  Speaker 1: Minister of Primers, Evan Abrams, sliding in ver Stucky today.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Kendra first and foremost, Welcome back to the pod. How
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: was Portugal?
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Thank you? It was so good? Highly recommend I had
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: a lot of wine, lots of food. If you're a
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: picky eater, you won't love Portugal.
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: But if you are not a picky eater, it is
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: a fat person's dreamland.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: The food is so good, the pastries are so good.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: I had a great time. And the wine.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: I will say, if you don't love port wine, probably
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: not the best.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Place to go drinking. How Ever, if you like port wine,
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: it is heaven.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: What was the best thing you did while you were there?
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: The best thing I did or the best thing I ate?
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Mm could be both, Okay, I was going with did
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: like an activity of sorts.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: I would say the best thing that I did was
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: we went to this thing called Fotto, which I was
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: talking to you guys a little bit before you went on,
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: which was cool to see. It's like a traditional Portuguese
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: style of dining where they sang to you while you eat.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: I wish it wasn't as long, but it was really cool,
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: and I really just kind of appreciated like the walking
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: tours that we did, checking out all of the architecture,
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: and like their big thing, which we'll get into in
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: a minute, is like hand painted tiles, and.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: Those were really cool.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: They just really appreciate the arts and I really I
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: really liked that. And everything was so cheap.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: So cheap.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: That is a uber twenty five minute uber anywhere.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: What do you think the average.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Cost eight dollars fifty dollars.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: Like seven year rod which is like probably like eight
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: or nine US day. If you wanted to go anywhere
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: under fifteen minutes, it was like three bucks.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: That's the dream.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Everything's so close together. Evan has some experience with that.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: How many times have you been to Portugal?
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: Once? But I visited a few different places. The algar
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: was amazing, what an amazing place by the water, beach,
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: ish town. It just Portugal's awesome.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Well, while you guys have been gallivanting around the world.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: We've been cranking away with some content over here on
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the podcast. The World Baseball Classic is underway. If you
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: missed any of those episodes, Sean Zarillo was dropping dimes
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: last week on the Favorites podcast.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Go and check that out.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: There's still value to be extracted based on some of
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the things that he told us.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: With this turn of continuing on through.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Group play, Evan, we've dragged you out of the March
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: madness duldrums. We are just about a week or so
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: away from the start of the best tournament of the
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: entire year. Although I guess some soccer fans would argue,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: with the World Cup being this year, perhaps that's the one.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: But how is it going?
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I know you got a big time primer coming up
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: at Actionnetwork dot Com.
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's great. I just got to set up databases
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: and all that stuff for these different conference tournaments. And
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: it's a great time of year. I mean, this college
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: about it really starts today too, on Tuesday, with the
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: game starting at like twelve thirty Eastern. All the different conferences,
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: especially power conferences this week. Honestly, the biggest storyline has
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: been all the teams not making it. Belmont Navy. All
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: these really good teams getting knocked off in the conference tournament,
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: so it'll probably be a weaker like fourteen fifteen sixteen.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: We'll do my guess.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: We have a big time NFL Wave one free agency
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: breakdown coming up in just a moment. But first, Kendra
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: your weekly thoughts.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: But you've been.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: You guys obviously know me well enough to know that
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: I'm a quite outspoken person. If I don't like something,
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: if I think differently than you, no I will I
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: respect your opinion.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: However, I will tell you about your ass.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: That being said, that needs to be a tattoo. I
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: will tell you about your head.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: I get tattoos when I go somewhere new, and I
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: fully understand that when I do that, there is a
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: chance that it may not be perfect, it might not
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: be something that I want. And like I mentioned, the
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: Portuguese tiles are like the big thing there and they're
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: obviously just like classic like pottery style tiles, and I
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: wanted to get a little design from one as a tattoo,
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: and the guy, while he was drawing it up spoke
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: Brazilian Portuguese, not Portugal Portuguese, which fine, still a bit
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: of a language barrier obviously because uh, I don't speak Portuguese.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: But I told him, no outline. I just wanted, like
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: the outline, but he thought that I meant like the
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: outline of like.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: The square on the tile, and he didn't know that.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: I didn't want the tie like the design filled in.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: I just wanted the outline.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: And so he put the outline of like everything on there,
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: filled it out, and then started coloring it in. And
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: I didn't want it colored in. But because of the
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: conversation we had with the outline about.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: The square of the tile, he didn't know that.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: So I want to know because now I'm sitting here
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: with this tattoo, which totally fine. Like I said, I
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: know that these things are like there's an opportunity that
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: will happen, But now I have a tattoo that's not
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: what I wanted. Would you guys, because I looked down
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: and one of the little one of the little dots
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: had been filled in, and you can't do anything from
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: that point on, like it's just it is what it is.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: You have to let it happen, Like there's that's one
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: diddle that can't be undid home skillet.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Would you have said something, or would you have just
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: sat there.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: Like I did, because, like I said, I'll tell you
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: about your ass, but I just took it and sat there.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I am.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I am confrontational on a on a necessity basis. If
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: it's not completely needed, I'm just gonna kind of lay
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: in the cut.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I talked about this last week.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: On last week's episode, I sat in the doctor's office
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: for ninety minutes waiting for a doctor.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: To come in.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: You sell your tweet about that's important.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I finally said, you know, I don't think they know
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I'm here. I'm gonna go ninety minutes. You know why,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: because I didn't feel like ruffling any feathers. So no,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: I would just let it ride and cringe the whole
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: time and just pray. I have no tattoos. But that
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: is one fear I have of getting a tattoo, is
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: that I ask for something and they just start drawing
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: something else, and I would just I would just kind
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: of let it ride because at that point, like you said,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: what are you gonna do about it? You could say something,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: but you're fucked anyway. So what's the difference.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna cut out.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: I'm kind of caught here, because one, you do it
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: on every trip, so you're used to doing this, and
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: then it's the permanency of it from being permanent of
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: doing it. I would have said something, I don't know,
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: God itchy, it.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Was already done, Like I have other tattoos I.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: Don't love, Like I have this microphone that I got
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: when I was like really young, and it was because
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: that I didn't at the time, I was so young,
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: I didn't know how to tell him that I didn't
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: like it, so I just let it happen.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: Have you changed any of the tattoos or everything you've
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: done has stayed the way it is?
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Everything I have probably ooh.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: I think I'm getting close to twenty at this point,
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: and I have two that I don't love, but I've
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: never changed any of them.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: Got it?
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I'm with Evan.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I think that's I would immediately start thinking about how
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: can I draw around this and make this something completely
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: different and make a bad problem probably worse is the
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: way that that's the method I would do.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: I think that that's why I'm not going to get
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: any of them change, just because I feel like I
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: would just make them worse.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: That microphone could probably use some work though I think
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: we can make like you can make like a whole
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: like radio board, you know, let's make this.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Just give us the whole studio going on the arm.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: I think I want to get it removed and redone like.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: I still want what I have, just not this version of.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: It that does look like more of an American Idol
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: microphone than the kind that we use.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: I got it when I was a television.
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: Aspirations.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, anyway, we have five questions to get to
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: to recap wave one of NFL Free Agency. This has
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: been so much fun over the last twenty four hours.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: We have seen massive moves, millions, hundreds of millions of.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Dollars, spending over two billion.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Insane, absolutely insane.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: So we will start with our favorite move that we
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: have seen so far, and you can whatever makes it
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: your favorite move for whether it's because it's your team,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: because it's a player that you like, you just like it,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: and in terms of smart business for these NFL squads. Kendra,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: we'll start with you your favorite move in NFL free agency.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: I don't know if it's a favorite move for me
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: as a person because I hate the Chiefs, but getting
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: Kenneth Walker was a massive move for them, I think.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: I think a lot of people on like a national
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: scale are just talking about how they're bringing Travis Kelce back.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: They're just kind of clinging.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: On to any sort of relevancy that they have with
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: some of the signings that they've made. But I think
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: that they got a lot better yesterday and this puts
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: this puts them a tear up from where they were.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: I think that this made them a lot better. So
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: I don't love it in the sense that I love
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: the Chiefs, but I think that this was a good move.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: That I also really like Travis.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: I hate to see Travis Gough because I've loved Travis
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: Etn for the Jags obviously, and him and Trevor Lawrence
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: have had just such a legendary run together.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: But he's just such a class act.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: Guy, locker room guy, team first and I'm glad that
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: he gets to go home to New Orleans and play
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: in Louisiana once again. So I would say I don't
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: love the Chiefs, but loved that move for the current
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: situation that they have. But probably and you know, both
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: running backs whatever, but I love that Etn is going
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: home too.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I think it was really shrewd of Jacksonville and smart
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: to let him walk. They like the young guys they have,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: They've invested a lot on the defense, they've invested a
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: lot at wide receiver. Trading for Jacobe Myers. That's a
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: tough move to make because you know Trevor Lawrence and him,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: as you mentioned, they've played together since college that they
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: have a tight connection, and you got to piss off
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: your quarterback a little bit. But not bringing him back,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: but not getting drunk on last season was really smart.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: And sometimes the best moves are just letting guys walk
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: in free agency and letting somebody else overpay for them. Evan,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on Kendrick's list. I have a
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: take on the Kenneth Walker thing, but he's on a
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: different category of mind, so I'll get to that in
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: a moment.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: Etn would be probably where I would start with that.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think that is probably the more difficult
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: move if you're Jacksonville to do right, like the connection
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: to the quarterback how many years he's been with the franchise.
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: But I think that's the right move. So I think
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: some franchises don't exactly do that. Well, I think they
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: did and I kind of like him in New Orleans. Obviously,
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: they got to figure out everything with Kamara there, but
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: I do think a change of scenery in that up
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: and coming offense, up and coming team in a weaker
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: division could be interesting for him. So that's my take
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: on ETN. Honestly, I had a list of like three
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: things that I kind of liked in terms of moves,
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: and one of them was also Walker. I think they
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: went after Breissee Hall last year, couldn't get it done. Obviously,
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: everyone has opinions on the Sharbona versus Walker, what they
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: did and what they didn't do kind of for that offense,
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: especially with sharbon ay out at the end of the season,
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: But I think Walker is just a good ad there.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: I think it's a part of their offense that they
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: really really really have issues with last few years. No explosiveness.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: There was that crazy stat. I believe Walker had two
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: twenty five yard runs on one Super Bowl drive. The
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: Chiefs had one of those runs all CDs in last year,
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: like they really really really needed this, So I agree,
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: and that.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Was probably from Patrick Mahomes too. On top everything else.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Is that Does that qualify as your favorite move or
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: do you have another that you would like.
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: I think Carolina, like, I just kind of like what
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: they did on defense. You get Phillips, which is just
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: to me a good move coming off of like we
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: thought he could have been back in his original destination,
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: but four years, one hundred and twenty million. Obviously the
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: money kind of talks in that situation and got him
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: to move over. And then Lloyd Like, I think it's
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: really difficult for Jacksonville to lose him in that situation.
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: But I think adding a linebacker, adding the edge, I
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: kind of like the moves in Carolina, like that division
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: is extremely unfortaking. One of my bad moves is and
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: I think we all agree with it would be to us.
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: So I think it's on the other side of I mean,
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: the money's not bad, paying him one and a half million,
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: but I just don't like to fit. So I kind
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: of like Carolina. I like the two defensive ads.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I like that a lot. I like strengthening of strength. Well,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: do you hate it on a personal level or do
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: you hate it for that?
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: I just know it's more so the fact that that
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: came under so far from what I and I don't
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: get me wrong, I personally projected him probably in like
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: the twenty million dollars a year range and the fact
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: that it's what I think, fifteen average per year or
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: something like that. I I get that Jacksonville did not
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: have the cap space to do it, but I also
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: am in the camp that he would have cut them
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: a deal to stay and the cap is crap. I
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: think for that cost, they should have just figured out
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: a way to make it fucking work.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they that's a big loss for the Jacksonville Jaguars
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: and the Panthers defense.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Are you renaming your spider or are you just gonna
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: roll with the open?
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: I'm open to debate if anyone would like to send
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: me a comment, tweet us something, send us a DM.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: I'm open. I'm open to renaming her.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Oh can we have a renaming ceremony later in the
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: off season?
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Do that on an episode?
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: I think, Yeah, maybe we gotta figure. You got to
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: wait to see who you draft.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: I could let her sit on my forehead for a show.
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: Oh great, Okay, there you go.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh DIBs on not doing that, but we'll leave
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: that for Kendra. My favorite move. I do really like
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: the Panthers, and they were definitely in consideration, I'm gonna
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: get drunk on a thirty two year old aging wide
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: receiver going out west to a power plant. I love
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: this move Mike Evans to the forty nine ers. Talk
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: about a tough decision to make. This guy's spent twelve
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and he was in
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: line to be one of those rare Ripkin Jeter Dan
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Marino athletes that just stays with one team his whole career.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: But he saw what we all see.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: This Bucks team's go nowhere, and he chose to go
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: somewhere where he has a chance to win.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: So I love it for Mike Evans.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I love it for what is easily the best division
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: in football right now in the NFC West. The Seahawks
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: just won the Super Bowl, the Rams probably have the
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: most loaded roster in the league, and now the forty
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: nine ers have perty. I think got over the hump
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: of is he a game manager? Was he worth the contract?
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: He's clearly a star level quarterback. Still have Christian McCaffrey,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: George Kittle coming back, Mike Evans, Ricky Piersall, and then
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: their entire defense was injured last year. I think the
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers have a legitimate chance to win a
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl this year, and they had to go super
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: team mode if they were gonna actually have a chance,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: especially with the Behemoths are going up against. So love
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Evans to the forty nine ers. Evan reacting to an
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: old receiver.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: Yes, Kendrick, are you not worried about the electromagnetic fields
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: in his he?
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Of course I am, yes, But it's not like they
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: haven't had success with the A is the Are the
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: electromagnetic fields new or is that just a new theory
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: because it's.
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: Not like this It's been there, I believe.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: So, I mean they've been to super off the bone
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: like it was on a slow cooker.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Baby, I am a little.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Worried about his his meat just fall out the bone.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: That's a little more word about Evan's meat. But other
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: than that, you know, if I'm putting all of that
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: bullshit to the side, I love the move, but obviously
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: an aging wide receiver that's coming off of the worst
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: year of his career by mile.
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the contract isn't fantastic, even though I believe it's
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: technically like a one year deal masked as a three
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: year deal, like there's definitely options to get out of it.
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: So the three years sixty million, I think is just
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: a mirage in itself. But it's like one year, seventeen
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: million or so. I guess in certain ways, I think.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: He took lots money to go to San Francisco.
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: And I think it's all blamed on Bowls, like the
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: culture in Tampa Bay. I don't like him as a
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: head coach. He's obviously been there a long long time
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: and I'm just I'm not a huge fan. And I
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: think Mike Evans saw an opportunity to go to a
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: better head coach with uh, I guess he would probably
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: have to say, a better quarterback, with a better defense,
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: and I think a team in a much much tougher division,
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: but probably in a situation that leads him closer to
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: a Super Bowl. I would guess.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Yep, yep, agreed. All right, Now let's go to the
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: negative side, least favorite. I'm gonna steal from the rest
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: of you guys because this is my burden to bear.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Tua to the Falcons.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Here, I am with my lovely seventy five to one
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: ticket on Atlanta to win the Super Bowl next year.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: And what do they do they bring in Tua. I
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: can't get rid of this guy. This is gonna be
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: my squad in twenty twenty six. Now I have to
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: deal with a turnover prone porcelain doll all over again
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: and two lefties? Who does that? So weird? Also, isn't
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: this tampering guys? Tua is not technically a free agent,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: so shouldn't he not be able to sign?
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: I'm a little confused by all of that.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: But Tua to the he was released, but yeah, but
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: he's he was posted for release. He hasn't been released yet.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: They can't really release him until June first?
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: Is that true?
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: That the letter of the law?
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: I didn't think about that.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Actually, I guess the NFL just decides to overlook that
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: because of the intent to cut.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: But they can't cut him until June.
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: You're so upset about him going to Atlanta, you're trying
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: to circumvent the cap right now.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: That's that really is sounds right. I'm trying to see
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: if I can get Atlanta in trouble, so this doesn't.
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: You're starting this on a podcast right now legitiately to
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: get the move reversed.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: I think, honestly, my least favorite move I was going
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: to say, was Malik Willis.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: So you're just double screwed.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: I so another one that is on one of my
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: later questions in the five.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: So I will hold off on rebuttal on that.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: But I will tell you tease, I completely disagree with you.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: I am Oh my god, you're drinking the kool aid.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: It's March.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Isn't this what we do? So your least favorite is
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Malik Willis. My least favorite is Tua Evan. Where do
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: you land on least favorite move in the first wave?
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: I mean, I don't I think there's some bad moves.
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: I don't think Tua is a like bad move in
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: terms of the money. It was super cheap for Atlanta
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: to take a shot. Pennick's not ready, Like, I think
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: all of the angles of the deal with Tua makes sense.
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: I think from Miami's standpoint, like eating the dead cap
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: and then using it on Malik Willis, even though obviously
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: the whole front office Green Bay guys like I don't
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: know how that's gonna work out. Like he he showed,
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: he showed up well in a few games at the
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: end of this season, then got a big pay deal.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: I guess We'll kind of see what happens. I think
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: the worst deals are like what Buffalo gave up for
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: DJ Moore. How much Detroit's kind of lost when you
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: look at all the people that have walked out the
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: door so far. The fact that the Colts pierced to
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: Pittman or Pittman to Pierce and then paying him all
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: that money, I think is an interesting choice.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, is.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: There any bigger winner and free agency from a player
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: perspective than Alec Pierce?
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: And this guy was treated like he's a legit one.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah I got.
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: And the money and everything like that. And I think
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: Pittsburgh becomes interesting Dean Dowdell Pittman. Those are some fun ads. Yes,
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: the quarterback, well find out, Yeah, we'll find out.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Still still a miss.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: We're gonna play the flag at the end of the
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: episode on the move that we want to see that
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: that still has not happened. Jack's forward and might have
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: might have a little look here for the steel.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: He did not make you feel better about your to
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: a pick that at least he's in a dome and
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: playing still in the South.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I think Tua, I mean, I think, I honestly, I
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: I'm somewhat kidding when I hated as much as I
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: do just because I was all in. I'm all in
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: on the idea of the Falcons being really good this year,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: but that was under the impression that Michael Fennix would
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: come back. I actually liked what I saw in him
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: and with better coaching. Kevin Stefanski is an offensive wizard
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: that's been working with a whole lot of nothing for
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: the last several years, and when he was working with
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: a little something, he was winning Coach of the Year.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: So that and that's just a terrible division. But if
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: he can't go, I mean, I guess Tua is. No
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: one's ever said that Tua is a bad quarterback from
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: backup quarterback standards. He's a bad quarterback in terms of
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: paying him like he's Joe Burrow.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: He's terrible in that sense.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: So if you're saying Tua is the placeholder until you
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: can figure out this penix health issue, it's fine. And
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: I do actually think there there is perhaps some merit
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: to if the offense is used to a left handed quarterback,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: keeping a left handed quarterback in there, I guess makes sense.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: It's like it's like having Tyler Huntley behind Lamar Jackson stylistically,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: let's keep the flow the same. I know that there's
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: gonna be a downgrade in this scenario, we're not even
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: sure that it is a downgrade going from Penix.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm.
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: Not really sure which one's the downgrade if you're gonna
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: pick one of them, because this is a These are
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: opinion guys, like you either really like them or you
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: really don't. These are both really I mean, we've seen
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: a lot more of Tua than we have of Penix
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: in terms of just his ability at this level. So
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: I think Tua's resume is kind of out there, Like
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: I don't know if we're gonna see I mean, there's
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: been really really, really good right and then there's been
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: a lot of the bad. And I think in Atlanta,
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: in that atmosphere with London with Pitts, like I don't
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: mind it, Like I I think there's a shot to
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: be good, especially with the contract. It's a no brainer.
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: I think that.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: On Miami big time because they're the ones that are
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: still paying them a boatload. But I think we're kind
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: of burying Kendrick's point here, which was a good one,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: that he's gonna be playing in a dome now, and
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: one of the biggest concerns for Tua is that he
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: cannot withstand weather.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: The fact that he is.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Not only in a dome, but the majority of his
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: opponents are playing in the South. Now that he is
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: in the Hes, in the a f C East, and
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: they and the yes, Miami is in Miami, and obviously,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: but no one else they play is in warm weather
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: twice a year. Everybody else you gotta go play in
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: cold weather a couple of times a season, and that
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: never bode would bode.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Well for him. Hey, listen, you actually kind of selling
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: me on this. All right, let's go.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Question number three is the w t F move of
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: free agency. Now, this doesn't mean that you hate it
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: or that you love it. You just sort of trying
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: to figure it out. And I'll give you an example
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: of what I'm talking about here, Kenneth Walker to the
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Chiefs is my answer. I don't think it's a bad
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: move for the Chiefs. Clearly they needed this, and you
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: guys love it, and you love it for the right reason.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: So the Chiefs have been trying to play this. Hey,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: let's just get dirt cheap at running back game for
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: too many years now and it worked out to a degree.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: That's not like they don't have Super Bowls, but they
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: just put so much on mahomes plate and it's just
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: so easy to find these running backs out there that
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: can help buoy your offense. But it just goes in
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: the complete opposite direction of everything that they've done.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: You're signing a guy who.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Has struggled to stay healthy, he struggled with consistency issues,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: and you're buying him at his absolute apex. This is
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: not what shrewd organizations do. And it might work out.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: They definitely need what he brings to the table. It
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: just doesn't feel like what smart organizations do. It has
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: a little scent of desperation, and that makes me worry
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: about Kansas City. But that's why it's the what the
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: fuck move for me, because I don't hate it. I
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: just I'm a little bit confused that it was Kansas
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: City that did this.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: Kendra, I'm gonna go with the news coming out to
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: the Patriots tried to re sign Kiris Tanga in December
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: and didn't get it done, and now he's gone. The
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: Patriots have so much money to spend, They have a
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: lot of improvements they need to make and letting a
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: guy like that that had an awesome season for you go,
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: I think is just my WTF for you guys doing
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: moment like you spent free agency. All you've done is
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: like sign a full back and you're gonna let that
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: guy walk and it was pretty much on the table.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: That's for me, I think the what is going on
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: here moment?
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that a great move for the Chiefs.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Get a guy that you can get creative with too,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: and throw him at full back and all that good stuff. Evan,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: what about you? The WTF move of free agency?
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: I just can't believe you used yours on Walker? Like
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: that's that to me? Is that, to me is the
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: opposite of a w AT T W t F move
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: because like they need a running back.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Guys, how many years?
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: How many years do we need to go through NFL
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: free agency where you get the team that get that
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: wins on the big bold headline, that that buys high
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: on talent at their absolute peak and it doesn't work out.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: It happens every single year, and usually it's the teams
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: like perennially it's the Steelers and the Packers and the
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Patriots and the Chiefs that don't fall for this crap.
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: And it's also desperate, though it's desperate because they need
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: to be desperate, Like they just had the worst season Mahomes' career.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: But couldn't you go a level down from Walker and
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: trade a second round pick because Taylor.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: Swift and the Super Bowl m v P and Doonna
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: Kelsey's renovating her Hunt.
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: I also think it feels like something that do one
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: thing as well. I believe certain things are also happening
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: in the anticipation that Love is going to go earlier
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: in the draft, like four or five. So like Casey,
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: I think would be worried at nine without a move
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: that they weren't going to be able to get him.
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: So that that's just I mean, if you look at
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: some of the running back moves, I feel like that's
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: some of the stuff you're seeing as Love is kind
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: of moving up the board.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: But this is so frustrating about it is so they
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: go they go three four years in a row where
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: they're like, it's okay, we have Isaiah Pacheco, who is
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: a one trick pony, an old Kareem Hunt who's been
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: washed up for the last six years. But all of
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: a sudden, now, because we can't get a running back
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: in the top ten of the draft, we're gonna go
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: buy the most expensive one in free agency, coming off
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: of the best game of his life.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: That just direct like this desperate. This is a sports
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: betting podcast. Yes, this was a not.
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: What not WTF desperation.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, this is like buying the team.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: Would they go out there and sign a Super Bowl MVY?
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right.
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: To answer your question, Kravits, mine is dabel and the Titans.
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: Like there's a viral tweet going around. The viral tweet
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: going around, that's just basically like Brian Dabele, like, you know,
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: I got fired and I might as well take the
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: players back that I got fired for. And that's basically
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: what it's just. I understand Tennessee was going to spend
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: money and like John Franklin Myers I kind of liked,
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: but Wandell Bellinger like he really is just kind of
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: Mitch as a backup, Like I don't know, I kind
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: of saw some angles and the division, you know, isn't
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: the best division. Like you know, people are making mistakes,
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: Jackson will losing some pieces, like they could have gotten better.
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: I just these movies are kind of laughable.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: But I think every week you get some sort of
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: viral Ryan Clark video from first take where you're saying
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: something ridiculous, and usually there's some race baiting element involved
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: in it. But who's trying to sell the audience on
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Mitch Trubisky being a really sneaky ad? I just I
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: don't know why that had to be a topic, but
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: it was the fourth question whose odds should shift the
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: most based on a move that was made? So this
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: is specifically looking at how we expect the betting market
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: for win totals to react to the moves that have
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: been made. I think not my official nomination, but one
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: to think about would be the Raiders. The Raiders made
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: they've been the busiest team.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: In free lenderbound trade should have been one of my favorites.
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: I forgot to include that one, but I.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Love that they overhauled their linebacking room to Kobe Dean
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: kuway Walker, they had Tarn Johnson, they get Jalen Naylor
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: on offense, and of course they have the number one pick.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: If Mendoza is halfway decent, this team is going to
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: be not great and they're dealing with a loaded Division two.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: But if we're just talking about win totals, this team
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: could be a lot better than a team that is
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: picking number one overall in the draft. So that's a
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: not my answer, but that's an option. Evan, What do
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: you think the team that will shift the most based
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: on the moves?
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: I don't really think too much other than like Crosby
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: has really happened so far that would impact it to
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: that degree. Like just going up and down, you know,
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: usually one player. It's usually a group of players or
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: a unit or something like that that could potentially try
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: to move a win total. It doesn't really like I'm
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: looking at some odds at a sportsbook in terms of
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: movement from March first to like today and some team.
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: Most teams have had numbers added to their value, like
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: the Titans one from one hundred to one hundred and
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: twenty five. So did the Panthers. Not much has changed
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: even based off what we happened. But the Ravens were
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: twelve to one now ten to one. So I think
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: the splash of Crosby had some movement in the market.
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: I don't think it's correct movement. I don't think Crosby's
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: worth that much in general, but I think the name
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: of the move is something that's intriguing. You also saw
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: the Rams like getting McDuffie. I don't think any and
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: necessarily anything other than that, but they moved, you know,
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: at that height from nine to eight to one, which
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: at the you know, when you're at the top of
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: the market, that movement usually doesn't happen too much. So
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: that would probably be my answer. It's nothing crazy yet
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: my opinion.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Kendron, what about you, I'm going to go with the Saints.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: It has to be the Saints for me.
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: You could point out one of the individual moves that
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: they have made, but it's a weak division.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: I think that they kind of peeked towards the end
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: of it.
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: The coaching there has obviously been beneficial, Tyler Schuck coming
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: out and making a bit of some noise at the
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: end of their season. And they've added to not just
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: like I said, I love the Travis etn deal for them,
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: but they've added everywhere. They've added on defense, they've added
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: on offense, they've on it, added it special teams. I
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: just think that with such a weak division and the
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: Panthers having a little bit of movement and questions on
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: if they can keep the momentum that they had last season.
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: Obviously the Bucks getting worse, I think the Falcons are
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: going to be shit. I probably will be putting a
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: rather hefty wager on the Saints winning this division this
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: coming season. I think that they're going to be the
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: new NFC East and we're going to have a different
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: divisional winner every single season for the next ten years.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: So for you, it's it's less about the moves and
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: more the fact that they made moves to get better,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: showing that they are ready to at least compete.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: It's kind of an attitude thing.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think that they're competing.
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: I think that they've got a quarterback, they added to
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: the run game, they're adding on the offensive line, they're
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: adding on defense, and it's just that their division is
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: the worst division in football, and the moves that they
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: made can put that.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: Dude, there was a point where we were like, if the.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: Saints didn't struggle the first three or four weeks of
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: this season as shitty of a team as they had
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: this year, they could have won that division had you know,
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: one or two things gone differently with how that planned out.
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: And now obviously the Bucks are having a ton of regression.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: I am curious about the Bryce Young scenario and how
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: that can continue to trend in an upward direction. I
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: think that the Saints could really make some noise.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: In this division this coming season.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: So the my nomination you guys are gonna laugh is
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins.
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, obviously.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: A quarterback.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Is you mentioned the you make moves to a unit,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: it's a plethora of moves that will change the market. Also,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: a quarterback. Adding Willis is a market mover their win
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: total before.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: This move was Willis market mover mor.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Leaque will As not by much, but like Evan said,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: you're not to get major movement in the win total market.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: If the Dolphins go from four and a half over
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: under to five and a half, that might be the
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: most significant move that we see based on free agency.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: And nobody moves the market more than a quarterback. And
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: this isn't even so much an endorsement of Malik Willis.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: I'm excited about him being the quarterback just as a
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: fan because he's a fun watch, but he's it. They
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: were gonna trot out Quinn Ewers. Part of the price
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: on the Dolphins was Quinn Ewer's seventh round pick being
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: the quarterback of the team.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: And the idea that they were going in the tank.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: I think the Dolphins are at least saying we're not
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: totally tanking. Maybe mildly, but we're not totally tanking.
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: Wouldn't you prefer them to be totally tanking though?
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: So No, I'm looking ahead at next year's draft class,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: and I think it is amazing how quickly we as
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: sports fans and sports media will just whap our head
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: on the se out of a wall and forget what
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: we just saw. Next year's draft class is what Dante Moore?
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Anybody remember the last time he played football? He was atrocious?
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: How about Arch Manning, who we've all thought teams were.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: We thought the Saints were gonna tank for this guy
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: because he was gonna be so unbelievably good. He was terrible.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: He got better as the season went along, saying so
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Julian saying, I don't even know if this guy is good.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: He's been tossing the rock to Jeremiah Smith. I just
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: I think the Soresby's gonna be up there. I think
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: the draft class for next year has a chance to
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: be as overrated as we overrated the one that we
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: thought we were gonna get this year, and this year's
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: quarterback class sucks. So I think we are perhaps on
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: the cusp of doing the exact same thing again, rinse, recycle,
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: repeat overhype arch Manning, and then everybody's disappointed at the
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: end of the year, going, oh, I thought this was
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: going to be a good quarterback class.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: That's my thoughts.
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: You could have Quinniers and arch Manning back together, kissing
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: my god.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, Kendrick, did we go to you on this? Yes,
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: you have the Saints. You had the Saints and moving on.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: Him so hard you forgot.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: You know, it's a lot to keep track of. Okay,
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: you gotta keep track of your own. Takes everybody else's.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: But nobody cry at river for the for the host
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: who has been oddly inactive. So I think about question
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: number five is kind of like that meme with the
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: stick figures or the guy with the.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Something.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: How is it not the Cincinnati Bengals. You do realize, Cincinnati,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: you have Joseph Burrow, right, this guy is so cool
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: he could bag Jessica Alba.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: Let's go and get him.
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: False Okay news, come on now, not by Burrow, though.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: You got to get your TMZ notifications on.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: But all right, I'm sorry, Okay, let me only update
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: that as I finished this obvious take, they got to
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: do something.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: When the defense is.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Bad, the whole line is bad, they've obvious needs, they
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: don't address anything.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: It was the same thing.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Go back last year and look at the big moves
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: that Cincinnati made. Their biggest move was trying to ghost
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson. I mean, it's just it's embarrassing what this
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: team does and how they operate.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Evan, what about you?
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: I think the Bengals are a really good one. I
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: kind of hadn't thought about that in that direction. But
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: also I was looking for something that was already changed, right,
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: like the Bengals continuing to do something that they've always
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: done and not being any different, which is not helping Burrow.
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: Like it seems to be very consistent for them. I guess,
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: other than the fact that their two highest paid players
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: are wide receivers, they can't be doing much more for Burrow.
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: So you know, it depends how you look at it there,
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: I would guess. I would say I was kind of
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: surprised by the Seahawks, Like I guess you have to
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: have faith in Schneider, but with the deal they made
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: with Shahit, you better be getting him the ball, like
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: when you're gonna pay him this money and kind of
• 37:59
  Speaker 5: lose some of these other pieces and not be real spenders.
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: I guess in free agency, I think they just need
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: to figure out how he's not a guy that's getting
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: like seven routes and you're just trying to make him
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: a huge kick return, pump return, whatever guy. I just
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: think there's more value there, especially if you're gonna pay
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: him long term. So I think Seattle's kind of interesting.
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: Broncos have been brought up a bunch. They haven't done
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: too much, and they've let some stuff out the door,
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: especially being I don't know, a half a quarterback away
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: from going to the Super Bowl. I think some people
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: would have thought they would have done some more.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Kendrol, what about you.
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: The Bengals were my one, but my number two, and
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: I'm surprised in the listing of teams that you two
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: gave out that neither in this is a.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: Home or take, I guess a homer take. But the Patriots.
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: The Patriots have so much money to spend and Drake
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: May should be a destination now to play with. And
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: I get the taxes are high here, the weather sucks
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: sometimes times whatever, but you have so much money to
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: spend and you've signed a full back and let Tongo walk.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: What the hell are you guys doing.
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: I don't understand what the Patriots are doing whatsoever, other
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: than cheaping out on the field and cheaping out and
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: paying for security for the World Cup. Double whammy for
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: Robert Kraft Ligma.
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: I like it. I like Vera Tucker. That's probably the
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: only thing they've done that I liked. I mean a
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: little bit, a lot of you know, some probably more
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: money than you needed to, but some more protection is
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: going to help, especially when that was May's issue.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: Who is it?
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you can have all the time in the world,
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: but who the hell is catching the freakin' football?
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: What about the big t trade market? I think New
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: England is going to make a big time deal. Let's
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: not forget this is we are reacting to Wave one.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: There's crappy Wave two and there's still trades in a
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: draft to get to as well.
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: But you have they didn't get at least Yeah, I
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: was what's the guy from the Raiders that just gots on. Oh,
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: Jalen Naylor. At least they didn't give him sixty million dollars.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: That's for us.
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: But you guys, Robert Kraft shown us who he is
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: for the last twenty five years.
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: And when someone shows you who they are, listen.
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: This is a guy who expected Tom Brady to take
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: a pay cut to keep people together, to keep that
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl roster what it was.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: And nobody's gonna take a pay cut to play here anymore.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: You have to pay people.
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: You are the team with the most money available to
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: you last season and you still did nothing with it.
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: If you're showing me you're cheap, and you think that.
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: People should just take a pay cut consistently to play
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: somewhere that was a super Bowl destination ten years ago.
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: Give me a break. You can't keep cheaping.
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: Out and going to a super Bowl on a weird
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: off year because you didn't have to play anybody and
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: then just be like, oh, well you should be happy
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: with that. We're not gonna do anything. We're gonna keep
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: cheaping out and sucking, which fine by me. I'm a Patriotator.
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: It makes the AFC easier for my boys to get through.
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: But like if you're gonna sit here and you're gonna
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: cause your quarterback to be injured because you don't want
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: to pay offensive line for him and you want to
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: Joe burrow him to death and you don't want to
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: give him a receiver.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: Fine, whatever, do it. But if you're gonna show me
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: who you are, I'm gonna listen.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: You hear that. You see that, Evan, that's Mike Trupp,
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: Kendri Middleton.
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: They could just be waiting for AJ Brown to or bt.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: Do't if they stole Brian Thomas Junior.
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: For That's been the big conversation here the last couple
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: of days. And honestly, I would let BTJ go for
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: the right price personally because I just I think that
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: that concussion he got in pre season has broken him
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: and maybe he does need a change of scenery to
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: be different. Maybe it was a coaching issue. I think
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: that it was just the concussion and some personal things
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: that he had going on. But for the right price,
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: I'd let him go. But I just as close as
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: AJ Brown and Rabel are the issues that Stefan Diggs
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: kind of I don't. He was allegedly a great locker
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: room guy, and everybody loved him and he was a leader,
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: and that's been the conversation surrounding him. But a lot
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: of the off field drama, I'm just not sure is
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: something that the Patriot.
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: Can They're just so young. Why would you screw up
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: that chemistry?
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: And I get that he respects Rabel in a way
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: that he would probably cool it. But at the same time,
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: if you're going to spend money on somebody, is it
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: going to be.
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: A gamble of that type of player? Once again, I
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: just and you're cheap. You're cheap. You don't even want
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: to pay the eight million dollars.
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: Okay, for example, the thing that we're talking about, the
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: World Cup obviously here in Boston, is supposed to bring
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: a billion dollars of revenue to the city, and they
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: don't want to pay the eight million dollars in security
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: fees for the World Cup to be held at Gillette.
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: They want the town to do it. You're cheap. I'm
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: going to keep believing you're cheap.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: Wow, that is that at his next level cheap.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: Also a reminder for everyone out there to not completely
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: overreact to free agency. I was reading an article from
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: Sorry to Chop You down here, Bill Barnwell does a
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: great job at ESPN. I was reading his article, I
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: went back and looked at his twenty twenty five winners
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: and losers from NFL free agency because this always makes
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: me chuckle. One of the big losers from Barnwell, who
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: knows this stuff was the Seattle Seahawks for signing Sam Darnolds.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: They won a Super Bowl and the Patriots were big
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: losers after failing to sign Chris Godwin. And that was
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: the team that the Seahawks played in the Super Bowl.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: So sometimes we swing and miss on our free agency takes.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: Coming up in a moment, we plant the flag more
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: on the Favorites right around the corner.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: But first a word from our very own Kendri Middleton.
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: The Favorites podcast is sponsored by DraftKings sports book, and
• 43:32

• 44:01
  Speaker 1: Now time to plant the flag presented by DraftKings. Let's
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: wrap up the show with the one move that you
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: want to see a team make. We are going to
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: plant our flag claire voyantly as we look into the future.
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: Mind the flag in a shut up. I'm trying to
• 44:18
  Speaker 5: plant my flag here.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: Okay, you're really planted your flag in that deck, Hendra,
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: where would you like to take us?
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: I'd like to see the Jags sign another running back
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: after letting etn go, and another linebacker.
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: But I don't love anybody left, So I'm going.
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: To plant my flag on needing Trey Hendrickson to.
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: Stay out of the AFC South.
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: I'm going that is that is the one thing I'd
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: like to see happen, is him.
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: Not be there.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: I put a nice, hefty wager, one of the biggest
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: I've ever placed, on Trey Hendrickson to not be a
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: Green Bay packer. I cannot believe that that market is
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: available out there, because they make one big move every
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: twenty years, and they just traded for Micah Parsons, So
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: I don't see that. To me, should be at about
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent chance of not happening, and if you
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: search long and hard enough, you will find that that
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: is not the case. So I think Trey Hendrickson will
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: probably end up. Who knows, the Chargers Cowboys could be
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: one of those.
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: Places that's so kind of quiet. I will say, who
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: is the Chargers. They have a ton of money.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: They have been very quiet. The Chargers have been oddly
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: and maybe this is why. Maybe they're about to swoop in,
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: So maybe that's not a bad idea either. If you
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: can find a Charger's market for me, it's Kyler Murray
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: to the Steelers.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: Just be done with this Rogers nonsense.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: It's been far too long since the Steelers have had
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: a team that's fun to watch, and Kyler might not
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: be the world's best quarterback, but he's at least a spark.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: He's something fresh. They haven't had a guy that can
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: just run around in the pocket since Cordell Stewart. Just
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: go they've had they have been one of the most
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: boring watches. And why would I care about this. Well,
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: they're always in primetime because they're the Steelers and they
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: have one of the biggest fan bases in the country.
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: I'm tired of watching boring Steeler games.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: Give me entertaining, tiny Kyler Murray running around in the pocket,
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: and be done with this Rogers nonsense.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: Evan, where would you like to plant your flag?
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: I want Kyler Murray Minnesota. I just think it's a
• 46:30
  Speaker 5: better fit inside the Dome. I just like I think
• 46:34
  Speaker 5: Rogers ends up going back to Pittsburgh after adding Pittman, Like,
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: I think that's still the ideal situation for him. It
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: would be very funny for Rogers. Yeah, it would be
• 46:45
  Speaker 5: very funny for him to go to Minnesota and follow
• 46:47
  Speaker 5: a farv, But I think Kyler Murray in Minnesota would
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: be a much better fit overall. I mean, I think
• 46:55
  Speaker 5: Justin Jefferson will be just as frustrated, which would be
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: very funny. But I do you think it would be
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: the right move? And I think from Trey Hendrickson, I
• 47:04
  Speaker 5: feel like, now this is the move I don't want.
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: But I think if I'm trying to like accurately predict it,
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: like Tampa Bay losing out and getting Evans back and
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: then flipping over and having some money to be able
• 47:15
  Speaker 5: to get Hendrickson. I think is mildly intriguing, and it
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: would happen and you would be like, Okay, I get it,
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: but they're not going to be able to do X
• 47:24
  Speaker 5: and maybe it's still not enough, but Tampa Bay there
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: is interesting.
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: Question do you think Justin Jefferson would get more pissed
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: off with Kyler Murray being Kyler Murray or watching nine
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: continue develop?
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: What do you think would piss him off more?
• 47:41
  Speaker 5: I think nine nine?
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: You have no part of JJ McCarthy. Those guys, my god, it.
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: Was like at least I think at least he would
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: like a new frustration, right, like, like, at least change
• 47:53
  Speaker 5: up what his frustration is going to be into who
• 47:55
  Speaker 5: he's frustrated at, you.
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: Know, shoving him into a locker fair.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: You know when you meet someone.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: And you you you just lack such natural chemistry. You
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: go in for the handshake, they go in for the
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: fist bump, and it's super weird. And then every time
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: you see them are You're like, are we handshake buddies?
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: Are we fist bump? And you do it like seven
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: more times.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: That's watching JJ McCarthy and Justin Jefferson play quarterback and
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: wide receiver together. It's just so clunky and awkward. So
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that he wants no part of that.
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: I can't wait for the JJ McCarthy.
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: Could he be the next Sam Darnold Baker Mayfield conversations
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: in three years?
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: I cannot wait.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and how about Daniel Jones?
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: How the cults saying we don't care, we don't care
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: that you rubs your dear Achilles Jason table, you.
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: Come on, come on over.
• 48:49
  Speaker 5: In that division?
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: They could they could.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: I mean last year was such a charmed year for
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: them that at least at the start of it, then
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: it all fell apart for like ten days.
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: Those here's Anthony gonna go.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: Think the NFL is UFL is hiring.
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: Hey, he could be a mass pirate now down by
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: you like in or Layda.
• 49:14
  Speaker 5: He's an intriguing backup. He's an intriguing backup.
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, somebody will anytime you have that much athleticism.
• 49:20
  Speaker 5: Pitchburd backup.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: Rogers could definitely be.
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: I could see a Steeler. Oh my god, he would
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: look so good in black and gold.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: Put him with Kevin O'Connell. He fixes everybody.
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but you have Will Howard. I got him.
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: Now, Mmm, this is interesting you guys. Okay, last thing
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: for me. Do you think that the NFL has a
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: quarterback problem in the sense that there's not as much
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: talented as there used to be? Or do you think
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: it's a quarterback development problem? Do you think that these
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: teams are giving up on these guys too quick?
• 49:50
  Speaker 5: Quarterback development and patience? I think patience is a massive
• 49:54
  Speaker 5: and it's patients from everyone, the Internet, owners, fans like
• 49:58
  Speaker 5: everyone wants to win this secon. So I think it's development,
• 50:02
  Speaker 5: but I think it's also just patience.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: Great big time.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: I mean your Jacksonville Jaguars are a good example of
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: what we don't see much anymore.
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's just wait.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: We believe in this guy, We'll continue to try and
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: find the right coach for him, and then boom, now
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: he's in an MVP conversation.
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: Now we're dragging off.
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: No better way to end the pod than that be
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: on the lookout for the March Madness primer.
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: Four thousand words from Evan Abrams, pure brilliance on the way.
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: That'll do it for today's episode special Thanks to our
• 50:31
