NFL Training Camp Mailbag: Differences between Dak Prescott & Brock Purdy, Can Commanders keep Jayden Daniels HEALTHY? Is the Chiefs roster OLD? · 3 and Out with John Middlekauff

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: The Volume. What is going on, my people? How are
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: we doing? I'm John. This is the Renown Podcast. Hopefully
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: you're doing well. And today on this Fugazi Friday, I
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: am going to... I'm going to do a big mailbag.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Had so many mailbag questions. Thought I'd fire some out.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: At John Middlecoff. At John Middlecoff is the Instagram. Fire
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: in those DMs and get your questions answered here on
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the show. Again, just my Instagram. Fire in the DMs.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: That's the entire show today. We're just banging out mailbag questions. Very,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: very easy to get involved. Season's right around the corner.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Less than two weeks away. So it flies by. Late July,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: it feels like it's going to be a long time.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden you look up and
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: it's September 1st. So... And honestly, if the NFL hadn't
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: pushed it back a week, it'd literally be right around
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: the corner. They'd be playing a game next week. But
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: the NFL, you know, piggyback in. The Super Bowl's not until, like, June.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: But you guys know the drill. If you listen on
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Colin's feed, make sure you subscribe to 3 and Out.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: You want to watch us, we're on Netflix. Also put
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: up content on the YouTube page you can check out.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Just type in my name, 3 and Out. And, yeah.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Let's just dive right in. This is from Christian. Question
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: on Jaden Daniels. I'm a lifelong tall lanky guy, 6'1,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: a buck 70. I've always been athletic, but my size
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: became a liability at a certain point. My main sport
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: has been tennis, where I can get away with it.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I've recently taken to getting serious about putting on some muscle.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Jaden is a couple inches taller than me, has some
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: pounds on me, obviously. Since he was drafted, I've always
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: admired his ability to throw the ball down the field,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: use his legs effectively. But I always am concerned that
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: an NFL quarterback could have a similar physical profile. How
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: can he reliably take hits and stay healthy? I feel
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: like his next injury will launch a serious conversation about this. Well,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: their offensive line is going to be in question this year. Obviously,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Tunzel they gave some money to. rightfully so, and he
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: had a devastating injury in camp, which there's nothing you
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: can do. You lose a left tackle in camp, it's
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: no one's fault. It just kind of is what it is.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, what are you supposed to do? A guy
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Taurus Peck? But to me, you can never control getting
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: sacked in the pocket unless you're holding the ball too long.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: You're just going to get sacked sometimes. It's part of
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: playing quarterback. Every player in the history of the sport,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: high school, college, pros, for 50 plus years. Sometimes you're
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: going to get sacked in the pocket. Jaden is a
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: running or dual threat quarterback. And going back to LSU,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: when Jaden would run, he was pretty reckless with his body.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Jackson Dart is as well. They are not, it almost
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: feels like not cognizant of the violence down the field. Like,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: hey guys, these people will hit you and they will
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: hit you hard. And they're coming full speed. And we
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: all watch the combine. A lot of these cats run
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: like 4-4-8-40s. And they weigh 230, 240, 250 pounds. And
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: they are lowering their shoulder looking to hit you in
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: the ribs. And those ribs will crack when they make contact.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: So I think one thing he can do a really
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: good job of is just avoid some of these hits.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: And right now, for whatever reason... Throughout early in his career,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: going back to college, I don't know if he doesn't...
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: It just doesn't come natural to him. But like Russell
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Wilson was always great at sliding. Jalen Hurts is like
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: a natural open field runner. You know, Lamar will kind
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: of dive. I don't know. Something about Jaden when he runs...
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Whenever I've watched him, I don't think he quite understands.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: No one's questioning your toughness. You are tough. You are tough.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: But your body is not meant to dive in the
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: air and get hit by flying linebackers and safeties, who
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the only time they ever get to hit your position
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: is these 60 minutes on Sunday. So it's a major
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: question mark. Because obviously he throws the ball. He spins
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: it well. He's great down the field. Accurate deep ball thrower.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Throws a beautiful spiral. Throws a beautiful ball. But as
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: a runner, he gets himself in questionable scenarios. Jackson Dart,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: same thing. You can't take these hits in the NFL.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: These people will fucking break bones inside your body. Hey, John,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: big fan. Thank you for providing... Realistic takes. I can't
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: even watch some of these other networks anymore. My question
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: or comment is that through the J.J. McCarthy saga, why
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: is he the bad guy? The franchise not only gave
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: up a fourth and a fifth to move up a
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: single spot to draft him. They lacked the awareness to say, quote,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the kid just blew his knee out before the season
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: even started and is basically a rookie again next year.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Let's give him the reins. All while Sam is playing
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: the best football of his career and they win 14 games. Yes,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: he would have demanded more after the season, but isn't
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: that a good problem? Even though it's hefty, they could
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: have had a 14-win quarterback and understudy on a rookie
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: deal for less than the cost of Tua. Would learning
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: under Sam have helped J.J.? Probably not. But at least
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: he would have a better chance of not being a, quote,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: shit-the-bed Fred. That's a good line. Once he saw the field.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: It's a copycat league, so why does the Packers model
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: not stick to the rest of the league's front offices?
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: You bite the bullet and pay a first-round quarterback salary
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: so you aren't stuck on the carousel of being, quote,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: just a quarterback away. Well, one, the Packers both times,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Favre and Rodgers were under contract. So they had these
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: guys like they controlled their rights. Sam was a one-year contract.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: He was going to be a free agent. I guess
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: they could have franchised him. They could have been more
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: aggressive in terms of his market and just matched the deal.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I also think we're in a day and age now
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: where the pressure is at an all-time high. The other
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: thing is Jordan Love was the 27th pick. And Rodgers
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: was 24th, 25th, I think 24th. So there is less
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: pressure on being the 27th pick than the 10th pick.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Like that's just a reality of life. Even though it's
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: like not that much different, right? There's no different pressure
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: if you're a second round pick as pick 40 as
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: pick 57. You're viewed as a second round pick, right?
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Debo and A.J. Brown were viewed as the same thing,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: even though one guy was drafted previously. higher in the
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: in the second round or DK right but in the
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: first round you're a first round pick but also like
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: you're the 10th overall pick so that to me that
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: has I would say a dramatic weight that comes with
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: it and then we're just in a societal time of
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: like no one has any patience fair or not listen
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I can get nostalgic as anybody about the past about
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: life of what it used to be. But guess what?
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: We're never going back. I love talking like, what if
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: we do a redraft? Guess what's never happened in the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: history of sports? A redraft. You can't redo it and
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: take Bo Nix instead of J.J. McCarthy. So you make
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: a decision. You know, you guys too, being in Minnesota,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: it's Big Ten country. You take the Michigan star quarterback.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Harbaugh was blowing him, calling him a great player, added
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: to the hype. The 49ers did the same thing. They
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: just gave Trey Lance the job, and it blew up
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: in their face. The Colts kind of did the same thing.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Blew up in their face. So I think it's easier
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: said than done. Just copy the Packers. Well, yeah, they
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: found Rodgers and Jordan Love late in the first round.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: How often has that happened? We've seen other quarterbacks in
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: other rounds, but I would say Rodgers, Lamar, Jordan Love... Like,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: legit starting, obviously, Rodgers, like, one of the best quarterbacks
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: of all time. Lamar won multiple MVPs. And Jordan Love's
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: pretty good. I saw Coward go on this rant, like,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: through his first three years, he's better than Favre and
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: closer to Rodgers. Basically identical. Like, Jordan Love's been really good,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: especially when you factor in his story. But typically, most of, like,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: let's just go around the league, right? Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Herbert,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. I mean, these guys were all first picks,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: sixth pick, tenth pick, seventh pick, like really high selections.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Jared Goff, first overall pick. Then there's Purdy, Dak, Baker Mayfield,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: first overall pick. Sam Darnold, third overall pick. Kyler Murray,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: first overall pick. Jalen Hurts, a little bit of an outlier,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: second round pick. But by year two, Jalen Hurts was
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: a starter, if I remember correct. Because he came in
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: at the end of his rookie year. I hear what
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: you're saying. I just think no one wants... Let's face it.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Their huge mistake was not re-signing Sam Darnold. If they
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: could do it over again, you would have re-signed Sam Darnold.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: But that's part of life. We all make mistakes sometimes.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Like once you break up with her and she gets
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: remarried and have kids, she ain't coming back. You know,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: once you tell a guy like, I'm taking another job
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: and then six months later, later you kind of regret
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: it like your decisions been made so like holding on
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: to regrets even if they're valid like clear there's nothing
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: they can do about it nothing The decision was made.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: And we all make decisions. Whether it's letting a quarterback walk,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: whether it's I regret selling that house, I regret dating
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: that girl, or I wish I would have. We can
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: play that. Every human being, every organization, every business, you
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: can play that game until you're blue in the face.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: But eventually, you're just like, we've got to move forward.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: How often are we going to look backwards? We've got
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: to move forward. And where I will give them credit,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: if they end up giving Carson Wentz the third quarterback,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: or excuse me, make him the backup quarterback and put
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: JG as third quarterback, like they're moving forward. And that's
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the only way, you know, to kind of move forward
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: is just to go through, like just one step in
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: front of the other and you got to start making progress.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Like they're starting it. There's nothing they can do to
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: There's no reset button of going backwards. So it sucks.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: But I think comparing to the Packers is tough. Because
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: they've had two unique scenarios. He also paid... This is
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: someone arguing over Jed and Kraft. police should have videoed
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: craft is a different discussion but i believe both are
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: equally bad not just a lonely old man getting an
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: innocent rub and tug i just i'm sorry um because
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: the parlor was literally a sex trafficking women but he
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: got but craft was the owner of the of the
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: parlor was the one that serviced him at least to
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: my knowledge what the what the report was To me,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: it's not about either. I don't care if Kraft gets
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: a you-know-what or if Jed gets laid and pays for it.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: None of that bothers me. I'm not offended. I'm not
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: some moral high-horse guy. I don't give a shit. Prostitution
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: is the longest-running profession in the world. It's never going away.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: People are always going to pay for sex. Look at OnlyFans.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: It is what it is. It's powerful. Sex is a
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: powerful thing. It is. My issue with Jed is... There's
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: a human instinct that kicks in. We've all been down bad.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: We've all been lonely. We've all been in a bad space.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: We've all... Maybe not all of us. But some of
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: us have sexual encounters we regret. Whether they're with hookers
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: like Jed. Or just with other people in a normal
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: consensual relationship. Right? But... There's a human instinct that kicks in.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: And when you turn into the mobile home trailer park,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: you would think the owner of an NFL team, a
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: guy who's grown up filthy rich would go, this is
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: probably not a good decision. And I'm not going in here.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: And never have entered. But like I mentioned this yesterday,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the video that came out on his arrest was sad. Like,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: you just feel bad for the guy. Like, he feels
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: like he's in an awful spot. If you think I'm like,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the embarrassment is the guy getting arrested going to a
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: trailer park for a hooker. The embarrassment is not most
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: people going like, this guy is the equivalent of murder. Like, no,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I don't think anyone thinks that or even cares. Most
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: people do not care. Can we just stop discussing ratings?
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: This is the most pointless discussion ever. I get why
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: someone like Colin cares. He works for Fox. But a
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: couple weeks ago, someone mentioned something like NBA hated OKC
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: and Indy. NFL better hope Jags cards don't face off
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. We as fans should not care
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: about who else watches it. None of our lives or
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: pockets are being changed if the Chiefs or Cowboys play
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: in a Super Bowl or if the Panthers play the Chargers.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Am I being old man that yells at the cloud
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: why I should care about a game that gets a
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: 5.2 or 11.6? I care less about some number, some
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: arbitrary number. I care about people, though. Like, the reason
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: OKC Indy, that matters is it's the lowest rated finals ever. Culturally,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. So when you watch the Knicks win
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: it and it's setting ratings, bonanza numbers, or Yankees, Dodgers...
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: and it's 20 or 30 million people, or you're watching
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Ohio State, Texas, and it's the highest rated college game
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: of the year, you know you're watching something that matters, culturally,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: from a sports standpoint, and to me that matters. I've
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: said this forever about Game of Thrones. I don't do dungeons.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I don't do dragons. I'm not into that. But it
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: was so big, so many people were watching it, I
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: felt obligated because I had a little FOMO. And I
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: get FOMO with sports that are non-football and golf. The
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Indiana OKC series, I didn't watch. I mean, I probably
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: peeked at it a little bit here and there and
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: watched game seven, but I didn't feel like it mattered.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: This year in the finals felt like it mattered. Just
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: like the Dodgers, they feel culturally relevant. And Michael Jordan,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Tiger, that's how sports works.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: When people are bigger, more people are interested, and it
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: changes the conversation. There's a reason I don't talk about
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Rutgers football here. If I did, you'd probably tune me out.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: But I could talk about, let's say I was a
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: diehard Ohio State, Notre Dame, or Texas fan, or Duke basketball.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: I could talk about that casually all the time, and
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: no one would tune out. So I do think it matters. Not,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: you're right, like 5.2 or 7, but if I tell you, hey,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: 5 million people watch this or 20 million people watch this, like,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: I do think that's relevant. But I agree, for most people,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: it doesn't change, like, what they make or not. But, like,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: why one series way more people watch than the others? Like,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: ask yourself that. What are your thoughts on the YouTube
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: golf drama? Good Good getting canceled essentially and now having
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Grant Horvat selling a plastic set of golf clubs to
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: kids for $ 200. Do you see the need to, quote,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: shrink the game? For those, we talked about this yesterday
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: on the podcast. There was a story that came out
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: today that Callaway canceled their relationship. The PGA Tour severed
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: their ties with Good Good Golf. I do think there
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: are some parallels with McAfee to this situation. I think
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: some of casual people around golf don't like, let's say,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: the good, good guy. They just got $ 45 million from,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: I think, private equity or venture capital money infused last year,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: $ 45 million. There's a jealousy, especially golf writers. I think
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: a lot of them look down on these guys. It
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: doesn't really exist. in like football or basketball. I guess
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: they're like content creators, but now they're all like, I'm
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: no different than a radio. We're all in the same thing.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Yet if you like cover golf for golf.com and you're
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: making a hundred grand and you see these good, good
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: guys making millions of dollars, all in their 20s or
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: early 30s, living in big houses, hanging out with Dak
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Prescott and shooting videos with pro golfers. There's a jealousy
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: and an envy, even if their stuff is kind of stupid.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I don't watch it. I do think that, as someone
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: told me that's in the advertising world today, I was
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: texting around them, he's a diehard listener to this podcast
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: and we love him, is that It's as simple as this.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: If Good Good's merchandise was flying off the shelves, they
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have got out of business with them. At the
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: end of the day, business is very black and white.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: When you crush it, I'll stand by you a little
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: bit longer. Right? It's why do some head cases get
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: longer leashes in pro sports? Usually pretty good. Guess what
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: happens when they suck? They get cut. You know? So I... I...
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Commercial was stupid. I saw this viral commercial from way
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: back in the day. I forget what year this was,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: but like a Snickers commercial where like grandma, they're playing
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: pickup football and grandmas were getting tackled. I think it's
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: as simple as did good, good charge more than they
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: could bring to the table because they were coming out
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: with this Callaway good, good driver. Well, who's buying that?
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: The 58 year old finance guy that is a member
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: of two country clubs. No, The 20-year-old guy whose bankroll
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: is not that big. So they're a customer that they
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: don't mind losing. I think sometimes you've got to look at, like,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: is this going to cost us a lot of money?
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Because if it is, then it's not worth it. Is
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: this worth the headache? And clearly, based on their numbers,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: they said no. But it happened fast. We haven't seen
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: one of these in a while. When people are guests
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: on Colin's show, do they get paid? And Josh Pate
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: works for ESPN technically. Do they not care if he
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: goes on Fox? and could we get a preseason college
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: football prediction 1 through 12 and how you think the
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: bracket will fall uh you know i'm not in charge
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: of collins show when it comes to his how fox
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: pays or not i mean some of the guys that
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: go on are employees Julian Edelman, Fox employee. Joel Klatt,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Fox employee. Obviously, Tom Brady goes on once a month.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Some of these guys are under contract with Fox. It's
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: all under the same umbrella. I can't speak to some
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: of the random guys, though. Josh Pate, maybe they will
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: have some rules, but he's, I don't know if he's like,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: he's not a W2 ESPN employee. So, and it's, I don't,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: you know, a show technically hasn't started, but I don't
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: know how that goes. You have, I have to ask,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Um, college football, me and Jackson actually today,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: it'll come out next week, recorded like a big college
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: football preview. Typically it's, it's just probably in someone's contract.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: They have to do a certain amount of hits on
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: certain shows would be, would be my guess. You know,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: that's how it usually works in like radio. Uh, but
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know kind of the TV landscape. But if
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Andy Reid comes on, they don't send him $ 1, 000. Not
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: that I know of. Maybe I'm out of the loop.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Question for the bag. I've been a lifelong Niner fan.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: I want to ask about the quarterback comparison between Brock
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: and Dak. In my opinion, they're similar. But I constantly
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: see Dak regarded much higher than Purdy. Dak has a
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: clear edge over him right now, considering every time... They
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: have played. Purdy has beaten them. Some people argue that
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Purdy's teams have had, quote, the Avengers when they played
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: each other, but let's not ignore the fact that totaled
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: across those years, they played 22, 23, and 24. Both
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: teams had the same number of AP first and second
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: team All-Pros. 15! I just don't understand why it's almost
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: consensus opinion that Dak is better than Purdy. Why nothing
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: we have, when we have watched on the stat sheet
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: or with our eyes on the field backs that up.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I do think there's a massive bias against Brock. I
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: think it's easy to not give him his due. Like
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: if you just pulled everyone, like no one ever puts
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: him as a top 10 quarterback. Like Dak's established, he's
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: really good. It was like three, four years ago. Cousins
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: had established himself really good, and Dak's better than that.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: But I think it's really hard. You see it with
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold. Everyone, like, ah, Sam was a bust, Sam
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: was a bust. Then he has the 14-win season, and
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: no one really gave him his flowers. And then last year,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: he's the starting quarterback for a Super Bowl champ, plays
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: well again, and still in the Sando thing, they voted
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: him 14th overall. Think how crazy that is. It's like
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: he's got two years of evidence now. Two years of evidence.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Like Brock has many years of evidence. I would say
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Dak is more natural in the pocket. He's taller, he
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: can see. Purdy definitely at this point is a way
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: better playmaker, scrambler, like run to throw. Dak just has
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: far superior. I mean, George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb are better.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, Jawan Jennings was number one wide receiver last year. So, yeah,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: I think it's fair. At the end of the day,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Like, I would say they're both somewhere
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: between 7 and 11, 7 and 12 range. And if
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: you do a good enough job calling the plays, building
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: your team, playing defense, your team's going to be good.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Brock's had better moments in the playoffs, that's for sure,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: which should matter, count for something. And when they've played, like,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: in the playoff games, Dak has been bad in the
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: two playoff games. I guess one of the playoff games,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Garoppolo was starting. But the next year when Purdy started
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: his rookie year, I had to bring up that box score,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: but I don't think Purdy played that well in that
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: game either. But Cowboys defense was good. Parsons, their DBs
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: were good. Diggs was good then. They were just way
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: better on defense then. Their defense was good. That's when
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Dan Quinn had them rolling. That game, that was a
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: knockdown dragout. Dak lost them the game. To me, Dak's
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: established himself. Really good quarterback. Been bad in the playoffs.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's no way around it. Got a little
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Harden thing going. But, like, Harden doesn't try. Like, you
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: just watch it. He's like, James, this is the second
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: round of the playoffs. James is standing there. Dak tries.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: He just, I don't know, gets tight, makes mistakes. I
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: wonder if Dak will still wear the good, good hat.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: He was a pretty loyal, like, good, good guy. But
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: now they're controversial. We'll have to see. I saw him
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: wearing the hat, I swear, in Oxnard like three weeks ago.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: The other day on the pod, you talked about life
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: behind the scenes in the NFL and how crazy things
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: can be. Did you watch the show Ballers? Did I
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: watch Ballers? Hell yeah. If so, how accurate is the
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: crazy life off the field? I think in any business
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: where there's a lot of money, right? Because to do
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: crazy things, right? To have like, a hooker caught at
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: the Four Seasons with a Mercedes wrapped around a telephone pole. Right?
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: You need money to gain access to this stuff. So
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: you factor in Wall Street, you factor in the NFL,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: you factor in some of these industries where there's a
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: lot of money. So, hey, they're having an orgy on
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: a private jet. Like, most human beings don't even have
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: access even if they wanted to do that because they
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: couldn't afford it. So I think that brings the element into, like,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: You're always going to see the guy just down and
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: out struggling. We're human beings. I think where it gets amplified,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: the crazy stuff, is the financial means of these guys.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: They need to factor in they're young. And they're just alphas.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: And they're just, I mean, you've got to be a
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: little nuts to be in the NFL. You know? You just,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: not all these guys, obviously pretty buttoned up. Some of
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: them off the field. Some of them a little loose cannon.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: You know? And I think there's not a story that
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: could come out that is unbelievable. I mean, we just
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: saw the owner of the Niners go into a trailer
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: park for a hooker. And he was texting her off
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: an ad online. Like, that's something that would be in ballers.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: an owner getting arrested for a prostitute so I would
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: say yeah I mean I just think these things Ballers
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: was like the cheesier version of Playmakers maybe it was
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: The Rock I did like the lead character was he
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: a running back was that Denzel's son that played like
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: the lead guy remember that I enjoyed that guy I
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: love the bald like agent guy I enjoyed Ballers stupid
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: cheesy but like an enjoyable show Yeah, I mean, all
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: these stories are very realistic. I mean, this is, think
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: about this. Billions of dollars, young guys, big egos, agents, coaches,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: just factor it all in. What is your favorite part
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: of the day on Sunday? This is an NFL Sunday.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Is it waking up in the morning before the early
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: games start, sipping some coffee, and locking in some bets?
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: During the early window when most of the games are happening,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: afternoon with a couple heavyweight matchups, or the prime time games?
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: That's a great question. I think the special time is
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: a good early morning window for us on the West
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Coast noon to one. When you've got like three or
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: four games close, a bunch of tight games in the
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter, even if it's some bad games, but it's
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: just a lot of action going on, as Hanson calls it,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: the witching hour. I would say the witching hour is
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: a pretty prime time game. Typically, I try just because
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: I'm in the office or sitting down watching for 12 hours.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: I try to get up relatively early, get an hour
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: workout in, be sitting down showering and everything by like 945,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: have my TVs ready to go, have a cup of coffee.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Usually Maria, you know, we'll see what happens with Jack,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: but she used to make snacks and stuff, you know,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: right around lunchtime, maybe some like just all sorts of
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: different like little hot sandwich. It was great. Maybe those
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: days are over though. Just be me like eating power
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: bars here in the office. And then part of my day, though,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: which I enjoy, is thinking of different angles, thinking of
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: different thoughts, seeing things that I want to talk about. Like,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: it is fun. I mean, I get to do this
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: for a living, talk about what I see on television
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: in all these different games. So, like, jotting down something
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: that is maybe a running theme of something I've talked about,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: something I didn't see coming, something that is just cool
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: that happened, coach I want to crush. There's a lot
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: going on on a Sunday. Can we get a week
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: one betting preview? This is disgusting, but I love the
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Jets to beat the Titans week one. Cam Warden, new offense.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Geno realistically can't be as bad as last year. It
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: sounds like Chip Kelly was bag chasing, not coaching, and
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: the Jets' line is the worst in existence. Also slamming
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I definitely like the Cowboys against the Giants.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Let's just pull it up really quick. There's There's a
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: couple games that I saw that just early tickled my fancy.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Week one. I do think I'm going to take the Niners.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Maybe not to win, but, you know, getting over a
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: field goal. I definitely like the Raiders against the Dolphins.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: I do think the Bucs could be like, in a
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: weird way, keep that game close against the Bengals. Saints
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: are getting a lot of points on the road against
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: the Lions. Colts big underdog at home against the Ravens.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: I can see the Steelers beating the Falcons by like
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: 20 points. That actually might be a favorite of mine.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Steelers-Falcons in Pittsburgh. Rodgers-McCarthy. I don't think the Bills match
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: up that well against the Texans. That's Texans dog at home.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: That's a hammer. Well, my question with the Jed York
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: fiasco is, while still illegal, I'm sure he could find
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: the classiest high-end escort that money could buy and no
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: one would probably care. Why not do that? I gotta
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: assume that it's not just the first time going for
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: a lot of lizards because it just doesn't add up
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: to me. Maybe more to the story. You know, someone
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: told me is like whenever they shoot to Mark Davis's
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: box since he's been in Vegas, you know, there's like
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: a high-end escort vibe and everyone just laughs. I said, yeah,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Mark's like in Vegas. They're beautiful. No one cares. Like
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: no one cares who you sleep with and lets a
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: little kid sleep And then there's a percentage of people
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: that are even okay with that, that some of us
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: believe that they should be shot on the spot. But
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: that's a conversation for a different day. I do not
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: care if two consenting adults, you give them $ 100, $ 500, $ 1, 000.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: I do not care. I don't spend any time thinking
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: about it. You could argue that them setting up Jed,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: they could have spent more time of like finding the
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: people that are running these hookers, like the pimps or
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: the rings, like Yeah, we could have these conversations, and
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: I'd be open to listen to. But I don't understand.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: I was telling Maria this the other day. There are
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: these apps I've never been on for celebrities or high
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: net worth people that are dating apps for these people
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: to meet each other. Couldn't he just join that app,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: take a selfie, and on his bio write, owner of
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: the Niners? Don't you think he'd get some swipes? And
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: it's like, okay, she lives in Texas. Well, fucking send
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: the jet to pick her up. Start an Instagram page.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Start DMing some people. I don't know. It's not that hard.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: You don't need to get some gutter rat who didn't
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: even exist. There is the divorce. He's clearly down bad,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: which I am empathetic toward. You find yourself just in
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: the dirt, in the mud, in the gutter, and your
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: life's falling apart. Let's just hypothetically say, because that's what
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: it feels like if you're going to do something like this.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: It's not that complicated to get laid, but some people
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: struggle with that. Not everyone walks into a room or
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: just understands. It's not hard for Mark Davis. Mark Davis
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: with the Raiders, and you could say Jed's a better
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: looking guy than him and younger. I mean, Mark's always
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: got just dimes. No, yeah, they're from strip club or escort.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Who cares? No one cares. I don't know. I can't.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: I don't have a great answer. I really don't. I truly,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: like I said, I feel bad for him after watching
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: that video. It's like the dude needs a friend. Also,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: here's the other thing. He's one of the rare guys
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: in the league where it feels like his parents still
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: tell him what to do. You're like, Stephen can't trade
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: a guy without Jerry. But Jerry ain't telling Stephen, Stephen's
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: filthy rich. I bet his house is massive. The guy's
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: living like a king. Why is Jed in Ohio? Did
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: his parents tell him to come back there? Is this like,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: are his parents doing this to him? They've always felt
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: like they kind of hover around. It's a weird thing.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Jed's 46 years old. It's a bizarre deal. I don't
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: have anything else to say. I don't think Jed, which, again,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: he's been given an incredible life, but I don't think it's...
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: It's not as glamorous, probably, as people envision it being.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: It was like that. Stories I used to hear when
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: I was around the Raiders, like when Al Davis was
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: still alive and they would lose, sometimes he would make
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Mark Davis... Again, this story I always heard, like, fly
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: back on a different... He wouldn't allow him on the
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: team plane home. He'd have to, like, go book his
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: own Southwest flight home. Like, some of these guys... Some
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: of these people are fucking nuts. When he was with
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: the Saints, it almost seemed like folks would forget to
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: talk about Sean Payton's team during the preseason as they
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: were just boring and consistent. Is that where we've gotten
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: with Denver? Too good, too consistent, gonna win 10-plus games
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: and be in the Super Bowl mix. As a fan...
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: It's kind of a dream. It's a testament to elite
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: coaching and a top tier ownership. Sure beats Nate Hackett
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson. Sure beats Vic Fangio, Paxson Lynch. So yeah, man,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: it's just, they're definitely on the short list of a
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: team to like, yeah, they can win the Super Bowl. Right?
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Anytime you're just in the, yeah, I can win the
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl as a fan. Like my team can win
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. That's an awesome place to be. I
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: don't know what else to say. He's good. Their team's good. Um,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: I would say they do have a couple, you know,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: the Davis web, like, is Sean just going to allow
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: them to do it no matter what? Are they going
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: to be better earlier in games? Is Nick's going to
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: be more consistent? Uh, you know, two years ago, their
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: defense was unreal. Actually, their defense had some moments where
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: it's just not as locked down. Was I watching the
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: preseason game last week or did Riley Moss their second corner?
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: Something happened to him. Didn't he get injured? I swear
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: to who are they playing? I thought he was hobbling
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: off the field. They were making a good point in
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: the broadcast, too, in the preseason. Like, Riley Moss, everyone
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: talking about like a scrub. Well, they only throw at
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: him because they don't throw at the other guy because
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: the other guy is considered one of, if not the
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: best corner in the league in Sertan. Not just in
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: reference to the Niners, but all teams' injuries just continue
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: to seem far more common these days. Even in the
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: 90s and 2000s, you didn't hear nearly as many. I
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: think this 100% goes towards your theory of how practices
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: and training camps have changed. No double days, little full pads.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Then on Sundays, everyone goes full throttle. My main question is,
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: do you think coaches, GMs, or owners will ever consider
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: the theory and go back to the way it once was?
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Harder training can't be worse than consistently losing your top players.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Your thoughts? At the gym I go to, there's like
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: this area, they have a chiropractor. He's a stud, big
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: Bears fan. And we were talking about it the other day.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: He's a big diehard football guy. I think he played
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: college football. And we were just discussing like all these injuries.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: And he thought he brought up a good point because
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: my theory of they train, like they used to like
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: take time off from lifting and running and getting shaped
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: during training camp. And now most of these guys lift
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: year round. And while they, you know, the size of
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: the humans are still somewhat similar. I feel like the
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: body fat percentage has never been lower. Like these guys
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: are so rocked up. And his point was that when
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: you lift hard, your muscles get bigger, but your joints
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: and tendons don't necessarily change. So the pressure and the
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: impact of like your muscles growing on those make it
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: like if someone starts lifting heavy right away, they start
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: maybe a couple months in feeling a lot of pain
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: because their joints aren't used to the pressure of of
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: the weight they're throwing around and their muscle mass. And again,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: it was a little over my head. I'm not into
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: all the biomechanics. That's not my area of expertise. I
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I could see some of that. And
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: you look at some of these guys who are constantly injured,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: it's like, this gets back to the McCaffrey thing. Like,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: how long do you think McCaffrey in the last five
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: years has gone without touching a weights? I can't imagine
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: more than a week. 12 months a year. So, The
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: six months in the offseason, you think a guy goes
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: more than, on average, 36 hours without pushing hardcore weight?
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Bosa's another guy. And you see their body types. Guys
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: are now leaner. There's less huge fat guys in the NFL.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: And again, they were not relative to fat society, like
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: people that are just fat. But they were just big bellies.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: You see offensive and defensive linemen now with abs, And
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: maybe it's just how health conscious we are. We know
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: better foods. I truly believe they spend way more time
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: in the weight room. And what happens, how many people
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: do you know, like I'm more resistance lift than like
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: heavy lift. But like if I push it kind of hard,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: sometimes if you're not doing it right, all of a
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: sudden the next day you're like, Jesus. And that's just
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: one day. We all know those guys that lift really hard.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: They have those days like I pulled something bad, I
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: can't move. And I think that happens a lot to
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: NFL players. And then that leads to them playing football
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: and getting hurt in practice. Because we were talking about this.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: There feels way more injuries now the last five years.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: I just don't remember all these guys in training camps.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: And maybe it's social media. Maybe it's the internet so
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: we know more. like acl tend it just happens non-stop
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: hamstrings there's got to be something i don't have a
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: great answer beside what i theorize AI is considered valuable
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: because it can be used in almost every industry and
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: provide immediate efficiency. Using all the data these statisticians are collecting,
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: would the NFL coaches ever use it to call plays?
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: I feel like tendencies would be a huge advantage for
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: finding better situations. You'd have to have some model calling
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: plays to tell you in real time. So again, that's
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: a little over my head. But I do think they
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: use versions of it now. and they've been using it
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: since I worked in football well before AI, that the tendencies,
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: what you like to do on first, second down, what
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: you like to do in the red zone, what you
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: like to do in short yardage, third and longs, they
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: already have that ability to have a pretty good idea
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: of what you're doing or what your tendencies are. I
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: would say that's the number one job game planning is,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: especially if you're a defensive coordinator, to know offensive tendencies, right?
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: So situationally with down and distance and then, you know,
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: red zone for sure. What you like to do, when
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: you like to do it, out of what formations do
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: you like to do it, who you like to go to.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's football. As a big Panthers fan, I'm
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: seriously starting to question our coaching. Canales has undoubtedly helped
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: the culture of the organization, but he has been there
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: three seasons, either being an offensive coordinator or play caller,
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: and he's never been part of a top 20 offense.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: Not saying he should be fired if the Panthers underperformed,
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: but shouldn't they clean house and bring in a new
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: OC or new coaching staff next year if they cannot
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: crack the top 20 this year? I mean, if he
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: goes to the playoffs back-to-back years, he'd be going nowhere.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to make of the Panthers. I mean,
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: in theory, they're better. They've had a bunch of injuries
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: this preseason. How good is Bryce? Canales is a weird one.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: Feels like a good guy. Done a solid job. But, like,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: they made the playoffs last year at 8-9. So, let's
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: not act like it's Sean McVay. I don't know what
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: to tell you. It's a good question. I'd be stunned
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: if he got fired after this year. Unless they're just
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: a disaster, which hard to see them being a disaster.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: I love attending my son's soccer game. This almost feels
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: like fake. I'm a passionate person and sometimes I get
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: too caught up in the game and make remarks toward
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: the referees, coaches, or the players. How old is your kid?
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: This guy looks pretty young. Recently, the coach asked me
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: to start watching the game from my car to avoid
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: unnecessary contention on the field. While I find the request disrespectful,
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say anything that could negatively affect
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: my child's playing time. What should I do? I mean,
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: unless your kid's going to be Pele or Ronaldo or
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: fucking Messi, just take a deep breath. It's not that
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: big a deal. Some of us are passionate We get excited.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: But like, let your kid just be a kid. You know?
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's, you're talking youth soccer. I would just
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: take a deep breath before you go to these games.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: It's not that serious. And based on your picture, maybe
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: these are your kids. So maybe your kid's in high school.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I would just, unless, I would just
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: try to relax and have a beer. I could go
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: the other way too. It's going to be okay I
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: was listening to Colin today where he said the Chiefs
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: were old in some key spots. However, they got younger
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: in the offseason, moving off a lot of defensive players
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: and drafting a new defensive class. Now they have the
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: second youngest roster in the league. He argues that Chris
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: Jones is old, but they have a rookie Peter Woods
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: and Tonga behind him. While there isn't certainly as much
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: proven depth with Kelsey in the tight end position or
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: wide receiver group, making the pass catching positions for the
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: Chiefs uncertain. Why do people in the media still claim
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs have an old roster and when they're being
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: low on the Chiefs. Their three core players are Mahomes,
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: Chris Jones, and Travis Kelsey. You could argue Humphrey, Trey Smith,
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: but McDuffie was a major key guy for three years
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: for them. And that's a big miss. Now you bring
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: in Delane, who's a high-level player at LSU. But like
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: Chris Jones has always been picked his spots, but now
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: it's like he's still an elite player. And Travis last
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: year just kind of looked long in the tooth. So
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: your best wide receiver rehabbed his knee injury or ankle
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: injury in jail. Worthy feels like he always gets banged up.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: It's a big picture. Yeah, they're definitely morphing their team young.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: I just think sometimes when you're dependent, like the 49ers
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: have a lot of young guys that play, but everyone
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: says they're old as shit. because they're dependent on some
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: old guys. So when you're dependent on old guys, even
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: if you have a youth infusion, they're still going to
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: call your team old, even if by the numbers, your
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: team is way younger now than it used to be. Again,
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: if the Chiefs just win, no one will give a shit.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: I'm pro-NIL and Portal. However, I understand some of the
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: points from the naysayers. NIL killed what made college football
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: so interesting. High-level players putting in max effort for something
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: bigger than the money. Their school. Two, Portal has killed
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: the loyalty and continuity aspect of college football, and it's
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: kind of hard to root for a player when you
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: don't know where he's going to be this week. Ironically,
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: I don't understand the pushback against college players returning after
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: being in the NFL. If they still have eligibility, which
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: is at the very latest 24 years old, what is
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: the actual logical reason for why they shouldn't be able
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: to return? I think one big thing is we've been
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: very conditioned, right? You leave high school, you go to college.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: That's why we make fun of guys that in college
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: hanging out in high school parties, you, you leave college
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: as an athlete, you go pro only a small percentage
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: can make it. But if you don't make it doesn't
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: mean you can come back. Like Cam Newton still has
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: a year of eligibility. Can he still play? Like a
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: lot of guys in the pros have a year of eligibility.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: Pick any player. Like, What if JSN just wanted to
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: play a year at Ohio State? Like, would that make
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: you uncomfortable? Or is it just the shitty guys? Like
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: Daquan Wright. Who... I just think there has to be...
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: Like in any industry... Whether it's the government... Whether it's
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: internal regulation... There has to be some law and order.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: And there has to be some parameters that you abide by.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: And it's like that in the business world. And it's
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: like that in pro sports... There are specific rules. When
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: a joint practice goes on, I can't just go up
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: to the other player and be like, you want to
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: come to my team? He's like, bro, I'm under contract
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: three more years. But in college, after a game, I
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: can go up to a player, hey, text me later.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: We want to have you. So there's just a... Dirtiness
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: is probably the wrong word. But they've overcompensated based on
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: the past history. which clearly has a massive impact. And
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: I also think that after this year, it's very black
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: and white. You got five to play five. So the
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: 22 class potentially gets a little screwed. Some of these
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: guys would not have gone pro and been undrafted free agents.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: They'd still be in college. But like Kirby Smart says,
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: that's happened to every iteration of a certain class when
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: rules have changed while these guys have been in school.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: whether it's been redshirt years, whether it's been the COVID year,
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: like everyone at one point in time gets screwed. So yeah,
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: this class kind of got the short end of the stick.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: We just move on. Who cares? But there just has
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: to be some hard and fast rules. I think that's
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: where most people stand. Just have some consistent rules. Instead
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: of this guessing game of no one knowing ever what
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: is allowed and what's not allowed. And college football has
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: got to this point where it's just like, no one
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: even knows. And I don't think that's healthy. I think
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: there's a balance of like, oh, I don't know. Everyone
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: kind of knows people are negotiating the combine, but no
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: one's ever telling on everybody. It's like, okay, that's fine.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: No one cares. It's like a transfer portal. You can
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: just text a dude on another team. You can't do
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: that in the real world. Someone couldn't just, hey, Middlecoff,
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: I'll give you X, Y, and Z right now to
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: leave and come bring your shit over. No, I have
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: a deal with somebody for the next 15 months, next
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: 24 months, whatever. Non-competes. That's the real world. The NFL
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: and basketball, I can't just sign Steph Curry. He's under contract.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: But in football, nothing ever matters. I would say coaches too.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: In the NFL, I can't just hire Jim Harbaugh if
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: I want, if I'm a team. He's under contract with
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: the Chargers. But in college, like, ah, just try to
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: go get Dan Lanning. He's got a job. with the ducks. Well,
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: try to get them. What? But that's kind of the
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: world we live in. And that's kind of always been college.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: College has always been, which some parts of it are enjoyable,
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: but also some parts I would say get a little
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: exhausting with this stuff. So yeah, I mean, I, I
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: just think people want hard and fast some rules. And listen,
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: some rules, some people get screwed with some rules. That
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: happens in business. If there were no rules, there would
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: be certain companies that would be totally unstoppable. Rules attempt
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: to just level the playing field a little bit. There's
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: never going to be a level playing field in college.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: Texas is always going to have way more money to
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: spend on their college football team than the University of
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: Washington is. right, or, right, Florida State, like, welcome to
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: real life, but if there are some sort of rules
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: in place, then maybe it just allows everyone to have
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: a fighting chance, and right now, just, there isn't one,
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: that's my main beef, just have some parameters, right, it
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: doesn't have to be draconian, but Should you be able
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: to go to a training camp? And again, these guys,
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: where I will defend some, like Daquan Wright, he would
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: never have gone pro if he would have had an
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: extra year of eligibility. He would have just stayed at
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss or gone with Lane to LSU. He would
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: have been in one of those two places. Instead, he
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: thought he didn't have a year, and then they made
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: the announcement after the draft. So I do agree with
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: Lane somewhat that this is a unique situation, though Lane
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: pushed these guys to do the lawsuit. But this situation
• 51:00
