trump or some really rich
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: person like dressed up. I felt like I wore the
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: same clothes as everyone else I was around, Like I
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: went to high school. You look back at some pictures
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: we were all wearing the same stuff. My unmorn child,
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: he has not even come out yet, easily has more
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: clothes in his room. And I would say eighty percent
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: we have purchased. My mother in law came down with
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: two suitcases because like her cousins and some of our
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: family members gave us a bunch of clothes. But obviously
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: it's a little more difficult when you live in a
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: different state than a lot of people you know to travel.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: It's not like I can just drive over and get
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: the stuff, so it's like we're just purchasing it. And
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: I think a big thing is this changed the game.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: And I would say this for myself as well. Even
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: though I basically have a closet full of clothes, I
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: wear probably ten percent of them three d and sixty
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: five days a year. I think I read a stat
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: most human beings, unless you're in a certain industry, wear
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: like less than twenty percent of their clothes, which to
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: me is very true. But this baby, who is going
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: to grow at a rapid rate, probably has more clothes
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: before he's even arrived than I had the first ten
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: years of my life. And she's not alone like I'm
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: not putting this on her for doing this. I think
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: this is a big thing with the Internet and the
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: clothing industry. You could argue no industry has benefited more.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: And I'm not even counting babies. I'm just out in
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: clothing industry in general because the social media marketing like
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: it works, like that wasn't even an option. We just
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: went over to places when I was like seven or
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: eight or ten, and people just had the three ring
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: binders of polaroids in a laminate and You're like, oh,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: cool picture, cool pictures. That was our Facebook, that was
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: our Instagram. And I just think the simpler times made it.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: I don't even know if it was good or bad.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: I just think we all look the same and every
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: single person kind of wore the same shit that clearly
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: is not the came my son from jackets to corduroys
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: to cool onesies like I don't think I had any
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: of that when I was a kid. And here's the
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: other thing. We have more contraptions of bottle washers, three
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: different strollers, trash can that has a special contraption to
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: like get rid of the odor on the shits, to
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: changing tables, to all sorts of stuff that Again, I'm
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: not trying to be a Debbie Downer here because I'm
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: excited and it's fun. But I told a buddy the
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: other day, people have been having kids since the cave
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: man days. And even if you just go back to
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: like when my parents were born, you know, if your
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: parents in the fifties and sixties, whatever, it's like people
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: didn't even wear seatbelts. They threw their kid in the
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: back of the car. They just threw their kid in
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: the crip. Now it's like kids wear whooped. There are
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: all these rules, and I just wonder if we've over
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: complicated this stuff a little. I just can't imagine that
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: all these contraptions are necessary because I think back to
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: and again, it's not like I have that many memories
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: from being you know, obviously being one or two, but
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: I kind of remember, you know, when my brother was born,
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: when I was like four and a half five years old,
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: definitely when we shared a room up until I was
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: probably like ten or eleven, and we only had a
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: two bedroom house. So by the time I was like
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: I got to junior high, like, I don't want to
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: live with Jeff anymore, so they put me in the
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: living room before we kind of did this room model
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: and added a room. Because we only had two bedrooms.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: We put me in the living room. My dad got
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: cubicles like you see in an office and just created
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: a cubicle in the corner of the living room and
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: I lived there, I think for like a year. I
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: was like, my son is never gonna have those type experiences,
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: which I fucking hated at the time. I'm not gonna lie.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, it sucked, but it did build a little character.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: And I just think these contraptions. I just remember we've
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: had a room. There was a crib, and that was
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: just kind of my room, and then eventually Jeff came.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: We got me a single bed in the corner, and
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: then he just took the crib. I don't remember any contraptions.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: I don't remember like thousand dollars strollers, and we just
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: I don't remember like rules about blankets and whoops and
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: obviously the video monitors. None of that stuff existed. And
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: we're all just fine. We're all just thriving. Most of
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: my friends same thing, and we're completely fine. So I
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: think the big baby business, which again I don't blame her.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: You get pressure. All your friends are buying this stuff.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: You just do it, I guess, but I wonder if
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: we took a step back, how much stuff is unnecessary.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: But he's gonna have it all. And you know, potentially
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: next Thursday, your boy will have a new son on
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: the way. What is going on? Everybody? You know what time?

• 45:43
  Speaker 1: doesn't get much better. But today mail Bag at John
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: Middlecoff is my Instagram. Fire in the DMS and get
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: your questions answered on the show. Try to go rapid
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: fire because I got a lot of questions. I'm gonna
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: be answering a lot. I mean, we got it's a
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: time of year where people are got thoughts, gotta opinions
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: and fire in my way, so keep them coming. How
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: much stock do you put into hiding play calls and
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: coaches hiding the playbook week seventeen or eighteen against inferior opponents?
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: As a Bronco fan, I hope to God this is
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: the case, but I can't help but worry that our
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: only hope to win a playoff game is a pick
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: six and three field goals. It probably varies a little
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: team to team, you know, Sean, I saw Ben Johnson
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: say that, like, we were trying to win this game.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: This wasn't just hiding our stuff. We tried to win
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: that game, Like we coached all week to win that game.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: And people would be like, well, if they got the two,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: they knew they were playing the Packers, they wouldn't want
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: to show anything. I think the counter and I think
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: Ben would probably reiterate this. We just had two kitchen
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: sink games with them within the last month, like at
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: this point in time, by by week seventeen eighteen, what
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: are you hiding? Like what type plays would you have
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: or schemes that you would have You like been holding
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: this one for round two? That's that's not really a
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: football works. I mean you're throwing most of that stuff
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: during the season. If you got it, obviously you can
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: build off that in a playoff game. But I think
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: that is a little overrated. That's what my gut says
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: now in a certain situation, like when you're throwing the game,
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: like the Eagles, like they clearly didn't care, the Chargers
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: throwing Trey Lance out there and benching a bunch of starters,
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: Like yeah, but like I watched it, look like to
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: me the Bears all their starters were out there. I'd
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: be lying if I said I was that dialed in
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: on the Broncos game. I know Boden was playing, but like,
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: we're all your starters playing in that game, you kind
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: of cruise. I wouldn't make that much of that game
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: in particular, But I do think it's fair to be
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: a little nervous going into the playoffs. Do you trust
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: this team? It's weird about being a number one seed
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: and not being that excited. That's what's crazy about the
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: two number one seeds. If you're Seattle, you're on top
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: of the moon. If you're Denver, you're like kind of nervous.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: I think the best thing you had going for you.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: If you're Denver is the conference is kind of weird.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: But what if in that first game, let's say Chalk holds.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's a decent chance Denver's playing
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: the Texans or the Bills. So I mean that's those
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: are tough, either Josh Allen or the Texans defense. Like,
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: that's a tough first round matchup. I think if you
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: could choose any team to play, if you're the Broncos,
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: you would want Chalk to hold and play the Steelers.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: Do you think John Gruden will ever coach in the
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: NFL again? As a Raider fan, Gruden was the last
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: coach that seemed to have a plan. The team improved
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: every year and went to the playoffs in his third year. Uh.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: I think it was his fourth year and they went
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: to the playoffs once they fired him. And that was
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: also winning the last game of the season. So I
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: like John from an entertainment stace. He's very entertaining, you know,
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: doing his barstool stuff just on the internet. He entertains me.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: I'm very entertained by John Gruden. I do think the
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: coach John Gruden like the lore, the legend of it all.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: When he was doing Monday Night Football, probably grew to
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: disproportionate amounts, and I do think he's a little overrated,
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: and he's also a terrible evaluator. He's not very good
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: in the draft, and he's kind of a power hungery guy.
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: So I don't think he's ever working in the NFL. Again,
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: I don't, and I'm not even talking about the suing.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: I just don't like who would hire him now, especially
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: a lot of these gms like they know he'll try
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: to get rid of them. Do you think we'll ever
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: get to the point where a top quarterback prospect refuses
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: to play for some of these teams, like the Jets
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: or the Browns. Obviously, being drafted high financially changes their lives,
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: but over the last twenty years, these organizations are clearly
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: poorly run. So do you think in any way these
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: guys start to say no to teams. You do have
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: to wonder if the nil money like gives him a
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: little more leverage. If I'm a starting quarterback coming out
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: and I've made ten million dollars the last two years,
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: it's a little bit different than just having no money
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: going to the first place is gonna pay you. I
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: remember the first time I ever got forty grand working
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: for the Eagles. I was like, I hit the jackpot.
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: So it's in a lot of college people feel that way.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: Whether you're an athlete or whether you're just a normal kid.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: The first time you ever get a paycheck's a big deal.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: Now if you're a college quarterback. These guys are making
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: four or five million dollars a year. Carson Beck. I
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: think Carson he's a bad example because he's not gonna
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: go high. But Carson Beck's made a lot of money
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: the last couple of years, So I would imagine it's
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: gonna happen at one point in time because I would
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: not play for the Jets. How could you? How could you?
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: The Raiders? I like, who's my coach? The Raiders a
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: little more enticing because like they're just gonna be like,
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: we're gonna have you talk with Tom Brady constantly. I
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: think that's gonna be the draw. And I don't feel
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoz is doing that question. Have you gotten back
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: and watched Tyler Shuck's the last six or seven games?
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: I have a life. The answer is no. I watched
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: a lot of them live, though I've watched probably three
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: of his last five games three of his last four games.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: Where's the question. What impressed me was a situation he
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: was playing a young, banged up offensive line, handing the
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: ball to fourth and string running backs, throwing to a
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: lave plus replacement level receivers. I know I'm biased, but
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: did you view that shuck showed down the stretch given
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: the circumstances. I got a text from a guy on
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: their staff I think after his first start that said,
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: we got a guy. Obviously got a little bumpy after that,
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: but down the stretch. The pick against Atlanta was an ideal,
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: But honestly, if you're you would actually rather lose that
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: game at that point for draft status. I think he
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: looks really, really talented. He's got a lot of things
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: going for him. He's big, he can run, he has touch,
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: Like that's the amazing part about him. You look at him,
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: just you see his physical stature. You think, when people
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: are hyping him up, you think he's gonna have this
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: like powerful throw one hundred miles an hour. He's actually,
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: to me more of a touch thrower. Not that he
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: has a weak arm, but it feels a little goffy.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know. He just has a lot of touch
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: on his ball. Very impressed. He's definitely the starting quarterback
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: next year. Why is it that coaches fall off so
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: hard when they get old. Obviously, when players get older,
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: their body starts to fall apart, but that's not really
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: a factor for coaches. For instance, what about Pete Carroll
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: changed in the last five years that affected his coaching ability?
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: Just think about humans in your life. Think about my
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: dad's been dead for a while, but like when they're
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: in their forties or their fifties, how vibrant they are.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: And then whether it's your grandpa, whether it's your father,
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: whether it's just people in your life that as they
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: get in their sixties, definitely in their seventies, you just
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: slow down. You do not have the same juice. And
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: peak Carrol's a good example, Like he's healthy, energetic. There
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: is no way your pistons upstairs are firing at the
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: same level combined with your physical energy the same when
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: you were fifty eight years old. Like the peak Carrol
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: that we saw in twenty thirteen, how could he match
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: that in twenty twenty five, And he probably tried. He
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: probably in his mind thinks he's doing the best possible,
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: but it can't be the same. It just can't. And
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: the other thing I heard, I think, like comedians say this.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: I forget who it was what I was listening to,
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: but it was like, that's a really good point. Like
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: think about Belichick in like two thousand and five, when
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: Belichick woke up, when that alarm went off at five
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: point fifteen in the morning or five thirty or five,
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: whenever the hell he gets up, the first thing that
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: crossed his mind was football. Was football, the team. How
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: he's gonna do whatever schematically or cut a guy or
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: acquire a guy. And he was excited to get out
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: of bed because he was doing football. There is no
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: way those guys, Pete Bill, when that alarm goes off,
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: their fire for football is the same. It's seventy five
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: years old, with all that money in the bank. I
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: just don't believe it. I don't believe especially when like
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: what are you? I'm not trying to prove something that
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: I already haven't done. So like Jim Harbaugh, for example,
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: Jim Harball's made a ton of money and is well
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: established now. Jim Harbaugh is a really good coach, but
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: he's in the NFL now, and it's like, can the
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: guy win the Super Bowl. So every single day when
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh's alarm goes off, like I want to win
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: the super Bowl, Kyle Shanahan to, I want to win
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. A lot of these guys like I
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: want to be a super Bowl winner. And I just
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: think that that drive is something that these guys when
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: they get in their seventies, I'm sorry, they just I
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: don't believe they have it anymore. I don't just I've
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: known people that very successful, like multi millionaire business owners
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: that know people that work for them. They're like, yeah,
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: some weeks they just don't see him, or ten years ago,
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: it's like he was in the office every single day.
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: You get a little older, you get a little more perspective,
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: maybe get grandkids, Maybe you just don't care as much anymore.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: It's called life. So I think it's less about like
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: does Pete know how to run a team meeting? Does
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: Pete know what defense is good against X, Y and
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: Z offensive goals? The same with Bill Belichick. Yes, do
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: I think those guys could talk football or Nick Saban
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: at seventy four years old with anybody right now? Of course,
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: part of the reason Nick Saban retired and clearly if
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: you look at him, he ain't coming back. Life's too good.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: It's funny like when people go, do you ever want
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: to go back to the NFL? Do I ever want
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: to go back to the NFL? You fucking out of
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: your mind? No, My life's took great. Plus I didn't like.
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: The one thing I'll never forget, and this is what
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: Coach Reid has at the highest levels. His passion for
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: football and people that I know, a bunch of people
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: that work for the cheese, I'll never forget. After he
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: won his first Super Bowl, maybe it was the second
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: super Bowl, it would have been twenty twenty two. I
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: was at the combine and one of my buddies on
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: the staff, we were bs, and he's like, you know,
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: it's crazy. You just Coach Reed's car in the off
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: season Saturday at the office. He just loves it. He's
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: just addicted. One day maybe he won't be the same.
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: But as long as you have that pure addiction going,
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: and you know, I think there's an age limit where
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it's it's hard once you get over seventy.
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: I think I just think it is when you're going
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: against the Kevin o'connells and mcfay's and Mike McDonald's and Kyle's.
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, all these guys are in fifty Frabel's fifty.
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: They just have more energy than you. They just have
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: more stamina. If you're the owner of the GM of
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: the Buccaneers, what are you doing with Todd There's a
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: real argument, depending on the Falcons hire, that he could
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: be the worst head coach in the worst division in football.
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: He's better than Canalis, Like, you can't put Canalis above him.
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: Canal is called a flea flicker in the rain made
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: the playoffs at eighty nine. Todd Bowles, Like Todd Bowles
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: is a big time defensive coach. I know his defense
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: sucks now, but he knows defense. Todd Bowle is a
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: good coach. If there was an option for an offensive
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: stud I think you would fire him and hire that guy.
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: I just don't think that guy exists. I think if
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: they had a good replacement, they would fire Todd Bowles
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: and replace them. But I just don't think that guy exists.
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: So I think it's easy to say fire him, and
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: I get it if you're a Buccaneers fan, But I
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: just don't see who the replacement is obviously, if you
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: could have a redo, you would. It's clear what you
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: would do. Uh Liam, you're in the big room. Todd,
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: we love you, but you gots to go. But you
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: didn't do that, And now look at the options. Is
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: it a hot take to say the Bears are actually
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: the worst team in the NFC North. They have the
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: fourth place schedule. Uh No, I mean, come on, guys.
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: They won the division. They armed it. I this is
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: a bottom line business. I think that division is actually
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: much closer. I mean the Bears easily could have lost
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: the Packers twice. Obviously, the Lions beat him twice, they
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: beat Minnesota. They lost to Minnesota week one, So what
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: was a divisional record? Three and three? That division is tough, man.
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: It is the Lions. I mean, let's face it, If
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: the Lions play the Panthers tomorrow, who picking Lions are good?
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: If the Vikings just had decent quarterback play, like, they're
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: pretty good too. And obviously the Packers went healthier Super
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: Bowl contender. We've seen offenses run more heavy sets this season,
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: and it seems like more good teams have three quality
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: tight ends on their roster. The Rams miss Higbee for
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: six weeks and still at three dudes Knox Kinkaid and
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: Buffalo Comet in Loveland, Chicago. From a scouting draft perspective,
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: are there just more athletes that have that skill set?
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: Seems like there are plenty of six to five white
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: guys out there that can run and block. With the
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: amount of good players in college in the NFL will
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: be a devaluation of the position in terms of draft
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: capital needed to acquire good tight end play. I think
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: part of it is tight ends are a much bigger
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: mismatch than just your run of the mill wide receiver
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: because if I get Cole Kmet or Loveland, who's covering
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: that guy on the other team? My tight end is
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: six four six' five can. Run look At comet's the
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: two point conversion. Catch he, had the body, type the
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: red zone. Ability they're like basketball. Players so safeties aren't big.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: Enough corners while they're fast, enough there don't weigh. Enough
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: it's just a physical. Mismatch so you see a lot
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: of these teams utilizing the tight end way more because
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: especially if a guy can, block it helps the run,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: game and in the past game like they just can't
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: cover those. Guys SO i THINK i think that's. It
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: you just have these athletic tight ends that are six
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: three to six five that you can have a lot
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: of personnel or formation. VERSATILITY i think that's a big.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: KEY i haven't looked at the draft class this year
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: of how many good tight ends there, are but there
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: are just a lot of good tight ends come in
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: the league over the course of the LAST i don't, know,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: decade even just random Guy Ko komet's a good. Example
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: he's just, solid you, know you, Know, Bowers, Loveland. WARREN i,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: mean like high end tight ends are coming in the.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: League last night In lamar's press, conference he, SAID i
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: don't know what else we could do to win after
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: putting the season on the line with a young, Kicker
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: how do you think the ravens On lamar can go?
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: Forward especially with the other elite quarterbacks Like josh seemingly
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: running past. HIM i wouldn't say they were running past.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: Him lamar just seen to stay on the. Field he's
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: one of the best players in the. LEAGUE i would
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: agree with. Them they had a forty five or, whatever
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: a forty three yard field. Goal they did everything they
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: could to. WIN i Saw DeAndre, Hopkins he's, like we're
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: three yards away from playing the. Postseason that's the thing with.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: Sports you know what they say in, basketball make or miss,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: league that's field. Goals guy makes, it he's a. Hero
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: they carry him off he misses. It people are probably
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: saying mean stuff to him social. MEDIA i think they
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: are BECAUSE i saw a post, like, yeah that's if
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: you don't want, that just don't be on social. Media
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: like you can't get the best of both. Worlds it's
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: got gutter rats and it's got normal people that give you,
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: compliments but people complaining about, like, oh the vile things like,
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: yeah welcome to The. INTERNET i, mean it, sucks but
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: you can't take the good and not get the. Bad
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: that's not the way it. Works that's the least shocking
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: thing you've ever seen that people are saying crazy things
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: to him and his, Wife like it's it's just the
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: sick thing that we call social. MEDIA i, mean it
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: is what it. Is so why so many people are
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: getting away like we're trying to figure out, again we're
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: a long way from, this but you, know kids with
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: social media and screen time and it's easy to say without,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: it you know before you have. One but it's a
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: major conversation for a lot of you, know, parents because
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: of just HOW i, Mean i've lived through, it my
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: business is through. It it just can. Be it has great,
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: benefits but it can be really really. Ugly AND i
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: think social media can create things like The lamar, discussion
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: like is he really like on the trading? Block was
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: that a real thing or is that just conversation that
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: kind of grows on The internet and it's not real at.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: All AND i think There's John harbut's getting fired Before
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: Lamar jackson's getting. TRADED i think The ravens end of the,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: day they're one of the best drafting teams in the,
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: league have been for a long. Time they're a well run.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: Organization they're not going. Anywhere i'd bet on The ravens
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: way BEFORE i bet on The. Bengals it's About Pete
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: carroll coaching in college. Again that ship Sailed. Pete pete's.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: Done pete needs to just just be, rich, retire live
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: like probably it's over give it. Up easy for me
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: to say in like the prime of my. Career but
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: If i'm holding on AND i suck at seventy five
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: AND i have enough money to do WHATEVER i, want
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: that's on, Me Like i'm a. Loser pie's not a.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: Loser but it's just, like, well just let, go just go.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: CHILL nfl. Teams the other, Thing pete's big advantage AT
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: usc back in the, day it's like they could land
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: a player with twenty grand in a. Car those days are,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: done even THOUGH usc spending a lot of money right
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: now to buy. PLAYERS nfl teams need to Give Kirk
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: cousins a big thank you for going five and three
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: and beating The, rams because can we imagine what would
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: happen If sean McVeigh got ahold of a top five.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: PICK i saw that, today what it, is thirteenth. Pick
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: it's still pretty good. Pick you, KNOW i think The
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: rams would have done. That they got, first just in
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: the tight end who clearly McVeigh likes a lot in
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: the thirteenth. Pick that's that's a pretty good. Trade it
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: looked like it was gonna be really. Good like at
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: one point in, time, like are they gonna have the
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: fourth pick in the? Draft? Uh, clearly you Just Bejon.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: Robinson their defense are too, good but they still got
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: a pretty good. Pick and the other thing with The
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: chiefs at nine and The rams at, thirteen if those
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: teams want to put their nuts on the, table they
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: can go what about next year's one and move up
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: and get someone, sweet like do the rams have bain
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: to go with? Verse next? Year listening for a couple of.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: Years i'm going to The phoenetian with some buddies in

  Speaker 1: it's just. You i'll say that. Much for those of
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: you with big, families you, know it's Like i've started, thinking,
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: like what IF i have a couple, kids and when
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: they're like ten and, twelve especially they're, boys it's, like
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: how many pizzas you gotta? ORDER i think back WHEN
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: i was, young things are so much cheaper back. Then,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: okay couple. MORE i think we got confirmation about who
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: the problem is In philly after yesterday's. Game how can
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: the starters and the backups score seventeen? Points seems like
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: THE oc is the, problem not Strictly jalen aj THE
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: o line Or. Sirianni if we struggle against the forty nine,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: ers do we? Well howie And jeffrey finally get rid Of.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: PETULA i love How, howie and rightfully so is like
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: he's always right there with the, owner you, know like
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: when you talk about The, cowboys you're, like, Uh jerry
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: with The, Eagles Like howie And. Jeffrey it's like they're a.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: Tandem if they were to lose to the forty nine,
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: ers he's one hundred percent. Fired he's Fired monday. Morning
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: it would be so faster your. Head we'll spend The.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: EAGLES i think of all the, TEAMS i might do
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: this For, FRIDAY i don't think any team has more
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: pressure on them to win the game Than. PHILLY i
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: actually don't even think it's close because of the disadvantage
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: the forty nine. Ers they don't have, players so and
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: This eagles, team, like why can't we win THE? Nfc
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: why can't we go back to? Back that's what they
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: got to be. THINKING i think there's a lot of
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: pressure on The. Eagles their defense is gonna be, fine
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: but offensively if you can't score, points And washington's probably
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: as shitty as the forty nine ers on. Defense to,
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: me The, eagles especially if it's not, raining if it's just,
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: cold the minimum should be like twenty five twenty six points.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: MINIMUM i think you should be able to get thirty
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: against The. Niners that's what was crazy About. Seattle that's
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: why the game felt like such a Blood it felt
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: like thirty three missed a couple of field. Goals they
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: went forward on a fourth down at the one yard.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: LINE i mean it easily could have been ten more.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: Point it could have been twenty six to. Three that's
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: what the game felt. Like, hey last, question you said
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: about a month ago that If mahomes disappeared That andy
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: would be. Fine after seeing them Without, mahomes do you
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: still Believe Josh allen is the best player in THE
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: Nfl WHEN i Say andy would be if he, disappeared
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: they could find another quarterback in an. Offseason obviously in
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: the middle of the. Season If mahomes, disappears you are.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: Fucked if you are a team Like Josh, Allen Lamar,
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: jackson those type teams AND i remove your starting, quarterback
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: you're in major. Trouble Herbert Drake may the drop off
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: Is stafford is gonna be catastrophic IF i give you
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: an offseason to find someone capable with a good offensive.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: Coach look At Shane Sichin Took Daniel jones are winning
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: games Till Daniel jones' body fell. Apart they were. Fine Kyle,
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: shanahan Like Mac, JONES i can just win games With Mac.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: Jones kevin, O'Connell Sam, Donald you, know so you don't
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: Think Andy reid would just Sign Sam donald if he
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: didn't have a quarterback or something like. That, yeah that
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: was my point where other coaches like that's where the
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: knock on the defensive guys like Can Mike tomlin say the?
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: Same Could Dan quinn say the? Same Could John harbaugh
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: say the? Same John harbaugh was about to get fired
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: until they bench flack one With lamar if someone else
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: had Drafted Lamar, jackson because remember they took a guy
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: ahead Of Lamar, Jackson Hayden, HURST i, think and they
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: just drafted some random, Quarterback John harball would not be
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: all the ravens. Now Lamar jackson Saved John harbaugh's raven.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: Career now he would have got another, job for. Sure
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: but my point is that certain, coaches if they just
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: had no quarterback in an, OFFSEASON i think they could
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: figure it out and find just some credibility. There, now
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: obviously the guy wouldn't be as good As, mahomes but
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: and he's proven. It he's won games with all sorts
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: of quarterbacks over the. Years that was my. Point and
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: DO i Believe Josh allen's the best player in THE
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: nfl in twenty twenty. FIVE i. Do, Obviously Patrick mahomes
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: at times been the best. Player Lamar jackson's been the best.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: PLAYER i was thinking, like who was the best player
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: in THE nfl this year because there's been a lot of,
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: arguments AND i don't really have a strong opinion on THE.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: MVP i don't really, care especially in a year like,
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: this could you make the argument That pooka And akua
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: was THE mvp the. LEAGUE i feel Like Pooka nakula
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: was the best PLAYER i watched in THE nfl start to.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: Finish it feels Like stafford's gonna win. It Maybe drake.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: MAYWINS i don't, know BUT i feel like Pokin akua
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: is THE mvp the. LEAGUE i feel like he's best
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: player in the. LEAGUE i feel like this year he.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: Dominated it wasn't even a fair Fight Jackson. SMITH i
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: mean there were times where we thought, like is this
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: the best player in the. League that's the thing with THE,
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: mvp it's like The. Heisman we don't even talk about
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: Other it's got to be a. Quarterback just got to
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: be a, quarterback which we all agree quarterback is the
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: most important. Position BUT i don't, know can any other
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: position win the? Award can any other position just be
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: in the conversation to win the? Award why does no
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: one even talk, about, like Could pucka win the? Award
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: it doesn't even come. Up it's not even a. Conversation it's, like,
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: oh it's just one of the. QUARTERBACKS i guess it
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: is what it. Is the VOLUME m
