Speaker 1: At John Middlecoff is the instagram. I'm traveling on Monday.
0:29
Speaker 1: So since we took a little time off, I wanted
0:33
Speaker 1: to get some podcasts up, and I didn't want to
0:35
Speaker 1: lose any and lost in translation traveling across the country.
0:38
Speaker 1: I got I'm not leaving late until Monday night, actually,
0:42
Speaker 1: but I got her mom's in town, her brother and
0:45
Speaker 1: his wife and their baby, my son's cousin. So trying

Speaker 1: to do a little family time still, So I sided,
0:53
Speaker 1: you know what it's I got a little time before dinner.

0:59
Speaker 1: Middlecoff is the int We're gonna have a lot more mailback. Hey,
1:01
Speaker 1: a lot of people like, are you can done to it?
1:03
Speaker 1: I'm not done to a mailbags, So keep firing in
1:05
Speaker 1: those mailbacks. We will keep answering questions. We've got the combine,
1:08
Speaker 1: We've got free agency, then we got the draft. We
1:11
Speaker 1: got a lot happening, So buckle, you know what up
1:15
Speaker 1: because there is no stop in this train, kind of
1:17
Speaker 1: like Team USA. We're just coming down the tracks. Baby,
1:20
Speaker 1: We're just we're just gaining momentum. It's only the beginning,
1:24
Speaker 1: so that that will be the game plan today. So
1:26
Speaker 1: you guys know the drill. If you listen on Collins Feed,
1:28
Speaker 1: subscribe to three and out on Spotify, Apple, wherever you
1:32
Speaker 1: may listen. All of our podcasts were up on this little, uh,
1:37
Speaker 1: little place we like to call Netflix. That's where the
1:40
Speaker 1: video of these podcasts live. And uh and yeah. Other
1:43
Speaker 1: than that, let's rock and roll, so uh fire in
1:46
Speaker 1: my dms. And let's take some questions. What do you
1:49
Speaker 1: think this from McCollum, I don't even actually know if
1:52
Speaker 1: that's his real name, But what do you think that
1:56
Speaker 1: happened this past year that teams can learn from. It
1:59
Speaker 1: was a weird year in that no team with a
2:01
Speaker 1: huge contract with a quarterback made it far. Will we
2:04
Speaker 1: see a shift to where quarterbacks won't get max money
2:08
Speaker 1: and sign contracts like Donald did? It feels like unless
2:11
Speaker 1: you have a quarterback on a rookie deal or on
2:14
Speaker 1: a Donald Way contract, your roster isn't good enough to compete.
2:17
Speaker 1: I just don't think there are that many guys worth
2:19
Speaker 1: giving that much money too, So like CJ. Stroud's a
2:22
Speaker 1: good example one if mulged it comes to the Texans
2:26
Speaker 1: about a contract extension. The answer to this offseasons, of
2:28
Speaker 1: course is no. But even if next year he solid
2:32
Speaker 1: you win a playoff game, again, like I'm not giving
2:35
Speaker 1: you two hundred fifty million dollars. You know, there has
2:38
Speaker 1: to be levels. The NFL turned into the NBA where
2:41
Speaker 1: it's like, not everyone's a MAX guy. Curry and Lebron
2:45
Speaker 1: are on a MAX and so is Zach Levine. They're
2:47
Speaker 1: not the same. So quarterback contracts like, well he gets
2:51
Speaker 1: a MAX, he gets a Max, he gets a MAX,
2:53
Speaker 1: and you're like, this is stupid. At the end of
2:55
Speaker 1: the day, the Bills or the Chiefs do not or
2:58
Speaker 1: the Ravens don't regret giving all that money to their quarterback. Right,
3:02
Speaker 1: it does make it more challenging, But when that guy's on,
3:04
Speaker 1: he can beat anybody. And you know, look at Josh
3:07
Speaker 1: this year, right with their team's not that great and
3:09
Speaker 1: he's a bad throwaway from being the AFC Championship game. Right. Obviously,
3:13
Speaker 1: Mahomes that year got a little weird, But I think
3:16
Speaker 1: part of it is when you start giving the next
3:19
Speaker 1: tier of guy a lot of money. That's like, Perty's
3:21
Speaker 1: got to be elite. Jordan Love's got to be elite.
3:25
Speaker 1: We saw, you know, Tua and Kyler derail your franchise. Right,
3:29
Speaker 1: Stafford's making forty million dollars and won the MVP. You
3:32
Speaker 1: could argue, bang for your bucket. Doesn't get much better
3:34
Speaker 1: than that. I'm trying to think of other guys that
3:38
Speaker 1: you know. Jalen Hurst has got to be better. So
3:41
Speaker 1: when you pay a guy a lot of money, he's
3:42
Speaker 1: just got to be at a Pro Bowl caliber, dominant
3:45
Speaker 1: fashion as a player. Right. If I give nicolea Jokic
3:49
Speaker 1: sixty million dollars a year, he wins the MVP every year, Like,
3:52
Speaker 1: I can't really ask for more. But when I'm giving
3:55
Speaker 1: a guy in the NBA fifty million dollars and he
3:57
Speaker 1: doesn't sniff the All Star Game, we got a major problem.
3:59
Speaker 1: It's no different quarterback. So this isn't baseball where you
4:03
Speaker 1: can just be the Dodgers. Right, It's a cap league.
4:06
Speaker 1: You gotta be smart with your money. You gotta allocate
4:08
Speaker 1: the right resources. I think the league is shifted back
4:12
Speaker 1: to running the ball a little bit more physicality between
4:15
Speaker 1: the trenches. Financially, I don't think we've seen I don't
4:18
Speaker 1: think we're gonna see a shift. I think more people
4:21
Speaker 1: are gonna be less likely to break the bank for
4:25
Speaker 1: quarterbacks who are not like John Elway, Dan Marino, Brett Farve,
4:29
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Like if I have a second tier guy like,
4:33
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I have a hard time, Like you're not
4:35
Speaker 1: gonna bend me over for a quarterback the agent. Remember
4:37
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago when Joe Shane was like
4:39
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones's agents, we're elite? How are they elite? Just
4:42
Speaker 1: keep saying no. The answer is no, no, no, most
4:47
Speaker 1: powerful word in the English language. No. I think something. Okay,
4:52
Speaker 1: we'll do it. Also on the owner, you know, like
4:55
Speaker 1: why is Deshaun Watson on the Browns Jimmy hasl So
5:02
Speaker 1: I mean part of it's the owner having overachieved the season.
5:05
Speaker 1: How would you approach the Patriots offseason? Would you make
5:07
Speaker 1: a trade for Crosby or aj or take a more
5:10
Speaker 1: traditional rebuild approach? I think any they have a thirty
5:14
Speaker 1: second pick or thirty thirty first pick, would I trade
5:17
Speaker 1: pick thirty one and my next year's one for Max Crosby.
5:20
Speaker 1: I would right now, would I trade my second round
5:24
Speaker 1: pick for AJ Brown? That's where I kind of struggle with.
5:27
Speaker 1: I think the AJ Brown thinks a lot more complicated,
5:30
Speaker 1: makes a ton of money, older player. Would I take
5:34
Speaker 1: AJ Brown for like a fourth? Yeah? But are the
5:36
Speaker 1: Eagles given you fourth? Like to me, he's like a
5:39
Speaker 1: complicated negotiation. Crosby is a no brainer if you're a
5:43
Speaker 1: team like the Patriots. But if he's not available, I'm not.
5:48
Speaker 1: I need to build in the trenches. I need better
5:50
Speaker 1: offensive and defensively alignment. Like I'm doubling down on the
5:52
Speaker 1: offensive defensive line. That's all I'm doing. So offense defensive line,
5:57
Speaker 1: that's where you win. How did vrabel think about when
6:00
Speaker 1: they turned it around in Tennessee? Aj Brown second round pick,
6:03
Speaker 1: Derek Henry second round pick. Their best two offensive players
6:08
Speaker 1: in Tennessee were two second round picks. You already got
6:13
Speaker 1: Drake May. So it's like if you hit on some
6:15
Speaker 1: second and third round picks, like you can find Poka Nakua.
6:19
Speaker 1: You can't, maybe not to that level, but you can
6:21
Speaker 1: find impact guys. On the second day of the draft,
6:25
Speaker 1: Ken right Out was an elite stud great interview and
6:28
Speaker 1: would love to see more of these left discovered badass mothers.
6:33
Speaker 1: We're gonna try to mix it up this offseason. We're
6:35
Speaker 1: gonna have more that that interview was It's not like
6:39
Speaker 1: I initiated. If someone gave it to me and then
6:41
Speaker 1: I watched his story, I'm like, this guy is this
6:43
Speaker 1: is incredible. This is like Whitey Bulger meets Lance Armstrong.
6:48
Speaker 1: I mean, you couldn't when you listen to that, you
6:52
Speaker 1: just can't make that up. You know, you can't make
6:55
Speaker 1: that up. But if I had ten Ken rideouts, I
6:59
Speaker 1: would interview him over the course of the next month.
7:01
Speaker 1: But it's hard to find. But we're gonna do different
7:04
Speaker 1: interviews of just not necessarily like someone associated with football.
7:09
Speaker 1: That's definitely on the table for the next you know,
7:12
Speaker 1: the off season. It gets slow. He was good, but again,
7:16
Speaker 1: you can't create that like that is that's a pretty
7:20
Speaker 1: special situation. It was awesome. He was great. What are
7:23
Speaker 1: your thoughts and the Bears potentially moving their stadium to Indiana.
7:26
Speaker 1: I talked about this on the podcast on Monday that
7:30
Speaker 1: I think once you get to a point where things
7:32
Speaker 1: have gotten weird between the league slash the team, because
7:35
Speaker 1: the team is also represented by the league's lawyers and
7:39
Speaker 1: the politicians. I just think everything's on the table. And again,
7:44
Speaker 1: I can't speak to the geographic like you know, when
7:49
Speaker 1: you live somewhere or you know, for those of you
7:52
Speaker 1: that live in the Midwest and spend a lot of
7:53
Speaker 1: time in Chicago, you have a great understanding of where
7:55
Speaker 1: everything is. I don't really so my opinion on this
8:00
Speaker 1: because you hear some people say it's not that far away.
8:02
Speaker 1: So maybe is it that different from you know, when
8:05
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers move Candlestick to Levi's right, or
8:09
Speaker 1: is it the the heart and soul of being in Chicago.
8:12
Speaker 1: But if they're gonna move to the suburbs anyway, maybe
8:14
Speaker 1: it's not as crazy. But to just be in the
8:16
Speaker 1: state of Indiana where Indiana's open up their doors, like
8:19
Speaker 1: what do you want? You want some tax money here,
8:20
Speaker 1: we got you. And Chicago's not with the Bear's ownership
8:25
Speaker 1: that doesn't have cronky Dave Tepper level cash. It's just
8:29
Speaker 1: complicated situation. So I would say, as I sit here
8:33
Speaker 1: recording this, I would say it is definitely a possibility.
8:38
Speaker 1: It's a possibility. Is it gonna happen? I don't know,
8:40
Speaker 1: But it's things are getting weird. There's no way around it.
8:46
Speaker 1: Unsolicited parenting advice. We need the Dad Diaries. Keep reading
8:53
Speaker 1: to your son. The ROI on that will be higher
8:55
Speaker 1: than any investment you make beside buying an NFL franchise.
9:01
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this one Dad Diaries. Maria's grandma
9:05
Speaker 1: sent him a card for like Valentine's Day and had
9:08
Speaker 1: five dollars, and Marie got this piggy bank with the
9:11
Speaker 1: letter J. It's like Jack, you know, and we're gonna
9:14
Speaker 1: put you know, we put the five dollars in there,
9:16
Speaker 1: and I was like, Marie, let's do this every week.
9:20
Speaker 1: I'll just invest one hundred dollars more in just some
9:23
Speaker 1: you know, safe etf. If someone had done that for
9:26
Speaker 1: me when he's eighteen, that'll be way better off than
9:29
Speaker 1: ever giving him an allowance or you know, giving him
9:31
Speaker 1: some money in a piggy bank. She thought I was crazy,
9:35
Speaker 1: but I was like, we got to think a little
9:36
Speaker 1: differently now. But I agree the ROI on just I
9:41
Speaker 1: mean reading to him right now. He can just read
9:42
Speaker 1: those black and white books which hold his attention for
9:45
Speaker 1: about five minutes max. But I hear you on one
9:50
Speaker 1: problem is like lullabys. You realize I don't know any lullabys,
9:55
Speaker 1: So I just sing him like songs that I know
9:58
Speaker 1: that I would have heard on the radio throughout my life,
10:01
Speaker 1: and then I kind of baby attize it. That's kind
10:03
Speaker 1: of where I'm at right now, singing him songs that
10:06
Speaker 1: are actual songs that are just some of the great
10:10
Speaker 1: songs in the history of the world, and then kind
10:14
Speaker 1: of baby angling the songs. But I'm not like an
10:17
Speaker 1: eminem ad liber so it's probably pretty terrible, but I
10:22
Speaker 1: hear you on the reading. I have a college football question.
10:27
Speaker 1: Does it make sense to have any football only conferences
10:30
Speaker 1: in different conferences for all the other sports, so we
10:33
Speaker 1: don't have things like UCLA flying to Rutgers on a
10:35
Speaker 1: weekday to play a volleyball game, or Michigan go into
10:38
Speaker 1: Washington for a swim meet. The problem is, and football
10:43
Speaker 1: eventually is going to kind of go out on their own.
10:46
Speaker 1: Football pays for all that shit, which you could argue
10:49
Speaker 1: that's where the business is kind of weird. But the
10:52
Speaker 1: only way that these teams, right UCLA and listen, my son,
10:58
Speaker 1: if he plays a college sport, more than they ain't
11:00
Speaker 1: gonna be football. So it'd be an Olympic sport, right.
11:03
Speaker 1: But the way the golf team or the softball team
11:06
Speaker 1: pays for their flight to wherever is because of the
11:09
Speaker 1: football team. They generate all the revenue and fund and
11:13
Speaker 1: subsidize everything, right. So that's where if you lost football,
11:19
Speaker 1: those sports could not financially function. They couldn't even function
11:22
Speaker 1: if they were geographically tied to each other. UCLA wouldn't
11:26
Speaker 1: be afforded to just fly to Washington. They don't make
11:28
Speaker 1: any money. They make no money. They are in the red.
11:32
Speaker 1: I'll never forget working at Fresno State. I was in
11:35
Speaker 1: this town hall meeting. All the coaches were there in
11:38
Speaker 1: the ad and Pat Hill, or football coach, came in
11:41
Speaker 1: like twenty minutes late, and the volleyball coach looked around
11:44
Speaker 1: and said, like, must be nice and not at the
11:47
Speaker 1: show up in time. And he basically essentially said, like, yeah,
11:52
Speaker 1: must be nice to have me just fundraising your salary.
11:56
Speaker 1: So he was basically saying I was somewhere at an
11:58
Speaker 1: event making money. It pays for all you guys. And
12:01
Speaker 1: he wasn't wrong. And that's Fresdent State. Well who ood
12:03
Speaker 1: he thinks pays for everything at USC or Texas or
12:06
Speaker 1: Ohio State the football program. I saw Ohio State terrible
12:10
Speaker 1: at basketball. It's like, well, why do you think they've
12:12
Speaker 1: invested all their resources into football? May treat football like
12:16
Speaker 1: an NFL team, and clearly they don't care about anything else,
12:18
Speaker 1: which I don't really have a problem with. I know
12:21
Speaker 1: a college coach that offered Miles Russell five hundred k
12:26
Speaker 1: for two years and did not get him. We think
12:29
Speaker 1: FSU may be paying him more than that. Maybe they
12:32
Speaker 1: have some Tiger money, but as you know, he doesn't
12:34
Speaker 1: like to part with it. Miles Russell is like I'm
12:41
Speaker 1: trying to think of his equivalent. It'd be more like
12:44
Speaker 1: a basketball player. It'd be more like a like a
12:47
Speaker 1: Zion someone like that. You know, who's just this high
12:50
Speaker 1: school phenom who's going to Florida State. He's in Tiger
12:54
Speaker 1: Woods Sun Charlie's class. They're going to go to Florida
12:58
Speaker 1: State together. But Miles Russell is the number one junior player.
13:01
Speaker 1: He's played in PGA events. Left handed kid, little skinny guy,
13:04
Speaker 1: who's an elite talent. Right. I know someone that works
13:09
Speaker 1: in the apparel business that signs golfers, and I remember
13:14
Speaker 1: a year ago or so I asked him, I'm like,
13:16
Speaker 1: why wouldn't Miles Russell just go right to the pros?
13:19
Speaker 1: And he said, Bro, have you heard of nil? Do
13:21
Speaker 1: you know how much Miles Russell is gonna get? He's like,
13:23
Speaker 1: you see how wants these basketball players are get. What
13:25
Speaker 1: do you think he's gonna get? What do you think
13:27
Speaker 1: the Florida State is not paying him? It's the apparel
13:31
Speaker 1: companies that he is getting millions of dollars to go
13:36
Speaker 1: to Florida State, millions of dollars. So I don't know
13:41
Speaker 1: exactly where all the money's coming from, but he is
13:43
Speaker 1: getting paid seven. He's making way more money than all
13:47
Speaker 1: the guys that are battling it out on the corn
13:49
Speaker 1: Ferry tour. So five hundred k, yeah, would get you
13:53
Speaker 1: laughed at by a guy like him. A lot of
13:57
Speaker 1: you guys sent me the picture of the Titans their
14:01
Speaker 1: coaching staff, which they're head coach is Bald, they're their
14:05
Speaker 1: coordinator's Bald day ball O line coach Bald, running back
14:08
Speaker 1: coach Bald. The assistant on line coach is Bald, Gus Bradley,
14:12
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinators Bald. Defensive line coach is Bald. Cornerbacks
14:16
Speaker 1: coach is bald, and the safety's coach is bald, and
14:19
Speaker 1: obviously Solad is bald as well. It is It's incredible.
14:25
Speaker 1: I mean, what a moment for the bald community. Now
14:28
Speaker 1: we're gonna need the Titans to be good. We're gonna
14:30
Speaker 1: need the Titans to be solid, and they have been
14:32
Speaker 1: pretty bad for a couple of years. But it's gonna
14:35
Speaker 1: be easy to root for solid day Ball. I appreciate
14:38
Speaker 1: day Ball because a couple of years ago he was
14:40
Speaker 1: on he was on the JAB. I mean, he got skinny.
14:45
Speaker 1: He clearly is like, I have this ame for me.
14:47
Speaker 1: I'm an eater and I appreciate people that are like,
14:49
Speaker 1: you know, Berkley right now is really skinny. You can
14:52
Speaker 1: tell Charles is lost. Looks like one hundred pounds. Like,
14:55
Speaker 1: you don't just lose one hundred pounds by now he
14:57
Speaker 1: goes to the elliptical. No, you lose a one hundred
14:59
Speaker 1: pounds by you know, getting the GLP once, which I got. No,
15:03
Speaker 1: if you want to get the GOP once, you get
15:04
Speaker 1: the GOP once. I got no issue with it. Not
15:07
Speaker 1: necessarily for me. I love to eat and I love sweets,
15:09
Speaker 1: and it's a battle and I know people that are
15:11
Speaker 1: on it. You stop wanting food, you clearly lose a
15:14
Speaker 1: lot of weight. But I do appreciate a guy it's
15:17
Speaker 1: like I did it, I tried it. I was fucking
15:19
Speaker 1: like deep. I want to eat some pasta, I want
15:20
Speaker 1: to eat some cookies. I want to enjoy myself. I'm
15:23
Speaker 1: an eater. I think about food and listen as someone
15:26
Speaker 1: that could easily I could swing twenty pounds either way.
15:30
Speaker 1: If I stopped working out, I would gain twenty pounds.
15:32
Speaker 1: I mean, I basically have always worked out to eat.
15:34
Speaker 1: The problem as you get older, you can't outrun a
15:36
Speaker 1: bad diet, so you gotta kind of like you gotta
15:38
Speaker 1: order salads when you used to order a burger and fries,
15:41
Speaker 1: like you gotta order the chicken salad. And it sucks.
15:44
Speaker 1: And if someone thinks about food a lot, who dreams
15:46
Speaker 1: about food, who loves having conversations with people about food,
15:49
Speaker 1: about restaurants and what they ordered, it's a battle. But
15:53
Speaker 1: I do appreciate people that are like I am who
15:55
Speaker 1: I am, and I like to eat now. As Barkley
15:57
Speaker 1: once famously said, you ain't gonna meet many fattles old people.
16:00
Speaker 1: So as you get older, you clearly you know it's
16:04
Speaker 1: hard on your body, right having the extra weight. But
16:07
Speaker 1: props to Chuck. But let's listen, and I got no
16:10
Speaker 1: issue with it. We got to call a spade a spade.
16:12
Speaker 1: Like when you see someone now who's ben fat gets
16:14
Speaker 1: really skinny, he's like, oh, he's on the Jets, he's
16:17
Speaker 1: getting the JLP once. Actually my transition to get some
16:20
Speaker 1: peptides for good things about those start getting weekly peptides,
16:24
Speaker 1: just start firing myself up. Uh. Question for the pod.
16:29
Speaker 1: I heard Coward saying on his show the other day
16:32
Speaker 1: that like he likes Mendoza, just not to the Raiders
16:35
Speaker 1: because they have so many quote holes. You know what
16:38
Speaker 1: team's biggest hole is quarterback? Do you think these pundits
16:43
Speaker 1: really think this team won't use their on hundred million
16:45
Speaker 1: dollars cap space and draft the old line deficiency. I
16:47
Speaker 1: didn't hear these same thing pundits said about the Titans.
16:50
Speaker 1: They shouldn't have drafted Ward or the Bear shouldn't have
16:52
Speaker 1: drafted Caleb. Don't you think those teams have had holes
16:55
Speaker 1: they fill as well? Make the madness stop. I think
17:00
Speaker 1: one of the issues is just is you guys, I
17:03
Speaker 1: mean it's I think it's gonna work. They're gonna have
17:07
Speaker 1: to address it. But I think it's fair to say
17:09
Speaker 1: that when you're you know, the Raiders are situation historically
17:12
Speaker 1: over the last Internet era has not been good on
17:15
Speaker 1: a lot of people, right, So it's it's gonna be
17:17
Speaker 1: a challenge. He's coming from a team that had the
17:19
Speaker 1: best running game in the country, had one of the
17:22
Speaker 1: best offensive lines in the country, had one of the
17:24
Speaker 1: best defense in the country. He played on one of
17:25
Speaker 1: the best teams in the country, one of the best
17:27
Speaker 1: coach teams in the country. That's not the case here.
17:30
Speaker 1: He went from a guy that was sixty five years
17:32
Speaker 1: old in Signetti, who had been a head coach for
17:35
Speaker 1: almost twenty years at that point, who had kind of
17:37
Speaker 1: mastered his craft, to getting a guy that two years
17:40
Speaker 1: ago was fired. And I'm pro Kubiak, but like it is,
17:45
Speaker 1: who knows you just you don't. You don't know how
17:47
Speaker 1: it's gonna go. So yeah, I don't think it's crazy
17:52
Speaker 1: to go the only red flag on Mendozo's gonna go
17:55
Speaker 1: to a team that more than likely is not gonna
17:57
Speaker 1: be any good next year. Totally understandable. They're in the
18:00
Speaker 1: best division in football. They got you know in theory
18:02
Speaker 1: three playoff teams, right, the Chiefs who are gonna be back,
18:06
Speaker 1: and the Broncos and the Chargers with Andy Hardball and
18:10
Speaker 1: Sean Payton, it's just gonna be tough. I mean all
18:15
Speaker 1: three of them have high level defenses. I think it's
18:18
Speaker 1: a fair thing to say. Today's show is brought to
18:27

20:20
Speaker 1: Texans will eventually move on from CJ due to his
20:23
Speaker 1: lackluster performances the past two seasons. I do believe that
20:26
Speaker 1: They have a good squad to push deep to the playoffs,
20:29
Speaker 1: but they need to at least a competent quarterback to
20:32
Speaker 1: do that. I think there's a massive year for him.
20:36
Speaker 1: This is gonna make or break his career in terms
20:39
Speaker 1: of with the Texans. He has a big year, shows
20:41
Speaker 1: promise is better in the playoffs, whether they win or lose,
20:45
Speaker 1: he'll get a contract and he'll be the Texans long
20:48
Speaker 1: term starter. If he has an up and down season
20:51
Speaker 1: and then shits the bed in the playoffs, like I
20:52
Speaker 1: just can't, they're just no extension coming. So I think
20:56
Speaker 1: he is. He's one of the biggest wild cards into
21:00
Speaker 1: twenty six because I see no scenario in which Casario
21:03
Speaker 1: extends him now, and he's kind of playing for the
21:06
Speaker 1: extension to prove, like, am I a forty fifty million
21:09
Speaker 1: dollars quarterback? Because right now he's not. Is he a
21:12
Speaker 1: good player? He's sawd But like if I was the Texans,
21:15
Speaker 1: like ied off from the Sam Darnold contract. What's a
21:17
Speaker 1: good track in the Scottsdale area that won't break the bank?
21:20
Speaker 1: Everything is crazy that I've been looking at. Welcome to Scottsdale, homie.
21:23
Speaker 1: There's not really there's nothing cheap here. Golf is inflation
21:28
Speaker 1: over the course of the twenty twenties. I would say
21:31
Speaker 1: nothing at least in my life has been hit harder
21:37
Speaker 1: than something that I do constantly than golf, whether it's
21:41
Speaker 1: public courses, whether it's trying to join a private course.
21:43
Speaker 1: I mean, the prices, especially in this area are fucking bananas.
21:48
Speaker 1: So if you're gonna want a cheaper price to play
21:51
Speaker 1: around to golf in airs, you know, the general Scott's
21:54
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to go to like Phoenix or some
21:57
Speaker 1: of the general outside areas Whirlwind and Rave or two
22:00
Speaker 1: courses that I recommend, but they are not in Scottsdale.
22:03
Speaker 1: There is not Grayhawks, TPC, Scottsdale Truon. I mean these
22:07
Speaker 1: if you're coming soon, I mean you're talking five six
22:09
Speaker 1: hundred dollars for golf, which I'd say, no way. These
22:14
Speaker 1: courses are worth it. You go to these courses and
22:17
Speaker 1: their t sheet is packed, so it's just applied demand
22:21
Speaker 1: and people are more than willing to pay these prices.
22:23
Speaker 1: If you one thing, it's like you're charging five hundred
22:25
Speaker 1: dollars for golf and you went out to the course
22:27
Speaker 1: and it's empty. It's the complete opposite. You're like, you're
22:30
Speaker 1: charging what for golf? And then you go It's like
22:32
Speaker 1: there is not an empty tee down. This is insanity,
22:35
Speaker 1: but it is what it is. My buddies and I
22:37
Speaker 1: always do an Eagles away game. This year is Zona.
22:39
Speaker 1: Probably gonna stay in Scottsdale. We are a bit of
22:41
Speaker 1: the crazy crowd and like to do adventurous things. What
22:44
Speaker 1: are some good trails or maybe national parks near there? Well,
22:49
Speaker 1: not to tell on myself, but I don't know if
22:51
Speaker 1: I strike you, but I am not a national park guy,
22:54
Speaker 1: so I can't necessarily help you there. I'm not even
22:57
Speaker 1: necessarily a I have high before. You know. My brother's
23:02
Speaker 1: a big hunter, fisher, outdoorsman. My dad definitely was. I
23:06
Speaker 1: didn't really get that gene. I have hiked Cammelback here
23:10
Speaker 1: a long time ago. Depending on the time of year,
23:13
Speaker 1: I guess if you're coming to the fall, it shouldn't
23:14
Speaker 1: be that bad. I mean the game. If the games
23:16
Speaker 1: in September, it could be really hot. People have died
23:18
Speaker 1: trying to hike cammel Back because it gets so hot.
23:21
Speaker 1: But I would say I can't help you on the
23:27
Speaker 1: national parks. Camelback's really the only thing. I know, I'm
23:30
Speaker 1: just the wrong guy to asked that question. I mean,
23:32
Speaker 1: if you're looking for a golf course, a steakhouse, you know,
23:36
Speaker 1: a good you know, borrow with some TVs, got you covered.
23:40
Speaker 1: But if you're looking for a national park, uh, definitely
23:44
Speaker 1: not your guy. Not you know, just not my thing,
23:49
Speaker 1: though I appreciate them. Freshly joined a men's rec hockey
23:53
Speaker 1: league in Portland, Oregon. I grew up in the Midwest,
23:56
Speaker 1: and I find myself trying to coach the less experienced teammates,
24:00
Speaker 1: and the team generally use basic defensive strategy because it's
24:04
Speaker 1: the surest path to a victory that I can see.
24:08
Speaker 1: Thought the experience shed light on the Seahawks dominance this season.
24:13
Speaker 1: Is he compared him coaching his rec league hockey defense
24:19
Speaker 1: to the Seahawks. I like it. Defense wins championships. Totally agree.
24:23
Speaker 1: Let's face most people, if you're playing pickup hockey, if
24:27
Speaker 1: you're playing pickup basketball, most people aren't looking to be
24:30
Speaker 1: the defensive standout. I've never played a pickup game where
24:33
Speaker 1: it's like I'm gonna take defense really seriously this game.
24:36
Speaker 1: Everyone just won't score. Makes some plays kind of jog
24:39
Speaker 1: back on d I would imagine hockey somewhat similar. What
24:41
Speaker 1: do you want to do score the puck? Are there
24:44
Speaker 1: a lot of people in rec league hockey? If people
24:46
Speaker 1: standing in front of the goal, like I'm gonna block
24:48
Speaker 1: this puck, it's probably not the go to thing for
24:50
Speaker 1: people to do. If you do do it, big point
24:53
Speaker 1: of difference. The difference is in pro sports, like you're
24:57
Speaker 1: not gonna win a World Series if you don't play defense, right,
25:00
Speaker 1: You're not gonna win a Super Bowl or a college
25:02
Speaker 1: national championship. If you don't play defense, you got no
25:05
Speaker 1: shot in the NBA if you play no defense. So
25:08
Speaker 1: like at the highest level, you have to play defense.
25:10
Speaker 1: At the lowest level, you could argue a big point
25:12
Speaker 1: of difference to be good, Like if you wanted to
25:15
Speaker 1: win in high school football, everyone thinks score the football. Score.
25:19
Speaker 1: What if you're like, we're gonna be the best defensive
25:21
Speaker 1: team in the area. You might have a ceiling because
25:24
Speaker 1: your offense might suck, but you're gonna win a lot
25:26
Speaker 1: of games. So maybe you just found a hack promote
25:30
Speaker 1: defense at the lowest levels. Uh, listen to Coward Show
25:36
Speaker 1: with you doing the news. The problem with load management,
25:40
Speaker 1: I think it should be based on a time work payment.
25:44
Speaker 1: I have to work forty to sixty hours a week
25:46
Speaker 1: and I make decent money, but I punch a clock.
25:48
Speaker 1: I only get paid when I work. So maybe these
25:51
Speaker 1: guys get their contract but then put in a clause
25:55
Speaker 1: they get a percentage if they don't work their potential.
25:58
Speaker 1: I get hurt. I only get sixty per of my
26:00
Speaker 1: pay while I'm hurt. So I think it's something to discuss.
26:05
Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. Here's the problem. There are
26:08
Speaker 1: certain industries. One, they have a very powerful union, baseball, basketball, whatever,
26:13
Speaker 1: so they fight for guaranteed money they don't work on
26:16
Speaker 1: like the clocking in and out structure. Right, no one
26:20
Speaker 1: whether you're on time or late, no one really pays attention.
26:23
Speaker 1: You're basically just paid based on The crazy part is
26:26
Speaker 1: about basketball. Beside the eliteally guys, A lot of times
26:30
Speaker 1: these young players get max contracts based on potential. Right,
26:37
Speaker 1: they have leverage. I mean they just do. So I
26:40
Speaker 1: hear what you're saying. They owners don't have the juice
26:45
Speaker 1: to roll it back. Once you've negotiated these guaranteed contracts
26:49
Speaker 1: the way they're they it raally comes back the other way.
26:52
Speaker 1: It's why Football's always fought against it because they know
26:56
Speaker 1: if it ever goes through, like every contract, let's just
26:59
Speaker 1: say in a theory, it has to be fully guaranteed.
27:01
Speaker 1: There's never a time when it wouldn't be. So once
27:05
Speaker 1: it crosses a line in a negotiation, there's no going back, right.
27:11
Speaker 1: So I think part of it is I hear what
27:13
Speaker 1: you're saying in your business. You know, my business, we
27:17
Speaker 1: only make money when I record a podcast. I technically
27:20
Speaker 1: could have, like I guess, someone fill in, but like,
27:25
Speaker 1: if I want my business, if I want to make money,
27:28
Speaker 1: I have to work. This isn't one of those jobs
27:31
Speaker 1: where it's like I got ten people working for me
27:34
Speaker 1: and I don't have to do shit and I can
27:35
Speaker 1: just go to the beach. Like my business is me
27:39
Speaker 1: and me talking. So I mean, we all are in
27:41
Speaker 1: different industries with different quirks. And one thing the basketball
27:46
Speaker 1: players have going for them is like if I sign
27:47
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollar contract, whether I play ten games
27:50
Speaker 1: or whether I play eighty two games, I'm making the
27:52
Speaker 1: same amount of money, which you can say incentivize. Is
27:55
Speaker 1: a problem because guys clearly don't play as much as
27:57
Speaker 1: they once did. So I hear what you're saying, I
28:01
Speaker 1: just think that's not a realistic outcome. Long time no
28:06
Speaker 1: talk coach. The Raiders have a coach, a running back,
28:10
Speaker 1: stable quarterback, left tackle, and currently Crosby. I think the
28:13
Speaker 1: next step is the biggest baddest o line D line,
28:15
Speaker 1: so they can hold up for Mendoza and Genty. Would
28:19
Speaker 1: you pick up, say Hendrickson from the Bengals to help Crosby?
28:23
Speaker 1: What say you? The Crosby thing is they're kind of
28:29
Speaker 1: they're fork in the road. If they keep Crosby, they're
28:32
Speaker 1: just all in on this operation. They're going to try
28:34
Speaker 1: to be competitive next year. If they trade Crosby Micah
28:37
Speaker 1: Parson style, it's almost like we'll take a step back,
28:41
Speaker 1: you're one of Mendoza and build this thing for years two, three,
28:44
Speaker 1: and four. So until I personally would trade Crosby, his
28:49
Speaker 1: value is still elite. You're not gonna make the playoffs
28:53
Speaker 1: next year, like I would say, a high percentage chance.
28:56
Speaker 1: I think you're better off doing that than just trying
28:59
Speaker 1: to add Hendrickson. Now, would it shock me if they
29:03
Speaker 1: try to be competitive next year? Would not, because that's
29:06
Speaker 1: how NFL teams operate. But me personally, I think I
29:09
Speaker 1: would punt on Crosby, because you could if you go
29:14
Speaker 1: Monday or Tuesday, Max Crosby is available, you will have
29:18
Speaker 1: a bidding war. I mean a bidding war because this
29:21
Speaker 1: is not this is not Michaeh Parsons. He does not
29:24
Speaker 1: need to sign a contract with the new team. He's
29:26
Speaker 1: under contract. So part of like when they traded Michael Parsons,
29:31
Speaker 1: fifteen teams weren't involved. Why because he wasn't gonna sign
29:34
Speaker 1: with a lot of teams. It was gonna be shortlisted teams,
29:36
Speaker 1: the Eagles, the Packers, maybe not the Eagles, but whoever,
29:40
Speaker 1: Right Max, you could trade Max to the Bengals if
29:43
Speaker 1: you wanted. You can trade Max wherever. So I think
29:47
Speaker 1: it's a unique situation. I would do that, And I'm
29:51
Speaker 1: a pro Max Crosby. I think he's a study. I
29:53
Speaker 1: think he was underpaid early on in his career. I
29:57
Speaker 1: just think that now would be the time Mendoza just
30:01
Speaker 1: kind of start a float and give Max an opportunity
30:03
Speaker 1: to win. Trade him to the Bears, trade them to
30:05
Speaker 1: the Patriots, trade him to the Lions, trade him to
30:07
Speaker 1: the Eagles, trade them wherever the Bills. As a Chiefs fan,
30:11
Speaker 1: I'm consumed I'm confused. Why every mock has us taking
30:15
Speaker 1: Love or a wide receiver. I'm thinking defense, No One,
30:19
Speaker 1: Veach and Andy, what do you think? Also, there's rumors
30:22
Speaker 1: we are now looking to deal McDuffie. I feel like
30:24
Speaker 1: we gotta trade him. We can't cover number one wide
30:26
Speaker 1: receivers and we can't pay him like he wants. What's
30:30
Speaker 1: his trade value? That's a good question, I well ask
30:34
Speaker 1: this week. I don't know. I don't know. I'll find
30:37
Speaker 1: out in the next couple of days. Like are we
30:40
Speaker 1: talking he's not getting a first round pick, but I mean,
30:43
Speaker 1: are you getting like a second and a third for him?
30:46
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer on that question. To be
30:48
Speaker 1: honest with you, I would say no one, Veach and
30:51
Speaker 1: Andy the the love thing. I would say this I have.
30:57
Speaker 1: I would be stunned if Jeremiah, if they stayed at nine,
31:00
Speaker 1: Jeremiah Love was the pick they will take and look
31:03
Speaker 1: at historically what he did. When I was there. We
31:07
Speaker 1: drafted Fletcher Cox, we drafted Brandon Graham. These are their
31:11
Speaker 1: first round picks. Brandon Graham, Fletcher Cox, Danny Watkins was
31:17
Speaker 1: obviously a miss. So my three years with Andy Reid,
31:20
Speaker 1: the three picks we had were two defensive linemen and
31:24
Speaker 1: offensive lineman last year, who they take Simmons when they
31:28
Speaker 1: took a running back? And again it's not apples to apples.
31:30
Speaker 1: Is the end of the first round, Clyde, it was
31:33
Speaker 1: a great regret. And the other thing is Jeremiah Love
31:35
Speaker 1: is much more. I would not put him like Christian
31:39
Speaker 1: McCaffrey or b John Robinson. He's much more to me
31:42
Speaker 1: like a Saquon Barkley, who is just a true running
31:45
Speaker 1: back right. Sakuan's not a great pass catching running back.
31:48
Speaker 1: I would not put him in the CMC you know,
31:51
Speaker 1: Marshall falk lt bijon category. He's much closer like Adrian Peterson.
31:58
Speaker 1: He's like fucking running between the tackles. When he's on,
32:00
Speaker 1: he can dominate, right, And that's to me, Jeremiah Love
32:04
Speaker 1: is more in that world. And maybe I'm wrong. Maybe
32:06
Speaker 1: I'll do some recon this week and people will disagree
32:08
Speaker 1: with me, and if they do, all change my opinion,
32:10
Speaker 1: because I got people with Super Bowl rings that evaluate
32:13
Speaker 1: these players for a living. But I'd be stunned if
32:17
Speaker 1: Andy Reid did not take a defensive her offensive lineman.
32:19
Speaker 1: If he stays at nine, if he trades back then
32:22
Speaker 1: You never know, but I don't even think there's a
32:24
Speaker 1: wide receiver that he would take there at nine that
32:27
Speaker 1: would be worthy of him taking. So my guess is
32:31
Speaker 1: he takes a pass rusher or like the right tackle
32:35
Speaker 1: from Utah and put Simmons at left and that guy
32:39
Speaker 1: right and just goes. We got our left and right tackle.
32:42
Speaker 1: That to me feels more like something the Chiefs would
32:44
Speaker 1: do than take Jeremia Love. Why wouldn't you take a
32:47
Speaker 1: running back like? Rounds later? Congrats on the kid. I
32:51
Speaker 1: know you listen and read these. Just wanted to thank
32:55
Speaker 1: you for the last pod with Ken really different to
32:58
Speaker 1: just football, which I love that you do. You are
33:00
Speaker 1: my favorite podcaster. I'm just happy still listening to your
33:03
Speaker 1: stuff and watching you grow. I'm an engineer, but I'm
33:05
Speaker 1: already planning to do a podcast with my friends to
33:08
Speaker 1: reach Mexican crowds. And your words are awesome. That's from JP. Well,
33:13
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Good luck with the you know the
33:18
Speaker 1: podcast question for the back how long till we give
33:21
Speaker 1: baby Jack a couple cocktails? You know what's crazy is
33:25
Speaker 1: you have a baby and I'm not a big drinker,
33:30
Speaker 1: just naturally like I'm not one of those guys that's
33:32
Speaker 1: a cocktail every night. I'm much more, definitely historically probably
33:36
Speaker 1: more of a binge social drinker. The older I've gotten,
33:40
Speaker 1: the binge drinking has to come down because I can't
33:43
Speaker 1: handle the hangovers. But I only drink socially, really on
33:47
Speaker 1: the golf course, around at night with people. When you
33:50
Speaker 1: have a child, especially when they're young, all you can
33:53
Speaker 1: think about is, I would rather jump off a bridge
33:56
Speaker 1: than be hungover feeding this baby with my wife I
34:00
Speaker 1: fit three in the morning, or changing him. I would
34:02
Speaker 1: That sounds like being, you know, a prisoner of war.
34:07
Speaker 1: You know, I can't fathom. I don't think I've had
34:10
Speaker 1: more than two cocktails in two months, which you know,
34:15
Speaker 1: I have much more mental clarity, much more energy. Had
34:19
Speaker 1: one yesterday on the golf course. I'm like, I'm good.
34:22
Speaker 1: I'm good just because in last night one o'clock, four
34:25
Speaker 1: o'clock I'm up feeding him like clockwork. No big deal,
34:28
Speaker 1: good dad. I'm not sure my dad did that, but uh,
34:32
Speaker 1: your boy did. My point is I would say drinking,
34:35
Speaker 1: he's a long we got a we got a long
34:39
Speaker 1: way to go. We got along. I think I had
34:41
Speaker 1: my first drink I tried some brandy maybe when I
34:46
Speaker 1: was like twelve or thirteen. I remember having my first
34:48
Speaker 1: tall boy in ninth grade. A couple of tall boys.
34:53
Speaker 1: I remember I had a couple cours like tall boys
34:55
Speaker 1: and first time I'd ever been drunk, Like, well, this
34:58
Speaker 1: is this is kind of cool. Even though I hated
35:01
Speaker 1: the you know, when you first started drinking beer, it's
35:02
Speaker 1: just my dad was not a drinker, so it's like
35:06
Speaker 1: I wasn't really It's not like I saw a beer
35:08
Speaker 1: all the time, and then you have the first beer,
35:10
Speaker 1: like I didn't even like the taste, and then he
35:11
Speaker 1: kind of grows on you and then now you kind
35:13
Speaker 1: of like it. Okay. One with this a lot of
35:19
Speaker 1: good positive feedback on the ride. Hote write out, Ken
35:23
Speaker 1: write out interview. He was if you haven't listened to it,
35:26
Speaker 1: I can't recommend it enough. Even my producers and people
35:29
Speaker 1: behind the scenes when we did it, when we ended,
35:30
Speaker 1: they're like, that was did not see that coming, Like
35:34
Speaker 1: neither did I. I man, that was awesome. As someone
35:39
Speaker 1: who relates to him very hard. A JP Morgan worker
35:42
Speaker 1: who struggled in the past with addiction from weed, as
35:45
Speaker 1: Ken said, I used to be a piece of shit,
35:47
Speaker 1: abusing marijuana for twenty basically to twenty five and a
35:50
Speaker 1: half years. I was also a high functioning drug addict
35:54
Speaker 1: current age twenty six. I've been sober for a while now,
35:58
Speaker 1: So you started, oh from twenty to twenty five, okay,
36:02
Speaker 1: I got ya? Gotcha? It gives me motivation to keep
36:05
Speaker 1: going and make my life better a day at a time. Well,
36:09
Speaker 1: I'm glad that we can help anyone out. I mean,
36:13
Speaker 1: I listen, I addiction doesn't run in my family. I mean,
36:17
Speaker 1: I do not have addictive characteristics inside me, which you know,
36:24
Speaker 1: I've seen friends. I've had friends that aren't even around
36:28
Speaker 1: that addiction runs deep in their family and it takes
36:31
Speaker 1: them out in their thirties. And I mean I've seen
36:36
Speaker 1: it firsthand and the impact it has on people's family,
36:39
Speaker 1: especially as you get older, you create a family and
36:43
Speaker 1: you leave children behind, the impact it has just potentially
36:46
Speaker 1: on other people, you know, making decisions. It's why you
36:50
Speaker 1: have someone like Kenna. It's you can't fake that, you know,
36:54
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't speak to any of that like
36:58
Speaker 1: you just lot can talk and cook and it's real
37:02
Speaker 1: because when you hear him speak like he ain't bullshit
37:05
Speaker 1: and you, and I think people human beings, whether you
37:08
Speaker 1: have been someone like you, which is awesome to overcome it,
37:12
Speaker 1: whether someone who just have been impacted by it. When
37:16
Speaker 1: you hear it, you know it, and you're listening to
37:18
Speaker 1: the story, you're like, jeez, this is this is intense.
37:22
Speaker 1: This is intense. And let's face it, for every guy
37:24
Speaker 1: like him who figures it out or you that figure
37:26
Speaker 1: it out, there's a lot of people that don't and struggle. Man.
37:33
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel you, and I'm glad you're doing well,
37:36
Speaker 1: and hopefully anyone that you know. The Rondale Moore story
37:39
Speaker 1: of him committing suicide is something that I remember watching
37:43
Speaker 1: him when he first got to the Cardinals as a
37:44
Speaker 1: rookie thing, and like, this kid's a fucking problem. He
37:48
Speaker 1: was just he looked like gonna have a special career
37:50
Speaker 1: and then obviously injuries derailed it. But and again I'm
37:54
Speaker 1: not saying Rondale had addiction issues, but you kill yourself
37:59
Speaker 1: at twenty five, you know. The thing is as you
38:01
Speaker 1: get older, and the thing with USA hockey, with the
38:09
Speaker 1: Goudreau family, you just realize sometimes I think about this,
38:14
Speaker 1: it's like you just never know, you know, you never
38:17
Speaker 1: know and life is so precious. Life is so short.
38:21
Speaker 1: As you get older, you know, whether you know some
38:24
Speaker 1: of you, like all my grandparents were dead, I mean
38:28
Speaker 1: three out of the four of them were dead by
38:29
Speaker 1: the time I was not even out of high school, right,
38:33
Speaker 1: And I saw my mom's parents die when I was
38:36
Speaker 1: in junior high so and I saw the impact. You know,
38:41
Speaker 1: you start kind of understanding life. Then you lose parents,
38:44
Speaker 1: you lose friends as you gain life. If you don't
38:47
Speaker 1: see it early on in your life, it's inevitable. We're
38:50
Speaker 1: gonna see it all, especially you know, if you have,
38:54
Speaker 1: you know, multiple friends, it's just you know, there's gonna
38:57
Speaker 1: be a web and a connection of things that are
39:00
Speaker 1: just unavoidable. And listen, we all struggle with different shit.
39:04
Speaker 1: And I think anytime that you can listen to things
39:07
Speaker 1: that work as motivation or know that people share in
39:11
Speaker 1: your struggle, you know you're not alone because none of
39:16
Speaker 1: us we all deal with it, but we all do.
39:18
Speaker 1: I mean, so I'm glad that sounds like you got
39:23
Speaker 1: your life together and things are going well, and good
39:25
Speaker 1: luck to you man, talk soon. Audios. The volume
