• 0:07
  Speaker 1: The Season with Peter Schrager is a production of the
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio. What's up, Everybody? This is
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Peter Schreger. This is the Season with Peter Schrager. I'm
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: joined by Aaron wang Kaufman, my wonderful Palin producer.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Here.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I'm currently eighty five percent. If you saw Good Morning
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Football on Monday, you saw me at thirty percent. I
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: got stuck with a disgusting bout of food poisoning. I
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: don't need to go into the details, just brutal Sunday night,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: and then Monday morning, did Good Morning Football, then flew
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: across the country while battling demons, demons, brother demons Erin Tuesday,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: don't remember anything, all a blur, and then Wednesday morning,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I'm feeling better. But we are now recording this on
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: a Wednesday, and I have not eating a thing since Sunday,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: which is pretty impressive and a good way to kickstart
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: a diet. Unfortunately, I'm not seeing the results. I look
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: at my reflection on this video over filming, but I
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: feel like maybe i'll put on some pants later and
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I'm down to size and that I'll kickstart, which should
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: be an interesting journey back to my playing weight. I
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: say all that because we don't have a guest this week.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I didn't even think to reach out. But we're not
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: going to not do a podcast. So Aaron, are we cool?
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Just the two of us riffing for a little bit
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: and given the listeners, the old school Aaron and Peter
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: go back and forth show or what.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: That sounds great? We got, we got some Broadway lined up,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: we got I'm here like we talk Broadway.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I slow down, slow down. My little monologue
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: is going to be about something that could be outdated
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: by one o'clock today as we record this at twelve
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: forty five. And that's why I'm a little hesitant to
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: go down a deep dive on it. A that it
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: might be news already by the time this publishers and
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: if so, fine, and that every minute that slips away
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: means it's less and less likely to happen. This whole
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Bill Belichick North Carolina thing is fascinating to me. I
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: think it's very real. I think it's very unorthodox. I
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: don't think necessarily is something that either side was seriously
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: entertaining until it happened pretty quickly that he met with them,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: then met with them again. And I know this isn't
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: as flattering to Belichick as maybe we'd like to make
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: it be. I don't know if there's an NFL job
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: that's going to be available, and I know that's not
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: what anyone wants to hear. It's not the sexy headline,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: it's not the North Carolina's recruiting him like to know
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: end that this is him pushing them away and giving
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: them the heisman. I don't know there's three available jobs
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: right now that we know of. It's the Jets, the Bears,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and the Saints, or at least we don't think they're
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: hiring those interim coaches. None of those organizations, though they
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: have the ability to pick his brain, talk to him
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: and have a casual sit down, has done any sort
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: of effort to go and meet with the man. You
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: go down the list, everyone assumes like Jacksonville is gonna
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: be handing over everything to him. Well, Trent Balkey just
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: signed a major deal with Walker Little, an offensive lineman,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: giving him real money. And I don't know if owners
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: usually let the GM sign a player to a major
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: extension in week thirteen. If the GM isn't at least
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: considered to be coming back. Go down the list of
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: teams Dallas. At one point it sounded like a great marriage.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Belichick comes in, Jerry can finally watch as a coach
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: brings his team back to relevance, and maybe Belichick breaks
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Sholo's record and does it for the Cowboy. The more
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: and more you hear out of Dallas, I'm not so
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: certain Mike McCarthy isn't back next year. And if Mike
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: McCarthy isn't the guy, is Bill Belichick. The guy's eighty
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: two year old Jerry Jones hiring seventy three year old
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Bill Belichick to bring his whole cast characters in. I
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: don't know Tampa. I don't think they're firing Todd Bowles. Miami.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're firing Mike McDaniel. Go down the
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: list of teams. Arizona's keeping Jonathan Gannon, Indianapolis isn't firing
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Shane Stike And where is the home? The irony is
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: team that could use a new coach perhaps and bringing
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: a whole bunch of new guys is maybe his old
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: team New England. But we're not going down that road again.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: And I don't think they're getting rid of Gerrodmeyo either.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: If there is no NFL job in hand, and Belichick
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: did this year sabbatical away working for eleven different media
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: companies and showing his personality on the Manning Cast and
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: coming off quite likable with Pat McAfee and crushing the draft,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: which I thought was his best moment. I thought he
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: was amazing on the draft with McAfee. And you know,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: joining Instagram, he's got the younger girlfriend that everyone jokes about.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: But whatever you want to say or not, like, he's
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: obviously opening up a little bit more. He's on social media.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: He's trying to do things with a smile publicly, which
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: was not always his media presence. If the NFL's not
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: there and he's looking at his legacy and it's I
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: still want to coach, the North Carolina job is pretty
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: darn good. He'll come in. He'll be able to bring
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: in his people, whether that's including Josh McDaniels or Matt
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Patricia or even his son Steven who's a defensive coordinator
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: at Washington right now. Mick Lombardi he can bring. He
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: can bring in Mike Lombard, he can bring in all
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: his guys. They can build up an NFL style program
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: in the ACC at a really good academic institution, a
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: place where his father once coached, and do so with
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: an ability to come in and say look at the rings, obviously,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: look at the parents, and say, hey, look what you're kidding.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Going to get is an a plus education at one
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: of the best finest academic institutions, but also a whole
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: added bonus of a way to live your life and
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: a way to manage yourself on a schedule. And I'm
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: going to take an NFL style approach to these kids
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: and treat them like professionals, but do so in an
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: undergraduate setting. I think there's a lot worse places to
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: do it than North Carolina. I also think if you're
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: looking at that clock and it's okay, you don't have
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Tony and Shad Khan reaching out to you behind the
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: scenes and saying, hey this just hang tight there, like
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: let us get let Doug get through this year, let
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: turn Balki get through this year. Then we're going to
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: hand it over to you. And if you don't have,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: you know, an organization like the Bears, who are two
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: weeks removed from firing their head coach reaching out to
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: you to at least have a coffee, and you want
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: to coach, and that's what you're doing, and that's what
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: you want to do, and that's your livelihood. Like I
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: don't know, North Carolina might be the place. And then
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the question is there's North Carolina want that. I think
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: they should. I think it's a swing at the bat.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: And then perhaps he says, all right, and at some
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: point we handed over to Josh McDaniels or my son Steven,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: and they run it from that point and you're getting
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: a smooth transition. If I'm not coaching for ten years,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: but say I'm doing it for three, four or five.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Bruce Feldman is someone I really respect. Bruce Feldman writes
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: college football articles for The Athletic. He's also the main
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: college football insider on Fox. He brought up a really
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: interesting point in The Athletic a couple of days ago
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: that has been glossed over with all of our NFL.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: You know, we bow to the and we kissed the
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: rings and the whole thing. Bill Walsh retired, did TV.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: George Seaffert took over the Niners. Bill Walsh came back
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: and did three unremarkable seasons at Stanford in three years
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: that were not anything that anyone talks about, that are
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: not a part of his legacy that no one even
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: mentions his second goal around there. And I mean I
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: think John Lynch played for Bill Walsh, if I'm not mistaken,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: And so that was late eighties he came back early nineties.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Got to double check that one, but I believe it
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: was in that era of like post Lway obviously, but
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: late eighties early nineties Stanford and Bill Walsh came back
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: and it was like a and Bill Walsh was significantly
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: younger than what Belichick is now. Say all this to
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: say that I wouldn't be shocked if we get the
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: story that Bill Belichick is the head coach at North Carolina,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: and I would embrace it. I would look forward to it.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: It's a new approach to it. It's not Mac Brown
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: coming back to a college program. It's Bill Belichick coming
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: with a vengeance to show what he's still got and
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: to show that he could take on this nil and
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: recruiting thing like no one elver has before. I mean
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the fact that Saban's retired and is younger than Belichick
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: and has already walked away as probably the greatest college
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: coach since Bear Bryant's interesting as now Belichick is going
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: to dip his toes into those waters. It was almost
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: like it was church and State. Belichick's the NFL guy,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Saban's the college guy. They get along, great, beautiful friendship.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Belichick's going back to college. It excites me. It excites
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: me more than hearing Belichick is going to the Jacksonville
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Jaguars again. We'll wait and see, but that is my
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: initial thoughts. And I would add two cents from two
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: guys I've really grown to really enjoy, and that's Julian
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Edelman and Robert Gronkowski. I was with them this past
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: weekend at Fox, and it's just green room chatter, and
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: this is where the best stuff comes out. And I
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: didn't have any of this conversation with Brady, so I
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: can't even weigh in with his thoughts, but I'm sure
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: it's in line with these two. They both were like,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine I can't imagine Belichick sitting down and
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: like begging a kid and then offering him money to
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: play college football, and then you know, the second the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: season's over, the kid declaring to the transfer portal. I'm
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: like that's just the thought of Belichick groveling or even
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: having to like barter for this thing is beyond their belief.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: But they all said the same thing, like they're amazing
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: better people because of their time with Bill, and if
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: you could instill that into a college kid, that kid's
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: going to be very you know, well off for the
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: rest of his life. Aaron, You're not as connected as
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: I am necessarily as far as these conversations go. But
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: you follow the NFL Belichick college coach. What was your
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: reaction when you heard that news that he interviewed with
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: you and c I had.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: I had two initial thoughts. The first one is I
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: kind of love it, Like I love the idea that
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: here's someone who has put together some of the greatest
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: coaching that you know, especially my generation has ever seen.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: And the thought that hey, he's just gonna go conquer
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: something else. Maybe like maybe his time has been his,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: the NFL has passed him by, but he could still
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: do really well, and I think he would.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: He would he would like jump through the screen and
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: be like, that's not the case. Let me get that
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: NFL bite at the Apple I had not passed me by.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I just don't know if a team is willing to
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: hand him that opportunity. So if that's the case, is
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: he jump into It's almost like before you break up
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: with me, I'm going to break up with you, NFL.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: That's how I see it.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, the other thing I thought is, after
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: this this year of being smiley and fun and posing
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: with his girlfriend on Instagram pictures in Halloween costumes, does
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: he want something that's maybe a little less cutthroat?
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Does he want to go in and be more like
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: helping to develop these kids, right father figure, as opposed
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: to maybe like the really difficult, you know, strict coach
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: that we know of from you.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I think talking to these college guys, they're so burned
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: out of the college game, a lot of them. Jeff Halfley,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I couldn't speak on being his behalf, but he was
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the coach at PC. He chose to be a defensive
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: coordinator at the Packers over being a head coach at
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Bustin College. Chip Kelly was the head coach at UCLA.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: He says, this the thing for me, the offensive coordinator.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: I think being a head coach in the college.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Game is a young man's game, dude.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: It is recruiting, hustling, reading these websites, reading the blogs,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: spending other people's money. It's it's almost a I it's
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: almost an easy I don't know. Maybe it's not his cutthroat.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: You can go six and six at in Chapel Hill
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: and not feel the heat. But like it's no less work.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you that.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Does it preserve his legacy better? If he were to
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: come back to the NFL, like you were saying and
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: have three disappointing seasons, that hurts him. But if he
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: goes to UNC and has you know, three five win seasons,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: it doesn't. It's not going to be in the record
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: books the same way. No.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I look at it, and I wonder he okay. So
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Mike Lombardi in many ways speaks on his own opinions,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: but also speaks based on conversations with Belichick. And Lombardi
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: was on his website or his podcast and I saw
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: the clip. I watched it online and he said that
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: the this was from Friday. He might decided to Chris
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Russo actually that the Shula record, the win total record,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: which he is in arms distance of, probably needs one
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: good year and maybe half of another good year. That
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: shula wins record is not at all on Belichick's like
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: must have lists. It's not what keeps him up at night.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: And if anyone thinks that they don't know Bill, well,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: if that's the case and he just wants to coach,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: there might be nothing more pure than developing college players
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: into NFL talent and creating that pipeline. Cause I tell
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: you this, NFL teams are gonna want to take a
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: risk on a kid who was coached by Belichick over
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: a kid who is coached by some other coach who
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: they don't know or necessarily have the respector kind of
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: you know, the honor, has that honor to them.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: I mean he is close.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: How close?
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Shula has three twenty eight wins? Bill has three hundred
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: and two, So he would need at least two seasons.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: That would I say a season and a half? Yeah, okay,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: so kind of needs two to three seasons in the NFL.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: That's a that puts him at seventy six years old.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: If he gets the right team, if he gets the
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: right wins and it all.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Works out, Andy's right behind him with two seventy and.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: He's coming and Andy is stepping away anytime either.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: And then the next closest current is Tomlin with one
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: to eighty three. So he he He's in the top five.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: No one's questioning it. I think he's the greatest coach
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: of all time. It's him, Lombardi, Hallis Shula, maybe Andy
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Reid sneaking into that conversation too. The rings tell the story.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: If it's a legacy question, that's absurd. Your legacy's firm.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: The question is does he have that chip on his
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: shoulder that the I need another bite at the NFL.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: I wasn't ready to end it. I didn't end it
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: on my terms. I mean mutually parted ways in New England.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: You know, he interviewed in Atlanta, and I think the
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: assumption was he'd have a list of teams that are
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: lining up for him. I don't know if I see that,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: And I've said that Bill Simmons a couple weeks ago,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: and it was like it was it was aggregated. It
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: was like some shocking statement. But there's three teams that
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: could currently talk to him, and from what I gathered,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: none of them have sat even headed coffee with him.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Wow. I mean not what you expected five years ago,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: for sure, not what you even expected when he was
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: taking this year off, I think everyone expected him to
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: like do TV and go out of his mind because
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: he missed it so much. So I don't know, it
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: is wild to think of him not doing the NFL.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: But he was also someone who, like I mean, there
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: are stories of him watching college games in high school
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: games and coming up with ideas. So he's already probably
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: locked into UNC's playbook. I mean, he had like a
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: two hundred page document he gave them.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Well, he also spent the year, I'm told at NFL films,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: and I don't know if I'm on leaking unleashing secret
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Like he's got all the all twenty two, Like he
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: breaks down every single game. But he also does college
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: so like if there was a draft tomorrow, he's ready
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: to go. He knows all the college players and talks
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: to all the college coaches, And Mike Florio posted it
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: today like all these college coaches let him into the
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: building and observe practice and have his way around the facilities.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: They didn't think he was going to be their competitor
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: next year, but maybe he will, so we'll see. This
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: could be outdated. If it is, we still like to
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: listen to us about and around. We'd like to hear
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: your thoughts. Tweet me at p schregs at psc ch RGS.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I want to hear your thoughts on Belichick. The other
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: thing that I'd like to bring up that I think
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: is actually really interesting is the NFL announcing some minority
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: ownership for the Buffalo Bills. And I don't know if
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: you saw this. Who's now a minority owner of the Bills?
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Three names and I thought were really cool.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Do you see this? Aaron ten new limited partners to ownership.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, read them out loud. If you got the press
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: release up read read them out loud, and save the
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: big three for the end.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, so let's see for the listeners. I don't have
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: the list in front of me. Read the boring ones first.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: We're probably just finance private equity people who whatever, this
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: is cool for them to go to their rich person
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: party and say that they own a team. Who do
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: we got? So?
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: I think there are two big ones, but Arctos some.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Actos's private equity.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: So great, good Rob Palombo Okay, don't know mc collum.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Don't know her, Teresa Gao, don't know her, Lovely, don't
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: know her rob Ward love him, don't know him, Mike
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: ju don't know Jew love him, Tom Berger great dude,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: don't know him.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Josie Altador Okay, do you know.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Who Josie Outdoor is?
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, Josie Outsdour is one of the greatest US soccer
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: players of all time. Josie Aldador is now a minority
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: owner of the Buffalo Bills. Let's keep going. Who else
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: is the minority owner of the Buffalo Bills.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna between these last two, I'm gonna go with
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: the one that I'm gonna say. Number one is who
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: meant the most to me as a child, Okay, So
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: start with number two? Is Vince Carter.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Vince Carter Vin Sanity is now a minority owner of
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. I love this. And who is the
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: last minority owner of the Buffalo Bills? Announced today at
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: the league meetings?
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Tracy McGrady T mac.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Is an owner of the Bills. What I mean this
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: goes back that to Toronto connection, I suppose, But like,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: if you really want to do a deep dive, neither
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: one of those guys Toronto careers ended well. Vince cried
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: his way out, got traded, went to the Nets and
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: then uh, if you remember t Mac had the biggest
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: free agency ever, went to Orlando. But okay, whatever they were,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: they brought basketball to Canada and they are beloved. And
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: of course Vince had his jersey retired in Toronto, and
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: I think this is amazing. And Josie Aldador is a
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: US soccer player, Like, all right, so what does that
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: all mean? I could have on a sports business expert.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: What's interesting is the NFL's opening up the pie a
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: little bit and they allowed in six different private equity group.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: So all those names you heard in the beginning, and
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: I was being dismissive, I'm sure that those are very fine,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: accomplished people. Some of them could be amazing humanitarians. I
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: don't know their names. I don't know the full details
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: on any of the first few names. That comes in
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: the ability for the NFL. They're now letting people have
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: minority shares in a different way than it used to be.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: And also that private equity, I believe can have up
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: to ten percent of a team. So it's just infused cash.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: And you're saying, well, why would these these people want
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: to get in here? Why would they want to be.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I really do think it's a vanity play for a
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: lot of these folks. They're not majority owners. And if
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: the team ever was to be sold, which I find
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: it highly unlikely that any of these teams are going
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: to be just outright sold to a majority partner, they
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: would then of course see a windfall of cash. But
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: in the short term, their owners, they get to live
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: in the owner's suite, they get to go to their
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: dinners and say their owners, they're at the league meetings,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: and it's all well and good. It's a minority share,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: and is it you know? Look, I remember when jay
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Z was an owner of the Nets and like pro
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Grove was, and I think someone told me, like Jayzon
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: actually owns point zero one percent. But at the time,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: before all the latest stuff, jay Z was an aim
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: and it was like this, this is a big deal.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Like jay Z is going to be courtside of the Nets.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: It's a major. I think it's cool that Lewis Hamilton
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: is a minority owner of the Denver Broncos. I think
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: it is pretty damn cool. When Serena and Mark Anthony
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: were involved with the Dolphins when that happened, and now
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: t mac in visanity can say they own NFL teams.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: It's legit. Tom Brady owns an NFL team, now, Richard
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Seymour owns an NFL team. Now. I don't know. I
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: just think of this vision of NFL owner and there's
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: thirty two of them, and they're in suits and ties
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: and they sit in a boardroom. It's kind of opening
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: up a bit, and I think that's pretty cool for
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: the NFL.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Man Belich actually have just become a part owner of
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: a team.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Got to find a team, bro Yeah, yeah, it's got
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: to find a team. These teams got a want the man.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Big week of NFL up ahead, Eagles versus Steelers, Lions
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: versus Bills. I think Seahawks versus Packers is very interesting.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: But my sneaky game of the week, Aaron, Are you
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: ready for the sneaky game.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Of the week.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Keep an eye on Colts Broncos. Colts come into this
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: season as a six and seven squad. Entering Week fifteen,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: the Broncos are eight and five. A win for the
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Colts makes them seven and seven. A win for the
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: a loss for the Broncos makes them eight and six.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: That would give the tiebreaker to Indianapolis. If you don't mind,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: if you have Google up, read me the final three
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: opponents for Indianapolis after this week, and then read me
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: the final three opponents for Denver. And I'm going to
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: set up why this game is so damn important in
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: the AFC.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: So this week Colts Broncos, and then the Colts are
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: playing the Titans, the Giants, and the Jaguars.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: That's win, win, win if you're the Colts, right.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: The Broncos have the Colts, and then the Chargers, the
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Bengals and Kansas City.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm just saying, don't overlook this game right now.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: The Broncos have a nice two game lead in the
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: wild Card. But if you lose, it's almost like two losses, folks.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: They not only lose a game in the standings, but
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: they also lose the head to head. Head to head
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: is a tie breaker. The Indianapolis Coasts have the easiest
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: final three games of any team in the NFL. Denver
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Broncos have three complicated games. I would argue at Chargers
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: on a Thursday night is not a cakewalk by any means.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: It's probably they're an underdog and that might be a loss.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Then you're talking about a Cincinnati team that just gunned
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: down and had a blast beaten Dallas to spoil their season.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: They would love nothing more than to spoil this one.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: And then Kansas City, which right now we assume aren't
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: playing for anything, but we don't know that. And if
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Kansas City is looking to firm up the one seed
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: or Kansas City is trying to keep their guys fresh,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: we can't assume they're gonna lay down for Denver. So
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: shadi ly quietly in a week with really good matchups,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: keep an eye on Denver Indianapolis for the long term ramifications.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: And if Indianapolis can beat Denver, oh baby, the AFC
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: playoffs just got really interesting. Okay, that's the podcast for
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: this week. Many thanks to you Aeron for coming on
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: in despite having no guests. I thought we had a
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: nice little rep pet pet, little little convo. Jason English
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: is in town. Jason English, thank you for being here
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: as well. We want to thank out our fine sponsors
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: at uber eats. It's time for delivering results presented by
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: those fine folks. I'm gonna discuss a team or player
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: from last week who delivered and the answer is going
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: to be a player named Ready for This Jalen McMillan.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Jalen McMillan had two touchdowns for Tampa Bay last week,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: stepping up in that must win game against the Raiders
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: as the Bucks regained control in the AFC South. Jalen
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: McMillan understated guy. When Mike Evans went down and Chris
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Godwin went down, he was the guy who was sterling.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Shepherd stepped up and made big plays and now he
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: is emerging as one of Baker Mayfield's go to guys.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay is in a dog race right now, a
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: tight one, a hot, hot, hot contested battle with the
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. Atlanta's going one way, Tampa's going another. And
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: who would have thought a rookie Jalen McMillan, a third
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: round pick out of the University of Washington, would be
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: the player to get two touchdowns, put up fifty yards
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: and get Tampa a key, key victory over the Raiders
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: last week. Jalen McMillan. We see You. That is delivering
