1:17

into that football show here presented by

1:19

our friends at Holiday distillery and Ben

1:21

Holiday bottled in Bond, wherever. I'm Tucker

1:23

Franklin, as always, hanging

1:25

out with my guy, Mattie V,

1:28

Matt Verderam, hanging out here.

1:30

Matt, how are you doing? How was your week? Week's

1:34

good. Week's good. You know, getting

1:36

ready for the draft. We are eight days

1:38

and counting. I

1:41

have two mock drafts that are coming out of

1:43

the side this week, one of which is utterly

1:45

ridiculous. We're proud of the

1:47

public for not at any point

1:49

in time tweeting to me, this

1:51

is unrealistic and stupid. If you're wondering,

1:53

if you haven't seen it, I didn't

1:56

all trades mock. I I'm mocking mock

1:58

draft. I traded every single. pick. Made

2:01

it work with draft charts but traded every

2:04

pick. That went out on Tuesday. My actual

2:06

legitimate only mock you'll ever see from me

2:08

comes out on Thursday over at sii.com. So

2:10

working on those. And

2:13

then my editor had an idea where

2:15

he was like, look, there's going to be six quarterbacks Michael

2:17

on the first round. Give me who's

2:20

going to be a bust and who's going to be a star. And I

2:23

was like, that's not going

2:25

to be screen shot and thrown back on my face in five

2:27

years from now. So I kind

2:29

of middle that I need two stars to bust

2:31

into two guys and it could be like, okay.

2:34

So people can check that out at

2:37

sii.com. But I am already getting the

2:39

emails from people. You don't

2:41

understand the greatness of JJ

2:43

McCarthy. Okay. Look, man,

2:45

he might end up being great. What do you want

2:47

from me? I had to go to and to and

2:50

to here. So that was good. Played a little golf

2:52

for the first time in two years on Sunday. Wow.

2:54

But buddy of mine needed somebody to do a tournament

2:56

with him. And I

2:59

told him I really probably have a terrible idea to have

3:01

as a partner. So I haven't hit a

3:03

ball in two years. He said, no, it'll be

3:05

all right. I'll give you a handicap. Like, okay.

3:09

And I was not particularly great, but was

3:11

barren. I thought I'd be in our team

3:13

somehow came in second. So we'll take it.

3:15

We've got a big tournament coming up in three weeks. So I've

3:18

hit the range every day, man. Every

3:20

day. You're ill now. I

3:22

feel responsible. Like, yeah. It

3:25

didn't win a lot of money. So I'm like,

3:27

I'm not taking any money because I am by

3:29

no means going to be a driving force of

3:31

a victory here. I just have to not suck

3:33

enough that I'm not killing us. But

3:35

yeah, man, I'll tell you those first couple

3:37

balls you hit at two years, like, hmm,

3:40

so go rusty hinge. Not

3:43

I mean, and I was never great to begin with.

3:45

So we're working through it. But yeah, one

3:47

step at a time. How about you, man? What's going on? Not

3:50

a whole lot, really. This week was a

3:52

good one. Had a good nice chill weekend

3:54

before obviously, you know, the draft coming up

3:56

and it's, you know, kind of a quick.

4:00

I feel like this draft kind of snuck

4:02

up on me. I usually have to- I

4:04

feel a little bit quicker than the

4:07

one year that the fucking thing was

4:09

in May. Remember that? Yeah, I do remember that. I

4:11

was like, the NFL just wanted to see how many

4:13

people in our industry would quit. Let's

4:16

see how many of them will wait it out if we draft

4:18

on May 30th. Yeah,

4:21

for like a year or two in there, they pushed

4:23

it to May, which was just, thank God they didn't

4:25

do that again. Yeah, it's coming up a little quicker

4:27

than it feels like normal. I'm curious what they do

4:29

when they eventually add the 18th game to the schedule,

4:31

right? Because they're going to have to add the second

4:34

buy, so then they'll have to push the Super Bowl

4:36

back a week. So probably, I would estimate that it'd

4:38

be the first week of May, right? If you're just

4:40

going to push everything back a week. But

4:43

that'll be interesting to see how that all works out. I'm

4:45

looking at your mock drafts here with your all trades. Hey,

4:48

people might like your all trades

4:50

mock drafts for the youth fans. It's

4:52

a mental exercise, trying to trade every day. Let

4:54

me tell you. I had fun

4:56

with it. I will say this, as much

4:59

as it's meant to be ridiculous, I did try to

5:02

like, all right, this team would actually consider

5:04

moving up here because they have a lot

5:06

of picks. Or like this guy that they

5:08

would, it was actually funny. I

5:10

had the Colts move up for a receiver. I had to move

5:12

up for Marvin Harrison Jr. And then Peter Schrager and his mock

5:15

had him moving up for, I think it was like, Roman Dunge.

5:17

Yeah. See? I

5:20

got it. I make some calls too, Peter. I'm

5:23

trying to figure this out, like where is

5:25

she going? So I did

5:27

try to like be accurate in that regard, but obviously,

5:29

no, not all 32 picks are going to be traded.

5:31

That way, that's the part where I'm just making fun

5:34

of this entire process. That's too bad because that would

5:36

be a fun draft day if that did happen. I

5:38

think it would make the day a lot longer though.

5:41

Look, last year, the draft, I think

5:43

we were live for almost five hours.

5:45

Like I think that day one was

5:47

five hours long. Like, let's

5:49

get in, let's get out, let's make the picks. You know,

5:51

that's what I'm saying. You know what would make this draft

5:54

more fun? If everybody had 30 seconds

5:56

on the clock And it was

5:58

just chaos. Like. Thirty.

6:01

Seconds. Thirty second floor the site and by picks

6:03

five a good. The other charges of frantically trying

6:05

to figure out of it is up or picks

6:07

work is it? Oh noes L was you know

6:10

when when Fourth one. That. Would

6:12

be that and like the fact that you

6:14

that teams is a good at thirty seconds

6:16

to negotiate rate. yeah just mass panic constantly.

6:19

That now we're going to find out of prepared.

6:21

I target it's or moral would really come

6:24

into effect. then. Night on have ten

6:26

minutes ten is that Now it's is a great the waiting.

6:28

Yeah. Yeah, everybody's at times it back I'm

6:31

sure. what the hell. Go take a bathroom

6:33

break or get a Pepsi now. Thirty seconds.

6:36

Madison. Avenue. imagine that the footage you

6:38

get then the it yeah yeah day at

6:40

the Indiana to Cameron the corner in you

6:42

know Jerry Jones. just like wrong a table

6:44

because they panicked into the kicker. That

6:47

that's why here. for. A degree six

6:49

the draft and a good at it. I'm a

6:52

lighted all the would be done to fifty minutes

6:54

and you that it would be total panic all

6:56

sides you like how to wish they would do.

6:59

That. I'm getting delayed she's topics i was it

7:01

would go back to do in the in like

7:03

a boardroom in the mary outright but like not

7:05

broadcasted really thing into slick killer like oh yeah

7:07

i hear that sticks his disability well it's and

7:09

there's a press release for the inability go the

7:11

actually hilarious it's a doubt would be so funny

7:14

if for no other reason for his like the

7:16

draft picks in a lot of fancy discuss such

7:18

an important that. People. Be losing

7:20

their mind years what's going on, what's

7:22

happening and then like the threat and

7:24

then I thought whole thing comes out

7:26

a once built all my dog was

7:28

ugly. that's not. It was odd be

7:30

amazing nord it would be our demand

7:32

that now would be good. Ah,

7:35

I'm. Tired. As any

7:37

other, like. Think. What? I'm a

7:39

little bit older new. I remember when the

7:41

draft. Was. Like a

7:43

Saturday afternoon. Like.

7:46

Block as well as a kid net now. Nice.

7:48

I got a H and thirty five through. The

7:50

listeners out there cannot battle yet. Of.

7:53

It was the whole thing. was on a Saturday. Mean.

7:56

The whole one to seven. So. like as

7:58

a kid my dad like as much as since the

8:00

football didn't really care about the draft. So he would

8:02

do one of those people would read it like street

8:04

and smidge in the summer. We go, we got so

8:06

and so. I never knew when

8:09

it was on. I'd be flipping through the

8:11

channels and it'd be like the tenth pick of

8:13

the person. Oh my God. Y'all, it's my father.

8:15

Like, draft's on. He'd sit

8:17

down and watch the cheesepick. Oh,

8:19

great. They took Marvin Menes. Awesome.

8:22

All right. Moving forward. But

8:24

then like SportsCenter. They wouldn't even

8:26

cover it. Like here's like the 10 picks you need to

8:28

know about. Yeah, that was it. Like

8:31

you have no idea what the hell that she's still going to fifth round. Well,

8:34

so that all changed right about 20 years

8:36

ago. But yeah,

8:38

like all I remember as a kid when

8:41

the draft like the draft wasn't a thing.

8:43

The schedule release wasn't a thing. Free agency

8:45

was like a thing, but it was like

8:47

at the top of SportsCenter. Yeah.

8:49

Like try to imagine free agency without

8:51

the internet. Right.

8:54

Can you imagine it? Our jobs are a lot less

8:56

stressful. Although we also don't

8:58

have jobs when I'm making money. But like imagine

9:02

like you're sitting there. Like when Joe Montana went

9:04

to the Chiefs. Now that was a trade. It

9:06

wasn't a signing. But like you're

9:08

just, you have no updates. Nothing. There's

9:11

no Twitter. There's a, you're just

9:13

sitting there and then all of a sudden like

9:15

dude, and like, you know, like whoever comes on,

9:17

you know, rich eyes and like, oh my God,

9:20

Montana and the Chiefs, you know, oh my

9:22

God. And then there's no analysis of it.

9:24

Nothing. And we're just moving forward. Different

9:27

world, man. Much different world. It's wild.

9:29

It is crazy how far we've come

9:32

and how the NFL has made literally

9:34

every aspect about their business a

9:37

must see event. Yeah. And look,

9:39

even you're getting press conferences

9:41

to kick off phase one of the off

9:43

season, Matt. Well, that's, that's what we're at.

9:45

We're like, we got to talk to these

9:48

guys about their virtual zoom meetings that they're

9:50

having. We have to talk to Andy Reed.

9:52

We got to talk to Nick Bolden. We

9:54

got to talk to Patrick Moms.

9:56

They did say some interesting stuff, right? This is the first time

9:58

we've really heard from them since. the Super Bowl

10:00

so there are some housekeeping things to talk

10:03

about. Obviously with the

10:05

Rashid Rai situation going on I think

10:07

it was a no comment from Andy

10:09

Reid and Adriq Mahomes

10:11

pretty much like that was anticipated right

10:13

they're gonna let the legal process play

10:15

out. They really know there's been any

10:18

new anything new come out about

10:20

Rashid Rai since the last time I recorded

10:22

he's facing eight charges I

10:24

believe all of which are felonies but could get

10:26

downgraded obviously you know how it's a

10:29

legal system. Crazy Seth Kaiser did a

10:31

really good breakdown of just like the charges and

10:33

everything on the Only

10:35

We're Games podcast on Tuesday so make sure to

10:37

go listen to that if you are interested in that

10:39

legal aspect of it but I don't think there's

10:41

been any new developments Pat since we've lost off. No

10:44

there haven't been so we're in a holding pattern there and

10:46

the Chiefs as usual you know with this stuff will say

10:48

yeah you know we're gonna let it all play out and

10:50

we're not gonna write comment and you know we're gonna let

10:54

the details kind of emerge as they emerge

10:57

but I mean

10:59

right now I think the biggest thing coming out

11:01

of the Chiefs is the fact that you know

11:03

that Mahomes is OTAs or down in

11:05

Texas as they seem to always be. The Chiefs

11:08

seem to be really thrilled with it they're on

11:10

board with it and I mean what the hell

11:12

man like it is unique I

11:14

can't ever remember any other player doing something like this where

11:16

he's just like I'm at my own camp and

11:19

the themes like great that sounds awesome to

11:21

do that like

11:24

he he's uh he's running the show

11:26

and you know what he probably ought to be at this

11:28

point in his career so let him do it but yeah

11:31

you know with those pressures you're

11:34

never gonna get a lot out of Andy like in

11:36

all the years he's been in Kansas City how many

11:38

notable things has he ever said in the press conference

11:40

right it's not again he's gonna give

11:42

you a bombshell but yeah I think

11:45

with the right stuff like it's expect you

11:48

know you're not until something happens where

11:50

there's a plea deal or some charges are

11:52

dropped if that ends up being the case

11:54

or whatever you know whatever happened like You're

11:57

just not gonna hear a lot from this. I Would expect the

11:59

next thing would be something. Would be actual legal

12:01

system. And. Then. The.

12:03

Nfl taking action now nucleus of I'm Yvonne

12:05

That on for. Boy, I'm in no rush

12:07

to take action or tape. Think.

12:10

I why I'm in his those his

12:12

own reasons do anything until I saw

12:14

gasket. Yeah. And that's

12:16

kind of. I think the general consensus other

12:19

to the to sea floor I mean evidence

12:21

has been a suspension to a dump on

12:23

video Have the legal process please up obviously

12:25

down but I think I'm a we would

12:27

have said probably this time during that I

12:30

recall situation that we anticipated a suspension to

12:32

come out but I was to the legal

12:34

process did not pan out like our people

12:36

and is fitted in the month of April.

12:38

Oh in that situation kid but an integrated

12:40

zombies and sometimes mean to light. So.

12:44

By. Willie Gay vs spending for

12:46

hims writing a vacuum incident. I.

12:49

Day. Right now there are people in civilization

12:51

who were furious because they thought like a

12:53

his maybe the it again. The. At

12:55

the for now what are your teacher? I

12:57

don't have a right to be serious. Like

12:59

cultural vacuum clerical Why? like in better shape

13:01

of but like. A yeah it's weird

13:03

since I do things are expect like a medical with

13:05

a side and they knew they were going be allowed

13:07

start the bread in of quite I'll have the we

13:09

do about. Gay they were shocked by

13:11

how are you suspend that it's hiring kill thing.

13:15

I mean nobody. Thought he was zero

13:17

games, right guy. I have to remember that

13:19

was my first order reporting on stuff and

13:21

I had somebody. Is the

13:23

league office say to me. The. Night before

13:26

that get became official, he's not going to

13:28

get suspended. Our the house.

13:30

Sure you The Isaac Ninety nine percent mic

13:32

I keep tweet that occurs I I didn't

13:34

believe it or Mike There's no way he's

13:36

knocking. Spend it all. Yeah, this hits a

13:38

thought. He was. It's is bound y. El

13:40

dry me but. You. Never know, that's

13:42

the weird they were gonna. Felt like there's a. A.

13:45

Policy in place where it's like this may gain for

13:47

this and this means that. You. Saw

13:49

know or can it can be though. Games

13:51

Two Games Eight games. I mean it. I.

13:54

Think the only the I can confidently say a

13:56

lesser as soft the comes out the we are

13:58

very aware of here. It. Does.

14:01

Your wants? You got suspended alive and get. Bigger.

14:04

And. Will be the real engaged so

14:06

awesome situation that omni go ahead and

14:08

say sell lots by of standard bearer

14:10

for anything that doesn't involve like it's

14:12

like an unbelievably i can be passing

14:14

away situation. That he. And eleven

14:17

games I wonder she rises? Get? analyzing?

14:19

Ah that is area under that know what?

14:21

It's gonna be a law that private that

14:23

depends on the please. Follow. It

14:26

depends on his amount of contrition. Ah,

14:29

Stuff like that, right? I mean yeah, they'll probably

14:31

take into account that eat This is a first

14:33

time offense for him. It's not like he's got

14:35

a history of so. There's. A lot

14:37

of things to factor in here. On but.

14:41

Yeah I was a only the I'm confident

14:43

in his he won't get more than eleven

14:45

get because. That. Would seem

14:47

like a grocer situation paid based

14:49

on what up with shallot? At

14:52

it. It's unfair. Another

14:55

big thing that eighty retired. What was the

14:57

left tackle situation that's been a big town

14:59

topic. He targeted specifically to eat. On.

15:01

One you Morris and just his development

15:04

end a how he said hey look

15:06

there's gonna be competition that room. And.

15:08

Ah, they did something that I think we'll and

15:10

says but there has to be competition in that

15:12

room right now. It's don't' Have

15:15

that competition for one him worse at

15:17

exempt to God direct as the a

15:19

backup left tackle listed on our our

15:21

Lads right now on the depth chart.

15:23

These knock him the competition so and

15:25

I agree. So they're gonna need to

15:27

do something weathered, stressing attack or signing

15:29

another dead animals but still available and

15:31

our free agency love it and sign

15:34

him until after the draft so that

15:36

could be another possibility. Would a T

15:38

scale or what do you think about

15:40

the Chiefs right now deciduous that was

15:42

sacked. I. Thought that

15:44

last year they might. Take. A left

15:46

eye on the draft. Roy back.

15:49

And when they didn't, In the Navy

15:51

early signs out of In Smith I'm like okay, I make

15:53

sense. Either this is kind of

15:55

that same push pull thing near relied. On

15:58

hundred is a good tackle early. But. The

16:02

board for a certain way they don't have. You

16:04

gotta be Smith is gonna be break. Classic case

16:06

of emergency. Signing. For I

16:08

mean people. Who.

16:10

Tude of they like about diamond smith. They.

16:13

Won the Superbowl and of like they know that you're

16:15

not as uber of all right I mean. and

16:18

i feel I you feel you ever the comes

16:20

to me he was like adequate who have like

16:23

I don't think he was bad I don't think

16:25

he was great like i thought like us. On.

16:28

And with achieves. If you

16:30

keep mom's upright, you're probably pretty good shape. So.

16:34

I would prefer the draft to tackle. I

16:36

think that is. Poorly the biggest

16:39

the other team. Because

16:41

what the airport of this to? Whether.

16:44

Or not, you're bringing Smith who you are. You

16:46

draft somebody early. You. Do need is

16:48

you need a swing tax So like Morris can

16:50

play that. Role as well.

16:53

Nazis. You draft first, rather your draft.

16:55

Mack it. Dear Starting last act. Ah,

16:58

But by. Yeah but I

17:00

would expect to choose whether to early packed.

17:03

In. First two rounds or. Donovan's

17:05

met the i mean some. He's coming into that

17:07

building that they're not your camp with. This is

17:10

their office in One Desire. Is.

17:12

Do so you dig the total tackles on

17:14

the roster as a game like for with

17:16

like gum. So. On terror

17:18

of a soup skill be plan on the rights and the

17:21

can rightly other one is one of they they have. Ah

17:23

yes. The a bad as

17:25

who was it was that was Lucas

17:27

the Egg which you can you can

17:29

understand why. Forgot about lives near read

17:31

more. Now. I don't think he is

17:33

even going to have a lot, even some comfort. Thing.

17:36

That let's tackle beat number one. A mistake

17:38

if he, yes. That.

17:41

Drastic as motivated drafted as

17:43

also, but that's an. attorney

17:48

to get myself further in trouble with lucas the

17:50

eggs so i'm in a bag of that topic

17:52

very eloquently here mats and we're going to a

17:54

talk about you mentioned the yeah the off season

17:56

camp them a home so so that he talked

17:58

about other teams news Hollywood Brown one

18:01

thing that you know we see

18:03

Hollywood Brown we see the highlights we see he's

18:06

quick he's twitchy he's dynamic

18:09

but one thing that Patrick Holmes mentioned was his

18:11

route running and I think that's really interesting when

18:14

you look at the receivers the Chiefs have had

18:16

that's a few years really

18:18

they haven't really had that really good

18:21

route run that really like that specializes

18:25

in good crisp routes that could be

18:27

something that she's from racing that's one

18:29

reason that I was a fan I'm

18:31

a fan of lad mcconkey cuz lad

18:33

mcconkey very technical route runner I

18:35

think that adds a value to the to the

18:37

Chiefs something they haven't had in racing years in

18:39

their wide receiver room sounds like

18:42

I will Brown that's that too yeah

18:45

I would also to your point say no if

18:47

they've not a good route runs the last couple

18:49

years they haven't had good players actually plastic I

18:51

mean that's why I'm late like Rishi

18:54

rice and to some degree juju

18:56

but other than that it's been like eh

19:00

yeah no it yes I would agree I

19:03

would imagine that Mahomes saw Hollywood

19:05

Brown run like a

19:08

post route and probably needed five minutes

19:10

to stop weeping ears of joy as

19:13

then the next route was run by Skymore

19:16

and Skymore ran right into wall so

19:18

I like yeah I would definitely say

19:20

that's probably after here no

19:23

in the NFL I just all the time people

19:25

get so enamored with speed and like speed matters

19:27

of course look the more speed you have the

19:29

better great if you can't

19:32

run routes in the NFL doesn't matter how

19:34

fast you are right it does matter it

19:36

does not make any bit of difference like

19:39

if you can't run crisp routes

19:44

in the NFL like corners are

19:46

too good defenses are too Hollywood

19:48

Brown has always been a good route right

19:50

I mean his problem in Baltimore honestly was

19:53

he dropped the ball some and that was

19:56

an offense it wasn't gonna throw the ball a lot I

19:59

didn't a lot of times you get a

20:01

guy in for agency, I go, yeah, you know, best year

20:03

probably happened and you're getting a guy and you're hoping it's

20:05

closer to his best year. I honestly

20:07

think this could be his best year because he

20:09

has played in offenses where in Arizona, he had

20:12

no quarterback for most of the last season. The

20:15

year prior to that, he was having a good year. Murray

20:17

got hurt and he missed a little bit of time. Yep.

20:20

And in Baltimore, they never feel football. Like

20:22

this, if there's ever a year, ever a

20:25

year for Hollywood Brown where it's like, look,

20:27

man, you got everything going on.

20:29

Like you're probably not going to get doubled much. You

20:32

have the best quarterback on earth and

20:35

God knows Andy's not afraid to throw it.

20:37

So like here it comes. They

20:39

should be able to put him in a position to

20:42

succeed. But yes, I think the route running, that

20:45

was why I was happy. So they got him quite honestly.

20:47

I just feel like he'll work himself open. The

20:49

speed's great. He'll run away from some guys. That's awesome.

20:51

But like, it's the

20:54

ability to separate in your

20:56

cuts and to accelerate

20:58

out of your cuts. That is

21:00

what really is the difference maker for a

21:02

lot of guys. And I think Brown, yeah, I mean,

21:04

he showed he can run a variety of routes and

21:06

run them well. Are you comfortable

21:08

with this wide receiver room? When you start to

21:10

look at it now, if they do add a

21:12

guy, let's say a first round wide

21:14

receiver, they had a first round wide receiver, they

21:16

had Hollywood Brown to it. Do you

21:18

think they need to add somebody else? Do you

21:20

think they need to add a veteran with the

21:22

pending Rishi rice situation going on? Or do you

21:24

think that they're good with just a first or

21:26

let's say first or second round wide receiver and

21:29

Mark Eastbrough? I

21:32

am far from okay with this receiver

21:34

room because we don't know what's going

21:36

to happen with Rishi rice. Now,

21:39

I don't think that Rishi rice is a

21:42

situation to change the way they draft. I

21:44

think that would be aggressive. When

21:46

you're drafting, you're drafting thinking about a guy

21:48

for four or five years minimum. You

21:51

don't change your perception of the draft based on

21:53

some guy might make it six games or whatever

21:55

it is. I think that'd be over the top.

21:58

That being said. I

22:00

do think that if you're the chief,

22:02

you're looking at your room going, okay. And by the way,

22:04

for more than just a year, you're looking at this going, you

22:07

got Rice, they got Brown

22:09

for one year. True. Watson for

22:11

a year. Tony, I don't know

22:13

how you feel, but I am shocked he's

22:15

back. Shocked. He's got one.

22:17

Very rarely do they shock me. That shocked me.

22:21

Sky Moore, this could be his last year if

22:23

things don't work out. Who

22:26

do you have on this team that is

22:28

definitely going to be a chief past?

22:31

I can argue you don't even know if she writes

22:33

based on anything going on, but I would assume him,

22:36

other than him, who's

22:38

definitely going to be there past 2024? If

22:41

they bring back Hardman or something, that's going to be

22:43

a one year deal. One would imagine. For sure. So

22:46

like, who's going to... Dude, I

22:48

can make a strong case of this. I think I can. They

22:51

should draft two receivers early. Yeah. You

22:55

could do it. Because if

22:57

you extrapolate the sides, let's just say,

22:59

like I was doing one

23:01

of those mock draft Schmiller's here a day and I became somebody

23:03

I hate for about five minutes. I

23:05

did it for the content. So

23:07

I was like, all right, how could

23:09

this play out? And when I was doing it, I just did

23:11

three rounds. I didn't do seven because I'm not a serial killer.

23:14

All right, but I did three rounds. And

23:17

I ended up in one of them with two

23:19

receivers in the first three rounds. I had Jalen

23:21

Polk in the second round and I had Jermaine

23:23

Burton out of Alabama in the third round. Yeah.

23:27

At first, I'm like, that seems ridiculous. But I

23:29

thought about it. I'm like, those two guys, for

23:31

example, Rice, Brown, Moore,

23:34

Tony Watson, that's seven. But

23:36

Rice probably is going to start the only active roster. So

23:39

now that's six. There's your six. And then

23:42

when Rice comes back, all right, so what's your

23:44

mystery IR one of these guys, right?

23:46

You cut one of them. If

23:48

it's Tony or it's Moore,

23:50

it's Watson or whoever. Like,

23:52

yeah, I think, you know, I know some people out

23:54

there are like, what about Justin Ross? What

23:57

about Justin Ross? What about him? He

24:00

pointed Donating is a point. I'm like. What?

24:03

So. I was thinking about it on my i don't know

24:05

that they would do it. But

24:07

you could go either way past that at

24:09

least one. After. I'm.

24:12

With you in rookie as you make a really

24:14

good whoever the future ulcers right now for twenty

24:16

five that she's of twenty six players under contract

24:18

for toy to if I like your me have

24:21

a shot grass. Would. You really

24:23

do. Looking at the wide receiver room, I'm going

24:25

to take out. Luis reserve it out of the

24:27

web for the response act. As a Mrs. Wide

24:29

Receiver he's a running back. That he's A. He

24:32

doesn't account for me. Legal or me.

24:34

He'll not going to count for me on this

24:36

one. Thought I saw: looks like you're three wide

24:38

receivers that you have. Wow.

24:41

A Kiss today is Tony Sky more

24:43

30:07

at the MUJ school. A little bit

30:09

of housekeeping before we had to

30:11

move on Matt, but what I

30:14

really like about this time of year other

30:16

than you know the fact that the NFL

30:19

is trying to make an event out of everything. Yes. Uniform

30:22

leaks. You knew uniform announcement,

30:24

the uniform leaks from

30:27

the Texans CEO

30:29

owner, Cal McNair, just tweeting

30:31

out the picture of the uniform in

30:34

response to a leak. They're like, oh yeah what about

30:36

this? To the Browns doing a

30:38

full-on announcement for changing their face mask color and

30:40

the Jets actually doing something good. I think the

30:43

Jets actually did something good with

30:45

their uniform changes. There's a lot more

30:47

to come but I want to get

30:49

your thoughts on the changing landscape of

30:51

the NFL. Yeah, so my favorite thing

30:54

is Cal McNair. It was like he

30:56

was surprised that he saw the uniform

30:58

and said, oh, are these

31:00

real? Damn, you look good. Yeah,

31:05

I love it. The

31:07

Browns, not first year, I'll say this

31:09

quickly, I am a uniform geek.

31:12

I love all this type of stuff. So I'm

31:15

big into this stuff. I

31:17

love football history. So I'm big

31:20

into knowing all the different iterations of the uniform.

31:22

That being said, the Browns have

31:25

some dignity. I mean, my gut,

31:27

you have a whole video

31:30

put out because you change your face

31:32

masks from dark brown to white. Which

31:34

by the way, it's

31:37

an upgrade. I'm a fan. See,

31:40

the Browns, here's the thing with the

31:43

Browns. They've done this crap

31:45

in the past when they do some minor adjustment

31:47

to their uniform. When they teased

31:49

out this huge rebranding and then Jimmy

31:51

Haslam was like, guess what? Went

31:54

to Sherwin Williams, got the paint wheel,

31:57

went one shade brighter. Great

32:00

Thanks Jim Belushi! I.

32:03

Want to just go back? To.

32:05

What you war like when Morty shot I

32:07

was go to team you Ease. Was

32:10

wrong with that. Everybody wants to play it

32:12

to the browns. Are you about you play

32:14

That's it's two point. It's was be clean,

32:16

crisp and clean. I hated in a nice

32:19

nice nice. You know that. If

32:21

the. Memo: The had those disgrace

32:23

uniforms in Cleveland Across the front, had

32:25

browns and sort of dance number that

32:27

somehow they looked worse than they played.

32:29

Which. Is really difficult to zidane when

32:31

again. Ah, but. Are

32:34

you like twice a mass? I see guy

32:36

do yeah. Lugar the pictures now. Ah,

32:39

I do to go to I Business litter. Ah

32:41

then the the the browns it's It's

32:43

kinda crazy how much of face mask

32:45

does actually change the whole it's not

32:47

something that you'd see go directly right

32:49

right off like the to skill to

32:51

their gray face masks every once again

32:53

that's what they do the throwback game

32:55

by the since the total there for

32:57

it's mask is the gray suit with

32:59

a set of let's like seeing a

33:01

great face as hundred Z. So much

33:03

so I like. And like. You'd.

33:06

Never realized how much the face

33:08

mask does. Same. Sex and

33:10

as he did did the muttered change of animal

33:12

healing side by side pictures of it right now

33:15

with the. With. The browns a

33:17

message to the white face mask and when they're

33:19

wearing their brown jerseys the have the white numbers.

33:21

I think it really does pop off. they're pretty

33:23

well at. I have always really liked the browns

33:25

like striped that they've had on their uniform which

33:28

I think that like the striped as is is

33:30

very strong. The. Of Leah I

33:32

I was and will be funny as they

33:34

put the logo of the How It on

33:36

the side of the helmet diving dope. I.

33:38

Did a very serious as receive for like they're white helmets

33:41

rightly they went to the white numbers have the alternate want.

33:44

To. Split the picture the brown how it

33:46

or not about the orange helmet folly of

33:48

it that be egrets money I ah. The

33:51

Up: For those who were unaware, they

33:53

used to for a couple years. They.

33:55

had is a rare on city attorney said this

33:57

is just as they had numbers on their helmets

33:59

and I've always wondered if they'd go back to

34:01

that at some point. A-la

34:03

the Chargers, we've

34:06

seen do that of course. So

34:09

far no dice, which is fine by the way. I'm fine with that

34:11

either way. As far as the Jets go, the

34:13

Jets are going back to the 80s. Big

34:18

upgrade over that other crap they were wearing.

34:20

Those things were hideous. I

34:23

am fine with their Joe Namath era jerseys, or for

34:25

those of you who are unaware, like the Curtis Martin

34:27

jerseys. Those are fine, but

34:29

these are also fine. The

34:32

old 1980s, the Joe

34:34

Klechko, Ken O'Brien collection. That's

34:38

fine. I have no complaints about that.

34:40

It's a classy looking jersey. It's

34:44

crisp. It's

34:47

the first time the Jets have done anything good in about 40

34:49

years. So

34:52

it might even be longer than that. It might be about

34:54

almost 60 years now. But yes,

34:57

a rare Jets W. Very

35:00

much so, especially when

35:02

their quarterback keeps talking. But

35:04

just the cleanness of the

35:08

numbers and the stripes on the side

35:10

and everything. It's just all very clean,

35:12

all very timeless I think

35:14

is a good way to put it.

35:16

But making that Jets logo their now

35:19

their primary logo was 100% the best.

35:21

The Oval was dumb. The

35:23

Oval Jets logo was dumb. See, the

35:25

Oval doesn't bother me. I don't mind that. But

35:28

I do think that this is the better

35:30

helmet. Oh, yeah. And I be

35:32

it. Listen, anything

35:34

to distract from their quarterback. Just

35:38

like if I was a

35:40

Jets coach, I

35:42

would say owner, but I don't think Woody Johnson

35:45

gives a damn what he says there. If I

35:47

was a Jets coach or even like his teammate,

35:50

every time I heard he was going on another

35:52

podcast, oh, God, why? Why?

35:56

It's almost like he gets into these podcasts and he's

35:58

like, you know what? You thought

36:00

I said some crazy shit before? Watch

36:03

this." And it just comes

36:05

out with a take that just cinches your eyebrows

36:07

off. And then my favorite

36:09

and least favorite part simultaneously of the whole thing

36:11

is invariably somebody clips you out and puts

36:13

you on Twitter, like the craziest, like two minutes.

36:17

And there are always people in the comments who are like, this

36:20

is true! This happened! And

36:22

you're like, I'm sorry, what? You know?

36:25

Like, it's just... You

36:27

ever see the movie Independence Day? Yes,

36:29

it has. Great movie. But I was

36:31

a kid, when I was a kid, mid-90s,

36:34

late 90s, I used to sleep over at

36:36

my cousin's house like four or five times a summer. And

36:39

every single summer, we'd turn on

36:41

that movie, it didn't matter if we were eight or like 16, we

36:44

would turn that movie on and we'd watch. It

36:46

became like a tradition that every time it was

36:48

over in its house, that's it, turn

36:50

it on, Will Smith, let's go, Independence Day. There's

36:54

a scene in the movie where the

36:57

aliens have come to the Earth and

37:00

they have already created destruction

37:03

and yet all these freak shows go

37:05

to the top of a building in Los Angeles

37:08

and they're under the mothership and they're

37:10

like, oh, beam us up,

37:12

beam us up. And

37:15

that mothership just opens up and it beams

37:17

them all right, throws that beam right down,

37:20

just incinerates them in the building. And

37:24

I think about those people sometimes and I'm like, you

37:26

know what? Some of those people made it

37:28

out into the wild. Like some

37:30

of those people, I swear to God if that happened in

37:32

real life, would absolutely use the girls at the top of

37:35

that building and be like, this is

37:37

it, this gets us away from the government and

37:39

then just, no, actually as it turns out, I'm

37:42

not defending the government in a lot of cases, but

37:44

in this case, to just

37:46

go on the podcast and be

37:48

like, like my favorite part of the whole thing was I

37:50

did my own research, which has got to be at this

37:52

point, somebody's got to put that on a t-shirt, right? Like

37:55

it's got to be at this junk show, like this, this

37:57

saying of our time. Like, well,

37:59

I can read. I did my own re- okay

38:01

yes, but you're

38:04

watching someone else's research.

38:06

Like you're not conducting a

38:08

study, but the idea that

38:11

you've done the research- no you haven't!

38:13

Someone else who might be

38:16

crazy did the research and

38:18

you read it, because as

38:20

you pointed out you can read,

38:22

which congratulations, you can read, you

38:25

didn't actually do the research, you

38:27

read a bunch of other people's

38:29

research. The problem with that is

38:31

that person might be normal, that person might

38:33

be insane. So yes,

38:35

the Jets big win on the uniform,

38:38

not as big of a win when it's week five

38:40

and it's 24 to 20 with the two-minute warning and

38:42

you're in the huddle going alright Aaron, what's the play

38:44

do you like? I'll tell you what I don't like,

38:48

the government's policy on DDT in the

38:50

70s. I gotta

38:53

tell you man, we had that conversation

38:55

like what? Yeah,

38:58

being a Jets fan has got to be insanely

39:00

stressful and also at times depressed. I

39:02

can't imagine, I couldn't imagine. There's

39:05

some other teams announcing

39:08

uniforms, the Broncos are obviously gonna announce

39:10

uniforms, the Lions, they had their blue

39:12

helmet that they did last year, they're

39:15

gonna be announcing some new uniforms, Texans

39:19

as we mentioned, but there's a

39:21

lot a lot of new uniforms happening. I

39:23

think the NFL even announced that they're allowing

39:25

teams to have a third helmet, which

39:27

the Jacksonville Jaguars have said that they're

39:29

going to do their throwback uniforms, which

39:32

like I'm kind of

39:34

for like the Fred Taylor era,

39:37

heels, give me those, give

39:40

me those, I want to see those. You don't want

39:42

to go to the two-tone helmet again? God

39:44

no, is that the worst idea

39:47

that like a team has ever had for a helmet? Those

39:49

were brutal. Those

39:54

were bad, like you know what, like with

39:56

the Broncos, just go back to what

39:58

you had, Like old school. Oh

40:00

you that I got. Your to say

40:02

you're not a fan of the Broncos but like

40:04

I gotta say though, those old school helmets like

40:06

when however most is for those a sweet man

40:08

who. Knows. A cork in out and go

40:10

back to those. Are. The ones in those

40:12

crash of the broncos when they don't plane orange at

40:15

home to give your and price. That's.

40:17

Are you are our you not wearing these you're

40:19

from so I like I should go back to

40:21

those. The. Taxes. I don't give a damn

40:23

that I have a tradition to care. That to say

40:25

whenever. I'm. And.

40:28

In the lions again not the like south

40:30

and beaten syndrome your moink. Go.

40:32

Back to what you worry about our sins. right?

40:34

Those classic door that that that that that

40:36

blue helmets acting looks like shit. Though.

40:39

Door that are, you might you know. That's

40:41

the one thing. The scenes of these monochrome

40:43

uniforms it's like weren't were blue. home and

40:45

over. yoga, your pajamas. Yeah. Noom.

40:48

I gotta say even the cheese color

40:50

of reds a. Lotta

40:52

right there's water at love. The cheese. Uniforms

40:54

are really didn't like they're one of my

40:57

thought was forget the I'm so the Might

40:59

Pop are uniformly either of them. The Steelers,

41:01

The Packers. The. Raiders in Iowa thrown

41:03

out of the Cowboys something five. Months.

41:08

Now and catch a pass. At

41:10

that. I'm not a huge

41:12

fan of that trend of the that one

41:14

color. again was cool. like a Forcible Ties

41:17

and I guy discount Riddick. Yeah, I mean

41:19

I like. I guess

41:21

I like all whites like I can

41:23

get behind an all white uniform. Only

41:25

gets It's all like oh, Sick.

41:27

Louisville doesn't already to like this that it's

41:30

really prominent in college. In college the do

41:32

a lot of these uniform centers like same

41:34

killer top, same color bottom like every single

41:36

week in your side are I let's like

41:39

chill on that for a little bit. Utter

41:42

as I just can't as careful your by as

41:44

masuda organ were like that or eggshell ones that

41:47

are like speckled like I like the top the

41:49

like do you as a bottom as well as

41:51

I I want the has alot how lot of

41:53

ours are quickly here. Of all the teams in

41:55

the league who needs a redesign the most. of

41:59

your zero four Like that thing's brutal the

42:01

Seahawks like Seahawks do there. I

42:04

I don't like the neon Green

42:06

color there. No, I think they'd have to probably

42:08

change their logo colors, too But like I do

42:11

think that they need they I can't

42:13

have the knee Oh, this isn't 2008 anymore like

42:15

we can't have any on color and also like

42:17

Seahawks had great uniforms Yes, little throwbacks the whole

42:19

of us is there were this year are so

42:21

good They should be nice for what a god

42:23

the nineties is where we hit the mark Yeah,

42:25

you know, I think these aesthetic was awesome. And

42:27

then we were like, let's just veer off that

42:29

no not I Will

42:32

say I'm gonna be two teams it to me like it

42:34

is the easiest no-brainer in the world I snuck up what

42:36

we're doing the Patriots. Mmm.

42:39

My god, man. Just go back to

42:41

Pat Patriot Yeah, how hard is

42:44

your logo? Yeah, like my cat like what

42:46

you wouldn't think it is like a patriot

42:48

looking borderline drunk hiking A football ball, like

42:50

somehow it worked and then also a

42:52

logo that also kind of looks drunk the

42:54

Buccaneers Go back

42:57

to the creamscales. Just just

42:59

to be fair to be clear I

43:01

don't dislike the bucks uniform, but they're

43:03

fine. Yeah, but the creamsicles That

43:06

that was a whole nother whole

43:08

nother level the last one I'll give quickly. Although

43:10

again, I don't dislike these I just need to

43:12

give me better the Eagles go back to

43:14

your killing Yeah, I tell

43:16

you intersect those are so so perfect

43:19

like Very rarely

43:21

do teams redesign the uniforms like to something

43:23

they've never done before not the Jets were

43:25

going back to something like Like

43:28

redesign and me like yeah, that's

43:30

better. Like the Bengals to be fair. I think theirs

43:32

are better than what they were Yeah, they did

43:35

a nice job. The Chargers kind of went back to

43:37

what they were in the 60s But like fair I

43:39

think they're very nice. Yeah, but

43:41

you know you get these teams You know, like let's

43:43

do let's do pants that the stripes not halfway that

43:45

like no. No. No, she's a high school Come

43:48

on now. I If

43:52

the Chiefs ever change your uniforms Well,

43:55

I don't think that would be like over Clark

43:57

Hunt's dead Body. I Don't Think Clark. Look

44:00

and I don't want to choose News

44:02

dirty Reform Jews all didn't like old

44:04

block. Not please. They. Have.

44:07

Perfect. Uniforms. Leave.

44:09

It alone are all I would say. I'm with

44:12

you with a wide set a goal. Go Marty

44:14

Spike Old school. The white are widen the rote

44:16

learning. Yeah. That's the red pants,

44:18

but like. Even. That's fine,

44:21

But. Their home uniform toilet I sue

44:23

formal sports. Are. They

44:25

better not. I'd screw with it. changes, I'd

44:27

I'd lose my mind. I

44:29

wouldn't be opposed them exploring a white altered

44:32

annulment. I.

44:34

Would be, but I was be a, but I

44:37

would I will say this of all the colors

44:39

you can at that say to me I would

44:41

at least be curious to. Present.

44:44

In hundred as he like. if it's if it's

44:46

a white helmet. But. You don't have

44:48

the air of this is gonna get. This is

44:50

doing a blast Monsieur little bit mad stick with me.

44:52

you take away the era had allied and but just

44:54

do the Big Casey on the side of it. I

44:57

think we could cooks. Again

44:59

I do I to see a play

45:01

day right now. My immediate reaction is

45:03

to be a ripple. Fine I that

45:06

set up Isis I'll get a good

45:08

teams bastard Eyes are you have this

45:10

incredible? I like the bears where he

45:12

knows like pumpkin helmets other I hated

45:14

they were them with their always tops

45:16

like I do the Chicago Bears. what

45:18

are we had? Have some self respect.

45:21

Have some self respect, I

45:24

insist. My. God you're not

45:26

the Texans auto give a damn it were

45:28

how your one who that you've been around

45:30

for our i give us a mask but

45:32

like the Chicago Bears, the Green Bay Packers,

45:35

Yeah. He seems that have been around at

45:37

this point the sixty plus years of all

45:39

the originally flt like the bills by the

45:41

way not bad you have weren't very sweaty

45:43

imagination by near fort know back at a

45:46

standing buffalo like adults. You.

45:48

Know maybe to do that the Tic Go

45:50

site I don't know but is it ok

45:52

to bid? Standing bell needs to be nice

45:54

to be brawl but. I.

45:56

like the red how was a bad the

45:58

jim kelly earth elements The Philos have

46:00

largely dressed well except for that era where they

46:03

had like Drew Blutzel as their quarterback. Yeah. And

46:05

they had more piping on a uniform than anyone I've

46:08

ever seen in my life. Yes. The obvious fucking things

46:10

of all time. Yeah, but other than that, like

46:13

normally pretty well-dressed. Who

46:16

would have known we would have gotten that much of

46:18

a run out of uniform

46:20

talk? The people, oh by the way,

46:23

one last team, every time

46:25

I see them I'm just, I'm aesthetically enraged,

46:27

the Falcons. Their

46:29

gradient jersey is not good. Dude, why do I

46:31

keep trying to do gradient? Red helmets. Oh my

46:33

god. We're red helmets. Red, you

46:36

know what's going to be the most hilarious aesthetic of the

46:38

year? Is Kirk Cousins in a

46:40

gradient uniform with the ATL on the front?

46:43

I mean, this

46:46

is the most like out of place situation

46:49

possible. That's literally it.

46:52

Why do you keep trying to force gradients in

46:54

sports? It's terrible. It's terrible. Just

46:56

go back. To the classic black uniform

46:59

jersey and go back to the red helmet.

47:01

By the way, early on in their history,

47:03

they actually have like a gold stripe on

47:05

it with classy as hell. Like, do

47:07

that. Just like, why do we

47:09

have to reinvent the wheel? Eat that. By the way, if

47:11

you're Arthur Blank, you know how much merchandise you're going to

47:13

sell if you do that? Yeah. Just do

47:15

that. Do that. Like, this isn't

47:18

that difficult. That'd be really

47:20

good looks. Oh yeah, I'm looking at

47:22

that Falcon somewhere right now. Classy as

47:24

hell? Oh, it looks good. It's great.

47:26

Meanwhile, we got to look at just

47:28

the worst uniform alta. Just all black,

47:30

the gradient, ATL, and the front. As

47:32

if I don't know that you play in

47:35

Atlanta. You know?

47:37

Like, that's like if Kansas City put like 816

47:39

on the front of the uniform. Yeah, no, I'm aware. Thank you.

47:42

I'm aware of the day of 816. Nice. Appreciate

47:44

it. Speaking of Atlanta, they

47:46

were involved in a big story that came

47:48

out on Tuesday, Wednesday,

47:50

I forgot already, Wednesday morning.

47:54

About Bill Belichick.

47:57

This was reported by Don

47:59

Veneta Jr. Jr. and Seth

48:01

Wickersham, Jeremy Fowler, voted off

48:03

the island inside Bill Belichick's failed

48:05

job hunt. It details how Bill

48:08

Belichick didn't get a job this time around. It

48:11

sounds like maybe one of the guys closest

48:13

to him might have been responsible for that.

48:17

Very interesting story. Matt, thoughts on

48:19

immediately when you saw this come

48:21

out on Wednesday morning? I

48:26

thought about Bill waking up and

48:29

just getting his morning coffee and then just

48:31

seeing this all-you-can-eat character assassination. I

48:34

mean, I'm

48:36

not surprised. Honestly,

48:38

Bill's probably not the easiest guy in

48:40

the world to work with. Then

48:43

again, neither was Michael Jordan. So take that for what

48:45

it's there. I mean, I'm

48:48

not surprised. Most of you are the Falcons. I don't

48:50

know. He's 72 years old. I

48:52

get it. There's more to just considering who your

48:55

head coach is going to be than like, how good of a coach

48:57

is this guy? Okay, but is he going to coach this 80? How

49:00

long is he going to be on the sideline for? If

49:03

Andy Reid coaches three more years in Kansas

49:06

City and then walks away, is it

49:08

a team to be banging down his door when he's 70?

49:12

I don't know. It's tough. You've got to be

49:15

able to sell that. Now, it did say in

49:17

that piece as well that Bill's basically

49:19

circling the entire NFC East, waiting

49:22

for somebody to fail. And

49:24

then he's ready to jump in. I would pay

49:26

good money to see Mike McCarthy

49:28

and the Cowboys start out like one and

49:30

two. And Jerry do

49:32

one of his post-game pressers. He's

49:35

like, I'll tell

49:37

you, we've got to figure this out. We've got to

49:39

get right. I was talking to Bill Belichick the other

49:41

day. And things just, he's got some thoughts

49:44

on how to fix this. And they just leave it

49:46

at that. And they leave

49:48

it hanging for week four, like a Monday night

49:50

or against the Eagles. I

49:53

don't know. I'm not surprised by it. I don't

49:55

know. I'm not surprised. I also think that

49:57

Belichick wants to coach again. I think he's going to, I think he

49:59

will. to do the well but I think it's gonna be with

50:01

a team that like you're ready made to

50:03

win a title and you got like three years to do

50:05

it. Yeah it's

50:07

gonna have to be something like that like kind

50:10

of the situation that Tom Brady went into in

50:12

Tampa Bay uh where the roster

50:14

was pretty much already set to

50:16

win a Super Bowl and they just needed the

50:18

quarterback at one of the 30 interceptions. Is why

50:20

I'm sure Belichick wants to do this. Like

50:23

yes. What I like to do also

50:25

win a Super Bowl without the other

50:27

guy. Like there's there's

50:29

he would never admit that but like it's out 100%.

50:34

I didn't mean to have James Slender. I'm the biggest

50:36

James Slender fan I know but uh I just I

50:38

don't think he's terrible. That's fine um

50:40

but I just can't have James Slender coming out

50:43

of my mouth because I like him. How do

50:45

you listen to A to W? I

50:47

think that's hilarious but here's the thing here's

50:50

the thing with James Winston his

50:52

college career happened at a time where

50:54

I was just at a very impressionable

50:56

youth so I thought James was was

50:59

untouchable. I know that you know he had

51:01

done some things like stealing crab legs and

51:03

stuff like that. Um I think

51:05

that like and listen if

51:08

you talk to anybody I haven't like actually talked

51:10

to anybody about like how he's played with

51:12

but like every time there's like someone

51:14

who played with James Winston on a podcast they talk about

51:16

how great of a guy like how great of like a

51:18

locker room guy he is and I think that just makes

51:20

me love him I don't know I

51:22

just think I like him more as a person

51:24

and as just like a character that I do

51:26

as a quarterback but he

51:29

is hilarious he's so funny um I

51:31

know he's like the perfect back of

51:33

quarterback he's meme-able his workouts

51:35

in the offseason are just obnoxiously

51:37

hilarious as well um

51:40

and he's like this is not a real person

51:42

like this is not an actual fact of quarterback

51:44

in there's no way for

51:47

5 000 yards on there yes

51:50

and like a ton of touchdowns too

51:52

did 5050 is that he did

51:54

no he didn't do no no no it was like 5

51:57

000 yards but then also like 34 touchdowns like

51:59

30 picks. He was

52:01

30-30. That's what it was. He's the

52:03

equivalent of like the guy in baseball who

52:06

gets 190 with 47 home runs. And

52:09

it's just like anything is possible here. Anything

52:12

is possible. It's

52:14

incredible. I didn't know that talking about Bill Belichick

52:16

was going to create a James Winston conversation, but

52:18

here we are. Here we are.

52:20

Look, I do think Bill Belichick does coach again. I like

52:23

what you said. I do think that there are like, I

52:25

think probably just needed, and

52:27

I think Mike Freiburg coaches are getting into, like

52:29

I think that these guys just needed like a

52:33

time away. Like they

52:35

just needed, so people

52:38

got the bad taste out of their mouth pretty much

52:40

essentially. People will forget

52:42

about that when next year when the Falcons

52:45

go, I don't even

52:47

know, when they go below

52:49

500. Yeah, there you go. People

52:53

will be like, well, let's hire Bill Belichick. Like they'll

52:55

move on so fast. These people will move on

52:57

so fast. Steelers

53:00

could come knocking, you know, they never know what they're going to do

53:02

with Mike Tom. And they'll end up being

53:04

night at eight. They'll like, they'll sneak into the playoffs because that's just

53:06

what my Tom is. You

53:09

never know. You never know what job is

53:11

going to come open. And I think people will very quickly

53:13

move on from the past that Bill

53:16

Belichick has, past couple of years that

53:18

Bill Belichick has had and knowing he'll

53:20

be fine. Yeah, I

53:22

agree. I'm probably, I'm waiting. I'm waiting. All

53:25

right. Well, that's going to do it for this
