  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Don't bear the lead, my man.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: That would be in Canton, Ohio, the Holy Land, the
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Pro Football, the Hall of Fame in Cotton, Ohio. And
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: it was an island game of sorts. I want to
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: get too crazy on that. We're like a island, man
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: made island. There kick off the NFL exhibition schedule, a
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: standalone game. Everyone else will be playing this upcoming Thursday.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: But they kicked it all off with just one game.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: The Hall of Fame class led by Drew Brees and
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald and Roger Craig and those guys Adam Vinnit
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Terry get into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: then they had the game. And it's a tradition unlike
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: any other. I don't know if you saw this or not.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Perhaps not normally at this point, as just Josh will
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: point out and some others, I will say, well, I
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: watched it so you wouldn't have to. I watched it
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: so you wouldn't have to. That's not technically true. I
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: watched parts of it. I watched the pregame. I watched
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: the first five minutes of it, and I did flip
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: back when the baseball game. I was watching the Red
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Sox and the White Sox. That game went late, and
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: then I flipped over and watched the Pods and the Diamondbacks,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: and so I was watching some other stuff, and then
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I would flip back though during commercial. So I did
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: see some more of the game than I anticipated. And
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: as I mentioned on my weekly appearance with my buddy
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Bob Fescal there in Kansas City, we were talking about
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: if the Panthers and Cardinals played, like, what would the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: baseball equivalent of that beer, the basket all equivalent of that.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: You wouldn't pay any attention to it because it's the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: first exhibition game. And I love saying exhibition games because
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: NFL people go nuts. Oh they lose their mind. Oh
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: my god, they can't stand that you say exhibition game,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: it's a preciation game. No, it's an exhibition game. So
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers were told that's a football team, not
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: a good one. They played the Cardinals, told they're the
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals, also not a good team. So the Panthers
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: and Cardinals got together, and if you care about such things,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Carolina was a one point favorite. They did win the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: game over the Cardinals. I'm a final play a game,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: a wild preseason opener. Oh the drama of athletic competition,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: game winning rushing touchdown by someone named Haines King. I
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: have no idea who that is, no idea who that is.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I just know that anyone who's got a pulse is
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: better than Kenny Pickett.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: That's all I know.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: So the the game, it was kind of early on, not.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: All that great.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: That was when Kenny Pickett was in there early on
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: first and then there were a lot of points scored,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: and so we are told this guy Haines King was
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: one of the breakout stars. He had a couple of
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: touchdown passes and he did not turn the ball over
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: and had multiple scoring drives and all that. So there
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: you go. Meanwhile, the story that everyone's yapping about, though,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: is not Haines King or Haines underwear. It's the Cardinals
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: rookie from the U after of course, spending most of
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: his college career at Georgia. This guy riding that nil
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: trainch getting all that nil money, baby Carson Beck, and
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: now he's getting NFL money. Not a lot because he
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: wasn't a high draft pick, but Carson Beck getting a
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: lot of buzz for this performance. Impressed the popular people
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: with their popular opinions. As his practice debut, he attempted
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: nineteen passes, completed fifteen of them. This seems to be good.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Had a touchdown and pretty amazing accuracy. A lot of
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: buzz about Carson Beck. That's what we're talking about. So good.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Jumping off point, let us discuss the question Carson Beck
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: seemingly dominating the Hall of Fame game for the Cardinals.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Were you impressed? Were you impressed?
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: So I've got solar panels, humpback whale, and construction foreman,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together. And
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: just because just because we can play three dimensional chests
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: if we do that, so a, as the great comedian
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Larry David would say, eh, I don't think so, eh,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I don't. I very rarely give out flowers. As you know,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I don't give out a lot of those. I don't
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: believe in that. Now that said, certainly would not do
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: that in this environment. Carson Beck did play with with confidence.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Good for him.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: He hit what eighty percent of his passes something like
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: that there, so that's nice. He did not soil his
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: under ruse, which is important. We've seen people, even in
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: these exhibition games, go out there and then just for
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: what of a reason, they can't get it done. And
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the key part of this is you do not want
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: to become an internet meme because of your pathetic performance.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: So he didn't do that. Again, you know, you didn't
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: soil your diapers, so good for you. Way to go.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: My position has always been, you can't gain much from
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: an exhibition game. You can lose a lot. Like you're
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: just supposed to do well because of the way these
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: things are set up, and you don't get extra credit
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: for that for doing what you're supposed to do. Now,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: if you don't do well, though, that becomes problematic. However,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I would like to pump the brakes. Now, let's pump
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the brakes. Put yep, Yeah, you gotta do it. Let's
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: not fit Carson Beck for a gold jacket just yet.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Maybe a brown jacket, but not a gold jacket. I
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: refuse to crown anybody off a glorified scrimmage. I won't
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: do it. And did he carve up the Carolina defense? Yeah?
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Was that vanilla ice cream?
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: It should have come with sprinkles. The Panthers defense absolutely
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: should add sprinkles on top. Was Carson Beck throwing against
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: guys who will be selling solar panels by Halloween? Probably so?
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Probably so? Were the defensive coaches for Carolina trying to
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: hide what they were doing? Were they running some exotic
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: camouflash coverages? In early August of twenty twenty six? Let
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: me check my notes. No, no, so one exhibition game
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: does not rewrite the scouting report. It just gives the
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: social media bot army, the algorithm something to obsess with
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: and hallucinate about.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: And oh my god, the birth of a star.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Oh man, And you're.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Like, okay, In my life.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I can count on one hand the amount of people
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: that have been breakout stars, and none of them were
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: from an exhibition game. Like in my life doing this,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I mean this for a while. The one that still
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: stands out above and beyond everyone else in my time
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: doing sports radio is Kurt Warner. When Kurt Warner took
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: over for the Saint Louis Rams for Trent Green, and
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: he did it in a regular season game, it looked
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: like he was playing at a different speed with the
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Saint Luis and that was just insand but that was
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: a real game. It wasn't an exhibition game. So our
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: default position is a skeptical capital s skeptical. If I
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: was one of the seven Cardinal fans in the Valley
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: of the Sun, I would rather see Carson Beck play
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: than Jacoby Brissett.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: That's accurate, Like, is just no reason to play Brissette.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Of course he bitched and moaned, so he gave more money. Like,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: even if Carson Beck's terrible, which he probably will be,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I'd rather have him play than Jacoby Brissett. All right, Meanwhile,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: let's get down to the meet and potatoes of this.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: We're not gonna remember much about that. I sore of
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: a game, even though it was high scoring and all that,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: because you know, guys are not going to be on
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: the team. Players will be backups, practice squad players, twisting
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: in the wind. The broadcast though, and b see they
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: debuted their new look studio team there in Canton, Ohio,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: which was, let's be honest here really about one guy,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: and I guess they got rid of a few people
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: and they hired Devin mccordy. Okay, whoopee, damn do and
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: then the guy is the guy and it's not Devin mccordy,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: So let's just get right into it. Question for the
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Esteem panel, what are your first impressions of Mike Tomlin. Yes,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: that Mike tom and the old Steelers coach made his
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: debut at the Peacock on this exhibition game as they
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: made some sweeping changes to their pregame festivities and their
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: halftime festivities.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: So this was what I tuned in for.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I did I actually watch the pregame crap, which I
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: hate because of Tomlin. I did. I wanted to see
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: what I was gonna get. Mike Tomlin did not disappoint
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: his debut over there on NBC. Did not just elevate
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the network. He redecorated that sputtering studio show with competence.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Now is he Charles Barklet?
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: No?
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Was he good? Yeah? Yeah? And there's that line that
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: has been used many times. You don't want to follow legends, right,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: You don't want to step into the footsteps of a legend.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: You don't want to do it. And fortunately for Tomlin,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: you look at this. I mean, going from Tony Dungeee
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: to Mike Tomlin is like if you're doing some outdoor
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: work and you go from using a butter knife to
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: cut down the tree and then you get a chainsaw, Well,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: I'd much rather have a chainsaw than a butter knife
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: to cut down a tree. And Dungeee in his commentary
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: if he I wanted to put viewers to sleep, you
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: hire Tony Dungeee. My god, was he terrible. And let's
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: be honest and replacing Dungeee, it's not filling big shoes,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: it's filling empty crocs where all you previously needed was
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: a pulse and the ability to speak above a whisper.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: And you're better than Dungee. So Tomlin just default wise
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: better than Dungeee and you get rid of him. You're
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: bringing Tomlin side by side. It's like shahdeh right, smooth operator,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: so incredibly polished. He's been serving up bull crap to
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: the media for twenty years in Pittsburgh. And Tomlin's the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: kind of guy. He's got this smooth delivery. He could
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: sell bottled water to a humpback whale someone out in
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: the Pacific Ocean. There's a humpback, Hey, hump back, Where
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: would you like some bottled water?
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Well, I've got plenty of water. But yeah, you've got saltwater.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: This is not saltwater.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'll buy a case. Why not? His cadence was
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: on point, and there weren't as many. I'm sure once
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: the year gets going, we'll get many more tomlinisms. And
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: the way he throws those things out, he's like he's selling.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: He ever been to those airport news stands they have
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: at the airport where they sell the headphones, the snacks
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: and all that, and then they always have the book section.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: There's tons of self help books at the airport, and
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Tomlin is like he's selling those. He talks football like
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: he's reading poetry written by linebackers. And the broadcast is
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: the broadcast. That's what Tomlin should say. Now, and the
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: viewers to another tomlinism. They were left, fat, sassy and spoiled,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: all right. And when you don't get it done. Words
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: are cheap, Tomlin, His words are not cheap. It is
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: estimated Mike tom is getting paid in the neighborhood of
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: ten million dollars, so not cheap, not cheap. Early returns
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: are encouraging for Mike Tomlin. They are definitely encouraging. All right. Now,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: last word, turning the page from the Hall of Fame game,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: we now go to another former NFL coach who is
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: currently sitting out SID He's still getting paid by his
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: old team. He is currently not employed in the NFL.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: We're talking about dateline Buffalo former Bills coach Shaan McDermott.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Sean McDermott has resurfaced. He's come crawling out of his
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: cave there and commenting publicly after I was firing from
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Buffalo after that playoff loss to the Denver football team,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: and McDermott said, among other things, he has no bitterness
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: towards the Buffalo football team and is focused on prepping
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: for the future. Okay, that's very exciting. McDermott said he
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: has spent his time away from actual coaching to study
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: and research, and of course I always play the family card.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Oh family, family, Family, And he emphasized that he's continually
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: learn self improvement. Self improvement essential if you want to
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: be an NFL head coach. Okay, blah blah, blah blah blah.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: McDermott also reflected and he pumped his chest down, very
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: proud of his tenure with the Bills and ending the
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: seventeen year playoff in competence there in Buffalo his first
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: season and getting the postseason eight out of nine years
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: there with the Bills, and he dug his heels in
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: arguing that those accomplishments that he had as coach of
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: the Bills deserve perspective despite not getting it done, not
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: even losing a Super Bowl. You got to get to
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: a Super Bowl to lose a Super Bowl, and they
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: didn't do that. So the question what did you take
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: away from Sean McDermott, former head coach Sean McDermott and
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: his recent comments on his time in Buffalo, So on
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: this one, the breakdown is easy PC Lemon squeeze. It's
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: very simple McDermott talking about Buffalo. Sean McDermott talking about
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Buffalo and all that. It's kind of like, and I
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: had a friend like this back in the day, that
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: dude that reminisces about his ex girlfriend and talks about
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: how great she was and man, we had some really
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: good times. I loved her. Yeah, she also threw all
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: my stuff out in the lawn and she changed the locks.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: But I loved her.
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: It's like, come on, dude, McDermott.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Needs his love. He needs his love so bad. It's
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: like he's he wants those flowers. He's standing outside the
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Conroy's floor shop with a coupon. He's got this sad face.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: McDermott trying to get that credit for building the bills
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: and listen that the bills were terrible for a generation.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: They made the playoffs all these years and that's great.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: And so it is true that Sean McDermott built the
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills into a skyscraper. However, turns out also McDermott
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: was the construction foreman who failed to finish the project.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: The skyscraper was not built. He got fired. It was
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: built not all the way. He got fired before the
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: ribbon coming. It's kind of like the building in downtown
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: LA that they ran out of money and then it
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: became a mosaic to graffiti and it was up for
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the last couple of years. I guess they cleaned it
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: up or supposed to clean it up recently there but
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the there's a skyscraper in LA they didn't finish it
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: at condo building. It was just covered with the graffiti,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: just every floor, like seventy floors of nothing but graffiti,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: just a complete eyesore, just perfect, kind of like the
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Bills in big games. So now now McDermott is doing
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: the I'm not bitter, but also please notice me, Please
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: notice me. He's doing this media tour to keep his
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: name in the media for his next spin on the
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: coaching carousel.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: Round and round and round and round, round and round
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: and round and round the coaching carousel.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Now it is more than likely that there will be
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: a handful of coaches fired. I would not imagine as
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: many as this year. There were ten coaching changes in
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: the NFL this last coaching cycle. The next coaching cycle.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: There's some that are rather obvious, like Tampa Bay. If
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: they don't win, you say, well, that's that's a change.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: That's that's a change waiting to happen. There'll be something
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: going on there, and then you know, you look around, well, Indianapolis,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: would they do something you got a lot of supposed
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: loyalty there. Maybe there's something there, and then there'll be
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: at least one or two of the new hires that
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: do get whacked after one year. That usually happens, That
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: normally happens. So again McDermott listening to his bull crap,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: very buttoned up, very buttoned up, so buttoned up, he
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: makes the TSA agents at the airport look for casual
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: and he just sounds like a meditation app which does
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: explain how McDermott seemingly failed. I didn't see anything where
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: he got one of these plumb media gigs. I mean,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: they hire anybody, it's a jock or a coach, and

• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Our lead this hour from Detroit. That's right, little Detroit, money, money, money,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: the Lions after much media complaining, advocating, banging the table,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: so upset these media dopes that Jamier Gibbs had not
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: gotten paid. Well, abra kadabra, hocus pocus and tenna, Yeah
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: it has happened. Did you see this? You did not? Okay,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: After that big uproar earlier this week, the Lions, we
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: are told and running back Jamiir Gibbs have agreed to
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: the mega millions paiday three years and sixty seven and
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: a half million dollars for Jamier Gibbs, a contract extension,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: a tremendous mitzvah for Jamiir Gibbs, fifty one and a
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: half million dollars guaranteed. After all that screaming and moaning
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: and all of that sounded like a former NFL player
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: in an arcade. So the extension makes Jamier Gibbs the
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: highest paid running back in the NFL. Which, man, how
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: about Jon Robinson there in Atlanta that lasted less than
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: forty eight hours after he got his deal. Gibbs got
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: his contract almost like they planned it out that way, like, hey,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: you sign your deal and I'll get my deal. Okay, sure,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: no problem. And we are told that the new contract,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: and you are very concerned about the bookkeeping, the bean
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: counting that's going on here. So as we understand the
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Lion's running back, Jamier Gibbs, his contract will average twenty
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: two and a half million per year in new money,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: new min It's kind of like the raises they give
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: out here, very generous, like the NFL there resetting the market,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: resetting the market. So the Lions are pumping their chest
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: out and they're like, oh, this is great, and we
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: eliminated a distraction, the training camp hold in. The hold
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: in is now over allowing jamieer Gibbs to actually get
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: on the field and play football, and good luck and
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: no more just standing there malingering. You're gonna have you
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: have to play and you got a lot of money,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: so figure out how to spend that money and where
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: to put that money. I recommend starting a nonprofit. One
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: of the great ways to take money is a nonprofit.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: I had a buddy of mine who came into a
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: lot of money years ago, like a lot of money,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: like so much money. I don't even talk to this
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: person anymore. And the financial advisors said, there's two things
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: you need to do. He's living here in Los Angeles,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: got leave La go to Florida. That's the first thing
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: you do. Okay, I'll move to Florida. And the financial
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: advisor said, the second thing you need to do is
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: start a nonprofit and then you can pay your relatives
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: and friends through the nonprofit. Okay, done. It's great scam,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: great hustle, and a lot of people continue to send
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: money to nonprofits. And what a scam that is. Anyway,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: I got a little sidetracked there. So this is all
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: about Jamiir Gibbs and his money. So that is a
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question does
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: this Gibbs deal with the Lions come with a satisfaction guarantee?
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Does it have a satisfaction guarantee? So my observations. Here,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: I've got Costco, rotisserie, chicken, reading glasses, and Carfax and
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: will provide the ball and chain which Jamiir Gibbs now
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: has tied to the Lions, for better or worse, whether
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: he acts a fool or not, for the next couple
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: of years. Jamar Cha, Jamier Gibbs is getting that money.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: So Jamiir Gibbs getting paid a lot of money.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: So number one to answer, does.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: This Jamiir Gibbs deal with the Lions come with a
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: satisfaction guarantee. I have two letters, n oh and oh.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Now this this is going to shock you. It comes
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: with the classic NFL. I hope this contract does in
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: age like milk claws in the contract. And look, Gibbs
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: is good. He's a good football players twenty four. He's dynamic,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: and you pay the difference maker. We talked about this
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: the other day with Jon Robinson in Atlanta. The NFL
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: is like a Mexican drug lord. They have so much
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: money they don't know what to do with the money.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: It's insane the amounts of money they're making in an
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: age where everyone watches streaming the only thing people watch
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: live is sports, and the only sport people watch more
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: than any other sport is the NFL in America. So
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: they're making so much money they don't what to do
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: with it. And that's great. That said, the man's a
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: running back, and running backs, as every man, woman and
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: child knows, running backs depreciate faster than if you were
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: to buy a Costco or Tisseery chicken. You're here in
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: August or September, and you forgot it in your trunk,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: and it was in the morning, and then you came
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: back at night. Well, no one's gonna eat that. The
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: flies and the and the vermin will eat the Costco
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Ortissey chicken if it's been left in your trunk of
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: your car all day in the sun. Other than that,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: forget about it. Running backs, I'm told, if they played
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: the proper way, running a mile a minute absorb a
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: lot of contact, almost more than any other position, because
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: when you're running the football, even when you're not running
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: the ball, you're gonna be blocking, so you get a
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: lot of contact. And history history has shown that even
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: the elite running backs have a notoriously short shelf life
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: of dominance. You can play a while, but the dominance
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: is normally far and few between, and so this guy's
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: not that old. They say, well, that's fine, he's not
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: that old. The Detroit's front office the Lion's front office. Apparently,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: based on a minutes long deliberation of the available information,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: the Lions front office skipped the chapter on the NERD Symposium.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: They handed out a pamphlet at the NERD Symposium, positional value,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: the ven diagram on positional value paying premium money where
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: most teams cheap out with a committee approach. The Lions
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: are betting that this will continue to be the exception
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: to the rule, and in the NFL, the rule usually wins.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: The rule usually wins. All right. Now, Meanwhile, to Indianapolis,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: we keep the theme of the hour going running backs
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: and money, money, money. So the Colts do you see this?
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: The Colts and their star running back Jonathan Taylor. They've
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: got an agreement. Taylor gets a new two year, forty
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: four million dollar contract extension, with a deal reportedly worth
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: up to forty seven million with incentives. The extension includes
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: thirty nine million, Gamaronte thirty nine million. You put all
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: your papers in, you get thirty nine million. And that
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: is added on to the final year of Taylor's current contract,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: keeping him.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: Under team control.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: You're very concerned about this till twenty twenty eight, thus
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: ending the will Taylor go to another team mantra which
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: had been bouncing around. It would appear not anytime soon.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: He will remain in Indianapolis. He's twenty seven and has
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: publicly said I want to be a Colt for life.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Of course you say that, what else would you say?
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: And the extension fulfilling that part of it for now
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: as one of the better running backs in the NFL.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Another top running back getting a contract. So the question,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: how do you categorize Jonathan Taylor getting this new extension
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: after having been at loggerheads the last couple of years
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: with the Indianapolis football team, So how do he categorize Taylor?
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor big extension here with the Colts. With the Colts.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: So on this one, call me Benny Brightside. It's what
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: I call it, two w or go win win A
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: mal the report card on this, I'm gonna give an
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: A plus for Indy, an A plus and a B
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: plus for Jonathan Taylor.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: That's on the Malar report card. And look Taylor.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: He didn't reset the market like but John Robinson did
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: and then Jamier Gibbs. So he didn't reset the market.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: He just kind of nudged it politely. It was like
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: a polite little push and asked for exact change. And
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: the Colts, listen, the Colts paid him like a steam
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: engine locomotive that he is leading the way and everyone
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: is behind him, all the box cars and the caboose
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: and all that or behind him. And at the same time, though,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: they're protecting themselves a bit, the Colts, if you look
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: at the contract here, they're protecting themselves like they're buying
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: a used car and the carfax is a little suspicious,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: like a little suspicious on the car facts. So they're
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: they're like, Okay, well, we like the car. It looks good,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: some cosmetic stuff that needs to be fixed, but is
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: there something under the hood that we don't know about,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: and we're a little suspicious of the car facts.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: And that's what they're saying.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: And you look at the comps on this, because the
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: deal only runs through age twenty nine, the age twenty
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: nine season, from that standpoint, it actually pays off even
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: as the odometer nears I believe Taylor, for my math
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: is correct. He's nearing eighteen hundred carries touch career touches
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: is the There's this magic formula that they figured out
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: in Dorksville and in Dortsville. If you go over a
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: certain number of touches, it doesn't matter how old you are,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: you're porked at that particular point. And ity completely avoids
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: the running back death zone, the death zone of the
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: running back, so there's no bloated years. I didn't see
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: any escalate and all that stuff. Now that said, make
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: no mistake if you look at the projections for the
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Indianapolis football team, if you are trying to find the
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: treasure map there, Taylor, he is going to have to
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: play like Atlas and put the franchise on his back.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: They are the headless horseman there in Indianapolis. They don't
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: have a quarterback. They have a dime store operation. The
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: incompetent Daniel Jones, who's not the guy. You're not the guy,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Palt You're not the guy. And he was floating on
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: air for a couple of weeks and then he's started
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: stinking to high heaven. Then he got hurt, and so
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: people forget about that but before he got hurt, he
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: had returned to be the Daniel Jones. We remembered Vanilla
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Vick from his time with the Giants. All right, now,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: final point, So we have seen let's do the math
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: on this. We saw Jean Robinson check. We saw Jonathan
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Taylor check check, and Jamiir Gibbs check check check all
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: get paid massive lottery like payouts in the last couple
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: of days. So three big time deals. The question has
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: the NFL as a whole now cracked the code, the
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: running back code? Has the NFL done it? So I
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: am nodding my head yes on this, I am nodding
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: my head. Yes, they have done it. The old NFL
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: running back model, the playbook has officially been put into
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: the shredder. And that's it, right, turning out to be
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: a archaic mindset of years gone by. The secret formula
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: now is SBS stop being stupid? Is the current formula
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: now that they're using? And forget about five year mega
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: mega mega contracts praying that the tires don't blow off
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: the car. With Jamiir Gibbs, Robinson and Taylor landing all
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: similar in contract length deal short high dollar extensions. The
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: team it's not like they cracked the code. They just
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: finally put on their reading glasses and they read the
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: damn instructions. It's it's like Buckingham Palace, like changing of
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: the guard. And it wasn't that many years ago. It
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: was not that many years ago that the Christian McCaffrey
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: and Zeke Elliott got these massive contracts long term security.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: And we're not doing that anymore. The new blueprint is
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: rather simple. You know it and I know it. Gidea up. Now,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: if you're running back, get paid. You pay the elite
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: running back premium dollars for two or three years as
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: long as you're under the age of thirty and in
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: your prime, and then make sure to get out of them.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: It's like having a lease and then getting out of
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: the lease when the mileage catches up, and then get
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: out of there. And so the teams have been valueing
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: the position more. Remember those stories, Oh the death of
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: the running back.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: Oh boo, no more running back. So it has changed
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: and the teams.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: I was talking to somebody who works in that world
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: and they were pointing out that some teams have realized
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: you actually have a better chance of getting a premium
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: running back than a quarterback.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: There are more running.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Backs that can be premium players, like top level running backs,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: than quarterbacks. Of course, the problem is to truly get
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: to that next level, you've got to have a decent
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: quarterback at least. But they've seen teams that have had
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: great records and good success where they don't have a
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: great quarterback. They have a game manage your quarterback and
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: they have a really dominant running back and that works
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: out pretty well pretty well, So it's a different way
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: to work around not having a wonderful quarterback. But again,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: as soon as the mileage catches up to you, you
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: get out on that. And it's not like it's like
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: high minded analytics or anything along those lines. Basic common
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: sense which is not common. And this is the kind
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: of stuff that your babushka could have explained while stirring
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: gravy for you. Your babushka could have explained, well, you know,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: you pay this guy, but you get to a certain age,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: you don't pay him anymore. You know, you don't don't
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: pay for the decline. You buy the prime and you
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: don't pay for the decline. That is the goal. When
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: they fade off into the sunset.
• 32:21

• 32:33
  Speaker 1: This, yeah, is one big event gets grilled cool.
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: So Deebo Samuel's new contract with the forty nine ers
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: includes two point nine million in incentives. Four hundred and
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: fifty thousand of that comes if he has eight hundred
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: and three yards from scrimmage, and another four hundred and
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: fifty k if he gets seven touchdowns. Ben, do you
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: think you'll hit either of those incentive marks?
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: I would say he'll hit one of them. The seven
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: touchdown thing is hard to do. The seven touch stout
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: thing is hard to do. You figure, if you're if
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: you're playing most of the games and you don't get
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: eight hundred yards and you're in the rotation, that's a
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: terrible season for Deebo sam So I'll say my money's
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: on he'll get over eight hundred yards. He will not
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: get over seven or more touchdowns.
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: Next and our last season, sam Donold completed a redemption
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: story for the Ages Stop. You know, do you think
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: there are any other quarterbacks that can redeem themselves this season?
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously there are plenty of quarterbacks that are you know,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: how about Aaron Rodgers riding off into the sunset winning
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. He's been in the dumps the last
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: couple of years, A certain quarterback for the Houston Texas.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: There's a much next.
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: I was revealed this week that when Jean Robinson got
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: his big contract from the Falcons, one of the congratulations
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: texts he got was from Matthew McConaughey, Ben, who's the
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: most famous person you've received a text from?
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: There have been a few. I think TV's Hunter. You know,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: I'm in a big, great, big star. Number one pick
