0:00
Hi folks, this rig dog walker the d.o.c.
0:03
This is John kind and you're listening to the mess hall with
0:05
rally captain and tail gate 10. What's going on rally?
0:11
Are you doing, bro, man, I've been hectic.
0:15
It's been hectic with work. I missed in this training class
0:19
and so things been really hectic for me, but other than that, are
0:24
all is good. Let's get it.
0:27
Damn straight, man. All is good.
0:29
Everything's right in the world again.
0:34
That's right. You just can't do it, guys.
0:36
You just can't do it. But as I said, Last we got they
0:40
lost, I said hey you know what, I will give you your props
0:44
because you made it past the first round.
0:45
That's something that my team, our team scuse me hasn't been
0:48
able to do for a while. So I will give you the
0:50
pleasantry and say congratulations.
0:52
But that's as far as it'll go. Yeah.
0:55
Now they can do. Congratulations for me.
0:57
I mean the beautiful thing is they made it out of the first
1:00
round. They're sitting on their couches
1:02
beside us. Yeah, all of those Bama fake
1:06
Cowboy fans jumped on those bandwagons years ago.
1:09
Sorry, breaking all their TVs, all over social media, which I
1:12
don't get. I'm thinking some of those
1:14
videos just you know, TVs probably were already broken
1:18
that they were just thrown on the ground.
1:20
Did you see all this stuff that was popping up?
1:22
You know I saw a little bit of it and and what I can tell you
1:27
is this I think that there may have out of this assay out of
1:31
10. Maybe one that's that's true.
1:34
The others man. You can go to Best Buy or Kmart
1:38
or not Kmart. But Walmart and get a 25 inch TV
1:41
for 15 bucks. So I don't, I think it's all for
1:45
likes clicks, he for real. So so try to resolve.
1:49
Yeah, that's what I believe it is.
1:50
I mean, like I said, when I attend is probably real the
1:53
others now, man, I just did that just because TVs right now so
1:57
cheap you want to show me something go ahead and give me
1:59
that 90-inch. Show me that 90-inch that you
2:02
punch and then we'll have something there.
2:05
All right. Yeah, zero chance and I could
2:07
have sworn I slow down. Why the Oops, and it wasn't even
2:10
the same Cowboys game because they weren't wearing the same
2:12
uniform, you know, it's just different stuff like that.
2:15
You got people yelling and talking but the good news is
2:18
because they made it out of the first round in the playoffs.
2:21
Now they have the 26 selection in the draft so we don't got to
2:25
worry about them in the draft jumping up and grabbing someone
2:28
above us, because I'm still salty that they got my to
2:31
Parsons and we got who we got in that draft.
2:34
But the Giants are sitting. On the couch, they got waxed, I
2:38
was a top go. Golf on a Saturday night, it was
2:41
one of my crew members birthdays, you know?
2:42
My man Tim. Yeah, it's always out there
2:45
feeding shots to everybody. It was his birthday, so we all
2:48
got together as a crew and we watch the game at Top, Golf and
2:52
mrs. Tailgate came out, had a couple
2:53
balls and I just stared at the goblin.
2:57
All right, it was in Maryland so I could live BET, right?
3:01
So, that was another beauty of it, and it was also another
3:04
downside because Another for bets, I place this weekend and
3:09
didn't hit a single one. And I keep telling myself, I'm
3:13
going to stop but I just can't quit it man.
3:16
While the football season, still going have a problem, gambling
3:19
one, 800-gallon. They get you, man.
3:24
It's like, you know, you put how much down and then you get it
3:27
back the next week. Yeah.
3:29
I mean you know because those that you know, I bet on FanDuel.
3:32
So if you put anywhere, it's like 5 to 100.
3:36
Is down on a bet. It's a no-risk bet because you
3:40
just get it back the next week in credit.
3:42
Well, then I think, I'll no worries.
3:43
I'll just get it back next week on a, you know, a guaranteed
3:45
bet. Well, there's no such thing as
3:48
you guarantee, bet. And now, all of it, how about
3:53
you this weekend, actually? I.
3:56
So, I'm about 50 50. So, I lost one on a parley.
4:00
But then I want to run another one if I'm not mistaken, I'm not
4:03
sure if this was a joke or not, but it look like this one.
4:05
Kid bed. At five dollars.
4:08
For on a foreleg parlay, anyone 72,000.
4:13
And I'm not sure if that was true or not, but it looked real
4:16
and I'm like, goddamn, how come I couldn't be on that side of a
4:20
parley, man? I mean five bucks, get you
4:22
72,000? Who wouldn't do that?
4:25
The problem is it's just such long odds mean you can put that
4:28
in all day long but there's just, you know, the odds of you
4:31
hitting that is obviously ridiculous.
4:33
And no, it is true. Whoever this person was well,
4:36
you'd probably pick. Yeah, the first touchdown.
4:38
Down score in all four divisional, playoff games in
4:42
cash large parlor. So one was on DraftKings, the
4:46
guy one 185-thousand dollars and you put ten dollars down and the
4:52
other guy Five-dollar down on school in one seventy two
4:57
thousand, seven hundred ninety, five dollars, I mean, but for
5:00
those that don't bet you know you have to bet who's going to
5:04
score the first touchdown that game.
5:06
So the odds of you getting that is obviously high as hell.
5:10
The guy hit Travis Kelce for the Chiefs, he hit Dallas Goddard
5:17
for the Eagles, he hits Jamar Chase and then he won on the
5:23
battlefield. Bangles upsetting the bills.
5:26
So I mean, you know me picking that it's like it just did
5:31
happen. I thought Dak would have had at
5:34
least two touchdowns in that game, going against San Fran,
5:38
and that didn't happen. I thought Josh Alan would have
5:41
did something, but that didn't happen.
5:43
I mean, man, that he's an attorney's 0, tardies.
5:48
And then he's sitting in his locker crying his ass off and
5:51
then digs Basically left the locker room before everyone
5:56
else, even got back there and people are all salty and pissed
5:58
off at him, but I don't fault that manner.
6:01
Blame Batman for showing emotion, and getting upset.
6:03
I mean, I think I told a story when we were in Seattle and it
6:08
was the Year Shawn passed away in 2007, and we got knocked out
6:11
of the playoffs and I'm in the locker room area, because I had
6:16
a friend that played for the Redskins at the time and there
6:19
were guys laughing and joking like we won the game and I I
6:23
couldn't believe it and those guys subsequently weren't on the
6:26
team the next year, but I like to see players that have that
6:30
heart, you just got your ass kicked at home in the playoffs
6:35
and you're done until next year. So yeah take it hard.
6:39
Give that man. A break, you know I mean what
6:41
are your thoughts on that? Well bro.
6:45
So I remember being in a playoff game back in high school and You
6:53
were in a kind of in a similar situation to where the game was
6:58
over and we we took an L, but the laughing that was going on.
7:04
It wasn't the fact that we were laughing that we lost obviously
7:07
we were just so happy that finally, we could go back to
7:12
living our normal lives man because our time the coach that
7:16
we had at the time. He didn't allow any breaks so
7:19
most times we were in the playoffs you know, you don't
7:22
practice full Pads. We stayed in full pads through
7:26
the playoffs, and so when we finally lost it was just like a
7:29
relief, a sigh of relief and a lot of people can't understand
7:33
that. So, two on one hand, I
7:35
understand what they're what they're going through because I
7:39
went through it was it was like a I hated losing but after I got
7:42
past it was like a sigh of relief man also weight lifted
7:46
off your shoulders regardless of the outcome.
7:47
Yeah and so and so that's what it basically boiled down to
7:50
show. I mean it wasn't like I said we
7:54
were just happy that we were losing that we lost know.
7:56
It was a fact that it was I really a weight of our shoulders
7:59
and we could just finally just relax and not have to worry
8:04
about putting those damn helmets on it for another week even
8:08
though we would have loved it going to the state championship,
8:10
don't get me wrong we would love to but it was just the fact that
8:13
I'm not there. I think that if the coach would
8:16
have treated it differently than a regular week, you know we made
8:20
it this far. We know how to tackle, We can
8:23
wipe change up the momentum, you know, I mean, but he did, he
8:26
didn't do that. And so we would just burnt out.
8:29
So, that's, that's what it boils out to.
8:30
So, but, you know, I went there, my, what they say, they're like
8:35
five stages of grief. And so, I went, I went through
8:38
all five of those that night in ended up.
8:40
The last one was, It was kind of chuckling and people could
8:43
understand that. So, yeah, I get it.
8:47
Yeah. It's, you know, I dig, you know,
8:49
obviously, from this are went to school out this area just People
8:53
jumping on him for it and, you know, to me he's showing heart
8:56
and everyone takes losses differently.
8:58
Yeah. And I get that and he's a leader
9:01
on that team. And, you know, seeing him and
9:03
Josh Allen get into a fight on the sideline.
9:05
And I just that was the one game this weekend that I really
9:08
thought was going to be a good one.
9:10
And I think that's no had something to do with it.
9:12
Didn't really work out and buffaloes favor, and it was kind
9:15
of frustrating to watch, but I am happy that the Bangles are
9:19
going to get a chance to hopefully.
9:21
Knock out the Chiefs. And I remember you, In me
9:24
earlier, on before the playoffs started, which quarterback did I
9:27
think was going to have the most passing yards and I said Josh
9:30
Allen because I thought a they had an extra game compared to
9:34
the Chiefs because they had to play Wildcard Weekend.
9:38
They didn't have that by and I thought that they were actually
9:40
going to make it farther than they did and I'm wrong.
9:44
So we'll see what happens next week.
9:47
Well, what bit still going strong, brother.
9:53
So we go hopefully ride this wave of but you might have a
9:56
good point. Give me your thoughts on the
9:58
whole snow game. Do you feel the game should be
10:02
played in the snow like that? Or should they be in a dome or
10:05
someplace like that? Now, there's gotta be played in
10:10
the elements. This is football, this isn't
10:12
baseball. This isn't tennis mean that's
10:15
how the game has always been played.
10:16
Now having the Super Bowl at a neutral site in good weather
10:21
then yes. But if You earned home-field
10:24
Advantage, then you're used to playing in that kind of weather
10:28
use that to your advantage. So they didn't.
10:33
And I think the Bengals had such a chip on their shoulder from
10:37
everybody talking about the Chiefs and the Bills playing in
10:41
Atlanta and selling tickets to that game.
10:43
And for those of our listeners, that don't know because of the
10:46
whole Damar ham, one of the game getting cancelled in this and
10:48
that the NFL decided that if the bills won that game, There were
10:53
going to play, Kansas City in Atlanta at, whatever
10:56
Mercedes-Benz stadium. And the Bangles were pissed
10:59
about that and I don't blame them.
11:01
You know, sometimes it's that extra motivation that you need
11:04
to get you over that home or to make it when it's, you know, two
11:07
degrees out feels like it's 40 degrees out because it just
11:10
doesn't matter your Bloods boiling him.
11:12
Did you see Burrows, comment and the postgame show.
11:15
No, I didn't buy that time. I was in the bed trying to get
11:20
myself mentally prepared for training this.
11:23
Week, so know what? Well, I heard about it but I
11:27
didn't hear what he exactly he tweeted.
11:30
So can you break it down for me, too?
11:31
He basically said, you know, the NFL better send out those
11:35
refunds for all those fans that bought those tickets for the AFC
11:40
Championship game. I don't like them at all, man.
11:44
And I'm I'm pulling for him because I like the end I'm
11:47
getting shot. And you know so ever since
11:50
Kansas City came here and Mahone His little brother danced on
11:54
Sean, Taylor's number, they're dead to me, I can care less
11:58
about that team. I'll try and Voodoo curse them
12:01
every team I bet on losing. So I might put money down on the
12:04
Chiefs this week because I think that might be the first to make
12:07
sure they lose again of the Bangles.
12:09
Well, we know Mahomes, you know, I did see that that's praying
12:12
that he, that he actually fractured his leg.
12:14
To be honest with you. That's how I was thinking, but
12:16
they said it was, it wasn't broken anywhere, but I do
12:19
believe, we're going to see a totally different Mahomes.
12:23
You know, without his Mobility. Can he be the same?
12:26
And I don't think that he I mean I don't think he can but I think
12:29
he's still a good quarterback, but I don't think his Mobility
12:33
is what makes him do, the things that he can do and in the back
12:36
of your mind, if you know that your ailing that adds and that
12:40
another element to this whole thing.
12:42
So I'm looking forward to that as well and see if they're going
12:46
to be able to take them down. Yeah I fingers crossed.
12:49
They can I'll put some money down on the homes to have two
12:52
Down because that never happens with whoever I bet on.
12:55
So maybe that'll hopefully seal their fate, but the Niners game,
12:59
man. It's just seeing them that last
13:03
play. I don't know what the hell Mike
13:04
McCarthy was thinking, but I can watch that replay of Zeke at
13:09
Center getting just rolled over on repeat all day long man.
13:14
Peter oh he got Peter wrote. Anybody want to know the
13:17
definitely the Peter role. Was he got Peter road that was
13:21
just it was a thing of 30 and I kept waiting for party to
13:26
regress and be that rookie that everyone's been claiming he is.
13:32
But other than one throw, they got tipped at the line.
13:36
They had a damn good game man. And it just yeah.
13:39
Kyle Shanahan man is just I sat there and thought what we could
13:45
be or what could have been if Kyle actually stayed here, we
13:50
didn't run that family out of town because We had four
13:54
quarterbacks play one year, he's on his third and they're going
13:58
to be in the NFC championship game.
13:59
I mean, it's that guy is game plan to play calling and just
14:02
the way he schemes things up. Where there aren't a lot of
14:06
weaknesses in his game. Other than, you know, not being
14:08
able to hold off points in a Super Bowl.
14:11
But to be able to get there again, man, I just hats off to
14:14
them and I'm curious how that kid reacts this weekend in
14:18
Philly. That's going to be a good game
14:21
and let's face it. We gave everyone the blueprint
14:26
on how to be fiddly we did. And so I know they're that
14:31
they're they're different Philadelphia from when we play
14:34
them. But I think that San Fran has
14:37
enough talent to get over the hump from those guys and I think
14:42
what you're going to see also as you're going to see more use of
14:46
Jalen's legs this week. Oh yeah.
14:51
Yeah, the Eagles are giving up two and a half points at home,
14:55
which you know, not shocking. So I'm curious to see what they
14:59
do though because the Eagles did beef up their run defense but
15:04
McCaffrey talking about ankle sprains he's hurt to.
15:07
He's kind of banged up so curious to see how he bounces
15:11
back because if they can't get that ball moving on the ground
15:14
and the Eagles are just going to key in on Purdy and a lot of his
15:17
throws other than that one to Kettle over.
15:20
The Middle where he made that amazing juggling catch mean a
15:24
decent amount of his throws are closer to the line and the
15:27
Eagles can press those receivers in not give him those.
15:30
So it's going to come down to. Can they turn them
15:34
one-dimensional? But I'm getting my popcorn man.
15:37
It's going to be a fun Championship weekend and I have
15:39
four tickets to every Super Bowl that I get from a guy in Philly.
15:43
That's connected to NFL films. The only caveat is, if the
15:48
Eagles are in it, I don't get the tickets.
15:50
It's so I'm hoping that obviously they're knocked out
15:55
because NFC East, no one wants to see the Eagles in the big
15:58
game and then something that again sell those tickets.
16:02
Not again, we don't want to see the guy eating horse crap.
16:04
We don't want Except I am curious to see if they would
16:09
Grease the light poles in Philly, again, to stop people
16:11
from climbing a minute, you know, they will man.
16:14
Come on. I've been sorry the store man, I
16:17
got attacked by a squirrel when I was in Fairly.
16:20
No. I was at Temple University and I
16:24
was out there for a meeting and this guy's like we can take you
16:28
anywhere. You want to go for lunch, you
16:29
want to go to Fogo de Chao. You want to go to Budokan
16:32
wherever you want to go. He wanted to go to a pizza place
16:36
on campus. Okay.
16:39
Squirrel. Jumped on our table and took the
16:43
piece of pizza out of my hand and bit the side.
16:45
My face, I had to go get rabies shots.
16:48
I mean this. What, that's how much I hate
16:51
that City and they hate me back is they've got their freaking
16:53
squirrel, rodents attacking me, man.
16:55
It's just, I'm trying to con file for workman's comp and my
16:58
company didn't believe me that I had to send them the medical
17:02
bill and everything else. Like now, you just making that
17:04
up, you don't want to go to this conference coming up next week.
17:06
Like, no, I got attacked by a squirrel in Philly, because it
17:10
knew I was a Redskins fan and they said that thing after
17:12
program. That's crazy, man.
17:14
I can't believe that. It happened.
17:17
I really can't. That's another reason why I
17:19
can't stand that town, but speaking of crazy, the latest
17:25
ownership news, it feels like something comes out every week
17:29
and we come up with our topics because, you know, you've got
17:32
stuff. You're looking up, I'm looking
17:33
up stuff. If you type in Washington
17:35
Commander's right now, on Google Bing, Yahoo, whatever.
17:40
All you get is Jeff Bezos links and it's kind of annoying
17:44
because think was the New York Post came out with the article
17:48
the other day. Talking about Jeff Bezos is
17:52
going to sell the Washington Post, so he can buy the
17:55
Washington Commanders. Is that confirmed or just a
17:59
rumor? It was a rumor.
18:01
Nothing confirmed and you manned Aaron Haynes came out after the
18:04
fact contesting it a bunch of local people came out after the
18:07
fact and testing it Bezos went to the Washington Post Offices
18:12
and talked about layoffs. This was a little bit back and
18:19
rumor is that he was trying to sell the post but the thing is
18:22
why would him selling the post, have anything to do with him
18:26
buying the Commanders Doesn't need the money.
18:29
He has more than enough money without selling a post.
18:33
Hmm. There is nothing forbidding and
18:35
NFL owner to own a media Outlet if he wants to be an owner and
18:44
it's all out there that Snyder's hate Bezos because they feel
18:50
that the Washington Post did all these investigations to get them
18:54
to sell the team. So do people really think Think
18:58
that Snyder's going to all of a sudden forgive Bezos if he sells
19:01
the post and say, yeah, sure. Come by my team or forget that
19:05
Bezos and the post ran those stories.
19:07
Oh, Jeff. It's okay.
19:08
You you know, ran all those expose as on us but now that you
19:14
sold the post, sure. I'll also the team to you.
19:16
I mean, I don't understand how the to matter or correlate at
19:21
all. I'm at a loss for words man
19:27
because we know Byron Allen, you know, he owns when I mistaking
19:31
The Weather Channel or in a bunch of other media outlets and
19:35
he was neck and neck with the Denver Broncos purchase of
19:38
Denver Broncos. Yeah, so like you said that
19:41
doesn't matter. So I'm at a loss for words.
19:43
As far as that's concerned. I think that people right now
19:46
are just so hungry for some type of story.
19:50
Any type of story that they will just come out Say anything man
19:53
to for those clicks, you know, for those likes it is so at this
19:59
point it goes back to, I just make it happen and when it's in
20:05
black and white, then we'll go from there.
20:07
But all this rumor mill stuff, just kills me, man.
20:10
It is annoying because it's just, it's constant and I think
20:14
you're right. I think they know that fans and
20:17
people just any news about Snyder, the sale of the team.
20:22
Team people and, you know, our Circle, just eat that stuff up
20:29
and click on it and follow and then just try and figure things
20:32
out. And the latest one now is about
20:35
that MLB franchise as it was up for sale and trying to remember
20:40
which franchise it was, but the owners decided not to sell it
20:45
anymore and they took it off the market.
20:47
So now everyone's freaking out saying, oh my gosh, what have
20:50
Snyder decides to do this and to Take it off the market and this
20:53
and that like, well if that happens, it happens there's you
20:57
know, we've been saying on our show, there is nothing forcing
21:01
him to sell the team this year so everyone is just hope not I'm
21:08
not ever that person. That texted me that I got into
21:10
an argument where that I'm still having spoken to other than that
21:13
person. Everyone is helping that the
21:16
team is sold this year. I'm just telling fans don't
21:21
Don't get your hopes up yet because there is no reason for
21:25
that to happen in the marriage of what reports not here.
21:28
And he didn't get the money that he was told it was due.
21:34
So, you know, I talked to my rep about renewing, my season
21:38
tickets. We talked about this last week,
21:41
you know, I just talked to them about throwing a credit card
21:43
down to see how I can handle this thing and make these
21:46
payments. If you got fans out there
21:48
saying, well, I'm not going to get my tickets next year.
21:51
Until he's gone. Don't let that be the reason you
21:54
don't go back to FedEx Field. If you know, don't hold your
21:57
breath exactly, you know your Manoj because there's so many
22:02
things that are just up in the air and there's only so much
22:05
speculation until the owners meetings happen in March.
22:09
I think there's just going to be rumors upon rumors upon rumors
22:12
about you mentioned Byron Allen, all these guys that could
22:16
potentially buy this thing and not saying that the New York
22:19
Post was You are opposed to the New York, daily news.
22:22
Can't remember who came up with the story, but whoever came up
22:26
with that story, I think there's going to be, I was a New York
22:28
Post which are just gonna be more of it and more of it, and
22:31
more of it and Not tell people what to do.
22:35
I'm just ignoring it until you know, a JP Finley or John Connor
22:41
or someone that we know and respect in this area reports it
22:45
and sends it. Yeah yeah.
22:47
I'm I'm not I'm not buying into it just not going to do it.
22:51
So I probably will miss a lot of the fighter and that'll make me
22:56
keep some of my hair's black on my head versus the current of
22:59
gray. Yeah I actually mrs.
23:03
Was talking. To be about potentially dying my
23:04
hair because I got to do a TV show coming up with a Food
23:09
Network guy and nice. It's like I've been shaving my
23:14
head as short as possible I got an event tomorrow so I got to
23:16
you know share of after the show and this is that but you can
23:19
still see the whites coming out and it's years of rooting for
23:23
this franchise and being a DC Sports Fan man.
23:27
Yeah and I'd say I wish that I could just ignore it but you
23:31
know, 6:00 in the morning one. 67 the fans on in my house up
23:36
until you know, 6:00 at night just going back and forth
23:38
between them and 980. So it it definitely envelops
23:42
everything I do. It's why I wanted to do this
23:44
show with you but things that, you know, I don't want to
23:50
ignore, we asked our listeners. What are your top?
23:54
Three commanders on the field needs this offseason So I just
24:00
want to focus on the field stuff that matters.
24:04
Yes, is a nose. So before we get into some of
24:07
the responses, we got from our listeners, what are one of your
24:11
offseason must Focus needs. I'll agree to.
24:16
Let me give you two. I know you see it three but I'll
24:18
give you two. Well, I'm sure you ask for one
24:20
but I'll give you two. I asked you for one so we could
24:21
go back and forth. Yeah well well well the first
24:25
and foremost thing is offensive line.
24:28
We've got to be able Bill to protect whoever is going to be
24:32
our quarterback, whoever our, our running backs, we've got to
24:37
be able to do that. And, you know, I've said it time
24:41
of time. Again, that for years, at least
24:46
six years in the making, all we did was bolster our defensive
24:50
line and it showed this year, but we never put that same
24:56
effort into our offensive line. So, I'm hoping that we Put that
25:00
same effort into our offensive line.
25:02
What say, you know I agree with you and when I think about the
25:07
offseason I think about which one of our buyers would start on
25:14
the Chiefs would start on the Eagles, you know would start on
25:18
the night of the teams that are still in the hunt and I can't
25:23
think of one offensive lineman that we have on our roster that
25:27
would qualify to play for those. Teams in mean you got Charles
25:32
Lino. I think Charles could be gone
25:35
heading into this offseason. He's got a easycap number to
25:39
potentially get rid of and he's getting a little long.
25:43
In the tooth, you've got nor, well, the guy was horrible.
25:47
You know, City Charles has backup, didn't really do much,
25:50
Chris Paul, you know, rookie coming in, but at Center, you've
25:56
got a huge hole there. You know, Chase Rudy a two years
25:59
in a row. Her tell her Larson, two years
26:01
in a row hurt, you know, Nick Martin guys shouldn't even be on
26:06
our roster but we're so we can offensive line.
26:08
It's just a big problem. And okay, Right Guard, you've
26:12
got Trey, Turner who we all know how that panned out.
26:16
Didn't at all the only saving grace is Sam Kazmir, who you
26:20
drafted to be a right tackle, you could move him into Right
26:24
Guard. So to me you have one offensive
26:27
lineman Going into the off season that's worth anything.
26:31
The others can go. The question is, who are you
26:35
going to get? And how are you going to replace
26:37
it because you can't count on all of these guys being draft
26:41
picks. I mean, we can't go in to next
26:44
season with four rookies and a somewhat vet.
26:48
So, you know, there's one offensive lineman just looking
26:52
here on the top. 50 free agents for 2023.
26:57
Orlando Brown for the Kansas City Chiefs.
27:00
Apparently, he's a free agent this year, he's 27 years old, I
27:04
mean, he's slated to be the best offensive, lineman out there in
27:09
the offseason. I mean, we've got to do
27:11
something about it. We've got to fix it.
27:13
Somehow. I am just concerned that we're
27:16
going to be hamstrung with who's signing the checks and how much
27:23
can they actually spend? How much can the Marty's
27:27
actually go out and offer to people?
27:29
Because I think March 15th is when the new league year starts.
27:32
So how active are we going to be?
27:34
Or are we going to go for instead of the top five guy, you
27:39
know, the 105th guy because we've got cap space, but we're
27:43
not allowed to spend it. Now there's just a lot of
27:46
question marks there, but a bunch of our listeners reply
27:50
back and every single one of them said offensive line in
27:55
their top three and I completely agree.
27:58
We need to do something to bolster that position.
28:02
It's just a position of need that has just been so weak for
28:05
so long. I mean I miss Donald Penn being
28:07
here. You know that's how bad I think
28:10
our offensive line is if you remember how old that guy was
28:12
when we pulled out of mothballs. Wow.
28:15
Well what we're seeing is Good example, San Francisco.
28:22
You could almost and I use the word almost so so don't murder
28:26
me. You could almost put any
28:29
quarterback back there and I believe they would get the same
28:32
results as party because of the offensive line that they have
28:37
and the amount of time that they give him to be able to throw the
28:40
ball in serrated field. So I'm thinking that if we can
28:46
Populate, our offensive line. And we have if we went into it
28:52
with, since he is qb1 right now Sam, how we can make some things
28:56
happen because we have weapons, San Francisco has weapons.
29:00
Now granted totally different offense, totally different play
29:03
calling and all they've got is totally different.
29:05
I get it there but the mere fact is, if you got those pieces in
29:10
place on the offensive line the quarterback and be okay so I'm
29:18
looking at San Fran winning it all bro.
29:23
I hope summer history that a rookie Right.
29:29
This one is Super Bowl for not mistaken.
29:31
Marino made it as a rookie, but he didn't win it.
29:35
Yeah, one. Yeah.
29:36
So I just No, I hope you're right.
29:40
I just think it's a lot of pressure on the young man's
29:43
shoulders and we'll see how he handles it.
29:47
The Saving Grace. Is he started four years in
29:49
college. He's got a lot of reps under his
29:52
belt, but he's only played 11 and FL games, I think is 11.
29:56
I gotta go back and look at the numbers but regardless, it's
29:59
just a lot of pressure, but it's that line he has seeing what
30:03
Trent Williams did to Michael Parsons, just made me angry that
30:08
we let him. Go for nothing.
30:11
Yeah, and just how that whole situation was handled, that man
30:14
is going to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
30:17
I'm sure of it doubt. He's going to go in as a Redskin
30:21
or Commander, the way he was done dirty here - franchise and
30:26
I don't blame them at all. And I'm a Trent fan and I was
30:29
hoping we're going to go to the playoffs and go out there so I
30:32
can actually catch up with him to be out there.
30:34
But Just what Shanahan has done with that team and the way he
30:38
schemes things up. I also think that that gives his
30:40
offensive line, you know, more room.
30:44
If you will just to be able to scheme different things and not
30:47
leave his Lyman on an island more latitude.
30:50
Exactly. All right.
30:51
I totally agree with you and we still don't have an offensive
30:55
coordinator and I think it's going to be some time before
30:58
that happens because I think it was a pea from NBC Sports
31:02
Washington. PA Haley said that out of the
31:04
seven. Offensive coordinator jobs.
31:06
Ours is the fifth most attractive and I don't disagree.
31:10
I'm not trying to be negative here.
31:11
It's just looking at it. We talked about it, you know,
31:14
it's just it's a potential one, your job, you know.
31:17
And when I was starting off in my career, I was offered a temp
31:22
to hire job that I had to take because I was on a contract and
31:27
then they could potentially hire me at the end of the contract to
31:30
bring me on board before the contract was done.
31:33
It's not like that. With this, in the NFL, You may
31:35
only have one shot to be a no. See.
31:38
And then you shoot your shot in a place that isn't as favorable
31:42
or isn't going to give you the weapons, you need to succeed and
31:46
then you don't get another shot to be an OC 5 6 years down the
31:50
road. So do you set yourself back?
31:54
But for me the position that I definitely want them in, need
32:00
them to focus on and it's a position that has somewhat
32:04
diminished. Stan, the NFL but linebacker.
32:09
I need another linebacker opposite of Jamin Davis.
32:14
I felt that at the end of the year when we didn't have Cam
32:17
curl and I know cams not a linebacker but he comes up and
32:21
creeps with that line. We had no coal.
32:23
Holcomb Amon got Tire, he got and murdered back to the Jamin
32:30
that Del Rio through under the bus, in the beginning of the
32:33
season. And we need to start a I'm
32:38
sorry, I just go back to my thing.
32:41
We'll call Holcomb play on any of these playoff teams.
32:46
Would he start for any of these playoff teams and for me, if the
32:50
answer is no, then we need to upgrade it at that position once
32:54
a year. Well Dad, yeah, it hit it, hit
33:00
it, hit it and because I'm calling your name that many
33:03
times, I let you know the quandary that I'm in brother.
33:07
No, we know that he wouldn't be, he'll probably be able to play
33:10
for those quads, but that's all we have right now.
33:14
It had four years, there's a problem we have addressed it.
33:19
What was it? What was the boy's name Foster?
33:21
I want to say Foster was, I think the biggest splash
33:23
linebacker into the got hurt. Those.
33:25
He's never ER, played a down for us?
33:28
Yeah, it's Achilles I mean, but he was, he was, what I'm saying
33:31
is he was the biggest splash before he got hurt.
33:34
He was the biggest splash of linebacker that we brought in
33:37
and then it was a freak accident and he tore his Achilles and he
33:42
likes a, he never played again. What, what was his something
33:44
Repulsor? Ruben boss.
33:46
Yeah. Ribbon Foster and a Cisco as a
33:48
matter of fact, right? Yeah.
33:49
He got in trouble in San Francisco and people were
33:51
yelling and screaming about them.
33:53
We took him in over here because you know where that Person that
33:57
thinks that we can rehabilitate everybody and it just it didn't
34:00
work out here and it's just it's frustrating to me that a
34:06
defensive head coach a linebacker for the 85 Bears.
34:10
Jack Del Rio also play the same position that we can't get that
34:14
position straight and when you've got, you know, David mayo
34:18
and John Bostick on your depth chart.
34:20
Back it up Jamin Davis, you gotta huge hole there.
34:24
You've got a big problem and linebacker is something that
34:27
needs to be addressed. And if we can address it in this
34:30
draft, you know, I want a big, massive huge guy that smells
34:38
like bacon with a 16th pick. I need an offensive lineman to
34:42
be that anchor with the 16th pick, but if we can potentially
34:47
get a linebacker that has a potential down the road to go
34:51
beside Jamin and learn, hopefully Colton comes back.
34:55
Is I think has a free agent if I'm not mistaken.
35:01
But I'm not sure something that we've got to do to address that
35:05
and looking at the latest contract.
35:07
Yeah. Holcomb is an unrestricted free
35:09
agent. So he's not even on the roster
35:12
for next season. So really from a depth
35:15
perspective you know who you've got it linebacker right now.
35:20
I mean khaliq Hudson Nate Gerry there's not a lot of names on
35:26
here. That's Just and exude fear.
35:32
If you're an offense coming up against us and we don't be,
35:35
don't be surprised if they don't sign Holcomb.
35:36
Just because of the familiarity aspect of things, I mean that's
35:39
just that's just how it is, bro. I mean and he's a, he's a he's a
35:45
guy that has performed when we have asked them to.
35:48
I mean, he's missing things but because of they know who he is,
35:51
I wouldn't be surprised if he's back, man.
35:53
Oh I don't doubt it that mean they brought John Bostic back
35:56
because he knew the system. You know, they didn't bring any
35:59
other people in here. I mean there was a chance to
36:01
bring in and trade for a linebacker and Grant it was an
36:03
unrealistic trade because of our cap space.
36:06
It's just that to me is one position that I really want them
36:10
to focus on getting right and going back and looking at what
36:13
our listeners responded back with all of them except for one
36:18
or two people agreed, that linebacker is a position to need
36:23
the other person was just kind of being a nasty quarterback for
36:26
all three. And the other guy said, you
36:29
know, shutdown corner and you know, those aren't easy to find
36:34
those aren't easy to get. But what would another position
36:37
be for you that we need to focus on and strengthen up this
36:41
offseason? I'm going to say something that
36:45
I saw from San Francisco Raven. Cloud special teams man we got
36:50
to have our op, 1 return and kickoff return.
36:52
We've got to have that better for us man.
36:55
And we saw eyes We saw what the what Turpin was able to do for
37:01
Dallas? Boo.
37:02
But hey, I know you got, you got to say what it is.
37:04
We saw other than the fumble from Mary McLeod.
37:08
Dude, that that that man was on fire.
37:11
Yeah, yeah, it's sweet. We need that speed.
37:15
You can't teach speed. You can't coach it.
37:19
You got it. You just have it.
37:21
And right now we don't have it as far as in the in the kickoff
37:25
return or punt return game. So that's something else that I
37:29
feel. We got to have, man.
37:31
Yeah, I mean, letting Joshua Carter go for nothing really but
37:35
I don't think that that was in the Commander's favor.
37:39
Anyway, I feel that he wanted to play Closer to California where
37:43
his family is. Yeah, you know, you and I, we
37:46
spent time with his pops when we're out in Vegas.
37:48
Seeing them in different tailgates on the road.
37:50
Things like that. It's just Dax Milne.
37:54
He was a liability. Now you're sitting there and
37:57
you're holding your breath, every time.
37:59
Wondering, is he gonna catch? It, is he going to fair?
38:01
Catch it. Is he gonna fumble it?
38:03
Oh, he caught it. He Fair caught it at the five.
38:06
He should let that thing go. I mean, but I'm not putting all
38:10
do on his. There were times when on
38:13
kickoffs and do things like that.
38:15
He had people like you watch other teams like they're not
38:19
getting contacted until like the 16 or the 20.
38:23
I felt like our coverage. We had guys on Milne at the 5
38:29
and if the 10, like, when he was just feeling the ball at times
38:32
and I think that goes down and just the blocking up front and
38:36
Rivera likes to have guys, with what he calls position Flex a
38:42
guy that can play center and guard a guy that can play
38:46
safety, and a guy that can play lime, you know, just different
38:50
positions on the field, get it, I get it.
38:53
It it I'm tired of it. Yeah man, I get it and we but
38:57
here's the thing. We saw what AG did when he was
39:00
back there. Returning kickoffs.
39:04
Yeah. It gave us a little bit of a
39:05
spark more. So then then then Dax did ever
39:09
so, but as far as that whole, I get it.
39:12
You want guys to be able who can who can play multiple positions
39:15
to maximize their potential to get into the game?
39:17
Just in case somebody happens, I get it.
39:21
But at some point in time, You got to have a dog that just
39:25
knows his position and his position only, you know.
39:29
Hey, Matt we are we there yet? Probably not, probably not.
39:35
But you know you because of so many years of drafting that type
39:39
of player you're not there but at some point I'm you the tide
39:42
is got to return got to turn. I just, I just hope that at this
39:50
point, we're Wishing on a Star for the results to change in 23,
39:55
later this year. So I will always wish for the
39:58
best. You know, I will always wish for
40:01
the best but something just tells me we're going to just be
40:04
where we are man. But for me, it's give me some
40:09
studs that are damn good at their job and can do it.
40:14
Well, not a guy that that can do a couple of things.
40:20
Okay. Yeah, you know, give me that
40:22
rocks and to me, that's Terry, that's John.
40:26
We got two guys on our team that are badasses and that can do
40:30
their job and everything that's asked of them.
40:33
Other than that, I feel that we've got a bunch of other guys
40:37
on our team, and this isn't fair, because obviously, there's
40:39
a salary cap and things like that.
40:40
And some of these players Ron inherited from the previous
40:44
regime. But it's just that mentality of
40:49
having a jack-of-all-trades. There's a saying you can be a
40:54
mile wide in your skill set but go an inch deep or would you
40:58
rather go a mile deep and be an inch wide and be that good and
41:03
that focused on that task and for our team I want that guy
41:08
that's a mile deep in his Knowledge and Skills at that
41:12
position. And be an inch wide knowing that
41:15
this is what you focus on. This is what you do and you kick
41:18
ass at it and you be the best that your position at it and you
41:21
be an All-Pro. What you know, obviously he's a
41:23
punter but trust, the guys are freaking rock star.
41:25
He's a stop. Yeah, so you're saying you don't
41:27
want a Swiss army knife. You don't want help.
41:29
Jake'll, you don't want that you.
41:30
I've and I trust me, I get it. You want to open that blade up
41:34
and only get only one blade comes out.
41:35
It can cut your deep. I got ya, I want to switch
41:38
players. I don't want to Swiss army
41:40
knife. I need that one thing.
41:42
That's all it does. Does and, you know, we focus on
41:45
that and we get better at it and, you know, you bringing
41:48
William Jackson the third here and you try and change him from
41:54
a man corner to his own Corner in this.
41:57
And that, why don't you just bring someone in here that fits
42:00
your system and what you want to do?
42:02
And then we kind of see how that goes and how that rolls.
42:04
Yeah, so I mean, the other position for me that I would
42:09
like them to focus on obviously, you know.
42:13
Her back we need, that's too obvious but I need more depth at
42:18
corner. I need better DBS because other
42:21
than Benjamin saying juice when bsj went down, You know, Fuller
42:25
isn't the same Kendall Fuller from two years ago, we don't
42:29
have a strong secondary and that concerns me heading into this
42:35
offseason. How do we fix that?
42:37
Bobby McCain? You know, he to me is liability
42:41
Christian homes. Liability is some of these guys
42:44
and there's only so much you can do.
42:46
You can't have studied that every single position.
42:48
Every team has a weakness. Yeah but your defensive line
42:53
hopefully makes up for that weakness in the secondary.
42:55
But we saw how Wild Goose got picked on.
42:58
We saw how Christian homes got picked on when they were out
43:01
there. And these were guys that were
43:05
practiced Squad players, for other teams that were cut down,
43:08
cut when it came down to 53, that we picked up.
43:11
You got to have better than that on your roster.
43:14
You can't all get lucky and find a camp curl in the seventh round
43:18
and have them actually develop into what he is.
43:20
Yeah, everyone's not going to hit on that for leg parlay, it
43:23
just ain't gonna happen. And you can you can try to
43:26
strike it but you're not going to get gold all the time and and
43:30
and that's what we're facing right now.
43:33
Yeah, it's those to me are the most important positions we need
43:38
to focus on our top. Needs not talking about, you
43:41
know, re-signing Durant. I mean, what are your thoughts
43:45
on offering him that contract? Do you give him that big deal?
43:53
That's going to be larger than what John Allen got or do you
43:56
franchise them or do you let them walk and get a Compaq?
44:01
Well, I think that because we are a team.
44:06
It's twofold. We are team, that's struggling.
44:08
If you can get hypothetically, three picks for them, three,
44:12
three, three, great pics. Then you do that.
44:15
If you can't, then you figure out how to maximize your money
44:19
for him and to be able to also use that money to get other
44:25
players that you need. So if it's if it's if it's if
44:28
it's giving him, you know franchise Him to be able to keep
44:32
money in the pocket so that we can give people that, we need
44:35
whatever, whatever needs to be done, man, and is in, and I'm
44:38
not an expert on it. So I'll say that I'll start off
44:41
with, like I said before, if by chance, you can get three picks
44:45
for him, I'm just using that as an example.
44:47
I don't think you would get three but if you would.
44:49
Yeah, but it, but if you could get with the maximum that you
44:52
could get out of it, if not, if you got no players, then what's
44:58
the next route, franchising? Or give him the money, it's
45:02
giving him. The money is going to hurt our
45:05
chances and being able to get someone else.
45:07
Then maybe I would say no. But if you can, I mean, he
45:11
deserves it. So we got us, he definitely
45:13
deserves to get paid and he just got selected to the Pro Bowl.
45:17
So his, you know, value went up again, just because of that, and
45:21
a locker room, clean up day, he was wearing bright green sweats.
45:26
Yeah, you know, it just Just signifying that dollar and I
45:30
need it just to compare it. John, Allen's contract for
45:33
years, 72 million, 30 million signing bonus, so you're going
45:38
to have to pay. It's just, it's another year
45:39
later. You're going to have to pay to
45:40
Ron more money market. That's just the market though.
45:44
Yeah, that's just. It is what it is.
45:46
And he had a hell of a career, not a career but he had a hell
45:48
of a season. Yeah.
45:49
Eleven and a half sacks. I mean, he earned his pay check.
45:53
I just I have a hard time paying Or having that kind of money
45:59
tied up in your defensive tackles to have all of that
46:05
there. And I feel that for once the
46:08
Commander's showed some foresight by drafting, Phil
46:12
Mathis to be, that's tougher in the middle, to go beside John,
46:16
to give him a year, to develop to see what happened, but math
46:20
does got hurt and that first game of the season.
46:22
So you really don't know what that young man has.
46:26
So, Do you let doron walk knowing that you have an
46:31
uncertainty sitting beside John Allen?
46:35
And is that good? A neutralized.
46:36
Jon at that point. Well what I don't want to hear
46:39
and 2024 or later in 2023 is he goes to another team and balls
46:46
out and then what do we always say?
46:48
Man we let these guys we had here walk.
46:51
So at some point I mentalities got to change as some point
46:54
time. Is it this year?
46:56
I don't know. It.
46:57
I don't want to hear later in 2023, man.
47:00
Look at that guy. Now, he's in the playoffs, he's
47:02
on Super Bowl, winning team. I don't want to hear that.
47:05
So so, yeah, part of that though is the system's these guys go
47:09
into, you know, it's just, it's like they leave us and they go
47:13
to a team and they don't make that team that much better and
47:18
Skyrocket them up. They're going to a good team
47:21
that has a good system and good coaches and good players around
47:24
it and then they're succeeding. There and I you know, it's not
47:29
like it's not like Tom Brady, like Brady goes to the box and
47:33
he instantly wins them, you know, a rang.
47:36
So do you think Do you feel that as though Tim settle May Buffalo
47:42
that much better? No, I don't know.
47:44
It's settled. Yeah, barely did anything.
47:46
He barely had he snaps. Yeah, I mean they just made a
47:50
mistake by letting him go. Yeah, at Piedmont case.
47:53
So, so that brings me back to where we are.
47:57
You know, at some point time, you got to do something more to
48:00
hold on to what you need. And, you know, sell I don't feel
48:06
he made Buffalo that much better.
48:09
I mean, I did see him on a couple tackles, but I think he
48:11
would have been better here. He had 19 tackles, he would, he
48:15
would have been better here, he had a more playing time here
48:18
than there was a huge mistake of letting subtle walk for nothing.
48:22
You're talking of less than 2 million dollars, letting subtle
48:25
walk. Letting Ian itís walk I get but
48:27
you can't let settle go and I invite us go.
48:30
You don't give yourself any depth.
48:32
You have a rookie and Mathis. That's your story.
48:36
You're lucky that John Ridgeway. I did as well as he did and that
48:40
the Cowboys cut them and we're trying to stash him on the
48:43
practice squad. Yeah.
48:45
And we scoop them up. So and that's what I'm talking
48:49
about. So, we talked about the
48:50
round-robin, the coaches that left isn't in the playoffs and
48:53
who are thriving. We, and now we're talking about
48:55
the players that have left us and gone to other places that
48:58
are thriving. So at some point in time, you've
49:00
got to say, enough's enough, I'm going to hold onto this even
49:05
though it's going to hurt me. Yeah, and over the cap is That a
49:10
franchise tag for defensive tackles is 18.9 six million
49:14
dollars. So you're talking 19 million
49:18
dollars to rent him for one year.
49:21
I don't think he's going to be happy with that.
49:24
He wants to get paid and I don't think he'll sign with us the
49:28
next year and we all know how that works from the whole Kirk
49:31
Cousins debacle. When all of a sudden you know we
49:34
franchise and how many years in a row we Technically have seven
49:38
million dollars in cap space. Once we cut Carson Wentz will be
49:42
at around thirty three million dollars in cash space.
49:45
What is that going to be? I don't know what the waiting
49:47
for and I had someone asked me that the other day when I saw
49:51
actually at Topgolf, just some random person walking around.
49:54
I guess they're listen to the show, but I don't know what the
49:58
waiting for we know is going to get cut.
49:59
So that's going to free up, 26 million dollars.
50:02
Exactly. There's got to be some reason
50:04
why they haven't done it yet. But Are you going to give 19
50:09
million dollars to doron pain when you only have 33 million
50:14
dollars in caps facts, leaving you, you know, with however much
50:19
left. I'm 14 million dollars left in
50:21
cap space knowing that we need to bolster our offensive line.
50:27
You know? You and I agreed on that.
50:29
I feel we got to do something at linebacker and defensive back,
50:32
knowing that you have other spots you have to take care of
50:34
and you're saving money at Back if it's really a shame how but
50:39
you got to bring in someone else.
50:40
It can't be Sam Holland. Jake from going in to training
50:44
camp. There's got to be a vet, whether
50:47
it is heinicke. There's got to be a vet of some
50:50
kind coming in there. That's going to get paid
50:52
something. Gosh, bro, I gotta tell you,
51:01
man, I am ready. I'm truly ready for this season
51:05
to be done with completely, Super Bowl and everything so
51:09
that we can put these friggin pieces together because right
51:14
now this jigsaw puzzle. You as a kid, you ever get
51:17
frustrated and you got stuff on the table and you hit the table
51:21
and when you get the table, it all just goes up in the air.
51:24
Oh yeah. Yeah, that's how I feel we are
51:25
right now. We have hit the table and the
51:27
pieces are just in the air right now just going everywhere.
51:31
I need some glue, man. There's a lot of unknown right
51:34
now. And yeah bro, I texted you
51:36
earlier today. I'm like, can you think of
51:38
something positive for us to talk about and to me, it's some
51:43
people, I guess, call me pessimistic, and I'm going to
51:47
disagree, you're optimistic. Can I, you know, my right when I
51:51
say that for the most part you're always so Optimistic,
51:56
then there's being pessimistic which some people think I am to
51:59
me. It's about being realistic
52:02
realistic. Yeah, there's a difference
52:05
between pessimistic and realistic, right?
52:08
And you know it's like the new sports book that opened up a
52:12
FedEx field. We joked you would I didn't get
52:14
our invites last week, you know, happy for the fans.
52:17
I did get their invites that there went out there.
52:20
Yeah, and I'm excited to see the sports book out there.
52:23
I was out. By FedEx Field yesterday getting
52:26
groceries around the corner, I didn't stop by the sports book,
52:30
it looks fun and it's going to be open on game days but you
52:35
can't bet on commanders games on game days, but that's fine.
52:39
You can still bet from your cell phone if you wanted to on
52:41
commanders games, when you're out there.
52:44
But I wanted to get your thoughts on the sports book will
52:47
give me give me the reasoning. Why you can't bet there and I
52:52
fell rule. Okay, but on game day, let's say
52:56
we play a one o'clock game on game.
52:58
Yeah, you cannot bet at that point on the Commander's games,
53:02
I don't think you can bet on any games on game day there.
53:05
I think it's just a restaurant if I'm not mistaken, okay?
53:08
All right, then if you can't bid on any games, then I understand,
53:12
but I can walk right out of there and better.
53:14
My phone. I mean, that's just ridiculous
53:16
to me. But hey, it is what it is.
53:18
I don't make the rules. I just follow the rules.
53:20
You signed into FanDuel from your phone and you can bat on
53:23
your phone. You know, you're not betting.
53:25
They've got 21, self-service kiosk and two giant LED video
53:30
walls, 38 TV monitors, a full-service restaurant and it's
53:36
5,000 square feet with eight betting windows.
53:38
So, on game day, just because NFL policy, all of that wedding
53:43
stuff is going to be closed, but you're still going to have TVs,
53:46
you're still going to have food and a bar where you can get
53:48
drinks. Well, one of the biggest
53:50
questions that I have is, who's cooking the food.
53:52
It's not the same people that That that are, that are the
53:54
vendors that are inside the stadium.
53:56
I mean, obviously it has to be something different to the scale
53:59
of food has to be a little more. I'm assuming enticing, then
54:03
then, then, basic Burgers hotdogs and, and, and pizza,
54:08
right? No, it is not and but you and I
54:12
we've been to the sports book. A guy for Harris that place is
54:16
freaking amazing. Yeah.
54:17
And I could be wrong here but I was told that the food is being
54:20
cooked by Levy. Levy is the Catering, I guess
54:25
not catering. There the food arm of the
54:28
stadium, they take care of FedEx Field.
54:31
I believe they also take care of nats Park and that's it in our
54:35
area Capital. One Arenas, handled by Aramark
54:39
reason, I know that because I do a lot of business with them, but
54:41
this is the menu that a couple people tweeted the other day.
54:46
Crispy chicken wings, $15 grilled chicken, quesadillas 12
54:50
bucks, steak and cheese, egg rolls with Commanders, Sauce.
54:54
$14 crispy mozzarella sticks. 12 bucks.
54:59
You can get a grilled chicken, Caesar salad for 16, Fanatics,
55:04
house salad for 14 and your entrées.
55:08
A fried chicken sandwich for 16 bucks, a grilled double cheddar
55:12
burger for 17 bucks. A chili cheese, dog, for 16
55:16
bucks. And chicken.
55:17
Tenders for Sam, Hal for $17, will comes with that hamburger.
55:23
You get a choice of fries or chips for 17 bucks, you need it
55:28
fries, man. Oh always, yeah, I don't know.
55:32
Dad gum chips, give me the fries, but there's nothing
55:36
special about the menu. There's nothing making me say.
55:40
Oh man, I gotta go there and watch a game there and eat
55:42
there, you know, and I guess we're spoiled a little bit well,
55:47
for the people who hypothetically live in that area
55:50
and there you want to place a bet.
55:53
I think the closest places you could probably other than your
55:55
phone obviously. But if the closest place is
55:58
either going to be Guy Fieri's or it's going to be mg m--,
56:00
right? So if you're there I could see
56:03
yourself going there and and and and maybe grabbing a bite and
56:07
doing something. I mean so it's the closest and
56:11
at the food is halfway decent and the riffraff.
56:14
Can they can keep that out. I think it could be.
56:17
Okay. I'm you know what?
56:19
I'm going to reserve judgment. And go myself and then I'll be
56:25
able to say yay or nay right now.
56:28
I'm not going to dog. I'm out.
56:29
I'm going to say OK. Strong J as as back investment
56:33
strong J. You know, let's let's see what
56:35
happens and see where this goes because I really want to see it
56:38
for myself of why I cast judgment.
56:41
All right, so just to compare the menu with MGM, you got Wings
56:47
12 wings for 15 bucks comparable pricing.
56:51
You got Crab fries, with queso for $8 you've got nachos with
56:58
chili or pork with queso and a bunch of other stuff for 9
57:02
bucks. Loaded potato skins for nine
57:05
dollars. You can get a market, sampler
57:07
with shrimp, tempura, many crab, cakes, Wings, potato, skins, and
57:12
garlic knots for 26 bucks at take that.
57:16
Yeah, you got clam chowder, $7 brisket chili, $7 You know, just
57:23
going down the list, you've got a crispy fried shrimp basket for
57:26
16 bucks. You've got a hot dog. 4699 and
57:31
if you want to add chili and cheese, it's three dollars.
57:35
All right? Going back to the Commander's
57:37
dog with chili and cheese was $16.
57:42
And that's comes with fries. That's the issue right there.
57:47
And I understand why MGM is cheaper, is because you got more
57:51
volume and more volume means you can sell it at a cheaper price
57:54
versus, you know, realistically. Let's just say and I'm just just
57:59
going to say, MGM you get 100 people that come in,
58:02
hypothetically 100. Well, you might get 10 at at
58:07
FedEx. So I so I understand why the
58:10
menus shortened, you know? No, I really do or just because
58:15
of the sheer numbers that you're going to have you're not going
58:17
to have as many people there. So now is that food going to be?
58:20
You know you're the chef. Can't you that food going to be
58:23
Frozen now I mean is it can't be fresh because if you don't give
58:26
them the stuff that they're selling out there.
58:27
I mean look at this menu that they have out there.
58:30
Are when willing to bet that a majority of that stuff is Frozen
58:34
that they just defrosted and Coke at those steak and cheese,
58:37
egg rolls. Then I make enough fresh.
58:39
Yeah, you know, that burger is probably a frozen burger patty.
58:42
We're not keeping that stuff sitting there, but to me you've
58:45
got to give me a reason to show up.
58:48
If you're a sports book in the area and I want to go watch the
58:53
games, then I've got to have a reason to show up.
58:55
If I can't even bet on the games on game days, so the Commander's
58:59
aren't playing at home. Can I still bet they're on
59:02
Sunday on game day? That that I don't think so.
59:04
I don't know. You should be able is so
59:07
hypothetically this Sunday coming up or Saturday?
59:10
Yeah because only games on no. We're games on Sunday, it's only
59:13
gave us something. You should be able to write for
59:14
a stroll in there and bet on Sunday.
59:16
I don't see why you would. It's a sport book.
59:18
You said that it's just for commanders games, so I don't see
59:23
if, if you can't bet on hypothetically, this Sunday's
59:27
game, then you shot yourself in the foot, I'm curious and this
59:32
is not on the Commander's. This is an NFL thing.
59:34
I am just curious if you'd be allowed to because the saying,
59:38
you can't bet on game days, that's technically not a game
59:41
days. So, you should still be good but
59:43
call them call me as a consumer. I've got to have a reason to go
59:50
and yes I understand that MGM more volume but the food options
59:56
are so much better at MGM and okay free parking right there at
1:00:02
the casino. Okay.
1:00:04
Yeah you get free parking at FedEx but there is nothing that
1:00:07
is enticing me to go there and hang out.
1:00:10
And oh yes, I can buy a jersey next door at the fanatic store,
1:00:14
you know, I love to do that but as is Nothing that says, hey
1:00:20
come visit us, we are a destination.
1:00:23
Well, how about this then? How about you you buy something
1:00:25
from a sport book? And and because it's Fanatics
1:00:30
you buy something from us board books, you turn on your turn, on
1:00:32
the back of your, your receipt, and you've got a ten percent off
1:00:36
or 15% off something to buy at the team store or vice versa.
1:00:40
You buy something the team store.
1:00:41
And you get, you get you look on the back of your seat.
1:00:43
And you've got a coupon to go to the sports book in for some food
1:00:47
for a coupon or something like that.
1:00:49
How's that everyone at for your average fan?
1:00:53
That doesn't have season tickets.
1:00:54
That is not to get a discount, then that might make sense.
1:00:57
But The team isn't good right now.
1:01:02
So there are a lot of fans. I mean you and I talk I'm not
1:01:04
buying new gear right now so you know is that gonna like make him
1:01:09
want to go out there and sit down what I'm saying is, yes, it
1:01:12
would make me want to go out there if I bought food and on
1:01:16
the back of my receipt, I saw a coupon the girl right next door
1:01:21
and to buy something. Yeah, maybe that's something
1:01:24
that they do and vice versa. If I bought something from the,
1:01:27
from the Team Store. This is a sponsored by Fanatics.
1:01:30
Then you give me a discount on my food and and or something.
1:01:33
I know you can't do them. I bet but you can do it on food.
1:01:36
That'd be a nice Tire if they did something like that because
1:01:40
to me they could have got a celebrity chef or someone on
1:01:46
board to make this menu. Look better that menu on there
1:01:51
is boring to me chicken tenders. You know, it's just chili dog.
1:01:56
I mean, come on. I've got better food in the
1:01:57
park. Then they do inside that store
1:02:00
and that to me is where I go about being realistic versus
1:02:04
pessimistic. And just I mean you take some my
1:02:07
collard greens. You know, I got better food on
1:02:09
my menu in that parking lot then they do in that store, I will
1:02:12
agree. My brother.
1:02:13
So collard greens are all point. I will agree, I just it is a
1:02:18
swing and it's not a home run to me.
1:02:22
It's a double the Commander's hit a double.
1:02:24
Their, the first NFL team to have a sports book in their
1:02:27
Stadium. Hats off to them, it increases
1:02:29
the value of the team and it is something else for fans to do at
1:02:33
FedEx Field. I just wish they would have done
1:02:37
more from that aspect of food and hanging out and so on and so
1:02:43
forth there to try and pull more people out there.
1:02:45
You know how much I love FedEx Field.
1:02:46
Everyone here knows how much I love FedEx Field.
1:02:48
That's not getting me to go there.
1:02:51
Well, you heard it here. First, commanders front office.
1:02:57
Give us a coupon on the back of our seat.
1:02:59
So we can we can go in and it can go unilaterally either to
1:03:03
the sports book or I can go to the actual clothing team store
1:03:07
so we can get something that we want and need.
1:03:10
I mean it's an off season right now.
1:03:12
What incentive? Where you going to give me?
1:03:14
And that's what it's about right now.
1:03:17
Yeah, give me a reason to come back to FedEx.
1:03:19
I love that place, I miss that place.
1:03:21
I'll eventually step foot in that Sports broke but I'm loyal
1:03:24
to Guy Fieri's, you know, and I do enjoy hanging out at MGM.
1:03:29
I'm just gonna, you know what, maybe I'll go to fandora the
1:03:32
Fanatics and place a bet on the Chiefs to make sure that they
1:03:36
lose. And Patrick Mahoney goes down
1:03:38
this weekend, that'll, that'll solidify.
1:03:40
It definitely will my man. There you go.
1:03:42
That's a double purse right there.
1:03:43
