1:16
Speaker 1: that out as well. And let's just just fire into
1:20
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings, JJ McCarthy and Kyler Murray. I'm sure
1:26
Speaker 1: a lot of you that have social media that spend,
1:30
Speaker 1: you know, some time on the interweb saw the cliff.
1:34
Speaker 1: But I said, you know what, before we dive into it,
1:38
Speaker 1: let's just play it so while I'm talking about it,
1:42
Speaker 1: just in case you missed it. Not everyone lives on
1:44
Speaker 1: the internet. It just it's basically Kyler Murray and JJ
1:49
Speaker 1: McCarthy being asked about this relationship and situation with the
1:55
Speaker 1: two of them. Let's let's let a rip to this point.
1:59
Speaker 2: It's been great, been great. Obviously. I know he's a
2:01
Speaker 2: younger guy, so any any way I can help him. Obviously,
2:04
Speaker 2: I feel like, you know, I've played seven years now
2:06
Speaker 2: going on eight, so I'm considered veteran, even though I
2:08
Speaker 2: don't see myself as that give him any knowledge that
2:11
Speaker 2: he needs. Again, you know, we're both competitors, and I
2:15
Speaker 2: know you know we both won was best for the
2:17
Speaker 2: team to hearing of course, of course, yeah, he's no,
2:21
Speaker 2: he's overly acceptive, you know, and he's he's always communicating,
2:24
Speaker 2: asking questions stuff like that. So it's been good. Here,
2:27
Speaker 2: what's your relationship been like with Kyler so far?
2:30
Speaker 1: Now?
2:30
Speaker 3: It's just like two guys in a classroom.
2:32
Speaker 1: You know.
2:32
Speaker 3: He sits on one side, I sit on the other side,
2:34
Speaker 3: and it's a coach's responsibility to teach us and coach us.
2:38
Speaker 3: So is there any awkwardness like between you two awkwardness?
2:43
Speaker 3: You know, it's just like the same feeling you know
2:45
Speaker 3: when you're in high school and there's another person on
2:47
Speaker 3: the other side of the room. That's just kind of
2:49
Speaker 3: how it is. So I wouldn't say there's any awkwardness.
2:51
Speaker 1: It's just an all timer that that is that is
2:56
Speaker 1: made for this podcast. When I saw that, I went
3:00
Speaker 1: chef's kiss right there. And my number one takeaway is this,
3:06
Speaker 1: I'm a big believer that whether it's football, whether it's
3:10
Speaker 1: you guys in an office right now, there are people
3:13
Speaker 1: there that get it and people there that simply do not.
3:19
Speaker 1: And I'll speak for men here, we mature slower. Kyler
3:23
Speaker 1: Murray's a good example. I would say several years ago
3:26
Speaker 1: he would have been viewed as he doesn't get it.
3:29
Speaker 1: But when you listen to Kyler talk right there, you go,
3:33
Speaker 1: that's exactly what a pro quarterback is supposed to sound like. Yet,
3:36
Speaker 1: when you listen to JJ McCarthy. You just shake your head,
3:40
Speaker 1: you go doesn't get it. I actually heard a story recently.
3:45
Speaker 1: I don't want to give away the industry because it's
3:48
Speaker 1: kind of a I don't want to say sensitive information,
3:50
Speaker 1: but let's just say an individual call. My guy was
3:55
Speaker 1: in a meeting situation and essentially embarrassed himself with multi
4:00
Speaker 1: million dollar clients. And it's one of those where it's like,
4:04
Speaker 1: this isn't that complicated. You just can't do that. And
4:09
Speaker 1: all you guys have been around people, and part of
4:12
Speaker 1: getting it is some of us we developed these instincts
4:16
Speaker 1: when we're younger. Some of us we develop them as
4:19
Speaker 1: we kind of figure our way out in the professional world,
4:22
Speaker 1: you just kind of understand what is expected and in
4:26
Speaker 1: fairness to JJ McCarthy, when you are a quarterback in
4:30
Speaker 1: the National Football League, especially a high pick like he
4:34
Speaker 1: was a first round pick, a top fifteen pick, a
4:37
Speaker 1: lot is expected of you. You're coming as a national
4:40
Speaker 1: championship quarterback. You're viewed as the savior would be the
4:44
Speaker 1: wrong word because this team had just had success, but
4:48
Speaker 1: the future of the team and you are held at
4:51
Speaker 1: a standard which is extremely high. Where she Rice is
4:55
Speaker 1: in jail right now, and he's like, yeah, it's a
4:57
Speaker 1: life lesson. He's not even totally wrong because if she
5:01
Speaker 1: Rice could never figure out some of these life lessons,
5:02
Speaker 1: he'll play in the league for a long time because
5:04
Speaker 1: you know what, that's what happens to wide receivers. Look
5:06
Speaker 1: at Antonio Brown got chance after chance after chance. That
5:10
Speaker 1: was after he burned his feet off and Mike Tomlin
5:13
Speaker 1: punted on him other positions. It's not the same quarterback.
5:18
Speaker 1: It's a different freaking animal. And JJ McCarthy, let's face it,
5:23
Speaker 1: is a bad combination. Right now. He's not productive. He's
5:28
Speaker 1: not a good player. Right so, in terms of on
5:31
Speaker 1: the field, not good off the field, doesn't get a
5:35
Speaker 1: guy that doesn't work. One huge knock on Kyler Murray.
5:41
Speaker 1: And this goes back to again, we didn't create this story.
5:44
Speaker 1: The Arizona Cardinals did. When they signed to that contract
5:48
Speaker 1: and they put the video game clause in. It was
5:50
Speaker 1: like what and it became a big story. It's like,
5:55
Speaker 1: you guys are telling him that he can't play call
5:57
Speaker 1: of duty, that he needs to study more, and you're
5:59
Speaker 1: putting that in the contract, you probably shouldn't sign it.
6:03
Speaker 1: And I'll defend Kyler. Listen, he came out of nowhere
6:07
Speaker 1: right after he transferred from Texas A and m all
6:10
Speaker 1: of a sudden, It's like Heisman Trophy number one overall.
6:12
Speaker 1: Pick Billy Beans begging to play baseball a couple of
6:15
Speaker 1: years later, hadn't even had that much success, and they
6:17
Speaker 1: gave him one hundred and fifty hundred million dollars. It
6:20
Speaker 1: sure feels like that when the Arizona Cardinals cut him,
6:26
Speaker 1: like it would happen to most human beings if it
6:28
Speaker 1: hadn't already happened before all that had played out as
6:32
Speaker 1: Kobe were set toward the end of the season. Clearly
6:34
Speaker 1: it was a soft benching gave him a little humble
6:37
Speaker 1: pie and maybe just as the growth as a lot
6:40
Speaker 1: of us as we go through our twenties closer to thirty,
6:43
Speaker 1: we grow up and you can say Johnny's full of shit. Well,
6:47
Speaker 1: part of being a quarterback when a microphone and a
6:50
Speaker 1: camera is in front of you is being full of shit.
6:54
Speaker 1: Tom Brady googles some of his interviews over the course
6:57
Speaker 1: of decades, didn't say anything, but was definitely not negative,
7:01
Speaker 1: especially when it came to his own team. That's part
7:04
Speaker 1: of the deal. Yet. JJ McCarthy, who was given the
7:09
Speaker 1: opportunity to just lie through his teeth. We understand he
7:14
Speaker 1: probably don't like the guy he's coming for your gig,
7:16
Speaker 1: and let's face it, I would say it's universally agreed upon.
7:19
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy ain't gonna be the starter. Now, this might
7:22
Speaker 1: be more of my opinion than some of yours. I
7:25
Speaker 1: don't think JJ McCarthy's gonna be on the team, not
7:27
Speaker 1: not if this is the way he's operating, Because what
7:29
Speaker 1: do I need my backup quarterback to be kind of
7:32
Speaker 1: all in on the fucking team and the quarterback room.
7:35
Speaker 1: So when I watched JJ McCarthy, I go, this thing
7:39
Speaker 1: is over before it even started. And honestly, I didn't
7:41
Speaker 1: even understand its analogy, Like in the quarterback competition, only
7:45
Speaker 1: one guy could start. This isn't wide receiver, this isn't corner.
7:47
Speaker 1: It's like it's kind of like in high school when
7:48
Speaker 1: you're out of ups. What high school, I can get
7:50
Speaker 1: an A, that guy can get an A. That guy
7:51
Speaker 1: can get an F, I can get a C. We're
7:53
Speaker 1: not really competing against each other in high school. Unless
7:56
Speaker 1: he's talking about like high school quarterback room. I wasn't.
7:59
Speaker 1: I was a little I didn't quite follow him on
8:02
Speaker 1: that one, but one thing I did follow is like
8:05
Speaker 1: he ain't into this and he ain't feeling this. He
8:08
Speaker 1: has his coach's job to figure this out. No, Jay,
8:10
Speaker 1: it's your job. You were the top pick. They handed
8:14
Speaker 1: you the job, and we have seen this now. This
8:16
Speaker 1: is the third time in the last five years. Trey Lance,
8:19
Speaker 1: Anthony richardson JJ McCarthy, I can tell you now in
8:22
Speaker 1: May twenty eighth, we don't need to wait till training camp.
8:25
Speaker 1: It's fucking over. This thing is a rap. It's done.
8:29
Speaker 1: That's the way this league has worked. It's just happened
8:32
Speaker 1: with guys they were drafted way higher than this guy.
8:36
Speaker 1: And the one thing with JJ McCarthy is like he's
8:39
Speaker 1: just not good enough. That's the problem. The reason Rashi
8:43
Speaker 1: Rice or Antonio Brown or we'll see what happens with
8:46
Speaker 1: this Josh Jacob situation. And these are serious some of
8:50
Speaker 1: these guys legal situation. I mean, Rashi Rice is in
8:53
Speaker 1: fucking jail right now. He's literally in a jail cell,
8:57
Speaker 1: right Josh Jacobs, some of these accusations, like if any
9:02
Speaker 1: of them come true, are pretty serious. But guess what
9:05
Speaker 1: those two guys can do. They can play. So why
9:08
Speaker 1: do guys like that or guys that get in trouble
9:11
Speaker 1: that it's actually true, not like made up allegations, get
9:14
Speaker 1: chance after a chance because they produce. So even if
9:18
Speaker 1: you are a good guy, which I'm watching JJ's comments, like, bro,
9:21
Speaker 1: part of being a quarterback and winning over the locker
9:23
Speaker 1: room is just being able to bullshit your way. That's
9:27
Speaker 1: kind of the get it guy having instincts and an
9:29
Speaker 1: understanding of saying something like that. It's not gonna go
9:32
Speaker 1: over well because it's like, why are you even talking
9:35
Speaker 1: like that yet? Kyler's talking like he's twenty years in,
9:39
Speaker 1: like he's Tom Brady. He's like, God, has Kyler figured
9:42
Speaker 1: it out? Now? I'm not changing my tune of thinking this,
9:46
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's gonna be some All star Pro Bowl save
9:50
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. I am still very reluctant to go
9:53
Speaker 1: that way, and I stand by what I've said. I
9:55
Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna work on the field, but there's
9:57
Speaker 1: no disputing that, Like you can just watch that clip up.
10:00
Speaker 1: There's been growth. Guess what young men grow. And I'm
10:03
Speaker 1: not writing JJ McCarthy off JJ McCarthy. In a couple
10:07
Speaker 1: of years might look back and go, God, should have
10:09
Speaker 1: handled that better or should have been a little more mature.
10:11
Speaker 1: Happens part of being a dude, part of growing up.
10:15
Speaker 1: But you watch that he ain't in that phase now,
10:18
Speaker 1: and he's in the phase where come August. I'd be
10:22
Speaker 1: stunned if he's not traded to do another team when
10:23
Speaker 1: he doesn't win this job, because you're not gonna have
10:26
Speaker 1: him in the room polluting it because clearly, and there's
10:30
Speaker 1: another thing that's like John, they're just competing. Yeah, welcome
10:33
Speaker 1: to football. Everyone's competing. They're also taking they're on the
10:36
Speaker 1: same team right now. It's not like he's on the
10:39
Speaker 1: Vikings and the other guy's on the Lions, or that
10:41
Speaker 1: guy's on the Packers and he's on the Bears. No,
10:44
Speaker 1: they're both on the Minnesota Vikings. Like they're both pulling
10:48
Speaker 1: in the same direction. And this is what people often
10:51
Speaker 1: say about the quarterback room is everyone's got to know
10:54
Speaker 1: their role, and in some of these undefined roles, because
10:58
Speaker 1: it's like, well, it's clear if you're go to Baltimore,
11:01
Speaker 1: Buffalo or Kansas City, Justin Fields knows he's the backup, right,
11:06
Speaker 1: who's the Ravens backup? Cooper rush Snoop Puntley, whoever they know.
11:11
Speaker 1: Lamar's the starter, Jay's going, I'm the starter. No, you're
11:15
Speaker 1: not really, and everyone in the room and I would
11:18
Speaker 1: imagine this if if we were with some of the players.
11:21
Speaker 1: I guess like, this ain't gonna work. And I just
11:25
Speaker 1: think being able to get it and have the instincts
11:28
Speaker 1: of a situation is sometimes equally as important as the talent.
11:34
Speaker 1: And when you don't have the talent and you don't
11:38
Speaker 1: have the ability and you're not producing, there are a
11:41
Speaker 1: lot of people at a lot of companies that don't
11:43
Speaker 1: produce like they should, but get kept around because you
11:45
Speaker 1: know what good vibes. We like the guy. They bring
11:48
Speaker 1: a lot of energy, they try hard, they're great and
11:51
Speaker 1: you know, in environments or Google clients, whatever right you
11:54
Speaker 1: can get by a lot of guys go on to
11:56
Speaker 1: have Chase Daniels playing the league for like fifteen years.
12:00
Speaker 1: Jones is gonna have a fifteen year NFL career, Gardner
12:02
Speaker 1: Minshew still getting eight million dollars. You know why people
12:05
Speaker 1: like him? He says the right things. People want to
12:07
Speaker 1: be around them. They just get it. And I'm watching
12:11
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy going, this is you could take some notes
12:15
Speaker 1: for Kyler. He's a guy who's won, been a starting
12:19
Speaker 1: quarterback for a long time and kind of fucking you know,
12:24
Speaker 1: crashed out and got publicly embarrassed by a team that
12:28
Speaker 1: drafted number one when they cut him and paid him
12:31
Speaker 1: thirty seven million dollars to go away. Like that's that
12:35
Speaker 1: should be a learning opportunity, he said, sit on the
12:39
Speaker 1: other side of the room, bro, You act like you
12:42
Speaker 1: have all the answers. They had to fix your mechanics
12:44
Speaker 1: because you couldn't hit a basic out route. This is
12:46
Speaker 1: not you know, Michigan playing Wreckers where your team has
12:50
Speaker 1: superstars all over the place. This is the NFL. And
12:54
Speaker 1: when Justin Jefferson's breaking it off and you have to
12:56
Speaker 1: throw it thirty yards on a rope, you either can
12:58
Speaker 1: do it or you can't. And so far from what
13:00
Speaker 1: we've seen, you definitely don't do it consistently enough to
13:03
Speaker 1: even close to justify being a starting quarterback. So you
13:09
Speaker 1: talk about human psychology and understanding the room like this
13:13
Speaker 1: is a lot of pressure on Kevin O'Connell to just
13:16
Speaker 1: ask us they don't even have a general manager, like
13:18
Speaker 1: how long do you want to do this? Do we
13:21
Speaker 1: just pump right now and send them somewhere to get like,
13:25
Speaker 1: you know, a fifth round pick, and just kind of
13:28
Speaker 1: take our else and just move on. I was actually
13:32
Speaker 1: on the StairMaster earlier today, no big deal, just trying
13:34
Speaker 1: to shed a little fat, and I was watching Sam Darnold.
13:38
Speaker 1: He was on with Chris Long on his podcast. I
13:43
Speaker 1: watched it for like the last twenty minutes, and I
13:47
Speaker 1: was on it for an hour, But I'm saying I
13:48
Speaker 1: founded it like with forty minutes in, and my number
13:52
Speaker 1: one takeaway was that they talked about the struggles and
13:54
Speaker 1: just where he's at in Seattle, and you know, getting
13:57
Speaker 1: through when everyone thinks you sucked, and how you battle
14:00
Speaker 1: back and believing in yourself. In my takeaway, it was
14:03
Speaker 1: like Tim Donald just gets it. Like he's just one
14:07
Speaker 1: of those guys that I bet everyone that's been around
14:09
Speaker 1: him over the course, even going back to New York,
14:11
Speaker 1: it's like, I like that guy. They didn't play as well,
14:15
Speaker 1: but fucking like that guy. You watch JJ McCarthy, It's like,
14:19
Speaker 1: is that why Justin Jefferson has not really been singing
14:22
Speaker 1: his praises where he was the opposite when it came
14:25
Speaker 1: to Sam when it came to Kirk Cousins because Cousin's
14:28
Speaker 1: a good example. Early on, I think he rubbed some
14:30
Speaker 1: people the wrong way and then he kind of figured
14:32
Speaker 1: it out. And like I said, I'm not writing the
14:35
Speaker 1: obituary on JJ McCarthy's career. It by no means is over.
14:40
Speaker 1: How old is he twenty four, twenty three, he's a
14:43
Speaker 1: young player. But it ain't gonna work here. Well, let's
14:47
Speaker 1: just be let's just call a spade a spade. Can
14:49
Speaker 1: we just acknowledge the elephant in the room that this
14:53
Speaker 1: thing is over and this isn't some unprecedented move. We
14:56
Speaker 1: literally the Colts would have traded Anthony Richardson a month
15:00
Speaker 1: ago during the draft. Guess what, no one would take them.
15:04
Speaker 1: The forty nine ers got all time bailout that they
15:07
Speaker 1: were able to get a fourth round pick for a
15:08
Speaker 1: guy that can't play dead in the Western Jerry Jones,
15:11
Speaker 1: crazy ass. So it is what it is. But man,
15:16
Speaker 1: while while albeit it's funny, it's also pretty serious the
15:22
Speaker 1: way both those guys conducted themselves right there. Speaking of messaging,
15:26
Speaker 1: I remember Sean McVay has talked about this. I actually
15:29
Speaker 1: remember probably a bad example, but the don't shoot the
15:33
Speaker 1: messenger here. Mike McDaniel when he was in Miami talked
15:35
Speaker 1: about this too, And I've honestly noticed it in my
15:39
Speaker 1: own home, especially now we have a kid, and you know,
15:41
Speaker 1: tension sleep can be low, and you just you got
15:45
Speaker 1: to be very, very careful when you're in a leadership position,
15:49
Speaker 1: like a head coach, about what you say, the way
15:54
Speaker 1: you conduct yourself. Sean McVay is like, sometimes I have
15:56
Speaker 1: a bad attitude, Like my coaches see that, my assistant coaches,
16:00
Speaker 1: my players see that. So how and what I say,
16:04
Speaker 1: how I carry myself really matters. And remember last year
16:07
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson was big with Caleb Williams on body language,
16:12
Speaker 1: how you carry yourself. You know why, because everyone's looking
16:16
Speaker 1: at you, the ten other guys in the huddle with
16:18
Speaker 1: you on offense, the guy's rotating in on the sideline
16:22
Speaker 1: are coaching staff, the fucking fans, the defense people. Was
16:27
Speaker 1: like this, He harped on that. You know why, when
16:31
Speaker 1: I watch Ben Johnson talk, I go this guy just
16:34
Speaker 1: understands the power of messaging and what the message should be.
16:39
Speaker 1: Cause today he went on kind of like a long,
16:44
Speaker 1: kind of drawn out take on Luther Burton, and he
16:47
Speaker 1: opens it up by going I would buy stock right
16:50
Speaker 1: now on Luther Burton, and I start thinking, like, I
16:53
Speaker 1: don't think he just did this randomly. Now, I don't
16:55
Speaker 1: think he's just saying this while Luther is not producing
16:59
Speaker 1: so far this offseat, I would guess they have been
17:01
Speaker 1: on him and he's responded and he's been awesome because
17:05
Speaker 1: by all accounts he's I mean, he had some question
17:08
Speaker 1: marks coming out of college. I think off the field,
17:10
Speaker 1: because if he didn't, he would have been a first
17:12
Speaker 1: round pick. Like he's a big time talent and he
17:14
Speaker 1: flashed last year. He's got the chance to be a
17:17
Speaker 1: very high level wide receiver in the NFL. But I
17:20
Speaker 1: think Ben Johnson understands when he says something like that,
17:25
Speaker 1: that carries a lot of weight, like Ben Johnson doesn't
17:29
Speaker 1: need to be like, you know, Joe Doney's dominating, doesn't
17:31
Speaker 1: ever need to mention his name. It'd be a waste
17:33
Speaker 1: of a breath. You need to use those bullets on
17:37
Speaker 1: the guys that mattered that you can lift up or
17:40
Speaker 1: that you need to ride a little bit. And I
17:43
Speaker 1: think Ben understands. One they obviously move off Dj Moore,
17:46
Speaker 1: they are going to need Luther Burton the expectations in
17:49
Speaker 1: Chicago rightfully. So he's brought them. Their team brought them,
17:55
Speaker 1: Caleb brought them. When they win the North, they win
17:57
Speaker 1: a playoff game, and they easily could have won two
17:59
Speaker 1: playoff games. Is I don't think if you don't win
18:03
Speaker 1: the North, it would just be a devastation, but definitely
18:06
Speaker 1: not make it's playoffs or bust. You got to be
18:09
Speaker 1: playing in the playoffs, whether you're division champs or whether
18:11
Speaker 1: you're just going on the road, but be a wild
18:13
Speaker 1: card team, you got to be in the playoffs. And
18:16
Speaker 1: their defense like pass some holes, Like they don't have
18:18
Speaker 1: a great pass rush, so they're gonna need their offense
18:20
Speaker 1: again to be really good. They got Loveland, who's got
18:23
Speaker 1: a chance to be a stud. They got Rome who's
18:25
Speaker 1: now going into whatever year three, who's got a chance
18:28
Speaker 1: to be a really productive player. I would say the
18:30
Speaker 1: ceiling on Luther Is might be higher than romadonsay. And
18:35
Speaker 1: I think Ben because young think about when you were young,
18:38
Speaker 1: and some of you guys listening to this that are young,
18:41
Speaker 1: you know when you're working a lot, especially in an
18:43
Speaker 1: office setting or for older successful people, and they just
18:47
Speaker 1: say a compliment, like when you've really been producing and
18:50
Speaker 1: they tell you, hey, man, I really appreciate that I've seen
18:52
Speaker 1: you grind and keep it up. How far that goes
18:54
Speaker 1: as a young person. If I never hear a compliment
18:57
Speaker 1: at forty years old, it's meaningless to me. Like, I'm
19:01
Speaker 1: pretty fucking wired the way I'm wired in terms to grind,
19:05
Speaker 1: to get things done, to hold myself to a certain
19:08
Speaker 1: standard that was set years ago when I was twenty four.
19:12
Speaker 1: That mattered a lot. I wasn't wired like that. That
19:16
Speaker 1: comes with repetition over time, building self confidence, getting confidence
19:20
Speaker 1: from other people, And a huge part of being a
19:22
Speaker 1: coach is understanding like after a while, Sean mcvaden needs
19:26
Speaker 1: to say anything to Aaron Donald, Kyle Shanaan doesn't need
19:28
Speaker 1: to say anything to Trent Williams, right, Nick sirianni Ate, Rding,
19:33
Speaker 1: Lane Johnson or Sakwon Barkley. He's probably on some of
19:37
Speaker 1: the younger players. You know why, because that matters, And
19:41
Speaker 1: we talked. We hear coaches talk about this a lot.
19:45
Speaker 1: Players are okay with being coached hard. I would say,
19:49
Speaker 1: no one worth their salt in any industry is against
19:53
Speaker 1: constructive criticism or something that can help them get better,
19:58
Speaker 1: reach new levels, hit more bonuses, have more success. It's
20:03
Speaker 1: called the real world. But if you're always gonna ride
20:06
Speaker 1: my ass and then when I do good things as
20:09
Speaker 1: my superior, as my coach, as the owner of the company,
20:13
Speaker 1: and never say anything good when things go well, it's like, man,
20:16
Speaker 1: this relationship might never get to a certain point. And
20:20
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's Ben as a former player
20:22
Speaker 1: when you know he played at North Carolina or just
20:24
Speaker 1: his understanding as an assistant coach. Uh, kind of coming
20:27
Speaker 1: up the hard way. You know he's had a pretty
20:30
Speaker 1: quick rise. But I watch that. I go this guy
20:33
Speaker 1: just this guy just gets it. Today's show is brought

22:30
Speaker 1: knows if it's ever gonna happen, and if A. J.
22:33
Speaker 1: Brown's gonna get his way rap sheet today? Who is
22:37
Speaker 1: now like part of ESPN. I saw McAfee had him
22:39
Speaker 1: and Chefters like it'd be like Sham's and woesh getting together,
22:43
Speaker 1: which uh, I guess should have happened because they used
22:46
Speaker 1: to be really good friends. Shams was like Woes's mentee,
22:50
Speaker 1: but then Woes turned on him now hates his guts,
22:53
Speaker 1: which it seems like he does that to a lot
22:55
Speaker 1: of people. But that's a story for probably a different podcast.
22:59
Speaker 1: But how he wants a first round pick and the
23:03
Speaker 1: New England Patriots are not willing to offer a first
23:07
Speaker 1: round pick and listen, no shade or anything. But this
23:09
Speaker 1: reporting now is like we know the people reporting on
23:12
Speaker 1: it probably aren't given sexual favors for the information, so
23:15
Speaker 1: we can take it at face value. I also think
23:17
Speaker 1: part of the reason this trade hasn't been kind of
23:21
Speaker 1: come together is because of like the logistics of the
23:26
Speaker 1: timing of his contract to June one. But I do
23:30
Speaker 1: wonder if Howie. If he's dead set on a one
23:33
Speaker 1: what if the Patriots like, yeah, we don't think it's
23:35
Speaker 1: quite worth that. Are there other teams that would do that? Like,
23:39
Speaker 1: would Kansas City seriously consider trading a one form? And again,
23:43
Speaker 1: his numbers big as cap hits big the function. I'm
23:47
Speaker 1: not like things might need to be maneuvered, contracts be changed,
23:51
Speaker 1: but I'm just going generically, if they can figure that out,
23:55
Speaker 1: teams that would be interested, because you would say Kansas
23:58
Speaker 1: City would have to be interested. Would Buffalo be interested?
24:01
Speaker 1: Would the forty nine ers be interested? We know the
24:04
Speaker 1: Rams already were interested, So maybe he's no lock to
24:10
Speaker 1: go to the Patriots. It's felt that way. But if
24:14
Speaker 1: he's dead set, like, would Buffalo give their first round pick?
24:17
Speaker 1: Because if you told Buffalo that they will be in
24:19
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship next game next year, they wouldn't hesitate
24:22
Speaker 1: doing that, right, It's just the risk of like, what
24:24
Speaker 1: if things get weird with the coach? Isn't good enough?
24:27
Speaker 1: You know, Kansas City just had two first round picks
24:31
Speaker 1: and offense, especially with their best receiver currently in a
24:34
Speaker 1: jail cell, you'd have to wonder if that'd be something
24:37
Speaker 1: they would seriously, consider the irony is that Philly is
24:43
Speaker 1: the first team. Whatever. It's like, would you trade for
24:45
Speaker 1: this sweet player? It's always like Eagles interested. It's like, well,
24:48
Speaker 1: the Eagles are the team with the player who ironically
24:51
Speaker 1: one time traded for this player with a first round pick,
24:54
Speaker 1: right they graded, They gave pick seventeen for aj Brown,
24:59
Speaker 1: and that's got a lot of people fired. The Burks,
25:02
Speaker 1: the kid from Arkansas who was supposed to be some
25:05
Speaker 1: version of him that obviously never worked out. So your
25:08
Speaker 1: guests good as mine. But this saga feels like it's
25:10
Speaker 1: still kind of going on, and we don't have much
25:14
Speaker 1: much must It doesn't feel like there's resolution just coming
25:16
Speaker 1: right around the corner. Jack Campbell, the linebacker who the
25:21
Speaker 1: Lions once draft in the first round with Jamier Gibbs.
25:24
Speaker 1: I mean, a pretty good draft, Jamiir Gibbs, Jack Campbell,
25:27
Speaker 1: Samuel porta first three picks like that's and Jack Campbell
25:31
Speaker 1: actually had his press conference, which I appreciate, and I
25:34
Speaker 1: saw some people pointing this out on social media. Is like,
25:38
Speaker 1: usually when a guy gets a big extent, she got
25:40
Speaker 1: four years, eighty million dollars twenty two truly guaranteed fifty
25:45
Speaker 1: five practical guarantees. You got to talk to a cat
25:48
Speaker 1: manager exactly what that means millions of dollars And as
25:50
Speaker 1: Jack Campbell said, like, let's be real, I was already set.
25:54
Speaker 1: It's kind of refreshing to hear guys to talk like that.
25:56
Speaker 1: It's like I was already a millionaire. Guys like I
25:59
Speaker 1: mean I whether I got eighty, whether I got seventy,
26:02
Speaker 1: whether I got ninety, Like I'm already rich. And he
26:05
Speaker 1: didn't say rich, but he's like I because part of
26:07
Speaker 1: it was like could he have made more? Could he
26:09
Speaker 1: got a bigger contract? His whole thing was like I
26:11
Speaker 1: want to be here. And I saw this clip from
26:13
Speaker 1: the the owners meetings of Dan Campbell was like, we've
26:17
Speaker 1: already kind of done the hard part. Like we have
26:20
Speaker 1: the nucleus with Jared Goff, Pine Sewell, Amenrod Jamison, Williams,
26:25
Speaker 1: Sam Laporta, Jamiir Gibbs, Hutchinson, Jack Campbell, assuming Brian Branch
26:31
Speaker 1: is healthy, Like they have a lot of core guys
26:34
Speaker 1: who are high end guys that are healthy in the
26:36
Speaker 1: play seventeen games. Like should be on the Pro Bowl,
26:39
Speaker 1: not the fake Pro Bowl, like the real one they do.
26:43
Speaker 1: We got a lot going for him. I'm watching this
26:44
Speaker 1: Jack Campbell clip and and I don't emember blame a
26:47
Speaker 1: guy when they when they sign a contract, sometimes they
26:50
Speaker 1: like put on a suit, they sign it, they do
26:51
Speaker 1: a big prescot. It looks like he just either came
26:54
Speaker 1: from off the field or from the weight room. For
26:56
Speaker 1: that's kind of feels like a Dan Campbell guy. And
26:59
Speaker 1: all the shows you're talking about draft grades. They gave
27:01
Speaker 1: Jamiir Gibbs a D. They gave Jack Campbell an F.
27:05
Speaker 1: It's like that's one of the great drafts in the
27:07
Speaker 1: history of the Lions. But it just it also shows
27:11
Speaker 1: tight ends linebackers. You can get some of these positions
27:13
Speaker 1: when you get good players. They don't cost that much money.
27:17
Speaker 1: Like Jack Campbell got eighty million dollars total on his contract.
27:21
Speaker 1: Brandon I, You've got seventy five million dollars guaranteed two
27:24
Speaker 1: and a half years ago and caught seventy seven balls.
27:27
Speaker 1: Some of these, like the obsession with wide receivers, you
27:30
Speaker 1: get some of these other positions just for weight. Like
27:32
Speaker 1: look at Fred Warner's contract and then look at like
27:35
Speaker 1: Jamar Chases. And again it's a bad example because Jamar
27:38
Speaker 1: Chase an elite player, but there's some other guys just
27:41
Speaker 1: making a lot of money. It's like George Pickett, you
27:43
Speaker 1: gonta give him one hundred fifty million dollars? Like, would
27:45
Speaker 1: I rather just have Fred Warner mak An eighteen? I
27:48
Speaker 1: don't know, Uh, Fugazi Friday. I would say we kind
27:53
Speaker 1: of skip dad diaries this week. I've been on some
27:55
Speaker 1: text chains. There's this thing called four month sleep regression.
27:59
Speaker 1: My wife is like a general. She's got a very
28:02
Speaker 1: regimented you know. Sometimes I hear stories about her friends,
28:05
Speaker 1: like yeah, they just kind of live and just when
28:07
Speaker 1: the baby wants to sleep, they sleep. My wife's the opposite,
28:10
Speaker 1: like up at seven, bottle play sleep, up, bottle play sleep.
28:16
Speaker 1: There's a thing called the four month regression. I'd never
28:19
Speaker 1: heard of it because like most people, I maybe I
28:22
Speaker 1: don't speak for all men, but I've said this forever.
28:25
Speaker 1: It's like I've always wanted kids. It's like you didn't
28:27
Speaker 1: realize what you're getting into. No, I never thought that far.
28:30
Speaker 1: I always wanted to get married. You never thought about
28:32
Speaker 1: your wedding day. No, I just wanted to get married, right,
28:35
Speaker 1: thought about I wanted kids. I do want kids. I
28:38
Speaker 1: have a kid, and it's awesome, but I didn't know
28:40
Speaker 1: what it would actually be like twenty four to seven,
28:43
Speaker 1: cause there is no preparations. Oh, my brother's got a
28:45
Speaker 1: couple of boys. You see them, you hang out with them,
28:47
Speaker 1: then you go home and sleep right where your friend
28:50
Speaker 1: has a new baby. You go oversee it, you bring
28:52
Speaker 1: a gift, maybe bring a bottle of wine, celebrate. Then
28:55
Speaker 1: you get to go home and they don't and this
28:57
Speaker 1: four month aggression, the kids just will not sleep. And
29:00
Speaker 1: she is an elite sleep trainer. He won't nap, he
29:03
Speaker 1: gets up all throughout the night and there is and listen,
29:07
Speaker 1: she handles the night stuff way more. I mean she
29:10
Speaker 1: does the mental toll lack of sleep will take on
29:14
Speaker 1: human being. Is it adds some parallels to like Marine
29:18
Speaker 1: boot camp and Hell Week. It's just and you thought
29:21
Speaker 1: you're past it. And that's the thing with you know,
29:24
Speaker 1: an infant baby whatever their you know title is supposed
29:28
Speaker 1: to be at four and a half, five months. Is
29:30
Speaker 1: you get to the point like three months in you're like, oh,
29:32
Speaker 1: they go to bed at seven thirty and they wake
29:34
Speaker 1: up the next day at seven. This is fucking incredible.
29:37
Speaker 1: We can watch a TV show can go to bed early,
29:41
Speaker 1: get a good night's sleep. Now you just have no moment.
29:43
Speaker 1: At any moment, he can wake up, and the problem
29:46
Speaker 1: is like we'll make him nap during they what if
29:48
Speaker 1: you won't. And it just for those of you without
29:52
Speaker 1: children that want children, there is a freedom to your
29:59
Speaker 1: life that it's it's always hard to it's easy to
30:05
Speaker 1: take things for granted until you're able to look back
30:08
Speaker 1: and know you shouldn't take it for granted. Right any
30:12
Speaker 1: you could talk about the the worst things in life,
30:14
Speaker 1: losing people, right to just the basic of like I
30:18
Speaker 1: used to just be able to when I'm single, I
30:20
Speaker 1: can do whatever I want, whenever I want. But there's
30:22
Speaker 1: also negatives to that as well. That this four and
30:25
Speaker 1: a half month is like you could give someone that
30:30
Speaker 1: you needed to talk to, give out some information to
30:33
Speaker 1: like the fedspect make him watch my baby for like
30:37
Speaker 1: three straight days and he'll mentally break. He'll give you everything,
30:39
Speaker 1: He'll sing like Canary, He'll give you everything you need
30:42
Speaker 1: to need to know. On a more somber note, in
30:46
Speaker 1: all seriousness, we love Jackie just we love them to sleep. Uh.
30:52
Speaker 1: There were some news today that Claude Lemieux, the famous
30:57
Speaker 1: legendary NHL player uh passed away, I mean, by all reports,
31:03
Speaker 1: committed suicide. And I've become in the last several years
31:07
Speaker 1: very good friends with a guy named Hunter Bishop. He
31:10
Speaker 1: was star baseball player here at Arizona State. He got
31:12
Speaker 1: drafted to the San Franco Giants, lived in Arizona's how
31:16
Speaker 1: we met and played golf, and he now lives in Florida,
31:20
Speaker 1: in South Florida. And he married Claudia Lemieux, Claude's daughter,
31:27
Speaker 1: and they just had a baby around the same time
31:31
Speaker 1: we did, baby Girl. And I was at the gym
31:36
Speaker 1: today and I saw like the alerts come through, and
31:39
Speaker 1: I mean, I text. We don't live close anymore, but
31:42
Speaker 1: I feel like I texted him countless times a week.
31:46
Speaker 1: I just I'm speechless. I met Claude at a I
31:57
Speaker 1: can't remember if it was like there they were like
32:00
Speaker 1: they were about to get married and through a party
32:03
Speaker 1: or it was like they were moving away party. But
32:06
Speaker 1: he had a party in like old town Scottsdale for
32:08
Speaker 1: friends and family, and me and Maria went. And I'm
32:11
Speaker 1: not a huge hockey guy. I mean, I knew the name,
32:13
Speaker 1: but I don't think I quite grasped like this guy's
32:17
Speaker 1: status in the hockey community, and I remember meeting him
32:20
Speaker 1: and talking to him for a long time, and he
32:21
Speaker 1: just there are certain human beings, especially when you've worked
32:25
Speaker 1: in sports long enough and you've met some of these
32:27
Speaker 1: kind of iconic figures, they just kind of carry themselves like, yeah,
32:31
Speaker 1: I wouldn't fuck with that guy like I would like that.
32:35
Speaker 1: That guy carried himself like he was just had it
32:40
Speaker 1: together and just accomplished what he had accomplished. But he
32:43
Speaker 1: didn't come off arrogant or whatever. There was just there
32:45
Speaker 1: was just an aura to him. And so you see
32:48
Speaker 1: this headline that he committed suicide, you're and when you
32:52
Speaker 1: personally know people involved, and it's Claudia's father and you know,
32:57
Speaker 1: the their child, their grandparents. He's sixty years old. I mean,
33:02
Speaker 1: I felt like my dad died young. He died of
33:04
Speaker 1: like seventy four to seventy five years old. Maria's dad
33:08
Speaker 1: died relatively young too, sixty nine years old. And you
33:12
Speaker 1: just he just lit the torch at the Eastern Conference
33:17
Speaker 1: championship game. He was just I mean, it went viral
33:23
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago. It just shows you, man,
33:26
Speaker 1: I mean, for those of you you know me and
33:29
Speaker 1: Maria talked about this a lot, but our son will
33:35
Speaker 1: never have grandpas. Her dad's dead, my dad's dead, My
33:41
Speaker 1: mom's going. She's doing good, but I mean she's seventy
33:44
Speaker 1: eight years old. Her mom's you know, in her early
33:47
Speaker 1: mid sixties, great shape, kicking ass, taking names. But it's
33:51
Speaker 1: like you don't get this stuff forever. And then you
33:54
Speaker 1: see a story like this and your heart just breaks
33:57
Speaker 1: for you know, the children and just whatever he was,
34:03
Speaker 1: you know, going through, which shows you, I mean, you
34:06
Speaker 1: meet this guy and you just think badass, I mean badass.
34:12
Speaker 1: And again, like I said, it's not like I know,
34:14
Speaker 1: it's not like I'm meeting you know, Dick butkiss or
34:18
Speaker 1: ray Lewis where I know they're starting like you do
34:20
Speaker 1: not mess with that guy. I didn't really know, and
34:22
Speaker 1: that was the vibe I got. I mean, I knew
34:24
Speaker 1: played in the NHL and that means part of legendary
34:28
Speaker 1: fights you can YouTube. And I just I'm just gutted

35:54
Speaker 1: let's get to the mailbag at John Middlecoff At John
35:56
Speaker 1: Midlecoff is the Instagram fire in those DMS questions answered
35:59
Speaker 1: here in the show. I hit on this yesterday, but
36:02
Speaker 1: we can just reiterate it. How do you feel about
36:04
Speaker 1: quarterbacks missing OTAs, Herbert is off gallivaning with its influencer
36:07
Speaker 1: girlfriend in Europe, and as a new offensive coordinator. Lamar
36:10
Speaker 1: is always mia new head coach this year. These guys
36:13
Speaker 1: come up short year after year. Brady was so committed
36:15
Speaker 1: he ignored his wife and she had sex with a
36:17
Speaker 1: kung fu master. I feel like, with the money they
36:20
Speaker 1: make and the responsibility they have, they should be at
36:22
Speaker 1: one invested. I I talked about this yesterday one. You
36:31
Speaker 1: know Tom. Tom did miss stuff at the end of
36:35
Speaker 1: his career and used to kind of run a little
36:38
Speaker 1: bit of a fugazi. You remember, like would miss stuff
36:41
Speaker 1: but would fly everyone out. I don't have as big
36:44
Speaker 1: a deal. I think these practices also when Tom and
36:47
Speaker 1: like Peyton and when Rogers first got in the league
36:50
Speaker 1: and Breeze and Roethlisberger. I remember going to OTAs and
36:53
Speaker 1: being like, this is intense. We were on the field
36:56
Speaker 1: for a couple hours. It was bored. It wasn't like tackle,
36:59
Speaker 1: but it was like pretty physical with the line of scrimmage.
37:03
Speaker 1: I haven't been to an OTA practice in a couple
37:05
Speaker 1: of years, but once the new CBA thingk passed, you
37:08
Speaker 1: go to some of these OTAs. Now they are a joke.
37:12
Speaker 1: I mean they truly are. It is much more about
37:15
Speaker 1: the team bonding and stuff. And it's like for Lamar
37:17
Speaker 1: and Herbert, I don't have his issue with it. It's
37:23
Speaker 1: like it's May twenty eighth. Now, you know, you come
37:27
Speaker 1: up short. You you don't get over the hump. You know,
37:30
Speaker 1: if you're Herbert, you lose every year in the first round.
37:33
Speaker 1: If you're Lamar and you have these stacked teams and
37:35
Speaker 1: you aren't able to get it done, Like, yeah, you
37:37
Speaker 1: kind of bring some of it up. But I think
37:39
Speaker 1: at this point in time, like I think the off
37:42
Speaker 1: season is viewed as I mean, it's much bigger for
37:46
Speaker 1: like Luther Burden or JJ McCarthy than it is for
37:51
Speaker 1: like Miles Garrett. I mean, now you can say I'm
37:55
Speaker 1: not talking I'm just talking about the quarterbacks. Like yeah,
37:58
Speaker 1: I just I don't think it's a question. Forty nine
38:05
Speaker 1: Ers fan from Australia pumped for the Melbourne game. Well,
38:08
Speaker 1: I appreciate the international games and times of the games
38:11
Speaker 1: are breaking away from tradition for American fans. It is
38:14
Speaker 1: hard to argue that it isn't growing the game views,
38:17
Speaker 1: et cetera. Going up soccer as a whole has often
38:21
Speaker 1: crowned the biggest sport in the world where teams constantly travel,
38:25
Speaker 1: play on different days and it has no impact. The
38:28
Speaker 1: F one is another example where every race is in
38:31
Speaker 1: a different country. Plus in the NFL, it's still only
38:34
Speaker 1: one game a week. If it grows the game we
38:37
Speaker 1: love and is one to two games a year for
38:39
Speaker 1: your team that you have to watch in an odd
38:41
Speaker 1: time of day, is it really that bad? This gets
38:48
Speaker 1: back to what Kelsey said yesterday that like when I
38:52
Speaker 1: think soccer right and I don't follow it or F one,
38:57
Speaker 1: isn't every F one race on a Sunday? I could
39:02
Speaker 1: be wrong, not an F one guy either, But aren't
39:04
Speaker 1: there races on the same days or Saturday night? Like
39:09
Speaker 1: there would never be an F one race on a
39:11
Speaker 1: Thursday or a Monday. Correct Soccer? You know they play
39:16
Speaker 1: typically Friday, Saturday, Sunday, non World Cup. But just like
39:21
Speaker 1: the EPL, the Premier League or whatever, one thing that
39:27
Speaker 1: defined college football, high school football, and NFL football in
39:31
Speaker 1: this country was Friday, Saturday Sunday. Like when I say
39:35
Speaker 1: the New York Yankees, you don't like, what day do
39:39
Speaker 1: they play? Like every day? Like what day the Lakers
39:42
Speaker 1: play like, well, how many games they have this week?
39:45
Speaker 1: Well football, you go, they play on Sunday. Well when
39:47
Speaker 1: does Ohio State play? Well, they play on Saturday. When
39:50
Speaker 1: does Modern Day play Mission Viejo? You know Lake Charles
39:56
Speaker 1: or whatever. That sweet high school is in Texas Fort Lauderdale,
40:02
Speaker 1: you know the high school that Jason Taylor used to coach.
40:05
Speaker 1: It be playing Fridays. So I think it's part of
40:08
Speaker 1: been a regimented thing with which the sport has changed.
40:15
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I mean, if the game grows, maybe
40:21
Speaker 1: they get more international people playing in the league, so
40:24
Speaker 1: it can circumvent if we ever have a drop off
40:27
Speaker 1: in talent in America. And it doesn't. You know, you
40:30
Speaker 1: can just kind of get around because if you'd be like,
40:32
Speaker 1: well we stop having offensive lineman in America, it's like
40:34
Speaker 1: we be screwed. Well what if we just find Jordan
40:37
Speaker 1: mylotta is all over all these different countries. Maybe Okay,
40:41
Speaker 1: time will tell. I'm starting to come around on the
40:44
Speaker 1: twenty team playoff, twenty four team playoff. As someone who's
40:47
Speaker 1: born in eighty six, I was lucky enough to experience
40:50
Speaker 1: the importance of the Alo Moble, Citrus, Bull, etc. Same
40:56
Speaker 1: nowadays those mean nothing agreed. Expanding to twenty four will
41:02
Speaker 1: make those games relevant. For example, Number eighteen Iowa versus
41:07
Speaker 1: Number ten Florida in the Citrus Bowl will actually matter
41:10
Speaker 1: because they were playing for something bigger than just money thoughts.
41:18
Speaker 1: I think the issue is like the Bowl games again,
41:21
Speaker 1: are just inventory on television for us to gamble on.
41:24
Speaker 1: They haven't had meaning in a long time. But the
41:27
Speaker 1: first round of the playoffs over the last couple of
41:30
Speaker 1: years during the twelve teams has been really bad. Like
41:35
Speaker 1: a lot of the game two years ago, they were
41:36
Speaker 1: all blowouts. Notre Dame, Indiana, Penn State, SMU, I guess Texas,
41:44
Speaker 1: Clemson had some moments, and I'm forgetting one other game
41:48
Speaker 1: the just oh Tennessee, Ohio State, who got I mean
41:52
Speaker 1: they destroyed them last year. The two mid majors got killed.
42:00
Speaker 1: I'm forgetting somebody. It's hard to like visual oh Oklahoma,
42:04
Speaker 1: Bama was decent. I just think that there's a lot
42:10
Speaker 1: of teams. I think it benefits more like the programs
42:15
Speaker 1: and specifically the coaches made the playoffs because the players
42:20
Speaker 1: aren't faced. All these players are getting millions whether you
42:23
Speaker 1: make the playoffs or not, or hundreds of thousands of
42:25
Speaker 1: dollars they're good and whether they're good enough. Like the
42:31
Speaker 1: NFL teams, we had guys go in the first round
42:35
Speaker 1: from like San Diego State. We guys go in the
42:39
Speaker 1: first round that didn't make the playoffs. So it doesn't
42:43
Speaker 1: determine your draft status. It's really just the coaches preservation
42:50
Speaker 1: and AD's preservation. Because I heard Sarks say this, and
42:54
Speaker 1: he's not wrong. It is difficult if you're in one
42:57
Speaker 1: of the two big conferences to make the playoffs, Like
43:00
Speaker 1: you can be good in the Big Ten or the
43:02
Speaker 1: SEC and miss a twelve team playoff because it's not
43:06
Speaker 1: a twelve team playoff, it's essentially a ten team playoff
43:10
Speaker 1: because a JMU Boise State whoever is in and now
43:15
Speaker 1: Notre Dame is essentially in. And then the automatic qualifier
43:20
Speaker 1: essentially from the Big twelve in the ACC. So you're
43:26
Speaker 1: not guaranteed. Now, if you have a good year, you know,
43:29
Speaker 1: you win ten plus games, you're going to be in.
43:32
Speaker 1: But I do understand what he's saying. Again, I I'll complain,
43:38
Speaker 1: I'll watch it. I'm not like die hard enough where
43:43
Speaker 1: I'm bothered by it, Like it's not going to ruin me, right,
43:48
Speaker 1: it's not going to derail my love for Saturdays in
43:52
Speaker 1: college football, but I'd be fine without it. That's really
43:56
Speaker 1: my take. What is something you want to accomplish in
44:03
Speaker 1: your career that you haven't yet. It's a good question.
44:11
Speaker 1: I don't really think about that stuff like some Sometimes
44:16
Speaker 1: you hear people like I had I have these goals,
44:18
Speaker 1: and you know, you listen to people about manifesting stuff
44:22
Speaker 1: and writing things down, not saying that I haven't done
44:25
Speaker 1: that before. I maybe it's unhealthy. I'm probably more of
44:29
Speaker 1: a short term thinker when it comes to that. I mean,
44:32
Speaker 1: I've had I've been pretty lucky in life when it
44:35
Speaker 1: comes to my business agreements and situations and whatever quote
44:41
Speaker 1: unquote success you want to say has been had since
44:45
Speaker 1: I've been doing this, What I accomplished early in my life,
44:49
Speaker 1: I don't. I guess I don't really think about life
44:51
Speaker 1: like that.
44:52
Speaker 3: You know.
44:52
Speaker 1: There's not like a financial goal. It's like one day
44:54
Speaker 1: I want to make fifty million dollars or be worth like,
44:57
Speaker 1: I don't care. I've been poor, I've had money. It's like,
45:00
Speaker 1: I fucking doesn't change your personality. I would say one thing.
45:06
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't spend too much time thinking about
45:09
Speaker 1: it currently because I'm just trying to get my child
45:11
Speaker 1: to sleep. Would just be like, truly run my own operation,
45:15
Speaker 1: like the business revolves is mine completely. But again, like I,
45:25
Speaker 1: I've had such a good partnership with this, I haven't
45:29
Speaker 1: needed to do that. I've done it before. I did
45:34
Speaker 1: it when I first got out of radio, like me
45:36
Speaker 1: and Guy had a podcast. We ran the entire business.
45:38
Speaker 1: We owned it fifty to fifty and we did everything
45:41
Speaker 1: from the content to the sales, to the distribution, to
45:46
Speaker 1: the you name it, and it was it was fulfilling.
45:49
Speaker 1: You get your juices flowing. And that would be one
45:52
Speaker 1: day because then I would have access to like do
45:57
Speaker 1: whatever I wanted, Not that I can't necessarily now, but
45:59
Speaker 1: like I would say, truly just run my own operations,
46:05
Speaker 1: kind of like Colin did with the volume. But I
46:08
Speaker 1: would say one thing I'm pretty good at is like
46:13
Speaker 1: I'm very impatient in life, but I can be pretty
46:16
Speaker 1: patient when it comes to business stuff and seeing the
46:20
Speaker 1: big picture. I was like that when I was early
46:23
Speaker 1: on in my career in football, and I've been able
46:26
Speaker 1: to do that since I've been doing this. I can
46:29
Speaker 1: take a pretty macro view of things and not try
46:32
Speaker 1: to rush it especially, And I also know like when
46:36
Speaker 1: things are going good, like I just stay focused on
46:41
Speaker 1: I stay pretty and fucking sounds so stupid because coaches
46:44
Speaker 1: say it all the time, Like I just kind of
46:46
Speaker 1: focus where I'm at and just swing as much as
46:49
Speaker 1: I can. That's kind of what I'm doing now. I
46:52
Speaker 1: would say one thing accomplished is like raise a good
46:55
Speaker 1: human being that really gives you a perspective in life.
46:59
Speaker 1: Like because me and Maria were talking about someone the
47:03
Speaker 1: other day, like you can't really teach want to and
47:06
Speaker 1: you can't teach hustle. And I looked, I said, Jack,
47:10
Speaker 1: you're gonna be a hustler. You're gonna be a high
47:12
Speaker 1: energy guy. But like, I don't know, I mean, so
47:17
Speaker 1: much of your life. I remember my dad used to
47:18
Speaker 1: say this, like, you know, we can do a good
47:20
Speaker 1: job or whatever, but I don't choose your friends, you know.
47:23
Speaker 1: I look back, like a lot of my friends that
47:25
Speaker 1: I had growing up turned out to be pretty high
47:28
Speaker 1: level people. And I got lucky the people that I
47:32
Speaker 1: just liked and became friends with. When you're twelve, thirteen, fifteen,
47:37
Speaker 1: you see them get married, have families, have careers, do
47:40
Speaker 1: all sorts of things, and it's like I easily could
47:43
Speaker 1: have just not been friends with them and been friends
47:45
Speaker 1: with someone else. Some of these guys got in trouble.
47:47
Speaker 1: I mean I went to high school. People end up
47:50
Speaker 1: in jail, people got fucking killed, people that overdose, you know,
47:54
Speaker 1: all sorts of things. You just never know. A lot
47:57
Speaker 1: of stuff in his life is gonna be out of
47:59
Speaker 1: my control. I can control a certain percentage of it.
48:02
Speaker 1: But as it starts going to school and meeting people
48:05
Speaker 1: like I don't get chooses friends. I can tell him
48:08
Speaker 1: he can't hang out with that guy, and then usually
48:09
Speaker 1: in my experience, is gonna make him want to hang
48:11
Speaker 1: out them more. Especially do not date her. He'll be
48:16
Speaker 1: sneaking out of the house going over to our house. Wait,
48:20
Speaker 1: if she's bad, you could understand, Like, Dad, calm down.
48:24
Speaker 1: I actually think there's a way the NFL could do
48:26
Speaker 1: an eighteenth game without watering down the games. Keep the
48:29
Speaker 1: regular season at seventeen normal weeks, then make eighteen dedicated
48:33
Speaker 1: to the AFC NFC playing weekend. Everybody else that already
48:38
Speaker 1: made the playoffs rest. See there's gonna be you know,
48:42
Speaker 1: we do this a lot in college with the championship games.
48:45
Speaker 1: Right conference championship games we go. I'm a believer those
48:49
Speaker 1: should turn into playing games. Stay in the conference. But
48:53
Speaker 1: instead of Indiana Ohio State that are already top two seeds,
48:57
Speaker 1: make it Iowa verse. I would love to be Nebraska.
49:01
Speaker 1: I just to have a soft spot for that program
49:03
Speaker 1: since my youth. But like, make it a playing game
49:06
Speaker 1: in the NFL, Like no, they want every team to
49:09
Speaker 1: play like they want full inventory. So I hear what
49:14
Speaker 1: you're saying, but that is not their idea. They don't
49:18
Speaker 1: care about rests that they're proving that with all these games.
49:22
Speaker 1: They don't care about bye weeks. All these players double
49:25
Speaker 1: bye weeks. You think Roger Goodell gives a shit about
49:29
Speaker 1: double bye weeks. I'm not saying players are wrong. I'm
49:33
Speaker 1: saying they don't care. They do not care because one
49:38
Speaker 1: thing has been proven. I feel like the last couple
49:40
Speaker 1: of years, by the end of season, like half the
49:42
Speaker 1: league's injured. Twenty five million people watch injured people play football.
49:48
Speaker 1: I mean I watched on Christmas Eve, we watched Andy
49:52
Speaker 1: Reid roll out like a seven string quarterback. He threw
49:55
Speaker 1: for like fifty yards and people watched. How do you
49:58
Speaker 1: think Bryce Young will play this upcoming season coming off
50:01
Speaker 1: his goodish performance last year. Panthers seemed to have recovered
50:06
Speaker 1: from the Matt Rule and Frank Wright days, so the
50:09
Speaker 1: team and coach around him should also be as good
50:13
Speaker 1: as he's had in Carolina. Also, what do you predict
50:16
Speaker 1: a franchise will do for him long term? I'm pretty
50:20
Speaker 1: high in the Panthers, like they they had a good offseason,
50:24
Speaker 1: landed some sweet defensive players. Could say they overpaid for
50:27
Speaker 1: Jalen Phillips a little bit, but Devin Lloyd their draft
50:31
Speaker 1: was good, so I if he is just turns into
50:36
Speaker 1: like a top fifteen quarterback, they can win ten games.
50:40
Speaker 1: I think the question is if you put a Jared
50:45
Speaker 1: Goff on their team, I think a lot of people
50:47
Speaker 1: would be picking them to be a lock to win
50:48
Speaker 1: the division. Like that level quarterback Purty Baker not obviously
50:54
Speaker 1: struggled last year, but like I, we just don't know
50:56
Speaker 1: what we're getting. U been dealing with a head cold
51:00
Speaker 1: for a few days and decided to hit up the
51:01
Speaker 1: near by contrast therapy. This was my first time in
51:06
Speaker 1: an infrared sauna and the cold tub, and I can't
51:09
Speaker 1: wait until I have a reason to go back, could
51:11
Speaker 1: feel the toxins melting out of my body. I underestimated
51:15
Speaker 1: the difference between the infrared and the regular hot rocks.
51:19
Speaker 1: It ain't even close. The tub was unbearable the first time,
51:24
Speaker 1: but got a little easier. What does your circuit rotation
51:27
Speaker 1: look like? Would love to have a better idea of
51:29
Speaker 1: what I'm doing next time. The infrared sauna is the
51:34
Speaker 1: hottest thing I've ever been in. I look the other
51:37
Speaker 1: day because they have the degrees at the gym, it's
51:40
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty degrees. It feels like five hundred degrees.
51:43
Speaker 1: Some of these people have been wearing caps in the
51:46
Speaker 1: infrared sauna and I asked the guy. I was in
51:48
Speaker 1: the sauna yesterday and this dude just jacked tat it
51:52
Speaker 1: up and I was like, can I ask you something?
51:55
Speaker 1: And he looks, yeah, what's up? I was like, what
51:58
Speaker 1: does that cap do? And this guy, very articulate, just
52:02
Speaker 1: went on this long, like rant about out saying's brain cells.
52:06
Speaker 1: It's like what I do. When I got home, I
52:08
Speaker 1: went to Amazon. I bought two caps. He's like, actually,
52:11
Speaker 1: it makes it a little easier to stay in there longer,
52:14
Speaker 1: cause in the old Son of the Rocks one I
52:17
Speaker 1: can stay in for thirty minutes, no problem. This one
52:20
Speaker 1: it gets a ten. You're checking the clock every ten seconds.
52:24
Speaker 1: You're like, I need to get out of here. So
52:26
Speaker 1: I would say what I've been doing over the course
52:28
Speaker 1: of the last month is on days that I lift,
52:32
Speaker 1: which is probably like two three times a week, I
52:35
Speaker 1: will lift for an hour, not do any cardio, and
52:38
Speaker 1: just go to the infrared for fifteen minutes. And sometimes
52:42
Speaker 1: I can only make it like twelve or thirteen, but
52:44
Speaker 1: I'll always push past ten. It's like, can I make
52:46
Speaker 1: that last five? And you are just soaked? There's a
52:50
Speaker 1: steam room right next to it that doesn't feel that
52:53
Speaker 1: powerful once you've been doing the infrared, But I just
52:55
Speaker 1: like to go in the steam room for like a
52:56
Speaker 1: minute or two. Then I shower because I remember hearing
53:01
Speaker 1: someone in the in the community say like, you don't
53:04
Speaker 1: want to take a hot shower after the cold tub.
53:07
Speaker 1: It negates the cold tub. So then I'll shower, do
53:11
Speaker 1: a full wash, get in the cold tub. And when
53:15
Speaker 1: I first started doing it, probably a month ago, maybe
53:18
Speaker 1: a little longer month and a half, I could go
53:20
Speaker 1: like two minutes max. Now again, I actually think it's
53:23
Speaker 1: easier with a cold tub. This cold tub is a spa,
53:26
Speaker 1: so there's a big spa right next to it with
53:28
Speaker 1: just old naked dudes sitting in with the jets on.
53:31
Speaker 1: This is not like one of those you know, anyone
53:33
Speaker 1: that's been in the cold barrel or tub where you
53:35
Speaker 1: have to get in. Those are hard because you have
53:37
Speaker 1: to kind of like sit in. This one you kind
53:39
Speaker 1: of walk in, and I think it makes it a
53:41
Speaker 1: little easier. I've been pushing it to like three and
53:43
Speaker 1: a half four minutes, and then I will just go
53:46
Speaker 1: to my locker, grab my shit, change and you will
53:49
Speaker 1: be cold the rest of the day. So I end
53:51
Speaker 1: with the cold tub. But the infrared sona is is
53:56
Speaker 1: no joke. It is it is. It is so hot.
54:04
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get one of those little caps though they're
54:06
Speaker 1: like wool caps. It looks crazy, like this looks like you're,
54:10
Speaker 1: you know, dressing for Alaska, but you're in a sauna.
54:13
Speaker 1: And He's like, it saves the brain cells. There's actually
54:15
Speaker 1: something for I think like your balls too, because right
54:19
Speaker 1: after we got married and we're like, okay, let's let's
54:21
Speaker 1: try to have a kid. You know, usually just you
54:23
Speaker 1: know your heyday, just have sex. But when you're actually trying,
54:27
Speaker 1: You're like, start getting this regimented thing, and you know
54:31
Speaker 1: there are rules. So I'm like taking fish oils. My
54:34
Speaker 1: sweat smell like fish oil. She's like, you can't go
54:36
Speaker 1: on the sauna because it's not good for you. And
54:38
Speaker 1: the guy actually, when he was telling me about the
54:39
Speaker 1: cap told me about this thing that's like, you know,
54:42
Speaker 1: reduces your your swimmers and if the if the regular
54:48
Speaker 1: rocks reduce the swimmers, I can't even infrareds killing them all.
54:52
Speaker 1: Jack might be it after that, after a month of
54:55
Speaker 1: the infrared. Can you explain how fun it is to
55:11
Speaker 1: have a gambling sponsorship? I know you've not been able
55:15
Speaker 1: legality of it. How does it work with you having
55:18
Speaker 1: a strong connection to the NFL. I guess I don't
55:21
Speaker 1: even think about it. I've been doing this long enough
55:24
Speaker 1: that since I've been in podcasting, we've been involved with sponsors. Yeah,
55:29
Speaker 1: I just I guess I don't even think about it
55:31
Speaker 1: like that. I just think about them like another advertiser,
55:35
Speaker 1: which for me could be pretty organic because I like
55:37
Speaker 1: to gamble. I was supposed to, which would have been
55:43
Speaker 1: really cool, but my son was born so I had
55:46
Speaker 1: to They're like, hey, we want to do this thing
55:48
Speaker 1: in the National Championship. Is the hard rock you know,
55:50
Speaker 1: the said hard rock stadium, Miami's playing in it. Yeah,
55:54
Speaker 1: I just had a baby. I couldn't go, But that
55:58
Speaker 1: type of stuff would be cool. I wish we Florida
56:00
Speaker 1: was a little closer if I lived on the If
56:03
Speaker 1: I lived in Florida, i'd be I do stuff more
56:06
Speaker 1: like on premise with hard Rocks. It's just tough. But yeah,
56:10
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't really. I guess it's cool.
56:13
Speaker 1: It's hard rock, pretty iconic brand. You know, well before
56:18
Speaker 1: gambling has become so universal when I was young, and
56:21
Speaker 1: you think about like Vegas casinos, you're just casinos in
56:25
Speaker 1: just different areas, like DMGM hard Rock, which obviously they're
56:31
Speaker 1: huge in Florida. In the most reason Pod, you talked
56:34
Speaker 1: about a separate package for the games overseas. With a
56:36
Speaker 1: few of the games pushing for eighteen, it would make
56:40
Speaker 1: sense for the NFL to reach team play, to have
56:45
Speaker 1: each team play two games a year overseas, one home,
56:48
Speaker 1: one away. The quote package would be more appealing with
56:52
Speaker 1: more games on the docket. This is where I do
56:54
Speaker 1: think teams would be a little hesitant to spend that
56:58
Speaker 1: much time overseas. But maybe you're onto something. Maybe that's
57:01
Speaker 1: inevitable that they get much more aggressive with, like when
57:05
Speaker 1: you go, you go, But like would you make a
57:07
Speaker 1: team stay in Australia for two weeks? Would you make
57:10
Speaker 1: a team stay in Germany for two weeks? It's one
57:12
Speaker 1: thing for the Jags to stay in London. They've been,
57:15
Speaker 1: they feel pretty comfortable there. It's like, what about they're
57:19
Speaker 1: going to Japan sometime? Get ready for that? Brazil? You know,
57:23
Speaker 1: I watched Travis talk about it's like a fifteen hour
57:25
Speaker 1: flight on today's pod. You said that you don't like that.
57:29
Speaker 1: You don't like about the NFL going international? Is the
57:32
Speaker 1: early start time question for you. I'm a huge soccer fan,
57:36
Speaker 1: especially the Premier League. The Premier League has a pretty
57:39
Speaker 1: big US following where people get up early all the
57:43
Speaker 1: time to watch. Do you think this will translate with
57:46
Speaker 1: the NFL and they can learn a thing or two
57:49
Speaker 1: from our internationals, from thing or two from international soccer. Yeah,
57:57
Speaker 1: I mean I I would say the difference is and
57:59
Speaker 1: I I don't feel as comfortable talking about soccer. I
58:02
Speaker 1: saw Pep Lagartia stepping down from Man City. I actually
58:05
Speaker 1: read an article recently. They are under investigation for like
58:10
Speaker 1: a million financial disputes of like manipulating the salary cap,
58:14
Speaker 1: like paying the coach under the table. It's like, God,
58:16
Speaker 1: that's I love that shit. I wish that would happen
58:18
Speaker 1: in the NFL. But if man City plays Manchester United
58:23
Speaker 1: or whatever, the big matchup is Liverpool against Arsenal, I
58:29
Speaker 1: don't even know who's good, but you know what I mean,
58:32
Speaker 1: that game if it starts like it does an international
58:35
Speaker 1: game in London or Italy or whatever at six thirty
58:38
Speaker 1: our time Pacific Standard time on Sunday morning, that game
58:41
Speaker 1: is big. That'd be like if you told me Chiefs
58:44
Speaker 1: Bills or Ravens Bengals or Niners Rams kick off at
58:51
Speaker 1: six thirty in the morning. People are gonna get up
58:53
Speaker 1: for that. But if it's like a random like Cardinals
58:55
Speaker 1: playing the Jags, you know what, you know, Jets playing
58:59
Speaker 1: the Colts, Like, yeah, some people don't have to get up.
59:02
Speaker 1: So part of what you guys have the following or
59:04
Speaker 1: we can do f one. It's like that is the
59:07
Speaker 1: big race where it's like there's football on the rest
59:10
Speaker 1: of the day. So I do this for a living.
59:12
Speaker 1: If it's a big enough game I have to pay attention.
59:15
Speaker 1: But if it's like Jets Dolphins kicking off at six
59:18
Speaker 1: thirty in the morning, like, I'm sorry, I'm not hitting
59:21
Speaker 1: fucking I'm hitting snooze one. I'm not even setting in
59:24
Speaker 1: alarm because you know what, I don't have to talk
59:26
Speaker 1: about that game more likely for my business. And if
59:28
Speaker 1: I do, I'll go back and watch what I need
59:29
Speaker 1: to watch throughout the day or the following day. So
59:33
Speaker 1: if you set but I don't have a choice. If
59:35
Speaker 1: it's you know, Seattle playing the Cowboys or the you know,
59:39
Speaker 1: the Eagles playing the Ravens, I know I'm gonna talk
59:42
Speaker 1: about that game. So whether that game's on at six
59:45
Speaker 1: in the morning or the night game, like, I gotta
59:47
Speaker 1: watch it. And that is that what you guys are
59:50
Speaker 1: describing about F one or soccer. That is the biggest game.
59:55
Speaker 1: So people aren't typically getting up for random games, right,
59:59
Speaker 1: So when you you get up early, like for example,
1:00:03
Speaker 1: golf's fourth major is the British Open. Sometimes they tee off,
1:00:08
Speaker 1: you know, on Saturday and Sunday really early in the morning.
1:00:11
Speaker 1: I've been known to get up for that. Would I
1:00:13
Speaker 1: get up for some random tournament if they're no. So
1:00:17
Speaker 1: I think it's the importance of the product. I have
1:00:22
Speaker 1: a thought the Browns redid Miles Garrett's contract, making it
1:00:27
Speaker 1: easier to trade him. What if the Eagles, Browns, Pats
1:00:31
Speaker 1: pull off a three team trade. Eagles get Miles Garrett,
1:00:35
Speaker 1: Pats get AJ Brown and a second from Philly, Browns
1:00:40
Speaker 1: get both teams first in twenty seven and a Day
1:00:44
Speaker 1: two pick in twenty eight. Has there ever been a
1:00:46
Speaker 1: three team trade in the NFL if this was the NBA.
1:00:50
Speaker 1: I don't know if that is the exact trade, but
1:00:52
Speaker 1: that would make some sense. I think teams just work
1:00:56
Speaker 1: independently of each other. So I think how he's trying
1:00:59
Speaker 1: to get AJ Brown for a first round pick, right,
1:01:03
Speaker 1: So then he could make an offer to the Browns
1:01:06
Speaker 1: of like, I'll give you two first round picks twenty
1:01:11
Speaker 1: seven and twenty eight. Well he's got two and twenty seven.
1:01:14
Speaker 1: So even if he's like, hey, you take the best
1:01:16
Speaker 1: one of twenty seven, I still got one in my
1:01:18
Speaker 1: back pocket. I'm essentially just trading AJ Brown and a
1:01:22
Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight first round pick. Yeah. That I'm trying
1:01:26
Speaker 1: to get my years mixed up because the draft would
1:01:28
Speaker 1: be in twenty seven four Miles Garrett. But like, I
1:01:33
Speaker 1: need to get an asset four Miles Garrett to trade
1:01:35
Speaker 1: him to the Browns because or I mean for AJ Brown,
1:01:37
Speaker 1: because the Browns don't need a J. Brown, so like
1:01:40
Speaker 1: they wouldn't they wouldn't take a J. Brown in a
1:01:43
Speaker 1: first round pick four Miles Garrett, especially if they're like,
1:01:47
Speaker 1: well we can just flip them for the first. Well,
1:01:48
Speaker 1: how he's just flipping for the first then trade him,
1:01:49
Speaker 1: do you so? I see what you're doing. I'm all
1:01:53
Speaker 1: for it if they could pull that off. The scenario
1:01:56
Speaker 1: I see if Miles Garrett ends up on the Eagles.
1:02:00
Speaker 1: AJ Brown is traded and those assets are basically turned
1:02:08
Speaker 1: around and flipped to the Browns. But that's why, mate,
1:02:12
Speaker 1: potentially he's so dead set on it. Because remember Andrew Barry,
1:02:15
Speaker 1: the GM of the of the Browns. His twin brother
1:02:18
Speaker 1: works for Hawwie Roseman. So I remember a year ago
1:02:23
Speaker 1: when they made the Travis Hunter trade. Someone told me
1:02:25
Speaker 1: like that trade had been done for like two weeks,
1:02:28
Speaker 1: everyone in Philly new. I think the Eagles regret giving
1:02:31
Speaker 1: AJ Brown that extension. It's made this trade more complicated
1:02:37
Speaker 1: because of the the salary cap ramifications. I actually just
1:02:41
Speaker 1: saw baseball, so I headline. I didn't click that deep
1:02:44
Speaker 1: into it is like proposing a hard salary cap minimum
1:02:48
Speaker 1: and maximum. Good luck with that. Isn't that what they
1:02:52
Speaker 1: tried in ninety four and everyone and everyone went on
1:02:55
Speaker 1: strike and the season ended. So whenever baseball gets the momentum,
1:02:59
Speaker 1: they just find themselves in a ditch.
1:03:03
Speaker 3: So I.
1:03:05
Speaker 1: So much money now, I mean the numbers we're talking
1:03:07
Speaker 1: are huge, but it feels like that thing is headed
1:03:11
Speaker 1: for a disaster. Audios, have a great weekend. Talk to
1:03:13
Speaker 1: everyone soon. Peace The volume
