They Around the NFL podcast

0:04

has.

0:04

On leimaged

0:06

faith in Russell Wilson's come

0:09

back from.

0:10

The Chris Wesley podcast studio.

0:11

It's around the NFL.

0:13

Dan Hands is here, Greg Rosenthal,

0:15

Mark Sessler, Colleen Wolf Wednesday,

0:18

and I just have to say

0:20

it, like right off the bat, I

0:28

must, we must declare

0:31

vengeance upon

0:34

the NFL establishment if they dare

0:37

to do that again. Where we finish a show

0:39

taping and then major news breaks.

0:41

I feel like we have been mark

0:44

very open with the

0:47

football agna zen there about

0:53

drop this stuff when we're in our taping window or before,

0:56

but do not drop it immediately after. And then

0:58

we're just all annoyed texting each other

1:00

minutes after we leave the studio. So Russell Wilson

1:03

no longer connected to the Denver

1:05

Broncos who eat unprecedented

1:08

dead cap money. And we could

1:10

talk about it now, but I just want to say vengeance

1:13

declared.

1:13

If it happens again. I couldn't agree more.

1:15

I would imagine Greg agrees, we've

1:18

been crystal clear about our boundaries and

1:20

they were broken on that day I had I

1:23

was I had just reached a

1:25

Mexican restaurant for my

1:28

post show meal and

1:30

had just sat down and made my order, and then it's

1:32

like we're talking about do we want to

1:35

get together and do an emergency and bose topper,

1:37

which is like I would get why we would do that, We've done

1:39

it in the past, but it's like how disruptive,

1:41

how disorienting. It's really the

1:44

fault of pole order.

1:45

For Mark, I didn't know you

1:47

eat I do.

1:48

I ordered a like a vegetarian,

1:51

even this brina with chips and SALTSA. Then

1:53

it's likely you.

1:54

Got caught in a lie there and now you're making up a food.

1:56

No, no, no, it's not not. But like I almost had.

1:58

I had considered to tell it the the server,

2:00

like I might have to put the kibush on this.

2:03

The one time you're going to enjoy food,

2:06

it gets blown up in your face.

2:07

It seems of fate.

2:08

Well, Russ has never forgiven me

2:11

for predicting in his

2:13

downfall. Roughly halfway

2:15

through the twenty twenty one season

2:18

in Seattle, Mistakenly's

2:21

Limited saying I would take mac

2:24

Jones long term over him right Church

2:26

wrong pew there with that take like almost

2:29

a little.

2:29

Too specific, yeah, otherwise dead.

2:31

On that, And there's a little bit of a

2:33

Nick Fole's Super Bowl similarities there that

2:36

you kind of hammered it but then added

2:38

a little extra Yeah, and a cost you that

2:40

could cost you.

2:41

Mark that her sandwiches and Sean Payton.

2:43

You know, we've we've called out his

2:46

his manipulation of the media on this

2:48

show over the years. How often he's

2:50

very critical of the media when

2:53

he is the one giving all the sources.

2:55

So I think he waited for a show to end.

2:57

He's like, Eric's not going to get upstairs throughout

2:59

twenty minutes. The guys are gonna they'll be

3:01

in their cars. Mark, we'll hit the Mexican restaurant

3:03

around this time.

3:06

Let's drop it, Colleen, Yes, eighty

3:08

five million, let's just talk about this now.

3:10

Okay, eighty five million hit dead money

3:13

over the next two seasons for the Broncos

3:16

because of the release. So in a lot

3:18

of ways, Connie, it's almost like a

3:20

five year mistake, I feel like for the Broncos

3:22

because unless they something magical

3:24

happens with at the quarterback position

3:27

or the roster, you know, all

3:29

of a sudden turns into a juggernaut and they

3:31

have massive dress.

3:32

Even then, it's almost did

3:34

you just eat.

3:36

The poop this year, absorb as much as that as

3:38

possible, kind of tank and then

3:40

try to start fresh and too, it's kind of around a two

3:42

year plan from here.

3:43

Well, this may go down

3:46

is one of the worst trades we've ever seen.

3:48

It's I mean, but

3:50

Deshaun Watson like, I don't know that one's

3:52

pretty bad too.

3:53

They kind of sure, but well you said one one of its

3:56

five the trophy stand or the metal

3:58

stand, and you could debate the order

4:00

herschel Walker this

4:03

trade, uh huh. And the

4:06

Shawn's there. We're gonna talk about Jamal Adams

4:08

a little bit later, yep, but go ahead.

4:10

No, this is the two year anniversary

4:13

just passed of when this happened. And you think

4:15

about all of the quarterbacks that

4:17

Denver has tried to bring in, none

4:19

of them worked. And then they give away

4:22

so much two first round picks,

4:24

two second round picks, a fifth, a bunch

4:26

of players too, I mean, and then what

4:28

did they get in return? Russell Wilson

4:30

and then the fourth rounder that became

4:33

defensive end Uzuari Azurique

4:36

is that how you say his name? Who's

4:38

suspended right now for violating the gambling

4:40

policy. So he's not even available,

4:43

and the fact that the Denver Broncos

4:46

paid Russell Wilson before

4:48

they even had to do so, they went ahead

4:50

and gave him that extension with all

4:53

of the guarantees, doubling down

4:55

on Russell Wilson, just for it

4:57

to blow up in such a spectacular way

4:59

in their I just can't believe that this

5:01

is the way that the story ended.

5:03

Do you know when that extension starts?

5:05

Not even yet this year? Yeah, oh

5:08

my god.

5:10

It is wild.

5:11

And there's a thought there's some revisionist

5:14

history. It's like, well, but he wanted the contract

5:16

and that was part of the reason. And I don't believe

5:18

it. Because the trade happened in

5:20

March. There's an ownership change happening.

5:23

It was new owner Syndrome. The new owners

5:25

showed up who actually had nothing

5:27

to do with the Russell Wilson trade, and one of the first things

5:29

they did to just be like, hey, we're Walmart,

5:32

we got lots of money, we're classy, We're gonna give

5:34

him our star player what

5:37

he wants. So I don't even buy that you needed

5:39

to give him that money. And yeah,

5:41

it would have been worth it for the Seahawks just for that

5:43

moment where Drew Locke like sent the

5:45

hearts to Gino or whatever that was on the sideline,

5:47

because don't forget Drew Locke was in this trade for Seattle.

5:50

Not only did they get rid of Russ, they got their starting

5:52

tackle, Charles Cross, they got a defensive

5:54

Rookie of the Year candidate Devin Witherspoon. They got

5:56

Boye Mafe who's a nice edge, a

5:58

couple other young play players that are playing for

6:01

them, And in that moment.

6:02

I would spin positive and one in

6:04

one way at fall Well

6:06

because it's the kind of reminded me. And this is a

6:08

bit of a an odd parallel, but

6:11

like when George Bush like

6:13

decided we're going to go into Iraq and like it

6:15

became a cluster, right w

6:18

W Yeah, the younger of the two, and like.

6:21

Where are you going with this?

6:22

Well no, just because it was very clear to like

6:24

most thinking people that we

6:26

were creating an unnecessary problem.

6:29

And it was like, at some point you can spin out of

6:31

this and just look at I'm the president.

6:33

I made a mistake on some level. Let's just get

6:35

out of here and move forwards a country. And instead

6:37

it was like I'm going to get in further and further and further.

6:40

Oh see, I thought you were going down the road

6:42

of putting up the mission accomplished

6:44

side.

6:45

Of that battleshit.

6:45

That was the That was sort of the Nathaniel Hackett's

6:48

press conference, right us.

6:50

Will Walmart came in big box.

6:52

Very corporation can make a huge mistake

6:55

and just eat the money and move on. And the

6:57

big banks they can get bailed out and they

7:00

just move forward. It's not the same

7:02

with an NFL team and the way the salary cap is

7:04

structured.

7:05

So that's why this is so devis.

7:07

I have a buddy in the town I live, and that's a

7:09

massive Broncos fan named his son Denver

7:11

drives around a aren't golf cart.

7:13

I mean, we're talking big time. And

7:16

he told me that he.

7:17

Maybe he doesn't have a Ford Bronco like that feels

7:19

like a.

7:19

Missed opportunity, missed opportunity. He

7:22

he, he said he had to go on a bender after

7:25

the announcement because.

7:26

Oh no, miss announcement.

7:28

Yes, because he do, because

7:30

he knows this team

7:32

that he loves is

7:34

going to have to pay for this for years to come.

7:36

It's like a it's a tough one.

7:38

It's check on your friend. Should we check on?

7:40

I saw him yesterday he said he was okay.

7:42

Now the way you know, it just goes orange. Let's

7:44

ride hold.

7:45

On, let me just finish one thing. I actually think

7:47

that what I do like about this very quickly

7:49

is that Denver, it is not sticking

7:52

around for more Russell Wilson, it's

7:54

gonna hurt this year. I kind of like your idea

7:56

of just doing it all this year.

7:57

If you could can't all right, well, as much

7:59

as possible, you've got spread it over two or three

8:01

years.

8:02

So I'm with you.

8:03

Don't do you don't need to do a post June first cut.

8:05

Take as much as you can this year. They'll be more

8:07

but much less less polks here.

8:09

Mark, I want you to finish your point, but can you take more

8:11

pain this year as opposed to the next

8:14

year. I'm saying, what if it's split

8:16

fifty to fifty? It is what it is, but just

8:18

absorb it all. It's another year in the middle

8:20

of Patrick Mahomes's prime.

8:21

Go ahead, and.

8:22

Yeah, I would just say that, like, I know, that's

8:24

huge arrow down on Russell Wilson where he is right

8:26

now, and it's like it's kind of incomprehensible

8:28

that the Steelers of someone else are going to sign up

8:30

for this journey. But Russell Wilson historically

8:33

has been one of the better quarterbacks we've ever

8:35

covered on this show and won a Super Bowl. Sean Payton,

8:37

whether you like him or not or how he deals with the media,

8:39

is a winning coach with a track record in a Super

8:42

Bowl win. George Peyton is

8:45

the guy still hanging around inside this organization

8:48

who conceived of this trade. Largely

8:50

did he? Well, yeah, largely because

8:53

it was before they, I mean then they then he

8:55

went and thought of all the candidates I could hire

8:57

as head coach, Nathaniel Hackett sticks

8:59

out and it's like gms

9:01

don't survive this type of apocalypse,

9:04

and he's still hanging around.

9:05

They don't keep their power. I don't think he has power there

9:07

anymore.

9:07

But he's there. Yeah, Yeah, you're

9:10

the one guy that stands out here.

9:11

I forgot that before the trade was

9:13

made.

9:14

When Russell Wilson was still in Seattle,

9:16

it was like people were talking about him as a Hall

9:18

of Fame quarterback.

9:19

He had won super Bowls. He they

9:21

went greg a perennial contender.

9:23

Exactly.

9:23

You were first on the scene, Greg not.

9:26

First, And I think, well that I think he

9:28

has a chance to make the Hall of Fame. People are a little too

9:31

dismissive of what he accomplished

9:33

that like what he is now doesn't discount

9:35

what he accomplished his first eight or nine years.

9:37

But that's a separate point.

9:38

Yeah, Like I mean, I.

9:40

Like there's I saw this tweet

9:43

out there saying, like, of these four who would make the Hall

9:45

of Fame, who would you put in if you could only choose one? Russell

9:47

Wilson, Phil Rivers, Eli

9:49

and Matt Ryan. Who are all going to be interesting cases?

9:54

And that's not an.

9:55

Interesting case, right Giants

9:58

all time passing leader with two Super Bowl wins over

10:00

Bell, checking Brady, including beating the other team.

10:02

Everyone looks at it. Everyone looks at the differently.

10:05

I look at the regular season, says like, how many

10:07

times were you a top five quarterback?

10:08

How many times you were you?

10:09

That's good too, top ten quarterback Eli Manning.

10:12

We don't need to get into him, but he probably had one season

10:14

where maybe he could be a top five, maybe

10:16

two or three seasons where he'd be top ten. Russell

10:18

Wilson was a top five to ten quarterback

10:21

for seven or eight straight years, which to me, with the Super

10:23

Bowl title, he might actually have the best case

10:26

of all those. I'd probably go, but I

10:28

would put Phil Rivers first on that and Russ would

10:30

probably be second.

10:31

Yeah, he was.

10:31

Also And I'm looking at it right up right now where

10:34

the second season said two disastrous

10:36

seasons in Denver. The first season was a true disaster

10:38

with Hackett. Last year was a middling

10:41

season, wrong side of the Dalton scale, but not

10:43

the worst quarterback in the league.

10:44

And they at that point with.

10:46

Peyton now fully not Patton Peyton,

10:49

although he has pronounced Peyton.

10:50

That's the other reason we gave him a new name, is

10:53

Kevin.

10:54

Kevin Sutherland was so I believe

10:57

it was close to that. Eric, not early did you remember

10:59

or Donald.

11:00

To see that for this exact

11:02

reason, we don't need to lose

11:04

momentum in a show because it's

11:06

the patent Peyton Peyton thing.

11:08

Yep, yep, it gets me every time Kevin's

11:10

disaster.

11:11

Let's go with Kevin Sutherland, and I'm sure the listeners

11:13

will correct me. So Kevin Saunders,

11:16

guys, Kevin

11:18

Saunders is still there, and you know whatever,

11:20

And the latest News. By the

11:22

way, the update to this schefter

11:25

reported the Broncos have granted Russell

11:27

Wilson permission to speak with other

11:29

teams, so he doesn't have to wait until,

11:31

you.

11:31

Know, the beginning of the new league year. He

11:33

can do it right now.

11:34

So thirty five year old quarterback coming

11:37

off a high profile failure, I

11:40

think he should have some

11:43

market, but not a big one.

11:45

He's a tricky case as a starter.

11:47

I put him number eighty something on

11:49

the top one oh one. That was I

11:52

was debating whether like him or Tannehill,

11:55

for instance, and I had to take into

11:57

account the Russell Wilson

11:59

of it all, Like who do I see

12:01

as just being like an easy backup?

12:03

Because at this point I think he's a backup And

12:06

to me, Tannehill just make they're both thirty six.

12:08

It's similar, Like to me, he just makes

12:11

more sense of just like a guy you insert there with

12:13

like a one bee with a.

12:14

Rookie quarter totally agree with you.

12:16

I wouldn't even it seems a little. It seems a

12:18

little like a lot like he might expect more.

12:20

I find he wants to win two more Super Bowls. That's

12:23

what he said, So maybe as a backup.

12:25

But he I feel like a straight backup.

12:27

I put him more in that category, just above

12:29

where it's like the Minshew

12:32

Baker. Sure, those types where

12:34

he can be a starter in the right situation,

12:36

but signed somewhere as a backup. That's

12:38

not crazy either, Like he's not an entrenched backup.

12:40

He's not like Sam Darnold, for instance. At this stage.

12:43

I think he's one step above that. But considering

12:45

where he was a couple of years ago, it's pretty crazy.

12:48

And the Broncos obviously didn't see

12:50

it coming.

12:51

They can still win, though. Look, the Bucks

12:54

just maybe what I

12:57

don't think the goal here. I think they can

12:59

have a winning record, win the division. I

13:01

mean because they're with the Chiefs and because of the roster right

13:03

now, it's very unlikely. But the

13:06

Bucks just ate a very similar dead

13:09

cap hit for Tom Brady and

13:12

made the divisional round the breeze

13:14

contract.

13:15

The first year he was gone. They were eating that. It didn't

13:17

go well.

13:17

They're in the I

13:20

agree like that. That compounds

13:22

the problem here, Like you can't they

13:24

have one hand tied behind their back for two years,

13:26

especially in arguably the toughest

13:28

division. Uh, it's it's bad.

13:31

It was a big swing. You want your team, you

13:33

want your favorite team to take big swings.

13:36

But sometimes you.

13:37

Know, one little quick thought that came to mind is like doesn't

13:39

work. We never learned from this stuff. And like

13:42

people were hyping up the Russell Wilson

13:44

thing. It's like, right now we're talking about like

13:46

the best quarterback that will be available as a

13:49

late thirties veteran with

13:51

an achilles tear and he's about

13:53

to sign for major money somewhere. It's like two years

13:55

from now, we might be saying forgetting how that will

13:57

be lauded.

13:58

Mmmmmmm.

14:00

Way to really put it in there, you go kind

14:02

of put a like an exclament, You put a slammer

14:04

that suggests you don't like my point.

14:06

When I love these comments coming together

14:09

and shows it's like iways feel like Kirk Cousins, you got

14:11

to go get me? Is the first chip to fall? It's like fall

14:14

where and let's see how that lands.

14:16

Great way to punctuate the conversation.

14:19

I'm happy to help.

14:19

And what it did was it like took

14:21

this topic we're talking about now

14:24

and it gave it broader context.

14:26

Yes, I will, I will suggest uh.

14:28

This morning when I and I appreciate

14:30

me. You do this correct. You open up our

14:33

our chat client and Greg will

14:35

give an initial lineup of no, like,

14:38

Dan, I think you were trying to read this insanely long

14:40

book Infinite Jest and like like by David

14:42

Foster Walls that has a note in a

14:44

rota section at the end. It's like one hundred

14:46

and sixty pages long. Like, that's what this news

14:49

lineup looked like. And Weird threw one item.

14:51

Sessler and I immediately when we saw each other, we

14:53

were like, how about the news?

14:54

A lot of news?

14:54

You know what the the rest thing is? After

14:57

that, it's like a bunch of tags and some quick

15:00

I.

15:00

Don't like you guys just share a lot of anxiety.

15:03

Anxiety twins, everybody

15:05

relacs.

15:05

We're going to get through the news. Everything is gonna be fine.

15:08

Coming up a little later, and this is going to set everyone

15:10

of these a

15:12

truth serum will be administered

15:15

to key NFL figures that

15:17

allows them to speak their mind in a really

15:20

sincere way, in a way that you want to hear from

15:23

athletes and people connected to the

15:25

sports. So that's coming up first. Yeah, let's get through the

15:27

rest of this news before two

15:29

of the people in the studio have a panic attack.

15:32

No, I don't believe it's sad.

15:34

Fog likes talking about we're related,

15:36

thing like

15:39

like.

15:43

Wow.

15:43

There's a video from Brent Soboleski

15:46

on Twitter of Texas Tech Safety

15:48

Tyler Owens, who said,

15:50

if you could hear that he does not believe

15:53

planets planets actually exist.

15:55

I don't believe in space. I don't

15:57

think there's other planets and stuff like that.

16:01

I have an idea to weed out

16:03

certain prospects a

16:05

test, a cognitive

16:07

test, if you will, Oh that,

16:11

make sure that that element

16:13

is in my locker room.

16:14

How about that?

16:16

What do you think about the idea of a test?

16:20

I feel like that would go over well with the public.

16:23

Not in his defense, because I don't agree

16:25

with what he's saying, but he seems to be coming

16:27

from the world of like if everything's

16:29

sort of just a sim that the concept

16:32

of other universes and planets and UFOs

16:34

and everything else is just sort of a simulation that.

16:36

But he's not talking about even UFOs.

16:38

Well, no, but planets that you'd

16:40

be looking up at, essentially like something that just

16:43

exists in our imagination.

16:44

He's basically I listened to more of this

16:46

guy I was in. He went in,

16:48

he admitted he was in a YouTube

16:51

you know, rabbit hole and essentially says,

16:53

where's the proof? You know, I do my own

16:55

He was essentially giving the I do my own research. I

16:57

haven't seen the proof of the other planets.

16:59

No mood believe it.

17:01

I want to a lot of people would go down that road

17:03

as a starting point.

17:04

I don't need to listen there.

17:06

What I do need to listen to is his agent

17:08

talking to him after the combines.

17:10

Well, you fool.

17:12

I think that would be too harsh to eliminate people

17:16

with these beliefs because it's not hurting anyone

17:18

else. And uh, the NFL is often

17:20

two lacks in other areas of

17:22

of some behaviors and the way this seems harmless,

17:24

Like.

17:25

Gino Smith noted, cognitive test, Gino

17:27

Smith noted flat.

17:28

Back at it back in the day, a flat earther. I like

17:30

to think that that that he's

17:32

miso. You'd like to think it, but we don't know.

17:35

He had a real nice broad jump at the combine,

17:38

So maybe look past the planet

17:40

stuff space where

17:42

we are in this case.

17:44

As if I were a roster builder,

17:46

I would have to take out the red marker.

17:49

There a lot of red flag.

17:50

That's fair.

17:51

That's your team, that's fair.

17:52

Yeah, congrats are you welcoming

17:54

him in? Maybe I could educate

17:57

him, I could save him.

17:58

I'd also say, is deliver He was, you know, not

18:01

tongue intrigued, but he was. He was playful

18:03

about it, and like, doesn't think that everyone agrees

18:05

with me. He's not trying to pound the table saying everyone must

18:07

agree that there are no planets.

18:08

Hey, everyone can have their own opinion as long as it's

18:10

not hurting anyone else.

18:11

So it's fine in my.

18:13

Book, right, but not when there are facts

18:15

involved.

18:16

Sure, there should be limits, not overwhelming

18:18

evidence.

18:19

You have to be wrong. You could be wrong

18:21

about things. That's fine, all right.

18:22

The franchise tag deadline

18:25

is coming gone, so and tomorrow is

18:27

going to be good because we're going

18:29

to after all

18:31

the tags and all the cuts, we're

18:33

going to take another look at Greg's free agency

18:35

one on one and by the way, the free agency.

18:37

Three what do we say fourteen?

18:40

Was it three?

18:40

Three twenty one?

18:41

Maybe it was two thirteen.

18:42

I mean, you can't even remember.

18:44

If we're still working on that, So how do you

18:46

know it could have evolved since then changed that and we're

18:48

continuing to that will be landing.

18:51

When did we decide on Tuesday

18:53

night?

18:54

I think around that time.

18:55

Yeah, but you know that seems appropriate to the

18:57

time.

18:58

So anyway, Greg, we're gonna visit

19:01

his list with a very

19:03

special guest, Demina Kimes tomorrow talking

19:06

over now what is the list?

19:08

Like?

19:08

Well, guy, because we the legal tampering

19:11

period is set to begin on Monday.

19:13

So here are the players that got tagged, and

19:15

a lot of these are we knew what was

19:18

coming and now it's official. Josh Allen

19:20

by the Jaguars, They're a great pass rusher. Brian

19:22

Burns by the Panthers, they're great. They're gonna never

19:24

gonna let him go. Never, They're never gonna let

19:27

him go.

19:27

Can't.

19:27

It's gonna be stuck there forever.

19:29

Lagarius Snead now officially tagged, and he's

19:31

been getting permission to seek a trade. So

19:33

we'll see if Sneed's on the move next

19:35

week. Justin Mattabuque of

19:38

the ravens Antoine Winfield

19:40

of the Bucks, so Baker officially headed toward

19:42

free agency. If they don't get

19:44

a deal done, be the Bears tag

19:46

Jaalen Johnson, the Colts tag

19:49

wide receiver Michael Pittman. So that's another

19:51

name out of the mix in terms of veteran

19:53

wideouts. The Patriots used that there's always

19:55

somebody I'm gonna use the transition

19:58

tag.

19:58

Look at me, there's really not always somebody like

20:01

the hipster option.

20:02

Yeah, five times you use the

20:04

franchise tag, I'll use the transition to

20:06

the league.

20:07

Just in awe of that process.

20:09

Kyle Duggar gets that. What

20:11

is the transition tag again? Greg Quick refresher.

20:14

It this year for

20:16

the Safeties will be thirteen point

20:18

something million and the franchise would have been seventeen.

20:20

And the difference in that money allows Kyle

20:23

dugger to shop his wars

20:25

around the league. And if you can get a contract,

20:28

it's an offer sheet in the time last

20:31

five days to match it. No, Lamar

20:34

got the non exclusive franchise tag, which

20:36

is what most of these players got. So in

20:39

theory, if you wanted to give up two first round

20:41

picks for any of these players, I believe

20:43

they all got the non exclusive.

20:44

Yeah, no one got the exclusive you.

20:45

Could and Lugarious Sneed is the

20:48

only one that's out there shopping. I think the rest you kind of

20:50

assume no one's even gonna think.

20:51

But with Dougger, he plays multiple

20:53

positions, and I felt like it was weird that they

20:55

gave him the transition

20:58

tag and obvious league gave

21:00

him the safety one. So it's just like the cheapest

21:03

option. We've seen that before everything.

21:04

Players sometimes will fight that

21:06

through the Union, like a lot of tight ends

21:09

in the past, I feel like not a lot, but it's happened.

21:11

I want to be labeled as a wide receiver based

21:13

on.

21:16

Parsons.

21:16

Just got called a defensive

21:19

end, I believe for his fifth year option, and I do think

21:22

he might file an appeal because it's

21:24

less money now.

21:25

The Dougg defensive end is less than

21:27

linebacker.

21:28

Right now, which is crazy

21:30

well because they need to make an edge one to

21:33

linebackers now include outside

21:35

linebacker be so.

21:36

Much better far into this.

21:39

Is it a substantial difference?

21:40

It must be if he's filing I

21:42

am just guessing that he may file one.

21:44

It's like three million, but.

21:45

A lot of teams will like sweeten the deal if you

21:47

do play multiple positions, and

21:49

like obviously Dugger lined up more

21:51

at safety than he did at corner.

21:53

But still yeah, he's he's a safety.

21:55

I mean you have to put him at some positions. Yeah,

21:57

that would be the position. You

21:59

do that when you think, hey, we're

22:02

we want to keep this guy. We think we're offering

22:04

him a good deal. He's not happy with

22:06

it. We have a

22:08

feeling maybe if you go out there, our deal

22:10

is actually still going to be the best one

22:12

out there, or that we would match it. There's

22:14

been reports that you know, he's in the thirteen fourteen

22:16

million dollars, but then you don't want to give him the franchise

22:18

tag because that's seventeen and that starts

22:21

the bidding at like a higher number than you want.

22:23

So that's an interesting one. The rest of the franchise

22:25

tags, though, were eminently predictable,

22:28

Like everyone locally nationally kind

22:31

of thought these were all the guys that were going to get

22:33

it, and they all got it, and it made

22:35

my list, you know, way less exciting.

22:38

Prominent players not tagged who remain on Greg's

22:40

list Dolphins defensive tackle Christian Wilkins,

22:43

Giants running back Saquon Barkley,

22:45

both set to hit the markets.

22:48

Wilkins was a surprise to me.

22:49

Was it okay? So too?

22:50

And like there's some whispers that Cleveland,

22:53

of all teams, would maybe pursue him.

22:55

They he's going to make He should

22:57

be thrilled, you know, because franchise tags, oh don't

23:00

help these players at all. He's going

23:02

to make way more guaranteed money

23:04

in the end. And I'm trying

23:07

to think where he is now on my top one one. He's got

23:09

to be like top three now after all.

23:10

These but the Dolphins are just bleeding defenders

23:13

at this point with Xavier Howard,

23:15

Jerome Baker, Emmanuel Agba, now

23:17

Christian Wilkins. Obviously there's still time

23:19

to sign him to a defensive coordinator,

23:21

although it's exactly unlikely, but all

23:24

of this puts so much pressure on to us

23:26

since they're clearing all of this cash to give him

23:28

the monster deal, and now, like,

23:31

I don't know how that defense is going to look next.

23:33

Right, They have Ramsey, they have Tyreek, they gave Chubb

23:35

a ton of men. They do have like a lot of big time. They

23:37

want to pay Jalen Philip, so they

23:39

had to make decisions, but they sneaky are

23:42

in among the worst situations with the

23:44

Kappa. He's twenty eight years old. Christian Wilkins a

23:46

good player number three on the

23:48

list now, so you should thank them.

23:49

All right, let's pause right here for a minute and

23:52

take a break and then get back to the news.

23:55

All right, we're back.

23:56

Prominent cuts three

23:59

from the Seattle Seahawks, and we'll start

24:01

with Jamal Adams, the safety who during

24:04

the pandemic, was traded from the Jets for two

24:06

first round picks and then given a massive deal

24:09

and one of the stranger career arcs or Adams.

24:14

He had nine and a half sacks in

24:16

his first season with Seattle from the safety

24:18

position, which was a record. I

24:20

kind of remember because he got hurt that year too. He's been

24:22

injured constantly ever since,

24:24

but I kind of feel like he had nine and a half almost

24:26

going into December and then didn't have any of the rest

24:28

of the season or something close to that, and then never

24:30

had another sack the rest of his time with Seattle,

24:32

which is absolutely bizarre, and

24:35

dealt with a lot of serious injuries and some dumb

24:38

off the field stuff and kind of a mess for Seattle.

24:40

So they were ready to move on.

24:41

Caandre Diggs also leaving

24:43

a team that's a quality defensive back that I'm sure

24:45

we'll have a nice market and as will

24:48

tight end Will Disley another salary cap

24:50

casualties. So the Seahawks, who obviously had a

24:52

lot of work to do here, say

24:54

goodbye.

24:55

To three veterans with Adams as the headliner.

24:57

I mean, this had a lot to do with It opens

24:59

up twenty new twenty eight million in cap space, and

25:01

Adams and Diggs were two of the three

25:04

most expensive safeties in the league. Adams was

25:06

failed experience of experiment. It was like a

25:08

our final piece of the puzzles, super super

25:11

Bowl type situation.

25:12

With Russell Wilson in his prime, but it just

25:14

never ever worked.

25:15

They like Julian Love at safety, and they're gonna have probably,

25:18

you know, with their new coach, that defense

25:20

could look very different and I kind of trust what they're

25:22

doing.

25:22

Yeah.

25:23

Devin Witherspoon, who they got in that

25:25

Russell Wilson trade, is a cornerback,

25:27

but he does a lot of the things that Jamal

25:30

Adams does, which play from the slot

25:32

and blitz from there, and it is better at it.

25:34

I mean, for a second, I was like, does Josh Jamal Adams

25:36

make the top one on one And I guess

25:38

no, of course not. A guy can't see still

25:41

in the league. Guy can't stay healthy and

25:43

can't cover. Really Kuandrey Diggs is

25:45

still like a nice, nice player

25:47

at Seahawks fans swear that he had a much better

25:50

season than his disastrous PFF

25:52

ranking would indicate. But he's a guy, you know, is

25:54

asked to kind of cover for a lot of his teammates.

25:57

I think he's in the league, Dan, because I think he'll

25:59

want to keep playing, and absolutely a team

26:02

is going to give him like a

26:04

incentive based two or three million dollar contracts

26:07

something like that.

26:07

But what a disaster for Adams

26:10

in Seattle. Thirty three games,

26:12

he missed out of a possible sixty seven

26:14

regular season games, and like the

26:16

fact that all of his sacks were in twenty

26:18

twenty. I mean, it's just like such an anomaly,

26:21

but just so such

26:23

bad luck on his part with the injuries

26:25

and for Seattle to make that move.

26:27

I'll always remember him at that Miami super

26:30

Bowl at our hotel, right

26:33

Dan, third pool

26:35

party parties lost three thirty

26:37

in the afternoon on like a Wednesday or whatever.

26:39

We were staying at this kind of living, very

26:42

Miami like hotel. It was like Jamal

26:44

Adams and like nineteen women and I felt

26:46

like we were kind of.

26:47

Separated, definitely stacked the deck.

26:49

He was in a good spot. Yeah,

26:51

no dudes allowed.

26:52

I think it had.

26:53

We were having to get invited.

26:54

We were having literally a meeting with our

26:56

like laptops that were like hi, hello here

26:59

over, I'm just we we did ever laptop

27:01

we were.

27:01

It was.

27:02

It was we were about fifty yards

27:04

away from this outrage.

27:06

It's like remember the Lashawn McCoy invite

27:09

that went.

27:09

Out, like exactly what I'm thinking.

27:11

We'll pick you up on.

27:12

A desolate street corner in a van and take

27:14

you to the party. I got a feeling Jamal

27:16

maybe not as on the radar

27:18

as Lashan did. Shady made him stake there had

27:21

a similar like rounding up of all

27:23

the hot women in South Beach, and

27:25

we were sitting there, four laptops

27:27

open, fifty yards away, just like pretending

27:30

to be or trying to

27:32

organize our thoughts for upcoming episodes.

27:35

I thought it and it's.

27:36

Like every hot girl that's ever existed surrounding

27:38

Jamal Adams.

27:39

So the crazy thing was it was like Wednesday

27:41

at like one pm.

27:42

It was part of it seemed odd

27:44

to me.

27:45

It put you in a bit of a tough spot because I think you're you're

27:47

obviously in a completely different world. But Jamal Adams

27:49

now, but now he was sort of the centerpiece of the Jets,

27:51

and you could kind of tell it was cool.

27:53

Yeah, but you could tell.

27:53

From like twenty five yards the way it was he was

27:55

a little bit of a knucklehead. Yeah, and he

27:58

was pre organized this entire absurd party.

28:00

So you guys were show planning with

28:02

your laptops at the pool in Miami.

28:04

Oh yeah, yeah, it was like it was a hotel

28:06

emptiest pool at like noon on a Wednesday.

28:08

No, that's nice.

28:09

We actually got outside. Yes, that's exactly

28:12

what it was. It was. It was nice.

28:13

I remember there wasn't many league figures at the

28:15

hotel it so it's like they just put us one put

28:18

us in a hotel.

28:19

It started to turn wild though in many in

28:21

many ways shapes he was.

28:23

This is like a real deep cut

28:25

if you know, like nineties hip

28:27

hop, but if you remember when mc hammer

28:29

became Hammer and uh

28:32

and then you know, gangster rap took over

28:34

and he tried to employ like a West Coast sound.

28:36

He put out a single in like ninety five ninety six

28:39

called pumps in the bump and

28:42

pull up that on YouTube, the original version,

28:44

the one that got banned by MTV, and

28:47

then you'll know what Jamal Adams.

28:49

Party looked like.

28:50

Pretty what good reference mark

28:53

you, especially when you have some private time me

28:55

look it up.

28:56

Yes, it's very yeah, Rex and report

28:58

back Drumshaker would be another you

29:00

know, totem poll of the era.

29:02

But anyway, I think Adams, you know,

29:04

he had a really unfortunate

29:07

like took a pot shot at a former Jets

29:09

beat reporter's wife recently over

29:12

you know, a tweet that called out his suspect

29:14

coverage and general has made bad decisions.

29:16

I'm just wondering, as you have the right mindset

29:18

to catch on somewhere and we

29:21

shall see. In other news that some

29:23

tight end news. The Texans

29:26

signed Dalton Schultz to a

29:28

three year contract, so they

29:30

keep one of their weapons around.

29:33

Young quarterback C J. Stroud.

29:34

Also out there reported that veteran

29:37

tight end zach Ertz has agreed to a one year contract

29:39

with the Commanders.

29:40

According to ESPN, so two veteran

29:42

tight ends and.

29:43

Your guy Kaymi fairband back

29:45

with the Texans, easily the best kicker

29:47

on the market. Three years over fifteen

29:50

million, which average salary

29:52

you know, might pass Mac Gay. I'm not sure as

29:54

the highest paid kicker. We'll see the guarantee, but

29:57

he got paid there with every dollars. There's no tight

29:59

ends available, well whatsoever, Dalton

30:01

Saltz was the best one. I think it's kind

30:03

of an indication. Last year at this time he got

30:05

like a one year, prove it type of deal. But

30:08

now the league is flushed with all

30:10

this cap space, now he gets.

30:12

A nice one.

30:13

I was serious that they didn't tag Jonathan

30:15

Grenard, like after getting that

30:18

deal done with Dalton Schultz. I thought

30:20

for sure that would be the next step for them, the

30:22

next logical step. He's coming off a career best

30:24

season, but they didn't do it.

30:25

He and Daniel Hunter, who knew he wasn't going

30:28

to get tagged, had a good day Tuesday

30:31

because all those pass rushers got paid

30:33

and Grenard's the only like really young guy left.

30:35

Texans have the fourth most cap

30:37

room and they are being linked

30:39

here and there to Calvin Ridley because you know a

30:41

lot of the tags went to these wide receivers. There's not that

30:43

many veteran guys. That's a great draft for it too,

30:46

but also Saquon Barkley and to the Texans

30:48

would make some sense to me.

30:50

Oh, I love that.

30:52

In other news.

30:54

Still to me anyway, inexplicable

30:56

that Bill Belichick could not get one of the seven head

30:58

coaching jobs this off season, couldn't

31:00

find a match. So now he's essentially

31:03

just hanging out there, and now the

31:05

various networks are poking

31:08

around Bill.

31:09

Did you watch the game.

31:10

On see that's just

31:12

a freeze frame there an audio freeze

31:14

frame of the type of insight that

31:17

you're gonna get from a Bill Belichick in

31:19

the studio. But our buddy Andrew Marshan, who

31:21

by the way, it sounds like he got the

31:23

bag and went from the

31:26

post to the athletic home

31:28

of the New York Times, you'd

31:31

assume it the athletic is home at

31:34

the New York Times. At this point, I

31:36

would think Marshaan got

31:38

a nice raise. He should write an article on himself.

31:41

He really should, he is savvy. I would assume he

31:43

got a raise.

31:43

And we tried to have him on the show at the Super

31:45

Bowl because I love talking media with

31:48

Andrew, but he was at the timing didn't work

31:50

out, But we're gonna have to get Andrew back on the show soon

31:53

if we can.

31:53

Anyway, So here's a.

31:54

Scoop Bland me to talk about.

31:56

Lots to talk about. Have you been in

31:58

a Andrew Marshaan article before?

31:59

I have not.

32:00

I have not.

32:01

I would kind of like it to stay that way.

32:04

Sometimes it's great.

32:05

Yeah, it could be, Andrew.

32:07

I hope you're doing well.

32:07

Congratulations on the career

32:10

move anyway.

32:11

According to Marshawn, Belichick has

32:13

met with CBS and NBC. Also

32:16

in the mix, Peyton Manning. You know, he's got that

32:18

old Omaha productions

32:20

that seems to be doing well. They're trying to land him

32:23

as well. So obviously it's kind of got

32:25

to shan Peyton vibe to it. Connie, because

32:27

uh, Connie, who's our entrenched

32:29

media force, one of the faces of NFL

32:32

Network and our Thursday night football coverage and

32:34

hot damn at the super Bowl.

32:37

I mean, you did the in stadium anchor of

32:39

the Super Bowl.

32:39

That was fun.

32:40

Is it a weird how successful sometimes

32:43

she is because we know Colleen so well,

32:45

and you're a fully formed human and

32:49

and and well he might be.

32:51

Like I came in here as a child, like

32:53

a baby, and now I've been

32:55

brown up and I'm going off to college.

32:58

But what I'm trying to get Cemetery to do.

33:01

What I'm trying to say, is that so

33:03

polished on that

33:05

Super Bowl coverage, Like not even

33:07

I was I don't know why I was tracking.

33:09

This, just because I was kind of in awe of

33:11

you coming all.

33:13

Not a single flub because it's not like

33:15

one word, no ever in like

33:17

five hours of pre and in

33:19

game coverage.

33:20

Oh you should hear the conversation in my own head that's

33:22

going on as I'm hosting those

33:25

segments in those shows.

33:26

Like I said, though, I think you you know us different.

33:28

We all you bring guests to the Super Bowl and like they

33:30

get to hang out as a group, and like they were dazzled

33:33

by the fact that this was happening out

33:35

on the field during the entire I.

33:37

Was really.

33:39

I was really nervous about the Lombardi

33:42

Trophy hit when I

33:44

was out there with Larry's and it

33:46

was Larry'sanka and John Elway like the

33:48

two minute war that one, yeah, yeah, yeah, And

33:50

I didn't have anything prepared for that yet, and

33:53

I kept being like, Okay,

33:55

it's tough. It's now the third quarter fourth

33:57

quarters, coming up?

33:58

What am I going to do for this?

34:00

And then I just like kind

34:02

of went out and winged it and thank

34:04

god I landed the plane.

34:05

Well, the craziest not to

34:07

get two sidetracked, But the craziest one was

34:10

the two minute warning one in the fourth quarter.

34:12

Yeah, that one, right, And it reminded

34:14

me a little when we were in London

34:16

and we did our hits

34:19

and I threw out there

34:21

like, hey, John Harbaugh, let's start,

34:23

you know, being a little more aggressive in the red

34:25

zone, which you're not supposed to do.

34:27

Apparently over the loudspeaker.

34:28

Amazing, but you guys were over the over

34:30

the stadium at the two minute warning

34:33

right before the play that would have won

34:35

the Super Bowl for the forty nine ers, and

34:37

you guys were talking about it play. You're like, hey, coming

34:39

up, it's like a pretty big time play. And I'm just

34:41

thinking of all the forty nine ers. I'm sure the

34:43

coaches aren't exactly locked in, but there's got to be some

34:45

players on the bench that are like, listen

34:48

to this thing, about to play the biggest

34:50

play of their entire life. And there's Connie

34:52

and Steve Smith being like, oh, I think they should run

34:54

it or whatever you guys were saying, Oh was that

34:56

a crazy.

34:57

Oh in my head about those various hits.

35:00

I would if I also, if you stuck me next to Larry

35:02

Zanka with eighty thousand people watching,

35:04

like, ask him a question back. I remember

35:06

you from Family Matters. You were on that once.

35:09

Yet it that's the weird cameo.

35:10

That was cool. We go full like Chris Barley Show

35:13

with him.

35:14

Remember when you were with urcle

35:16

It's awesome anyway, so Belichick

35:19

will see it's gonna be a one year deal.

35:20

I would think, Oh, thing's weird though, how many

35:22

different casts can they have? The idea would

35:25

maybe be pairing him and saving but that's what they mentioned.

35:27

You can't just do it on Monday night. They already have the Manning

35:29

cat there and the regular.

35:30

He becomes a regular on the Manning cast.

35:32

There is one incredible sentence in this Athletic

35:34

article. Belichick has made it

35:36

clear he only wishes to talk about

35:38

aspects of football that interest him. But

35:41

this, of course is a two way street with the whatever

35:43

you know, he just wants to talk about the little things

35:45

that he's into, Like, wouldn't we all be so lucky?

35:47

Just to like just open.

35:49

Maybe there'll be more like hit pieces now on Bill

35:51

for wanting to do it his way, because God

35:53

forbid, God forbid, the greatest

35:55

coach of all time might want to do it his way.

35:57

Well, they, yeah, well he doesn't want it the

36:00

studio shows.

36:01

So if they were gonna use him, like it would be

36:03

some pre tape thing or it would be some you know,

36:05

he's gonna get deep on the x's and he

36:07

doesn't want to be sitting up there saying

36:09

like who's under more pressure today?

36:11

Or like what's your pick in the Sunday?

36:13

Like he's not gonna make game picks and do a bunch

36:15

of dope.

36:16

You don't think he's gonna do X factors.

36:18

God forbid that Bill doesn't have power

36:20

over Terry Fotto.

36:21

I mean, like just remember

36:23

this moment in time people.

36:25

That's all I'm gonna say.

36:28

Nothing personal to Terry.

36:29

But let's check out the old CVS

36:32

all right afternoon, Delight hit

36:34

it, Jack's cut, Darius

36:36

Williams, Rashawn Jenkins and fully

36:38

fought a Houston. He's former Jets.

36:40

I shouldn't know this bat too. Cassi, Yes,

36:43

defensive tackle. Speaking of the Jets, they

36:45

cut free agents. Signing Bust Lake

36:47

and Tomlinson never worked for him, and

36:50

c j Uzama another price.

36:52

He signing a tight end a couple years ago didn't work. I see

36:54

a lot of things don't work out. The

36:57

heads up a lot of the signings next week will

36:59

fail.

37:00

Anthers cut Dante Jackson and Hayden Hurst, and

37:02

the Dolphins also say goodbye

37:04

to Jerome Baker or anything

37:06

on that anyone.

37:07

The one thing I looked up because Tomlinson

37:09

I think I liked him going in and

37:11

it didn't happen Like PFF, like the Jets

37:14

current offensive line. We know it's a draft

37:16

kneed, but in general, it's like, you know how

37:18

PFF scores like they get into reds and orange

37:20

and it just looks like a forest fire. You

37:23

want deep greens and blues, and it's like they've got

37:25

some work to do.

37:26

They don't have many guys that they know are

37:28

playing a certain spot.

37:29

You got like Vera Tucker and that's about it.

37:31

Barat Tucker, who I think is gonna kick and tackle there

37:34

right, Joe Tipman who had a really nice rookie

37:36

year. They need two guards and a left

37:38

tackle, and that is the only thing they

37:41

should be focused on.

37:42

With a forty year old quarterback coming up, keep an eye on

37:44

the Jaguars.

37:45

Darius Williams played really well for them last year and

37:47

they cut him just to open cap space. They just

37:49

feel like a team that's either all or nothing, and they

37:51

feel like they might be pretty noisy in the

37:53

next week.

38:00

Well done, nailed.

38:01

Uh. After the break truth

38:03

serum for NFL figures

38:11

read welcome back.

38:13

So this is this is crazy.

38:16

You guys might may have noticed that I

38:18

have this weird propensity to

38:21

be randomly connected to well

38:24

known figures across very

38:27

Yeah, I do,

38:30

fine,

38:30

guys, popped up

38:33

a connection to like you two, to a soccer

38:36

team, to you know, here and there. It

38:38

just pops up. Not not anything that through ambition.

38:41

It just happens. Sometimes it's cool,

38:44

uh, The latest example of course being Sheilin

38:46

Patel, new owner of West

38:48

brom Bling bling Let's

38:51

go.

38:52

Boing Boying, isn't it bling bling?

38:53

With We're new? We're

38:55

new in our fandom cash money Records.

38:58

John was like, is boy boying something

39:00

on the pod that they do?

39:02

And it's like, not that I know of, not yet,

39:05

but.

39:05

Yeah, not bling blaining Boing Boying is

39:08

Uh, it's a it's a West brom.

39:10

Thing, right, so maybe

39:13

maybe we can bring bling bling back?

39:15

Though did it leave?

39:16

It's a jam?

39:17

Okay, So what's the song? Oh, the song itself.

39:20

We can't play songs on this show. But anyway,

39:22

uh So, anyway, I got another and

39:25

this one's really weird, and I'm surprised

39:27

I never brought him up before.

39:28

His name is vill

39:30

Helm von Tuffelhammer. He's

39:33

a prominent it's not.

39:34

A Sessler character that's made up.

39:36

What is happening.

39:36

He is a prominent doctor and scientist

39:39

of the unknown origins, and

39:41

he has I've been made aware.

39:43

Because we caught up recently. He's developed a

39:45

serum.

39:47

It should be.

39:50

In very early clinical trials because

39:53

we really don't know.

39:56

What the effects are long term or

39:58

even midterm or.

39:59

Even sounds dangerous.

40:01

However, Willhelm isn't

40:04

thought to be doing very well, and I

40:07

and I think he's basically fast

40:09

tracking it because he's trying to you

40:11

know, beat the you know, the big deadline

40:13

in the sky.

40:14

Put it that way.

40:14

Well, this serum cure himself,

40:17

cure whatever is ailing him.

40:18

I don't think truth is gonna help him

40:20

physiologically. I think he's I'm

40:23

just saying he's getting older. I

40:25

don't know him well, but it's just like one of those weird connections.

40:27

So anyway, he get this patented, let's get the swinging

40:30

rolling.

40:30

Yeah, he wants to see his life saving.

40:32

Done that with other serums in the past.

40:33

Let's get this thing rolling, is right. Yeah.

40:35

So

40:38

so with that said,

40:42

he's going to come in here a little bit later.

40:45

Let's be aware. Okay, will hem is

40:48

ball line Rosenthal. Here

40:50

we go.

40:50

Let's get into it. We're gonna have

40:52

some key figures in the NFL, all

40:54

right, free agencies

40:57

coming up, a new season's coming up, crazy

40:59

offseason. Uh, and kind

41:02

of a press conference here, and

41:04

hopefully we'll get some real answers.

41:06

Got it? Yes? Is that?

41:08

Are we good? Great? I think that makes sense. All right, let's

41:10

do. Let's start.

41:12

Let's welcome in someone that everyone

41:14

knows well, Baker Mayfield.

41:16

So Baker Mayfield obviously has a big

41:20

has a big week.

41:21

Coming up for him.

41:22

So if you want to open up the

41:24

floor, two questions, go for it.

41:26

Uh Yeah, sorry, how about this Baker?

41:29

You you said you know, through

41:32

maybe your intermediates, there was some reporting that

41:34

you you wanted to have

41:37

a chance to win a championship. Would

41:39

you be willing to, you know, maybe

41:42

take less money to stay in

41:44

Tampa after they helped resurrect your

41:46

career here.

41:47

You know, it's been incredible

41:50

run in Tampa. Uh.

41:53

You know, they welcomed me in last year

41:55

and gave me an opportunity to start, and

41:58

so that means a lot to me.

41:59

And I love it there. My family loves

42:02

it there.

42:03

So hometown discounts

42:05

I think they call him. I don't know about that, but I

42:08

just I'm very excited to be part of the.

42:10

Free agency process. But also I love

42:13

Tampa.

42:14

Thanks Baker inside

42:17

this fire, He's

42:19

a miracle truth

42:22

serum.

42:25

They say it does not.

42:26

Exist, but I

42:28

assure you my

42:31

lab has proven them a wrong.

42:39

I've got to stop smoking.

42:42

Mmm that could be a fact.

42:44

Uh oh, listen, man,

42:46

I'm terrified. M

42:49

Baker Me, I'm terrified. I

42:52

know I stumbled into the perfect place to

42:55

spend the rest of my NFL year as a

42:57

place where I could be myself, place

43:00

where I could be a slightly less

43:03

productive, but more likable version of Derek

43:05

Carr. The people of Tampa

43:07

they're okay with me being me, So

43:10

just let me chill here for another five

43:12

or six years. I'll throw for like

43:16

thirty five hundred yards and twenty six touchdowns,

43:19

will go eight to nine or nine and eight every year,

43:21

ups and downs.

43:22

But like it the NFC South, and this is

43:24

my speed.

43:25

And even the idea of going

43:27

to Atlanta, which obviously is also in the NFC South,

43:30

where there are actual real

43:32

expectations to improve after some

43:34

failure there at the quarterback position, I'm

43:37

not into that. I'm just not into the pressure anymore.

43:39

I was the number one overall pick,

43:42

you might remember, of the Cleveland Browns.

43:45

I had some success there. Do you remember after

43:48

I won a playoff game there? The next year, a lot of people

43:50

were picking the Browns with

43:52

me as the quarterback to go to the Super Bowl. Do you have any

43:54

idea the amount of pressure

43:58

to be in that spot. I've been there, I've

44:00

done that.

44:01

I'm out.

44:03

I'm done. And don't even get me started on.

44:05

This report out there, this forcacta report

44:07

about me going to the Patriots. I'd

44:10

rather you throw a harpoon

44:12

clear through my chest then go

44:14

and freeze up in New England and get my ass

44:17

kicked for four months. No

44:20

man, NFC south the

44:22

bucks. That's my speed. Let's get

44:24

it done.

44:25

That classic Baker confidence that we've

44:28

come to know is in full

44:30

force apparently within well.

44:31

I have a question you at this press conference,

44:34

Baker, like, do you see

44:36

a future as a big time endorser

44:40

moving forward? You say

44:42

you want the less pressure, but it

44:44

isn't a big contract going to be a

44:47

lot of pressure no matter where it is. And do you want

44:49

those progressive ads back? Because you're hell of an

44:51

actor.

44:51

Thank you for bringing up the progressive ads because that's what

44:53

this is ultimately about. I need to be just

44:56

good enough to hang around for

44:58

about a half dozen year to re establish my brand

45:00

fully with the progressive ads being

45:02

my main goal. To get back into that game,

45:05

same ad campaign, but this time and that

45:08

dopey stadium with the pirate ship.

45:09

That's what's it.

45:10

Let's let's imagine a world bigger where

45:12

that ship has sailed into the distance.

45:14

You're about to become a dad. Congratulations

45:16

all that.

45:17

Are you doing the kind of parent thing where

45:19

like you're kind of downshifting the focus

45:21

on career and you're trying to do the safest possible

45:24

thing, Like this doesn't feel like the Baker that

45:26

I've known in the past where it's like you got the chip on

45:28

the shoulder, you're shooting for the stars.

45:30

Instead you're just Tampa works, Tampa No.

45:32

And I understand. And Mark, good to see you.

45:34

I know you have an affinity for me, even

45:37

though I'm not seen as like a major

45:40

financial man with major

45:42

financial cloud.

45:42

I'm incredibly rich.

45:44

The kid is cool and uh and I got a wife

45:47

and an O pair and all sorts

45:49

of help. I'm all about football and

45:51

making money right now. So that's that's

45:53

the answer. I'm but it's just hanging around

45:55

and I and I think that's that's enough for me. But

45:58

thank you for having me on. I don't

46:00

really want to be here, but it was part of.

46:02

My media engagement.

46:04

Just one more, one more quickly, Yes, where

46:06

are you on the creamsicle jerseys

46:08

and the actual canons that are fired

46:11

from that ship?

46:15

Where am I?

46:16

Yeah? Just in your headspace right

46:18

now?

46:18

They're fine. Yeah, it's like the

46:20

six out of ten in my mind, they're

46:23

fine. Okay, all right, thank

46:25

you Baker, all right, there he goes.

46:26

Thanks.

46:27

I feel it's so refreshment to hear much

46:29

truth, to hear how people feel.

46:32

I'm beginning to think. What's his name

46:34

again? The doctor?

46:36

Uh, doctor will Wilhelm

46:38

von Tufflhammer.

46:39

His the efficacy of his injection

46:43

was incredible and immediate when he came,

46:46

when he came in that room.

46:47

After effects, we do the side effects, you know, we

46:49

don't We won't know for a long time.

46:53

All right, Colin, who's the next person coming in?

46:54

Okay? Next person is drawed

46:57

Mayo.

46:58

Rod Mayo, Wow, new head

47:01

coach of the New England Patriots.

47:03

Yes, mister

47:06

Mayo, is I guess we'll start here? You

47:09

feel like you have big shoes to fill? Is there

47:11

an intimidation level

47:14

in terms of replacing a giant

47:16

like Belichick?

47:17

Well?

47:17

If I was someone who got

47:20

intimidated, I wouldn't be here. My confidence

47:23

has brought me to this spot

47:25

in New England, and I feel

47:27

really good about where we're at.

47:29

The future ahead, the transition that

47:31

we're going to go through as well.

47:33

Ah, I see

47:35

you ah afraid.

47:38

Of me, my dear, that

47:41

is not to be afraid?

47:42

Are you sure? Are

47:46

you okay?

47:50

Am I going to get whatever.

47:51

You have to be afraid of? Just

47:54

a little peach?

47:55

Sure?

47:56

Yes, that's right.

47:59

Let's this them, dude, it's

48:01

bidding.

48:04

As you were saying, mister Mayl.

48:08

Man, listen, I

48:11

don't know what was in that injection, but I'll

48:13

tell you what.

48:14

I've been having some night terrors.

48:15

I've been having night terirs every night, and

48:18

it's Belichick and I

48:20

mean, I thought that we were all on the same page

48:22

when I said that we're ready to burn some

48:25

cash. Apparently that was just me

48:27

that was ready to burn some cash. But I

48:29

think the entire organization should be ready

48:31

to burn some cash and free agency. We

48:34

need to make a lot of moves around here, and if

48:36

this is my first season with New England,

48:39

it better be successful. We

48:41

need some wide receivers, We probably

48:43

need a tight end.

48:44

We need so.

48:45

Many things that I can't I don't even have enough

48:47

time to talk about it right now. The

48:49

legacy that has been left behind those

48:52

shoes are so hard to fill. I'm

48:54

not sure how it's gonna get done, but I'm just crossing

48:56

my fingers at this point and hoping that it all goes well.

48:59

Well. Do you feel like there's extra

49:01

pressure on you to even be anything close

49:03

to Bill Belichick or are you kind of writing and willing

49:05

to be your own guy. You've talked about a culture

49:07

change. It sounds like your head's you know, a

49:09

miss right now.

49:11

You know, I would be lying if

49:14

I didn't say that.

49:15

I felt very stressed out and a lot of anxiety,

49:17

and every conversation seems like the

49:19

world is maybe like crumbling down. But I do see

49:21

a lot of hope ahead too, and I'm really positive

49:24

about where this team is heading. And Elliott

49:27

Wolf, I'm hoping that he wants to burn some

49:29

cash because that's really the main

49:32

priority here.

49:33

We have eighty eight million dollars in cap

49:36

Spain.

49:36

But yeah, I'm I'm real stressed

49:38

out about what the future holds

49:41

in the AFC East and in Foxborough

49:43

in general.

49:43

Guys, you're kind of set up to fail.

49:45

It almost sounds like I hope not I

49:47

hope that I wasn't brought in here to fail, Dan

49:50

Hansis, because that would be real bad

49:52

about.

49:52

It, real bad.

49:53

You really gave you know, you

49:57

know, a recovering Patriots fan like me some

49:59

contentvidence with the way you carried yourself

50:01

in your opening press conferences. And this

50:05

change has me worried. Even

50:07

the phrase burning cash has me worried.

50:09

Any concern about for instance,

50:12

a couple of years ago, the Patriots went into free

50:14

agency, they spent a lot of money,

50:16

everyone was all excited and

50:18

then they got like three solid years

50:21

of Hunter Henry and not much else.

50:23

Like can you really fix a team in

50:25

free agency?

50:26

You know, Greg, That's something that we're

50:28

gonna find out very soon, and

50:31

we sure hope. So it seems

50:33

like at times that it can't get any worse,

50:35

that it can only go up from here after

50:38

what's happened with Mac and how

50:40

Bill sort of left the state of things here

50:42

in New England. But we're gonna have

50:44

to just hope and pray and

50:47

if you have a blessed mother, put her in the window.

50:50

All right, Well, thank you very much, mister Mayo.

50:52

No problem. What was in this?

50:54

Give me a drink?

50:56

Yeah, let's get them hydrated immediately

50:59

that was concidered.

51:00

Let's get them off their feet and hydrated.

51:02

I could feel his stress.

51:06

The anxiety was pouring off Girard

51:08

as well.

51:08

Totally, totally all

51:11

from Gerard.

51:13

Up next, Greg is who uh,

51:16

Brian Dables is going to be?

51:18

Yes the Giants entering

51:21

his third year as head coach. First

51:23

year, Well, let me ask you, Brian,

51:25

first year could not have gone better? I mean

51:28

not only did the Giants make

51:30

the playoffs. That was a surprise, you wan, I was the man.

51:32

Yeah, you want to host in New York. You

51:36

were supposed to be, you were supposed to win, You're

51:38

supposed to have a good second season as well. It

51:41

didn't go out. It didn't go that way. So where

51:43

where's your headspace at? Do you believe in this team

51:46

getting back on the winning track in twenty four?

51:47

Yeah?

51:48

You know, we always looked at this as a three

51:50

year building plan. That's what you do when

51:52

you come in. Me and Joe Shane from

51:54

from Buffalo, we've

51:56

been slowly adding pieces

51:59

in point towards year three is

52:01

when it's really art.

52:04

Ah.

52:05

Yes, my next

52:07

patient, hold

52:09

out your arm please? Is

52:11

this front hurt very

52:14

much? Wait?

52:17

Is this stracula?

52:20

Excuse me?

52:22

You may feel a bit strange forever.

52:25

I'm not sure this.

52:26

Guy

52:28

but trusted. Yeah,

52:31

he's no fighting the effects.

52:35

As you were saying, Brian, get

52:40

handkerchief. Oh god.

52:42

And I

52:45

haven't felt like this since the NFL Honors

52:48

a couple of years ago.

52:49

Remember that was great.

52:51

I was a good old days, top

52:53

of the world. Now I'm just uh,

52:56

collecting a paycheck. What

52:58

what are we doing here.

52:59

Brian, Do you have any regrets about

53:02

signing Daniel Jones last

53:05

season over Saquon Barkley.

53:07

I mean regrets. I never wanted to do it in the first

53:09

place. This was all from upstairs.

53:11

We got our headline.

53:14

Good job coming, oh the Tiffany

53:16

franchise of New York, the New York

53:19

Giants. We treat our quarterbacks

53:21

well as long as they vaguely resemble

53:24

Eli Manning. Why did we give him

53:26

this contract? We're locked into it. It's

53:28

forty million dollars. I

53:30

got Joe Shane here, I thought he was. He

53:32

said, we're gonna be like Buffalo. You know what Buffalo

53:35

did their first few years. They signed a bunch of

53:37

great free agents and made a bunch of great

53:39

draft picks. Who we got, We got Darren Waller. Are

53:41

you playing for me this year? Who's

53:43

on our defense? It took

53:45

me half the season just to get over Wink

53:48

Martindale trying to bury me to

53:51

reporters, I'm a

53:53

I'm a mess right now.

53:54

Give me some players. Who's our defensive

53:56

court here?

53:56

Literally?

53:57

Does anyone know who are defensive

53:59

coordinator? Is Shane Bowen?

54:02

Does he have a wiki page?

54:04

While we have you in the state. I have to ask

54:06

you, would you consider yourself the bigger small

54:08

spoon?

54:10

Ah? Very good? Have you seen me? Of

54:12

course I'm the big spoon.

54:13

I'm able.

54:15

Come on, I mean you would have thought you're

54:17

What do you think we got Keevon Thibodeau. I mean he seems

54:19

like a very outspoken player

54:22

and productive, no doubt.

54:23

But you know, what do you think about him?

54:24

Ultimately got good guy. He was a

54:26

good pick, nice pass

54:28

rusher. We need more people

54:32

like him. I also like his entire just

54:34

media strategy. He seems to have like a

54:36

great feel of like who do.

54:38

I talk to?

54:39

Who do I you know, kind of make my media friend?

54:41

And who do I consider an enemy?

54:43

Like that guy? Anything else you'd like to add, Brian, I.

54:47

Just need players.

54:48

Tuon was like one of our only great

54:51

players, right, Okay, Okay, we

54:53

got Andrew Thomas, we got

54:56

Saquon.

54:58

And so we've got two players.

55:00

Right.

55:00

Oh, so let's not keep one of those two. Oh

55:02

we got Dexter Lawrence. Okay, but that was

55:05

a Dave Gettleman pick. Give me some picks, Give

55:07

me some players. Joe Shane, I want to see

55:10

it because I'm just out there coaching my ass

55:12

off, turning Darius Slayton into

55:14

a wide receiver one and one Del Robinson.

55:16

I need some more players, Butcher record this year.

55:21

You gotta go.

55:24

Not feeling good right now.

55:25

If we can nail the next few weeks,

55:27

maybe we can scratch out eight or nine wins. But

55:29

we got to nail the next couple of weeks. If Joe helps

55:31

me, I'm doing a great job coaching Brian.

55:34

We want to apologize in advance,

55:37

both for the potential devastating after effects

55:39

of that injection and also what the New

55:41

York media is about to do to you.

55:43

Wait, this is public.

55:44

Bye bye.

55:46

There he goes, sounds like he needs

55:48

vacation.

55:51

Vacation, all

55:53

right, Mark, who else is joining us? All right?

55:57

I am a part of the Fox number

56:00

one broadcasting team. Greg

56:02

Olsen?

56:02

Oh very all right?

56:05

I mean this is a and he's doing.

56:06

Greg, You've really proven yourself to be

56:08

one of the very best in the game.

56:11

Or excuse me, yeah, Greg, you

56:14

looked at him.

56:15

I know, well is Greg?

56:17

He threw me off.

56:18

Greg Olsen, you have

56:20

proven yourself to be at the top of your game.

56:23

Of course, how does it feel this Tom Brady

56:25

situation? Hanging over everything as we

56:27

enter a new year.

56:28

You know, you know I've been doing this for

56:30

a certain amount of time. I've grown to

56:32

love the job. I would say

56:34

that number one, I've always been a team player where it was

56:37

on the field at Fox like I have

56:39

a philosophical approach to just go out

56:41

there and call the best, the very best game that

56:43

you possibly He's.

56:44

Just van.

56:49

It is still still true

56:51

locked inside your brain, be

56:55

campbulling out.

56:58

I go on Tom Brady

57:05

lotenge. You need more than a lotenge, my friend?

57:08

Can people not see the parallel that

57:10

I. I came in as an unknown uh

57:13

into the broadcasting booth, and I

57:15

have been a crystal clear technical

57:18

lighthouse from the word go and

57:20

you got Tom Brady.

57:21

I'm sorry you start? Did you say a crystal clear absolute

57:24

light?

57:24

Can I speak about football? Got

57:27

some I teach people

57:29

about football in a way that you know what you

57:31

Just because you played quarterback doesn't mean it works.

57:34

Tom Brady spent his whole career telling us and whining

57:36

about where he was drafted and who he became agree

57:39

greatest quarterback of all time? But I

57:41

just would like to reform you that go

57:43

back to someone like Johnny unitis that had

57:45

that his time, and the greatest quarterback

57:48

career came in and failed in the booth

57:50

famously. How about Bill Walsh, you

57:52

ever one thought was the smartest coach of all time?

57:54

Super Ultra bor Fest newsfest

57:57

on air. You tell me one time that Tom

57:59

Brady is ever truly made you laugh

58:01

because of a genuine attachment to wit.

58:04

And we're just gonna come in here and throw me

58:06

down to the Joe Davis, Darryl

58:08

Johnston spot number two. You're gonna apparently

58:10

with someone else, and Tom Brady is gonna just

58:12

get handed this massive multimillion

58:15

dollar deal And people everywhere are going

58:17

to be saying, what happened to the great

58:19

Burkhart Olsen pairing that would

58:21

have been here and should have been here for twenty five years.

58:24

This will go down as the biggest

58:26

mistake in network television history.

58:29

Wow, Craig Olson, Uh,

58:31

when you think about Tom Brady, and obviously

58:33

you've really just outlined how you feel

58:36

about him, But how quickly do you think he will

58:38

be able to catch on to this craft?

58:40

Having gone through this yourself?

58:42

Well, I don't know. Did I take to need an entire

58:44

year to sit in my den crafting

58:47

concept, how I might announce No, I just went

58:49

and did it right away, So how long will it take him

58:51

to catch on? So far the track record

58:53

is not promising.

58:54

You literally were still in the NFL

58:57

the first time that you did it. Of course,

58:59

as you know, I think it was like a bye week for.

59:03

I've always been.

59:03

Impressed with you, Greg Fellow, Greg not

59:06

Greg Olsen. You are Greg Olson.

59:09

We saw you in Las Vegas. You just

59:11

look like a man who's a good time one

59:13

at life and is always winning.

59:16

How does it sit with you to

59:18

lose this power struggle?

59:21

And will you respond by trying to

59:23

get a number one job maybe at.

59:25

Another network like Amazon?

59:28

I Greg, I appreciate the question, Greg,

59:31

Greg Rosenthal, anything is on the table.

59:33

I do recall seeing the couple

59:35

of you in Vegas, and I think that you noticed that I

59:37

was beautiful and powerful in that casino,

59:39

that I stood out as a human bee. I

59:43

will not I will not stop being that, whether

59:45

it's at Fox or elsewhere. Parts unknown,

59:48

white cis male hetero. I

59:50

was taken aback by

59:53

You're almost a statue of a man just standing

59:55

in that casino, and it was an honor to run

59:57

into you. And say hello to you. And the

59:59

Mark Sessler character who's not here also like

1:00:02

stood out as someone that really understands broadcasting,

1:00:04

like the two of you, and I think you can see

1:00:06

that. My argument is, uh,

1:00:08

Christine, it is powerful. It is based

1:00:11

in reality.

1:00:11

A technical lighthouse, technical lighthouse.

1:00:14

Absolutely well, good luck

1:00:16

to you.

1:00:17

I don't need luck.

1:00:19

I love it. I love that guy, I absolutely

1:00:22

love that all

1:00:24

the time.

1:00:24

Well, let's see how the

1:00:26

body and mind reacts.

1:00:28

How long does it stay with you?

1:00:32

This could be a whole new like seven

1:00:34

to four crew wraps

1:00:36

coming in Greg Olson.

1:00:38

After this, Greg stated efficacy off

1:00:40

the charts, obviously, But.

1:00:43

We were I thought we were assured that we'll

1:00:45

be safe forever.

1:00:46

There's no questions, no sorry, you

1:00:49

could leave Greg and and good

1:00:51

luck you and just

1:00:53

realize this was for

1:00:55

science ultimately, and we'll

1:00:57

see how plays out. All right, let's take a break

1:01:00

and we'll be right back. All

1:01:02

right, welcome back. A

1:01:05

little bit of news that just came across here. The

1:01:08

bills are working to get

1:01:10

under the cap. This from rap

1:01:12

sheet and they make the move to

1:01:15

release. Oh, I thought we were done with the good

1:01:17

doctor.

1:01:17

He's still here.

1:01:19

He thought he'd be at the hospital by now he's

1:01:21

interrupting the breaking news.

1:01:22

How much serum does he have?

1:01:24

I understand you ought

1:01:26

to be a very special

1:01:29

case.

1:01:31

Zess Dog.

1:01:35

Oh yes, mister sysed

1:01:38

dog, you are so

1:01:41

mysterious until

1:01:44

my true serum is injected

1:01:46

in your veins.

1:01:48

That is the

1:01:50

good doctor.

1:01:51

Every time.

1:01:52

He's gotta stop laughing.

1:01:55

Ah, come on, man, it's

1:01:57

cough ridiculous.

1:02:02

Wow we got we got the serum

1:02:04

and Sessler. Wow, what an opportunity

1:02:06

this is? Is not feel workplace

1:02:09

fair?

1:02:10

Does anybody want to do you have a question?

1:02:12

I mean, I would love you to start.

1:02:14

Mark has turned to Ash and Mark,

1:02:17

Yeah, I guess I'll just start with a

1:02:19

little bit of a softball. How

1:02:22

are you feeling right now after the

1:02:24

serum? What are you afraid of?

1:02:26

What are you free?

1:02:28

Yeah? I don't know what's just been injected into

1:02:30

my body, but I am starting to feel concerned

1:02:32

about just the one mental processing over

1:02:34

you.

1:02:35

I got one. Do you want

1:02:38

to be here right now.

1:02:41

For another ten minutes? Tops?

1:02:43

Like, in what sense here

1:02:45

on the earth? Longer

1:02:48

on the earth?

1:02:48

Do you have any plans to

1:02:50

leave the country in the next six

1:02:53

weeks?

1:02:55

Well, when I make plans like they just come out of thin

1:02:57

air. So it's a total possibility. Not

1:03:00

currently on the map. There's a work trip to

1:03:02

Mexico with a bunch of people that we were not invited to

1:03:04

because we're too well, that's true, not even

1:03:06

approach.

1:03:06

Okay, well then you can you can plan your own

1:03:08

one.

1:03:09

Where would you go if you could go anywhere right this

1:03:11

minute after the show. Work doesn't even matter, it doesn't

1:03:13

even exist anymore. Money doesn't matter, it doesn't exist.

1:03:15

Where would you go in Mexico or worldwide anywhere?

1:03:19

But you have to decide in

1:03:21

the next couple seconds, and you have to

1:03:23

stay.

1:03:24

There, go to Belgium.

1:03:25

You have to go to Belgium and never

1:03:27

return nice and never return like this.

1:03:29

Is an opportunity for you right here?

1:03:30

Yeah, times jointing out the serum only has a

1:03:32

half life of minutes.

1:03:33

Okay, your Brown's fandom, are you just

1:03:35

gonna.

1:03:37

Keep they?

1:03:38

I wish you would. Let's let's be real.

1:03:40

I need certain things to change, but I

1:03:42

felt it during the Flacco run.

1:03:45

I really did. And the change I needed happened during

1:03:47

the Flacco run, and it's I can return

1:03:49

to anything. You're I'm about

1:03:51

forgiving them, about rethinking certain

1:03:54

things, but certain things they've done made it tough

1:03:56

for me to sign up on it. When you have

1:03:58

to talk about it all the time on a show.

1:04:01

You're back, No, notarily

1:04:04

No.

1:04:04

I'm like, I'm like outside

1:04:07

the door, kind of looking through a door with a little.

1:04:09

You were back though, like ye drafting

1:04:11

them week after week before Fla is

1:04:14

meeting.

1:04:14

It's toughest match.

1:04:15

Yeah, Blaco, if Flacco, if there's there

1:04:17

is an interest between flat doctor.

1:04:19

Bill help, you have met your match.

1:04:20

Okay, before that serum runs

1:04:22

out, let's go like me,

1:04:25

Greg ROSENTHALP, Yeah, pros.

1:04:27

Cons, give me some give me.

1:04:29

You have been a genuine friend to

1:04:31

me.

1:04:32

You have.

1:04:32

You're someone that I've looked up to from a career

1:04:34

angle, and you're I think

1:04:36

when we go out on the town sometimes we go to

1:04:38

like our places where we used to go with Wes,

1:04:41

like we have a great time.

1:04:42

For some reason, I'm more interested in

1:04:44

the cons. Frankly, only the cons. That's

1:04:47

just says something about me.

1:04:48

The doctor has met as mat truly all

1:04:52

right, I think it wore off now I'm sorry

1:04:54

doing that again that.

1:04:57

I would say from what I recall of it, Uh,

1:05:00

you know, they weren't all softballs,

1:05:02

but you could have gone you could have asked tougher

1:05:04

questions that would have put me in a road.

1:05:06

It already felt kind of like a frankly

1:05:08

a dick move to pump this potential

1:05:10

poison into you.

1:05:11

So yeah, I didn't want to like double

1:05:13

down. No, I think you were all very gentle to

1:05:15

me.

1:05:15

Actually, the look on your face and everyone

1:05:18

should check out our YouTube. I don't know if I guess

1:05:20

they can't really like zoom in on their phone,

1:05:22

but the look on your face when in the real

1:05:24

estate figured Aaron was coming it

1:05:27

was gonna haunt me, you could, I.

1:05:28

Didn't know was.

1:05:31

Perfect.

1:05:31

I mean a good doctor

1:05:34

that we've created such a real feel

1:05:36

world that it did sense for just

1:05:39

a flash that you thought it was actually

1:05:41

happening.

1:05:42

Yeah, because I yes, I did.

1:05:44

I also terrified that Dan called

1:05:47

for a doctor for the Doctor at one

1:05:49

point during the show too, the.

1:05:50

Little Doctor on Doctor.

1:05:52

It's like when Dave Damashek is

1:05:54

fascinated by tow trucks being towed by tow

1:05:56

trucks.

1:05:57

What it's a

1:05:59

thing, all right?

1:06:01

Yeah, back to the breaking news, and we

1:06:04

needed to get this one in the show because

1:06:07

you know, Eric Roberts demanded

1:06:09

it, but it's important. The Bills are working to get under

1:06:11

the cap, so they say goodbye to safety Jordan Poyer.

1:06:15

His cap number was seven and a half million. This

1:06:17

is from rap sheet. So Poyer

1:06:21

is he's a piece of that defense and a

1:06:23

pretty big one Gregy and now they

1:06:26

let's see if maybe he rejoins a team on

1:06:28

a different deal.

1:06:29

But he's headed to free agency. Where's he on the one

1:06:31

on one good question.

1:06:33

He's an older safety

1:06:36

that's not helping him. There's a lot of safeties

1:06:38

out there. I think though this is more

1:06:40

significant, you know, and Bill's fans will

1:06:43

get this, But for the average fan, like to me, this

1:06:45

Bill's run starts with

1:06:48

Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde, which

1:06:50

is interesting. And I we were

1:06:52

just listening to the press conference of Dable of

1:06:55

what a great job the Bills did when McDermott

1:06:57

got there, and part of it was they got these culture

1:06:59

setters, like right off the bat in this

1:07:01

tandem. And they did a press conference after the last

1:07:03

playoff game for the Bills, and I thought

1:07:05

that might have been a sign that like they were on

1:07:08

their way out. Micah Hyde is reportedly considering

1:07:10

retiring he is on the one O one, But

1:07:13

to me, it might be a little bit of an end of an era

1:07:15

for the Bills, and they're sneaking in a lot of cap

1:07:18

cap struggles, so there might be more

1:07:20

big moves to.

1:07:21

Open an opportunity for Damar hammil In.

1:07:23

There is he contract? I mean he

1:07:25

obviously he's.

1:07:26

Pissed off Bills fans because he went on he

1:07:28

put out a quote saying that it would be the

1:07:30

highlight of his life to retire with the Steelers.

1:07:32

He's a pit guy, you guys.

1:07:34

So he's under contract currently? Is he said

1:07:36

to be a free agent or are.

1:07:37

We allowed We're now to be allowed to be upset with him

1:07:39

at this?

1:07:40

Oh dude, Well, Bills

1:07:42

fans are pissed. They're like, all good, good Rid and see

1:07:44

you later. Because he said, like, yeah, it would be like a free

1:07:46

agent to be I'm not entirely sure.

1:07:48

That's a very strange thing to say.

1:07:50

I don't think contract.

1:07:51

In his probably best case scenario, he'd be like a third

1:07:53

season.

1:07:54

But he's a pit guy. He went to pay. He's from Pittsburgh,

1:07:56

so that makes sense.

1:07:57

But yeah, did doctor will Helm Vah tough

1:07:59

old Hammer get to we

1:08:01

don't need to.

1:08:02

Let's just let's leave.

1:08:04

I won't see, Like, we don't need to be

1:08:06

testing DeMar Hamlin's body for this.

1:08:08

It's fine for this team that like still considers

1:08:11

themselves like a super Bowl contender. They're forty

1:08:13

two like before this move, they're forty two

1:08:15

million in the red. No team as a bigger

1:08:17

cap hell situation. I think they have

1:08:19

tougher decisions ahead.

1:08:20

That Von Miller deal really

1:08:23

hurt them, And I don't think they're gonna get rid of von Miller

1:08:25

necessarily because he has so much guaranteed money.

1:08:27

You might as well just see what he looks like in August.

1:08:30

If you're not saving any money by getting rid of him.

1:08:32

I don't know what they're going to do with the safety position. Like those

1:08:34

two have been there for seven years.

1:08:36

It's a DeMar Hamlin is not

1:08:38

under contract.

1:08:39

There you go circling back to.

1:08:42

Oh, after this year, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

1:08:44

So this year one more year tuffle Hammer

1:08:46

got him.

1:08:48

Yeah, because the I guess the Broncos,

1:08:51

knowing the devastation of the cap

1:08:53

hit, could have done the same thing

1:08:55

with Russ right, because like in the way that

1:08:57

von Miller, if they had the power. They

1:08:59

would say bye, but they're like, we're gonna get killed

1:09:01

these because he doesn't like Russell.

1:09:03

Well, no, because they would have owed him even more

1:09:05

guaranteed money in a.

1:09:07

Couple of weeks. So that's why.

1:09:08

So they can not the case with von that contract

1:09:11

which I had one hundred and forty or one hundred

1:09:13

and twenty million.

1:09:14

Guaranteed for us.

1:09:15

No, Vonn's getting that money either

1:09:17

way, and it doesn't really help them cap space excess.

1:09:20

So they might as they still might cut him, I think, just

1:09:22

because it's not working.

1:09:23

But the off the field stuff has.

1:09:25

Also tarnished him more. So

1:09:27

there's just some layers to the Vaughan

1:09:29

thing. All right, big

1:09:31

year coming up for those Buffalo Bill.

1:09:33

Diggs is kind of a question Marion lot

1:09:35

going on? Yo? What ark big

1:09:38

year coming up?

1:09:39

Oh?

1:09:39

Yeah, about a truth serum to a father to be

1:09:42

because there is I found,

1:09:45

for all the incredible amount of excitement

1:09:47

and anticipation when

1:09:49

you're becoming a parent, there

1:09:52

is that other stuff like, oh my life is never going

1:09:54

to be the same. I'm gonna miss hanging

1:09:56

out with my boys and you know, being

1:09:58

free. You

1:10:01

steer clear of the good doctor. Yeah, we don't

1:10:03

need your wife doesn't want to hear

1:10:05

that. Eric seems relatively sunny about the whole.

1:10:07

Yeah, I'm older, I'm

1:10:10

actually I dude, I can't wait to have the Sorry

1:10:12

the babies at home, excuse to like not have to go

1:10:14

out with people?

1:10:15

A perfect

1:10:17

man.

1:10:18

Wait, you know ladies and gentlemen, the perfect man.

1:10:21

Out of applause, All

1:10:23

right, funk. Have you done any

1:10:25

behind the glass? Have you done any child

1:10:28

search on? Have

1:10:30

you done any research yet on the I am

1:10:32

afraid of no bears modification

1:10:35

to your unfortunate tattoo

1:10:37

as you everything?

1:10:39

Okay, some liquid guys,

1:10:42

my bad, Now we're good. I have not actually,

1:10:44

but I figured, okay, it won't be too hard.

1:10:46

It's a circle on the line. How about

1:10:48

what do we think is? Are we going to cover this? We'll cover

1:10:50

this well. Greg City had a lead.

1:10:52

Oh yeah, do you want to hook him up with that tattoo

1:10:55

artist area tattoo artists?

1:10:57

Yeah, that doesn't sound too expensive. I

1:10:59

don't think it would be too We'll cover it.

1:11:00

We're gonna cover it. Colleen's gonna che.

1:11:02

You're gonna do it on the show.

1:11:04

Can we get the artist in here?

1:11:05

I don't know, I'm

1:11:07

not looking at

1:11:10

I think the answer is definitely no.

1:11:12

You can't get We're.

1:11:13

Gonna have people call in, We're gonna be giving

1:11:15

away tattoos.

1:11:16

You can't be doing tattoos here.

1:11:18

That's not how it works.

1:11:19

Hey, this is Anthony from Rego Park. I don't think you

1:11:21

should touch a tattoo. It's part of his legacy

1:11:23

as a man.

1:11:24

There's health regulation and listen and

1:11:27

all sorts of stuff.

1:11:30

We'll have a person a journey.

1:11:34

Emilyler. Check her out.

1:11:35

She's great, nice plug.

1:11:37

All right? Anything else?

1:11:38

Is that?

1:11:38

Who did yours?

1:11:39

It's done a few?

1:11:40

Yeah, look that one up,

1:11:43

Emily Effler.

1:11:45

I like it. I like all right. We are back on Thursday.

1:11:48

Colleen, you've said it all.

1:11:49

I truly have today. I think so

1:11:52

today compared to any other show.

1:11:54

Is there a reason why?

1:11:55

And I don't like to do the Greg thing and look at other people's

1:11:57

laptops. But you have what looks to be an

1:12:00

aerial overhead, almost

1:12:02

like a YouTube spy plane. Look at

1:12:04

an airport or an air force base.

1:12:06

What are you doing? Get the serum back

1:12:09

in here? What is happening?

1:12:10

This is just a screen saver, Oh my god.

1:12:12

And it's actually in Belgium.

1:12:15

They're all

1:12:17

listening to us now.

1:12:18

It's a Belgian airport. Is

1:12:21

my screen saver right now? For some reason, I like

1:12:23

planes.

1:12:23

You guys know that I don't have to get see

1:12:26

IA on this one. FBI. All right,

1:12:28

we'll be back Thursday.

1:12:29

Like you said, we're gonna really

1:12:32

last look at the free agency landscape

1:12:35

before next week with Mina Kaimes.

1:12:37

Until then, thank you, Vilhelm and

1:12:40

you know what you need to do, see you doctor

1:12:42

Heed the call.

1:12:48

Ah.

1:12:48

Yes, and that's a successful

1:12:52

seer them hot.

1:12:53

Experiment M And

1:12:56

now a little taste fuzzy dottum.

1:13:00

Just shut this into my non

1:13:03

veins.

1:13:04

Oh,

1:13:07

let's tell the truth man.

1:13:12

The truth is Dan

1:13:15

Hands. This is the

1:13:18

sexiest podcast host in the world.

1:13:27

I need to work on my will
