  Speaker 1: way to free it. Hate it.
• 1:03
  Speaker 6: There's been some stuff out there about how to hit,
• 1:06
  Speaker 6: but I feel like we don't talk enough about how.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: To be hit. Yeah, Like, and there is a science

  Speaker 1: their weight against them. Yeah man. Yeah, football is the

• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Immensely, immensely.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Some of the most successful people in our country played football.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: This is Patriot's Unfiltered, presented by Toyota's official website. For deals,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: buy a Toyota dot com.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: All right, welcome the Patriots Unfiltered. It is Wednesday, here
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: at before World Cup Boston Stadium, and the gang's all here.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: It's it's Evan, it's Paul, it's Me, it's Deuce, it's
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Alex and Alex in the booth. And we got here
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: early because we had to take a team photo for
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: the Patriots yearbook.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: It's a photo shoot. I would say, yeah, photo shoot.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: So you're gonna want to make sure you get the
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Patriots yearbook this this season. Uh so you can see
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: us in our Patriots Unfiltered ad that's going to be
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: in the yearbook.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Blue Steel was out page.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: The white light and I can't turn left.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: So anyway, we're back here talking Patriots, talking everything else. Obviously,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: we've been talking a lot of World Cup because we're
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: immersed in that, and I I I just want to
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: lead off by by giving a little bit of a
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: mea kopa, you know, because when this whole World Cup
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: thing started here. It was a pain in the ass
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: for us. You know, it was a lot of I
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: can't go here, can't go there? Got you in all
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: this stuff, and you know, it.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Was it was an inconvenience for all of us.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: But now that I've seen the spectacle that it is
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: not just here but in all the other stadiums, it
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: makes sense. It makes sense why FIFA had to take
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: down every sign and why they had to be so
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: fussy about security and everything.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Because this is huge. This is huge. I mean, this is.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: You're bringing the world to all these sixteen stadiums in Canada,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: US and Mexico, and FIFA had to make sure that
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: it was right. And I think so far it shows
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: that they knew what they were doing. They knew what
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: they were doing. So in terms of getting it right,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I guess it's okay to be a little inconvenienced, you
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: know what I mean?
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: I would say last week.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Figured out that it's okay to be conned.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: But seriously, you know, like and you know, and it's
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: the other thing is like, you know, everyone was so
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: quick and I'm not saying us, I'm talking about like
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: outside media.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Like so quick it's going to be disaster.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: No, because they did it right, because they planned this
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: out years in advance, and because they were so finicky
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: about things, it has been fairly smooth. You know, you're
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: you're bringing to all these stadiums. Probably eighty percent of
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: the people coming have never been to the stadium before,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: let alone the region. Like I would imagine most of
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: the people are coming to our games aren't even from
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: New England let alone having been to Gillette Stadium before.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: So like, so they had to take special care to
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: make sure that, you know, things were clear, there was
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: public transportation and all that, and so yeah, they're doing
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: it right.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I would say to the last week, obviously, with
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: the our friends from Scotland being here, was as much
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: energy in the city as I've seen since I lived there.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Talking about economic boom. I mean, they basically drank the
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: town clean.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I've never seen anything like it.
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: I would say, like when our sports teams are on
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: deep playoff runs, it's similar, but this has so much
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: tourists impact, where there's probably an extra fifty thousand people
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: in the city that wouldn't be here normally. The summer
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: is usually pretty you know, hopping anyways to with tourists,
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: but nothing like this. I mean we were out on
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: Friday night with the US game and then Scotland played
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: later in the day and like there's people just like everywhere.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: You know, Union Street forget about it.
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: You can't even get there in Fanuel Hall, the North
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: end was packed, but just like partying, like not just
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: people physically being festive. Yeah, I mean I was telling
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: these guys like we were. There was a guy driving
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: down Hanover Street out his sun roof with the Moroccan
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: flag and he was waving the flag. Then there's like
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: people and you know, the dudes in kilts are everywhere,
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: the Scottish are everywhere. There's US soccer jerseys everywhere. Like
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: it was every single table at dinner was talking about it. Yep,
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: there was no other conversation going.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: On about it.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: And I would be remiss if I didn't also do
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: a shout out to our boss, you know, because a
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: lot of people said.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Why are they Why is he doing this? Why does
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: he need it?
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: You know, they're not making that, They're not making the
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: ticket revenue were you know, all the revenue from the
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: merchandise that's all going to FIFA. But I think Robert
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Kraft's experience from ninety four bringing the World Cup here,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: you know, thirty years ago, Like he knew now this
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: is probably thirty times even a bigger event than it
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: was then, and so he knew that there is some
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: downstream advantages.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: To hosting this.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: And you know, he was on the committee to get
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: the games in the United States, not just here.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: And I think we're seeing that.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Like he even asked I heard he asked the NFL
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: or Go Solem suggested that, you know, someday the Patriots
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: would like to play a game in Scotland.
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: I don't think it's so that that's what everyone's saying,
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: like on social media and like TikTok it's like when
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: can we have another playdate with Scotland. So I was
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: going to say, like we should do a call to
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: action the Scottish fans in November when we go to Germany,
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: Like I know it's not in Scotland, but the Scottish
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: should come through and we can it's a train right away.
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they might be coming back there. Right now, they're
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: around US thirty two game against Germany's Germany Scotland here, wow,
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: so they might be coming back I've never, like I said,
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: I've never seen anything like it where the whole city
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: is just bumping, like it is just.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: As really.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: How country empty I must be.
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: Not even just Boston.
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: I think the USA in general just knocking it out
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: of the park hosting this World Cup. And you talk
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: to people that are from other countries. They didn't know
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: we had this like stadium infrastructure here and they're experiencing
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: it all for the like the first time. It's funny
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: because like both of my grandmothers religiously watch the news
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: from Spain and Portugal, and like the perception that those
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: like that media gives of the US is so different
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: than the reality. So it's like an entire continent of
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: people like experiencing the US for the first time and
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: kind of seeing how awesome it is.
• 7:52
  Speaker 8: And it's just.
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: Hilarious, like knowing like RTP is the big news station
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: in Portugal. It's like whatever the dots of Germany or whatever.
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: It's just so I love seeing just like the perception
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: of it. And then they're coming here and they're realizing, oh,
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: this place rocks, and I don't know, they're making like
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: me have a better appreciation for our country.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Right, you know, they the restaurants, the grocery stores, the
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: you know, the plentitude that the.
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: BUCkies that we had my favorite tweets are people going
• 8:21
  Speaker 7: to BUCkies.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's good stuff.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: So it's it is good for Gillette Stadium and the
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Patriots and the United States as a whole to have
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: the World Cup here.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: It's it's a massive event.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: It's it's bigger than the Olympics, right, and it's bigger
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: than the Super Bowl.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to see the playoffs.
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: I'm like, you know, now I'm getting to the point
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: where we were starting to get people slotted into what
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: is it the round of thirty two?
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: What is that with the next the playoffs? Is that proper?
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: So it's around of thirty two now, just to be
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: what snarky a little bit, Usually it would be the
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: round at sixteen would be the first knockout.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: So this is the expansion.
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: Because of the expansion, there's an extra round knockout games.
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: So the rat this will be the round of thirty two,
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: So it will be you know, some of the matchups
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: that you're seeing are not normally teams that would probably
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: advance this far in the normal World Cup.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: But you know, I think it does help a little bit.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: I don't think it.
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: I think this would happen regardless to an extent, but
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: the US being scrappy in the tournament I think is
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: definitely that help because all the Americans are like have
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: a rooting interest and you know, people are excited about
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: that as well. There's a lot of people that don't
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: know a ton about soccer that I think are asking
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: a lot of questions.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Right. That's like me, Evan, that's like it's been great.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: What the other day where they literally had like messe
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: Bape like all these star players, you know, going right
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: through like my whole timeline after talking last week on
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: the guy from Norway freaking already blanket on his Holland Holland. Yeah,
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: I mean it's all my timeline is now is that guy.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: So I think they've done a really good job of
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: I don't even know if they're marketing the stars.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: It just seems like and Holland they're going to be here. Ye,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: that's gonna be a Friday game on Friday. Yeah, that's
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: gonna I heard tickets right now, like like five thousand
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: to get it.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Really, so.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: That game kind of like they're both already advanced.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: Well, they're they're playing for the number one seed in
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: the group though, so there is.
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: Something so obviously like if you're a higher seed, then
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: you get a better draw, that.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Sort of thing.
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: They did a tweaking the rules this time that I
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: think backfired a little bit, where head to head is
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: now the number one tiebreaker over gold differential. So like
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: the third game in the group stage used to have
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: like a lot more meaning because if a team like
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: won five to nothing, that could change the whole group
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: like overnight, Whereas now a lot of these seedings are
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: already determined because it's head to head instead of gold differential,
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: which was kind of I think maybe a misstep a
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: little bit. But I wonder if things like that were
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: done for the American audience because like gold differential is
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: kind of hard. Yeah, you know, but but the But
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: now two games into the group stage, the US has
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: already clinched the number one seed in their group. They're
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: playing for absolutely nothing on Thursday.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Night, right, but they're playing for the same thing, right,
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: They're playing now, don't.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Don't they because there's no one that's going to tie
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: with them. Yeah, they are, so they're through.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: But that's a matter like how you finish in terms
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: of how you get seated. Like I know they're going
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: to be number one in their group, but out of
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: the one hundred and eleven teams, I'm still going to
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: be around after this round thirty two. That's my that's
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: my one snarty yes, because they eliminated like twelve teams
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: from the from the tournament. I don't know why we
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: bother with this group stuff if everybody's just advances. But okay,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: so that's my one. But that's not my one way
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: negativity because I I've I've been completely you know, entertained
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: by by all of it for all the reasons you
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: guys said.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: And it's because it's like two hours.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Well, I would just say that the stuff that that
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Alex is talking about with the country has made me
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: proud because I'm sick of getting the crap kicked out
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: of me about how bad my place is, which is
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: all I've really endured for like twenty years now, like
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: all these people telling you how bad your country is.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: So it was really nice to see.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Once again, in a big event, our country puts the
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: best foot forward and shows you, oh no, maybe we
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: do know something about what we're doing.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: That's been really rewarding for me.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Sports and drinking. Hell yeah, all the stuff you guys
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: are talking about about the star power. Like I'm sorry,
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: I do not watch a lot of soccer. But when
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: the guys that even I've heard of or is like
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: scoring hat.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Tricks right right exactly and.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Braces bracing, like fascinates me. How many, how many, how
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: many words they make up for themselves like nil and
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: brace like you.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Can't say you're tied, you can't.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: It's like, it's it's been pretty cool to see these
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: names that I've known about for twenty years. There's forty
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: one year old Ronaldo, thirty nine year old Messy like,
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: and they're still do it.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: They're still playing.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: And I know, I know there's Bekistan for.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Ronaldo one. I guess what it was definitely an.
• 13:07
  Speaker 7: Asterisk in the Euro the year they won the Euro
• 13:11
  Speaker 7: and twenty sixteen their first game was a drop.
• 13:13
  Speaker 8: They got it out of their system.
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: Now we go, your team is stacked, but not because
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: of him, Like Portugal has a great team, one of
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: the worst.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Teams in the in the World Cup, and that's for.
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: Sure, for sure, and that's why Portugal buried them yesterday.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: You know, yeah, totally.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: That's it's been cool to watch.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: I you know, I'm not going to pretend to you know,
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: appointment viewing and what it's on in the background.
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: It's like Fred Yeah's thing where you put the baseball on.
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: It's like your friend, Like, that's what I've been doing
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: during the day.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I did it yesterday.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: I was sitting around doing some stuff for the yearbook
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: and in Game Day magazine, and I had the Portugal
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: game on, and you know, every two seconds it was
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: Ronaldo doing this, and I like, I looked, I looked
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: up how bad they are like in the FIFA rankings,
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: because Bekistin is like fifty. They're really Yeah, I would
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: say that those like were a couple of things about Alex.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Don't laugh with me that the.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: Forty eighteen expansion.
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: To me, I think it's been good for the respects
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: of like all these star players are just dominating the
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: group stage, which is fun. Like you see, like the
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: other day it's Messi and Bappe Holland and they all
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: scored multiple goals, multiple goals, which is fun to watch.
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: But you know, Paul's team, Italy, I'm sorry, Italy is
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: better at soccer than news Bekistan.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: They just are but they have no one to blame
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: but themselves.
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: Though I understand, but I'm just saying like that, that
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: part of it, you know, you know we gotta watch
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: like you know, Argentina just steamroll a team.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Maybe we should have the NCAA pick the team that
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: get in.
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: It used to that would be the automatic big The
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: group stage used to just be a little bit more competitive,
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: I would say like that. You know when it was
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: only thirty two teams and the groups were a little
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: bit more competitive and it was actually hard to get
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: out of the group, you know, it wasn't It was a.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: Challenge for a lot of teams.
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: And they had you know, the group of deaths where
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: there would be three or four really good teams in
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: one group just by the draw and you know.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: There would be a really good team that Norway and
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: France being in the same group is that's ye, that's tough.
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: But Norway like like Norway's okay, they have Holland, but
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: like they're not they're not Argentina, France, no Germany.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: I saw.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: He hit twenty two miles an hour, Like they show
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: one of those trackers like we usually do what I mean.
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: You know in NFL we get that with any next
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: gen and that's like if somebody breaks twenty miles an
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: hour on the next gen thing, or like he was
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: hitting twenty two and he's like six five of.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Right, he's a truck.
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: There's usually a couple of teams that have a player
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: like holland who is they have one guy who's the
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: whole team.
• 15:45
  Speaker 9: You know.
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: I remember, like Zlatan Ibrahimovic when we were younger, the
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: guy like was literally Sweden.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Was getting a lot of criticism about his coverage.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know he's trying to be so much. Yeah,
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: he was the entirety.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: That's a whole the story.
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: You know what Uruguay I had a couple of runs
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: with like Gonzalahi and Suarez and those guys, and it
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: was like they have a couple of guys, so they
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: have one guy that's Norway.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: Norway has one would make a great targarian, like that
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: guy was meant to play one of the targarians right
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: in the.
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: Game of at least a cameo like cameo.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: You know, or one of those elves and Lord of
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: the Rings. You know that the big scare the ones
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: with the arrows. All right, So that's World Cup. Just
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: I just wanted to get my Mia Koppa out there.
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: I think it's been going pretty good though, Fred like
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: just living a town away there, like our town was
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: preparing for chaos and.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: There hasn't been chaos. There's you know, it's been cool
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: to go to like.
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: Our local angels little coffee shop and there's random fans
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: from random places just posting up there.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: You know. We were, god, what was Morocco.
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: We had like some Morocco fans there, you know, and
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: they're seeking out like the Middle Eastern place it was.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: It's just been cool.
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: It's been really cool and it hasn't been the chaos
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: that you were kind of worried.
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: It's like with everything, everyone's like all up tight before,
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: like predicting the worst, so negative, and then it plays
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: out and everything's fine. And that's like every literally everything
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: in life.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: You plan for the worst and you hope for the
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: best always.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: But but people, but I think there was a lot
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: of negativity going into this that because it's soccer was
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: just not fair.
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: It was a sport that we liked more. Yeah, like
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: nationally that we liked more. I don't think there, yeah, but.
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: Like then again the Knicks one, and like no one
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: gave a crap the next day because of the World Cup,
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: like except for New York and exactly it was honestly,
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: my favorite part about the World Cup was that it
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: totally just like.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: What people know.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: The people in New York, New York, no one news cycle.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: The title. How long is it's supposed to go?
• 17:55
  Speaker 8: Usually it's the dead of summer. There's nothing going on.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: And that's because I saw that in all the sports
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: and all the championships outside of that region or in
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: the city, no one cares.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: It's it's a one day news cycle when you win
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: a title.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Now it used to be more, but not anymore, not anymore.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: People move on very.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: Quickly, like it can never just let us have any
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: fun us the one.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I had already heard your title and something that I
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: thought about on my riots.
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: All the talking, they go, oh, well, how do you
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: build like the Knicks? And it's a week long of
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: like everybody now, the only way to win is how
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: the Knicks build. And this was like the knixt one
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: of the title. Everybody in New York partied about it,
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: and then it was like the next day it was
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: back to the World Cup and it was beautiful. That's
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: exactly how it should.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Go, all right, all right, yeah, Bradley, what else do
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: we have? We have?
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: You know, some players have been showing up at some
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: of their own little events, uh, in different places.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Married, get married.
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: Like I'm sharing not to just uh, not to rail you, Fred,
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: but I just read this. I'm reading this news ESPN
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: draft and it's Matt Miller, who we've interviewed every time
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: I saw this. He was in a major car accident
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: and had his left arm amputation.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Oh no, that's fortunate sharing the news online.
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: But you know, show we talked to him, Matt every
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: year at the at the draft combined great guy ship.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: That's sorry, there was a that's okay.
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: There was a New York Post article about her some
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: one of those places, and like he must have shared
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: a picture of his his car after the crash and
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: his his Bronco is just like totally gosh. Yeah, it
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: was terrifying. Yeah, we know, we know, back to.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: The Patriots, you know, in front of the show.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: But yeah, bring.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: It down, take a little longer a file of stories
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: then anyway, yea, So what else what do we got got?
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Barry Morton got engaged. I just can't Baron Morton. Baron
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Morton got engaged. He now he got engaged, more got engaged, had.
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: A quiet, not secret wedding, but a very quiet wedding
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: this summer.
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: That was that based off the piece you wrote was
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: that last year engaged and that was it? That that
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: that piece the numbers. I'm not sure about the Barry
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: Morton one though, maybe that one will.
• 20:28
  Speaker 10: No.
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: It's like it's kind of striking because right now it's
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: the time and there's just nothing going on. I mean
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: I look at like the Patriots, you know, like my
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: Twitter Patriots feed, and there's just nobody's doing.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Nothing right now.
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: It's all kind of quiet. It seems like the time
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: to I think that's themat on things.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: That's the other reason why I.
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: Think the World Cup has taken over so much as
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: it hit at the perfect time. There's literally nothing else
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: going on unless your friend and you're still watching the
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: Red Sox.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: There's nothing else going.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: I was thinking of you and Barth as I was
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: driving up today because the league said we're not going
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: to have a supplemental draft, and I was thinking, you
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: guys always go down to Park Avenue and camp out
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: the draft, right we sit outside.
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: We were any thing about it yesterday. That is news
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: though it is it is kind of a remarkable story.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: Uh, Soresby now is basically in limbo.
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: Good Like some people are saying he's gonna have to
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: go play like in Canada or something like that, just
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: to play some football and you know whatever. But uh,
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: it's a it's an awkward situation because, uh, you know,
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: they've let other guys in the supplemental draft that have
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: done illegal things, that have drugs and you know, all
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: sorts of stuffed.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: This a little bit though last week just about how
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: quick it is and if they all have enough time
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: to sort of vet him, Yeah, a little bit.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: And I think.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: That's really was the impetus for their decision, right. But
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: it was weird about it though, is like you said,
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: a deadline. So is that the deadline or is that
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: not the deadline? Because if he doesn't file the paperwork
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: in time to do your investigation, but he made the deadline.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Right, you know, And and so I was a little surprised.
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: It's a unique situation and he there's no go back
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: to college football for him, and there's no going in
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: the NFL now for him. So the twenty twenty seven
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: draft is the next time that he's.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Do you have any sympathy for him?
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: No, I don't have any sympathy for him because I
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: don't think that he's really showing much remorse for the
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: situation and he's lawyering.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Up more information and all that kind of stuff. Like
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: on the surface of it, he bet on his own team, right,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: he gambled, and you can't do that.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: But no, like, no one's arguing that what he did
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: isn't serious. Yeah, but like there's a lot of guys
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: that have gambled on their teams, on other teams, whatnot,
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: So, and they should stuff that concept?
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: Is that lifetime ban?
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Oh? Most don't. I'm not talking about that, are they?
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: No, I'm saying like consequences, most don't.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well I think you know, it's just like the
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: whole Pete Rose thing, Like, no, he should never go
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: into the Hall of Fame.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, That's why I said, Like, did he bet
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: against his team?
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean you bet on baseball.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: He definitely should not be allowed to play for Texas Tech. Yeah,
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: Like they just caught him betting when he was at Indiana.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: I don't really think there's much of an argument for
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: that ruling that you know, allowed him to play, allowed
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: him in an injunction or whatever. But a year from
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: now in the NFL, Like, I don't know, should he
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: not be allowed to play?
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: I think it's interesting because they're like kind of punishing
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: him for rules in the NFL's collective bargaining agreement.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: But he's not in the NFL yet.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: But I listen, I don't think he should be banned
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: for life, but take a year off and when you
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: come in, by the way, we're going to monitor you.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: You know you're you're on probation. That means it's a
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: huge quarterback class next year too, So yeah, kind.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: That just adds another one.
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's lawyering up.
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: Jeffrey Kessler's like the NFL is like thrown in the
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: NFL side with the nflpa's representing him and we'll see you.
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: But it just it's a weird, great area where he's
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: not eligible to play in college football and this is
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: what the supplemental draft is for. But the NFL kind
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: of wants to punish him for what he did in college.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: But he's not, that's not what he did. The NFL
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: is not well. Do they want to punish him or
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: do they just want to avoid him?
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: I think both. I think they you know, they there.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: They don't have any jurisdiction over him.
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: They shouldn't, but they by saying he can't go into
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: the supplemental draft, they are.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: I think they just want to avoid having to deal.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: With And I agree with you, Fred, I don't have
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: much sympathy right now. He did what he did and
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: there should be some consequences.
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: It's just the betting on his own team part of it,
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: because to me, college football.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: You can't bet on the industry judgment.
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: It's your judgment.
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: If you would be so dumb as to do something
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: like that, what other poor decisions.
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: But you know, the elephant in the room is that
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: the league is making tons and tons of money off
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: of gambling. So it's just the hard thing to.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: Argument when I signed something that say we can't better, Like,
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: how difficult has that been.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: For you to adhere to? Serial Like? I never right, Yeah,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: I don't have.
• 25:11
  Speaker 8: Gambling to begin with. I presume like there is an
• 25:14
  Speaker 8: addiction for me.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: I like to I like to dabble.
• 25:18
  Speaker 8: I think when you're a lot of kids.
• 25:20
  Speaker 7: I would say that young are kind of growing up
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: where they're pushed to it and maybe get addicted too
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: soon because they're just way too young when they get
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: involved with that. And you do see that everywhere, like
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: you guys have sons, you know this.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: Oh no, absolutely, so it's way too easy to do it.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: But it's not.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't say that any more kids do it now
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: than they did when I was.
• 25:43
  Speaker 8: Situation.
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: I just worry about the president.
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: Like, Okay, so Josh Gordon had like a known serious
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: drug problem to hard drugs, and he was allowed entry
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: into the supplemental Draft and came to the NFL.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: But this is a difference, and I know that society
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: wise it may not be as big a deal, but
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: within the industry, gambling affects the integrity of the industry
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: and whether or not you think that there is integrity
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: that exists the league. Every league has to do whatever
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: it can to at least show publicly that they're worried
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: about the integrity of the game, because let's face it,
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: if we think the games are fixed, we're not watching.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: They don't care why the NFL ruled They of course
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: not only did.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: They rule what they rule? Did you read the letter?
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: It is like scathing, like you know, just.
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: Really they have to be hard on it, and I
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: get it, but I just think that it's a it's
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: a weird precedent to set, Like they're punishing him for
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: something he didn't do in their league, so like they
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: really shouldn't have jurisdiction on him, but they're making him
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: pay for it.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: Anyways, And as as a point of comparison, when they
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: found out about some other guys that gambled when they
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: were in college that didn't get caught when they were
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: in college, they didn't retroactively punish.
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: Thing, right, Yeah, yeah, Well if k had gotten caught sooner,
• 27:06
  Speaker 7: like if you got him.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: From the draft, I don't know.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know either.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: But they have to take a tough stand on gambling, uh,
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: within the sport nice.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: And they did, Like with Calvin Ridley, they did. They
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: did suspend him for a year.
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: Well what happens when somebody goes says, Josh Gordon had
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: an addiction problem. I'm addicted to gambling. I have a
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: it's a it's get help.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: But that's that's absolutely why you can still play. But
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: you have to get.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Help, right, right, so they like admit it. Like you said,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: this guy is not showing much contrition.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: It doesn't seem like that.
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: Now I'm on the outside looking in, but lawyering up
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: and like kind of playing hardball so to speak with all,
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: not only with the NCAA, but now with the NFL.
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: Also just feels, you know, like a guy that's not
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: necessarily thinking that he did much wrong.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Can you give me cool? What is his background? Like
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: I know you say so he.
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: Played at Cincinnati, right, and then he trans played for
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: Indiana or no, he was going to Texas Tech U
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: for this fall season, and then all this came out
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: with the gambling, and Texas Tech initially stood by him,
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: and actually because they gave him like a big nil
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: contract like over you know, five million dollars in nil
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: money to play at Texas Tech.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: Initially they stood by him.
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: And the ripple effect, all of their their games were
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: literally getting canceled by their opponents, their opponent and not
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: just in football, like they were canceling games in other
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: sports that try to send the message like this is
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: not acceptable. Then they went to judge in Lubbock, Texas,
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: which is you know, no bias there is, yeah, and
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: they the judge gave him an injunction to play, but
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: like obviously that was you know, fixed or something, you know.
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: And so now they've ruled that he's ineligible to play
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: in college, and so he filed for the supplemental Draft.
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: Now the NFL is saying you can't do the supplemental Draft.
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: They did say that he could go into the twenty
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: seven raft. So he's got to go find some place
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: to play football for a year, Canada probably or whatever,
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: and then in April of twenty twenty seven, he's draft eligible.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: That Lea's already going, isn't it the Canadian Football League already?
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: It's not already.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: I don't know exactly when their season is.
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: But he was somebody that, you know, some people thought,
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: if he had a good fall season at Texas Tech,
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: was going to be a first round pick, you know,
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: in one of these guys with Arch Manning and all
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: of them, that we're going to be right up there
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: for you know, he's got those kinds of physical tools.
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: So you know, most people thought if he had been
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: in the supplemental Draft that somebody would probably put in
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: like a second round pick to bid for him.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: I mean I've seen as many as like a dozen
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: quarterbacks maybe in the top three rounds, two rounds. Like,
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know if they're all I mean, obviously they're
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: not all going to pan out, but there's a pretty
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: deep crop a quarterback.
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: It's hard because a lot of them transfer right, Like
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: you know, so like Soresby was one of them.
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: The kid from North Texas is pretty good too, funny name.
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: He's Yeah, he's transferring into a bigger program. Uh, you
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: know you have Arch, you have the kid at Oregon,
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: Like you know, those are kind of more.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of the Chambliss.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not a I don't know about Trinidad.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: I don't know about him as a pro either, but
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: he'll probably go in the top three rounds. Yeah.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: All right, So that's some things that are on the table.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: Eight five five Pass five hundred is the hotline podcast
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: at Patriots dot Com is the email address, so it's
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: wide open. Uh, if there are other NFL stories out
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: there that we haven't hit on, you can free to
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: bring them up. World Cup Baseball, Jalen Brown still a Celtic.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: We got that issue going on here in Boston.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: That's a big story that the Celtic is gonna have
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: to figure out.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: So, whatever you want to talk about, let's start it
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: out with Herm and d C. What's up Herm?
• 30:51
  Speaker 11: What's going on?
• 30:52
  Speaker 10: Ladies and Jens Hey? Uh?
• 30:56
  Speaker 11: Two quick questions, right, My first maybelug little question. My
• 31:01
  Speaker 11: first question is if you pulled all the places in
• 31:04
  Speaker 11: the NFL, right, I would say they will prefer to
• 31:08
  Speaker 11: play on natural grass versus turf. So, but it seems right, So,
• 31:15
  Speaker 11: but it seems like there's more terf in the NFL stadiums,
• 31:19
  Speaker 11: all right, So my first question.
• 31:21
  Speaker 12: I guess will be why.
• 31:23
  Speaker 11: And then my second question and apologies to Advan because
• 31:27
  Speaker 11: I think we talked a little bit on ketshway too,
• 31:30
  Speaker 11: and I'm restockling this question because I want to hear
• 31:32
  Speaker 11: everybody else's opinion on this. It seems that for right
• 31:36
  Speaker 11: now Cover six coverage, right.
• 31:39
  Speaker 12: It seems to be Drake Mays kryptonite.
• 31:43
  Speaker 11: And the simple question is why and then if the
• 31:48
  Speaker 11: acquisition of Adrian Brown might help with that. So those
• 31:52
  Speaker 11: are the two questions I'll take up there and listen.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Thanks to So as to the first question, I think
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: you're right most players would prefer natural grass. But all
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: these stadium in the NFL are multi use stadiums, you know.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: You know, the Gillette Stadium is one of the rare
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: ones that's privately owned, but most of them are partnerships
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: with the county or the municipality or the state or whatever,
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: and they have an obligation to bring in revenue. For example, Houston,
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: the Texas Stadium was built, was built as much for
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: the Rodeo as it was for the Houston Texas.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: So they're all multi use.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: And if you have grass, it's going to get torn
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: up by concerts and whatever else you're bringing into the stadium,
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: and so financially it just you just can't you know,
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: it's just this by November beginning in December, the fields
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: torn up, as we saw every year here and in
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh when they had grass.
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah, a lot of the stadiums that do have like
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: maybe not fully natural glass, but some like combination of it.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: They wheel it in, they wheel it in.
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so when they have concerts and stuff that they
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: have a floor for that, and then when the football
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: team comes in places they do that in Arizona, Vegas,
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: but those places have the weather for it, you know,
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: like they can grow grass year round and keep it,
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: you know, in good shape. So I don't know if
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: we would be able to have that advantage here.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I do wonder if there's a way.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: There probably is a way, but it would probably be
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: very expensive and not full proof, you know. So this
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: is like, I don't think like the turf that we
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: had years ago, you know, astro turf that was that
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: was you just walk on it, you get a hamstring,
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: you know, it was terrible.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: This is better than that.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: But it's gone to many many generations. It's still not
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: it's still it's pretty good. It's pretty good.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: Well not for player injuries, you don't think so. No,
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of turf related injuries still.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Well it was grass related injuries too.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know when it would sod would come
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: out from under your foot and all that stuff you
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: pulse of. I think I think people make it a
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: thing about turf, kind of like what they did with concussions.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: It's like, really, I mean, you have injuries in many
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: different ways in many different sports, and to blame it
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: on the surface nowadays, I think your way.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: To try to make amends with Roger Goodell after you
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: called him out in the last show.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, I just think I think that.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: Today our fans are telling us this is what they want.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Today's generation of artificial turf is much much better than
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: crap that was in Houston or the Veteran Stadium.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: No Veteran Stadium, Yes, not the Craft Houston.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Like that's this the astronome I'm talking about back then.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: I mean they were the first.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: One that astro turf as we know it. Oh my god,
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: this is this.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Would like just like it was a carpet cements for
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: the rug on it.
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: It was at least this has a little bit of
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: like hold like goes in to it.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Especially definitely better than that.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: I just remember like.
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: Your feet would just like burn like because of the
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: it gets hot. Yeah, and like it just that was
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: a part of me that was always really uncomfortable about it.
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: Like I wasn't playing, I wasn't playing fast enough to
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: get hurt.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: So I just remember you were cutting with enough.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's an excellent, excellent restaurant, right, you knows what
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: you're talking about.
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: The cover sixth question, we went down in a rabbit
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: hole on That's a catch twenty two questions, but we talked.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: About I saw you write the same thing.
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, it's uh dad and cover zero or his
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: two lowest coverages that he faced in terms of the
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: e p A uh you know efficiency. So we talked
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: about it on Catch twenty two a little bit, and
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: I wrote a little bit about it in our training
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: camp previews. But it's interesting. It's a you know, it's
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: quarter quarter half, right, so you have one side of
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: the coverages cover to one side of the coverage is quarters.
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: So it's a combination of splait, safety zone coverage and
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: you know, I think there's a little bit of a
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: chicken or the egg thing going on there. Like the
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: teams that run it are really good defenses, like Seattle,
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: So when you see it, you're seeing it against really
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: good players, which definitely helps. But it's also you know,
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: that's the thing now, is a lot of split safety zone,
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: a lot of quarters, a lot of you know, cover two.
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: That's what zero blits though, I mean the zero blits
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: that's you know, is that to me signals he's got
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: to know when it's coming, he's gotta know where.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: He's got to yeah, and get it out.
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think a lot of that would be you know,
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: pre snap protection.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: So who's winning in the NFL these days? Defense or offense?
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: Defense? Yeah?
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: Defense, defense, And you know, I think schematically, you know,
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: maybe the numbers don't back that up, but I would
• 36:42
  Speaker 6: say from an x's and O standpoint, defenses have figured
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: out ways to limit explosive plays. They figured out ways
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: to cut down on the impact of motion. I've seen
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: a lot about that this offseason, about how with all
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: these split safety shells and the things that defenses are
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: doing that it's kind of wiping motion out as like
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: a trick for offenses. So it's it's defenses have pushedback,
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: They've they've kind of changed, and a lot of it
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: is just simple, We're going to put two safeties over
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: the top of the defense and knowledge and throw the
• 37:14
  Speaker 6: ball down the field. But for the most part, you know,
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: there there's a lot of that going on. So it's
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: it's fun to.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Watch Anthony's in Seattle. Hey Anthony, Hey, what's up?
• 37:25
  Speaker 13: My people?
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Hello?
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: Hey, Hey, they do stuff.
• 37:27
  Speaker 9: We're all we're all human.
• 37:29
  Speaker 12: You know, the guy lost his arm, you can cuss. Hey,
• 37:33
  Speaker 12: I wanted to call it in.
• 37:35
  Speaker 9: I feel like I love you guys. You guys know,
• 37:37
  Speaker 9: I love you guys. I feel like I can say
• 37:39
  Speaker 9: this and it comes from a place of love. But
• 37:42
  Speaker 9: I always said, you know, I could listen to the
• 37:44
  Speaker 9: PU crew talk about anything, and I think we finally
• 37:48
  Speaker 9: found that that thing that I can So I'm listening
• 37:51
  Speaker 9: on on Tuesday. And I never realized how little I
• 37:55
  Speaker 9: care about soccer because I don't think about it, and
• 37:58
  Speaker 9: I didn't realize how much I don't care about it
• 38:00
  Speaker 9: until you guys spit an entire episode talking about one
• 38:08
  Speaker 9: one off season thing. And now that Alex and Paul
• 38:11
  Speaker 9: are both on the show at the same time, I
• 38:12
  Speaker 9: wanted you guys have mentioned a while back the show
• 38:16
  Speaker 9: your friends and neighbors love love that show. Curious, kind
• 38:20
  Speaker 9: of a couple of things. Uh Uh you know that
• 38:23
  Speaker 9: that you guys had kind of that you like? Uh, plotlines, characters,
• 38:28
  Speaker 9: et cetera, et cetera. One thing I just wanted to
• 38:30
  Speaker 9: touch on is and spoiler alert for those who haven't
• 38:32
  Speaker 9: seen the season finale is uh, James Marsin's.
• 38:35
  Speaker 10: Character owen Ash.
• 38:37
  Speaker 9: I like that guy, and I spent the entire season thinking,
• 38:41
  Speaker 9: like conversation an antagonist or a guy that we hate,
• 38:46
  Speaker 9: but that hasn't happened. Yet so I was like waiting
• 38:49
  Speaker 9: for the other shooting drop, for something really really despicable
• 38:52
  Speaker 9: for him to do, so we can say, Okay, that's
• 38:54
  Speaker 9: why we're supposed to hate this guy. But it never happened,
• 38:56
  Speaker 9: and then the guy died while you still like them,
• 38:58
  Speaker 9: so I'm like.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: You cut up, Okay, all right, thanks.
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: If you're watching it live by, it's almost like.
• 39:05
  Speaker 8: Anthony Show too. But Paul, we literally just had the
• 39:10
  Speaker 8: same discussion.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a great character Barsden. Did any of
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: you see this? It was a one Jerry duty.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there was so good.
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: There's another there's another second?
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: D oh there is? Yeah, No, I haven't seen that
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: one yet. He's not in it. Probably isn't as good.
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: No, it's really good. Not maybe not as good as
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: the first one, but it's really good.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: We enjoyed it because I think that would be hard
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: to duplicate.
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: Well, it's different, it's a different Okay, it's it's not.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: The episode would would go into the bathroom where James
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: Barsden went to the bathroom. That was like, you know,
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: a lot of these stars don't aren't self deprecating. They
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: don't make fun of themselves the way he does. Like
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: I like him.
• 39:52
  Speaker 14: I love.
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: I just think it's funny that like I would have
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: recognized him. I guess maybe it's because I watched so
• 39:58
  Speaker 6: much TV and movies that I but like the guy
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: and Jerry Duty had had no idea who he was.
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: Oh really, And I was like, you don't. You don't
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: If he did, would have been ruined, right. I hope
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: that they ye. Next one is a company retreat. It's
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: called and it's same concept, but the company goes on
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: a company retreat and there's one guy that doesn't know
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: it's a fake company.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: It's okay, the new employee or something.
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, new employee just got higher.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:25
  Speaker 6: And so then the same exact concept where all this
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: nonsense happens and the guy's like, does it is clueless
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: that it's all scripted?
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I like it. It's so funny that Jerry Duty
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: was tremendous. Yeah. I saw bits and pieces enough to
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: like I got. I couldn't get. I said to my
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: wife last night, I'm like, I gotta go back and
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: watch that. Yeah.
• 40:45
  Speaker 6: I feel like with your friends and neighbors, though, everybody
• 40:47
  Speaker 6: is like somebody that you're kind of supposed to hate
• 40:50
  Speaker 6: but also pulling for at the same.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: Time and from what I love Andy, Jerry Duty made
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: me think of you while I was watching, because I
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: would imagine there was a lot of show running going
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: on during that show.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: Sure, we've got to change this right, right, right, he's
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: not reacting to this, get them, Yeah, i'd have to
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: be very much.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: I mean it's it's like reality and scripted kind of collide,
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: you know. That's what's kind of cool about it. Let's
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: go to Jake in Wisconsin. What's up, Jake?
• 41:17
  Speaker 10: Hey, how are we doing good?
• 41:19
  Speaker 15: I've got a quick questions kind of like about three
• 41:22
  Speaker 15: different position groups. So the first three that I'm thinking
• 41:25
  Speaker 15: of that are kind of like question marks, And I
• 41:28
  Speaker 15: think the wide receivers mostly answered, and I think that
• 41:31
  Speaker 15: we're going to feel really good about it as the
• 41:33
  Speaker 15: season goes on. But as far as the O line
• 41:36
  Speaker 15: and linebackers go, what's something that you guys look forward
• 41:38
  Speaker 15: to kind of measure success. I know you could answer
• 41:41
  Speaker 15: that question like with data or just by like the
• 41:43
  Speaker 15: season narrative, watching the games, but when we're looking at
• 41:46
  Speaker 15: the linebackers, O line receivers, what are you looking forward to?
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: Say?
• 41:49
  Speaker 15: All right, we got the right guys here, we got
• 41:50
  Speaker 15: a good group and how.
• 41:52
  Speaker 10: Quickly do you want to or do you expect to
• 41:54
  Speaker 10: see the answer that question.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: I mean for the O line.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: To me, it's it's the overall performance of the offense.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: If the running game is efficient and Drake May's got
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: time to you know, relatively good time to perform, then
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: I to me, that means the old line's doing its job.
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: You know, for the linebackers, if they're making the tackles,
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: especially if they're making plays on the ball. I think
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: that's what separates great linebackers from you know, a couple
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: of years ago, they had devastating injuries that inside linebacker
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: I remember, and that was when Ellis kind of got
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: his break and broke through. But you know, watching a
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: team that doesn't have the second level players capable of
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: running the ball down, getting through tackles, getting around tackle
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: or blocks, and making plays so competitive.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: Twenty thirty years ago, you could tell like what was
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: going on with linebackers, Like if the secondary was making
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: a lot of tackles, that wasn't good.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: Sure, it's like if your leader.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: On tackles with safety that was Now it's changed a
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: little bit because they play a little close to the
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: line and all that stuff, you know, with the third
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: safety and everything.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: But but these guys.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: But if obviously, if your linebackers are making a lot
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: of tackles in today's game, that's probably good.
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's what they want in this system
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: with Spillane and Ellis, you know.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Those two speed guys.
• 43:04
  Speaker 5: But I got kind of a bigger point maybe I
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: could bring up to the group as I was like,
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: I know, Fred, you ponder things when you're driving sometimes
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: I do. I just I'm wondering about the defense as
• 43:12
  Speaker 5: I'm thinking, are they kind of gonna be too stuck
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: in nickel because they don't really have the pieces to
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: go down to base like a pure nose tackle, a
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: pure strong side linebacker. They got rid of Jennings, they
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: got ready to buy those bigger bodies, you know. They
• 43:26
  Speaker 5: brought in kJ Britt, who's and you know, have movement.
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: But those are again more guys that play off the ball.
• 43:32
  Speaker 5: But then you want to go up to you know,
• 43:34
  Speaker 5: dime or a quarter even, I mean, the the players
• 43:37
  Speaker 5: down the depth chart you think of you're starting eleven
• 43:39
  Speaker 5: on defense that the base you know.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: Barmore, Williams, Landry, just plug them in there.
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: The basic eleven with Marcus Jones in the slot and
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: the two linebackers.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: You know, you get into your dimebacks and you know,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: Mike Brown, Charles Woods, Kendall vildor like so going down
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: or going up out of nickel. It's it gets a.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: Lot of those teams that have a nose true nose
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: tackle is is defense in the NFL become positionless.
• 44:02
  Speaker 16: Where you know, I mean maybe a little in the
• 44:04
  Speaker 16: back end with the safeties lit with the safeties, yeah,
• 44:07
  Speaker 16: I mean I think that you still up front, you
• 44:10
  Speaker 16: still have body types that are you know, playing that
• 44:12
  Speaker 16: You're not going to put, you know, three hundred plus
• 44:14
  Speaker 16: pound guy out on the edge, just like you're not
• 44:16
  Speaker 16: going to put a two hundred and fifty five.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: I think of the days where you had a four
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: to three and these four guys a line up here,
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: and the three linebackers a line up in the back, filling.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: Gaps and all that stuff. Yeah, doesn't seem to be
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: that way anymore.
• 44:28
  Speaker 6: I would say that where we were in like a
• 44:31
  Speaker 6: base defense renaissance for time being, uh, and then now
• 44:35
  Speaker 6: teams maybe are playing a little bit more three safety
• 44:38
  Speaker 6: then they were pure based, so like to deuces point.
• 44:41
  Speaker 6: Last year, the Patriots were a heavy three corner nickel team.
• 44:45
  Speaker 6: They they played standard three corner nickel a lot. It
• 44:48
  Speaker 6: didn't burn them until the Super Bowl. They got to
• 44:51
  Speaker 6: the Super Bowl and Kenneth Walker won the MVP of
• 44:53
  Speaker 6: the Super Bowl, and that was that.
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: But that was brought up.
• 44:56
  Speaker 6: I think Dan Orlovsky might have brought it up the
• 44:58
  Speaker 6: first time of like, the one thing I look at
• 45:00
  Speaker 6: with this team is that they play a lot of
• 45:02
  Speaker 6: three corner nickel and if somebody commits to the run
• 45:05
  Speaker 6: and actually runs the ball on them, they could have
• 45:08
  Speaker 6: issues with dad. And it took all the way until
• 45:11
  Speaker 6: Santa Clara for that to pop up, but you know
• 45:14
  Speaker 6: that that would be one thing. And you know, I've
• 45:16
  Speaker 6: been a big proponent of you know, big dime or
• 45:19
  Speaker 6: big nickel and getting a third safety on the field.
• 45:21
  Speaker 6: But the Deuce's point, do they have the horses? Like
• 45:23
  Speaker 6: is Mike Brown good enough?
• 45:24
  Speaker 5: And am I being too picky with this because I'm
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: looking at their dime back and they're you know, like their.
• 45:30
  Speaker 6: No, Because that's like, you know, if everybody's going to
• 45:33
  Speaker 6: play multiple tight ends, which is where the offenses are headed,
• 45:37
  Speaker 6: where everybody's gonna play two tight ends. If you're in
• 45:39
  Speaker 6: three corner nickel against two tight ends, then you know
• 45:42
  Speaker 6: you might get run over, right, you know.
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: I think the secondary part of that, I don't think
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: you're being too picky. I'm not as worried about the
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: absence of Tonga.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think I can get a guy, and
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: I think you can get a guy.
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: But even if it's it's it's like a Corey Jordan
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: or someone like that, you know, I think that'll be okay.
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: You know, that to me is more like short yardage situational.
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: But if you wanted to, like, could Draymond Jones just
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: as easily be like a strong side linebacker as opposed
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: to just you know, what if what if like gab backus, Yeah,
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: you know he's got the type I mean field out
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: and he's maybe he's like in every down player with Draymond,
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: Like if you had to do that, yeah, if you
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: had to do what you're talking about, I don't.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: And that's what that's where that's to be an expert.
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: That's that's where that's not my n know because it
• 46:29
  Speaker 5: kind of happened last year too. It's not like you know,
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: like Jack Gibbons, like you know, Jelny to Bay like,
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: these aren't.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: Pieces that made this defense go.
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: But you know, to Evan's point, they played the seventh
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: most nickel in the league and they were twenty first.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: In base in dimes.
• 46:40
  Speaker 5: So you know, just looking at this year, I might
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: be thinking, I'm either going to go heavy with multiple
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: tight ends on them and force them to you know,
• 46:47
  Speaker 5: get Marcus Jones off the field, or I'm gonna spread
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: them out and I'm going to get down to that
• 46:51
  Speaker 5: fourth and fifth cornerback or third safety and I.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: Try to expose those guys in coverage.
• 46:55
  Speaker 5: I don't want to let them be in their base,
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: you know, nickel defense that they usually right.
• 46:59
  Speaker 6: I guess the question is is like if they you know,
• 47:02
  Speaker 6: because that's what Seattle did. They put their two tight
• 47:04
  Speaker 6: ends on the field, They ran the ball, they play
• 47:06
  Speaker 6: action dog Marcus Jones trying to cover a tight end, right,
• 47:08
  Speaker 6: and they got the jatchups that way. They you know,
• 47:11
  Speaker 6: obviously the edges were an issue if you do that
• 47:14
  Speaker 6: as the Patriots, like, are you just willing to be
• 47:17
  Speaker 6: a little leaky against the run?
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: Like, are you willing to kind of.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: Get My answer to that would be yes, Yeah, I'm
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: perfectly with that, And I would.
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: Take the Super Bowl over again based on the amount
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: of field goals they forced. If the offense had done anything,
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: the game's different. And maybe Seattle can't run the ball
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: as effectively as they did in the second half because
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: the Patriots are scoring and they're forcing you to do
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: something different.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: I think they were able to play that way because
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: they controlled the game from start to finish.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: It declared early.
• 47:46
  Speaker 6: That's but that's like the Marcus Jones of it all
• 47:48
  Speaker 6: is just the body type thing.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: You got it? You know, like you.
• 47:53
  Speaker 6: On a tight end, like is that a good matchup
• 47:55
  Speaker 6: for the Patriots if you play more dime, Like maybe
• 47:58
  Speaker 6: he finds a role further away from the ball, you know,
• 48:01
  Speaker 6: in the back end, like at safety, and you can
• 48:04
  Speaker 6: put a bigger body in the nickel spot in that way,
• 48:07
  Speaker 6: you know, you can match up body on body with
• 48:09
  Speaker 6: tight ends. I think that Dad's probably like, that's not
• 48:13
  Speaker 6: why they're going to like not make the playoffs, but
• 48:15
  Speaker 6: that when you get into these matchups in the playoffs,
• 48:18
  Speaker 6: like these are the things that could decide those types
• 48:20
  Speaker 6: of games.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, Uh Christian in La, what's going on?
• 48:26
  Speaker 9: Hey?
• 48:26
  Speaker 12: You guys, say you guys, say you guys. So you know,
• 48:30
  Speaker 12: I got a thing in my call about the stores
• 48:33
  Speaker 12: by kid, and I think it seems like everyone's going
• 48:35
  Speaker 12: a little a little easy on him. I mean, this
• 48:38
  Speaker 12: kid made five million dollars in college. Let let's let's
• 48:42
  Speaker 12: keep that perspective. And he still thought it was a
• 48:44
  Speaker 12: good idea to.
• 48:46
  Speaker 10: Place nine thousand bets on football. But he's got a
• 48:51
  Speaker 10: kid that you know, was feeling good about his team
• 48:54
  Speaker 10: and thought like, hey, let me take a shot. Need
• 48:56
  Speaker 10: a better to nine thousand bets?
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: Is that true? Nine thousand, nine thousands.
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: I just want to know what which part of being
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: banned is being too easy on them?
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 49:07
  Speaker 10: The fact that everyone's talking about giving him another chance,
• 49:09
  Speaker 10: well maybe you know, well, he'll get another chance eventually,
• 49:12
  Speaker 10: but he's he can't play for a year, right, That's.
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: That to me.
• 49:18
  Speaker 10: Listen to listen to my logic here, because I don't
• 49:21
  Speaker 10: think this kid is there's an or belongs in the
• 49:23
  Speaker 10: league and the way the league is changing, especially coming
• 49:26
  Speaker 10: from college where that's right, there are kids getting paid
• 49:29
  Speaker 10: now to be in college, and yes, what are they
• 49:31
  Speaker 10: going to do with that that money? And things like
• 49:33
  Speaker 10: the new gambling rules and laws all around the country
• 49:37
  Speaker 10: with you know, online gambling and stuff. This is a
• 49:40
  Speaker 10: serious issue for kids that are in jellens.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: And maybe that's why he's been banned. That money right, YEP,
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: I totally agree.
• 49:46
  Speaker 10: So he gets a one year banned. But then you're
• 49:48
  Speaker 10: asking no minimum team that's that's find Paul. But now
• 49:52
  Speaker 10: you're asking an NFL team to take this kid that
• 49:55
  Speaker 10: obviously has some character and some judgments and huge ones
• 49:59
  Speaker 10: making fight million dollars and it's fighting to bet on football.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: Well, they got rid of the supplemental draft, so no
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: one can take them.
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: That's exactly right. Just like Calvin Ridley got banned for
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: a year, but you got.
• 50:08
  Speaker 10: To talking them with bands for a year. Calvin Ridley
• 50:10
  Speaker 10: is a wide receiver. He's not the face, the face
• 50:13
  Speaker 10: of the franchise. He's not the one that is acting.
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: We got another We got another logical argument. It depends
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: what position you play, whether it's.
• 50:22
  Speaker 4: But I guess what what do you want them to do?
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: Christian band for life?
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: He wants some band for life.
• 50:28
  Speaker 10: And say, you know what, I'm not going to put
• 50:30
  Speaker 10: my put that in my franchise.
• 50:32
  Speaker 4: I'm not gonna put well, it's up to all the
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: thirty two teams.
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: The last that's what I was getting, your last, your
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: last few calls. They've always been from a very high
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: moral high ground. Is this an awakening that you've had
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: that you are the arbiter of good morals for patriots unfiltered?
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: It seems a new path that you've taken, that you
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: are the judge and jury of everybody these days.
• 50:54
  Speaker 10: Look, if no one else is willing to call out
• 50:56
  Speaker 10: some of these things, I'm willing.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, that's fine, that's okay. So goodness, that's Christian.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: Thank goodness for you Christian.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: We're gonna call you Judge Christian from now on. So
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: that's good about Saint Saint Christian.
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, thank goodness to have somebody that's all right to
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: say banning him is not enough.
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: As long as he's owning it, that's that's fine. We
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: know that when Christian calls, he's got some type of
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: craw in his gullet uh for uh for for something
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: that's going on in the world that he objects to.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: That's that's fine, isn't it though?
• 51:28
  Speaker 6: Like it's kind of like when we talk about like
• 51:31
  Speaker 6: national laws versus state laws, where it's like all thirty
• 51:34
  Speaker 6: two teams got to vet him and decide whether or
• 51:36
  Speaker 6: not they want to take him or not. So like
• 51:39
  Speaker 6: next year, and if he is, if it does, he
• 51:41
  Speaker 6: does have to wait till the twenty twenty seven draft.
• 51:44
  Speaker 6: He might go undrafted, right, you know, and he might.
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: Be the first overall pick.
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: Right again, I couldn't agree that it's.
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: I don't know is that true.
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: I don't think you want to look into the amount
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: of bets that other people have made. I just would
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: just why not, because I don't think you'd like some
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: of the interests that people that are playing right.
• 52:02
  Speaker 6: Now if you want to, like I would, it's got
• 52:06
  Speaker 6: to stop. If the Arizona Cardinals vetted him and did
• 52:10
  Speaker 6: their homework and decide it's worth the risk because he's
• 52:13
  Speaker 6: so talented, then like, why should they stop the Arizona
• 52:16
  Speaker 6: Cardinals in twenty twenty seven from drafting the kid? If
• 52:19
  Speaker 6: that's it, But then it's on the Arizona Cardinals on and.
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: Off their boards every year. There are guys for various
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: reasons that are you know. And I understand what Fred's
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: point is about the gambling aspect, whether or not. So
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: this is a quarterback who wasn't playing in the game,
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: that was betting and supposedly has Christians so worried that
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: he was impacting the outcome of the game.
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: You know that too.
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: Right at Indiana he wasn't playing, really, he only played
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: at Cincinnati, yep.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: But he could be giving out information.
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: Of course he could, right, That's why you can't allow
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: him to play.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: But that is why. That's why he was right.
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: And and your thing is that if you found him
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: guilty of throwing a.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: Game, but then I would say that's worse.
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: But Evan, like you're thinking, like, if a team wants
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: to take the risk, why shouldn't you allow them to
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: I think there are some cases where if the evidence
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: is out there when it comes to gambling or like
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: the Ray Rice thing. I mean, that's why they started
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: the commissioners exempless, Yeah, so that the league would take
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: it out of the hands.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: Of the team.
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: Right, But that's what's happening right now. That's basically what
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: they just did, which is okay with me. Sure, that's
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: what total totally.
• 53:28
  Speaker 6: I'm just saying in twenty like Christian wants the kid
• 53:30
  Speaker 6: banned for life, Like in twenty twenty seven, I don't
• 53:32
  Speaker 6: say that when the draft comes around and he's in
• 53:35
  Speaker 6: the draft, then it's up to the Cleveland Browns and
• 53:38
  Speaker 6: the Arizona Cardinals and the New York Jets and the
• 53:40
  Speaker 6: New England Patriots and everybody else.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: When he's eligible, then it's the team's decisions.
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's all I'm saying.
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: Yep, Shane in New York City at the beginning of
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: today's podcast, I believe I could be wrong, but I
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: heard some New York nick slander. In New York, the
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: general feeling is still utter disbelief that the Knicks want
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: it Tompionship, and eleven days later, the news is still
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: centered around the Knicks. Personally, I wouldn't mind if this
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: lasted another fifty three years, but to watch this franchise
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: suffer for all twenty nine years of my life, I
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: think this is a warranted, celebrated fine. We said in
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: New York, it's still a big deal, but the rest of.
• 54:17
  Speaker 4: The country's moved on for a terrible period.
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: Soccer goes still a barrel soccer mile take.
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: Excluding yesterday's performance against the weaker opponent, Portugal is better
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: off without Cristiano Ronaldo than they are with him.
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: Wow, what do you think.
• 54:34
  Speaker 4: We all look at Alex not the first person to
• 54:37
  Speaker 4: have that opinion.
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: Really, you think he's holding them back.
• 54:40
  Speaker 8: I think it's a pretty common opinion right now.
• 54:42
  Speaker 4: I think they have better players.
• 54:43
  Speaker 7: He's forty one years old, they're very, very deep, and
• 54:47
  Speaker 7: he's the striker. I mean, I don't know what you
• 54:50
  Speaker 7: do though, because he's also Cristiano Ronaldo. He changed the
• 54:53
  Speaker 7: whole trajectory of your nation, Like we had Luis Figo
• 54:57
  Speaker 7: before him, but it wasn't Ronaldo. It's a place I
• 55:00
  Speaker 7: wouldn't want to be in making these substitution calls.
• 55:05
  Speaker 4: They had they had.
• 55:06
  Speaker 6: I don't think that he's holding them back because I
• 55:09
  Speaker 6: think they have better players. Like I think those are
• 55:11
  Speaker 6: two different things. Like, I don't think he's out there
• 55:13
  Speaker 6: sabotaging them that they're he's on the field. I think
• 55:16
  Speaker 6: that Portugal now has kind of outgrown him.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: I think they have they'd be better if he wasn't
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: on the team. Maybe, so he's holding.
• 55:25
  Speaker 4: Them back in that sense.
• 55:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think a lot of people are making that
• 55:28
  Speaker 7: judgment off of just their first game in the World
• 55:30
  Speaker 7: Cup though, And I.
• 55:31
  Speaker 8: Don't know, I don't think they were gelling.
• 55:32
  Speaker 7: Well, I don't think they were they were not really
• 55:35
  Speaker 7: moving the ball with any tempo or pace. And this
• 55:39
  Speaker 7: isn't going to mean anything to you, guys because you
• 55:40
  Speaker 7: didn't see the game, but like they just weren't playing
• 55:43
  Speaker 7: that well, and then they played really well yesterday, yes
• 55:45
  Speaker 7: against like a very bad opponent. But what if it
• 55:47
  Speaker 7: was just like kinks they were working out and like
• 55:51
  Speaker 7: organizational chemistry stuff, you know, right.
• 55:53
  Speaker 6: I think the issue that like the reason why, like
• 55:55
  Speaker 6: some people are saying, like to the holding him back thing,
• 55:58
  Speaker 6: there's some people are saying that he's like being selfish
• 56:01
  Speaker 6: on the field and like he's shooting and like hogging
• 56:05
  Speaker 6: the ball, so to speak, because he wants to shine,
• 56:08
  Speaker 6: you know, he wants to be the star of the
• 56:10
  Speaker 6: team sort of thing. So that's been the criticism of his.
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: His postgame interview clearly tells us that he's hearing all this.
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: Criticism and it bothers him. Yeah. I don't know if
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: you saw that.
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: I just think I saw that he said I'm back
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: when he scored his first goal. He I said something
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: right into the camera. Yeah, like he was very I'm back.
• 56:30
  Speaker 4: I just think it's something.
• 56:32
  Speaker 6: It's crazy to see the difference between how good Messi
• 56:36
  Speaker 6: is playing and is still playing versus Ronaldo, Like I
• 56:40
  Speaker 6: think Messi has just been unbelievable.
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: Messie's incredible. He's something else well from Cranston. Looking forward
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: to some football soon with training camp only a little
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: more than a month away. But I've been speaking in
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: the barbershop about how the defense has potential to be loaded.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: I'm extremely excited about Age Brown and Gillian being signed. However,
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: I feel like we are forgetting how electric our defense is.
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: With Gonzo and Davis taking away number one options and
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: a ballhawk like Bayered and a developing Woodson, an underrated
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: linebacker corps with Splaine and Christian Ellis as well as
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: Williams and Barmore in the middle, I truly believe they
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: could take the team to a new level to provide
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: the offense with more opportunities barring catastrophic injury. I have
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: a hard time seeing us not making the playoff push.
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: Let me know your thoughts.
• 57:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think I feel similar with the
• 57:34
  Speaker 5: three corner Nickel like we just talked about. But you know,
• 57:36
  Speaker 5: after that, it's the questions about the depth and will
• 57:39
  Speaker 5: opponents be able to get them out of their game?
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: And he said the last part to me.
• 57:42
  Speaker 5: He's just injuries, because it's just it's a very good
• 57:44
  Speaker 5: defense at the top. You feel great, and I hate
• 57:46
  Speaker 5: to be like, yeah, but you know, but I think
• 57:48
  Speaker 5: we're still looking to build the depth up behind those
• 57:51
  Speaker 5: guys so that you know, you know em and Worry
• 57:53
  Speaker 5: came in last year to the Seahawks and kind of
• 57:55
  Speaker 5: changed their defense as that extra piece, you know, like
• 57:58
  Speaker 5: that next guy up, and it gave them a lot
• 58:01
  Speaker 5: of flexibility. And if I do have one concern about
• 58:04
  Speaker 5: the defense, it's just do they have that flexibility week
• 58:07
  Speaker 5: in week out to play the way that they're.
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: Gonna need to versus different types of opponents, you know.
• 58:11
  Speaker 5: And I think Evan's point about the rise of the
• 58:13
  Speaker 5: three tight ends and that's kind of in vogue right now.
• 58:15
  Speaker 5: And you know, just when you look at the Patriots roster,
• 58:18
  Speaker 5: it's just when you think from a chess match, like, so,
• 58:20
  Speaker 5: what's your plan against you know, when week one against.
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: Seattle, you know, like they're gonna have to deal with
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: that stuff.
• 58:25
  Speaker 6: I just wonder too, like they they got so aggressive
• 58:28
  Speaker 6: in the playoffs, and was that a we can do
• 58:31
  Speaker 6: this over a three or four game span. Can you
• 58:33
  Speaker 6: do that over seventeen. Like, can you be a team
• 58:36
  Speaker 6: that's playing over forty percent of your downs in man coverage,
• 58:40
  Speaker 6: a forty plus percent blitz rate, and you're just six
• 58:44
  Speaker 6: guys in the US and we're trusted the back you know,
• 58:48
  Speaker 6: Christian Zales and Carlon Davis and Marcus Jones to just
• 58:51
  Speaker 6: cover their guys.
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: You have blizzards, you know.
• 58:54
  Speaker 6: Like that was how they became dominant in the playoffs.
• 58:57
  Speaker 6: Was they turned up like that was like, yeah, they
• 59:01
  Speaker 6: turned up the gas. You know, they attacked literally and
• 59:04
  Speaker 6: so is that I think during the regular season they
• 59:07
  Speaker 6: weren't quite as dominant because they were playing more of
• 59:11
  Speaker 6: a safer brand of defense where it was we Gate
• 59:14
  Speaker 6: in Tennessee and we're not going to put you know,
• 59:17
  Speaker 6: cam Ward a hundred times because that why would we
• 59:19
  Speaker 6: you know, we're gonna win this game.
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: Dookie Bell is from Scotland, one of our friends from Scotland.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: No Scotland, no party.
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: He says, there's a myth about grass pitches not being
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: multi uses over here in Scotland. Our major stadiums all
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: have grass pitches and they all stage concerts, box boxing.
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: For an example, I'm gonna watch Metallica tomorrow at Hampden Park,
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: home of the Scotland national team, with no problems. Rubber
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: matting covers the grass and the pitch is completely protected
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: and no damage is done. This happens all over Europe.
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: Keep up the good work. So maybe maybe we're wrong
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: about that.
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: Maybe you can do it. I don't know, that's always
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: the justification.
• 59:58
  Speaker 4: I don't know. Maybe maybe we are like us.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 7: Feel like a cop out though, like artists still do Europe.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 7: It's not like musicians don't go do big European tours.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 5: I just remember what that turf was like before they
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 5: replaced it that lost to the Jets in two thousand
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 5: and six, of how crappy the field looked and how
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 5: you know, it's like fields don't look like that anymore,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 5: you know, Like I don't know, it's it's weird too
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 5: because in my town it's a huge debate about wanting
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 5: to put turf in.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: They have a grass field that's terrible.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: I totally, I totally would say high schools, if they can,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: should definitely go to turf.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we played on turf that's exactly the same as this.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: Turf and you and that's Needham Turf has been there
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: for twenty ish, I mean not the date you have.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe ten years fifteen. But you know, it's just
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 5: it's interesting to be on that side of it.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 3: I understand why high schools need to say yeah, and
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 3: the cities and towns need to save the money on
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: maintenance because it's it's a big expense, you know. Any
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 3: my kids probably played a fewer than five games in
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 3: their high school careers on grass. Yeah, and every one
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 3: of them was a bleep show. Yeah, yeah, a horrific.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 7: Well, they'll only put in turf like in the last
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 7: couple of years. But I remember growing up it was
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 7: right near a swamp kind of behind behind the high school.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 7: It's like marshy and if it would rain a lot,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 7: there would be puddles on the soccer field. But it
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 7: was an advantage because, like we knew how to contain
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 7: a forward to the sideline where.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: The puddles were the dead spots.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 7: You just watch your girl tribble the ball into the
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 7: puddle and just wait and just watch and take it.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 8: And it was like.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 6: They turned the air conditioning off to make sure they
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 6: didn't have any cold water and hot water.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 4: In the showers.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: Tell you, one of the worst experiences I've had at
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: a high school stadium, you know, watching my kid was
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: up in Burlington, and they mowed the lawn and they
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: put these huge mounds of wet grass under the stands,
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: so it was just filled with mosquitoes. Oh like, and
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: like you sit in the stands, like where are they
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: coming from? And you look underneath these huge amounts in
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: the mosquitos everywhere everywhere.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 8: You're planning attack, bad planning.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: Simon and Dublin.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: I wanted to get your thoughts on NFL press boxes
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: being behind glass and insulated from the sound of the crowd.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: Here in Europe, our press boxes are largely outdoors, so
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: you get to.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: Because you're all smoking. You can't put it indoors.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: I'm not kidding either, so you get the experience, the
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: full atmosphere. And I have heard a lot of European
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: journalists who are covering the World Cup complaining about feeling
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: separate from the action. I've not been to get Gillette,
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: but from listening to you guys, I know it has
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: an indoor press box. So I wanted to hear what
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: you think of watching Patriots game this way and whether
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: you would prefer to sit outside and take in the
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: atmosphere and ps I'm loving Paul's growing affection for soccer
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: and the World Cup.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: Don't deny it. Paul and Fred's suggestion.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: On Thursday of negative points for draw, only to be
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: immediately shot down by Alex genuinely had me in tears.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: That was good.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: So the Gellette Stadium one actually has little one of both.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: Like the red level, you can actually open the windows
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: right and outside if you want.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: I do hear what he's saying, though, because there are
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: a lot of indoor stadiums that don't have glass and
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: like for example Indie and Minnesota and Minnesota where Vegan,
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: you are part of it, and it is it is
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: nice to you know here in uh you know all
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: that stuff without the glass installation. However, you know there's
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: press box announcements that we rely on and you can't
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: hear it, and you can't hear those, so there's a
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: trade off.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 6: I would say that it's the weather like, yeah, but
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 6: it's an indoor stadium, then open air press box definitely
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 6: here you want in January, I do not want to
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 6: be in an open, open.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 7: Air press We cracked the window for the Chargers game
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 7: and the Houston game on the red level because it
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 7: was so electric. We want it. I was like, I
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 7: kind of want to hear it out there. It's awesome.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 7: And we cracked it and just kind of.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 5: Dealt with the gust of Yeah, I kind of missed
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 5: the atmosphere, you know, and we sit I know, yeah,
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 5: we're on opposite being in.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 7: The warmth cracked. You can hear it, but I'm still
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 7: sitting there in comfort, eating my clam chowder.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 6: You no, I'm not going to be cold. So I
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 6: enjoy my climate. I enjoy my climate controlled environment when
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 6: it when it suits me, whether it's really hot or
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 6: it's really cold, I want no part of it. But
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 6: when we go into the domes and they're open air,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 6: it's pretty cool.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: It is cool.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 6: When we were in UH in Frankfurt it was open air.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 6: London was open air too, So I guess that the
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 6: stadiums that we have been to overseas have been open air.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 3: But I've been to a lot of open airs.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: I don't like.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, are you covering the game or are you
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 3: there as a fan?
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: Right? Those are those are your choices, right?
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 3: If the atmosphere, if the atmosphere is important to you,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 3: put your put your ticket in the sands.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: We don't think the atmosphere is important.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 3: You can tell to a to a like to a writer,
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 3: you can't tell when when the crowd is excited, but
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: you can.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: Tell when it's raucus.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 5: I have trouble with that, really, I don't. I can't
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 5: really tell that. I can't tell the difference really between
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 5: I mean I have much of the Monday night game
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 5: against the Giants, uh with the with that was that
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 5: the Rivalries game last year.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 5: The game and that was there was one that I
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 5: was like, this place hasn't been like this like and
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 5: that was maybe a little more preaking. But generally, I
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 5: feel like in the press box you're just kind of
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 5: it's neutral.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 4: I mean you feel it.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: Down, you can feel a little bit.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 5: I couldn't go through any of those games and be
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 5: like that was a good atmosphere that wasn't like it
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 5: all feels the same to me.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 6: Nothing drives me crazier that grade the atmosphere. It really
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 6: drives me nuts.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: But when it comes to smoking, I'm not kidding. When
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: we're in Frankfurt for the game, I mean we're in
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: the outdoor press bot. I was covered, but we're outdoor
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: press and like the smoke was all over everyone.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: Just in the crowd, not even because.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: You're literally like I almost was that as the press boss.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: And here Paul's a fan. That's how close I was
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: to the fans. And they're like, hey, can we see
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: your your you know, your sheets? Like I gave him
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: my uh he autographed it and they wanted my flip
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: card I said. I just said, yeah, you can have it.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: I just gave it to him. But everyone's smoking. Everyone's smoking.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: It was nobody in the press box still, just like
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: with one they used to all in the old Oakland Stadium.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: We're playing the Raiders and uh it was a really cold,
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: windy day and this thud had the window open in
• 1:06:41

• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: takeaways here? Is we kind of wrap up the off
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: season and get ready to look at training camp.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Mike, you and I talked after Wednesday's walkthrough and
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 3: just about the comfort, know, just the visible comfort level
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 3: that you can see on Drake May and I think
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 3: it permeates the offense. And you know, we talked about
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 3: Brown just throw one sort of maybe thing that I'm
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 3: looking to see a little bit more of a cautionary
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 3: flag is I don't think it's been as impressive when
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 3: Romeo Dobbs has been you know, involved, not pushing any
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 3: you know, bat signals up or anything, any warning signs.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 3: But aj Brown looks effortless and they seem like they're
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 3: on the same page right away.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: I think it's still a work in progress with Dobbs, Yeah,
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: I would say too.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 6: Down the field, like Romeo, Dobbs has caught a few
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 6: under route slants things over the middle of the field.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 6: But you hope that the explosive plays are coming a
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 6: little bit more once they get out into the field.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 6: Now they work so much in the red zone that
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 6: you don't really see We saw maybe a flash of
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 6: ye corner.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, don't know. Yeah, depending on how to report you
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: were rooting for. I think he was out of bounds.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: I was right there. I think he was out of bound.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I think I actually thought he was in
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 4: Mike believe see controversial.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 6: I think that The number one thing that I come
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 6: up with, though, is just it feels like we're back
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 6: to having a lot of first world problems and not
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 6: as many do. They have twenty two NFL players to
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 6: start this season like we were a couple of years ago.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 6: Where now I feel myself talking about depth in a
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 6: lot of different places running back, tight end, linebacker, corner, safety,
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 6: and not so much about, you know, the frontline guys,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 6: and I think that that's a sign of a good team.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 6: And we're not talking about a daily referendum on the quarterback.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: Is he the guy?
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 4: Is he not the guy?
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 6: Like that's put to bed. The number one receiver thing
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 6: is put to bed. The offensive line seems like it's
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 6: coming together a little bit, and they have pieces now
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 6: and some depth even on the offensive line with Lomu
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 6: being sort of an extra guy for this year. So overall,
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 6: I just feel like we're we're talking about back end
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 6: of the roster except one position, which is your favorite, Mike,
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 6: the edge rush. I was just about to get into it.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 6: That's the one hole that I feel as though in
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 6: January or even February, when we're talking about why they
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 6: didn't hoist the Lombardi at the end of the season,
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 6: is it Do they have enough juice off the edge
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 6: in the pass rush. But other than that, I like
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 6: all the other, uh, you know, small sea concerns are
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 6: just basically.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, well, yeah, you're a good team.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 10: Now.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 5: I thought it was interesting today Mike rabel before asked
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 5: specifically about the edge position, and he said, they like
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 5: what they have right now it's without Harold Landry out there,
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 5: without Gabe Acis learned a little bit more about Acus.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 5: I guess we'll see what happens when we get to
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 5: training camp, but I do think that is the one position.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: Otherwise, you look across.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 5: The roster right now, Paul, if their top line guys
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 5: are ready to go, this looks like a team that
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 5: that's ready to get back into it and compete for
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 5: the division.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I like the way Evan put it too.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 3: It's you know, at this time last year, we're wondering
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 3: how all the pieces were going to fit together. Now
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 3: I think you have an idea that Mike Rabel and
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 3: his staff understand how to put it all together. Now
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 3: it's a matter of keeping everybody healthy. And I believe
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 3: that might have been the end of you know, this
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 3: final practice. All of a sudden, there's a little bit
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 3: of a pile up and Drake may N's up on
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 3: the ground. I think Mike Rabel at that point had
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 3: seen enough and the whistle called everybody up, and you know,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 3: none none for the worse for wear.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: But that would be my lone concern right now.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 3: I think they have starting caliber players at every spot,
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 3: which is what I would have said last year, and
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 3: I would have been really concerned about the depth last
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 3: year never really came to fruition. Same thing holds true now.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 3: A lot of small sea, like Evan said, small sea concerns.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well see where they're tested this year, and they
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 5: had great injury luck last year. See if that continues
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 5: into this season. Well that's going to wrap it up
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 5: for mini camp at least until training camp. Course will
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 5: be back then and check out the full schedule on
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 5: Patriots dot com. We've got a joint practice against the Colts.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 5: We've got two joint practices against the Eagles. It's a
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 5: great take to get down here. Obviously a lot of
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 5: talent on this Patriots team, slowly built.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: And now great moments in history. How are we going
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: to do this? Who's going to go first? Well?
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 3: I have it, Mike alex Evan, Paul Fred, Mike alex Evan.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: How's that? What's clockwise? Mike?
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 8: Go the way of a clock?

• 1:14:05

• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: Bill in Norfolk, Virginia writes in one off season suggestion
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: I would have for you p U, for PU is
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: to have one scheduled off season day where we talk
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: nothing but conspiracy topics. With that being said, just checking
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: in to see if qlex has seen Age of Disclosure.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 8: God, I take so much offense to that.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: Disclosure what's that about?
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 8: M pretty much everything? I think we were talking to
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 8: you on that one.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: Like that one day? Is that the Spielberg one? Yep, Yeah,
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: I thought it was Disclosure Day. It's called yeah, right,
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: So I didn't know this was the same thing. Is
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: there another one called Age of Disclosure? Let's find out
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: because I know Disclosure Day? Yeah, you taught me that. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen it yet.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 8: That's what I told you.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 7: They're going to desensitize us and then tell us about
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 7: aliens with this movie.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 6: I get myself in trouble with conspiracy theories. I don't know,
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 6: it's not not my lane.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a documentary, the Age of Disclosure. The documentary
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah about UFOs. Oh, so that's definitely different. It's totally different. Yeah,
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: it's not the film Disclosure Day you saw a UFO
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: called Disclosure.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 6: I wasn't alone, so my friends could vouch. We're all together, Okay,
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 6: saw it on the lake up in New Hampshire.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 8: How did you not bring this up like three weeks ago?
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 4: I don't know. Most people are like, no, you didn't.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 4: What does it look like like a UFO song?
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 10: I know?
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: But did you get talk about it? I was doing
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: years ago.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 4: We were we know, we were too young for that.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 6: We were out on a friend of mine is going
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 6: to sound very pretentious, his houseboat, right, and it was
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 6: we were sleeping over outside on the boat because we
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 6: thought it'd be fun to do that. So we were
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 6: we were out on the boat and on the lake
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 6: and there was just an unidentified object that was flying over.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 6: And this was way before low altitude or was a
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 6: low altitude and this was like way before drones, like
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 6: this was you know, probably I don't know, two thousand
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 6: and six or something like that, Like this is way
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 6: before all that kind of stuff. And it wasn't a plane.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 6: It would wasn't a blimp or anything like that. We
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 6: couldn't identify it.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: Nobody to see if there were any other reports in
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: the area that night.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 4: I mean, this was like, like, what was that going
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 4: to check?
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 6: Ohe because the police are going to tell me the truth?
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: Uh Fred can't trust the government exactly.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 6: This is why didn't bring it up. You guys laugh, Yeah,
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 6: they I know. It was like it was shaped like
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 6: literally like a like a giant frisbee. I'm dead serious.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 6: And then now I don't think it was Then what
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 6: do you think it was?
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 19: Brady with a flashlight? Probably probably it was pretty big.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 19: I don't know how big, like it like a size
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 19: of the mothership, the size of like a like a
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 19: small airplane. But it wasn't an airplane.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay?
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 8: Did it move quickly?
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: This was during the night at night?
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: And where were you Buys Air Force Base or anything
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: like that?
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 4: I don't think so. I forget which lake it was.
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 4: It wasn't Winnipesaki.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 6: I know that in that area, uh ish, I mean
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 6: maybe about an hour and a half from actually went
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 6: to after.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: All, right, are jacket and aubre message to Evan from
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: a veteran of many extremely cold days in Michigan.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: There is no bad weather. There is only bad clothing.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 6: No, I mean, we grew up here, like I went
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 6: to school Ithaca and grew up in New England. You're cold,
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 6: just admit it. It's okay.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 4: It gets cold. Everybody gets it.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: Sounds like one of those guys just with shorts. I'm
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: not cold. State of mind always.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: Sully, the diehard Patriots fan, wanted to take a moment
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: to acknowledge Alex in the contribution she makes to the show.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: She is always a breath of fresh air and the
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: rudder that keeps the ship right on the show. The
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: collective impact of her presence really cannot be underestimated or understated.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: On a completely separate and unrelated topic, Alex, Yes.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: You got it, Paul, She's not want to assume that's what.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 7: I was gonna say. This is dramatic, but I appreciate it.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 7: But now I understand why it was so dramatic.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he meant it.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 4: Still a compliment.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we get this question a lot.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: This is from Jordan.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: I Uh, my wife and I are flying up from
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: Tampa to watch the Patriots destroy the Jets.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 11: Uh.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: It will be my wife's first trip to New England.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: While we're there, it's outside of the Patriots game, what
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: should I take her to see that Taurus might not
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: know of. I know fall is beautiful up there. I
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: know we want to explore Boston in the Cape. But
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: any recommendations would be awesome. So you know, like we
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: need more info. How long are you going to be here,
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: where you're staying? You know that whole thing.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe go up to New Hampshire. Can Yeah, it depends.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: Jets game maybe three, four, week six, so that's probably
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: second week at the height of the's probably pretty good.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 7: You're probably time in the Foliage perfect. Maybe they October
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 7: home games the US a couple of years have been
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 7: like a big existence for me.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you want to like ride up to
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: the White Mountains in New Hampshire, that's not that far.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: It's like a couple hours. You can hike mountain and
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: ad knock. Yeah, that's that's really up there. You could
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: do Blue Hill right here. That's shorter, small.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: You know, if you do go down the Cape, even
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 2: though you can't go to the beach, you can still
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: go on the beach and walk the beach and restaurants
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: are still open and there won't be a lot of tourists,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: so it'll be easy to get around.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: So that's cool. Amount of apple picking. Yeah, you know,
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: that's a ton of I mean, just like any place,
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: there's a ton of things to do.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 6: If you hit the if you hit the beaches on
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 6: like a nice fall day and there's not a ton
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 6: of people and you can just kind of walk the
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 6: beach and stuff, it's actually very pleasant.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 6: It's very nice. You're not going into water or anything,
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 6: but like it's not freezing yet. It's actually very nice.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: It keeps nice.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 5: It's probably if you haven't been to Cape Cod and
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 5: you just want to go and check it out without
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 5: all the crowds. October might be a good time to
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 5: get a layer of the land.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 7: Newport to Newport is so buzzing in the summer, but
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 7: there's so much to do that I think the fall
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 7: you get to really appreciate it.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 6: We did that once on the bye week. We went
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 6: we went to Newport for the weekend on the bye week.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: Aport a little bit.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we we I went down there after my prom.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 5: That was like we all went down to Newport for
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 5: the day. That was, but only a couple of times.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's fine.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: It's a cool place for kids to go and and
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: wear sunglasses. We went to I really like.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 6: Uh, if you're into that sort of thing, we did
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 6: the Mansions. The Mansions are the best, exactly.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 4: We did the driving tour because we had the dog
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 4: with us and it was actually pretty cool.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah it was. It was fun listen to the tour
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: and everything.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it was interesting.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 8: Youth to a tour of the Vanderbilt.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we did that one.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 4: If you're into a combination of like history and cool houses, yeah,
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 4: it hits.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 7: Take her to what's that restaurant? They just had a
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 7: fire on.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: The cliff Walk. It's not actually on fire now, no.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 8: Not anymore.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 7: Oh, thank god they put it out. Anyways, right on
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 7: the cliff Walk there's a sick inn in restaurant. It's
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 7: like a five star in.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: Baseball stadium down there. Great place place my first career.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 3: Sal Regina, Salvy Regina, my brother in law went there.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 8: Good Night life.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 7: There's a lot going on the Newport Yep.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: Very cool.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: Let's see Barton Poland. Uh, Paul's mind is interesting.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: Uh the least.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: Last Thursday, the show was going on simultaneously as the
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 2: Czech Republic was playing South Africa. Paul was absolutely glued
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 2: to the TV, and concluded by saying, if more games
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 2: had so many goalscoring opportunities, I'd watch more, which is
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: very funny because the game was universally talked about as
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 2: one of the most boring games of the tournament. Funny
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: how a non football slash soccer fan and and Paul
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 2: finds a game of a sport that he usually finds
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: boring entertaining, while fans of the sport universally found the
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 2: game boring generally interested in why it happened.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, sure, he's right. I'm not going to argue
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 3: we tease you.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 7: For this on the show because I remember I remember
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 7: and being like Paul, you're pooh pooing soccer. Look how
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 7: locked in you are. You're not paying attention to that
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 7: everything and then.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 8: Looting like a score.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 3: Also, I I do have like you know, Evan always
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 3: talks about superpowers, you know, for for football players. My
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 3: superpower is to be able to do like three things
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 3: while we're doing the show, Like you guys make fun
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 3: of me every week for watching Red Zone and not
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 3: missing a play and not taking it, not missing an
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 3: opportunity to make fun of Fred about some random thing. Right,
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 3: So I was watching the game as we were doing
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 3: the show, and every time I looked up, it seemed
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 3: like somebody had a really good chance to score. Now,
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to argue with some who watches the
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 3: World Cup intently and say, no, you're wrong. That was
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 3: a really good game. If you tell me it was
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 3: a bad one, then I've watched about somewhere between eight
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 3: or ten other games and haven't seen nearly the amount
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 3: of scoring chances I did in that one, unless it
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 3: was like Portugal yesterday had. Like, it's not interesting to
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 3: me that one team is so much better than the
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 3: other that the team can't Like I watched Spain beat
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 3: somebody for nothing, sorry for nil, thank you, and the
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 3: other team literally couldn't get the ball out of the
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 3: out of the box. That they were just so overmatched
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 3: that to me is not entertaining.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 2: But it's like if I guess if I was watching
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: tennis and it was a really close match, but it
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: was close because both players were making a ton of mistakes.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's why I would imagine that, and that's
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 3: why I wouldn't argue with the guy who obviously knows
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 3: a lot more about it than I were.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 4: We should say for nothing. Another thing that I've.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 2: Well that like, if all of a sudden, like people
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 2: in England talking about baseball, should they change all the
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 2: terms of the baseball game just because they're from England.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: No, I think they should keep the terms of the
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: game as it is.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 4: I think it makes you sound like such a much.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 2: I think it makes I think it makes you feel
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 2: it makes you sound arrogant. So all of a sudden,
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 2: we talk about American baseball, but I'm going to change the.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: Terms of the game.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 18: No, but not.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 6: But we're you're just like doing what's natural to your vocabulary,
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 6: but it isn't natural.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: So I'm sport has its own lexicons.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 6: Okay, but it's culture, Like you're just stealing the soccer culture.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 6: Like we need to have our own soccer culture.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 3: Know, do we?
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 4: We need like we need to have our own traditions,
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 4: our own culture with this sport.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: Like you know, I saw a lot of things.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: So so let me So, if they start playing American football,
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: should they start not saying it's a tackle?
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: They should say it's.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 6: Not a Whatever whatever is naturally comes to them is
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 6: what they should say. I assume with rugby, I think
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 6: it is tackling, So I think that they would probably
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 6: say tackling, you're talking.
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 2: About rugby Imerican football.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 6: I know, but it's a similar sports. So if they
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 6: are people tackling and rugby and they call it.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: Being disingenuous, tackles in soccer.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 6: Too, I feel like we like when I hear somebody
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 6: tried to like speak it the lingo of soccer, and
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 6: I'm talking about people that like get paid to talk
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 6: about this sport.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 2: I think that's kind of arrogant, Like it's, you know,
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 2: you've been playing the sport longer, but now that we're
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: playing it, we're going to change what we have.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 7: I'm not That's not what I'm saying Americans.
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 6: I'm I'm saying that we should say what's natural to
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 6: us and not like try to be them and try
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 6: to copy them.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: It's not a.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: Copying, it's this is the sport and these are the
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: terms of the sport.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 13: I don't know, Like Evan, this makes you sound more
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 13: like a Wiener than saying one nil.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 6: No, it doesn't like not like I said, if we said,
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 6: like the Red Sox lost three to nothing, We're not
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 6: going to start talking saying the Red Sox lost three
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 6: nil because we don't.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: Say that because we're talking about baseball.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 4: No, it's because we're taught, we're American and we don't
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 4: say knew.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 3: What would they say in England if the Red Sox
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 3: lost three to nothing threel, they would say three nil.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 6: I don't know, but that because that is he's saying that,
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 6: because that's there, that's their lingo.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 2: But you're taking certain things. But I'm talking about like
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 2: the parts of the game that are unique to the game.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 13: You know.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 2: Sure, I'm not saying that we should like if they
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 2: started calling it a baseball club instead of a bat.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying that.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 6: I'm saying like, there's certain like there's a lingo, there's
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 6: like a certain language, a lingo that's very unique to
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 6: like Europe and how they talk about the game, especially England.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: But isn't there a lingo that's unique to each sport? Yeah?
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 6: I just feel as though question so would I think
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 6: like we're not like really understanding MLS.
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 7: In the MLS, if there is a draw or a tie,
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 7: or a team or nothing, how do how does an
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 7: American announcer in the MLS do they also say.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: Nothing four nil?
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 8: I think they would say four.
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 7: Nil as an American broadcaster, that's the question I have.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 4: Yes, I think that's what I'm saying.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 3: Brad would say four nil.
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 4: I would also.
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 6: Just say nothing, just say like you're do like that's
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 6: for the American audience, like it's just we're just kind
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 6: of stealing their their culture.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: It's not. It's not stealing the culture, it's using.
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 8: It depends to saying it.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 7: I think if it's a guy that you know that's
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 7: pretentious and all of a sudden, his new personality is
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 7: soccer to be different and try to be like, oh
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 7: I knew that band when they just had a sing like,
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 7: you know, before they're single.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 8: How people do that?
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 7: If it's someone like that, that's annoying as hell. And
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 7: I agree, it's like the people that like, maybe you're
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 7: Italian six generations ago and you say Muzzael like you're
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 7: speaking totally perfect like American dialect English, but you're talking
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 7: about a recipe and you say and then you add
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 7: some like that's so.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 8: Cringe to me.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, well that's forced. Yeah, that's what this is.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 8: That's how some people are.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 3: Like you know, when you when you talk about like
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 3: I don't like your example but I understand what careful,
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 3: Like do you more than most of the things in
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 3: Italian that I say, or just because that's how that
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 3: word was introduced to me by my Like I wouldn't
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 3: say spaghetti, I would not say spaghett I would say spaghetti.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 8: Like I love giata.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 6: But how videos Like there's a lot of conversations right
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 6: now going on about like chants at games, like these
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 6: other countries have like unique chants that are like you know,
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 6: obviously in their language if it's not English, but like
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 6: they have chances that they do during the games, and
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 6: like we just like try to chant in the same way,
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 6: like we just tried. American soccer fans just kind of
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 6: like create American chants that sound like the British ones.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 4: But we're just because it's soccer.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 2: We have to make it so if we have a mask,
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 2: so we if we started playing baseball in England and
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: they did the wave, you would be against that.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 4: I think they do the wave there too, and certain
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 4: I don't.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: I'm just using you know what I'm saying. No, I don't.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 2: This is why I can't understand what if they if
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 2: they're trying to adopt the sport like we love baseball.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: Now, just make it your own, Like this is like that,
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: Why why do they have to make their own?
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 4: Why can't they just get it and it's natural to you?
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: Why can't jump on the bandwagon?
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 6: And because you just use the word bandwagon, like just
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 6: make it your own, Like, I don't understand why we
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 6: have to, like like it's not natural to us.
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 4: So we sound like we're just copying their culture and
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 4: taking it from them.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 7: We should adopt our chance from the SEC. I saw
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 7: someone make a good point about this, but change the
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 7: mascots to like a bald eagle, you know, take the
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 7: SEC chance and just adopt them into soccer.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 4: I heard a lot of that college football that sort
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 4: of like I like I had to.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: Stay like if you want to call it a field
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: instead of a pitch.
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, like people that like, you're an American, you you're
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 6: born in America, You're an American soccer fan. And then
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 6: all of a sudden we have to hear, oh, they
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 6: were on the pitch today, like you're not from Britain, dude, like.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: That I understanding that.
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 2: I understand, because but what but when you talk about
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: like the elements of the game and stuff like that, why.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: Not just keep it what it is.
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 6: Why do you I'm not I'm not, but I'm not
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 6: that those aren't the things that I'm talking about. What
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 6: I'm talking about is field and pitch or tie in
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 6: and draw or zero and nil, like those are their terms.
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 2: So like in tennis, like should I not say forty love?
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 2: Should we say zero?
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: Should we call it practice camp and not training camp? Now?
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: Should we write you know? Yeah, like you're I kind
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: of see both sides. Let's go back to let's go
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: back to baseball with with with the you know London,
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: like would they call them goals and not runs? Yeah?
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: Like I.
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 3: But I agree, But these are terms that are inherent
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 3: in the sport. And if I don't know enough about
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 3: soccer to know like nil, pitch and all these things
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 3: those sports that like, is that like universal like everywhere
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 3: else in the world, that's.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 10: What it is.
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: No, because that's English in English, so.
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 3: It's all just English. But it's not like what you
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 3: would say soccer, no, because.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: Like in Morocco, they're not saying nil.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, they're saying they're whatever, they're they're saying whatever they're
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 2: they're they're language, yes.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 3: But nil, they're saying nil in that language, saying zero
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 3: in that languge yeah, okay, yeah, okay, I just nothing.
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 6: I just find it very zer odd that we just
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 6: I'm not talking about like calling a tackle a tackle
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 6: or calling off side offside. I'm talking about the lingo,
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 6: like when you talk about the game.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 2: Your line of thinking also goes into and it actually
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 2: the Revolutionist kind of adopted it, where a lot of
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 2: these teams that came into MLS thought we have to
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 2: have the name of our team has to be kind
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 2: of have that English f C inter and all this stuff,
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 2: and the Revolutions publicly said and owned it and said, no,
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 2: no Inter, no f C.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: We're the New England Revolution. That's our name. We're not
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: gonna like which was a really good name. Y yeah, yeah,
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: that was a good and.
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 2: We're not going to buy you, you know, f C
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 2: just because that's what they're doing.
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 4: Well that's where that's those are my points.
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 6: My point is not reinventing the sport and calling them
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 6: runs instead of goals. My point is is like we
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 6: speak like a lingo of soccer and that we just
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 6: copy from the Brits and we just like all of
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 6: a sudden, if you're a soccer fan. Instead of just
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 6: saying they tied, we have to now say they drew.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: I would say that's less soccer than it is. Just England.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: That's what they say for zero is nil in sports,
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: not just soccer. Do you think so?
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 4: Do you think that they say that, like what my
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 4: phone number is? You know, zero and they say nil.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 2: They call the field to pitch for rugby, they call
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 2: it that for soccer, they call it that for cricket, you.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: Know, so like it's that's their word for field.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 6: It's not a soccer thing, okay, But in America our
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 6: word for field to field, and that's.
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 1: Different, So call it different.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about the soccer specificity. But I agree with
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 2: you there you can go overboard trying to copy that.
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 2: I get that, we got there it okay, but I stopped.
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 2: But I draw the line at trying to change the
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 2: actual lexicon of just because you know we're here and
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 2: we want to have our own brand is soccer?
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 1: Why why not?
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 6: Just I'm talking about the cultural aspects. You know, we
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 6: call it, we say about we we we call it nil.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 6: You know that we say nil because we're from Britain
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 6: and we say nil. We're not from Britain, right, most
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 6: of us aren't, so we call it our nil is zero,
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 6: so just say zero. That's it nothing. So don't say
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 6: the pitch in this country. It's not a pitch like
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 6: that though.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: Practice camp forget training camp, practice camp, thank you? Practice
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: camp Well, that was one thing.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 2: Like a lot of these teams that are building these
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 2: new facilities like we did for the you know, training,
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 2: they're calling them training centers.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: That's a new thing. Practice center too.
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 7: Well, you're not just practicing, it's also training to the
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 7: trainer right now, So.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 2: That's to me, that's a relatively new thing for football
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 2: to call them training center.
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 1: And they call the shoes trainers too, right, Like, yeah,
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: that's true.
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 4: You know, that's like training and training is a good one.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 7: That's Australian sneakers, tennis shoes, like every sneaker.
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: Everything, everything.
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 8: I feel like not a lot of people say sneakers.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: What do you call sneak America? I totally agree with this, sneakers.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 3: I don't think a lot of people call them sneakers anymore.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 3: And that's all that I ever called them, growing I do.
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 8: I think I still we're all from the Northeast.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I call them snakes sneaks.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 2: I would imagine the origin of that is because they
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 2: were soft, padded, and you could sneak up on people, right,
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: Brilliant, just like the Aliens.
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 3: Training original sneakers urge of the words red courage in twenty.
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 2: Six you could sneak up on people, Sean Wright, Sandy says.
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 1: Eric Scalavino would say, no, boo boom, Eric comes up again,
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 1: we were just talking about hate. Friend is kind of right, Oh,
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: in made total sense.
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 7: The term sneaker originates from the verbs sneak and the
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 7: suffix e r. It was coined because the shoes flexible,
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 7: rubber soul allowed the wearer to walk silently or sneak around.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 5: There you go, well, maybe it's a California think everything's
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 5: tennis shoes everything, Like she got to get like, our
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 5: kids don't play tennis.
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about?
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 12: You know?
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 7: Just feel like it's definitely regional because I have a
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 7: friend from Utah that also calls them.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 3: And I've never I've never called them tennis shoes or
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 3: kicks kicks, but sneakers for the most part.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, Dan and Virginia and Michigan. It might be
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: just me.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 2: But when Alex was describing the kind of poser who
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 2: shouldn't use the term like Mozzarell, her descriptions sounded a
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 2: lot like Eric Scalabrino.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 3: Except for she She was like digging daggers right through
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 3: my heart as she was looking at me with a
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 3: condescending look on her face.
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 2: Patrick Ottawa, No, Patrick, and Ottawa says, I understand exactly
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 2: what Evan is saying. I hate when English speaking people
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 2: use French words to describe things because it sounds cool.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: We say purple, not mouave. You are not French.
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 5: I love it.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: I love his email.
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't like his example, right is like colors.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 8: This is now color theory.
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 6: I think of the training one because I did, you know,
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 6: I followed some people that are covering the US team
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 6: like a beat, and so I've been following whether or
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 6: not Christian Polis has been at practice.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 4: Instead of at practice, it's at training.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: Right, and writers write it that way too. You were
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: you were I know who you are.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 4: You were an American person.
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 6: You know, we tell you that usually covers American sports,
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 6: and you're telling your tweeting Christian Polistic is not at
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 6: US training today.
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: Just call it practice.
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 7: You know what, Though some fan bases get really like
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 7: like some hockey fans are very particular.
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 8: Like when I worked at Nason, we had to cover.
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 7: Nascar sometimes, and the NASCAR fans were very particular about
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 7: how you described certain aspects of the sport, like you
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 7: had to know the jargon and the lingo or else.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 8: They tried to roast you on Twitter.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: So I like you people who called vacations holidays. I
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: was on holidays, might as well go start calling them.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: But people really do that outside.
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 3: I'm talking about here financed finance, finances and stuff.
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 5: Finance b that was I think I said the Adidas
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 5: everyone at Rebuck when I entered that everyone calling a
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 5: lot of people called what are they talking about?
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, have I been serio saying this wrong?
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: My whole life? We never said Nike growing up there
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: said Nikes. Yeah, oh you said always really always, but.
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 4: That was a nickname.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 1: Though, I am not sure when I said, I may
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: don't know for sure with false friends, I may.
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 3: I may have been about eighteen or so when I
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 3: realized it was Nike.
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: You're Mike, that's Nike?
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 10: What?
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 13: No?
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 3: I I definitely when I first got a pair of
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 3: Nike Cootez. By the way, it is my original pair
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 3: of Nikes. I thought it was Nike. Well, I thought
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 3: that it was pronounced night.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 2: What was your coolest pair of sneakers at the time
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 2: that you felt like these are the cool sneakers? Like,
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 2: when when did you finally get your first cool pair
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 2: of sneakers?
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 5: I mean, I mine felt unearned because, as I've said,
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 5: my dad worked at Rebux, so I got the pumps,
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 5: but I didn't play I didn't play basketball, so everyone
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 5: would want to, like, you know, come up and pump
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 5: them and then they air out and stuff, and then
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 5: I shoes and pump yourself.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, yeah I had. Was that your first
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: one of those?
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 19: Right?
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 12: No?
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 3: I mean I probably just not. I don't ever really
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 3: remember like thinking my sneakers were anything special.
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: You weren't. You didn't care about your.
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 7: My mom dressed me really well, so like I don't
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 7: I never had to have like, oh I really want
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 7: those shoes instead of mine, you know, like my mom
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 7: had pretty good sty with us.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 8: But Nike shocks is the answer.
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: Nike shocks.
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 8: Nike shocks.
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 7: That's when I started kind of really caring about sneakers
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 7: and like picking out my own colors for the springs.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 3: But you'll get this one. Do you remember coaching shoes?
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, but those were Yeah, but those weren't sneakers,
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 1: but we.
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 3: Wore there was a period that we wore those, like
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 3: as every day the bike shorts I did.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: I never left.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 7: You know, it was a hilarious trend in suburbs of
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 7: Massachusetts for the fat farm sneakers because like, what business
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 7: did kids in the suburbs have wearing.
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: Farmer I don't know what.
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 4: I don't really, you don't generation.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 8: So I guess it's your generation.
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 1: What your first official one of me? Well, I I played.
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 6: I attempted to play basketball growing up, so I had
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 6: a lot of basketball shoes. Jordan's, Iverson's T Max. I
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 6: played most of my basketball years and T Max. My
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 6: older years were in Kyrie's shoe, which actually at the time.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 3: I don't remember, like that first period, like I got
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 3: him for basketball. It was probably Converse All Stars.
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't believe.
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 6: Uh, yeah, I don't remember.
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 1: By the way, No, no Converse is different.
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't remember exactly like the exact shoe, but
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 6: I I was I was a shoehead. You know, I
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 6: was a sneaker head and I had a lot of
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 6: basket No, I just don't remember when that was like
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 6: what you're describing where I was, like.
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, Evan was well off, had a lot. I
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: had a lot of I did have a room where
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: it was like walk in as a child Puma Clydes
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 1: loose Wight with the white Puma, right, you know, I
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 1: think I ever.
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 8: Had Pumas some of my favorite cleats. They made nice cleats.
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 1: What are the the Adidas ones that are making a
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: comeback round? Everybody's got.
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 7: I couldn't do the Samba craze because I just saw
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 7: an indoor soccer sneaker and I was like, there's no
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 7: way in the world this could ever be stylish.
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 8: But all the kids wear I was, they.
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 5: Had them in high school, but they like they're like
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 5: black and they just have the black leather with like
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 5: a white striped classic Adidas.
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah, all different colors stripes they do though.
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 6: Okay, Jordan's probably answered trying to answer your question. Jordan's yeah,
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 6: probably my first parent.
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 3: That was always I had the d Brown pumps. Oh yeah, yeah,
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 3: I had I had Rebox pumps, but I won them.
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 5: I remember that you and your brother scamming the Remember
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 5: that Irish was the coach of the Northeast basketball team.
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 3: Autograph the rebok ad in the program? Oh yeah, how
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 3: many people you think will buy in the Northeastern program?
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: You and you're enrich? Right?
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 3: So we won like four times.
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 1: I'm not lying. I'm not exaggerating at all. A few
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 1: more programs, please, Oh boy, I'm good. Let's see.
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 2: We were also talking about soresby uh and Jordan writes
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 2: in the conversation around the integrity of the game and
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 2: sports betting, I understand, but to claim a kid should
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 2: be banned for life from a league full of people
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 2: who break league rules on drugs, domestic violence, and other
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 2: personal conduct penalties is laughable. In gambling, by the way,
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 2: sports is and has always been a business of second chances.
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 2: If you have the talent to match, if the kid
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 2: truly feels bad, make changes and get approval of the
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 2: vetting process each team will do on him.
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 1: More power to him.
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 2: I'd like to see if Christian Nla has ever made
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 2: a mistake that he could would like to take back.
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: Ban for life is silly.
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 6: I mean, Christian none that he'd ever admit to Saint
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 6: Christian is he's been operating on that higher plane.
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: L Yeah, this is his new thing.
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 2: Now he's the moral arbiter of everything, So everything Jeff
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 2: in Canada. As for the gambling boy, I highly doubt
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 2: he plays in the CFL. The season has already started,
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 2: and although the CFL is like a tiny third cousin
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 2: to the NFL, it does have established players, especially at
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 2: the quarterback position. So I can't see a team saying
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 2: we're going to bring in this guy who might have
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 2: a potential, who might have potential mid season. I wonder
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 2: if the NFL actually did him a favor, because it's
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 2: likely no team was taking him in the supplemental draft
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 2: as opposed to next year as someone takes a flyer
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 2: on him in the sixth round.
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 5: I don't know about that, you know, so, I yeah,
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 5: the last part is not accurate. It's a good documentary.
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 5: I was this kid's agent, I'd probably be like document
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 5: If he didn't get.
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 3: Taken in a supplement mental draft, someone would have immediately
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 3: signed him. Like if he just went on drafted the
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 3: supplemental draft, someone would sign him.
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 6: The super talented at that position. Yeah, do you take
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 6: the chance super interesting. He's very talented, is he physically
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 6: like he's he's got kind of like a Josh Allen
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 6: Drake may kind of skill set, but we just don't
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 6: know if he's going to realize it.
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 4: But he's got that kind of arm talent.
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 1: What would you do? What would you do? You have
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: to you can't you have nowhere to play? Like, you know,
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 1: what what could he do to get I.
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 3: Would go to Canada? Like I understand that they're already
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 3: you know, you know, getting started, but see if you
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 3: can you can get in with with have your agent
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 3: contact everybody in the league and see if you can
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 3: get in there. Some experience playing is but even if
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 3: he doesn't actually play and he's just practicing, that could
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 3: help him.
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 4: So I guess they're in week four of their season
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 4: right now, so pretty early.
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 1: Who is the quarterbacks coach here?
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 2: George gode Got George Got you remember we should call
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 2: him that?
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 1: That's what I was thinking when I said georgeby Do
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 1: you know what that's the reference to the Alex George
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 1: George George Gatzi. You know it was wrong. It's a wonderful,
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 1: wonderful life. George George Bailey, You just say, George Gatzi
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 1: like that movie. I'm not missing that much. I never saw.
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 1: It's a wonderful life. No, No, it's a good movie.
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 4: Wrong religion, there's nothing to do with it, well kind of,
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 4: I'm just kidding.
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 1: You don't believe in angel before.
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 10: I don't know.
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 4: Maybe Jewish people, we don't believe in hell.
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 1: I know that, which is a good thing.
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, we have we have a ranking system. Yeah,
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 6: if you if you stink, you go to the bottom
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 6: of heaven. If you're good, you go to the top.
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you live in Beverly Hills or you live in Everett.
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 4: Exactly exactly.
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 1: I haven't lived in effort for now.
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 4: There's only one of us at the moment, and it
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 4: ain't me.
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 2: He's not wrong, Henry writes, And I apologize for just
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 2: tuning in. If I missed it, I'll go back and listen.
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 2: But what happens if Gabe Acus doesn't sign this season,
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 2: assuming all worse case scenarios, what happens for both parts
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 2: the Patriots and him, I don't know.
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 3: I don't think you were to go to the draft
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 3: the whole year, to the draft next year. I think
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 3: he would re enter the draft the Patriots.
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 1: Get any kind of compensation.
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 4: You know, that has never happened before.
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's happened. I don't.
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's a great hypothetical because I am curious.
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 5: I'm surprised the situation hasn't somehow arisen. But I feel
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 5: like they love this kid so much that even this
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 5: little snaff who to start, they're still fully invested in him.
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 6: And that happens more in baseball, like guys they haggle
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 6: over in the contract and they end up not signing
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 6: with the team that drafted them. I've never heard of
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 6: it happening in football.
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 2: As to different terms with different countries, Max says.
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 1: Z is z not z as used in UK and elsewhere.
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 1: I didn't even know that.
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they they say, he said, I can see doing that.
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 2: He could get confused with C. You know, so you
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 2: say said different.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 8: Means z in French.
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 1: That means z in French. Yeah, there you go. I
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 1: don't know, yea English, are you right about? Yeah? So
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 1: what I described, you go back in the in the draft.
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 3: If he sits out for the entire year to the
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 3: next draft, he would be eligible for the following year's draft.
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, don the people drafted by the Jets. About that. Wow,
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 1: Don from Philly.
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 2: If you were forced to trade the Patriots twenty twenty
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 2: seven first round pick.
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 1: For a player, who would it be and why?
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 2: You can include additional picks if you feel that this
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 2: player is worth more than a.
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 1: First justin Jefferson, I mean, there's a plenty of players.
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 4: I don't know, you know, Miles Garrett like, yeah, like.
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, right now, right now, it's edge rusher, you know,
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 5: give me, give me an edge rusher. I'd scared, be nice,
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 5: but probably need more than one.
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 1: Apparently three. Yeah, so there's tons of players i'd give
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 1: up a first round pick for.
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's see. Peter writes in I'm listening
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 2: to older episodes. I'm currently listening to episodes in March
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 2: of twenty twenty.
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 1: Four, although, like, what's the March of twenty twenty just
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 1: to hear how wrong we were?
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 3: I think it was part of the culture.
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's crazy, It would be funny. Yeah what you said. Yeah,
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 1: we're having some dragon debate or character development.
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 2: I would just like touched some grass, like do something
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 2: all to talk about who will the Patriots pick? Eldred
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 2: wanted Pennix laugh out loud. Also, I give most of
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 2: you credit for hating on McCarthy. During this time, there
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 2: was talk you couldn't take a quarterback unless you have
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 2: the talent around him. Can we now put that to bed,
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 2: that whole theory to bed. If you have the quarterback,
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 2: then you will become a good, great team.
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 1: I agree with that.
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, when you have the opportunity to take the guy,
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 2: get the guy, forget about who you else you have.
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 1: On the team. That's our philosophy. That's our philosophy. Other people, well,
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 1: I think, well that's wrong, But I think they're just wrong. Different.
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 6: Well, there's levels to it though, right, Like, Drake May
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 6: is a different level of prospect than JJ McCarthy and
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 6: Michael Pennock's were, so like I would probably have I
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 6: don't think that JJ McCarthy's career would have gone so
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 6: well if he had come here.
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 4: Drake May, I think, is just transcending.
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 3: I'm going to hold off on my apples to apples
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 3: comparison another ten minutes, another nine minutes.
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 1: I think I can make it. Oh you're going on
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 1: catch on two? No, Oh, I'll give you my counter.
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 1: What is the reunion show?
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 2: On ninety eight point five July ninth, July ninth, because
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 2: every Monday I tune into ninety eight point five.
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 1: Oh maybe this is the day that Paul was this reunion. Yeah,
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 1: two weeks from tomorrow. Yeah, okay, that's huge, huge.
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 3: It's a World Cup day too, so we will not
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 3: be here.
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 1: That's right, that's the quarterfinal. That's the last World Cup
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 1: game here.
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 5: God, are you curious how long it's going to take
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 5: them to like get back to normal here with all
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 5: the structures that they have outside of the stadium, like.
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 1: Feels like a city.
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 4: What do you think a week?
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 5: Well, if you like a concert, you know, like concerts,
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 5: you come in and it's like, my god, they are
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 5: already out the door.
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 1: But I mean, I don't imagine there's a rush to
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 1: get everything packed up.
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 2: Well yeah, I mean certainly, the the sponsors that paid
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 2: for you know, visuals within the Bowl, you got to
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 2: get those done first, you know, and then work your way.
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 1: Out and get those gillettes pretty quick.
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 2: But you know, they did keep the Super Bowl banners,
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 2: and I think that was a smart move because I
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 2: think that every teams, every stadium should have that something
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 2: to tell people where they are.
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 1: You know, like we are in the home of the Patriots,
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 1: right and we're watching it too.
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 5: Like I understand why they wanted to rename all the
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 5: stadiums for an international audience that you know, you want
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 5: to have a sense of where in the country they are.
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 8: And you know, it's not just that it's.
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 2: Now that we've seen and you know, a lot of
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 2: us didn't need to be have this proven to us.
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 2: But now that we see how massive this event is
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 2: on a global scale, why should brand X be getting
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 2: free exposure just because they're at the stadium. I can
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 2: understand FIFA saying, no, if you want to ride our coattails,
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 2: you got to pay up. I can't understand that we
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 2: would do the same thing. We would do the same thing.
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 5: It's not a hard negotiation though, you know, from from
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 5: our perspective as an organization, you have to deal with
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 5: and you're gonna you know what I mean, Like, how
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 5: do Jillette feel about that, being like it's not going
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 5: to be.
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 8: Wanted to?
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 7: You know, they could like FIFA's sponsors that are paying
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 7: all this money to be on.
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 8: This global stage.
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 2: I just.
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 8: I think that you know, guitar though they're first in mind,
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 8: I just.
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 1: Think it's greed. It's I mean, there's nothing wrong with that.
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 2: Like if you and you've built this, you've built this
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 2: event up to be such a global event, I think
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 2: you have the right to, you know, leverage it and
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 2: benefit from it.
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 1: I think that they certainly had the right they did it.
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 6: The banners though, you are right because in multiple times
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 6: I've heard usually pre game they'll say like, oh, you know,
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 6: Earling Holland's playing in Tom Brady's house, and then they
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 6: just like panned to the you know, it's like they
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 6: all the all the commentators are loving saying like this
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 6: is we're here in the Patriots play here.
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 1: I think to win for everybody.
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 3: I have noticed they put in the little bug too,
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 3: like you know World Cup Boston, Dallas or Boston.
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 5: Because it's New York, New Jersey, right, like it's where
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 5: the finals were.
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 2: Calling international fans, it's New Jersey. It's not New York.
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 2: They're playing in New Jersey.
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 1: Are they playing in New York stadium?
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 6: Though they're playing in New Jersey, New York, New Jersey,
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 6: New York State, New York, New Jersey Stadium And that's
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 6: where the that's where the final is. And I think
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 6: it's funny because I've seen pictures online of some foreign
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 6: fans that are like, think that MetLife is this like
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 6: taj Mahal Mecca, And I'm just like, I think that
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 6: that's maybe one of the worst stadiums in the It's
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 6: one of the worst new stadiums.
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 4: It looks like an air conditioner.
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 1: Well it doesn't. But there's a lot of club and
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 1: suites and that's good.
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 2: And also the time zones right because it's an international game,
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 2: and I understand why they wanted to.
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 4: Do it on the East Coast, but I don't know.
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 4: There's nicer stadiums.
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh for sure, Atlanta. I mean, if you're gonna
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 2: it's either Dallas or so Fire the two best.
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 4: Atlanta's really nice too at really nice cool roof.
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, we're coming to the end here quickly.
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 2: The Patriots have the tenth lowest cast spending in the
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 2: league and the sixth highest cap space. They also have,
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 2: in my opinion, clear needs for veteran depth at multiple positions.
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 2: Do you expect them to add veteran free agents in
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 2: training camp? If not, are they really comfortable with the
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 2: likes of kJ Britton, Kendall vildor playing meaningful snaps in
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty six, and that's Noah from Toronto.
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I mean, were able talked about the
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 1: tight end position.
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 5: I don't think we'd any of us to be surprised
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 5: to see suddenly a veteran nose tackle arrive late.
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 1: You know, one of those guys in their early thirties.
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 3: There's but not for substantial money answer, And I would
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 3: just say, how many you know, significant snaps that Charles
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 3: Woods get last year or Alex Austin because those are
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 3: the two guys that were the fourth corner at times
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 3: last year, and that theoretically is what Kendall Vildor would
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 3: be if he makes the team.
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, we still have Chuckie Trees.
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 6: But I would just say, too, like we know the
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 6: third linebacker in the fourth corner on the Patriots, because
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 6: we followed the Patriots. Every team is having a conversation
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 6: about do we have enough depth at this place on
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 6: our roster or that place on the roster. It's I
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 6: don't know who every team's third linebacker is, but I'm
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 6: sure it's not somebody that's worlds better than kJ Britt
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 6: for the most part.
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 1: Speaking of initials, H CJS in kc Arrowhead don't.
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 14: Yeah, some guys, I what I joined late, but I
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 14: joined in your conversation about how you don't like commentators
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 14: using the language firm like where you know, from overseas
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 14: and stuff like that. If it was reversed like when
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 14: you know, the NFL goes over to you know, the
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 14: UK and stuff like that, if they if they're commentators,
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 14: their local commentators all are calling it a football field
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 14: rather than a pitch.
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 9: Does that bother you at all?
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah? See, that's my point. I kind of like, yes,
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 1: thank you for doing it the way it should be.
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 2: That's kind of the my point, Like, yes, I would
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 2: expect them to do the like embrace, embrace the sport,
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 2: don't try to change it.
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 1: That I agree.
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 4: That's kind of how I look at it to thank you,
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 4: good good call.
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 1: Thanks CJ.
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 18: No.
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 1: But the thing about it, continuing our semantics argument, but the.
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 2: Thing about it, But the thing about it, like football
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 2: is an inherently American sport, soccer is international, so every
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 2: country probably has a different name for what the field
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 2: is or you know, so it's kind.
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 1: Of hard to do that.
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 6: I don't know this for a fact, but based off
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 6: of my interactions over the last week or so. Everybody
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 6: that can speak English calls it a pitch that I've
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 6: spoken to. What do you mean if you are a
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 6: person from a foreign country that's here that I've had
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 6: the pleasure of speaking to over the last week, whether
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 6: they're from England or Scotland, or France or where Morocco.
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 2: Anyone from a different country who happens to speak English
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 2: uses pitch.
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 4: To describe that I have in that I have interacted.
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, and you think they're wrong, No, I just don't
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 2: think that that's.
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 4: What we call it, like, I don't think that that's
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 4: our language, that's all.
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 1: But they've adopted what they call it in England or
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 1: in the u K.
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's maybe I don't know. I think
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 6: it's a like a European thing. Yeah, it's a UK thing.
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 2: But because in France they don't call it a pitch.
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 2: They probably call it whatever.
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 4: But when they speak English they call it a pitch.
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 1: Well, that's right.
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 3: I just want to know in France, in French, do
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 3: they call it a field the French word for field
• 1:58:30
