  Speaker 1: Oh, what's going on. Happy Wednesday morning to you. Hope
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: everything's going great for you.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: I heard a statement on Tuesday and I'm like, yeah,
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: I disagree with that a lot, and it's gonna sound
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: like I'm a hater, and I really am not, at
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: least in this situation. Maybe another one. But I look
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: at Travis Hunter, number two overall pick with Jacksonville. He's
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: gonna be a special player. He's going to be a
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: really really solid NFL pro might be an NFL star.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: But I do not expect him to be the offensive
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: rookie of the year and also the defensive rookie of
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: the year. That's what it's head coach Liam Cohen throughout there.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: He's a guest on the Rich Eisen Show. Check it
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: out here you go, here's Leam Cohen saying, eh, you
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: know what, don't cut him out entirely.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Could happen. Here's Liam.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Do you think he can be offensive and defensive rookie
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: of the Year in the same year.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I do think it's possible.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: He is committed man like he is committed to driving,
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: not just himself, but his teammates as well. And I
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: think that his teammates like these guys are challenging him
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: every single day, like he doesn't get a free pass
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: because he was the second overall pick in the'st Travis Hunter.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: Like they are in his grill, trying to jam him up,
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: trying to hem him up, trying to make it as
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: hard as they can possibly make it for him in
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: a great way, like in the most healthy way as possible,
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: where they're going at it and chirping at each other.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: But it's truly guy's iron sharpening iron. That's what it
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: feels like. And I wouldn't expect anything less from those guys.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, now let's grate on a curve. First off, I'll
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: give a little leeway because Liam Cone is a first
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: year head coach with Jacksonville. So when you asked the question, hey,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: you think he could win both offensive end defensive Rookie
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: of the Year, I mean it's it'd be very bella check.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: He in to be like, yeah, let's not get crazy
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: over here, you.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Know, right, like to just squelch it right there, Like, yeah,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: that's probably that. I mean, you could, you could, but
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: as a first year head coach, I can understand at
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: least why you wouldn't take that approach.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: And he's like, I think it's it's possible. You know,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: it's possible to me.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: That's like saying, hey, I could end up with Dua lipa,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: it's possible.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Right, It's not impossible, but maybe.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: You can slide into DMS a lot of ways to
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: contact people you never know, right, Like, no, it's it's
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: not happening though, Like here's the thing. Let's let's do
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: the math on this. For Travis Hunter, who I again
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: think will be special. I think he will be a
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: star player in the NFL, but to win both awards
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: as a rookie, the.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Odds are so long of that happening.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Now, if you look at his odds in each market,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: he's got a fighting chance. As far as Defensive Player
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: of the Year. His odds on pay he's second in line,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: So you got Abdua Carter with the Giants, and then
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Travis Hunter. Abduall Carter is plus two fifty. Travis Hunter
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: is plus seven to fifty, so he's a little over
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: seven to one, so he's a bit of a long shot.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: But he's number two in line, so second shortest odds
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: for Offensive Rookie of the Year. He's got the fourth
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: shortest odds. The only players ahead of him are Raiders
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: running back Ashton Genty, Titans quarterback cam Ward, and Chargers
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: running back Omari and Hampton. That's it, and then Travis
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Hunter is next. He's ten to one. The other three
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: players obviously have shorter odds, so I can see where
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: you look at that and say, well, he's only ten
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: to one for Offensive Rookie of the Year. He's like
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: seven and a half to one for Defensive Rookie of
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: the Year. It could happen he might win one of
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: those awards, but to win both, he's gotta be on
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: the field constantly, right, and I just don't think that's
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: gonna happen. The Jags can talk about his conditioning level
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: and I don't doubt that whatsoever. Everybody raves about it
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: like he's on a different level. This guy has energy
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: for days. But at Colorado, I know this, that doesn't
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: even sound real. Snaps per game last season at Colorado,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: this freaking guy, Travis Hunter, he averaged one hundred and
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: thirteen point nine snaps per game.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: That's not happening. In the NFL.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: He averaged, let's just call it, one hundred and fourteen
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: snaps per game at Colorado last season.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: That's insane, So.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Again, props for that, but I just don't think he's
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: gonna be on the field to the same degree in
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: the NFL. And already on the depth chart they listed
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Travis Hunter as a number one wide receiver and a
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: backup cornerback. And the other thing I think about is this, So,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: the Jags had a scrimmage last Friday night at their stadium.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: They're under the lights, the whole thing, and Travis Hunter
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: played both sides of the ball, played some offense, played
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: some defense. But other than that scrimmage, Travis Hunter in
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: practice is exclusively on one side of the ball or
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: the other.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: He's not back for the back.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: It's happened one time in a scrimmage where he's on
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: both sides of the ball. And I'm supposed to believe
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: that he's getting so many snaps come regular season week
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: in and week out, where he's a legitimate candidate to
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: win both awards.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: He's not. And it's not hatred at all.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: It's just when I heard Liam Cohen say, though it's possible,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: that's realistically like saying, hey, it's possible I could end
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: up with Sidney Sweeney.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: You never know. It's it's sure.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: He can't say it's impossible exactly right, Lorraine, It's not
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: gonna happen.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: Anything's possible.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: You could say it's possible for Travis Hunter to win
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: both awards.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen. Right.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: You say it's possible for me to be with Sydney
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Sweeney is not gonna happen. That's where I'm at. It's
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: just he'll be a star. I think he'll be special.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: But come on, let's be realistic. When we're talking about
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: winning both Rookie of the Year awards, that's insanity. That's
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: no no way that happens. By the way, Davante Adams,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: the new Rams wide receiver, he was on the Pivot
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: podcast and he was talking about Travis Hunter playing on
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: both sides of the ball.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: So check this out. I'm curious what Davante had to say.
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: Here you go, I don't even think it's possible to
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: do for real, not at a high level, and then
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: going there. It's hard enough to go cover a punt
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: and then and then be on you know, one side,
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: you know, and I I haven't done it. I'm not
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: acting like I'm gonna kick off or punt. But I
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: can see the dudes in I know, you know, you
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: you got your guys, and you see the yardage of
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: my yardage over the over the game versus somebody that
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: starts on offense and then plays special teams as well, Like,
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: that's just.
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: A lot of mileage, man, And I don't know how long.
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: I'm not even concerned so much if he can do
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: it over the course of a game or a season.
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: It's more like how long is his career gonna be
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: if he's playing that many snaps, because you just all
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: you're doing is doubling your risk for injury one.
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: And I don't wish any of that on him.
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: I hope that he can play an injury free season
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: and go ball out.
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: But I mean, it's just the reality.
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: The more you're on the field, Yeah, I mean, it's
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: already one hundred percent injury guarantee. You know, once you
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: get out there playing both sides and now you gotta tackle,
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: you got you gotta tackle Derrick Henry with that frame.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a that's a great argument. And I think
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: we got into this day and age where something critical
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: it just seems like, oh, it's just hate, hatred, you know,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: you're saying what someone can't do. No, that's realistic. Exactly
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: what Davante Adams said right there. That's just real. Like,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be very hard for Travis Hunter to remain
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: upright if he's getting a ton of snaps on both
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: sides of the football. So this idea one that he's
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: gonna get a ton of snaps. Davante Adams, he was
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: basically like, I don't think that's gonna happen.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: He's talking about.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Him just doing it to begin with, let alone excelling
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: at doing it to the level of winning both offensive
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: and defensive Rookie of the Year. Come on, man, come on, like,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: that's just not a realistic possibility. It just isn't because
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: think about these guys, like, think of the competition. Abdul
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Carter could have a very good rookie season for the Giants.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: That guy was a freak at Penn State. And I
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: mean that as a complete compliment. So that's your competition.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: You're gonna be on the field enough as a backup
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: cornerback where your rookie season is gonna be more special
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: than every other defensive player rookie season. Come on, man,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: as a backup it's just not realistic.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: It isn't I don't want to be you know, like, oh,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: you can't do It's not like that. It's just like
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Davante Adams said, we're just talking realistically here, realistically. It's
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: just not in the cards.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Something I hit on to start the show. I keep
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: hearing this promo from Cowherd and my book, coylehard.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Is the best in the business.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: But even this guy is making smart people sound dumb.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: It's Caleb Williams with the Chicago Bears. I started off
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: the show, and I'm even more I'm even stronger on
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: this now where Caleb Williams is the most scrutinized player
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: in the NFL right now, there is not another player
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: that is more heavily scrutinized than Caleb Williams at this
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: moment and projecting into the twenty twenty five season, there
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: isn't a guy. That's not to say, nobody else gets scrutiny.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Every NFL quarterback scrutinized, every single one, some more than others,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: but every single one of these guys is under the microscope.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: But the way Caleb Williams is being talked about, It's
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: promo after promo after promo on Fox Sports Radio of
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: these dudes breaking down the the video of him throwing
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: a football into a net.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: He missed three throws in a row, and he was frustrated.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: That's it. That's the video.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: And we got real smart people reading into this like
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: we're looking under every.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Rock to see Oh oh, this is a clue.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: This is an easter egg, this is telling the future,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: what's gonna happen.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: No, it's nice.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: It's so absurd, man, there's another video.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: I slipping channels.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: I saw a little bit of First things first today
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: they do a great job on FS one. No, I
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: didn't realize this because I just saw the bad net
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Caleb Williams video. You know, he's missing the tar it
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: And then they showed another one where he's making every
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: throw he threw three or four in a row. Money
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: just cash cash cash cash. It's like, hell, let's delete
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: that video. Coward is amazing at what he does, really
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: really a smart dude. But I can't take that promo anymore.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: I can't listen to it again.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I can't.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: It's so bad. It's one of the worst things I've
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: heard him say ever. Easily we're like, oh, I don't
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: know man like you see this Caleb Williams video. He
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: missed the target three straight times and he's frustrated. I've
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: they deleted it from the Bears, you know, twitter feed,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: because it's bad.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: It's bad. Look, this is a clue. No, it's not.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: It's not even close to a clue.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: It's just a dumb thing that happened at practice, and
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: we're blowing it into something that matters.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: It's ridiculous.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: There isn't another player in the NFL that scrutinized more
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: than Caleb Willlliams is right now now. I came up
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: with my short list of guys that are heavily scrutinized.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: On my short list, I have guys like Dak Prescott,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: brock Perty, Justin Herbert, Trevor Lawrence, all those guys are
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: on my short list. I don't think any of those
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: guys right here, right now, heading into the season, are
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: scrutinized more or will be scrutinized more than Caleb Williams.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I don't think so.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Number One overall, pick Lightning Rod's Lightning Rod for generating
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: opinions in college, and that's carried right over to the
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: bears to the point now where we're breaking down video
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: in practice of him missing a target throwing.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Into a net.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: That's amazing to me, it really is. Do you think
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: we're gonna do that with Drake May tomorrow?
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: We're not gonna do that. Do you think we're gonna
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: do that with Brock Purdy tomorrow? Like, we're not gonna
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: do that.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: We're okay, Kayleb. Williams showed a little bit of fire,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: showed a little bit of fresh You haven't seen top
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: quarterbacks show some frustration even in training camp. Never seen that,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: never happen before.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Like, what are we doing?
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: The guy had a tough rookie season, sacked way too often,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: too inconsistent. Gotta be a lot better, got to avoid sacks,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: got to get rid of the football. This is my
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: main complaint with Caleb Williams. He's extending plays to a fault,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: just trying to hit the big play constantly. I think
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: that gets in his way. I think, hey man, you know,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: dump it down, tuck it and run. Stop trying to
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: hit a home run every time. Look for a single,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: look for a bunt single, Like, just take a win,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: focus on wins. Win the play, whether that's five yards,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: that's seven yards, that's four yards. It's just not a
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: negative play. Just try to win the play, then try
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: to hit a grand slam every time. He does that
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: way too often. And so he's growing. Is a young
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: quarterback who's growing. He's got a better offensive line in
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: front of him, even more weapons to throw to, and
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: an offensive minded head coach. The excuses are over for
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Caleb Williams. But he is so scrutinized where it's on
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: a level we're breaking down his reaction to missing a
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: couple of throws, throwing into a football net.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: That's amazing to me. This is not a clue for
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: the future.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: This is not like, oh well, I told you, this
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: is a confirmation over here. It's nothing like that at all,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: and we're trying to make it out to be. All
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: this does is confirm that he's the most scrutinized, not
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: just quarterback, he's the most scrutinized player in the entire
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: NFL right now. There's not anybody else who's scrutinized more
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: than he is. That's where we're at. Some of the
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: scrutiny is deserved. Former number one overall pick, and he
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: struggled last season. Jalen Jaden Daniels was amazing last season, awesome,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: one of the best rookie seasons I've ever seen stud
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: And it made Caleb Williams look worse. And that invites
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: a little bit more scrutiny for Caleb Williams. Hey, the
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: number two guy outperforms you by a ton, So yeah,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: there are reasons for the scrutiny, but make no mistake,
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: whatever the reasons may be, he is the most scrutinized
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: player in the NFL. I don't think it's even close.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: We had a caller earlier in the show that said, hey,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: what about Justin Fields or Anthony Richardson, Like those guys
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: get scrutinized. But if Caleb Williams fizzles out in Chicago
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: the same way Justin Fields did, he'll get ten.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Times the scrutiny Justin Fields did.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: You still had Bears fans saying, don't get rid of
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Justin Fields, Keep Justin Fields. Those Bear fans shouldn't be
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: allowed to have any more opinions on football.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Ever, again, Justin Fields.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Is not anywhere close to a good NFL quarterback, And
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: to just like it's been kind of broken for four years,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: but you know, maybe.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Just try it again. Let's see, Oh my lord.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: But the point is, if Caleb Williams fizzles out the
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: same way, or even worse, well, worse would invite more scrutiny.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Let's just say on a similar level, fizzles out, he'll
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: be scrutinized way more than Justin Fields ever was. If
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Caleb Williams puts up numbers identical to Justin Fields over
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: four years, no Bear fan, no human being, will be like,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: maybe they should run it back.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: For another year.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Which there were a lot of Bears fans that said
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: that with Justin Fields will not happen with Caleb Williams
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: at all. He's just more scrutinized. He's scrutinized on another level.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: I think he's the top guy in the NFL right now.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: He's making smart people sound dumb. Cole Hurd is the
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: furthest thing from a dumb person. He sounds dumb in
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: that promo.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: It's just true. I don't mean this.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Would be Fox FSR on FSR crime over here. You
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: know we're compadres over here. But that's just that's crazy.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: That's a lunatic take, right, there like oh the fields.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Like man, they took it off the website. It's a
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: bad look like this tells us nothing as far as
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: the regular season goes, as far as this future goes.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Got frustrated and missed a couple of throws. That's it.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: That is all it is.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: This is not some big picture takeaway whatsoever. It just
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: confirms he's the most scrutinized guy.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: I feel free to check in Militia eight seven seven
• 17:40

• 18:00
  Speaker 2: all about. Right around the corner. I'm Brian though in

  Speaker 2: your early morning hours are going swimmingly. Man, oh man,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: that's crazy here, you know. I'm gonna get to Justin Fields.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: And I was looking at Justin Field's numbers with the Bears.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: My lord, so his passer rating in three years with
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: the Bears eighty two point three. I like playing this
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: game a little bit, like, what's an idea of where
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: eighty two point three would be in the NFL last season? Well,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: that would be just a little bit above Will Levis
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: is where Will Levis was at eighty one point four
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: last season with the Titans. And Justin Fields gave you
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: a little bit better over three years with the Chicago Bears.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Right there is what.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: We're looking at not stellar, not awesome, not exactly what
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: we're looking for right there. But that was the reality,
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: and that's a rough reality for the Bears and for
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Justin Fields. And so I'll get to the to take
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: in just a bit here, but let me go out
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: to the militia. Milicia is chiming in. We want to
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: get to them. So let me see real fast. Let's
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: go to uh. Mark, Mark's got some thoughts on Travis Hunter.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Curious about this?
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: What's going on?
• 20:13
  Speaker 9: Mark? Hey, how's it going? Brian?
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Good bud.
• 20:18
  Speaker 9: My question is this on Travis Funda. You think he'll
• 20:22
  Speaker 9: play as much defense as Dion Sanders played offense.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: It's a good question, you know.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: I think that defense is I think that's the better
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: spot for him. I think that he projects to be
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: a more special player on the defensive end.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: But I don't know. It's rookie year.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: This to me just screams like we got to get
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence on the right page, and that's why they've
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: got him on the offensive side of the ball. But
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: where he is throughout his career, I really don't know.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: That's a great question from you. I don't know how
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: it's going to go for his career, but for this season,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: I think he's going to be more used offensively than
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: on the defensive side. That's at least my guess as
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: far as that goes. But you know, hey, time will
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: tell see if that works out or not. But that's
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: a great question, you know, or think of. I'm trying
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: to think of other players that were used on both
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: sides of the ball. But Dion, you know, he moonlighted offensively,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: you know, with the Cowboys a little bit there. I
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: think that Travis hunder had answered the question. I think
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: he'll get more snaps defensively this year than Prime got
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: on the offensive side of the ball. I just don't
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: know how many snaps he's gonna get. I don't think
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: he's gonna get anywhere near the amount of STAPs he
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: would need to get to be like a legitimate candidate
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: to be Defensive Player of the Year. I just don't
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: think that's realistic. Hey, our girl Andrea is in Berkeley,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: wants to check in.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: What's going on? Andrea, how you doing.
• 21:53
  Speaker 10: And enjoying your show? Thank you?
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Doing all right? You know, my computer just kind
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: of died.
• 21:58
  Speaker 11: I don't know what.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: But aside from that, it's freaking retrograde, right, that's.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: What's going on here.
• 22:04
  Speaker 10: You read my mind everything as above, So below mercury
• 22:08
  Speaker 10: has been retrograde July seventeen. It's coming out of retrograde
• 22:12
  Speaker 10: August eleventh, so hang in there. Very soon. It's coming
• 22:16
  Speaker 10: out of retrograde and then it goes into retro shade,
• 22:19
  Speaker 10: which is two weeks after until it gets back to
• 22:22
  Speaker 10: one hundred percent. But we'll take it. It's coming up
• 22:25
  Speaker 10: August eleventh, so that's something nice to look forward to.
• 22:29
  Speaker 10: And I know how much you like the full moon, Brian,
• 22:32
  Speaker 10: so I had to put in a call and resh
• 22:34
  Speaker 10: you a happy full moon. In Leo, it's called the
• 22:37
  Speaker 10: lions Gate moon.
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 22:39
  Speaker 10: Yeah, And it's Saturday, August ninth, twelve fifty six am.
• 22:44
  Speaker 10: So technically the eighth ninth is the full moon in Leo,
• 22:48
  Speaker 10: also known as the lion Gates full moon, and a
• 22:52
  Speaker 10: very spiritual time to manifest what you want to bring in,
• 22:56
  Speaker 10: cultivate inner piece. It's really a very nice full moon.
• 23:01
  Speaker 10: I saw her in the sky. She was definitely waxing
• 23:03
  Speaker 10: to full, so I can just imagine in a couple
• 23:06
  Speaker 10: of days what that'll look like. And I know how
• 23:09
  Speaker 10: much you'd like to howl, So I wanted to give
• 23:12
  Speaker 10: you some advanced notice if you'd like to howl at
• 23:14
  Speaker 10: the fullest.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: I do appreciate that.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: I do, yes, Andrea's right, I literally howl at the
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: full moon like the wolf. I am, Yes, I do
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: that even to this day. Now, is this you know
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: you don't judge my.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Howling over there?
• 23:29
  Speaker 8: Lorena?
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: How dare you you know?
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: How howl my lungs out here? Is this moon going
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: to look any different?
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Andrea? It sounds very fancy.
• 23:38
  Speaker 10: Oh, it's not necessarily going to look any different. It
• 23:41
  Speaker 10: will be a full moon, but it won't be like
• 23:44
  Speaker 10: a blood moon or you know, an eclipse or anything
• 23:47
  Speaker 10: that's actually September seventh or the ninth. But it'll certainly
• 23:52
  Speaker 10: be a full moon in Leo, so it'll look like
• 23:55
  Speaker 10: a full moon. And again, Lionsgate, because it's in Leo,
• 23:58
  Speaker 10: so give people a little extra attention, a little extra affection.
• 24:03
  Speaker 10: Leo sort of kind of rules the roost in that way.
• 24:06
  Speaker 10: But again, it's a full moon in Leo Lyonsgate eight
• 24:11
  Speaker 10: eight twenty twenty five, So that's really something to look
• 24:16
  Speaker 10: forward to. And really we're on the cusp of it.
• 24:18
  Speaker 10: I always tell Ben, you feel the full moon three
• 24:21
  Speaker 10: days before the day of and three days after. Yeah,
• 24:25
  Speaker 10: so we're in the zone.
• 24:27
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: I got to know this, yeah, Andrew, because we've spoken
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: quite a bit over the years, which I'm thankful for.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: And we did a little karaoke on today's show. And
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: I'm not asking you to do a karaoke version, but
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: I'm just curious musically, what's something, what's like a go
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: to for you?
• 24:46
  Speaker 10: Oh, you know, I'm glad you asked that, Brian. It
• 24:49
  Speaker 10: was the sixtieth anniversary of the Grateful Dead and they
• 24:53
  Speaker 10: were in San Francisco at Goldigate Park this weekend commemorating that.
• 24:58
  Speaker 10: So it just brought back like the energy, the best vibes.
• 25:01
  Speaker 10: It was like, wow, so time has flown by. So
• 25:06
  Speaker 10: the Grateful Dead, Dead End Company, Jerry Garcia, those are
• 25:10
  Speaker 10: kind of my go tos and it was just really
• 25:13
  Speaker 10: nice to see, you know, peace and love. And they
• 25:17
  Speaker 10: dedicated a street in San Francisco to Jerry Garcia. His
• 25:21
  Speaker 10: daughter Tricksy was there. She's a fellow Virgo. I've done
• 25:25
  Speaker 10: her chart and the giants are going to have Grateful
• 25:28
  Speaker 10: Dead Night August twelfth at.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: The ballpar really. Yeah, I didn't know this. You're deadhead.
• 25:34
  Speaker 10: Oh yeah, hardcore deadhead?
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 25:37
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 25:38
  Speaker 11: Well, also, the Oregon Ducks are going to be having
• 25:41
  Speaker 11: a grateful dead night. They yes, and they have instructed
• 25:45
  Speaker 11: the student body to do a you know, they do
• 25:48
  Speaker 11: like a like Penn State does a wide out game,
• 25:50
  Speaker 11: and it's going to be a tied I out.
• 25:53
  Speaker 10: You know. I love that because I've heard other teams
• 25:55
  Speaker 10: have celebrated, you know, grateful dead night around the league.
• 25:58
  Speaker 10: But I didn't know the Oregon Ducks. That's pretty cool
• 26:01
  Speaker 10: in the tie high.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, your picture very cool. Wow, I didn't know this.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: I'm thankful for knowing a new fun fact about you, Andrea.
• 26:10
  Speaker 10: Oh yeah, and I'm a good company. It was sold out.
• 26:14
  Speaker 10: It was sixty thousand a night, you know, one hundred
• 26:17
  Speaker 10: eighty thousand for three days. It was really amazing. It
• 26:21
  Speaker 10: was just beautiful to see that positive energy and you know,
• 26:25
  Speaker 10: good vibes and peace and love. It was just really
• 26:27
  Speaker 10: nice to see San Francisco the way it used to be.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Man, I hate to break up all this like positivity, Andrea,
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: but y'a I'll expand on this in a second, but
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: I do feel it's necessary.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: I have to tell you.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: We're not exactly face to face, but I have to
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: tell you, I freaking hate the grateful debt. I kind
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: of hate myself for hate. I hate it more than tool,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: like I bang on Tool. I freaking hate the grateful
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it is with me.
• 26:56
  Speaker 11: I don't.
• 26:56
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean it's not for everyone, and quite frankly,
• 27:00
  Speaker 10: in my experience, either you really love the Grateful Dead
• 27:03
  Speaker 10: or you really hate them. It's not a lot in between.
• 27:06
  Speaker 10: So I give you the space. You know, we all
• 27:08
  Speaker 10: have our own journey. So that's okay.
• 27:10
  Speaker 9: No.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that you're so cool, Andrea. I always appreciate
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: you being positive like that. I need to take lessons
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: from you with your positivity, but appreciate you checking in
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: as always.
• 27:20
  Speaker 12: Uh.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: There she is Andrea in Berkeley. Yeah, yeah, man.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: As a true story at school, I almost got into
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: a fight with one of my good friends. I apologize
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: if I've told this story before, but I went over
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: to his house, like he had a house off campus.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: We're hanging out at his house, his house. He's playing
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Grateful Dead. I kept turning it off because I hate
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: him that much. He almost got into a fight because
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: it kept on turning his music off in his own house.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know, man, my hatred is real
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: for them. I don't like that. I do feel that way, but.
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Man, there's something about Coop. I don't know.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: You could maybe speak to this. There's Uh, there's plenty
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: of happy music out there. I'm totally cool with it,
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: totally fine as soon as it has sort of like
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: a hippie.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Vibe of happiness. You know what I'm saying. I see red.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I need to get on a couch
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: and talk to someone about this. But yeah, man, I
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: don't know. I can't stand damn grateful dead.
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: And you know how I feel about your precious tool
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: over there. Cool? You know your band that sounded bad?
• 28:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: You know I feel about your freshest band Tool there.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Oh man, I hate the dead way more. It's crazy,
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: all right, My guy love speaking to Cowboy here. Here's
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: some positivity, right, love Cowboy, he's in Windsor he's with us.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: What's going on? Cowboy?
• 28:53
  Speaker 10: Oh?

  Speaker 12: thirty years ago, Uh, Flaturday, age fifty three, four days
• 29:01
  Speaker 12: before Mickey Mantle and anyway, former Major leaguers calnosteen he
• 29:08

  Speaker 12: eighty six Saturday. And Julian Havier was in the sixty
• 29:17
  Speaker 12: eight World Series as a cardinal second basin against the Tigers,
• 29:21
  Speaker 12: will be eighty eight. And of course the second bombing
• 29:28
  Speaker 12: of of Nagasaki three days after the bombing of Varosima
• 29:34
  Speaker 12: was August ninth, nineteen forty five. And these two acts
• 29:38
  Speaker 12: killed about two hundred thousand people immediately, and many others,
• 29:42

• 30:36
  Speaker 12: I'll call them all and remember you got to be
• 30:38
  Speaker 12: a bully of your cowboy.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Well, nice stuff there, he is Cowboy and Windsor. Fantastic job.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: I love how cowboy he doesn't. You know, he lets
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: it all out there, whether it's a positive anniversary, it's
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: you know, it's a NASCAR driver.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: And hey, hey, by the way, turn fifty.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Three or whatever it is, or it's a bombing that
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: wipes out hundreds of thousands of people.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all fair game. You know, that's all just
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: in his head, right, he just throws it out there. Yeah,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: that's not.
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: Written down or anything. He just has these random facts
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: in his brain.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Wow, nicely. I love getting these fun facts.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: I never knew Andrea was a deadhead, had no idea.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: I love that fun fact.
• 31:21

• 33:53
  Speaker 2: for the grateful dead. I don't know what it is,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: but I'll say it's like kind of like this with
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: jam bands, kind of like the hippie vibe.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it is with me.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: I'm not against happiness at all, but when it's like
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: a hippie vibe of happiness.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: It bugs you. It bugs the holy hell, right, yes.
• 34:14
  Speaker 9: I have.
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: Okay, So they have like a summer festival that they do.
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: Maybe it's a spring festival.
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: Anyways.
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: I went with my family when I was younger, Hippies galore,
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: and back before weed was legal. I remember we went
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: there and people were coming out of the porta potties
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: completely hot boxed, and I'm like, I'm just a kid,
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: like nine and ten, and I'm like.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: It smells like skunk, Dad, what is that?
• 34:41
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And they like hemp bracelets and hemp necklaces, like
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: total hippie vibes.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, like that's the thing.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: I've got some friends that are hippies. I'm not against
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: the people, I'm against the vibe.
• 34:55
  Speaker 11: How that sounds.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: I hate the vibe. Oh my gosh, I hate the vibe.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you.
• 35:01
  Speaker 11: So, if you had a time machine you went back
• 35:03
  Speaker 11: to Woodstock, you would have just been so miserable. You've
• 35:06
  Speaker 11: just been like, f this concert.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, I've been Give me out of here. I
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: would have gone to see Hendrix and then I would
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: have left. I mean, like, give me on a you know,
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: the first thing smoke it out of this place.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: This is brutal.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, if they're like the hippie section, I'm not there.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: I'll be there for the other cool parts of it.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: But not no, not the no, not down with the vibe.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Can't get down that way.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what it is with me,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: but that's where I'm at.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: I don't want to end on this note, but I
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: kind of have to pay it off. And it's the
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: reality of what's going on here. There was a there
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: was a positive spin on a horrible practice and I
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: just thought it was interesting. So this is Justin Fields,
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Jet's new quarterback here, and he was terrible for a
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: third straight practice in a row. Okay, the offense is
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: just doing terrible. In training camp he threw two interceptions
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: and team drills he threw another pick in seven on
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: seven and for the last three practices. Someone's even charting
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: his numbers. He's fifteen for forty two. Not great, not
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: killing it. Also held the ball too long, shockingly, got
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: sacked three times. It's not working out well, not going well,
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: and Justin Fields had an incredibly positive spin on this
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: is what he said, trying to look forward here is
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: Justin Fields.
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: It's a great opportunity to see, you know how we're
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: going to respond on Thursday.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: There we go.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Yes, I threw three picks, horrible, third straight day in
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: a row. Defense got the best of us. It's an
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: opportunity for Thursday. That's the day we're circling. Thursday. Let's
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: get after it. And this is the bigger picture. This
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: is what I figured out about myself today. You ever
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: figure something else out about yourself and you didn't realize it,
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: That's what happened to me today. I'm not against positivity. Now,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: judging from the segment, you might debate that, but you
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: have to trust me. I am not against positivity. But
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: I am against hippie positivity. And I'm also against positivity
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: that's unrealistic. I didn't realize that about myself, but I
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: figured it out today. I'm against unrealistic positivity. If someone said, hey, uh,
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: maybe the Titan's gonna win the Super Bowl this season,
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: that is unrealistic positivity. I'm against that. It's gotta make
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: some sense. If someone said, hey, maybe Justin Fields will
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: play good football this season, that is unrealistic positivity. If
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: you just look at this objectively, it's not in the
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: cards for Justin Fields.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Justin Fields has been a.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: Below average quarterbacks quarterback for we'll say three seasons. He
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: played a little bit with the Steelers last season, but
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: not much, not much of a sample size at all.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: We're talking six games. That's not much to go on.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: In those six games, respect it was respectable. I'll give
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: him some credit. In those six games they went four
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: and two, threw five touchdowns, only one pick. He was respectable.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: Passer ratings around ninety three. That's okay, it's not bad.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: Very short sample size, but three years in Chicago nothing
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: to write home about. Topped out at seventeen touchdown passes
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: his second season. That's the most he's had in a season.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: His last year.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: He had Dj Moore at wide receiver, Cole Kmet at
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: tight end. That's enough to be more productive than he was.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: He's not an accurate guy, holds onto the ball too long,
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: doesn't put up numbers. And now he's with the Jets team.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: I didn't even realize it was this bad fun fact
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: for you. The Jets have had a bottom ten scoring
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: offense for nine straight seasons.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Nine years in a.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: Row they've been bottom ten in scoring and now they're
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: having Justin Fields take over for Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: struggled with that offense. You think Justin Field is gonna
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: turn the corner here? What would make you think that?
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: What are his weapons? He's got Garrett Wilson And that's
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: the end of the list. Garrett Wilson is a very
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: good wide receiver. That's pretty much all he's got. You
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: think Justin Fields with a bottom ten scoring offense for
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: the last nine seasons, he's just gonna take over after
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: stinking it up day in, day out in practice. When
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: lights turn on in its regular season, it's go time.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: The lights probably aren't gonna be on. That's unfair. Just's
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: gonna be playing a lot of times at one pm
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: Eastern on a Sunday, that primetime games galore or anything, right,
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: But when it's the regular season, it's he's not gonna
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: kick it into high gear.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Sorry.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: It's like all these people keep waiting for Justin Fields,
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: who's a great athlete, to put it together and be
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: a competent NFL quarterback. I'm here to tell you this
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: isn't personal, and I'll be rooting against the guy. This
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: is me just looking at everything object objectively, it is
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: not in the cards. It's not so it's gonna be
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: a rough year, and anybody thinking the opposite that it's unrealistic.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: Positivity.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: I hate to end on that note, but I think
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: it's accurate for whatever that's worth.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Hey, i'll tell you what. We'll end on a positive note,
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: come hell or high water tomorrow morning.
