Speaker 1: get upset if I'm ever around a football player. Again
2:06
Speaker 1: and he can't introduce himself. Guys, we missed you in
2:10
Speaker 1: a combine. Everyone wanted you to be there. But we
2:12
Speaker 1: are back in action. And you know what, I'm a
2:14
Speaker 1: little bit cheese today because a lot of news hit
2:19
Speaker 1: the airwaves, and to be honest, it was a little
2:23
Speaker 1: selfish of everybody. It is International Women's Day. That's where
2:27
Speaker 1: I'm wearing my Celine Dion shirt. How dare they interrupted
2:32
Speaker 1: a day that no women actually cares about. But y'all
2:36
Speaker 1: should y'all men should? Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson absolutely blowing
2:41
Speaker 1: the world up while I'm trying to golf. How dare they?
2:45
Speaker 1: This was supposed to be like my nice day off,
2:47
Speaker 1: ketchup on sleep, Pete made me some breakfast this morning,
2:51
Speaker 1: going golfing with my brother. No have to be on
2:54
Speaker 1: my phone the whole time. Got crushed. Got crushed a
2:56
Speaker 1: golf would have won otherwise probably, But let's get into this.
2:59
Speaker 1: So the first things first, Aaron Rodgers back and forth.
3:02
Speaker 1: No one had any idea what this guy was doing.
3:05
Speaker 1: Is he retiring? Did he break up with Shane Lean?
3:08
Speaker 1: Everyone saw him at Arawan? Are they back together? There
3:10
Speaker 1: were so many questions Aaron Rodgers is staying in Green
3:14
Speaker 1: Bay four Okay, so the Ian Rappaport tweeted that it
3:19
Speaker 1: was four years and oh my god, he's gonna be
3:21
Speaker 1: the highest paid football player in the history of the NFL.
3:23
Speaker 1: And then Pat McAfee was like, well, I have a
3:25
Speaker 1: source too, and actually that's not what's happening, and nothing
3:28
Speaker 1: has been agreed upon and blah blah blah blah blah,
3:30
Speaker 1: and then Aaron Rodgers tweeted out, yes, I'm staying, but
3:33
Speaker 1: nothing's been signed. So yeah, do we know what the
3:36
Speaker 1: terms are? Have they? Nothing has come out yet. We
3:39
Speaker 1: just know that Aaron Rodgers wanted to correct the would
3:43
Speaker 1: you have cared if somebody said that you're gonna be
3:44
Speaker 1: the highest paid football player? Actually, there's a different side
3:47
Speaker 1: to this, because yes, actually maybe you would care if
3:50
Speaker 1: people thought that you were the highest paid football player.
3:52
Speaker 1: You're already the quarterback, you're already a superstar celebrity, and
3:56
Speaker 1: then if you're in the locker room and also people
3:59
Speaker 1: think that you're making a bajillion dollars, that might be
4:02
Speaker 1: a little bit weird. I think I would be more
4:04
Speaker 1: embarrassed if they said I was and then I wasn't
4:09
Speaker 1: you know, no, I too. I truly think he's going
4:12
Speaker 1: to be his MVP. Two years in a row. He's
4:14
Speaker 1: still playing scene amount of one hundred and fifty three
4:17
Speaker 1: million guarantee? Do we know off the top of our
4:19
Speaker 1: heads what m Patrick Mahomes was because he's the next
4:22
Speaker 1: next one, right, Wasn't it like a sixty or three
4:25
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars insane contract or something like that? But
4:28
Speaker 1: this one is what four hundred something? I think it
4:32
Speaker 1: was two. We do a really good job with this podcast.
4:35
Speaker 1: We have all the numbers right now. Four years, two
4:38
Speaker 1: hundred million with one hundred and fifty three million guarantee.
4:41
Speaker 1: One hundred and fifty is that right? Something million guaranteed
4:44
Speaker 1: is what that's That's what they reported. Then Rogers said
4:47
Speaker 1: the terms of the contract I signed and he put
4:50
Speaker 1: signed in air quotes, right, we're incorrect? Or yeah, Lucy
4:55
Speaker 1: said that he's coming back for years. You know what,
4:59
Speaker 1: I do kind of feel for him. Okay, Mahomes signed
5:01
Speaker 1: a five hundred and two million, ten year contract. Okay, wow, Okay,
5:06
Speaker 1: so it's just absolutely insane. Aaron Rodgers would be, I guess,
5:10
Speaker 1: the richest guy in the NFL. Right, Listen, I was
5:14
Speaker 1: ready to come in here and guns ablazing and just say,
5:17
Speaker 1: no one cares, why do you? Why are you taking
5:20
Speaker 1: this long to make your decision. You did the exact
5:23
Speaker 1: same thing last year. You ended up coming back like
5:25
Speaker 1: just you know, keep it private and whatever. And then
5:29
Speaker 1: I started thinking to myself, like, in my personal history
5:34
Speaker 1: of signing contracts, it takes a really long time. And
5:37
Speaker 1: I'm not a diva like Aaron Rodgers. Maybe Okay, don't
5:41
Speaker 1: have that smirk on your face. I'm not I'm not
5:43
Speaker 1: demand I not demanding cars and jewels. They wouldn't give
5:47
Speaker 1: it to me anyways. Um, But listen, these things take
5:50
Speaker 1: a lot of time, and it's just crappy that he
5:53
Speaker 1: is a public figure that everyone cares so much about.
5:57
Speaker 1: It's like out of his control. Congratulations, Aaron rod You're
6:00
Speaker 1: probably going to be the richest person in the NFL,
6:02
Speaker 1: and people shouldn't hate you for that. It's not our fault,
6:04
Speaker 1: it's not his fault that he's amazing. So I think
6:06
Speaker 1: that everyone should just kind of like get off his case.
6:09
Speaker 1: If he was ready to be on his case, and
6:11
Speaker 1: I'm saying I'm backing away. Listen, this is good for you.
6:13
Speaker 1: I think if people enjoyed his personality a little bit more,
6:16
Speaker 1: they would not be so on his case. But who
6:19
Speaker 1: are they to judge that we're just gonna get to
6:20
Speaker 1: know him more. We don't know him for we are
6:22
Speaker 1: only listen four years. You have a lot of money.
6:25
Speaker 1: Guess what we get way more Aaron Rodgers, because he
6:27
Speaker 1: is on this tear of being on these podcasts and
6:30
Speaker 1: sharing his book club, and it's only gonna go up.
6:33
Speaker 1: It's only he's only going to be more open. And
6:35
Speaker 1: this is the state of the world social media. If
6:38
Speaker 1: you want to be a superstar, you gotta let people
6:40
Speaker 1: into your world. I love how he said his off seat,
6:44
Speaker 1: his free agency is going to be a beautiful mystery.
6:46
Speaker 1: Like remember you said that before? And they don't make
6:49
Speaker 1: change dragged everyone around Listen, he could listen. He could
6:54
Speaker 1: do what like Kyler Murray did and like totally erase
6:57
Speaker 1: his Instagram. He could do even what Russell Wilson did
7:00
Speaker 1: and take Seattle Seahawks out of his Twitter handle. I
7:03
Speaker 1: don't think he did any of that stuff. I think
7:05
Speaker 1: he's just he is who he is, and he's just
7:08
Speaker 1: coming along for the ride. And I think he loves
7:11
Speaker 1: rolling the people and like just look at his Twitter
7:14
Speaker 1: avatar picture. It's the toes pick that's sick. He's just
7:18
Speaker 1: he enjoys. Who put that in the chat today? That
7:20
Speaker 1: was possibly? Did we already talk about his Wiki feet rating? Yeah?
7:25
Speaker 1: And the fact that I looked it up. Yeah. I
7:27
Speaker 1: need a life. I need things to do. Oh boy.
7:31
Speaker 1: So Aaron Rodgers staying with the Packers. Um, if you're
7:35
Speaker 1: a Packers fan, are you stoked about this news? But yes,
7:39
Speaker 1: don't look me. He's an incredible football player, but like
7:42
Speaker 1: he just kind of dragged you through the mud, and
7:43
Speaker 1: like you have no idea when this guy is going
7:45
Speaker 1: to turn around and leave. Jordan Love's probably gonna leave,
7:47
Speaker 1: so you're not even gonna have that's all out of
7:49
Speaker 1: a backup quarterback? Are you really like I feel like
7:53
Speaker 1: in a in a relationship, I don't really trust you anymore. Yeah.
7:57
Speaker 1: I think, Um, like the Patriots messed up by letting
8:01
Speaker 1: go of Tom Brady because they thought he was washed
8:03
Speaker 1: or whatever. Yeah. I think the Packers probably feared if
8:05
Speaker 1: they let him walk and didn't overpay, he was going
8:08
Speaker 1: to be another Town Brady, and they like they would
8:11
Speaker 1: be kicking themselves if they didn't. I mean, he may
8:13
Speaker 1: have treated Packers fans wrong, but like you said, he's
8:15
Speaker 1: one MVP twice in a row. He's probably still no.
8:18
Speaker 1: I know you kind of like gott to let go
8:19
Speaker 1: of that stuff. But I think that if, like you know,
8:20
Speaker 1: Baker did that to us, I'd always be like, he's
8:23
Speaker 1: leaving any minute. I'm not going to get too attached
8:24
Speaker 1: to him again. Who knows. Speaking of somebody else, they
8:28
Speaker 1: hit the road. Russell Wilson is out of Seattle and
8:33
Speaker 1: is on to Denver. Yeah, I can totally there, thank you.
8:40
Speaker 1: They're gonna be the Duttons. They are going to be
8:42
Speaker 1: the Duttons of Colorado. I can totally see them buying
8:45
Speaker 1: up a ranch, having some horses, having some cows, Sira
8:50
Speaker 1: becoming a cowgirl. And I only say this because I'm
8:53
Speaker 1: binging Yellowstone right now. It really has nothing to do
8:55
Speaker 1: with anything, um Russell Wilson. Listen. The most incredible part
9:00
Speaker 1: of this whole thing, So they're whatever Broncos are setting
9:05
Speaker 1: Drew lock Noo a fan Shelby Harris, two first rounders,
9:08
Speaker 1: two second rounders to Seattle for Russell Wilson in the
9:11
Speaker 1: fourth round pick. The best part about this whole thing
9:15
Speaker 1: was the tweet that the Seahawks sent out after it happened.
9:18
Speaker 1: Did you guys see this? That was just honestly who
9:22
Speaker 1: got fired today because of that? Shout outs to them?
9:27
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry you probably thought so. Did you see
9:29
Speaker 1: what happened to the Broncos, I believe, tweeted Tom Hanks,
9:33
Speaker 1: kind of like playing with the Wilson volleyball with the
9:36
Speaker 1: bloody champrint. Yeah, And so the Zeahawks tweeted another video
9:41
Speaker 1: of topics being like nah, well said the famous who exactly?
9:47
Speaker 1: Now that you just don't do I kind of get
9:51
Speaker 1: what they were doing. Like I really feel like teams
9:53
Speaker 1: kind of create these personas online and you have to
9:56
Speaker 1: stick with these personas, and like, obviously the persona of
9:59
Speaker 1: the Seahawks would be sad that Russell Wilson, their quarterback,
10:03
Speaker 1: is leaving, but there's just so much, so many other
10:08
Speaker 1: heavy things hangover it. And like I was looking before
10:10
Speaker 1: it got deleted, because it is now deleted, by the way,
10:14
Speaker 1: before it got deleted, I was looking in the comments
10:16
Speaker 1: and everyone was just so pissed. They were already pissed
10:20
Speaker 1: that he was leaving, and then for the Seahawks to
10:22
Speaker 1: just pour absolute gasoline onto this fire was I was
10:27
Speaker 1: just I felt like Elmo with the flames behind me,
10:29
Speaker 1: Like you traded away your best player in franchise history
10:34
Speaker 1: and the team that's like the guy that's like carried
10:39
Speaker 1: this team the rest of the way, Like what are
10:40
Speaker 1: you gonna do? The saddest thing was watching me and
10:43
Speaker 1: at Kimes just like tweet into the abyss all day,
10:48
Speaker 1: like just spiraling out of control. Poor girl. But also
10:54
Speaker 1: I'm kind of surprized that why would you want to
10:58
Speaker 1: go to the AFC right now? The AFC is like
11:02
Speaker 1: stacked and you're going into the same division as Patrick
11:05
Speaker 1: Mahomes and some pissed off chiefs that are gonna really
11:08
Speaker 1: want to just smash everybody the next few years. Also,
11:13
Speaker 1: what are we gonna do? We're never gonna do anything.
11:18
Speaker 1: Oh no aka the Browns. Ye shout outs to Kevin Sfansky,
11:22
Speaker 1: my new bff that I met at the combine. Um,
11:24
Speaker 1: why would you want to go? If Russell Wilson? Okay,
11:26
Speaker 1: how old is Russell Wilson? He's got to be in
11:28
Speaker 1: his Is he a part of the thirty club? Please
11:30
Speaker 1: tell me he's part of the thirty club? So he's
11:33
Speaker 1: like what thirty four thirty three. Um, I'm assuming he
11:38
Speaker 1: wants to go to a place right now, that's like, okay,
11:40
Speaker 1: I might only have a few more years left, even
11:42
Speaker 1: though he's you know, relatively healthy looking. I need to
11:45
Speaker 1: go to a place that I'm going to win a
11:47
Speaker 1: Super Bowl at. Like, I don't know, do you really
11:51
Speaker 1: think you're gonna do that in the AFC? Like, that's
11:53
Speaker 1: just really I do not have any faith in these
11:56
Speaker 1: guys at all. Um, their odds did go up quite
12:00
Speaker 1: a bit, which we're going to talk about in this
12:01
Speaker 1: next segment. But let me ask you this right now. Guys,
12:03
Speaker 1: if you were Russell Wilson and you had your you know,
12:06
Speaker 1: pick of a bunch of teams, where would you have gone?
12:08
Speaker 1: I would have gone to Cleveland. Yeah, hero status immediately,
12:13
Speaker 1: because you're automatically going to be better than Baker Mayfield. Sorry, Baker,
12:16
Speaker 1: I love you so much. You're already get any better.
12:19
Speaker 1: There's actually you know, you're still in the AFC, but
12:21
Speaker 1: you could take a team from the bottom of the
12:23
Speaker 1: barrel and make them halfway decent, and oh my god,
12:26
Speaker 1: what an achievement. Where would you go? Would you leave
12:29
Speaker 1: the AFC? I would maybe I would go to the
12:34
Speaker 1: forty nine ers and just stick it to the Seahawks.
12:37
Speaker 1: I would love that. If you could choose anywhere, I
12:39
Speaker 1: think i'd go Washington. Well, if I was Russ, If
12:42
Speaker 1: I was Russ, Yeah, Washington. There's that's a little messy.
12:45
Speaker 1: Washington organization is what it is. We're not going to
12:48
Speaker 1: comment on it as employees of the NFL. But the fact,
12:52
Speaker 1: I mean, they have Terry McLaurin, they got Curtis Samuel,
12:54
Speaker 1: they got Antonio Gibson, their defense is pretty good, they
12:57
Speaker 1: have a good head coach in Ron Rivera. They're in
12:59
Speaker 1: the nf NC. NFC is the money spot. I think
13:02
Speaker 1: he just gotta Russ should have just stated that. And
13:05
Speaker 1: Washington had three first rounders on the table. God, forty
13:09
Speaker 1: nine ers all, there were just one great quarterback away
13:11
Speaker 1: from being like World Champions forex, like two or three
13:13
Speaker 1: years in a row. Yeah, I think they're such a
13:15
Speaker 1: solid team. But that's a little dicey because you'd still
13:17
Speaker 1: be in the same spot as the Rams. It would
13:19
Speaker 1: be messy, it's but you'd get the revenge game twice
13:23
Speaker 1: a year against the app. Yeah. Do you think he
13:26
Speaker 1: wants that thought? Do you think he's leaving because He's
13:27
Speaker 1: like mad, I don't know. Ably there's like a power
13:30
Speaker 1: struggle going on between him and I remember two years
13:33
Speaker 1: ago when we were when I was still at Fox,
13:34
Speaker 1: we were talking about that on our show all the time.
13:36
Speaker 1: What's the drama going on with Russell Wilson? What's happening
13:39
Speaker 1: behind the scenes? Um, anyways, guys, So my day was
13:42
Speaker 1: ruined by Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson, Thank you very much.
13:47
Speaker 1: Lots going on, And I'm sure it's so funny because
13:50
Speaker 1: we launched this podcast as such an interesting time, like
13:53
Speaker 1: literally right before the Super Bowl, and I was trying
13:55
Speaker 1: to tell my boss is like, guys, what are we
13:57
Speaker 1: going to talk about in the offseason? Like that, that's
13:59
Speaker 1: the majority of what our podcast is going to be
14:01
Speaker 1: until next season. It is gonna be in the middle
14:04
Speaker 1: of nowhere. And they're like, oh, just you wait. And
14:08
Speaker 1: it has been a wild ride ever since. Yea, the
14:10
Speaker 1: dominos are all gonna fall in now, gonna be crazy.
14:15
Speaker 1: So in the next like what strap in for the
14:16
Speaker 1: next week or two? Were we gonna hear me more stuff?
14:18
Speaker 1: You think? Well? Free agency negotiating window opens on Monday, baby,
14:24
Speaker 1: all right, guys, Well, next week make sure you're tuning
14:26
Speaker 1: in as well. All right, do we need to go
14:29
Speaker 1: to break junkyard dog? Are we going straight into? Depends
14:33
Speaker 1: how much combine stuff you want to get into. Oh,
14:37
Speaker 1: I should probably comment on the combine was fun. I've
14:41
Speaker 1: never been there before. It was really It was quite
14:44
Speaker 1: stressful actually to be down on the sideline because you
14:47
Speaker 1: all at all times think that you're in the way,
14:50
Speaker 1: and these guys are literally having the most important day
14:53
Speaker 1: of their life. So like I was trying to do
14:55
Speaker 1: like stand ups. There was the very first day I
14:59
Speaker 1: was shooting a bit on like the forty yard Dash.
15:02
Speaker 1: I was the timer. I don't know if you guys
15:03
Speaker 1: saw that. How did the cud the clocking go? I was.
15:06
Speaker 1: I was very bad at it actually, um but we
15:09
Speaker 1: were down there and I had enough common sense not
15:12
Speaker 1: to move because there was no There was so quiet
15:16
Speaker 1: and every creak of the like metal stadium seating was
15:20
Speaker 1: so loud, and so I was like drake my art
15:22
Speaker 1: shooter and editor. I was like, we are not moving
15:24
Speaker 1: until these guys are done. And this woman comes down,
15:28
Speaker 1: go go go. She's holding like chicken fingers and fries
15:32
Speaker 1: and an extra large coke and she's like smashing her
15:36
Speaker 1: way down the seats and she got yelled at, and
15:40
Speaker 1: then I started getting text messages from my boss thinking
15:43
Speaker 1: that they were yelling at me. Anyways, clip went viral
15:48
Speaker 1: of me shooting my bit in the stands and I
15:53
Speaker 1: was pretending to time somebody, and it like blew up
15:56
Speaker 1: online because people thought it was a real stopwatch time
15:59
Speaker 1: when they're like, wow, International Women's Day, shout out to
16:03
Speaker 1: women working in NFL. This lady takes her job seriously.
16:06
Speaker 1: And like, I wasn't even recording, there was no guy
16:09
Speaker 1: running in front of me. I was literally just timing it.
16:14
Speaker 1: Your girl's an actress. Oh yeah, you looked super into it,
16:16
Speaker 1: I mean following the watch with the guy. But I
16:19
Speaker 1: felt bad because so many people were tweeting such lovely things.
16:23
Speaker 1: They're like wow, I wonder which team she's working for,
16:25
Speaker 1: and I wonder which guy she's watching, and like, oh
16:27
Speaker 1: my god, she's so great at her job. And I
16:29
Speaker 1: didn't want to be like, ah, this is for a
16:31
Speaker 1: dumb sketch that I wrote, and you are absolutely wrong
16:37
Speaker 1: it yeah, so many people it's crazy when wild, but
16:42
Speaker 1: the combine was so fun. I avoided Saint Elmo's and
16:45
Speaker 1: Prime One twelve or whatever the hell that place is called,
16:48
Speaker 1: which are like the places to go at Combine. So
16:50
Speaker 1: I think I did actually a pretty good job. Can
16:52
Speaker 1: I tell you a story that happened at Prime? Here
16:55
Speaker 1: we go, all right, one of these nights, we're getting
16:57
Speaker 1: a little bit crazy. We're taking shots with the running
17:00
Speaker 1: back coach of the Packers, and we're like, we're having
17:02
Speaker 1: a great time introducing ourselves to people. Yeah, we worked
17:05
Speaker 1: for NFL media. Yeah, how's it going. Kevin Stefanski is there?
17:09
Speaker 1: I know you got to meet him? Yes I did.
17:11
Speaker 1: I had the chance to ask him a very important question.
17:13
Speaker 1: Oh no, I said, hey, coach, how does it feel
17:17
Speaker 1: to be the most attractive head coach? And no, you didn't.
17:21
Speaker 1: And he said, man, Matt Laflour is right over there,
17:26
Speaker 1: That's what he said. What a cool, classy guy. He
17:29
Speaker 1: is a classy guy. I gotta say. I saw him
17:30
Speaker 1: up close and personal. What a lovely gentleman he is.
17:34
Speaker 1: It's a strong song, pepper Beard strong. And it was
17:37
Speaker 1: so nice and normal and kind. And I did not
17:39
Speaker 1: know his background, Like he comes from some pretty fancy people,
17:42
Speaker 1: and for him to be like normal and nice, I
17:45
Speaker 1: was very shocked. But he was lovely. He was like
17:48
Speaker 1: wearing a really cool like Brown's jacket, just like repping
17:52
Speaker 1: the brand at all times. That was my coolest thing.
17:55
Speaker 1: Oh and John Lynch came up to me and said,
17:56
Speaker 1: you make a really good mooch. That was cool. He's aware. Also,
18:01
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe how many people, like some people came
18:05
Speaker 1: up to me and told me like, oh, I loved
18:07
Speaker 1: your Cooper cup or whatever, And I'm like, how are
18:09
Speaker 1: these people knowing who I am outside of you know,
18:12
Speaker 1: facial hair, And I was I thought I was pretty
18:17
Speaker 1: well hidden because I just keep on dressing up as men,
18:19
Speaker 1: But I guess not. Combine was cool though. It was
18:22
Speaker 1: really cool to see these guys just um, it was
18:25
Speaker 1: nerve racking because you can hear a pin drop in
18:27
Speaker 1: that place and they're trying to change their lives. So
18:30
Speaker 1: it was awesome. All right, coming up, let's secure the bag, baby,
18:38
Speaker 1: Let's take a look ahead to next season, make some
18:41
Speaker 1: early leans look at Yeah, um, all right, I really
18:56
Speaker 1: didn't think that we were going to be doing this
18:58
Speaker 1: so close to the Super Bowl, because like, what is
19:00
Speaker 1: there to be having early leans on? But now we
19:04
Speaker 1: now we've got some pretty good material to work with.
19:08
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little AFC Odds um and where the
19:12
Speaker 1: Broncos fall After this big old trade with Russell Wilson,
19:17
Speaker 1: they now have the third best odds to win the
19:19
Speaker 1: AFC at plus seven hundred. Only the Bills and the
19:24
Speaker 1: Chiefs are ahead of them. They have they have better
19:27
Speaker 1: odds than the Bengals who were just in the Super Bowl.
19:31
Speaker 1: It's pretty crazy. Do you really think that Russell Wilson's
19:33
Speaker 1: gonna make that big of a Yeah, defense is so good,
19:37
Speaker 1: they have weapons on off it. It's gonna be like
19:39
Speaker 1: when Peyton Manning went to Denver and they just had
19:43
Speaker 1: everything ready but the quarterback. Um. Do we really feel
19:47
Speaker 1: that confident in Russell Wilson's skills though, because, I mean
19:51
Speaker 1: the last few years have kind of been like very
19:53
Speaker 1: wishy washy, Like I remember parts of the season he
19:56
Speaker 1: was absolutely carrying the team, and then other parts of
19:58
Speaker 1: the season we were like, what is going on? The
20:00
Speaker 1: finger must still be absolutely broken. There were times when
20:04
Speaker 1: it was like let Russ cook, and there were other
20:06
Speaker 1: times where it was like get this guy out of
20:07
Speaker 1: get the backup chef. Hit the backup chef. He's gonna
20:10
Speaker 1: start a fire. But does anyone go all in better
20:12
Speaker 1: than the Broncos. I mean, Peyton Manning was a huge
20:15
Speaker 1: swing and it worked out. This one kind of not
20:17
Speaker 1: fair for the rest of us, Like Bronchos fans must
20:20
Speaker 1: be having a hoot their whole fandom. Um, but it
20:24
Speaker 1: must be pretty exciting to get Russell Wilson. I feel
20:26
Speaker 1: like I would really like him as a quarterback. He's
20:27
Speaker 1: he's seemingly a little odd. It's definitely cheesy, but pretty like.
20:33
Speaker 1: I feel like he's a good dude. He's on the
20:35
Speaker 1: wall upstairs, He's on the wall. And like the word
20:38
Speaker 1: integrity or like respect, I think it is integrity under it,
20:43
Speaker 1: just like over his body he represents. He represents integrity. Interesting.
20:49
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I guess I would be excited. And maybe
20:51
Speaker 1: it's good for Russell Wilson, like he's been with Seattle
20:54
Speaker 1: his whole career. I think it might. You know, sometimes
20:57
Speaker 1: you just need to change. Sometimes you need to leave
21:00
Speaker 1: a company and go to a new company and then
21:03
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you're thriving, right, you know what
21:05
Speaker 1: I'm saying. On also an interesting effect to change the
21:12
Speaker 1: subject immediately. Russell Wilson is now going to be the
21:15
Speaker 1: first quarterback to start for a team you beat in
21:17
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, and the Seahawks play and the and
21:20
Speaker 1: the Broncos played the Seahawks in Seattle. We were talking about, Yeah,
21:26
Speaker 1: they're also plus two hundred to win AFC West. Uh,
21:29
Speaker 1: And they jumped around, right, The Broncos jumped from plus
21:33
Speaker 1: four thirty the third best favorites too, to plus two hundred.
21:37
Speaker 1: So I wonder plus what were they to win the AFC?
21:41
Speaker 1: We were just talking about this plus twelve hundred. That
21:43
Speaker 1: seems really that seems like better odds than I would
21:46
Speaker 1: give them. But we're thinking that maybe Aaron Rodgers was factoring.
21:51
Speaker 1: They knew they were gonna get somebody good. Um, who
21:54
Speaker 1: would you have rather, Aaron Rodgers or Rest Wilson on
21:56
Speaker 1: the Browns Broncos? On the Broncos. If I was the
21:59
Speaker 1: Broncos fan, who are you chairing for? I would be
22:02
Speaker 1: chairing for Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers, Yeah, I mean he's just better.
22:06
Speaker 1: But Aaron Rodgers is a little bit older, true, a
22:08
Speaker 1: little bit weirder, definitely weird, definitely weird. Well Russ is
22:12
Speaker 1: pretty weird, no, but I mean it in a different way.
22:14
Speaker 1: I mean in a like halfway out the door, kind
22:16
Speaker 1: of like I'm gonna go retire when I shouldn't. True
22:19
Speaker 1: kind of thing that's true. I don't think Russell Wilson
22:21
Speaker 1: is all about integrity. I don't think Rogers would want
22:23
Speaker 1: to like follow in Peyton's footsteps, like the microscope would
22:27
Speaker 1: be under him if like he didn't win and be like, oh,
22:30
Speaker 1: he's an older quarterback that left. That's an interesting to
22:32
Speaker 1: a team that's built. I heard that he was actually
22:34
Speaker 1: really thinking about the Broncos. I don't think it was
22:36
Speaker 1: just like a retirement Packers like. I really think that
22:38
Speaker 1: he was pursuing all options. Yeah. Well, his his offensive
22:40
Speaker 1: coordinator is the head coach there now, Nathaniel Hackett. So
22:43
Speaker 1: it would have made sense a lot of people. Just
22:45
Speaker 1: like being around the NFL people and the insiders, a
22:47
Speaker 1: lot of people have been telling me things and they
22:49
Speaker 1: and they, you know, end the sentence by no one's
22:53
Speaker 1: gonna believe you anyways. Wow. And so I've just I
22:56
Speaker 1: just go home and tell Pete and we just have
22:58
Speaker 1: fun with it when it comes true. Nice. Um, Okay,
23:01
Speaker 1: next thing, I want to talk about his best thing
23:02
Speaker 1: I saw or heard this week. We've got some really
23:05
Speaker 1: good things obviously, top of the list. Maybe we got
23:09
Speaker 1: do we playing the song about this song? Yeah, the
23:12
Speaker 1: base the top of the list. Number one, best thing
23:17
Speaker 1: I saw slash worst thing has got crag stopped dancing.
23:20
Speaker 1: We get it. One sip of the prosecco and he's
23:25
Speaker 1: we say sip and you just about chugg a lugged
23:27
Speaker 1: the whole thing. This is a good song. Wo I
23:30
Speaker 1: gotta say Seahawks tweet is number one. You've done social
23:34
Speaker 1: media before? Okay, this is actually a really good question.
23:36
Speaker 1: Mohan's done social media for Fox Sports and you use
23:40
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure to tweet these things. Has there
23:43
Speaker 1: ever been anything that's gotten you into trouble? And I
23:46
Speaker 1: don't mean necessarily with bosses. I just mean like you
23:48
Speaker 1: see the responses and you're like, Okay, that was not
23:50
Speaker 1: a good tweet. No, no, what nothing, never because you
23:54
Speaker 1: just like double check, triple check. Yeah, and I would yeah,
23:59
Speaker 1: you absolutely sure. I'm trying to think of I've ever
24:02
Speaker 1: gotten into trouble for tweeting something. Honestly, I am such
24:06
Speaker 1: a paranoid person, like I will just think about what
24:09
Speaker 1: how can this be taken any which way? Like I
24:12
Speaker 1: it's just too it's too dicey. People are just ready
24:15
Speaker 1: to attack you at any moment. You can't just be
24:17
Speaker 1: tweeting into the ether. I don't know how Sale gets
24:20
Speaker 1: away with a lot of the stuff. That's well, That's
24:23
Speaker 1: the thing is, like some people do have the audience
24:25
Speaker 1: that they can tweet anything and they don't get in
24:27
Speaker 1: trouble like sal Like he just he doesn't care. He
24:30
Speaker 1: doesn't care, so he can tweet all of these crazy
24:33
Speaker 1: things and you know it doesn't affect him. But that
24:36
Speaker 1: Seahawks tweet, I'm so sorry. I do actually feel bad
24:39
Speaker 1: for the person that tweeted that. I bet you one
24:40
Speaker 1: thousand percent they're fired, especially since they deleted it. They
24:44
Speaker 1: deleted it because they were being absolutely roasted. Even I
24:48
Speaker 1: tweeted it, like what are you thinking? Okay, next, another
24:51
Speaker 1: great thing that I saw, which I actually don't know
24:53
Speaker 1: how I would feel if I was von Miller's teammate.
24:57
Speaker 1: He put on Instagram him back in his Broncos jersey
25:01
Speaker 1: and he's like, I wonder if my locker is still open,
25:03
Speaker 1: which is crazy because he did that before they got
25:06
Speaker 1: ross spice of lice. Well, he must have heard the
25:09
Speaker 1: news or was thinking that Aaron Rodgers was going Yeah,
25:12
Speaker 1: so that he heard that one of the two was
25:13
Speaker 1: going and he was psyched about it. I don't know which.
25:15
Speaker 1: If you were a Rams fan, Like, if you were,
25:18
Speaker 1: you know, his teammate, I think i'd be a little cheese, like,
25:21
Speaker 1: we just got you a super Bowl. Yeah, you know,
25:24
Speaker 1: he also won them one, So it's kind of like
25:26
Speaker 1: I'd be okay with that. Wow, Okay, I'm giving you
25:29
Speaker 1: all of these things to jump in on, be spicy about,
25:31
Speaker 1: and you were just not spicy today. I gotta you know, Um, Kyler.
25:37
Speaker 1: Another great thing that I saw his Instagram's back, Folks,
25:40
Speaker 1: Cardinals fans, you can take a deep breath of relief.
25:46
Speaker 1: What a dumb thing that we all just went through.
25:50
Speaker 1: Can I can I say that like this was just
25:53
Speaker 1: such a waste of everyone's time. It was and very immature.
25:56
Speaker 1: Did you see his interaction with Mina Kimes? That was
25:59
Speaker 1: pretty interesting? Um? I didn't. I saw the Cardinals tweet
26:04
Speaker 1: with Mina, and then I saw Mina's rebuttal, and then
26:06
Speaker 1: Kyler responded. Tyler quoted Mina's picture of him wearing an
26:10
Speaker 1: A's jersey, three crying laughing emojis. Stop it, dot dot dot,
26:18
Speaker 1: this is our second Mina. Um shout out on this podcast.
26:22
Speaker 1: I think this she actually might be the best sports
26:24
Speaker 1: person on Twitter that exists. Or there was one tweet
26:30
Speaker 1: Josiah is up there, King Josiah is up there. But
26:32
Speaker 1: I actually think friend of the Pod Friend of the
26:34
Speaker 1: Pod Mina's just so fantastic. I remember one time she tweeted,
26:38
Speaker 1: oh my god, my phone is running off hook. I
26:39
Speaker 1: remember one time she tweeted. Somebody was just like, how
26:42
Speaker 1: do you get paid to talk about sports? And she
26:45
Speaker 1: just answered handsomely and I was like, oh, I love her. Okay, guys,
26:51
Speaker 1: we are coming to the end of our show and
26:55
Speaker 1: I don't want to leave this without talking about something
26:58
Speaker 1: that I think has been on all of our minds
27:02
Speaker 1: the last week or so. What's happening in Ukraine is
27:07
Speaker 1: absolutely devastating. I don't even know how to talk about
27:09
Speaker 1: it without crying. But it is very, very hard to
27:13
Speaker 1: watch and feel, I'm sure helpless, like you guys are
27:16
Speaker 1: feeling as well at home, and I just wanted to
27:20
Speaker 1: encourage anybody that, you know, maybe has some spare change
27:24
Speaker 1: land around. I think what the hardest thing about, you know,
27:29
Speaker 1: social media is like you can see all of these
27:31
Speaker 1: terrible things happening, but it's just like content content, overwhelming
27:35
Speaker 1: news feed. Everything the world is just happening, and I
27:38
Speaker 1: think that sometimes it you just have to like take
27:41
Speaker 1: a second and step away from your phone and realize, like,
27:43
Speaker 1: oh my god, the world is like kind of on
27:45
Speaker 1: fire right now, and we should be helping if we
27:47
Speaker 1: can see the NFL is actually supporting relief efforts in
27:50
Speaker 1: Ukraine and in the surrounding region, and you can go
27:54
Speaker 1: to Redcross dot org slash NFL. There's actually they're supporting
27:58
Speaker 1: a bunch of different things, so just do your research
28:00
Speaker 1: and but that is definitely one that you can help
28:03
Speaker 1: out on. I also heard that Airbnb is waiving their
28:07
Speaker 1: rental fees, so if you go on Airbnb and you
28:09
Speaker 1: look up Ukraine, you can actually rent out an Airbnb
28:13
Speaker 1: and that money goes straight to the people who are
28:16
Speaker 1: renting those rooms. So if you want to do like
28:18
Speaker 1: an immediate, you know, helping donation, that is definitely one
28:23
Speaker 1: that you can look into. But I just I really
28:25
Speaker 1: urge you to just like take a second and stop
28:28
Speaker 1: and you know, get off TikTok and like Google, how
28:32
Speaker 1: can I help? Because this this these are real people
28:35
Speaker 1: who are absolutely struggling, and it's just really devastating to watch,
28:42
Speaker 1: and so I really hope that we can all chip
28:44
Speaker 1: in a little bit, and I would really appreciate if
28:46
Speaker 1: you guys did that. We're gonna be back next week
28:49
Speaker 1: talking more NFL. So stay tuned, subscribe, and follow us
28:53
Speaker 1: on Twitter and Instagram to see all the clips and
28:55
Speaker 1: the tweets and everything that we've been talking about. Love
28:58
Speaker 1: you guys, Happy Burday, jug your dog. Next
