- 2:17about the Super Bowl, how can you be sad at a
- 2:19time like this? I got killed yesterday gambling
- 2:23doing pretty well the day 5 -0 not a big deal
- 2:26But I got killed last night and I was like, you
- 2:29know what? I still got to watch a lot of college
- 2:31basketball. So it's not all that bad Yeah short
- 2:35answer doing pretty well. Oh Yeah, how are you
- 2:41Sean? Great fresh off a our Hockey League Championship
- 2:50Trash pandas are the rookie league champs as
- 2:54of yesterday Still riding that high the champ
- 2:58is here Shout out trash pandas in the greater
- 3:03Nashville area Yes, very very fun night Yeah,
- 3:10y 'all came through for the game and we learned
- 3:14that After the game y 'all got into the goalie's
- 3:20head Throughout the entire game y 'all were that
- 3:24loud and obnoxious and I love it. It was great.
- 3:28I Mean well, you obviously beat him because their
- 3:32goalie is mentally weak. So And that's what that's
- 3:36a rookie league goalie, you know, they're not
- 3:38moving up. They're not moving up a league you
- 3:40are They are not they are staying in rookie.
- 3:42We are moving up to D league because we're that
- 3:46good. Yeah But yeah, not everyone can take it,
- 3:51you know, not everyone can take this heat. Yeah,
- 3:53apparently the The goalie asked the ref to kick
- 3:57y 'all out When it was for nothing, so Pretty
- 4:02hilarious if you ask me I don't know that all
- 4:06to lick my butthole. All I gotta say is if you
- 4:10can't take the heat dude Stay out of the net
- 4:14like what what else what else? What do you expect?
- 4:18I mean, I know it's Rookie League and, you know,
- 4:21we don't get a ton. I mean, that was by far the
- 4:24most attended game of the entire two years, maybe,
- 4:29of the past two years. But damn, y 'all. Like,
- 4:34shout out to y 'all, for real. That was hilarious.
- 4:38It was hilarious hearing that. I don't think,
- 4:40I mean, I know, actually, we weren't like, like
- 4:44we were allowed, but we were not. obnoxious or
- 4:47rowdy like I don't think we were really even
- 4:49cursing which for us is kind of a miracle but
- 4:54like we were just like hey nerd like you suck
- 4:59we also we never said anything directed at the
- 5:03goal it was and mainly to sharpen the refs other
- 5:06than that I think we were just pretty pretty
- 5:09just what normal loud nothing crazy so yeah yeah
- 5:12that guy I mean Mental midget. Yeah. Okay. Yeah
- 5:18I mean honestly, we can't hear if you're you
- 5:22know saying stuff to us if an opposing fan said
- 5:26something to me about how I sucked I wouldn't
- 5:30have been able to hear it so Y 'all were just
- 5:34literally just cheering what probably after we
- 5:37scored those four goals like he was just over
- 5:40it which is looked like a rough night at the
- 5:43office, but got to blame someone, I guess. Yeah.
- 5:50Uh, yeah. Shout out y 'all. That was great. Uh,
- 5:54fun night. Um, but yeah, we're getting into the
- 5:58dog days of college basketball and, uh, I'm going
- 6:03to get back into it. Uh, I stopped for a little
- 6:05bit cause I ran out of money and, uh, haven't
- 6:10reloaded the sports book. I've also been busy
- 6:13doing other stuff, but you know Obviously I'll
- 6:18have picks like these This coming week because
- 6:22selection Sunday is this Sunday, correct? Yeah.
- 6:26Yeah, I'm so it's this is the best time of year
- 6:29I'm so excited. It may be the second best Sunday
- 6:32of the year I Would yeah, I think the Sunday
- 6:39of the like first week into the tournament is
- 6:42better than selection son selection Sunday is
- 6:44like Okay, like it's it's go time that yeah that
- 6:48first week into the tournament. Oh That just
- 6:52four days of just being a filthy degenerate it's
- 6:56the best We're all very very excited to be good
- 7:03for nothing lazy degenerates any of you gentlemen
- 7:06getting vasectomies Not this year. No, okay.
- 7:11Well, we can gloss over that then We brought
- 7:14it up a couple times on the show, you know when
- 7:16March Madness rolls around but it's the highest
- 7:19percentage of when men get vasectomies, which
- 7:22is Probably the biggest brain move a man can
- 7:27have if I'm being real. Yeah Yeah, it's a it's
- 7:32a cheap surgery, you know, it's kind of like,
- 7:35you know when you like neuter your dog it's like,
- 7:37you know You know, they they're they lower their
- 7:40chances of getting testicular cancer. And so
- 7:43it's like alright, this isn't this isn't too
- 7:45bad, you know And it's sort of the same for men
- 7:49obviously because your nuts are going away, but
- 7:52at the same time Since it lowers your you know
- 7:57susceptibility to getting Testicular cancer then
- 8:01it's like okay, you like your health insurance
- 8:03helps you out. And so it's like This isn't that
- 8:08much money you know this would you pay you know
- 8:12a couple hundred bucks to uh get your nuts chopped
- 8:15off just so you can sit on the couch and watch
- 8:19college football i feel like i feel like you've
- 8:25already come to your decision that you are doing
- 8:27it okay i was gonna say i think there are less
- 8:29drastic steps that you could take first but but
- 8:32if i were to pick a day yeah it would be Well,
- 8:36whatever the recovery time is for Like the day
- 8:40before so I yeah, I can have the whole weekend
- 8:42to just Be myself. Yeah. Mm -hmm. I guess I guess
- 8:48the better choice of words would be You know
- 8:53a couple hundred bucks minor procedure And then
- 8:58you know, you're you you have you've got to sit
- 9:01on the couch you have to the doctor told you
- 9:04so Pick a better time. You can't do it Yeah,
- 9:10and another thing with vasectomies is you know,
- 9:12you got to get out like 25 loads before like
- 9:18You're shooting blanks. Yeah. I mean you got
- 9:22to do something It sounds like a pretty cool
- 9:24weekend. If you ask me like post Yeah, after
- 9:29you get it done you got a you know 25 times you
- 9:34got to get it just to You got to make certain
- 9:37amount of time. Is there a time for now? OK,
- 9:40it's not a time frame, but I don't know if it's
- 9:42just three days or something. That's going to
- 9:45feel like work pretty quick. I think the thing
- 9:49like after you're done like healing, then you
- 9:52have to enter completion 25 times and then and
- 9:59then they check your your swimmers to see if
- 10:01they're still there. So it's kind of like a Insurance
- 10:07policy I guess making sure the thing did the
- 10:11thing you that you needed to do you have to clear
- 10:14the chamber Yeah, that's that's the best way
- 10:16to put it like cuz I mean there could still be
- 10:19you know swimmers in there So you don't want
- 10:21to use like oh, I got it done. Oh wife's pregnant
- 10:25How'd that happen? You know? That'd be rough.
- 10:30There's still one in the barrel. Yeah One left
- 10:34in the barrel. It's like right all right well
- 10:42nut talk is over um yeah my mom usually listens
- 10:45to like the first 10 minutes of this so she probably
- 10:48doesn't really love this shout out miss dixon
- 10:51shout out um well i guess i'll start from the
- 10:57top here um in the most tragic news possible
- 11:01with nfl free agency nick westbrook akine is
- 11:05no longer a Tennessee Titan. And they didn't
- 11:09really even pay him all that much money. No.
- 11:12Six and a half. That's his total, though. Yeah,
- 11:17for two years. Yeah, six and a half for two years,
- 11:20yeah. Yeah. So he's getting 3 .25. Three and
- 11:23a quarter a year to be the best wide receiver
- 11:26in football. We couldn't give him 3 -3. Thanks
- 11:28a lot, Callahan. There's no state tax here. He
- 11:33would have gotten more money. We could have paid
- 11:35him less money and he would have made more money.
- 11:37Does Florida do state tax too? I don't think
- 11:41they have state tax either, never mind. Whoops.
- 11:47That was the worst. Him and Stonehouse both gone.
- 11:52Where do we go from here? Those are the two guys
- 11:57we had that were good football players. You mean
- 12:00our leading touchdown scorer? That's the thing
- 12:04like I know like we joke around about yeah, I
- 12:07can you being we do God's gift of football He
- 12:10did still lead the team touchdown receptions
- 12:13by a whole lot He led like veteran pros. Yeah,
- 12:19like he had at one point He had more touchdowns
- 12:22than like CD lamb and like teens. Yeah, like
- 12:26some teams. Yes, and Like I'm not saying give
- 12:31him Like, yeah, like a some monster contract,
- 12:35but we couldn't match six and a half. Or I didn't
- 12:39want to, whatever. This what are we doing? Also,
- 12:43they know he's a fan favorite. And they're just
- 12:46like, no, fuck off. Mm hmm. If we were to resign
- 12:51them, I would have seriously considered getting
- 12:53just NWI. Oh, just nameplate NWI. NWI. I still
- 12:59want the. Westbury and Kenia Oilers Jersey Be
- 13:03sick. I could probably get one real cheap now.
- 13:05So actually you could probably it's probably
- 13:07on sale Actually, not a not a bad idea. I've
- 13:09been doing that as we're recording. We'll see
- 13:12But it seems like Just to briefly touch on the
- 13:20Titans before we go run the league it seemed
- 13:22you know We signed a left tackle from the Steelers
- 13:25who seems alright which tells me that They're
- 13:29moving J .C. Latham back on right tackle. And
- 13:33then we signed a guard today, I think. Which
- 13:37kind of tells me. I mean, if we're beefing up
- 13:41the O line. We're we're we're we're going to
- 13:45draft the quarterback like we're going to draft
- 13:46a quarterback. And. It's not what I would have
- 13:52done, but. Just because I feel like we have so
- 13:56many more holes. But I don't know, you know,
- 13:59we'll see what happens. Who the hell cares? We're
- 14:02probably going to make the wrong move anyway.
- 14:05What do I know? Anyway, that's kind of been my
- 14:09thought process. So it's like whatever happens,
- 14:12like I'm not going to be happy about it. I'm
- 14:15not going to be mad about it. I'm just going
- 14:16to see what happens and then it probably won't
- 14:19work out and then I'll get mad. That's kind of
- 14:22been my thought process for really the last three
- 14:24years, at least in terms of the draft. Yeah,
- 14:28like except well, I was fierce when we dropped
- 14:30a world lettuce But then I was right. I was right.
- 14:33You thought about it But then then you decided
- 14:36not to be upset. Yeah, I wish I had listened
- 14:40to Original Chris estate because he was a hundred
- 14:43percent, right? Yep, then that damn Falcons game
- 14:47happened and I sold my soul Yeah, we all did
- 14:54man he threw so many interceptions that's wild
- 14:58So many they were all bad. You were all so bad,
- 15:02too. Yeah Golly, dude, I don't know whatever
- 15:07but it's all right cam ward Cheddar Sanders.
- 15:10Well, maybe even Kirk Cousins one of them will
- 15:13be here next year a Quarterback will be here
- 15:17next year He was not named well levels. Well,
- 15:21we'll love will still be here, but he won't start
- 15:24Right. Yeah, he'll still be here He'll be around.
- 15:28He'll be like parking cars or something. Yeah.
- 15:35Alright, well, I guess I should have pulled this
- 15:37up. But what other moves happened? I mean, the
- 15:42big ones, DK, Steelers, Sam Darnold, Seahawks.
- 15:53That's a little surprising. I think he's gonna
- 15:56suck next year. Probably. He's probably gonna
- 15:59suck because the Seahawks have no receivers anymore
- 16:03and Isn't their align kind of terrible too? I
- 16:09think I watched one Seahawks game last year.
- 16:11I don't know, I couldn't tell you. I thought
- 16:13I remembered something about their align being
- 16:14kind of bad. Yeah, don't know, couldn't tell
- 16:17you. Interesting I am on the NFL's like Instagram
- 16:23page and in their bio says offseason progress
- 16:27bar and it's at 14 % I don't know if you can
- 16:31see that so I Don't like that. I feel like they're
- 16:36teasing us like with a loading bar of when September
- 16:41comes around but there's just a countdown. Yeah,
- 16:44I guess whatever Yeah Chargers also released
- 16:51Joey Bosa Kind of sound with the bills didn't
- 16:54yeah, he signed with the bills after they released
- 16:56Vaughn Miller Kind of an upgrade yeah, I mean
- 17:03Younger better like that's definitely an upgrade.
- 17:07I don't know how much they're paying I didn't
- 17:09see that I didn't see the breakdown of it, but
- 17:12yeah a one -year twelve point six million dollars
- 17:17They only got one year. Yeah. Damn. Wow. That's
- 17:23surprising. He wasn't bad. No, I mean, he's not
- 17:27like what he was like a couple years ago. He's
- 17:29so good. Yeah. I mean, like, you know, he was
- 17:33on the Chargers. That's surprising. The Browns.
- 17:45Freaking. Miles Garrett wanted to trade and they
- 17:48were like, hey, how about we? give you all of
- 17:52our money and Then he was like that sounds pretty
- 17:57cool. I'll do that. I Like to I like to imagine
- 18:03the GM walked into the office or met with Garrett
- 18:08and was like, okay I know you want to trade hear
- 18:11me out. We give you However fucking much money
- 18:15what I don't remember how click a lot of many
- 18:18many millions of dollars and We also trade for
- 18:21a Super Bowl winning quarterback and miles Garrett's
- 18:24like fuck. Yeah, sign me up for that He gets
- 18:27his money two days later He checks his phone
- 18:29and the Cleveland Browns have traded for Super
- 18:31Bowl winning quarterback. Can you pick? I Think
- 18:36they uh, they fulfilled their promise. Yeah conversation
- 18:40went down. I in my head it definitely I do think
- 18:48we need to touch on the Jackson shit Jaguars
- 18:52Because I think they are blowing up Yeah, but
- 18:58like they are making some very questionable moves
- 19:03for any Yes, they are loading everyone. They
- 19:08are they are dumping people on the street. Yeah
- 19:12They traded Christian Kirk for a bag of peanuts
- 19:15to their division rival the Houston Texans They
- 19:20released Evan Ingram who is by far like one of
- 19:23the best tight ends in the league Probably their
- 19:27best player besides Trevor Lawrence It's not
- 19:31even that's disputable right now But yeah, they
- 19:36also released Duvernay and Darby And they also
- 19:41released Josh Reynolds. Titans legend. Titans
- 19:47legend, obviously. I didn't even know he played
- 19:50for the Jags, if I'm being perfectly honest.
- 19:52Yeah, whatever. Yeah, they are... They are just
- 20:00like dumping guys. They're just like, alright,
- 20:03you can go. What did they trade Kirk for? It
- 20:09was just like a late round pick or something
- 20:11wasn't it? It was uh, I was trying to find it,
- 20:15but my phone's being slow Well, Sean is trying
- 20:23to find this other news deandre hopkins signs
- 20:25with the ravens He's I think he'll play out this
- 20:32contract and retire yeah I mean he's ring -chasing
- 20:38it at this point which but I also can't blame
- 20:40him like He's also very open about it Yeah, he's
- 20:45like I respect it. Yeah, I mean so yeah, they
- 20:49traded Christian Kirk for a 2026 seventh round
- 20:53pick so two years later didn't they give him
- 20:58like 70 million dollars or something Christian
- 21:01Kirk is the reason we They did. The Titans did
- 21:04not sign A .J. Brown. And then they. He set the
- 21:09he set the precedent for it, yes, but also they
- 21:11gave him the mass manager. They gave him the
- 21:15bag for absolutely no reason. No, I agree with
- 21:20that. That is true. He'd set like an outrageous
- 21:23precedent for the Jags, I should say, and the
- 21:26wide receiver market. But no, it was our dumbass
- 21:29general manager. For why he got traded. Because
- 21:32we could have paid him. It wasn't like we had
- 21:34no money. Well, the thing was is that Christian
- 21:37Kirk set the market for Oh the free agency wide
- 21:42receivers like this is what you have to pay For
- 21:45me to resign with you Or trade me And we couldn't
- 21:50match But then we end up giving d hop this like
- 21:54a bigger deal than we would have ever given it
- 21:57I don't think it was we couldn't it was We didn't
- 22:00chose not to so it wasn't like that. Oh shit.
- 22:03We just have no money. It was our again fucking
- 22:07John Robinson was just like well Have you seen
- 22:11fucking trailing Burke's like he he's gonna be
- 22:13better than you So we're just gonna draft him
- 22:15and tell you to fuck off AJ Brown yeah, I really
- 22:19hate griping over things that happened, you know
- 22:21three years ago, but It's just such a it's such
- 22:25a prevalent like timestamp in when the titans
- 22:30got bad yep it is just so it is the downfall
- 22:35of the titans and there have been many downfalls
- 22:39but the most recent one was the 2022 right 2022
- 22:48nfl draft yeah i believe that is correct it was
- 22:51three years ago sounds right yeah um yeah but
- 22:56i was I didn't know we're going to go on that
- 22:59tangent with it, even though that's made some
- 23:01good points, but I was they gave him 70 something
- 23:04million dollars, 80 million dollars, and they
- 23:06trade him for a seventh round pick two years
- 23:09from now. Just a bang up job they're doing down
- 23:12there. Yeah. Oh, well, I mean, they're going
- 23:19to be bad again. Good. I mean, if we're going
- 23:23to be shit, we might as well have to be shit.
- 23:27Hey, One -in -one yet again, you know All right,
- 23:35um other things I mean it seems like the Steelers
- 23:38are kind of loading up here I mean they gotta
- 23:41make Aaron want to come Is that uh, I think it's
- 23:46yeah, it's Pittsburgh or the jet or the jets
- 23:49the Giants Yeah, I wouldn't want to go there
- 23:53rather would you rather have uh Russell Wilson
- 23:57or Aaron Rodgers Because I think if you look
- 24:02at if they if these two quarterbacks are both
- 24:05doors both of those doors lead to Nine and eight
- 24:10seasons. Yeah, I was gonna say it like there's
- 24:13your other Would you rather go nine and eight
- 24:15with a good guy? Who's just corny or a fucking
- 24:19asshole drug addict? Which one is thrown for
- 24:27more yards? Hmm. Well, that's the question. Also,
- 24:34Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, and George Pickens
- 24:37in a locker room. Like, I need, I haven't watched
- 24:40Hard Knocks in a long time. If they get Hard
- 24:43Knocks, I'm gonna watch that. Just talking about
- 24:47just three. I mean, I've never met them obviously,
- 24:50but just seem like just not the best dudes, especially
- 24:54when things aren't going their way. So that would
- 24:57just be pure entertainment gold. Right. Real
- 25:02meeting of the minds. Not a locker room. Of all
- 25:08the memes, it's just like, uh huh. Russell Wilson,
- 25:13like, incomplete pass. George Pickens and DK
- 25:16Metcalf, ten yards down the field, and it's just
- 25:19them beating the shit out of us. Did that that
- 25:27fucking guy he's a hothead DK that is just crazy
- 25:33What are the vikings do now? Do they go JJ or
- 25:40or do they bring Kirk back? Probably not but
- 25:47it's fun to imagine Yeah, I mean you got to roll
- 25:52it with JJ, but that would be wild if they brought
- 25:54curry back Oh, you just wasted that traffic.
- 25:58Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Be funny Gino to the Raiders
- 26:06back with yeah, that's like When I saw that I
- 26:09was like, that's probably one of the least surprising
- 26:11like trades I think Just just because it is Pete
- 26:19Carroll And like. Raiders desperately needed
- 26:24a warm body in quarterback. Desperately needed
- 26:29a just a. Just basically a mannequin like they
- 26:34just needed somebody back there. And, you know,
- 26:38Gino has. He's been proven himself, you know,
- 26:42these past four years, he's been playing really
- 26:45great ball. And I hope that. There I mean that
- 26:50the Raiders offense is It is shit. Yeah, it is
- 26:55shit, but If they can make some moves, you never
- 26:59know. Yeah. Thank you. I don't know. Yep. Also
- 27:02Max Crosby Got that bad. Yeah, he did fuck 100
- 27:09100 mil guaranteed something like that. Yeah,
- 27:13is that was that the biggest he signed up before
- 27:15Garrett didn't he I think so Was it the biggest
- 27:18for a defensive player at the time? Yeah. Because
- 27:22Garrett broke it. But yeah, like a week later.
- 27:25But yeah. As these things do happen, you know.
- 27:29Yeah. I mean, it used to be a big deal when someone
- 27:32became the highest paid football player of all
- 27:34time. Now it just feels like it happens three
- 27:37times every offseason. Yeah, it happens every
- 27:39year, like at least two or three times. Yeah.
- 27:43Yeah. I mean, like Josh Allen's new contract.
- 27:46I was just about to bring that up. 250 million
- 27:50dollars guaranteed. But that's not the highest,
- 27:53like, quarterback contract. Is it not? I don't
- 27:59think so. I think he actually... I'm pretty sure
- 28:05other guys get paid more than him. I don't know
- 28:08what Mahomes' guaranteed money is, and I know
- 28:12they've reworked it a billion times. Pretty sure
- 28:16when he first signed it, it was about half a
- 28:18bill. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it was. Yeah, I remember
- 28:23that now. It was 10 years, 500 million dollars.
- 28:26Yeah. Yeah. And again, like they've, I don't
- 28:29know what was guaranteed. They've reworked it
- 28:31a bunch of times because it's absurd. But yeah,
- 28:36good for him. The cap isn't real. It's not. It's
- 28:40not real. But I it's I think it was something
- 28:45like He kind of He got paid obviously, you know,
- 28:52like he this is a huge contract for him. He's
- 28:54getting 300 million dollars, but I think in like
- 28:59When it comes down to it like he actually took
- 29:03some type of pay cut to like You know build a
- 29:07team around him. Yeah, I could be wrong But I
- 29:12don't think he has the biggest quarterback contract.
- 29:18I don't think so. We're going to talk about the
- 29:22Cowboys. Oh, sorry. I thought we were done with
- 29:24Josh. No, I was just going to say I still think
- 29:27that's Jaylen. Like. I think Jaylen has the biggest,
- 29:31which. Proved it. Roll MVP. Yeah, proved it.
- 29:36Yeah, I forgot about his deal. Yeah. Yeah. What
- 29:41about the Cowboys, Chris? They're back. Oh, they
- 29:45are. They signed Trent Sieg. Okay. Long Snapper.
- 29:51Uh -huh. They're back. That's all they've done.
- 29:54They're back. They got somebody from us today.
- 30:01Oh, I'm sure. Was it Kenneth Murray? I think
- 30:03it was Kenneth Murray. Yeah. Good for them. I
- 30:09mean, I mean, I'm I'm just kind of building on
- 30:13your argument Chris I mean, no, it's I mean then
- 30:15they lost Rico Daddle. He went to he signed with
- 30:17Carolina Carolina. Yeah. Mm -hmm. So Like a field
- 30:23the team Draft and everything but like Yeah,
- 30:33you have to have players to play a game and you
- 30:37need Jerry doesn't do anything at least with
- 30:41free agents is why? Jerry Jerry is in a constant
- 30:47battle with the Sun They are probably going to
- 30:53end up getting Cooper Cup though That makes sense
- 30:57I can see that yeah Cooper like that's such a
- 31:01big name like to just bring in to like obviously
- 31:05the biggest franchise in the NFL like money wise.
- 31:11That's that's going to sell some jerseys. Jerry
- 31:13likes that. I did see this wild cowboy stat a
- 31:18couple of days ago on Twitter that says the Cowboys
- 31:21have not signed a free agent from another team
- 31:23for over six million dollars a year and since
- 31:262015 when they signed Greg Hardy. Wow. So so
- 31:31maybe that's why Jerry last time he somewhat
- 31:34opened his. Pocketbook it didn't go well at all
- 31:39Do you have the Hardy numbers in front of you?
- 31:43Oh, no, I just saw the tweet cuz I'd be interested
- 31:46to see if it was like seven You know like something
- 31:50like six point two Yeah Yeah, I I don't know
- 31:59what I mean the obviously Cooper Cup got released
- 32:02today So I don't know if he's in talks with anybody
- 32:08yet, but I could just see him as a Dallas Cowboy.
- 32:14I think it just makes sense. That makes sense.
- 32:18Yeah. Yeah. So Greg Hardy signed a one -year,
- 32:22$11 million deal in 2015, and the Cowboys have
- 32:26not paid another player from an opposing team
- 32:29to come play there more than $6 million a year
- 32:32since 10 years. Well, it's obviously worked out
- 32:36for him You know since 2015 they've had nothing
- 32:41but success in Doing you know that that type
- 32:45of strategy? So I say just let them keep rolling
- 32:48You know those few exciting wins you get every
- 32:54year, you know They're fun Balls fun The Colts.
- 33:05No, we got to talk about this. Big move. Yes.
- 33:07Big move. Daniel Jones. Yeah, I mean, what a
- 33:14just think tank of a QB room they got. Him, Tony
- 33:19Richardson and I don't know, some practice squad
- 33:23guy. I'm the only one who can call him Tony.
- 33:26Oh, my bad. We're friends. You're not friends
- 33:29with him. with Daniel Jones and mr. Richardson
- 33:33and Thank you, whoever else they got cleaning
- 33:36the toilets over there like this And he's gonna
- 33:41start like Probably a decent amount of games
- 33:46because anything Richardson always hurt and is
- 33:50ass so Gentlemen would you gentlemen care to
- 33:57guess who the lowest? Passer rating in the NFL
- 34:01over the past two years are Like there's only
- 34:06two of them two quarterbacks Would you care to
- 34:08guess the lowest passer rating in the NFL? Over
- 34:13the past two years. I'm not is it Daniel Jones?
- 34:17Yes, and Anthony Richardson. Yes I wouldn't I
- 34:21would have guessed there Jones. I wouldn't have
- 34:23guessed Anthony Richardson. We weren't already
- 34:24talking about him. Yes. Yes. That's why I brought
- 34:26it up so Colts, big moves, big fan. He's going
- 34:34to torch us like one game next year. He's going
- 34:37to come in and throw for like three fifty four
- 34:40touchdowns. Yeah. Oh, man. I thought I found
- 34:47that stat the other day. I saved it. Ready to
- 34:51I had that one in the chamber, like ready to
- 34:54fire that one up. That's I didn't see that. That's
- 34:57fantastic. Way to go in the just crap. I mean
- 35:01just crushing it. We're not doing shit either,
- 35:03but just Good for them keeping the legacy of
- 35:07excellence alive. I Want to get into a discussion
- 35:11that we had last night after my game and it is
- 35:17What do the Titans do with the one one one Chris
- 35:25what do you think the Titans should do with the
- 35:27one one? Okay, should do what? Okay, what I would
- 35:34do is draft or trade back, draft Abdul Carter,
- 35:40and then get a quarterback and read and say that
- 35:42Kirk Cousins. What I think they're gonna do and
- 35:46kind of what Will alluded to earlier, they're
- 35:48loading up the Ola, I almost said loading up
- 35:49this on one guy, but or I guess two, but they're
- 35:52making moves to where it seems like we're gonna
- 35:54draft either cam or should or which I assume
- 35:57it will be cam ward, but. Which I like him, but
- 36:01I don't know. It's kind of like what I said earlier.
- 36:05I'm just more waiting for whatever we do to fail,
- 36:10which I guess is a very cynical way to approach
- 36:13it, but it's just kind of where we are with the
- 36:16whole thing. Like I said, what I would do, trade
- 36:22back, draft Carter, get a quarterback for agency.
- 36:25I think they're going to draft Ken Ward. Yeah
- 36:31If there is a pick in the draft if we're gonna
- 36:35get a quarterback I would rather it be cam ward
- 36:39Obviously, I still don't really know about chador
- 36:45He just seems like a bust, you know, like he
- 36:51he has like all the signs of a bust almost Don't
- 36:56know I I really hope I don't eat those words,
- 36:59you know, yeah But He's got the better arm of
- 37:06the two but he's became where is a far better
- 37:10athlete He should or holds onto the ball way
- 37:13too long, which behind our wet tissue paper offensive
- 37:16line would be a disaster I just yeah, he's just
- 37:21if he can You could say this about any bust,
- 37:26but if he can like adapt and he's gonna have
- 37:28to adapt very quickly Then he could be really
- 37:31good, but I still think him word is I'm saying
- 37:34miles better, but I think it's a obvious choice
- 37:37Yeah between the two Yeah Well, yeah, I I do
- 37:46agree I think they should trade back to the Browns
- 37:50just go one two one You know, with the Browns.
- 37:55Get their first round for next year. Load up
- 37:58for next year. Still have two first rounds next
- 38:01year. You can still get Abdul. They're going
- 38:05to take Kam Ward or Shador, probably Kam Ward.
- 38:11I mean, I think, I mean, everything I've seen
- 38:14is Abdul is the best player in this draft. And
- 38:18he is. Going to be a force to be reckoned with
- 38:23if you have him on your team. Yes, and I'm not
- 38:26gonna say no to that I'm really not like Not
- 38:30gonna say I I would rather I would rather have
- 38:32a duel than any quarterback right now I'd rather
- 38:37run it back with Levitz or Levitz Levis Next
- 38:44year suck, you know still get a high -ranking
- 38:47draft position Browns are gonna suck, probably.
- 38:51Get two high -ranking first -round picks next
- 38:56year. Also, this class is weak, so to speak.
- 39:03You know, it's not the strongest. I'm not sure
- 39:06what the draft class looks like for next year,
- 39:08but guys break out all the time. I don't know.
- 39:16I do agree. Whatever the titans are gonna do
- 39:19they're gonna fuck it up And it's it's the same
- 39:21way. I think I had the same take with the bears,
- 39:24you know With justin fields. It's like it doesn't
- 39:27matter what they do. They're gonna fuck it up
- 39:29And justin fields not very good this year He's
- 39:33fine. I guess um, not very good. Not what they
- 39:36were hoping for. Uh, certainly but Yeah, um will
- 39:43What are your thoughts on this? so My thoughts
- 39:48on this are kind of like This is actually a brand
- 39:52new thought I've had in the past five minutes
- 39:54It's so I think we should trade back and Kind
- 40:03of what we do with whatever pick we end up trading
- 40:06back with whatever team we we end up trading
- 40:10back with I am I am open to it being either Abdul
- 40:16Carter or cam ward or someone else My I guess
- 40:23my whole kind of take that I want to base this
- 40:27off of is we have way more holes then then what's
- 40:34what we should have and From my point of view.
- 40:37It's kind of like all right if we trade back
- 40:40a couple of spots You know, I mean I'd have to
- 40:45look at the draft order but I mean if we can
- 40:48trade back to like five or six depending on teams
- 40:52that may or may not take a quarterback then it's
- 40:54like we could trade back and get a quarterback
- 40:57and you know get get someone next year or we
- 41:01could trade back and get Abdul Carter and then
- 41:03get a quarterback next year it's it's like both
- 41:06of y 'all's takes but also like I don't know
- 41:11I'm open to Either outcome It's just like I want
- 41:18the kind of like main point of what I would like
- 41:21to happen what I think they should do is We just
- 41:24need to acquire more picks Yes, so it's it's
- 41:29not necessarily, you know Do we need a quarterback?
- 41:33Yes. Do we need a defensive lineman? Yes, we
- 41:36just Let let we just released Harold Landry.
- 41:39Like do we need a fucking linebacker? Yeah, like
- 41:42do we need Do we need another another safety?
- 41:45Yeah. Do we need an offensive lineman? Yeah.
- 41:48Yeah. So it's kind of like, trade back. Take
- 41:53the best available player. And because, you know,
- 41:59the more more more darts you got more shots you
- 42:02can take, you know, it's that's that's kind of
- 42:05my my take. It's very similar to y 'alls. But
- 42:08I don't know, I guess more open minded. I don't
- 42:11know this. seems like the first time since like,
- 42:17the AJ trade and like where since the Titans
- 42:20have like felt fall on fallen off that they're
- 42:23actually going to blow it up what little there
- 42:26was there and rebuild. Like I want to blow up
- 42:30completely. We'll still keep like, we'll still
- 42:33keep most of our good players. But like, we tried
- 42:36to like do this whole like, rebuild but it's
- 42:39not a rebuild by bringing in like established
- 42:41talent and everything. That didn't work out,
- 42:44obviously, at all. So now I think they're finally
- 42:46being like, okay, like, let's just cut our, like,
- 42:50let's just actually get draft picks. And I think
- 42:52that's, I mean, that's step one of doing it is
- 42:55trading back and just acquiring as many draft
- 42:57picks as possible. And then hopefully half, a
- 43:01little bit more than half of those draft picks
- 43:03turn out to be really fucking good footballers.
- 43:05I think that's just kind of what you hope for
- 43:06in a rebuild, which it finally seems like we're
- 43:09committing to it now. Thank God. Right. And I
- 43:16do want to, you know, preface this with, you
- 43:19know, putting a draft value grade on someone
- 43:24worthy of a one one. That's, that's a lot. That's
- 43:29a lot. For me, personally, it, it just kind of
- 43:34feels like I mean, honestly, if you take a defensive
- 43:38player one one, like that's That's not gonna
- 43:42work out. Just in my eyes, that's not really
- 43:44gonna work out. Like Trevon Walker, that the
- 43:47Jags took 1 -1. Yeah, he's a good player. But
- 43:51like, how effective can that one player be? You
- 43:58know? It's like, I don't think they should take
- 44:00offensive lineman 1 -1 either, because it's just
- 44:04not... The best thing you can say about an O
- 44:08lineman... is like that you didn't notice them.
- 44:12You know? Yeah, he's the only one I want to notice.
- 44:16Yeah, so you only know the shitty ones and the
- 44:18really, really like best of all time. Yeah, other
- 44:22than that, you just nameless faceless. Big old
- 44:27dude up front. Yeah, and so like. I mean, in
- 44:32my head, I'm just like. You take a quarterback
- 44:35one one. Or maybe maybe a Maybe a fucking wide
- 44:42receiver, but like that's kind of it with me
- 44:46personally I Was thinking about this. I mean
- 44:50I've thought about this a few times how many?
- 44:55Cord backs who were drafted one one really Didn't
- 45:00like I would like to see a pie chart of that
- 45:03because Thinking of like the best quarterbacks
- 45:06in the league right now, like Lamar was late
- 45:09round, it was a not late round, late first round
- 45:11draft pick. Baker, obviously he was 1 -1. He
- 45:17didn't work out in Cleveland, but he is serviceable.
- 45:20I would say he is not like they, he, he was a
- 45:23bust in Cleveland. Like he was, whether it was
- 45:27his fault injuries, whatever you want to call
- 45:29it. It didn't work out. I can actually answer
- 45:32this for you. Okay. It's been since 2004 when
- 45:36Eli Manning was drafted 1 -1. He's the only quarterback
- 45:40who has won a Super Bowl, who was drafted as
- 45:43a quarterback 1 -1 to win a Super Bowl. And he
- 45:47didn't even play, he didn't play a down for the
- 45:49team that drafted. He was drafted by the Chargers.
- 45:54That's very true. Was it Matt Stafford 1 -1?
- 45:59Was he? Oh, yeah. True. 2009, I guess. But he
- 46:04won a Super Bowl with the Rams. He didn't win
- 46:07with the Lions. No, that's different. But also,
- 46:11also, Eli Manning never played it down. Like
- 46:12you said, he played it down for the Chargers.
- 46:15So when was the last time a 1 -1 quarterback?
- 46:19You don't have to look this up now. I think it
- 46:22might be Peyton or he was too. He wasn't because
- 46:28Ryan Leaf was too. Ryan Lee was one because he's
- 46:34been known as like the biggest draft bust of
- 46:37all time Come on Wikipedia is like list of first
- 46:42overall draft pick NFL draft picks I don't know
- 46:51But What is this I don't know. Yeah, I was just
- 47:00thinking like the last however many quarterbacks
- 47:04have gone 1 -1 just doesn't work out. That's
- 47:10true. So I think you should, I don't know if
- 47:12this is a fruitful strategy or not, but if you
- 47:14have like a high pick, don't draft a fucking
- 47:17quarterback. Draft one, hopefully you stumble
- 47:20onto one mid, like mid first round or later rounds
- 47:24or get one in for the agents. Don't draft quarterback
- 47:271 -1. ever well I'm gonna bring this up because
- 47:32I was curious of How many new NFL GM's have chosen
- 47:37first overall? and in the last 50 years 15 out
- 47:44of the 20 teams earning the number one pick and
- 47:47having a new GM in the same offseason have either
- 47:52Drafted a quarterback or traded away the pick
- 47:5715 out of 20 so the scenario for the Titans is
- 48:04New GM holding their number one pick his tree
- 48:07says they will either draft a quarterback or
- 48:11trade the pick away Which is exactly what we're
- 48:14talking about. I don't trade it honest like yeah,
- 48:18I Should I think they should trip looking at
- 48:22that stat though like if you're a new GM And
- 48:27you've got the first overall pick with your new
- 48:29team, and this is the team you're going to build.
- 48:32It does make sense to draft a quarter pack. Because
- 48:35this is your guy. This is the guy you are building
- 48:38around for the future. It does make sense. Like,
- 48:42you didn't draft this guy. You didn't draft Will
- 48:45Levis. Some idiot drafted Will Levis. Yes, some
- 48:51idiot drafted Will Levis. I also think it's a
- 48:56measure of job security. If you draft a quarterback,
- 49:00you want to say you ideally have job security
- 49:02for at least four years, maybe five, because
- 49:06it is very much like he is your guy. You're both
- 49:09starting this quote unquote building up from
- 49:12nothing together with around this guy. But also,
- 49:17let's say he's just average middle of the road,
- 49:20or even if he's just bad, you can be like, well,
- 49:23Let's just keep trying to develop them. Give
- 49:25me one more year and I can keep doing this and
- 49:28you just keep you get job security I think for
- 49:30at least four years maybe five if they exercise
- 49:33as often I Think that's just a another component
- 49:37to it. That's not the sole reason obviously absolutely
- 49:41makes a lot of sense when When we had the number
- 49:47one pick last time and traded it Was that j -robs
- 49:50first year? It's 2014. That's a good question.
- 50:04I want to say, yes. I do too, but I don't know
- 50:07for sure. 2014 was Taylor Luan. What year did
- 50:14we trade the number one pick then? That we turned
- 50:17into like Derek Henry and all these other guys.
- 50:21We traded to the Rams for, and they drafted golf.
- 50:24Maybe it was 15. I think it was 15. Well 15 was
- 50:28Marcus. What year did, fuck, I don't know. What
- 50:31year did Goff draft? He was two. Because they
- 50:36drafted Goff. Goff was 2016. No, it was 16. Okay.
- 50:43So, okay. Yeah, moved down draft order and trade
- 50:47with Los Angeles Rams, then traded with Cleveland
- 50:50Browns. Okay, so we drafted Jack Conklin. Tackle
- 50:57That year yeah Let me see if I can find that
- 51:02tree but I remember I just remember seeing like
- 51:07Like graphics stuff is like the Titans flip the
- 51:10number one overall pick to this and it was like
- 51:12Ramsgate Jared Goff Titans got like Derek Henry
- 51:14I want to say like John who Smith was it like
- 51:17a bunch of guys who are like like We did pretty
- 51:20well Dick all the show for it, but we did pretty
- 51:23well for that trade. I Think that might have
- 51:26also been the Kevin Byer draft Yeah, they all
- 51:30run together. I honestly don't remember but that
- 51:33timeline adds up. Yeah, I remember looking at
- 51:36that draft class and I think they hit on like
- 51:41Like most of them. I think it was the last real
- 51:45like good draft class we had yeah, cuz I think
- 51:49I think we drafted Nate Davis that year, too.
- 51:52He was a good guard. Yeah, and Conklin was good.
- 51:57I mean, he had success in Cleveland for a while.
- 51:59We just couldn't afford to keep him fucking.
- 52:04Hate the NFL. I want all the good players to
- 52:07play for my team. Yeah. Well, yeah, that was
- 52:13kind of what I was thinking. I was like, just
- 52:15if I was a GM, I'd probably get fired, but I
- 52:17would never draft quarterback. trade it or get
- 52:20like at some other skill position because it
- 52:24never works out yeah it's um i don't know it
- 52:30feels like being at the one one it's almost like
- 52:34uh unless i mean unless you win a super bowl
- 52:38like you it's not a win situation because it's
- 52:42it's like it's kind of like when the titans had
- 52:47the second pick they got Marcus it was but you
- 52:51know before the draft happened it was pretty
- 52:53clear like well the Titans are just gonna take
- 52:56over the the bucks don't take and then so and
- 53:00that's kind of a a win -win sort of I guess if
- 53:04you think about it just because like regardless
- 53:07of the players but like you take the guy the
- 53:12other guy that's left over it's like all right
- 53:15you're our guy Because we had no choice. So if
- 53:20we win, I'm going to look like a genius. But
- 53:23if we don't win, what am I supposed to do? You
- 53:26were the only guy. Yeah. You were the best. Yeah.
- 53:29You could say, well, we wanted Jameis. And he
- 53:32would have been good with us, I swear. Yeah.
- 53:35So this is what the Rams traded to the Titans
- 53:39for the first overall pick. 2016 first round
- 53:42pick. 2016 second -round pick 2016 second -round
- 53:47pick 2016 third -round pick 2017 first -round
- 53:52pick and 2017 third -round pick those players
- 53:55turned into Jack Conklin Austin Johnson Derek
- 53:59Henry Lassonde shims Kalan Reid Corey Davis and
- 54:04John New Smith Titans obviously got the better
- 54:08deal obviously, but I don't know I might be well
- 54:13if You know, if we could recreate this trade
- 54:17this year and get, you know, those eight guys
- 54:21for like what we got trade back eight slots,
- 54:24I'd probably I'd probably do that right now.
- 54:27I take another Hall of Fame running back. Yeah,
- 54:30I probably do that right now. Yeah, it just drafting
- 54:36quarterback one one reminds me of the Arrested
- 54:38Development thing with like Tobias and Lindsey
- 54:40when they've set up an open marriage. It's like,
- 54:42no. An open marriage never works out for anyone,
- 54:45but it might just work for us. It's always the
- 54:54thought. It might work. Yeah. It's just my thoughts
- 55:00on the matter. Yeah. I mean, yeah, we talk about
- 55:06all this shit and then now it's like we said,
- 55:09it's just going to be, it's just going to end
- 55:11up being wrong. It's just gonna hurt whatever
- 55:14happens. It's just gonna make me sad in a few
- 55:17years Well, unless obviously we're just well
- 55:20guys just like shouting at the clouds on the
- 55:23internet like of course we're gonna be wrong
- 55:25No, I'm at the Titans Well, I Hope they're not
- 55:32wrong. That's the thing. Well, yeah, I hope where
- 55:35I hope ultimately we're wrong I would love nothing
- 55:38more to be wrong. Yes. I'm usually very pessimistic
- 55:44but You might as well be wrong they will be they
- 55:47will make the wrong decision I was gonna say
- 55:49I feel like my I Have a lot of bad takes, but
- 55:52I feel like my Titan suck takes are pretty Usually
- 55:56end up being pretty accurate Yes, yes, absolutely
- 56:03I Don't know man, I'm just so I'm just so used
- 56:08to pain I Guess I know It's all I know. Yeah,
- 56:14it's... None of my teams are good. Preds suck
- 56:18right now. Titans are... That's it. Between Titans,
- 56:24Preds... I mean, the Reds are... It's been a
- 56:27real shaky decade for them. I mean, who else
- 56:32do I got? The Vols are... I mean, they're good
- 56:34now, but historically not. At least we have the
- 56:39Trash Pandas. That's true. That's all I got.
- 56:42Oh, I got too. No pressure, Sean, but you got
- 56:47to keep this dynasty rolling. Well, y 'all saw
- 56:51at least one of your teams win a championship.
- 56:54That's probably the only one I'll see before
- 56:56they put me in the dirt. So I owe you a nice
- 57:00firm handshake. That's a really sad thought that
- 57:05I hadn't thought of yet. At least you won it.
- 57:10Yeah, and honestly if I'd have thought about
- 57:13it, I would have celebrated more. I would have
- 57:16celebrated a lot harder. It's the only championship
- 57:18I'll ever see. And that's our second one. We've
- 57:23done this twice now. I'll never see two ships.
- 57:30Like any of my teams combined. So yeah, I'm good.
- 57:34I've seen the trash pandas for a dynasty. I'm
- 57:40sad. Thanks. Thanks, guys. All right. I mean,
- 57:50anything else in NFL we should touch on? I don't
- 57:57have anything else. I mean, those are pretty
- 57:59much the big signings, I think. Oh, no. I'm sure
- 58:04there's something we're forgetting, but those
- 58:05are the ones I can remember off the top of my
- 58:08head. Yeah. How much time we have left? We got
- 58:15enough. We got enough. I'm trying to bring up
- 58:19the college basketball March Madness Championship
- 58:23odds. I want to see what your picks could be.
- 58:29Will, I know you haven't looked at this probably
- 58:31at all. Nope. Yep. Guessed it. That wasn't even
- 58:35me being rude. That was just me knowing you.
- 58:40I also lost my money in the in my sports book,
- 58:43so I've been taking a break. Yeah, so Duke is
- 58:49the favorite to win the whole thing. It was 320.
- 58:55Is that a good bet? Or is that a safe bet? They
- 59:00are probably the difference to know I there's
- 59:02a difference. I get what you're saying. I think
- 59:04they are the. I'm gonna say my sport. I guess
- 59:07on paper, the most well -rounded team, they have
- 59:11not played a soul. The ACC is so bad this year.
- 59:17I mean, I'm trying to think, they're non -con.
- 59:20They lost to Kansas and Kentucky, who at the
- 59:23time it was like, okay, those are really good
- 59:24losses. Kansas and Kentucky both have fallen
- 59:28off the very mid. They lost to Clemson a couple
- 59:33weeks ago. So it's like pretty much any team
- 59:35with a number beside them. Duke has lost to so
- 59:39it's like yes, I have Probably the best all -around
- 59:42team. They have the number one overall draft
- 59:44pick next year. I just I Don't like they haven't
- 59:49played anyone like they'll breeze through probably
- 59:51into the elite eight But once you get there,
- 59:54I don't once it gets nut -cutting time I don't
- 59:57know if they yeah if they really got it. They
- 1:00:00haven't been in close games So is is Duke gonna
- 1:00:03play one of these? Is Duke probably gonna play
- 1:00:06one of these play -in teams first round? I mean,
- 1:00:09they'll be a once I don't know if they'll be
- 1:00:10the one overall, but they'll probably the two
- 1:00:13like they will be a one seed So they have they'll
- 1:00:15play a chicken They'll play a couple of chicken
- 1:00:17shit teams in the second or first and second
- 1:00:18round and then sweet 16 Maybe someone with the
- 1:00:22spine, but that's from lead a non That's when
- 1:00:25it's like you got to be battle tested and they're
- 1:00:28they're not do you have the tournament winner
- 1:00:31odds up? No, I get him real quick. Can you pull
- 1:00:36that up real quick? Cuz I want to I want to run
- 1:00:38through these real quick and just see if there's
- 1:00:41a team you like to go to the elite eight because
- 1:00:46Where do you have that? I just have final four
- 1:00:49Team futures are you on DraftKings? Oh, I was
- 1:00:52just on the oh, I thought you meant there is
- 1:00:54a thing for teams like to make it There there
- 1:00:58was last year. I don't think it's up yet. Yeah,
- 1:01:01I was just I just see champ They'll probably
- 1:01:03have to wait for the yeah, just go to the championship
- 1:01:05odds and just look at that. Yeah Yeah, okay Because
- 1:01:10famously last year I bet NC State to go to the
- 1:01:13elite eight Plus 1600 no big deal Not a big deal
- 1:01:19But I am I am once again on the hunt for a dog
- 1:01:26the elite eight So I want to see if there's and
- 1:01:30I'm gonna do my own research as well But I want
- 1:01:33to see if there's a team that sticks out to you.
- 1:01:35Are we just talking? For like a long shot or
- 1:01:39yeah, like like okay, like an NC State type of
- 1:01:42like let's make the elite eight Like a like obviously
- 1:01:45they're they're gonna be a long shot to win the
- 1:01:47whole thing But they're gonna be you know plus
- 1:01:52thousand to fifteen hundred. Okay so For a team
- 1:01:57like it like it if you want to an NC State kind
- 1:02:00of team, which yeah I don't even know if this
- 1:02:03team would actually make the tournament, but
- 1:02:04if there was gonna be a team like that Like they
- 1:02:10were like first four out before they went on
- 1:02:13their magic run and won the conference Yeah,
- 1:02:15so if there is a team like that, which I think
- 1:02:18they might be playing now It's probably like
- 1:02:22a it's Rutgers They suck. They are like 15 and
- 1:02:2717, something like that. They're not very good.
- 1:02:32They do have two of the best. They have probably
- 1:02:36the best guard duo in the country, at least on
- 1:02:38paper. They just haven't really put it all together.
- 1:02:41But if they can get hot, I can see them going
- 1:02:46on. Because they have the talent, at least with
- 1:02:49Big Tim basketball man. I mean, yeah, but I just
- 1:02:52don't they're not again. I think they're playing
- 1:02:54right now and So they if they lose they probably
- 1:02:57won't even make the tournament So this could
- 1:02:59really look bad actually get in front of that.
- 1:03:01But if you're looking for an NC State tight team
- 1:03:04Yeah, I think it would be the only one that could
- 1:03:07really Compare to that at least as of now is
- 1:03:10record Okay, cuz obviously next week They're
- 1:03:15down by 11 at the half to USC, so they're. All
- 1:03:19right, cool. Well. But OK, let's go back. Yeah,
- 1:03:25like like I said, next week is selection Sunday.
- 1:03:29We will have. We will have to have some type
- 1:03:32of like future pick for next year. Well, I've
- 1:03:37got. Final four, Elite 8, Sweet 16, whatever
- 1:03:40boys come in hot with your picks next week. Am
- 1:03:46I crazy? I'm looking at the board. Oh, here they
- 1:03:50are. Yeah, okay. I missed them. Houston to win
- 1:03:55the whole thing plus 750. I feel like I fall
- 1:03:58in love with Houston every year because they
- 1:04:01play amazing defense and have like in a fit.
- 1:04:04They don't score a lot of points, but they're
- 1:04:05an efficient offense. They always get Final Four
- 1:04:10or Elite Eight. They get in the mix. They can
- 1:04:13just never bring it home. They got to at some
- 1:04:16point and I think plus 750, I think that's pretty,
- 1:04:21that's pretty solid. Um, cause like the teams
- 1:04:24after them, Alabama plus 1100, I don't really
- 1:04:28believe in them. Tennessee 1600. No. Well, you're
- 1:04:31not one of those Tennessee fans that just sprinkles,
- 1:04:34you know, Tennessee to win the whole thing because
- 1:04:39you're a Tennessee fan. No, I mean, If I think
- 1:04:42they had, like last year, I thought they had
- 1:04:44a legitimate chance, especially with Dalton Kinnett.
- 1:04:45That was best seen Rick Barnes has had. Possibly
- 1:04:49ever. Well, with Tennessee, at least. This year's
- 1:04:54towning, there's nothing. If they, I mean, if
- 1:04:57they can get hot with Lanier, can just be a walking
- 1:04:59bucket like we thought he would be, and he has
- 1:05:02shown at times. You never know, but it's just
- 1:05:06not enough there all around to win the whole
- 1:05:07thing. They can make a run, sweet 16 to lead
- 1:05:09eight, but that means they're not. And also the
- 1:05:12guy you're going to name your firstborn son after.
- 1:05:15Oh, yes. Jemiah Mayshack. When my son asked me
- 1:05:21one day, Pop Pop, why am I named Jemiah Mayshack?
- 1:05:23He calls you Pop Pop as your child. Yes. Not
- 1:05:28your grandfather. But why is my name Jemiah Mayshack?
- 1:05:34It was early March. I do think we need to Consider
- 1:05:42Alabama No, I mean so they're they're a very
- 1:05:48good team. I'm not saying they're ass or anything.
- 1:05:50I just don't see it I I mean, dude, they kind
- 1:05:54of spank Auburn Okay, but winning by like a decent
- 1:06:03mount but and they were in control for most of
- 1:06:04that game, but that's the thing It's like they
- 1:06:06kind of let lead they beat over twice No, once
- 1:06:10they got beat by like 12 the first time they
- 1:06:12played him. I thought they beat him twice but
- 1:06:15um, I just don't when it and saw it in the tennessee
- 1:06:20game and Also in the auburn game because they
- 1:06:22were up big and they just let it slip. I was
- 1:06:24a big up enough It like in crunch time. They
- 1:06:29fuck up a lot and it's like NATO it's good coach
- 1:06:34very good coach sometimes when it's like push
- 1:06:36comes to shove he I want to say folds, but You
- 1:06:40have a couple moments where like, what are you
- 1:06:42doing? Why did you call that timeout before the
- 1:06:44five second violation against Tennessee? Like
- 1:06:47what, sometimes he has moments where like, what
- 1:06:50are you doing, man? So I just don't, I don't
- 1:06:53see Alabama. Florida I can see going on a run.
- 1:06:56They got really good offense, really good interior
- 1:06:58size. They've been, I mean, SEC is wild this
- 1:07:04year. So they've been kind of upset a couple
- 1:07:08of times, but. I think, I think Houston is probably
- 1:07:13the best value play. Something about this Maryland
- 1:07:17team too, man. I don't watch them a lot, but
- 1:07:20I feel like whenever I do, they're just playing
- 1:07:23great basketball. And where are they? Plus, I
- 1:07:28just had 4 ,500. Maybe worth a sprinkle. Yeah.
- 1:07:35I feel like - That'd probably be my long shot
- 1:07:37pick would be one. You know, when I was growing
- 1:07:40up, the SEC was terrible at basketball. Like
- 1:07:46Alabama, Auburn, they were dog shit. They were
- 1:07:50only good at football. They were a football school.
- 1:07:55It was Kentucky forever, Tennessee every now
- 1:07:58and then, Florida every now and then. And now
- 1:08:02it's everyone. pretty wild, but I also feel like
- 1:08:07the SEC could be like one of those conferences
- 1:08:10that doesn't win a game in like the first round
- 1:08:13or whatever. Like, you know what I mean? I mean,
- 1:08:15that won't happen because there's, but I get
- 1:08:18what you're saying. Yeah, that's not going to
- 1:08:20happen, but it's going to be like the SEC went
- 1:08:23one in six, like in the first round. I've been
- 1:08:28thinking about that a lot too, because it was
- 1:08:30kind of like the same thing with football. Everyone
- 1:08:32was jerking off the SEC. and didn't do anything.
- 1:08:38So I think I could definitely see that happening.
- 1:08:42I think that first week of March Madness might
- 1:08:46be betting the dogs on the SEC. There is just
- 1:08:50I would I would too. I've said I saw this on
- 1:08:54Twitter last year and I'm thinking about doing
- 1:08:56again. If you blindly put $100 on every underdog
- 1:08:59money line, you would last year, you would have
- 1:09:02been up like 450 bucks. Wow, so something about
- 1:09:09So if you would have bet 100 every single underdog
- 1:09:14money line in every single game you were up $450
- 1:09:18All right, all right, all right something Something
- 1:09:24um, yeah speaking of just like these dogs whoever
- 1:09:29high point place One take the over because their
- 1:09:32offense is electric yeah yeah sprinkle them put
- 1:09:36a half unit on their money line because this
- 1:09:38team is they have one of the like I know they're
- 1:09:40playing that chicken shit conference but their
- 1:09:42offense is electric man and they got something
- 1:09:45they came back from like yeah I can't remember
- 1:09:48if it's a championship game or another game in
- 1:09:50the tournament they kept I think they came down
- 1:09:52from like 20 to beat whoever yeah so it's like
- 1:09:54I watched that game actually um I was at the
- 1:09:57bar on Sunday before so yeah they are like uh
- 1:10:00yeah high point was in their conference championship
- 1:10:03and just kind of ran away with it i was like
- 1:10:07yo what the who the fuck is this like who are
- 1:10:11these guys they're a lot of fun to watch so i'm
- 1:10:15a lead eight i mean that's a team if they if
- 1:10:19they get hot man you never know i think i might
- 1:10:23when odds come out i might if i can i might sprinkle
- 1:10:26sweet 16 if that's an option yeah but if not
- 1:10:29i might That being the plus like 20 in their
- 1:10:32first game But now I that's a team that I've
- 1:10:36kind of had my eye on for a while, but they're
- 1:10:39They can I mean they and fine But yeah, they're
- 1:10:46really good so We'll look out for a high point
- 1:10:49and not a lot of people are talking about them,
- 1:10:51too It's like last year you had teams like Grand
- 1:10:53Canyon and like some smaller schools who were
- 1:10:55getting like but oh like the sexy like every
- 1:10:58annals like picking up set is like, I'm picking
- 1:11:00like you had like the same like Rolodex of like
- 1:11:03three teams. And I think all those teams got
- 1:11:05bounced first or second round. So and nobody's
- 1:11:08really talking about high point, at least not
- 1:11:10like the major and only like sickos are. So I
- 1:11:14think I think they can fuck around do something.
- 1:11:19Yeah. Okay. Okay. Well, tune in next week for
- 1:11:24our after selection Sunday. Luckily this I think
- 1:11:28our episode comes out the day that March Madness
