WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.580
Hey, guess what? You just landed on the sports

00:00:03.580 --> 00:00:13.000
bastards. Sorry about your luck. Sports bastards.

00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:15.560
Two douchebags with a microphone invade your

00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:19.320
ear holes in. Hey, who took a dump in the cooler?

00:00:20.300 --> 00:00:22.300
And see what kind of response we're getting.

00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:24.480
I can turn the gain up just a hair. All righty.

00:00:24.500 --> 00:00:28.300
Are we recording yet? Yeah. Okay, this is the

00:00:28.300 --> 00:00:31.679
sports bastards. Hi, everyone. Hi. It's been

00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:33.880
a couple of weeks, but we had a series of events.

00:00:34.979 --> 00:00:37.320
Topher had a huge migraine the first week. Oh,

00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:39.939
yeah. Second week, I had a separated shoulder

00:00:39.939 --> 00:00:43.390
on St. Patty's Day. Not a lot of fun. And I know

00:00:43.390 --> 00:00:45.649
your migraines are not a lot of fun. No, no.

00:00:45.850 --> 00:00:48.429
Yeah, you look like fried shit, no offense. Yeah,

00:00:48.429 --> 00:00:51.250
I usually do. Oh my God, he'd come out of the

00:00:51.250 --> 00:00:53.369
house sweating, look like fried shit, and I'm

00:00:53.369 --> 00:00:56.450
like... You're thinking, don't get in my car.

00:00:56.710 --> 00:00:59.109
Yes, yes, but then when he said it was a migraine,

00:00:59.149 --> 00:01:02.409
I'm like, oh, okay. Yeah. And then I said I was

00:01:02.409 --> 00:01:03.890
throwing up, and you're like, yeah, don't get

00:01:03.890 --> 00:01:10.390
in my car. Yeah. Yeah, so that's what happened.

00:01:10.450 --> 00:01:14.549
My separated shoulder, I couldn't even really

00:01:14.549 --> 00:01:16.810
get to you until I started feeling better. I

00:01:16.810 --> 00:01:19.209
mean, I was just fucking on. And I'm pretty sure

00:01:19.209 --> 00:01:22.170
Cindy told you anyhow, didn't she? Yeah. I was

00:01:22.170 --> 00:01:25.590
all percoceted up. All bad, yeah. My mom dislocated

00:01:25.590 --> 00:01:29.290
her shoulder once after a ski trip. She did fine

00:01:29.290 --> 00:01:31.250
on the slopes, and then when she was walking

00:01:31.250 --> 00:01:33.590
to her car, she slipped on ice and dislocated

00:01:33.590 --> 00:01:37.890
her shoulder. Sounds like something I'd do. I'd

00:01:37.890 --> 00:01:40.510
be like, oh, oh, did you have a mishap on the

00:01:40.510 --> 00:01:43.409
slope? That's probably what you told everyone.

00:01:43.829 --> 00:01:45.670
Yeah, yeah, I would have. I'd be like, yeah,

00:01:45.790 --> 00:01:48.769
I went down the... The black diamond slope. Yeah,

00:01:48.790 --> 00:01:51.909
yeah, I went down the pro one. I did really good,

00:01:51.969 --> 00:01:54.150
but this guy swoped in front of me, and I had

00:01:54.150 --> 00:01:56.819
to get out of his way. By that time, everyone

00:01:56.819 --> 00:01:59.400
knew I was lying. Okay, Mark, what really happened?

00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:04.579
Separated or dislocated shoulders, those hurt

00:02:04.579 --> 00:02:07.079
like hell. Yes, they do. Just hurt like hell.

00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:08.840
You know they have to put you out for like five

00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:11.539
minutes to do it, to put it back in. And it's

00:02:11.539 --> 00:02:13.840
funny because this happened to me last time,

00:02:13.860 --> 00:02:16.759
too. I have like a tolerance. They probably think

00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:22.850
I'm a drug addict. I have a tolerance to... The

00:02:22.850 --> 00:02:25.150
propethol or whatever they use. Oh, yeah. Or

00:02:25.150 --> 00:02:29.030
fentanyl or whatever it is. Whatever they use,

00:02:29.110 --> 00:02:31.270
I have a tolerance to, and they have to up it

00:02:31.270 --> 00:02:33.590
and up it and up it. I'm usually that way at

00:02:33.590 --> 00:02:36.210
the dentist. Yeah, I'm at the dentist like that,

00:02:36.289 --> 00:02:37.750
too. It's like sticking me three or four times.

00:02:37.770 --> 00:02:39.449
You're still not numb? And then he comes and

00:02:39.449 --> 00:02:41.669
he starts working. He's like, ah, I felt that.

00:02:41.849 --> 00:02:44.990
I felt that. Because they were sure. Yeah. Oh,

00:02:45.150 --> 00:02:47.210
no, this is to an elephant. And then you're like,

00:02:47.229 --> 00:02:50.360
well. It didn't do it for me, so keep it going.

00:02:50.500 --> 00:02:53.520
Keep the juice coming. So, hey, I guess I keep

00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:56.020
talking, but I don't remember it. And they're

00:02:56.020 --> 00:02:57.580
like, I was blabbering about the weather and

00:02:57.580 --> 00:02:59.099
shit, and they're all like, look, they're looking

00:02:59.099 --> 00:03:02.020
at Val going, how much is this going to take?

00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:05.659
It's always like this. Always like this. I'm

00:03:05.659 --> 00:03:07.460
like, yeah, I hear we're going to have a good

00:03:07.460 --> 00:03:11.699
stretch of weather coming up. I was out, but

00:03:11.699 --> 00:03:14.099
I kept talking. Yeah, I do that too, I think.

00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:16.840
I've been told later I've said some weird things

00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:18.639
under anesthesia. Yeah, wouldn't that be funny

00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:22.280
if you said all this shit that wasn't true? Like,

00:03:22.300 --> 00:03:27.560
I killed three people. I like to wear dresses.

00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:32.280
You know, just all this shit. Here's what really

00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:38.699
happened in November of 63 in Dallas. Yeah, aren't

00:03:38.699 --> 00:03:42.560
we due a report on that? Some more information

00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.139
has come out that declassified a bunch of stuff

00:03:45.139 --> 00:03:49.539
and shown that the CIA are, of course, liars.

00:03:49.539 --> 00:03:52.060
We knew the CIA were liars, but they've been

00:03:52.060 --> 00:03:54.740
lying for decades about Lee Harvey Oswald that

00:03:54.740 --> 00:03:56.939
they had no clue, wasn't on their radar. Yeah,

00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:58.340
they were following him for a long time. They

00:03:58.340 --> 00:04:00.000
were following him for a long time. And they

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:01.979
knew everything. They just weren't sharing that

00:04:01.979 --> 00:04:04.060
information with anybody. People are going to

00:04:04.060 --> 00:04:06.939
firebomb the perch now. Yeah, did you know the...

00:04:10.290 --> 00:04:13.750
The CIA did not even inform the Secret Service

00:04:13.750 --> 00:04:17.149
that Oswald wanted to kill the president and

00:04:17.149 --> 00:04:19.449
that he was in Dallas that day. Yes. They didn't

00:04:19.449 --> 00:04:23.649
tell the Secret Service. Yes. Make of that what

00:04:23.649 --> 00:04:28.050
you will. And also there's rumors that Kennedy

00:04:28.050 --> 00:04:31.529
knew it. He knew he was a dead man walking. Yeah,

00:04:31.529 --> 00:04:33.949
at the very least he knew that there were a lot

00:04:33.949 --> 00:04:36.110
of death threats and it was possible he could

00:04:36.110 --> 00:04:38.209
get assassinated. And he knew it was possible

00:04:38.209 --> 00:04:40.430
by his own people he could get assassinated.

00:04:40.649 --> 00:04:44.649
Yeah. Yeah, so what do you do when you know you're

00:04:44.649 --> 00:04:46.829
a dead man walking? You have orgies and do cocaine.

00:04:47.069 --> 00:04:49.649
Yeah. Well, no different than anybody else. Yeah,

00:04:49.790 --> 00:04:53.470
or fly to Greece and get Greek citizenship. Tom

00:04:53.470 --> 00:05:00.329
Hanks. Forrest Gump would do that? Well, I don't

00:05:00.329 --> 00:05:04.829
know. Let's see. He was redacted off the list,

00:05:04.870 --> 00:05:06.990
supposedly. I mean, all this is allegedly. We

00:05:06.990 --> 00:05:11.230
don't know. Well, he did have a page up on Instagram,

00:05:11.250 --> 00:05:15.170
and over 30 ,000 people logged onto his page

00:05:15.170 --> 00:05:18.170
to call him a pedophile. And he had to take his

00:05:18.170 --> 00:05:23.350
page down. Well, I'm Tom Hanks. That cannot happen

00:05:23.350 --> 00:05:26.170
to me. Someone go kill those people right now.

00:05:26.209 --> 00:05:28.629
I've spent way too much money on PR convincing

00:05:28.629 --> 00:05:31.069
everyone I'm a nice guy. I want my money back

00:05:31.069 --> 00:05:36.009
from my PR people. This is bullshit. Yeah. Look,

00:05:36.189 --> 00:05:39.209
I mean, someone that would scrub that Buffy and

00:05:39.209 --> 00:05:43.410
whatever, bosom buddies, from their list of...

00:05:45.370 --> 00:05:46.970
TV that they've done, shows that they've done.

00:05:46.970 --> 00:05:48.870
He wants to pretend he's never did that and it

00:05:48.870 --> 00:05:50.230
doesn't exist. Yeah, because he had to wear a

00:05:50.230 --> 00:05:53.470
dress and act like a woman. It's called Bosom

00:05:53.470 --> 00:05:55.769
Buddies and it was in the 70s or early 80s. It

00:05:55.769 --> 00:05:58.170
was early 80s. Two guys who couldn't get an apartment

00:05:58.170 --> 00:06:00.610
anywhere else. So they find a building that only

00:06:00.610 --> 00:06:03.910
rents to women. So they pretend to be women so

00:06:03.910 --> 00:06:05.689
they can live there. I think that's a hate crime.

00:06:06.310 --> 00:06:11.329
It's absolutely inappropriate. Yeah. You know,

00:06:11.470 --> 00:06:15.009
whoever did that, we need to firebomb them. Yeah.

00:06:15.050 --> 00:06:17.050
Yeah, find out who did that. Allegedly joking.

00:06:17.069 --> 00:06:20.470
I don't see any difference in that as opposed

00:06:20.470 --> 00:06:24.029
to a show about white guys going in blackface

00:06:24.029 --> 00:06:26.310
to get into a historically black college. Oh,

00:06:26.310 --> 00:06:28.790
hang on, hang on, hang on. I don't see any difference

00:06:28.790 --> 00:06:31.189
between that and Buzz and Buddies. I really don't.

00:06:31.189 --> 00:06:36.439
Nope. It's just how we, the feeling of the country

00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:41.500
at the time, or whatever, whoever has profited

00:06:41.500 --> 00:06:43.939
anything, really. Anyone that could find money

00:06:43.939 --> 00:06:46.339
somewhere, that's what they're pushing. I just

00:06:46.339 --> 00:06:48.600
think it's interesting that you look at the cartoons

00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:52.079
of the 30s and 40s, and what you see a lot of

00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:56.540
in those cartoons are cross -dressing and blackface.

00:06:56.759 --> 00:07:00.420
Yeah. And now cross -dressing is still considered

00:07:00.420 --> 00:07:03.699
funny, but we wised up about blackface. Yeah,

00:07:03.740 --> 00:07:06.360
yeah, yeah. And that's a good way of putting

00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:09.220
it, too, because we don't support it. We're pointing

00:07:09.220 --> 00:07:13.899
it out. Yeah. And a lot of times shows, cartoons

00:07:13.899 --> 00:07:16.839
of that era will have a disclaimer. About the

00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:20.079
ethnic stereotypes, but not about the gay stereotypes

00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:22.680
or the cross -dressing stereotypes. Until like

00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:25.300
five years ago, maybe 2020. Yeah. They used to

00:07:25.300 --> 00:07:28.579
have the large black woman beating Tom with a

00:07:28.579 --> 00:07:32.920
broom. Yes. And the voice was so stereotypical.

00:07:32.939 --> 00:07:37.100
Uh -huh. You know, I'm not even going to portray

00:07:37.100 --> 00:07:40.579
it at all. It was the, I think in the 40s and

00:07:40.579 --> 00:07:43.439
50s, it became really popular on television to

00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.620
have the quote -unquote black mammy type who

00:07:46.620 --> 00:07:51.300
was overweight, single, snarky, and had a sarcastic

00:07:51.300 --> 00:07:53.420
attitude, but everyone treated her like she was

00:07:53.420 --> 00:07:56.180
totally lovable. And if you'll notice... Everyone

00:07:56.180 --> 00:07:59.660
treated that woman like a pet, not a human, a

00:07:59.660 --> 00:08:01.980
pet. I would agree 100 % because I remember as

00:08:01.980 --> 00:08:04.540
a child thinking, why are they doing that? She's

00:08:04.540 --> 00:08:06.839
obviously got to be bothered by it. How about

00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:09.120
treat them like a human being, which they are.

00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.439
Yeah, the shows of the 50s. All those happy,

00:08:13.620 --> 00:08:17.779
fun sitcoms from the 50s and 60s. You can understand

00:08:17.779 --> 00:08:19.860
why people of color look at those and go, yeah,

00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:22.079
that wasn't a fun time for us, man. Yeah, yeah.

00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:25.040
And let me tell you another thing is the person

00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:28.560
that doesn't realize that it's happening is the

00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.300
problem. They're like, well, I don't know. It

00:08:31.300 --> 00:08:33.559
looks just like a regular to me. Well, okay.

00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:36.799
How about if you were them? But you know what?

00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:39.840
This is a sports program. Oh, yeah, that's right.

00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.120
Okay. I'm going to go through a few signings

00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:45.659
here. Yeah, let me see if I got them too. Oh,

00:08:45.659 --> 00:08:48.679
you got some too. The number one one I want to

00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:51.919
go into is Nick Bolton. Yeah. I love it because

00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:54.379
the media had him in Denver uniform. Yeah, they

00:08:54.379 --> 00:08:55.940
really did. They had him in a Broncos uniform.

00:08:56.059 --> 00:08:58.379
They could not wait for him to go there. It's

00:08:58.379 --> 00:09:00.240
kind of comforting to know that the media gets

00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:02.820
it wrong. It is. They don't always know what's

00:09:02.820 --> 00:09:05.980
going on. We traded Joe Tooney to get this extra

00:09:05.980 --> 00:09:08.940
money on the cap. And it sucked because Tooney

00:09:08.940 --> 00:09:11.399
is such a good player. I mean, how many Super

00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:14.019
Bowls does that guy have? Fucking 30? I don't

00:09:14.019 --> 00:09:18.179
know. He has a lot. He should be first ballot

00:09:18.179 --> 00:09:21.879
hall of famer. I would say, yeah. It sucks that

00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:24.679
we had to let him go. Chicago wanted him. Understandably,

00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.000
they need someone reliable to protect Caleb Williams,

00:09:28.179 --> 00:09:30.379
their investment. Yeah. And, you know, I like

00:09:30.379 --> 00:09:33.980
Caleb Williams as a player so much that I'm glad

00:09:33.980 --> 00:09:35.740
that he's got someone to help protect him. Because

00:09:35.740 --> 00:09:37.820
I want him to succeed. I think he's going to

00:09:37.820 --> 00:09:39.940
be so fun to watch. Yeah, the biggest problem

00:09:39.940 --> 00:09:42.220
is Caleb Williams would not take chances, which

00:09:42.220 --> 00:09:45.059
was a smart thing to do. Yeah. Because he was

00:09:45.059 --> 00:09:47.419
not getting protection. Yeah. So he wasn't throwing

00:09:47.419 --> 00:09:49.929
a lot of yards. He was just getting rid of the

00:09:49.929 --> 00:09:51.610
ball because he didn't want to get murdered,

00:09:51.750 --> 00:09:54.309
and he did get murdered a lot. And if Chicago's

00:09:54.309 --> 00:09:56.429
management is smart enough to realize that, then

00:09:56.429 --> 00:09:58.850
they're taking the right steps. We hope so, but,

00:09:58.909 --> 00:10:02.269
you know, it is Chicago. Please, Chicago, do

00:10:02.269 --> 00:10:04.549
not give up on Caleb Williams, or if you do,

00:10:04.669 --> 00:10:06.629
trade him somewhere where he's got a chance to

00:10:06.629 --> 00:10:08.529
develop into the quarterback that we all want

00:10:08.529 --> 00:10:10.789
to watch. I'm still with your rule. I'm still

00:10:10.789 --> 00:10:13.690
with your new rule that you want to do. If you're

00:10:13.690 --> 00:10:17.149
a known quarterback killer, you don't get first

00:10:17.149 --> 00:10:19.919
pick quarterback. You have to go for somebody

00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:21.419
else. It's like, wait a minute, until you can

00:10:21.419 --> 00:10:23.620
prove you can nurture and bring a quarterback

00:10:23.620 --> 00:10:25.779
up, we're not going to let you ruin their career.

00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:29.559
Yeah, yeah. I mean, Mahomes, if he went to Chicago,

00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:31.399
I don't know if he would have done that good

00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:36.039
either. No. He had nobody to throw to. No. Think

00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:39.740
of the first part of last season. Oh, gosh. Yeah,

00:10:39.820 --> 00:10:42.580
I mean, he looked horrendous. Yeah, and Chicago's,

00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:45.200
I don't know what about the organization, but

00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:48.120
there seems to be some give up. in that organization

00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:50.779
somewhere. It's a mindset. When things get to

00:10:50.779 --> 00:10:52.700
the point where, you know, it's going to be a

00:10:52.700 --> 00:10:54.720
really hard struggle even to make the playoffs,

00:10:54.940 --> 00:10:58.759
they just give up. Playoffs. Yeah. And, okay,

00:10:59.019 --> 00:11:01.940
they need to have the makeover, like you were

00:11:01.940 --> 00:11:04.879
talking about, like DeBarlo did over in the 49ers.

00:11:04.940 --> 00:11:07.279
Yeah. He came in and said, no, everything's first

00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:09.580
class from now on. Yeah. And because that's what

00:11:09.580 --> 00:11:13.139
we are. And then he hired Bill Walsh, and I forgot

00:11:13.139 --> 00:11:16.259
the – I forgot the manager's name. Yeah, the

00:11:16.259 --> 00:11:21.779
general manager. Anyhow, all of them, you know,

00:11:21.779 --> 00:11:24.379
he went out and just cleaned the house. Yep.

00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:27.080
And he started over. And then, I mean, the rest

00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:29.399
is history. I mean, between Montana and Young

00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:32.980
and Rice and all those guys. And it didn't last,

00:11:33.220 --> 00:11:35.940
but it was worth it for the time it did. Yeah,

00:11:35.940 --> 00:11:41.600
yeah, it was. So, Nick Bolton. Great idea. I'm

00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:43.399
glad they figured it out. And, you know, I noticed

00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:45.500
last year Nick is getting a lot better at the

00:11:45.500 --> 00:11:47.860
pass garbage. Yes, he is. Which was the knock

00:11:47.860 --> 00:11:50.580
on him up until recently. But he's getting better.

00:11:50.779 --> 00:11:53.500
The Chiefs are such a smart organization. They're

00:11:53.500 --> 00:11:55.220
like, we're not going to train this guy and someone

00:11:55.220 --> 00:11:57.779
use him against us. We're getting him back. Yeah.

00:11:57.820 --> 00:12:00.080
And they did all the training. They put up with

00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.200
all the miscues. And Nick Bolton is one of the

00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:05.360
best linebackers. He might be a Hall of Famer,

00:12:05.379 --> 00:12:07.549
actually. And he's young. And he's young. He's

00:12:07.549 --> 00:12:09.169
so young. That's so awesome that he's young.

00:12:09.210 --> 00:12:12.149
But now he does pass coverage, too. Yeah. So

00:12:12.149 --> 00:12:14.929
you can put him in any package you want, and

00:12:14.929 --> 00:12:17.710
he's going to be reliable. That is such an advantage,

00:12:17.710 --> 00:12:19.789
too. And he's a decent blocker. Yeah. So whatever

00:12:19.789 --> 00:12:22.909
you need him for, he's there. Yep. He helped

00:12:22.909 --> 00:12:25.350
us win a lot of games over the years. And if

00:12:25.350 --> 00:12:27.289
you don't believe me, then just look up the highlights

00:12:27.289 --> 00:12:29.649
of the big plays that he's done. Oh, yeah. The

00:12:29.649 --> 00:12:31.730
stuff that he stopped in the middle. The stuff

00:12:31.730 --> 00:12:35.409
that he's figured out. Like the... Like the fake

00:12:35.409 --> 00:12:38.549
punt. He's the one that yelled at everybody.

00:12:38.850 --> 00:12:41.250
It was a playoff game. Yeah, I'm trying to remember

00:12:41.250 --> 00:12:45.570
that. But, yeah, he was out there telling everybody.

00:12:45.629 --> 00:12:47.509
Yeah, he was screaming, this is a fake. I've

00:12:47.509 --> 00:12:50.210
seen this. This is a fake. And about that time,

00:12:50.230 --> 00:12:51.409
they already kicked the ball, and they're all

00:12:51.409 --> 00:12:55.450
like, oh, shit, they know. No one was smart enough

00:12:55.450 --> 00:12:57.830
on the sideline to call a timeout. They did it

00:12:57.830 --> 00:13:01.509
anyhow. So, anyhow. He's done a lot of stuff

00:13:01.509 --> 00:13:04.389
like that. He's instrumental in the blocking

00:13:04.389 --> 00:13:10.269
of the punts. I've seen him push people up to

00:13:10.269 --> 00:13:13.029
get them higher to where they can hit the ball.

00:13:13.289 --> 00:13:16.669
And you can do that on defense. Yes. Like the

00:13:16.669 --> 00:13:19.529
tush push on offense. Yeah, Green Bay's trying

00:13:19.529 --> 00:13:22.149
to get that outlawed. Have you heard their version

00:13:22.149 --> 00:13:26.049
of the rule? Okay, I kind of agree with him because

00:13:26.049 --> 00:13:28.970
of the injury factor. And also another thing

00:13:28.970 --> 00:13:33.059
is, You take your biggest guys and put them up

00:13:33.059 --> 00:13:36.080
there is what you do. And if you do that in other

00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:39.440
situations, it's illegal. Yeah. You see? So I

00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:41.879
kind of get it. But then again, it makes for

00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:44.379
exciting football. Yeah. If you stop the tush

00:13:44.379 --> 00:13:47.960
push and if your defense does that, that is on

00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:50.919
ESPN for three weeks. Well, here's what I'd like

00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:53.059
to see the team do. Like the Chiefs did against

00:13:53.059 --> 00:13:55.460
Buffalo. Yeah. But everybody's like, oh, they

00:13:55.460 --> 00:13:58.830
cheated. They jumped the snap. Get better, dickheads.

00:13:58.970 --> 00:14:02.610
Yeah. Get better. Here's what I'm expecting a

00:14:02.610 --> 00:14:04.309
team to do. They're going to go out and sign

00:14:04.309 --> 00:14:06.730
somebody who's about five feet tall and weighs

00:14:06.730 --> 00:14:10.649
75 pounds. Uh -huh. And he's going to get under

00:14:10.649 --> 00:14:13.950
center, or she, or whatever. Ball is snapped,

00:14:14.090 --> 00:14:16.110
and then three people are going to grab that

00:14:16.110 --> 00:14:18.470
person and throw him over the line of scrimmage.

00:14:19.169 --> 00:14:23.429
I can't wait for that. Oh, I want a little person.

00:14:23.610 --> 00:14:26.049
Yes. I want them to hire a little person. So

00:14:26.049 --> 00:14:29.159
be dwarf tossing. And every time you hear the

00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:30.860
Oompa Loompa song when he comes out on the field.

00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:34.200
And you know what? If the NFL could make enough

00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:36.460
money off that, they'd put it in tomorrow. Yes,

00:14:36.460 --> 00:14:38.620
they would. Because the only thing the NFL cares

00:14:38.620 --> 00:14:41.200
about is what makes us money. That's what we'll

00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:45.000
do next. Find five burly midges. Or can you call

00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:46.779
them that anymore? No, little people. Little

00:14:46.779 --> 00:14:49.740
people. Yes. Find five little people and hire

00:14:49.740 --> 00:14:52.019
them right now. I want one as a commentator.

00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:54.899
I want one for the little people commentator,

00:14:54.899 --> 00:14:58.340
too. And if you can throw that person. four yards

00:14:58.340 --> 00:15:01.259
or more, that will be your every down play. A

00:15:01.259 --> 00:15:03.480
human shot put? Yeah. I mean, why wouldn't you

00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:05.539
call that every play? Just throw him ahead four

00:15:05.539 --> 00:15:08.120
yards. Have a lineman grab him and just toss

00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:10.919
him. Or just pick him up and carry him. Yeah.

00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:13.720
You know, if a teammate can push you over the

00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:15.559
line, why can't a teammate pick you up and carry

00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:16.679
you over the line? If you're fourth and one,

00:15:16.820 --> 00:15:19.179
you hold him in the air. Oh, no, no, no. He's

00:15:19.179 --> 00:15:21.240
a little person. His arm reach wouldn't be good

00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:23.559
enough. No. You'd have to move a little bit.

00:15:23.580 --> 00:15:25.860
I was going to say. You know, a regular -sized

00:15:25.860 --> 00:15:28.000
person, they just extend their hands out with

00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:30.700
a ball. Well, see, that's where you hire a player

00:15:30.700 --> 00:15:32.779
who's like eight feet tall and has four -foot

00:15:32.779 --> 00:15:35.480
arms. They snap the ball, stand up, and extend

00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:37.600
their arms ahead. It's already over the line.

00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:40.679
Guys, stop. I'm already there. Yep. Oh, okay,

00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:44.519
sorry. And it's interesting, so many of the rules

00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:48.399
of the NFL. are designed to keep teams from exploiting

00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:50.720
the rules just like that. Yes, and you would

00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:52.980
find something after that. You would find a counter

00:15:52.980 --> 00:15:55.659
to that immediately next season. I just find

00:15:55.659 --> 00:15:57.740
this really interesting to see how many rules

00:15:57.740 --> 00:16:00.820
are in there because teams cheat. Yes. That's

00:16:00.820 --> 00:16:02.340
why the rules that, you know, we think, oh, the

00:16:02.340 --> 00:16:04.960
NFL is so great. No, teams are cheating constantly,

00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:07.039
and that's why new rules are being made constantly.

00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:10.980
And this is why I think the tush push is probably

00:16:10.980 --> 00:16:13.039
going to get eventually outlawed. Eventually.

00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:15.159
I really don't think this year. Not this year,

00:16:15.220 --> 00:16:17.940
but it's coming. And whether you agree with it

00:16:17.940 --> 00:16:20.620
or not, me, I'm mixed. I see some points, and

00:16:20.620 --> 00:16:23.879
I see some exciting football. I think the tipping

00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:26.139
point will be when the fans decide they don't

00:16:26.139 --> 00:16:28.960
like it anymore. That's when the NFL will decide

00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:30.919
they don't want it anymore. Key people get injured.

00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:34.340
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because they're going to

00:16:34.340 --> 00:16:36.340
have 18 games, and that's going to add to it,

00:16:36.340 --> 00:16:38.159
too. And they've got to disguise that somehow.

00:16:38.340 --> 00:16:41.580
Yeah. All right. The Chiefs re -sign Hollywood

00:16:41.580 --> 00:16:45.029
Brown. Yeah, that surprised me. Me too, because

00:16:45.029 --> 00:16:47.230
everybody had him in a Bill's uniform. Yeah.

00:16:47.309 --> 00:16:50.830
Oh, they could not wait. Oh, yeah, him and Josh

00:16:50.830 --> 00:16:52.970
Allen have been talking every night. Oh, well.

00:16:53.730 --> 00:16:55.929
Maybe they were just exchanging kale recipes.

00:16:56.009 --> 00:17:00.529
I think so. I think so. They're like, Josh, don't

00:17:00.529 --> 00:17:03.309
tell anyone, but you know what? What? I put cheese

00:17:03.309 --> 00:17:07.210
on my kale. What? Before or after you put it

00:17:07.210 --> 00:17:12.990
in the trash? After. Yeah. I melt it. I wrap

00:17:12.990 --> 00:17:16.049
my kale in four layers of plastic trash bags.

00:17:16.690 --> 00:17:19.569
That way the garbage man won't refuse to take

00:17:19.569 --> 00:17:22.750
it. I hear that any man, if he consumes too much

00:17:22.750 --> 00:17:26.769
kale, he starts off in life. Yep. Yep. Yep. Pretty

00:17:26.769 --> 00:17:29.569
much. Yep. Yep. From his nose. From his nose.

00:17:32.829 --> 00:17:35.750
Yeah. But, I mean, I'm still buying my first

00:17:35.750 --> 00:17:38.380
statement about kale is this right here. It was

00:17:38.380 --> 00:17:41.779
designed as a joke, and it started working. They're

00:17:41.779 --> 00:17:44.420
like, hey, guys, check this out. I'm coming up

00:17:44.420 --> 00:17:46.500
with this new stuff. What are you going to call

00:17:46.500 --> 00:17:49.579
it? Kale. Ooh, that even sounds gross. Yeah,

00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:52.019
and it's just going to be a pile of shit, okay?

00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:55.940
And I'm going to label it as the most exciting,

00:17:56.019 --> 00:18:00.460
tasty, healthy treat ever. And it's going to

00:18:00.460 --> 00:18:03.640
sell millions in the first year, and that is

00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:05.779
until someone comes up with sexier, something

00:18:05.779 --> 00:18:08.259
sexier. And actually, I think kale's out now,

00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:10.480
isn't it? Yeah, I hardly ever hear about it anymore.

00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:14.099
What is it now? Let's see, it's quinoa with kale.

00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:17.460
I think now it might be like something chickpea

00:18:17.460 --> 00:18:20.660
-based. Yeah, for a while it was all about the

00:18:20.660 --> 00:18:22.759
omega -3 fatty acids. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That

00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:26.119
was the sexy new ingredient to have. See what

00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:29.440
I have here? This cup of lard? It's a cup of

00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:33.940
omega -3 fatty acids. You know, it's best to

00:18:33.940 --> 00:18:37.490
recognize that for what it is. It's processed

00:18:37.490 --> 00:18:40.690
food is trying to get us to buy the next thing

00:18:40.690 --> 00:18:43.769
that they have too much of. Yeah, yeah. Yeah,

00:18:43.829 --> 00:18:46.029
I mean, that's how come MedTech has sold so well

00:18:46.029 --> 00:18:49.049
for so long. Do you remember when the fashion

00:18:49.049 --> 00:18:51.630
industry went back when people used to pay attention

00:18:51.630 --> 00:18:54.089
to it? They would declare a color of the year

00:18:54.089 --> 00:18:56.170
in the spring. It's like, here's the color of

00:18:56.170 --> 00:18:58.650
the upcoming season. And then someone did some

00:18:58.650 --> 00:19:00.890
research and found out the way they picked that

00:19:00.890 --> 00:19:04.829
color is they pulled the market. internationally

00:19:04.829 --> 00:19:08.309
and determined what was the cheapest fabric dye

00:19:08.309 --> 00:19:10.869
they could get. And then that was the color.

00:19:10.910 --> 00:19:13.109
That was the color. Yep. Because it was all about

00:19:13.109 --> 00:19:16.230
economics, but they presented it, oh, we've decided

00:19:16.230 --> 00:19:18.930
this is the color because of the, yeah, because

00:19:18.930 --> 00:19:21.329
it was cheapest for them. Yeah. That's the way

00:19:21.329 --> 00:19:23.609
things have always been, and it's encouraging

00:19:23.609 --> 00:19:26.670
to see people starting to see past the bullshit

00:19:26.670 --> 00:19:30.390
and propaganda. Yeah, I agree. Because the ones

00:19:30.390 --> 00:19:33.470
who don't, they're dangerous. I try to stay away

00:19:33.470 --> 00:19:36.789
from them. To me, it looks to me, now we live

00:19:36.789 --> 00:19:39.130
in the Midwest, but the only people that follow

00:19:39.130 --> 00:19:41.430
the guidelines of the newest fashion trend is

00:19:41.430 --> 00:19:45.509
Hollywood. Everyone else is kind of like, I don't

00:19:45.509 --> 00:19:48.329
know. I don't think that's for me. Yeah, I remember

00:19:48.329 --> 00:19:51.410
there used to be a lot more TV shows dedicated

00:19:51.410 --> 00:19:54.910
to fashion. and a lot more attention paid to

00:19:54.910 --> 00:19:58.009
it. Robin Leach used to glorify it really well.

00:19:58.170 --> 00:20:02.190
Yeah, but anymore, I mean, the whole push towards

00:20:02.190 --> 00:20:04.990
individualism really bit him in the ass there.

00:20:04.990 --> 00:20:06.970
It did, didn't it? Yeah. Yeah, you want to wear

00:20:06.970 --> 00:20:10.650
a tin bucket? Well, okay, go ahead. The people

00:20:10.650 --> 00:20:12.630
who make tin buckets are fine. Yeah, they're

00:20:12.630 --> 00:20:15.329
like, go ahead. Here, we'll give you a couple.

00:20:16.470 --> 00:20:19.730
See this one that says outlaw on it? It's mean.

00:20:19.950 --> 00:20:22.410
It means you're an outlaw and you do what you

00:20:22.410 --> 00:20:24.289
want, even though I just gave this to you to

00:20:24.289 --> 00:20:27.869
wear. You're an outlaw. Yes, I am. As I said

00:20:27.869 --> 00:20:32.410
so. Yes. You the man. Yes, I am. Look at my tin

00:20:32.410 --> 00:20:38.680
bucket. All right. This is more like bullet points,

00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:40.259
Dale. I just got a few of them, and then we'll

00:20:40.259 --> 00:20:42.299
go into the report cards that we started. Okay,

00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:43.740
well, I've got a few signings that might have

00:20:43.740 --> 00:20:46.079
already been covered. Oh, go ahead. Sam Darnold

00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:48.119
went to the Seahawks. Yes, and that was one of

00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:50.339
my bullet points. Oh, okay, sorry. No, no, no,

00:20:50.339 --> 00:20:52.740
no. No, I didn't know it at the time. Oh, okay.

00:20:52.980 --> 00:20:57.440
Yeah, because it's been three weeks. Yeah. Geno

00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:01.099
Smith went to the Raiders. Yep. From the Seahawks.

00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:04.279
DK Metcalf went from the Seahawks to the Steelers.

00:21:06.740 --> 00:21:10.299
Justin Fields went to the Jets, so I guess he's

00:21:10.299 --> 00:21:14.660
looking at being the number one right now. Right

00:21:14.660 --> 00:21:17.319
now, unless they go to the draft, they're counting

00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:20.319
on him to step up and be the number one guy.

00:21:20.420 --> 00:21:22.980
Yeah. I think they're going to change the offense

00:21:22.980 --> 00:21:25.099
to tailor to him, though, more running. They

00:21:25.099 --> 00:21:29.349
should. Yeah. Less pocket. Jonah Jackson, offensive

00:21:29.349 --> 00:21:31.609
guard from the Rams, went to the Bears. So he

00:21:31.609 --> 00:21:33.490
and Joe Tooney are really going to help solidify

00:21:33.490 --> 00:21:35.549
that line. Yeah, and that's smart. And I think

00:21:35.549 --> 00:21:37.710
a lot of that has to be enemies' influence. Yeah.

00:21:37.930 --> 00:21:40.250
You come in and say, hey, this is what we did

00:21:40.250 --> 00:21:42.730
in Kansas City. This is what we should do here.

00:21:42.950 --> 00:21:45.769
Yeah. That's why they hired him. They found a

00:21:45.769 --> 00:21:47.569
position for him. They made up one pretty much.

00:21:47.750 --> 00:21:49.910
Hey, now go ahead. All right, the Commanders

00:21:49.910 --> 00:21:53.670
signed both Debo Samuels and offensive tackle

00:21:53.670 --> 00:21:58.900
Laramie Tunsell. Debo from the Niners and Tunsil

00:21:58.900 --> 00:22:00.839
from the Texans. The Niners, I don't know what

00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:02.400
they're going to look like. They better draft

00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:04.839
very well. Yeah, they're losing people. Oh, they're

00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:07.119
losing people, and they have salary cap issues

00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:10.619
bad. So whether they declare it or not, the Niners

00:22:10.619 --> 00:22:13.000
are going to be in rebuilding mode. Yeah, they're

00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:16.660
running back. McCaffrey? Yeah. Who knows how

00:22:16.660 --> 00:22:19.400
he's going to be? No kidding. He's had too many

00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:21.319
major injuries now, and he's getting up there.

00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:23.339
He's probably around 30, isn't he? And he has

00:22:23.339 --> 00:22:26.059
that chronic. illness in his legs, disease in

00:22:26.059 --> 00:22:29.339
his legs. No matter how good he is now, he's

00:22:29.339 --> 00:22:31.559
never going to get any better. This is as good

00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:33.579
as he's ever going to be, and tomorrow he's going

00:22:33.579 --> 00:22:38.799
to be worse. It's a downhill slide for him. I

00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:41.460
hope the guy can still contribute and play and

00:22:41.460 --> 00:22:44.279
do what he loves, but from a business standpoint,

00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:47.220
he's someone you want to get out from under.

00:22:47.380 --> 00:22:49.220
I personally think the Niners are in trouble

00:22:49.220 --> 00:22:53.630
because they've lost so... And I think that McCaffrey

00:22:53.630 --> 00:22:55.549
trade is going to go down in a couple of years

00:22:55.549 --> 00:22:58.430
as being a big mistake. Yeah. Because he didn't

00:22:58.430 --> 00:23:00.309
get accomplished what they wanted him, and then

00:23:00.309 --> 00:23:03.289
they lost him. Yep. Yeah, I agree. But that's

00:23:03.289 --> 00:23:05.829
part of the situation. I mean, you take chances.

00:23:05.829 --> 00:23:09.009
Hey, man, we had to let Snead go last year. Yeah.

00:23:09.009 --> 00:23:12.809
Did we want to? Fuck no. No. I'm so glad he's

00:23:12.809 --> 00:23:16.039
doing well. Yeah. Yeah, he's a great, yeah. Miles

00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:17.740
Garrett, who said he'd never play in Cleveland

00:23:17.740 --> 00:23:20.279
again, is re -signed with Cleveland. Yeah, that's

00:23:20.279 --> 00:23:22.859
one of my bullet points, but he's re -signed

00:23:22.859 --> 00:23:25.619
with Cleveland since then. Kenny Pickett also

00:23:25.619 --> 00:23:30.980
signed in Cleveland from Steelers. Devontae Adams

00:23:30.980 --> 00:23:33.980
went to the Rams. I think that is a great pick

00:23:33.980 --> 00:23:39.140
-up and a great let -go. Cup is gone. It's weird.

00:23:39.559 --> 00:23:44.200
First, they wanted to trade Cup. It wasn't his

00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:46.460
idea, and they got mad when Cooper Cupp said,

00:23:46.619 --> 00:23:48.400
hey, it's not my idea, I don't want to leave,

00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:50.640
but they're saying I'm gone. And then nobody

00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:53.200
wanted him, and now he's dumped as a free agent.

00:23:53.500 --> 00:23:56.880
Oh, I know. Wow. Well, I mean, I don't know.

00:23:56.940 --> 00:23:59.339
The word is, and who knows if it's true or not,

00:23:59.380 --> 00:24:01.160
he wants too much money for his capabilities.

00:24:01.180 --> 00:24:03.259
I imagine that's it. I mean, he had 800 yards

00:24:03.259 --> 00:24:07.519
last year. Yeah. You can get 700 from a backup.

00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:11.400
He wants to get paid based on his best year.

00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:13.880
Yeah. However long ago that was. That was probably

00:24:13.880 --> 00:24:16.039
three years ago. Yeah. During the Super Bowl

00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:18.759
year. I don't blame him. Why not try? Yeah. But

00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:19.920
he's not going to get it. I don't think he's

00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:22.640
going to get it. No. And I expect him to sign

00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:24.720
with someone like Kansas City for a minimal amount.

00:24:25.019 --> 00:24:26.480
Could be. Because he's going to look and go,

00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:28.740
you know, I would not mind another ring. Yeah.

00:24:29.099 --> 00:24:32.500
So. Let's see. Khalil Mack went to the Chargers.

00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:35.900
Yep. And, yeah, that sucks. Yeah. We're going

00:24:35.900 --> 00:24:39.980
to. Face him now. Josh Sweat went from the Eagles

00:24:39.980 --> 00:24:43.059
to the Cardinals. Keith's brother. Yes. He went

00:24:43.059 --> 00:24:46.480
from a bird team to a bird team. Yep. And there's

00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:48.619
a large difference in their age because, well,

00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:51.319
his mom fooled around at a later age. Allegedly.

00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:53.119
Just kidding. You know that stuff. Just wait

00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:55.299
until Josh Sweat reads that report card that

00:24:55.299 --> 00:24:59.500
the Cardinals got. They were 32 out of 32. Dead

00:24:59.500 --> 00:25:02.279
last in the league as far as player support card.

00:25:02.579 --> 00:25:07.430
You guys said you were almost there. Treverius

00:25:07.430 --> 00:25:09.549
Ward went to the Colts again because he wanted

00:25:09.549 --> 00:25:11.509
a bunch of money. Yeah, and I don't know how

00:25:11.509 --> 00:25:13.549
he keeps getting all this money. He was decent

00:25:13.549 --> 00:25:15.109
when he was here, and I was sorry to see him

00:25:15.109 --> 00:25:16.809
go, but at this point I don't think he would

00:25:16.809 --> 00:25:19.009
fit if he wanted to come back. No, no, no, no.

00:25:19.150 --> 00:25:20.970
You've got somebody who fills issues very nicely.

00:25:21.029 --> 00:25:22.809
I mean, he's good, but not someone you're going

00:25:22.809 --> 00:25:27.309
to want to keep a team. Maybe as a guy, if someone

00:25:27.309 --> 00:25:29.210
gets injured, you might reach out for him, but

00:25:29.210 --> 00:25:32.009
I think as your main team, he probably kind of

00:25:32.009 --> 00:25:34.269
missed that boat. Yeah, and he's not going to

00:25:34.269 --> 00:25:36.230
be around waiting for an injury later in the

00:25:36.230 --> 00:25:38.009
season. Somebody's going to sign him up. Yeah,

00:25:38.029 --> 00:25:42.029
they'll get him. But, you know, some of these

00:25:42.029 --> 00:25:44.549
free agent signings could be dropped by their

00:25:44.549 --> 00:25:47.289
team by midseason. Yeah, that always happens.

00:25:47.650 --> 00:25:52.490
That always happens. Or the person they're replacing

00:25:52.490 --> 00:25:55.490
gets cut on the last cut down day of the season.

00:25:55.490 --> 00:25:58.509
That happens a lot too. Yeah, and then you look

00:25:58.509 --> 00:26:00.630
at the free agent wire and you snatch those people

00:26:00.630 --> 00:26:03.480
up. Yep. Oh, the Chiefs are so good at that.

00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:05.200
They are. And then I love the way they'll snatch

00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:07.180
somebody up that you're like, why did they get

00:26:07.180 --> 00:26:09.039
another quarterback? Yeah, who the hell is this

00:26:09.039 --> 00:26:10.960
guy? And then a month later they trade him with

00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:12.839
someone that their quarterback went down. Yeah,

00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:14.400
and they get like a fifth round pick. Yeah, they're

00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:16.819
like, yeah. Yeah, how did we get these 30 picks?

00:26:16.839 --> 00:26:18.839
Fifth round pick for nothing. Yeah. They do that

00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:21.579
all the time. I think it's brilliant. Yeah. I

00:26:21.579 --> 00:26:23.839
try to do that when I'm playing Madden football.

00:26:24.019 --> 00:26:25.539
Of course, Madden football has nothing to do

00:26:25.539 --> 00:26:28.119
with real life. Yeah. The rules are all screwed

00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:30.299
up and the game itself is pretty. It's still

00:26:30.299 --> 00:26:32.299
fun, though. It's fun, but it really doesn't

00:26:32.299 --> 00:26:34.839
have a lot in similar with real football anymore.

00:26:35.039 --> 00:26:37.380
I agree. EA just doesn't put the thought into

00:26:37.380 --> 00:26:40.619
it. No. But it is really easy to take advantage

00:26:40.619 --> 00:26:43.259
of the computer -controlled teams signing these

00:26:43.259 --> 00:26:47.579
awesome free agents. Uh -huh. And I've had some

00:26:47.579 --> 00:26:49.359
really good success there, but of course that

00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:51.519
doesn't translate to the real world. No. It kind

00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:53.700
of gives me an idea of how the structure works

00:26:53.700 --> 00:26:57.259
and the possibilities. Yeah. I'll do that while

00:26:57.259 --> 00:27:00.319
here's something going on in the NFL, bring up

00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:02.359
the franchise mode in Madden and see if it's

00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:03.900
got anything like that. Oh, I like that idea

00:27:03.900 --> 00:27:07.519
and see what it catches. Is that all your questions?

00:27:07.859 --> 00:27:10.079
That was it. That was my free agents. I have

00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:12.059
a few bullet points and then we'll go into what

00:27:12.059 --> 00:27:15.460
we started three weeks ago. Yeah. Okay. Could

00:27:15.460 --> 00:27:17.660
Rogers become a contender again on the right

00:27:17.660 --> 00:27:21.710
team? Thank you. Yeah, I think so. I think he

00:27:21.710 --> 00:27:23.829
still has something left in him, and with the

00:27:23.829 --> 00:27:26.569
right protection and scheme, etc. Yeah, he can

00:27:26.569 --> 00:27:29.369
be successful. He made a bad pick like Favre

00:27:29.369 --> 00:27:34.029
did. Favre. Yeah, Favre. Yeah, that nice guy.

00:27:34.329 --> 00:27:37.430
Yeah, that guy who steals from the poor. Yeah,

00:27:37.470 --> 00:27:40.809
allegedly, but yeah. I don't think we have to

00:27:40.809 --> 00:27:43.109
say allegedly. No, we don't. He got convicted

00:27:43.109 --> 00:27:45.680
on that one, so we can call him out on it. Yeah,

00:27:45.859 --> 00:27:49.640
let's steal from the ultra -poor. Yes. And they

00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:53.500
didn't even have it labeled as the poor fund.

00:27:53.619 --> 00:27:56.440
The ultra -poor fund. We're talking about people

00:27:56.440 --> 00:27:58.799
that aren't even eating. It's like, hey, I can

00:27:58.799 --> 00:28:01.119
use that money for my girl's soccer team or something.

00:28:01.380 --> 00:28:04.299
Yeah, volleyball or soccer or something. Yeah,

00:28:04.299 --> 00:28:07.720
for a privileged white girl's sports team. Yes.

00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:10.079
I wish you'd never done that because now I don't

00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:13.859
like them at all. I know. Yeah. And rumor has

00:28:13.859 --> 00:28:16.990
it. You say your phone three times, Brett Favre,

00:28:17.130 --> 00:28:19.970
and his dick pic will appear. Yeah. Yeah. Or

00:28:19.970 --> 00:28:23.849
the Vicodin on it. Yeah. No, no, no, he's soft.

00:28:27.809 --> 00:28:30.589
He obviously didn't listen to Uncle Rob's rules

00:28:30.589 --> 00:28:33.730
to life. No. No, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because, you

00:28:33.730 --> 00:28:35.529
know, Uncle Rob, he's got it dialed in on the

00:28:35.529 --> 00:28:38.869
dick pic, you know. You always shoot angles that

00:28:38.869 --> 00:28:42.269
are complementary to length and girth. Favre

00:28:42.269 --> 00:28:46.049
obviously didn't do that. No. Rumor has it he

00:28:46.049 --> 00:28:47.890
had one of those little turtle peeking at you

00:28:47.890 --> 00:28:50.529
in the shell pictures. Yep. He had a thimble.

00:28:51.250 --> 00:28:55.089
A little peach thimble. Alright. Is that your

00:28:55.089 --> 00:29:04.269
clitoris? What? I've seen bigger dicks on a fucking

00:29:04.269 --> 00:29:08.809
bullfrog. I've seen bigger dicks on an earthworm.

00:29:09.500 --> 00:29:15.000
And they fuck themselves. Yeah. Oh, my God. All

00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:17.960
right. Okay. He's as close to a Ken as you can

00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:21.079
get. Yeah. Yeah. A Ken doll. Smooth like a Ken

00:29:21.079 --> 00:29:25.799
doll. Bald smoothie. Yep. All right. What is

00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:29.640
the Chiefs' number one need in the draft? Offensive

00:29:29.640 --> 00:29:33.640
line. Absolutely. 100%. And, I mean, I would

00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:35.980
really not mind if the first two picks went to

00:29:35.980 --> 00:29:38.119
offensive line. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, they're

00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:40.779
pretty much solidified on everything else. And

00:29:40.779 --> 00:29:42.740
I'll put it like this and see if you agree with

00:29:42.740 --> 00:29:44.980
me. The offense has taken a couple of steps up

00:29:44.980 --> 00:29:47.740
this year, barring any injuries like last year.

00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:51.019
Yeah. So the offense has taken steps up. The

00:29:51.019 --> 00:29:53.680
defense can take a step back because it's all

00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:56.099
on money allocated to certain things. And right

00:29:56.099 --> 00:29:57.759
now that's just the way it is. You know, you're

00:29:57.759 --> 00:30:00.000
going to have to. Some of the defense you're

00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:01.460
going to have to give up on because they're getting

00:30:01.460 --> 00:30:03.500
to where that range where you can't afford some

00:30:03.500 --> 00:30:06.019
of them. Yeah, and I'm comfortable with the Chiefs

00:30:06.019 --> 00:30:09.400
team that needs to outscore the other team. Just

00:30:09.400 --> 00:30:14.000
keep a decent to good defense and then just be

00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:17.119
able to score 40, 50 points a game. No one's

00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:20.519
going to keep up with you. Yep. Yeah, no, I agree.

00:30:21.460 --> 00:30:24.619
Which team is going to be the ride higher in

00:30:24.619 --> 00:30:28.960
the Western Division of the AFC? Two douchebags

00:30:28.960 --> 00:30:32.980
and a microphone. The only podcast with gusto.

00:30:33.420 --> 00:30:37.980
That's right. Just like Schlitz beer. Google

00:30:37.980 --> 00:30:41.339
it. In order for us here at Two Douchebags and

00:30:41.339 --> 00:30:45.359
Microphone, we feel bad for not having a female

00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:48.680
presence. So for us to not look sexist, we're

00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:50.779
going to occasionally have a female laugh in

00:30:50.779 --> 00:30:53.420
the background. We hope this clears up any misunderstanding.

00:30:55.180 --> 00:30:57.319
Please remember to go to Cole's dressing room,

00:30:57.440 --> 00:31:00.200
wait five minutes, and scream, hey, there's no

00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:07.599
toilet paper in here. Which team is going to

00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:12.240
prove to be the right hire as a coach? Because

00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:15.119
now we have, you know, the big dog, Andy Reid.

00:31:15.539 --> 00:31:19.579
Then we have Sean McVay. Yeah. Or no, Sean Payton.

00:31:19.700 --> 00:31:21.920
Sean Payton, yeah. Then we have Sean Payton.

00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:25.130
We have Pete Carroll. and we have jim harbaugh

00:31:25.130 --> 00:31:28.369
two of them won super bowls and one of them has

00:31:28.369 --> 00:31:31.230
been to the super bowl with a couple of ass scrubs

00:31:31.230 --> 00:31:36.549
yeah yeah wow yeah that's that's definitely a

00:31:36.549 --> 00:31:40.130
good coaching pedigree yeah and that was designed

00:31:40.130 --> 00:31:43.789
on purpose how can you beat mahomes and reed

00:31:43.789 --> 00:31:49.950
well it all starts from the top so i'm going

00:31:49.950 --> 00:31:52.369
to say right now because of the combination of

00:31:52.369 --> 00:31:56.640
the of the GM and the coach, I'm going to say

00:31:56.640 --> 00:31:59.059
right now, and I hate saying this, but I think

00:31:59.059 --> 00:32:01.079
the Raiders. That's who I was going to pick too.

00:32:01.299 --> 00:32:03.920
They scored so well on their report card. The

00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:06.039
players love playing there. They love being there.

00:32:06.119 --> 00:32:08.140
They love playing there. They believe in the

00:32:08.140 --> 00:32:10.539
organization. They're like number four out of

00:32:10.539 --> 00:32:14.539
32. And, yeah, their combination in the front

00:32:14.539 --> 00:32:17.059
office and the fact that Mark Davis is going

00:32:17.059 --> 00:32:19.359
to step back and not interfere so much. And Tom

00:32:19.359 --> 00:32:22.359
Brady's influence. Yeah. Yeah, I think the Raiders

00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:26.019
are really going to be a problem for the Kansas

00:32:26.019 --> 00:32:28.220
City Chiefs. Yeah, and I think the Chargers are

00:32:28.220 --> 00:32:30.640
going to be a problem too, and I think the Broncos

00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:33.480
are going to be problematic also. Yeah. But I

00:32:33.480 --> 00:32:37.680
think this is a great thing. Even if we don't

00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:39.799
get home field advantage because of the division

00:32:39.799 --> 00:32:42.359
being so tough. We're a better team fighting

00:32:42.359 --> 00:32:44.920
them all year. We're a much better team. Yeah,

00:32:44.920 --> 00:32:47.559
well, you know, because unless you're the number

00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:49.759
one seed, you're playing that extra game anyway.

00:32:50.019 --> 00:32:53.940
Yeah, yeah. So if you're not the number one seed,

00:32:54.200 --> 00:32:55.759
for the Chiefs, it doesn't matter if you're on

00:32:55.759 --> 00:32:57.319
the road or at home. You're going to be fine.

00:32:57.519 --> 00:32:59.700
Oh, yeah. I mean, and here's something I could

00:32:59.700 --> 00:33:01.819
parlay it to. George Foreman just passed away.

00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:04.640
Great. One of my favorite boxers ever. Great

00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:07.299
guy, too. Great grill. You know, and I'm not

00:33:07.299 --> 00:33:09.500
talking about his mouth. There's a George Foreman

00:33:09.500 --> 00:33:13.289
grill out there. Yep. Okay, he was a scrapper,

00:33:13.349 --> 00:33:15.410
which made him one of the best fighters ever

00:33:15.410 --> 00:33:17.730
because you couldn't knock him down. Yeah. He

00:33:17.730 --> 00:33:20.269
would stay and stay and stay. Well, that's what

00:33:20.269 --> 00:33:22.589
the Chiefs will be in this division. Yeah. They're

00:33:22.589 --> 00:33:25.769
going to be a fist fight. They're going to punch.

00:33:26.009 --> 00:33:28.289
And they're going to be, I mean, they're already,

00:33:28.349 --> 00:33:30.009
people don't like playing them, but it's going

00:33:30.009 --> 00:33:32.789
to get even worse because this team has fist

00:33:32.789 --> 00:33:35.529
fought four of the best teams in the AFC two

00:33:35.529 --> 00:33:39.759
times a year. Yeah. So. I think bring it on.

00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:44.859
Yeah. Could Darnold become a contender in Seattle?

00:33:46.740 --> 00:33:49.619
Not a contender. Playoff team, yes. Playoffs,

00:33:49.619 --> 00:33:54.460
no. Yeah, I really don't see Sam Darnold taking

00:33:54.460 --> 00:33:57.839
a team all the way. No, I don't either. Well,

00:33:58.140 --> 00:34:00.140
I mean, look at Minnesota, and they let him go.

00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:02.160
Yeah. They're like, no, that's all right, you

00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:04.000
can walk. Well, why is that? He wanted too much

00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:06.500
money for the talent that he gave. Yeah, and

00:34:06.500 --> 00:34:09.480
Minnesota realized that the bulk of their success

00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:12.639
came not from Sam Darnold. Well, this is a team

00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:15.019
that picked up Darnold and took him to the locker

00:34:15.019 --> 00:34:17.340
room. Yeah, and they didn't re -sign him. So

00:34:17.340 --> 00:34:20.179
that tells you, nice guy too, everyone likes

00:34:20.179 --> 00:34:24.480
him. The talent is not there. Yeah, and sometimes

00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:27.739
it's the combination of the talent and the drive.

00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:31.619
He's not a guy that's going to pick up the team,

00:34:31.659 --> 00:34:32.900
put them on their shoulders, and go, come on,

00:34:32.900 --> 00:34:34.980
guys. He's not a guy that goes in the locker

00:34:34.980 --> 00:34:37.059
room and goes, what the fuck is wrong with you

00:34:37.059 --> 00:34:40.079
guys? I mean, Mahomes is so good at that. And

00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:42.599
he doesn't point fingers and doesn't throw people

00:34:42.599 --> 00:34:45.099
under the bus. He says, it starts with me, and

00:34:45.099 --> 00:34:48.099
I've got to do better, and so do you. And Darnold,

00:34:48.199 --> 00:34:51.420
I saw a lot of Sam Darnold in that Netflix series

00:34:51.420 --> 00:34:54.380
Quarterback. Yeah. He was featured on that. And

00:34:54.380 --> 00:34:57.739
he seems like, in most of his life, he's the

00:34:57.739 --> 00:35:00.659
kind of guy that wants to get along, do the right

00:35:00.659 --> 00:35:04.579
thing, help people, be nice, be friendly. He's

00:35:04.579 --> 00:35:06.760
got a very Christian attitude towards his fellow

00:35:06.760 --> 00:35:08.519
man. Yes, I like him a lot as a person. He's

00:35:08.519 --> 00:35:11.000
kind of like Kirk Cousins. Really likable guy.

00:35:11.179 --> 00:35:13.800
Yeah, very much so. But then when he gets on

00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:18.139
the field, he still has that attitude. When you're

00:35:18.139 --> 00:35:20.219
a boxer, you've got to be willing to punch the

00:35:20.219 --> 00:35:23.239
other guy on the injury. If you've made a cut

00:35:23.239 --> 00:35:24.840
on his eye, you've got to be willing to punch

00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:28.139
it over and over to take advantage. Sam Darnold

00:35:28.139 --> 00:35:31.400
just isn't that guy. Well, it was Kirk Cousins

00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:34.019
on the quarterback thing. Instead of Sam Darnold,

00:35:34.039 --> 00:35:36.099
I got the two confused. But Sam Darnold's kind

00:35:36.099 --> 00:35:39.440
of the same guy. Oh, real quick. Do you still

00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:42.400
have the catfish nuggets for the possums? Oh,

00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:44.699
I do. Okay, I'll have to get them on the way

00:35:44.699 --> 00:35:46.719
out. Val wants to give the possums some food.

00:35:46.880 --> 00:35:49.969
Yes. Okay. Go ahead, I'm sorry. But, yeah, once

00:35:49.969 --> 00:35:51.929
he gets on the field, he doesn't have that killer

00:35:51.929 --> 00:35:54.789
instinct, that take advantage, that win at all

00:35:54.789 --> 00:35:57.250
costs, you know, if it's in the rules, I'm doing

00:35:57.250 --> 00:35:59.829
it kind of thing. Sam Darnold seems to revert

00:35:59.829 --> 00:36:01.710
to nice guy and he doesn't want to hurt anybody's

00:36:01.710 --> 00:36:04.630
feelings. See, that's what makes Mahomes so interesting

00:36:04.630 --> 00:36:09.869
and so on his own, really. I mean, a talent that,

00:36:09.889 --> 00:36:11.869
like, really is kind of unmatched in a lot of

00:36:11.869 --> 00:36:14.010
areas. Yeah. And the one thing is he'll go out

00:36:14.010 --> 00:36:16.389
and pray with everybody. But you don't get that.

00:36:16.449 --> 00:36:18.730
You do not get that in the huddle. It's like,

00:36:18.789 --> 00:36:21.090
that son of a bitch is coming over here, and

00:36:21.090 --> 00:36:23.090
he's going to tear you up unless you're ready.

00:36:23.730 --> 00:36:29.150
Yeah. So, anyhow. I remember the singer for Bullet

00:36:29.150 --> 00:36:33.010
Boys, Mark Torian. Yeah. In the dedication of

00:36:33.010 --> 00:36:36.530
his first album with the Bullet Boys, his first

00:36:36.530 --> 00:36:39.190
person he thanked, he said, the first person

00:36:39.190 --> 00:36:41.670
I want to thank is Jesus Christ, without whom

00:36:41.670 --> 00:36:44.510
I ain't shit. So he's a born -again Christian,

00:36:44.710 --> 00:36:47.670
but he also can say, I ain't shit. I love the

00:36:47.670 --> 00:36:50.110
guy. It's that attitude. And he still sings songs.

00:36:50.630 --> 00:36:54.989
They're pretty raunchy and nasty. Smooth up in

00:36:54.989 --> 00:36:56.949
you? Yeah. Well, I wonder what that's about.

00:36:57.070 --> 00:37:00.550
Kissing Kitty. Kissing Kitty, yeah. Yeah, but

00:37:00.550 --> 00:37:02.210
he's a born -again Christian. But he is a born

00:37:02.210 --> 00:37:04.449
-again Christian. He loves God. He loves Jesus.

00:37:04.530 --> 00:37:08.369
But he still is who he is. Yeah. Blackie Lawless

00:37:08.369 --> 00:37:10.590
is another one, too. I mean, he came from much

00:37:10.590 --> 00:37:14.159
darker origins. Yeah. There's a lot of examples

00:37:14.159 --> 00:37:18.780
like that. So, yeah, I think Mahomes can be that

00:37:18.780 --> 00:37:22.139
guy where he still has his wild, savage animal

00:37:22.139 --> 00:37:24.980
side. Where I think her cousins, people don't

00:37:24.980 --> 00:37:27.300
view him as a guy that will hit you in the face,

00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:29.219
spit on you and go, by the way, I just prayed

00:37:29.219 --> 00:37:33.019
for you. Yeah. You're lying on the field bloody.

00:37:33.099 --> 00:37:35.179
I'm going to pray for you, but don't fuck with

00:37:35.179 --> 00:37:39.360
me again. That would kind of mess with your head,

00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:42.039
though. Yeah, yeah. I'm very sorry I had to do

00:37:42.039 --> 00:37:44.059
this, but you were up against me. You were my

00:37:44.059 --> 00:37:46.019
opponent, and I had to destroy you in front of

00:37:46.019 --> 00:37:48.059
everybody. I hope you understand that. And I

00:37:48.059 --> 00:37:51.179
will do it again. Yes. It's like the equivalent

00:37:51.179 --> 00:37:54.059
of like I was going to. I laugh my ass off about

00:37:54.059 --> 00:37:55.760
songs that go through your head when you're beating

00:37:55.760 --> 00:37:58.019
someone up. Yes. And I forgot which one it was

00:37:58.019 --> 00:38:00.460
where I said, you pick up the guy's face, you

00:38:00.460 --> 00:38:03.699
turn it around, and you make him look you in

00:38:03.699 --> 00:38:05.079
the face and go, you know why you're getting

00:38:05.079 --> 00:38:10.019
this, don't you? I watch too much TV. Are you

00:38:10.019 --> 00:38:12.460
learning your lesson? Do you know why this happened?

00:38:12.619 --> 00:38:14.579
Otherwise, I'm just wearing myself out for nothing.

00:38:14.739 --> 00:38:16.619
I know your teeth are kind of loose right now,

00:38:16.639 --> 00:38:20.840
but tell me why this happened. What was that?

00:38:22.340 --> 00:38:27.440
Okay, now you're going to get it. Okay. Yeah,

00:38:27.460 --> 00:38:29.659
fuck. All right. That's what we do here. We do.

00:38:29.719 --> 00:38:32.500
We sidetrack and go into shit that has nothing

00:38:32.500 --> 00:38:34.599
to do with anything. There's about five different

00:38:34.599 --> 00:38:36.599
squirrels in my head, and every one of them is

00:38:36.599 --> 00:38:39.940
on crack. Same here. Same here. And so this is

00:38:39.940 --> 00:38:44.079
what you get. This is a sports show. And kind

00:38:44.079 --> 00:38:46.179
of everything else. Yeah, yeah. This is everything.

00:38:46.179 --> 00:38:47.800
Kind of wherever our bizarre stream of consciousness

00:38:47.800 --> 00:38:50.320
takes us. You know what? I mean, actually, I

00:38:50.320 --> 00:38:53.159
mean, we are two douchebags. True. Right? True.

00:38:53.280 --> 00:38:58.090
And we have one microphone. Yes. Hence the name.

00:38:58.210 --> 00:39:00.269
Hey, we've kept that all the way through, just

00:39:00.269 --> 00:39:02.230
one microphone. That's right, yeah. We never

00:39:02.230 --> 00:39:06.210
went to two. No? No. We feel that we get a certain

00:39:06.210 --> 00:39:08.510
anger having to share the microphone. Yeah, we

00:39:08.510 --> 00:39:10.429
lean in and see each other's dental hygiene.

00:39:14.869 --> 00:39:17.929
I'm sorry. Sorry to give you that image. Time

00:39:17.929 --> 00:39:20.630
out. Roughing the listener. Too much information.

00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:27.099
Okay, should the Jets hire Russell Wilson? No.

00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:30.840
No. Russell Wilson is a problem. Yep, obviously.

00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:35.420
Even if you can get out from under eventually

00:39:35.420 --> 00:39:39.360
that gigantic cap hit or salary or whatever he

00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:42.460
carries around with him, I still don't know that

00:39:42.460 --> 00:39:44.820
Russell Wilson is that guy. I've watched him

00:39:44.820 --> 00:39:47.239
play, and he plays well. He's got a lot of talent.

00:39:47.300 --> 00:39:49.380
But there's just something about him that seems

00:39:49.380 --> 00:39:52.730
like if the – If it comes down to it, he's going

00:39:52.730 --> 00:39:55.150
to get pissed off and take care of himself and

00:39:55.150 --> 00:39:58.349
fuck the team. I agree. He just gives me that

00:39:58.349 --> 00:40:02.250
impression. Obviously, because look at some of

00:40:02.250 --> 00:40:05.670
the wording that doesn't say he's a fucking problem,

00:40:05.849 --> 00:40:09.079
but it says he's a fucking problem. Yeah. The

00:40:09.079 --> 00:40:12.420
wording means everything. It's lawyered up. It's

00:40:12.420 --> 00:40:15.059
like, well, we felt we should probably go in

00:40:15.059 --> 00:40:18.460
a different direction. We feel that Wilson has

00:40:18.460 --> 00:40:21.619
different goals and objectives in life, and that's

00:40:21.619 --> 00:40:24.719
fine. We're all different. What it means is he's

00:40:24.719 --> 00:40:26.440
being a fucking dickhead and he's worried about

00:40:26.440 --> 00:40:29.159
money and stats. I mean, how they word stuff.

00:40:29.420 --> 00:40:33.480
And then if someone calls him, I go, what? I

00:40:33.480 --> 00:40:37.500
didn't say anything wrong. Technically, no. True.

00:40:37.900 --> 00:40:39.800
It's just like people taking Jakey Lee out of

00:40:39.800 --> 00:40:42.659
context. You know, he said that technically his

00:40:42.659 --> 00:40:44.500
stuff was harder to play than Randy Rhoads. He

00:40:44.500 --> 00:40:47.800
was correct. Was it better? I don't think so.

00:40:47.980 --> 00:40:51.059
No, no. But, you know, he was more into chords

00:40:51.059 --> 00:40:54.019
and hitting the strings, where Randy is more

00:40:54.019 --> 00:40:58.039
composition and fast and hitting the scale. Here's

00:40:58.039 --> 00:41:01.659
another example. Most people know that Frank

00:41:01.659 --> 00:41:06.340
Zappa was all about complex. Well -written music.

00:41:06.699 --> 00:41:12.159
And he was very intelligent when it came to composing,

00:41:12.159 --> 00:41:14.559
arranging. And look at his songs. He surrounded

00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:17.980
himself with the best musicians available. When

00:41:17.980 --> 00:41:21.219
he signed the Alice Cooper Group back in 1969

00:41:21.219 --> 00:41:23.940
to his straight label, the Alice Cooper Group

00:41:23.940 --> 00:41:25.940
was pretty awful. I mean, they really couldn't

00:41:25.940 --> 00:41:29.139
play. He saw the talent. And one of the things

00:41:29.139 --> 00:41:32.099
he said was, your songs are so unusual and different,

00:41:32.179 --> 00:41:35.469
it would take me a week. to teach my band how

00:41:35.469 --> 00:41:37.929
to play this stuff because it's just so different.

00:41:38.449 --> 00:41:42.610
And that was a thing in that when you don't go

00:41:42.610 --> 00:41:44.989
the expected ways, you don't have to be super

00:41:44.989 --> 00:41:48.010
talented or super amazing. You're different enough

00:41:48.010 --> 00:41:50.250
that you're like, whoa, this guy's cool. Yeah,

00:41:50.309 --> 00:41:52.750
living within your means means so much in music.

00:41:52.789 --> 00:41:56.110
I mean, look at Poison. Yeah. Okay, look at Motley

00:41:56.110 --> 00:41:59.369
Crue. Yeah. They were nothing special. Yeah.

00:42:00.230 --> 00:42:03.360
Now, Mick Mars is pretty precise. Yeah. He is

00:42:03.360 --> 00:42:07.420
not sloppy, but he's playing notes. ACDC is a

00:42:07.420 --> 00:42:09.840
greater example. Oh, yeah. Besides the leads

00:42:09.840 --> 00:42:12.260
of Angus Young. Yeah. Angus Young is a fucking

00:42:12.260 --> 00:42:15.780
fantastic lead. But the rhythm parts are real

00:42:15.780 --> 00:42:18.199
easy. Yeah, real easy. I mean, I can play just

00:42:18.199 --> 00:42:20.820
about any ACDC song. I can play the rhythm parts,

00:42:20.880 --> 00:42:23.300
and I'm not a very good guitar player. Living

00:42:23.300 --> 00:42:25.920
within your means is that right there. And although

00:42:25.920 --> 00:42:28.920
I heard that Malcolm was a much better player

00:42:28.920 --> 00:42:32.269
than that. But he did what fit the song. He did

00:42:32.269 --> 00:42:34.889
what sounded like them. He didn't need to go

00:42:34.889 --> 00:42:37.429
any further. But anyhow. All right. Will the

00:42:37.429 --> 00:42:40.030
Eagles be back in the Super Bowl again next season?

00:42:41.010 --> 00:42:43.250
Next year? They went two out of three, and they

00:42:43.250 --> 00:42:45.530
won one of them. That's not too bad. Yeah, I

00:42:45.530 --> 00:42:47.190
really don't see the Eagles. I think there's

00:42:47.190 --> 00:42:49.030
been enough change and enough people catching

00:42:49.030 --> 00:42:52.210
up that I don't see the Eagles in the next Super

00:42:52.210 --> 00:42:55.809
Bowl. What about the Chiefs? I'm going to say

00:42:55.809 --> 00:42:59.170
no. I'm going to give them about a 30 % chance.

00:42:59.599 --> 00:43:01.519
Yeah, I mean, I love him, and I'd love to see

00:43:01.519 --> 00:43:04.159
him go back because Kelsey, this is most likely,

00:43:04.179 --> 00:43:06.460
I'm pretty sure, his final year, and he wants

00:43:06.460 --> 00:43:09.119
to win another. I would love to see that, but,

00:43:09.179 --> 00:43:12.679
I mean. God, I hope Kelsey plays better next

00:43:12.679 --> 00:43:15.400
year because he was just a shadow of his former

00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:17.099
self this year. There's more going on somewhere.

00:43:17.380 --> 00:43:19.960
There's more going on because he was distracted,

00:43:19.980 --> 00:43:22.360
and he admitted some of that, too. He even said

00:43:22.360 --> 00:43:26.239
something to that. So whatever it is, he's fucking

00:43:26.239 --> 00:43:28.710
figured it out. Because he's taking too big of

00:43:28.710 --> 00:43:31.570
a paycheck to not have it figured out. It's interesting

00:43:31.570 --> 00:43:35.070
that all of his career so far, Kelsey has had

00:43:35.070 --> 00:43:37.730
football and professional football, and he's

00:43:37.730 --> 00:43:40.570
had a girlfriend here and there. But football's

00:43:40.570 --> 00:43:43.170
kind of been the center of his life. And now

00:43:43.170 --> 00:43:46.210
it's not. He met Taylor, and he's got introduced

00:43:46.210 --> 00:43:49.269
to her way of living and all of her situations

00:43:49.269 --> 00:43:51.349
and the things she gets to do and the things

00:43:51.349 --> 00:43:53.090
he can do when he's with her. And he's like,

00:43:53.190 --> 00:43:55.809
there is so much more to life than football.

00:43:56.590 --> 00:43:59.550
And I think he got a real wake -up call. And

00:43:59.550 --> 00:44:01.789
last season, he was probably thinking a lot.

00:44:01.829 --> 00:44:04.789
He was like, ugh, I hurt. This isn't going well.

00:44:05.369 --> 00:44:07.949
If I wasn't playing, I could be on, you know,

00:44:07.949 --> 00:44:10.210
doing something new with Taylor, you know, eating

00:44:10.210 --> 00:44:12.250
at a restaurant, flying on a plane, whatever.

00:44:12.389 --> 00:44:14.110
It was probably eating at him, thinking like,

00:44:14.130 --> 00:44:17.530
I'm giving up all of that to do this. But at

00:44:17.530 --> 00:44:20.929
the end of the season, when ultimately they did

00:44:20.929 --> 00:44:23.280
not get their goal done. He had a bad taste in

00:44:23.280 --> 00:44:25.219
his mouth. They reverted back to footballism.

00:44:25.219 --> 00:44:26.639
And he goes, I'm going to do one more year and

00:44:26.639 --> 00:44:29.619
we're going to win. Yeah, I think last season

00:44:29.619 --> 00:44:32.960
was needed for Kelsey to regain his drive. I

00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:34.500
agree. And I think he's got one year's worth

00:44:34.500 --> 00:44:36.619
of drive left. And I think it's going to rebound.

00:44:36.780 --> 00:44:38.800
I think he'll have a 1 ,000 -yard season. Maybe

00:44:38.800 --> 00:44:42.340
1 ,050, maybe 1 ,032. Yeah. But I think he's

00:44:42.340 --> 00:44:44.559
going to have a final 1 ,000 -yard season. But

00:44:44.559 --> 00:44:46.360
as far as the Super Bowl goes, yeah, they'll

00:44:46.360 --> 00:44:47.940
make it into playoffs. Yeah, they'll make it

00:44:47.940 --> 00:44:51.130
well into it. Jeez, think of everything that

00:44:51.130 --> 00:44:52.909
had to happen the last two years for them to

00:44:52.909 --> 00:44:55.309
be in it. Just to be in it. From the Raiders

00:44:55.309 --> 00:44:57.789
loss Christmas Day, the famous one that slapped

00:44:57.789 --> 00:45:00.489
them in the face, and they promptly won 18 games

00:45:00.489 --> 00:45:03.590
in a row after that. And the game they lost,

00:45:03.630 --> 00:45:05.250
they didn't really give a shit about. And then

00:45:05.250 --> 00:45:07.670
the other game, they didn't play. They put the

00:45:07.670 --> 00:45:11.590
backups in. But the game they lost to the Bills,

00:45:11.690 --> 00:45:15.269
they were supposed to, and they knew it. It wasn't

00:45:15.269 --> 00:45:17.570
rigged. I'm not saying this. It was a script

00:45:17.570 --> 00:45:20.489
in their head. Yeah. It's like, okay, Josh Allen's

00:45:20.489 --> 00:45:23.809
going to pull out a miracle and let him. He's

00:45:23.809 --> 00:45:26.090
not going to do it in the playoffs. Yeah. Playoffs.

00:45:26.389 --> 00:45:29.369
And that's kind of a smart strategy for the Chiefs

00:45:29.369 --> 00:45:31.849
is to let the Bills show you everything they

00:45:31.849 --> 00:45:35.969
got. Yeah, it's not really letting them win by

00:45:35.969 --> 00:45:38.210
any means. The Bills are a great team. But what

00:45:38.210 --> 00:45:40.969
it is is something in their head that says, we

00:45:40.969 --> 00:45:44.130
don't care about this game. They do. They keep

00:45:44.130 --> 00:45:46.130
getting beat up in the playoffs by us, and they

00:45:46.130 --> 00:45:48.719
want to smash us. So if they do, they do. We'll

00:45:48.719 --> 00:45:51.000
see them again. And they did. It's kind of like

00:45:51.000 --> 00:45:53.820
a preseason game. Preseason, you don't care to

00:45:53.820 --> 00:45:56.099
win, but you want to see what your team is capable

00:45:56.099 --> 00:45:58.380
of. This was the opposite. They wanted to see

00:45:58.380 --> 00:46:00.179
what the Bills were capable of. Yes, and I'm

00:46:00.179 --> 00:46:03.320
pretty sure they had people. They probably hired

00:46:03.320 --> 00:46:06.139
10 extra analyzers to fucking go over everything,

00:46:06.239 --> 00:46:08.320
all the data. So, yeah, you know what? And it

00:46:08.320 --> 00:46:10.599
worked. And, you know, the fun thing nowadays

00:46:10.599 --> 00:46:14.840
with all these sophisticated cameras and AI is

00:46:14.840 --> 00:46:17.360
they can have a camera trained on Josh Allen

00:46:17.360 --> 00:46:20.059
from the moment he gets to play to the moment

00:46:20.059 --> 00:46:22.500
he gets up to the line. And they can analyze

00:46:22.500 --> 00:46:25.619
his body language. And eventually they can figure

00:46:25.619 --> 00:46:28.260
out what play was called based on his body language.

00:46:28.599 --> 00:46:34.400
AI! No, I know that. And I saw several articles

00:46:34.400 --> 00:46:37.019
that kind of didn't allude to it, actually really

00:46:37.019 --> 00:46:40.260
said it. I got one for you. Every time I put

00:46:40.260 --> 00:46:42.739
in podcast subjects, because sometimes they hit

00:46:42.739 --> 00:46:45.320
gold. Most of the times it's bullshit. But sometimes

00:46:45.320 --> 00:46:49.179
they hit gold on some subjects. Gemini keeps

00:46:49.179 --> 00:46:52.989
trying to write the whole thing for me. And I'm

00:46:52.989 --> 00:46:57.269
like, no. And it's not bad. I mean, it's something

00:46:57.269 --> 00:47:01.110
I could listen to. I mean, it's actually clever.

00:47:01.269 --> 00:47:03.590
It made a couple of ha -ha's in there. That's

00:47:03.590 --> 00:47:06.050
what's going on now. I mean, I'm pretty sure

00:47:06.050 --> 00:47:08.389
there's a lot of shows and podcasts where it

00:47:08.389 --> 00:47:11.010
writes everything. Yeah, and I've seen a lot

00:47:11.010 --> 00:47:14.289
of YouTube videos that the script was written

00:47:14.289 --> 00:47:18.619
by AI and then it was read by AI. Because it's

00:47:18.619 --> 00:47:21.360
easy to tell because they'll mispronounce common

00:47:21.360 --> 00:47:25.460
words or they'll get the emphasis wrong. Yeah,

00:47:25.579 --> 00:47:27.480
yeah. Like Xavier Worthy, who I'm getting ready

00:47:27.480 --> 00:47:30.659
to go into and call like X -Xavier or something

00:47:30.659 --> 00:47:32.699
like that. You know, everyone knows it's Xavier.

00:47:32.739 --> 00:47:35.480
Everyone knows it's not Xavier. But that's the

00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:38.699
way like some AI would perceive it. Yeah. You

00:47:38.699 --> 00:47:40.760
know, the English language is such a tough language

00:47:40.760 --> 00:47:43.820
because we don't have rules really. No, no. People

00:47:43.820 --> 00:47:46.809
come up and go. That's not, my last name is not

00:47:46.809 --> 00:47:50.250
Jones, it's Jonas. What? Well, it's spelled like

00:47:50.250 --> 00:47:52.269
Jones. No, no, no, that was a mispronunciation

00:47:52.269 --> 00:47:54.170
from everybody else, and actually it's the same

00:47:54.170 --> 00:47:56.949
name. Yeah, the inconsistency of the rules really

00:47:56.949 --> 00:47:59.510
screws up AI. Yes, and they don't know how to

00:47:59.510 --> 00:48:01.690
do it. Yeah, and then the simple stuff gets past

00:48:01.690 --> 00:48:04.210
them. It doesn't understand pupils either, you

00:48:04.210 --> 00:48:06.489
notice that? Yeah. It does not understand eye

00:48:06.489 --> 00:48:09.849
pupils. Anyhow, what? Yeah, and then, what was

00:48:09.849 --> 00:48:13.480
the other thing? There's another common mistake

00:48:13.480 --> 00:48:15.860
AI makes is with hands. Oh, yeah, yeah, they'll

00:48:15.860 --> 00:48:18.500
either elongate it or not there. It's getting

00:48:18.500 --> 00:48:20.980
better. If you spend the time and the money for

00:48:20.980 --> 00:48:23.340
a really good, really good one, it can come up

00:48:23.340 --> 00:48:25.099
with something that looks pretty realistic, but

00:48:25.099 --> 00:48:27.519
there's so many of them. There's deep fakes that

00:48:27.519 --> 00:48:29.840
are just insanely good, and you can't really

00:48:29.840 --> 00:48:33.500
tell, which is scary. All right, next one. Xavier

00:48:33.500 --> 00:48:36.880
Worthy, if he stays healthy, what will his yards

00:48:36.880 --> 00:48:41.150
and touchdowns look like next season? I'm gonna

00:48:41.150 --> 00:48:48.750
say close to a thousand yards and double -digit

00:48:48.750 --> 00:48:52.760
touch maybe 12 I'm going to say 14 to 1 ,500

00:48:52.760 --> 00:48:55.099
yards. Oh, nice. And I'm going to say probably

00:48:55.099 --> 00:48:57.679
18 touchdowns. Well, I like your idea better.

00:48:57.840 --> 00:49:01.760
Well, I saw some stuff last year, some moments

00:49:01.760 --> 00:49:04.360
of brilliance, of him getting open ridiculously,

00:49:04.460 --> 00:49:07.219
and I've seen him catching balls ridiculously.

00:49:07.500 --> 00:49:09.340
Yeah, true. You put both of those together without

00:49:09.340 --> 00:49:11.460
injury, and that guy is going to be insane. He's

00:49:11.460 --> 00:49:13.260
going to be better than Tyreek Hill, in my opinion.

00:49:13.460 --> 00:49:15.519
I mean, but anything can happen. You get injured,

00:49:15.719 --> 00:49:17.659
whatever. Well, I guess I was thinking more that

00:49:17.659 --> 00:49:20.420
Mahomes would be spreading it around. That does

00:49:20.420 --> 00:49:23.159
make sense. If he's your hot hand, you go to

00:49:23.159 --> 00:49:25.179
him. I know this, and Hollywood Brown's going

00:49:25.179 --> 00:49:27.739
to get some, and Kelsey's going to get some.

00:49:28.000 --> 00:49:31.800
Juju's coming back. Juju and Rasheed Rice, they're

00:49:31.800 --> 00:49:33.739
all going to get theirs. But Xavier, what makes

00:49:33.739 --> 00:49:35.739
him different is he's going to get 60 -yard chunks.

00:49:36.059 --> 00:49:38.000
Oh, that's true. He's going to be your deep play

00:49:38.000 --> 00:49:41.719
guy. Yeah, and he obviously can do it. I mean,

00:49:41.780 --> 00:49:44.519
actually, deep play is his game. That's where

00:49:44.519 --> 00:49:46.840
he gets so much separation to where it looks

00:49:46.840 --> 00:49:49.500
ridiculous. Is that guy covering him or is that

00:49:49.500 --> 00:49:52.500
guy covering him? Yeah. I don't know. Yeah, if

00:49:52.500 --> 00:49:54.760
you've got a tenth of a second advantage on a

00:49:54.760 --> 00:49:57.920
guy speed -wise, the longer you run, the more

00:49:57.920 --> 00:50:00.300
separation you've got. And as long as you've

00:50:00.300 --> 00:50:01.820
got enough field ahead of you, you can get way

00:50:01.820 --> 00:50:04.219
out ahead. Yeah. And we know Mahomes can throw

00:50:04.219 --> 00:50:08.179
it as far as he wants. Yeah. Yeah, and he's accurate

00:50:08.179 --> 00:50:11.940
too. And will Rashi Rice, barring his suspension,

00:50:12.119 --> 00:50:15.300
be a legit 1 ,200 -yard or more receiver? Now,

00:50:15.340 --> 00:50:18.280
he hit 1 ,000 yards pretty much. His first season.

00:50:18.400 --> 00:50:21.320
Yeah. He looked fantastic. He gets open in the

00:50:21.320 --> 00:50:23.500
flat really well. He's also a deep threat if

00:50:23.500 --> 00:50:27.400
you put him in that situation. If he doesn't

00:50:27.400 --> 00:50:31.300
get suspended or hurt, is he a 1 ,200 -yard legit?

00:50:32.260 --> 00:50:34.820
Not in his first season back because he's been

00:50:34.820 --> 00:50:37.039
out of football for a while. I'm saying around

00:50:37.039 --> 00:50:39.980
1 ,000, maybe 950. Yeah. But you're going to

00:50:39.980 --> 00:50:42.500
see towards the end of the season, which is great.

00:50:42.940 --> 00:50:44.739
If he doesn't get injured or suspended. You're

00:50:44.739 --> 00:50:47.019
right, yeah. He'll start accelerating towards

00:50:47.019 --> 00:50:48.800
the playoffs. Yeah, and it'll be where people

00:50:48.800 --> 00:50:52.119
are like, playoffs? You got me on that one. It's

00:50:52.119 --> 00:50:55.320
going to be the classic people go, hey, he just

00:50:55.320 --> 00:50:57.179
never came back from an injury, right? And then

00:50:57.179 --> 00:50:58.559
all of a sudden, you know, about, I don't know,

00:50:58.639 --> 00:51:02.059
the 16th game is like, did you see what I did?

00:51:02.440 --> 00:51:05.300
Yeah. Because everyone's so quick to do that.

00:51:05.440 --> 00:51:07.880
Yeah. Okay, and then finally, and then we can

00:51:07.880 --> 00:51:10.119
go into grade cards after I take a piss. Okay.

00:51:10.880 --> 00:51:14.409
Chiefs signed. Former 49er, running back, Aliyah

00:51:14.409 --> 00:51:20.210
Mitchell, 201, your deal. Good, bad, or depends?

00:51:21.130 --> 00:51:23.670
You said he's a linebacker? No, no, not running

00:51:23.670 --> 00:51:25.510
back. Did I say linebacker? I'm sorry, running

00:51:25.510 --> 00:51:27.929
back. There was noise. I couldn't hear. Oh, okay.

00:51:29.349 --> 00:51:32.769
Yeah, they've signed Hunt. Yeah, Hunt is a great

00:51:32.769 --> 00:51:34.650
signing. I'm glad they did. You and I were both

00:51:34.650 --> 00:51:36.190
for that. We're like, dude, you bring that guy

00:51:36.190 --> 00:51:39.409
back. He's got a hunger. He still has a hunger.

00:51:39.429 --> 00:51:41.980
They haven't won it. He wants that. I would say

00:51:41.980 --> 00:51:47.139
your backfield should be Hunt number one, P.

00:51:47.219 --> 00:51:49.460
Ryan number two, and then this. No, P. Ryan signed

00:51:49.460 --> 00:51:52.139
with Cincinnati. Oh, he's gone again? P. Ryan

00:51:52.139 --> 00:51:53.980
went back to his old team. He went back to, okay,

00:51:54.139 --> 00:51:55.960
never mind then. They saw the error of their

00:51:55.960 --> 00:52:00.780
ways. Yeah. You're welcome, Cincy. Yeah. So,

00:52:00.800 --> 00:52:03.019
yeah, okay, this guy could be number two. Hunt's

00:52:03.019 --> 00:52:05.820
going to be P. Ryan this year, I'm pretty sure.

00:52:06.519 --> 00:52:08.969
Anyhow. I really don't know that you want to

00:52:08.969 --> 00:52:11.690
bring Pacheco back. I don't like him. Even if

00:52:11.690 --> 00:52:14.769
he's healthy, I think you want to move on to

00:52:14.769 --> 00:52:18.050
somebody else who's – As a player, I don't like

00:52:18.050 --> 00:52:21.829
him. Yeah. Okay. I never was convinced on him

00:52:21.829 --> 00:52:25.050
ever. Everybody else is, oh, God, that guy's

00:52:25.050 --> 00:52:27.809
just insane. I never saw a 1 ,000 -yard season

00:52:27.809 --> 00:52:30.590
out of him. No. I mean, he busts off some amazing

00:52:30.590 --> 00:52:32.789
runs, but next time he gets stuffed. He gets

00:52:32.789 --> 00:52:34.590
stuffed for like 10 yards, but the difference

00:52:34.590 --> 00:52:39.099
between him and Barry – Barry Sanders is. The

00:52:39.099 --> 00:52:40.679
difference between those two is Barry Sanders

00:52:40.679 --> 00:52:43.119
had legs the size of fucking tree trunks. Yes.

00:52:43.400 --> 00:52:46.619
Okay, and he could pull off. He was still fast,

00:52:46.739 --> 00:52:48.900
too. He was so maneuverable, too. Yeah, he would

00:52:48.900 --> 00:52:51.420
get a 60 -yard run, and then he'd lose five yards.

00:52:51.739 --> 00:52:54.159
And you're like, I don't care. But Checo would

00:52:54.159 --> 00:52:56.320
get a five -yard run and lose seven yards. And

00:52:56.320 --> 00:52:58.500
then since Checo's not an every -down back, that

00:52:58.500 --> 00:53:00.659
means somebody else has to come in and dig you

00:53:00.659 --> 00:53:02.940
out of that hole he put you in. I think Mitchell

00:53:02.940 --> 00:53:06.360
quietly might be that guy. Yeah. And, you know,

00:53:06.400 --> 00:53:09.280
I like Pacheco too, but I don't think he's good

00:53:09.280 --> 00:53:10.780
for his team. On the depth chart, he might go.

00:53:10.780 --> 00:53:12.820
He's going to take a hit back, I think, on the

00:53:12.820 --> 00:53:16.119
depth chart. Yeah, third string. Yeah. Yep. You

00:53:16.119 --> 00:53:18.219
and I are both in agreement on that. And, listen,

00:53:18.300 --> 00:53:21.099
man, we love Pacheco as a human. Great guy. But

00:53:21.099 --> 00:53:24.119
the problem is, I mean, his body is just not

00:53:24.119 --> 00:53:26.480
designed for that brutal running back that he

00:53:26.480 --> 00:53:28.659
tries to be. Yeah. Yeah, we've seen the injuries

00:53:28.659 --> 00:53:32.019
already. One of these injuries coming up is going

00:53:32.019 --> 00:53:34.599
to be career -ending. If he was finesse and he

00:53:34.599 --> 00:53:37.079
dodged and wiggled his way around, that would

00:53:37.079 --> 00:53:38.840
be completely different. And could catch the

00:53:38.840 --> 00:53:40.280
ball reliably. And could catch the ball reliably.

00:53:40.460 --> 00:53:42.940
That's a great point. Yeah. But he's not. No.

00:53:43.300 --> 00:53:46.000
And I wouldn't doubt if he's out again next year

00:53:46.000 --> 00:53:49.079
on some injury. Yeah. And, you know, you used

00:53:49.079 --> 00:53:50.639
to be able to get away with a running back who

00:53:50.639 --> 00:53:52.699
could just run. But now you need him to catch.

00:53:52.699 --> 00:53:55.400
And you need him to block. No, no, no. Yeah.

00:53:55.440 --> 00:53:58.639
And the blocking, I think, is another thing.

00:53:59.400 --> 00:54:01.599
you're going to have an upgrade with somebody

00:54:01.599 --> 00:54:04.340
else. Absolutely. I mean, if you've got an empty

00:54:04.340 --> 00:54:06.559
backfield, you know it's a pass. But you keep

00:54:06.559 --> 00:54:09.380
the running back in there to block, and now the

00:54:09.380 --> 00:54:11.000
other team's like, oh, they could still run.

00:54:11.179 --> 00:54:12.739
I think that might have been part of their problem

00:54:12.739 --> 00:54:15.739
on certain situations this year, this last season,

00:54:15.840 --> 00:54:20.480
was the lack of being able to block. So, anyhow,

00:54:20.739 --> 00:54:26.679
let's take a pause. I've got this. And we'll

00:54:26.679 --> 00:54:29.280
come back with some great cards. We'll do it.

00:54:32.679 --> 00:54:36.320
All right. Sports bastards continue, but of course

00:54:36.320 --> 00:54:37.940
you wouldn't know that because all he did was

00:54:37.940 --> 00:54:41.659
pause. Yes. But 9 ,000 things happened, and it's

00:54:41.659 --> 00:54:46.420
actually four days later. Yes. Yes. Yep. And

00:54:46.420 --> 00:54:49.420
actually, yeah, we're still the same, though.

00:54:49.460 --> 00:54:50.880
We've been sitting here the whole time, and no

00:54:50.880 --> 00:54:54.699
one questioned it. It's pretty interesting. However,

00:54:54.760 --> 00:54:57.159
we did have a transient offer us food. Yeah,

00:54:57.239 --> 00:54:59.780
that was very nice. Yeah, it was not Miss Golfenstein.

00:54:59.940 --> 00:55:02.460
No. No, she still does not like us. No, no. And

00:55:02.460 --> 00:55:05.079
she hates that wall. Yeah. One of these days,

00:55:05.099 --> 00:55:07.380
we ought to disguise ourselves as the wall she

00:55:07.380 --> 00:55:08.960
hates. Oh, yeah. See if we can get her to yell

00:55:08.960 --> 00:55:11.079
at us. Oh, that'd be great. Wouldn't that be

00:55:11.079 --> 00:55:13.360
fun? Yeah, yeah. I mean, right now, it kind of

00:55:13.360 --> 00:55:15.900
hurts me. The wall gets all the attention, and

00:55:15.900 --> 00:55:19.159
she just kind of glosses over us like, oh, oh,

00:55:19.199 --> 00:55:21.559
there's those. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Oh, but that

00:55:21.559 --> 00:55:24.250
wall. Yeah. Yeah. That wall must really piss

00:55:24.250 --> 00:55:26.190
her off. I'm telling you, I think that wall did

00:55:26.190 --> 00:55:28.630
something pretty fucking shady, I'm telling you.

00:55:28.650 --> 00:55:30.530
I don't know if it stole her bank account or

00:55:30.530 --> 00:55:33.469
touched her wrong or something. That wall can't

00:55:33.469 --> 00:55:37.210
be trusted, obviously. That wall touched me inappropriately.

00:55:37.730 --> 00:55:41.510
Can you point out the part that it touched me?

00:55:43.110 --> 00:55:46.750
All right, okay. Show me on this cabbage patch

00:55:46.750 --> 00:55:55.769
doll where the wall touched you. Okay. What was

00:55:55.769 --> 00:55:59.309
that? Oh, that reminds me. You know we have a

00:55:59.309 --> 00:56:01.010
Goodwill Center right down the road from us on

00:56:01.010 --> 00:56:03.150
State Line, right? Oh, yeah. You know there was

00:56:03.150 --> 00:56:05.670
a guy in there that he can only grunt. I'm not

00:56:05.670 --> 00:56:08.190
joking. Oh, wow. Oh, my God. It's so weird, too.

00:56:08.449 --> 00:56:10.469
Because the first time I went in there, I didn't

00:56:10.469 --> 00:56:12.289
know he was like that. I just thought he was

00:56:12.289 --> 00:56:15.969
in a bad mood. And then by the end of the conversation,

00:56:16.210 --> 00:56:18.550
it was still grunts, only not as angry sounding.

00:56:19.150 --> 00:56:21.949
Yeah. And I was like, hey, do you take dressers?

00:56:26.050 --> 00:56:30.510
Thumbs up, thumbs down. That's the only thing

00:56:30.510 --> 00:56:34.130
that makes Goodwill qualify as any kind of charity

00:56:34.130 --> 00:56:38.150
is that they hire mentally disabled people and

00:56:38.150 --> 00:56:40.250
pay them shit. And look, I don't think this guy

00:56:40.250 --> 00:56:42.030
could get another job and I'm happy for him and

00:56:42.030 --> 00:56:44.050
glad he does and I'm sure he's happy as hell

00:56:44.050 --> 00:56:46.809
and he can be productive. But that grunting thing

00:56:46.809 --> 00:56:51.529
is kind of disturbing. It is a little bit. I

00:56:51.529 --> 00:56:54.230
don't speak grunt. I'm sorry. And I like the

00:56:54.230 --> 00:56:56.309
guy. I have nothing against him. It's just so

00:56:56.309 --> 00:56:58.849
weird trying to talk to somebody that grunts.

00:56:58.949 --> 00:57:01.869
Yeah. So, anyhow. It's kind of like talking to

00:57:01.869 --> 00:57:04.690
your cat, and I'm not demeaning it. No. You don't

00:57:04.690 --> 00:57:05.969
really understand what they're saying. They're

00:57:05.969 --> 00:57:09.429
going meow, only he's going grunt. Yeah. It's

00:57:09.429 --> 00:57:14.050
like my son, Louis, speaks very rapidly and in

00:57:14.050 --> 00:57:17.659
kind of a monotone, and he rambles a bit. He

00:57:17.659 --> 00:57:21.159
could be on radio. Yeah, pretty much. But when

00:57:21.159 --> 00:57:23.960
we lived at home, I was able to understand him

00:57:23.960 --> 00:57:27.199
perfectly. But now that he lives, he's got his

00:57:27.199 --> 00:57:29.360
own place and he comes and visits, it takes me

00:57:29.360 --> 00:57:31.699
a minute to get back where I can understand Lewis

00:57:31.699 --> 00:57:34.239
speak. It's like, okay, hang on a second. I've

00:57:34.239 --> 00:57:36.219
got to readjust. And then I can understand him.

00:57:37.320 --> 00:57:40.360
It's part of his autism that he speaks so rapidly

00:57:40.360 --> 00:57:43.440
and in a monotone and not very loud. And it does

00:57:43.440 --> 00:57:45.960
take some time to get to the point where you

00:57:45.960 --> 00:57:47.690
can understand what he's talking about. I used

00:57:47.690 --> 00:57:50.369
to work in the Northeast a lot. Northeast, you

00:57:50.369 --> 00:57:53.469
know, as in America. Same thing. Oh, yeah. First

00:57:53.469 --> 00:57:55.530
couple of days I get there, I'm like, what? What?

00:57:55.949 --> 00:57:58.110
And finally I just got to acting like I understood.

00:57:58.190 --> 00:57:59.570
Oh, yeah, yeah, thank you. And I didn't know

00:57:59.570 --> 00:58:00.730
what it was. They could have said, you better

00:58:00.730 --> 00:58:02.429
run, there's a mass shooter. But I'm just going,

00:58:02.550 --> 00:58:06.730
oh, okay, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. But then after

00:58:06.730 --> 00:58:08.909
the third day, I'm like, I started understanding

00:58:08.909 --> 00:58:11.670
them. Yeah. So, anyhow. All right, we have some

00:58:11.670 --> 00:58:13.630
report cards to get to. So, do you want to start?

00:58:14.190 --> 00:58:16.429
all right my one on right on the top here is

00:58:16.429 --> 00:58:24.289
the buffalo bills buffalo bills they had an overall

00:58:24.289 --> 00:58:29.269
ranking of 23 out of 32. oh nice um the parts

00:58:29.269 --> 00:58:36.250
that were the big deal excuse me um i think they

00:58:36.250 --> 00:58:39.429
were i think one of them is having to pray to

00:58:39.429 --> 00:58:41.869
the josh allen statue That might be part of it.

00:58:41.869 --> 00:58:44.070
That was part of it. I was trying to see the

00:58:44.070 --> 00:58:46.750
rating. I think last year the rating was about

00:58:46.750 --> 00:58:50.050
to say, I said last year the players were frustrated

00:58:50.050 --> 00:58:52.849
that they are made to sit in the smaller seats

00:58:52.849 --> 00:58:55.530
during travel while the coaches and auxiliary

00:58:55.530 --> 00:58:57.929
staff sit in first class. Isn't that bullshit?

00:58:57.989 --> 00:59:00.269
Well, there you go. A problem right there. The

00:59:00.269 --> 00:59:02.329
players' dissatisfaction with this issue has

00:59:02.329 --> 00:59:05.210
grown with 65 % of the players saying they have

00:59:05.210 --> 00:59:07.929
insufficient space or discomfort when traveling

00:59:07.929 --> 00:59:11.280
to away games. Up. From 55 % last year. I got

00:59:11.280 --> 00:59:14.559
a question on that. 10 % worse. 10 % worse. Okay,

00:59:15.039 --> 00:59:17.639
if you were Sean McDermott, and obviously he

00:59:17.639 --> 00:59:19.639
knows something about it, wouldn't you suddenly

00:59:19.639 --> 00:59:23.380
go, this is not happening anymore? No, you coaches

00:59:23.380 --> 00:59:24.980
are going to sit in back and you'll let the players

00:59:24.980 --> 00:59:28.239
up here. Yeah, if it were up to me, I'd do that.

00:59:28.340 --> 00:59:31.699
I would too. As a gesture, like you guys are

00:59:31.699 --> 00:59:33.760
it. If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't be here.

00:59:33.920 --> 00:59:36.260
And there was a coach that made that change last

00:59:36.260 --> 00:59:39.210
year. He said, okay, coaches and staff, we're

00:59:39.210 --> 00:59:41.210
back in economy. Players are in first class.

00:59:41.389 --> 00:59:45.630
Yes. It sends a message. So anyhow, a giving

00:59:45.630 --> 00:59:51.969
message, a generous message that you need on

00:59:51.969 --> 00:59:54.969
a team. Sorry. The other issue that players asked

00:59:54.969 --> 00:59:57.730
to be fixed for this last year was they wanted

00:59:57.730 --> 00:59:59.809
an increase in the number of trainers and physical

00:59:59.809 --> 01:00:03.659
therapists in the training room. Even this year's

01:00:03.659 --> 01:00:05.940
survey, even more players expressed that the

01:00:05.940 --> 01:00:08.920
current staffing is inadequate. And these two

01:00:08.920 --> 01:00:11.480
relatively simple and inexpensive improvements

01:00:11.480 --> 01:00:14.480
have not been addressed by the club, which is

01:00:14.480 --> 01:00:16.840
probably why the head coach, Sean McDermott,

01:00:16.920 --> 01:00:19.559
and owner, Terry Pegula, dipped in the ratings

01:00:19.559 --> 01:00:21.420
from last year. So they're worse than last year.

01:00:22.280 --> 01:00:24.619
I don't know why they're not a little bit concerned

01:00:24.619 --> 01:00:26.500
about that, trying to do something different.

01:00:27.079 --> 01:00:29.460
Do they go to the owner and the owner says, absolutely

01:00:29.460 --> 01:00:31.880
not, fuck you? I don't know. Now, they rate.

01:00:32.429 --> 01:00:36.289
A's and B's in every single category. Wow. Except

01:00:36.289 --> 01:00:39.090
for training staff, where they got a C, and team

01:00:39.090 --> 01:00:42.690
travel, which the players rated an F -. Why in

01:00:42.690 --> 01:00:45.389
the world wouldn't they change that? Who knows?

01:00:45.630 --> 01:00:49.530
It's just weird. Maybe the owner probably thinks,

01:00:49.650 --> 01:00:51.610
well, this doesn't matter. I'm not spending the

01:00:51.610 --> 01:00:54.730
extra money. I'll bet you it's a focus and time

01:00:54.730 --> 01:00:57.670
thing. I'm not spending any time on this. I don't

01:00:57.670 --> 01:01:00.429
have enough. I don't know. Oh, well. So, you

01:01:00.429 --> 01:01:05.599
know, the coach. And the ownership, both had

01:01:05.599 --> 01:01:09.780
A's last year, now they're B. Oh, some of that's

01:01:09.780 --> 01:01:12.760
probably another playoff loss. Yeah, and the

01:01:12.760 --> 01:01:15.400
fact that these two issues have not been... Imagine

01:01:15.400 --> 01:01:17.920
you're the Buffalo Bills, and you're flying to

01:01:17.920 --> 01:01:20.059
Kansas City for a playoff game in Arrowhead.

01:01:20.239 --> 01:01:23.019
And you have to make that flight in economy,

01:01:23.260 --> 01:01:26.030
with your knees crammed up into your chin. while

01:01:26.030 --> 01:01:28.349
some little grunt who works in the front office

01:01:28.349 --> 01:01:31.110
is up there in first class having martinis. Yeah.

01:01:31.329 --> 01:01:33.510
How are you going to feel as a player thinking,

01:01:33.590 --> 01:01:36.070
I generate all this income and they're sticking

01:01:36.070 --> 01:01:38.610
me back here like this? How are you going to

01:01:38.610 --> 01:01:40.469
feel when you get to your destination? Yeah,

01:01:40.489 --> 01:01:42.590
you're going to feel like shit. We don't matter.

01:01:42.809 --> 01:01:45.630
Yeah. I understand where my place on the pecking

01:01:45.630 --> 01:01:47.730
order is. That little grunt who's up there running

01:01:47.730 --> 01:01:49.789
in first class means more to the team than me.

01:01:50.130 --> 01:01:54.059
Yeah. I just don't get it why these teams are

01:01:54.059 --> 01:01:57.099
cheaping out like this. I would address it. I

01:01:57.099 --> 01:01:59.679
would. Like, hey, you know, there's obviously

01:01:59.679 --> 01:02:01.059
a problem here. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been

01:02:01.059 --> 01:02:04.340
brought up like that. Okay, you want me to go

01:02:04.340 --> 01:02:06.840
through one now? Sure. Okay, this is the Los

01:02:06.840 --> 01:02:10.820
Angeles Rams, and they rank 21st overall. It's

01:02:10.820 --> 01:02:14.139
a little under half. Okay. Treatment of families.

01:02:14.300 --> 01:02:16.659
They got a grade D and they're 30th. I guess

01:02:16.659 --> 01:02:18.659
they're in the bottom third. Treatment of families

01:02:18.659 --> 01:02:21.659
is... I think it's so important. I know, and

01:02:21.659 --> 01:02:23.739
so many teams are so bad at it. Let me put it

01:02:23.739 --> 01:02:25.840
in perspective. Someone comes up to you and goes,

01:02:25.980 --> 01:02:30.079
Christopher, you're a stupid ass. Okay. Your

01:02:30.079 --> 01:02:34.679
mom's a stupid ass. What the fuck? It's normal.

01:02:35.059 --> 01:02:38.059
Your kid's a stupid ass. Oh, that's an even better

01:02:38.059 --> 01:02:42.599
one. Treatment of families means everything,

01:02:42.780 --> 01:02:45.380
and I can just put it like that, man. And, you

01:02:45.380 --> 01:02:49.159
know, I have friends that if they treated my

01:02:49.159 --> 01:02:51.199
wife like crap, they wouldn't be my friends anymore.

01:02:51.199 --> 01:02:54.199
Exactly. That's a great example, too. Yep. And

01:02:54.199 --> 01:02:56.659
with treatment of families, this is parents,

01:02:56.900 --> 01:02:59.679
kids, significant others, whether they be wife,

01:02:59.800 --> 01:03:02.079
girlfriend, longtime partner, whatever. These

01:03:02.079 --> 01:03:04.639
are the people you care about the most. And your

01:03:04.639 --> 01:03:07.260
team is crapping on them. Yeah. If I was a player,

01:03:07.380 --> 01:03:12.519
I mean, I would. I would definitely look at that

01:03:12.519 --> 01:03:14.820
and go, you know what, I don't really necessarily

01:03:14.820 --> 01:03:17.940
like that. Yeah. My family's going to be treated

01:03:17.940 --> 01:03:20.920
better if I go sign with that team. Yeah. It

01:03:20.920 --> 01:03:23.000
makes a difference when free agents come to visit.

01:03:23.000 --> 01:03:24.719
Yeah, that's right. Okay, next one, food and

01:03:24.719 --> 01:03:27.539
dining area. They got a C-, which is also important.

01:03:27.920 --> 01:03:32.119
Yeah. Why are you cheaping out on food? I don't

01:03:32.119 --> 01:03:41.510
get it. No, I don't get it either. Let's see.

01:03:43.309 --> 01:03:53.949
Okay, nutritionist, dietitian, B+. Yeah. I mean,

01:03:53.969 --> 01:03:57.070
a lot of teams are failing in the food and dining

01:03:57.070 --> 01:04:00.750
area and the nutrition and dietitian. I don't

01:04:00.750 --> 01:04:02.510
know if the teams are expecting the players to

01:04:02.510 --> 01:04:06.639
do that themselves. On dietitian, I could get

01:04:06.639 --> 01:04:10.059
by that because I think a lot of that's personal.

01:04:10.619 --> 01:04:15.639
It's a personal choice. Yeah, you have a diet

01:04:15.639 --> 01:04:20.079
that's designed for you. I think a good way to

01:04:20.079 --> 01:04:23.039
do it would be tell the players when they sign

01:04:23.039 --> 01:04:25.420
their contracts, we're paying you extra in this

01:04:25.420 --> 01:04:27.860
contract so you will get your own dietitian and

01:04:27.860 --> 01:04:29.860
diet plan. And then when you come to the facility,

01:04:30.039 --> 01:04:33.710
we will do our best to follow that for you. But

01:04:33.710 --> 01:04:36.710
you come up with it on your own. And we'll make

01:04:36.710 --> 01:04:38.710
every reasonable effort to provide that for you.

01:04:38.769 --> 01:04:40.969
That, to me, sounds like a smart way to do it.

01:04:41.010 --> 01:04:44.530
Yeah, same here. And, well, obviously they don't.

01:04:44.530 --> 01:04:46.070
Otherwise, I think they would have ranked higher.

01:04:46.250 --> 01:04:50.510
Yeah. Higher. Okay. Training staff, they got

01:04:50.510 --> 01:04:55.070
a B. Okay. It's all right. That means they did

01:04:55.070 --> 01:05:01.929
okay. Next is weight room. They got a C+. That,

01:05:02.090 --> 01:05:05.989
again, is personal, too. Players have their own

01:05:05.989 --> 01:05:08.530
weight rooms in their homes. I mean, look at

01:05:08.530 --> 01:05:10.590
Mahomes' house. You see some of the images. He

01:05:10.590 --> 01:05:12.750
has his own little partial football field. He

01:05:12.750 --> 01:05:18.110
does. That's amazing. Strength coaches, A-, that's

01:05:18.110 --> 01:05:21.530
a good one. Yeah. Team travel, they got a B.

01:05:22.210 --> 01:05:26.190
That's decent. Head coach, they got an A. They

01:05:26.190 --> 01:05:29.829
all love... I just said his name earlier. McVeigh?

01:05:30.070 --> 01:05:34.070
Yeah, Sean McVeigh. Is Peyton a V? Sean McVeigh.

01:05:34.190 --> 01:05:40.469
Peyton is in New Orleans? Denver. Denver. Ownership,

01:05:40.469 --> 01:05:44.469
they got a C. And they were a D, 30th out of

01:05:44.469 --> 01:05:51.469
32 teams on the treatment of families. Okay,

01:05:51.829 --> 01:05:56.440
taste of their team's food is 6. 8 .52 out of

01:05:56.440 --> 01:05:59.739
10. A ranking 28 out of 32. It's kind of like

01:05:59.739 --> 01:06:02.760
prison food. Yeah, they don't use spices. Yeah.

01:06:02.860 --> 01:06:04.760
I mean, hospital food's better than that these

01:06:04.760 --> 01:06:07.440
days. Oh, yeah. Yeah, hospital food's taking

01:06:07.440 --> 01:06:09.739
a real step up. It has. It really has. Yeah,

01:06:09.760 --> 01:06:11.639
it's actually really not hospital food anymore.

01:06:11.840 --> 01:06:14.059
It's like, it's decent. Yeah, it's like a nice

01:06:14.059 --> 01:06:18.059
diner. Yeah. Yeah. So... And I think that that

01:06:18.059 --> 01:06:20.420
was like years and years of people griping and

01:06:20.420 --> 01:06:22.719
putting stuff up on Google saying, hey, I love

01:06:22.719 --> 01:06:25.000
the hospital, but the food is horrible. And a

01:06:25.000 --> 01:06:26.980
lot of it getting returned uneaten because it's

01:06:26.980 --> 01:06:28.659
just garbage. Yeah, they're like, man, look,

01:06:28.780 --> 01:06:31.719
we just threw away five big barrels of food.

01:06:32.500 --> 01:06:35.139
Because nobody wants to eat it. Yep. And you

01:06:35.139 --> 01:06:37.440
can't recycle it. You can't give it to someone

01:06:37.440 --> 01:06:40.820
else. All right. They rate the freshness of their

01:06:40.820 --> 01:06:44.780
food 7 .29 out of 10, so not me. That's okay.

01:06:45.280 --> 01:06:47.900
Yeah, they picked their fucking grapes from up

01:06:47.900 --> 01:06:52.039
the road. Yeah. All right. The players rate their

01:06:52.039 --> 01:06:55.519
dining area 7 .3 out of 10. And believe it or

01:06:55.519 --> 01:06:59.880
not, a 7 .43 is 26 out of 32 NFL dining areas.

01:06:59.960 --> 01:07:02.619
So that means even though it's a passing grade,

01:07:02.840 --> 01:07:05.179
most of the other teams are better than that.

01:07:05.320 --> 01:07:08.159
Yeah. I've got one here on this team. They got

01:07:08.159 --> 01:07:12.500
a C, but that still put them dead last. Yeah,

01:07:12.599 --> 01:07:14.739
isn't that interesting because I guess everybody

01:07:14.739 --> 01:07:18.159
else is better at it. Yeah. I love the way they

01:07:18.159 --> 01:07:20.639
do that, the ranking, because that tells you

01:07:20.639 --> 01:07:22.400
pretty good about how they're doing on it for

01:07:22.400 --> 01:07:25.039
real. Yeah, it makes more sense. Next one, 82

01:07:25.039 --> 01:07:27.980
% of players report that they get an individualized

01:07:27.980 --> 01:07:30.400
nutrition plan. That's good. They got a B -plus

01:07:30.400 --> 01:07:33.719
on this. Yeah. Ranking the Rams 17 out of 32

01:07:33.719 --> 01:07:36.860
teams. Right in the middle. Yep. The players

01:07:36.860 --> 01:07:39.199
feel the team dietitian is very accessible at

01:07:39.199 --> 01:07:42.469
ranking of 13 out of 32. It makes sense in Los

01:07:42.469 --> 01:07:44.590
Angeles where everybody's into their own kind

01:07:44.590 --> 01:07:46.849
of diets. That's where a lot of the diets come

01:07:46.849 --> 01:07:50.309
from is L .A. Okay, on the last couple, I couldn't

01:07:50.309 --> 01:07:51.989
tell you what it was because it was cut off.

01:07:52.090 --> 01:07:55.670
Yeah. Okay, so locker room, C +, 19th out of

01:07:55.670 --> 01:08:00.030
32 teams. That's fair. 92 % of players feel they

01:08:00.030 --> 01:08:01.949
have enough room in their individual lockers,

01:08:01.969 --> 01:08:04.670
a ranking of 13 out of 32. So that's not too

01:08:04.670 --> 01:08:08.010
bad. 79 % of players feel the locker room size

01:08:08.010 --> 01:08:11.570
is adequate. ranking them 20 out of 32 teams.

01:08:12.610 --> 01:08:14.949
So even though they said it was adequate, they

01:08:14.949 --> 01:08:15.869
didn't get that good of a rank. Still in the

01:08:15.869 --> 01:08:20.850
bottom third. Yeah. Funny. Next one is a B, but

01:08:20.850 --> 01:08:25.210
I'll just go into everything. 93 % of Rams players

01:08:25.210 --> 01:08:27.829
feel they have enough full -time trainers, ranking

01:08:27.829 --> 01:08:30.850
them 11 out of 32 teams. Up for third? Yeah,

01:08:30.850 --> 01:08:33.949
up for third. 86 % of players feel they have

01:08:33.949 --> 01:08:36.069
enough full -time physical therapists, a rank

01:08:36.069 --> 01:08:38.850
of 15 out of 32, which is very important. Yeah.

01:08:39.430 --> 01:08:42.130
97 % of players feel they have enough hot tub

01:08:42.130 --> 01:08:44.930
space. That's real important. Yeah. Yeah, you

01:08:44.930 --> 01:08:47.689
don't want some big guy next to you. Yeah. Yeah,

01:08:47.689 --> 01:08:49.729
yeah, yeah. It's like, hey, what was that? Was

01:08:49.729 --> 01:08:56.649
that soap? Uh -uh. Uh -uh. All right. Let's see.

01:08:57.689 --> 01:09:00.270
75 % of players feel they have enough cold tub

01:09:00.270 --> 01:09:02.729
space. Ranked 24 out of 32. That's good because

01:09:02.729 --> 01:09:04.890
you're not looking your best. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,

01:09:04.890 --> 01:09:06.489
yeah, yeah. You know, you're kind of like that.

01:09:06.960 --> 01:09:08.960
You're tucked in a little bit. Spider on a hot

01:09:08.960 --> 01:09:16.680
stove. Yes. Not even a meat whistle? No. No,

01:09:16.680 --> 01:09:22.140
nothing. Training staff, they got a B. 90 % of

01:09:22.140 --> 01:09:24.119
Rams players report that they receive enough

01:09:24.119 --> 01:09:26.020
one -on -one training treatment, ranking them

01:09:26.020 --> 01:09:32.920
10 out of 32. That's upper. Upper third. Let's

01:09:32.920 --> 01:09:39.859
see. Oh, come on. All right, there we go. Weight

01:09:39.859 --> 01:09:43.939
room, C+. Equipment is below average, ranking

01:09:43.939 --> 01:09:47.279
30 out of 32 teams. They do not have enough space

01:09:47.279 --> 01:09:52.520
to train effectively. 26 out of 32. Oh, and Rob

01:09:52.520 --> 01:09:54.100
and I have a new rule. If there's a word you

01:09:54.100 --> 01:09:55.920
can't pronounce or if it's in question, we say

01:09:55.920 --> 01:09:58.340
babble snatch. Oh, that sounds good. Yeah, yeah.

01:09:58.500 --> 01:10:02.159
If you know, you know. If not, you're like, what

01:10:02.159 --> 01:10:07.390
the hell did they just say? So, all right. Strength

01:10:07.390 --> 01:10:11.430
coaches, A -. All right, they got a 14 out of

01:10:11.430 --> 01:10:14.609
32, and they love their individualized training

01:10:14.609 --> 01:10:18.350
plan. Team travel, they got a B, 16th out of

01:10:18.350 --> 01:10:20.430
32. Even though it's a B, they're in the middle

01:10:20.430 --> 01:10:24.789
of the pack. Wow. 88 % of Rams players believe

01:10:24.789 --> 01:10:26.609
they have a comfortable amount of personal space

01:10:26.609 --> 01:10:31.060
on team flights, ranking them 15 out of 32. All

01:10:31.060 --> 01:10:32.819
right, the players fill the team's travel schedule

01:10:32.819 --> 01:10:35.520
somewhat efficient, a rank of 15 out of 32. So

01:10:35.520 --> 01:10:37.359
they're average even though they're a B. Yeah.

01:10:37.600 --> 01:10:40.399
All right, head coach A. 100 % of Rams players

01:10:40.399 --> 01:10:42.600
fill their head coach. Sean McVay is efficient

01:10:42.600 --> 01:10:45.020
at their time. He was one of the six coaches

01:10:45.020 --> 01:10:47.380
in the league to receive a perfect score. You

01:10:47.380 --> 01:10:49.260
don't feel like I'm doing here. You know whenever

01:10:49.260 --> 01:10:53.239
you got your evaluation at work, this is what

01:10:53.239 --> 01:10:56.239
it sounds like. Okay, now your efficiency at

01:10:56.239 --> 01:10:58.500
work, okay, you got it. Your grade was a 72,

01:10:58.739 --> 01:11:03.409
Topher. What I'm reading from this is this right

01:11:03.409 --> 01:11:08.090
here. You fuck off a lot. They say you like to

01:11:08.090 --> 01:11:10.369
stand in the corner and scratch your ass. Is

01:11:10.369 --> 01:11:13.789
this true? Hang on, let me go scratch my ass.

01:11:13.850 --> 01:11:17.810
I'll be right back. I wonder if players' agents

01:11:17.810 --> 01:11:20.649
bring these ratings to the team when there's

01:11:20.649 --> 01:11:23.970
contract negotiation time. I would. It's like,

01:11:24.029 --> 01:11:25.829
hey, look at the way you treat families. Look

01:11:25.829 --> 01:11:28.350
at your travel. I mean, look at the food. If

01:11:28.350 --> 01:11:31.710
you want my client to sign here, you're either

01:11:31.710 --> 01:11:33.069
going to have to improve these, which you're

01:11:33.069 --> 01:11:34.350
probably not, so now you're going to have to

01:11:34.350 --> 01:11:36.430
pay him extra to make up for the inconvenience.

01:11:36.810 --> 01:11:39.810
Yeah. I would do that as an agent. Same here.

01:11:39.970 --> 01:11:46.449
Yeah. I agree. All right. Ownership, C. 7 .2

01:11:46.449 --> 01:11:48.489
out of 10, the Rams players are ranking a 25

01:11:48.489 --> 01:11:50.909
out of 32 on the ownership, which is not that

01:11:50.909 --> 01:11:55.869
good. And finally, I don't know what's 21st.

01:11:58.630 --> 01:12:00.670
Ownership. Okay. Ownership's the last category.

01:12:00.909 --> 01:12:07.029
Okay. There's nothing on it. Well, the first

01:12:07.029 --> 01:12:09.069
one answered it anyhow because that was about

01:12:09.069 --> 01:12:13.449
ownership as well. Yeah. All right. There you

01:12:13.449 --> 01:12:15.869
go. Put it in the gun. All right. I've got the

01:12:15.869 --> 01:12:18.550
Cincinnati Bengals. Oh, this ought to be good.

01:12:18.649 --> 01:12:21.369
Yeah. Samajit Pirine's new team. Yes. That he

01:12:21.369 --> 01:12:22.829
went back to. We're sorry you're never going

01:12:22.829 --> 01:12:24.630
to sniff another ring in the next couple of years.

01:12:24.829 --> 01:12:27.319
No kidding. Yeah, good luck to you. Let's see.

01:12:27.340 --> 01:12:30.140
Let me give you the highlights of the Bengals

01:12:30.140 --> 01:12:33.140
organization. Locker room, A +, ranking them

01:12:33.140 --> 01:12:36.659
third. Training staff, B +, ranking them sixth.

01:12:37.619 --> 01:12:43.100
Training staff, A-, ranking them fourth. Weight

01:12:43.100 --> 01:12:48.159
room, B, which puts them only at 16th. So that

01:12:48.159 --> 01:12:50.779
means half the league gets a better than B rating.

01:12:51.949 --> 01:12:55.649
Strength coaches, A-, team travel, A-, head coach,

01:12:55.850 --> 01:13:02.729
A. Now here are the bad ones. Ownership, C. Let

01:13:02.729 --> 01:13:07.229
me run to the description for ownership. Mike

01:13:07.229 --> 01:13:10.149
Brown has an average rating for perceived willingness

01:13:10.149 --> 01:13:13.350
to invest in the facilities. 7 .23 out of 10.

01:13:13.550 --> 01:13:17.210
Okay. So a full quarter of the team doesn't think

01:13:17.210 --> 01:13:21.289
he's interested in investing. Uh -huh. They feel

01:13:21.289 --> 01:13:23.989
the owner slightly contributes to a positive

01:13:23.989 --> 01:13:26.569
team culture. Judging by all the contract disputes

01:13:26.569 --> 01:13:28.829
they've had, I'm thinking I have to agree with

01:13:28.829 --> 01:13:31.109
them. Yeah. They have more than anybody else.

01:13:32.189 --> 01:13:35.850
They would have to. And as far as their sense

01:13:35.850 --> 01:13:37.970
that the owner is committed to building a competitive

01:13:37.970 --> 01:13:41.770
team, they say somewhat. Rank of 28 out of 32.

01:13:41.770 --> 01:13:44.510
I think I'd agree with that too. Now here's where

01:13:44.510 --> 01:13:49.350
they really suck. Treatment of families. F. Ooh,

01:13:49.810 --> 01:13:53.489
that's a... The Bengals are only... Go ahead.

01:13:53.770 --> 01:13:56.409
Oh, would you go to a team like that? No. I wouldn't

01:13:56.409 --> 01:13:58.850
either. Not unless you're single. That's right.

01:13:58.930 --> 01:14:01.170
If you're single, you don't care. Yeah. Okay,

01:14:01.289 --> 01:14:04.170
the Bengals are one of only three teams that

01:14:04.170 --> 01:14:07.930
do not offer daycare during home games. Not at

01:14:07.930 --> 01:14:11.350
all. To me, that's atrocious. Why could... It's

01:14:11.350 --> 01:14:13.970
simple. I know. Everybody offers daycare. Yeah.

01:14:14.329 --> 01:14:17.130
And they're one of only 10 teams that do not

01:14:17.130 --> 01:14:21.010
offer a family room during home games. Your family's

01:14:21.010 --> 01:14:23.029
got to go buy a ticket and sit in the stands.

01:14:23.270 --> 01:14:26.529
I mean, okay, all employers now pretty much offer

01:14:26.529 --> 01:14:30.310
one. Or a safe room or a quiet room. It's also

01:14:30.310 --> 01:14:34.270
a family room. That is so easy to do. I know.

01:14:35.130 --> 01:14:38.069
And Bengals are the only team in the NFL that

01:14:38.069 --> 01:14:40.430
doesn't provide either of those. Every other

01:14:40.430 --> 01:14:43.029
team provides at least one of those. That's insane.

01:14:43.310 --> 01:14:48.010
Yeah. They're dead last in that. Wow. Now, they

01:14:48.010 --> 01:14:51.149
do have a post -game family area, which families,

01:14:51.310 --> 01:14:55.770
which the players rate dead last. 4 .92 out of

01:14:55.770 --> 01:14:59.689
10. It sucks. It's just awful. Yeah. And the

01:14:59.689 --> 01:15:02.989
team, the players feel the team rarely organizes

01:15:02.989 --> 01:15:05.770
family events. Most teams do several times a

01:15:05.770 --> 01:15:08.609
year, big events. Bengals, nah, we don't want

01:15:08.609 --> 01:15:10.970
to know you. It is a part of, like, bonding.

01:15:11.819 --> 01:15:14.460
Yeah. As individuals and families. You know,

01:15:14.520 --> 01:15:17.100
I mean, the two wives talking after that and

01:15:17.100 --> 01:15:19.859
texting and going, man, I hope your husband's

01:15:19.859 --> 01:15:21.939
okay, man. He took a hell of a hit. Hey, thank

01:15:21.939 --> 01:15:24.439
you so much. All of that means a lot. It does.

01:15:24.640 --> 01:15:26.319
It does. Yeah, and then you get home and go,

01:15:26.399 --> 01:15:30.699
oh, so -and -so's wife said she hopes you're

01:15:30.699 --> 01:15:32.899
okay and all this stuff. Oh, you know, do you

01:15:32.899 --> 01:15:35.140
have a more respect for that person you're playing

01:15:35.140 --> 01:15:37.000
with? Yeah, really. And you play better with

01:15:37.000 --> 01:15:44.039
them. It's crazy. Food and dining area, F, deadliest.

01:15:44.340 --> 01:15:46.640
That's bad, too. They rate the freshness of the

01:15:46.640 --> 01:15:51.340
food 5 .5 out of 10. They rate their dining area

01:15:51.340 --> 01:15:55.899
5 .9 out of 10. Players wish that more meals

01:15:55.899 --> 01:15:58.460
would be provided throughout the week. Apparently,

01:15:58.479 --> 01:16:02.220
they don't even feed you. The team does not provide

01:16:02.220 --> 01:16:04.520
three meals a day. Don't look like you need a

01:16:04.520 --> 01:16:06.899
meal, Tubby. Yeah, there are only two teams in

01:16:06.899 --> 01:16:09.000
the league that fail to provide at least three

01:16:09.000 --> 01:16:11.939
meals a day. Cincinnati's one of them. I don't

01:16:11.939 --> 01:16:13.859
know who the other one is. We'll figure it out.

01:16:14.159 --> 01:16:17.800
Yeah. And even though the food is rated this

01:16:17.800 --> 01:16:19.899
poorly, they say it's better than last year.

01:16:22.640 --> 01:16:25.060
What, they do shit on the plate last year? Yes.

01:16:25.760 --> 01:16:29.100
The Nutritious and Dietitian is rated C, dead

01:16:29.100 --> 01:16:35.520
last. 41 % of the players get individualized

01:16:35.520 --> 01:16:39.149
nutrition plans. The other 59 %... Screw you.

01:16:39.210 --> 01:16:43.050
Your eyes are on your own. Okay, man. Wow. So

01:16:43.050 --> 01:16:45.810
they do really well in a bunch of areas, and

01:16:45.810 --> 01:16:48.210
then they just totally crap out on the basic

01:16:48.210 --> 01:16:50.869
human needs like food and caring for your family.

01:16:52.029 --> 01:16:55.909
No wonder they have so many problems. That explains

01:16:55.909 --> 01:16:58.149
everything. And that explains why a lot of good

01:16:58.149 --> 01:17:01.050
players can't wait to leave Cincinnati. And they

01:17:01.050 --> 01:17:05.729
do, except P. Ryan. Yeah. We'll see how that

01:17:05.729 --> 01:17:10.600
turns out. All right. This is a report card of

01:17:10.600 --> 01:17:13.140
the New York Giants. It's going to be interesting

01:17:13.140 --> 01:17:17.659
because they have so many issues, famous issues,

01:17:17.779 --> 01:17:20.420
with so many different players. I mean, they

01:17:20.420 --> 01:17:23.760
just seem like an organization that will never

01:17:23.760 --> 01:17:26.720
find glory again. Yeah, they can't get out of

01:17:26.720 --> 01:17:29.140
their own way. Yeah, they're just one enormous

01:17:29.140 --> 01:17:31.619
market. They could be raking in tons of money

01:17:31.619 --> 01:17:34.159
for the league. At some point, the other owners

01:17:34.159 --> 01:17:35.840
have got to say, hey, we've got to get at least

01:17:35.840 --> 01:17:38.079
one team in New York that can do something. You

01:17:38.079 --> 01:17:41.100
would think. If I was a New Yorker, I wouldn't

01:17:41.100 --> 01:17:44.460
stand for it. I did see some of the signs last

01:17:44.460 --> 01:17:48.399
year, though. The giant signs. I'm only here

01:17:48.399 --> 01:17:50.420
because someone gave me free tickets and I'm

01:17:50.420 --> 01:17:55.279
still unhappy. There was one that was so funny.

01:17:56.180 --> 01:17:58.420
Was it last year or the season before that the

01:17:58.420 --> 01:18:01.439
Jets fans were chanting, sell the team, sell

01:18:01.439 --> 01:18:03.979
the team during the game? During the game. And

01:18:03.979 --> 01:18:07.500
then the TV broadcast had to bleep that out.

01:18:08.960 --> 01:18:11.420
I remember what it was. I got free tickets and

01:18:11.420 --> 01:18:16.399
I still paid too much. That was Giants, so it

01:18:16.399 --> 01:18:20.199
had a big sign. But yeah, the sell the team thing

01:18:20.199 --> 01:18:22.000
was funny because there's nothing they can really

01:18:22.000 --> 01:18:25.069
do about it. You know, because it's on air. And,

01:18:25.090 --> 01:18:27.569
I mean, they might have eventually, like, put

01:18:27.569 --> 01:18:29.310
some different crowd noise in that we don't know

01:18:29.310 --> 01:18:31.430
about. But, I mean, at first it was very obvious.

01:18:31.850 --> 01:18:34.369
And then ESPN getting a hold of it was not any

01:18:34.369 --> 01:18:39.630
better. Yeah. All right. The New York Giants

01:18:39.630 --> 01:18:43.170
are 20th overall out of 32 teams, of course.

01:18:44.649 --> 01:18:48.010
Okay. Ranking breakdown, treatment of facilities,

01:18:48.329 --> 01:18:51.750
C. Food, dieting area, B. Nutrition, dietitian,

01:18:51.789 --> 01:18:56.979
C. Locker room, C -. Pretty mediocre. Yeah. Weight

01:18:56.979 --> 01:19:00.399
room, B-, strength coaches, A-, team travel.

01:19:00.520 --> 01:19:02.220
Well, strength coaches, they did pretty good.

01:19:02.300 --> 01:19:05.640
Team travel, B, they did good. Weight room, B-,

01:19:05.640 --> 01:19:08.939
not that bad. Ownership, C+. There you go. There's

01:19:08.939 --> 01:19:12.140
one of the problems. That's a lot of mediocrity

01:19:12.140 --> 01:19:14.659
in a lot of areas. And they provide daycare.

01:19:15.760 --> 01:19:18.539
Yep. Players feel that communication and engagement

01:19:18.539 --> 01:19:20.539
between the team and their significant others

01:19:20.539 --> 01:19:23.750
or families need improvement. Food and dining

01:19:23.750 --> 01:19:26.489
area, B. They're 17th out of 32 teams, so they're

01:19:26.489 --> 01:19:32.050
mediocre. Well, average. Yeah, average. Nutrition

01:19:32.050 --> 01:19:39.949
and dietician, C+. 67 % of players report that

01:19:39.949 --> 01:19:42.989
they get an individualized nutrition plan. Ranking

01:19:42.989 --> 01:19:46.930
them 30 out of 32 teams. Wow. Two -thirds are

01:19:46.930 --> 01:19:48.630
getting it, and that still ranks you really low.

01:19:48.789 --> 01:19:52.569
Which means... Even doing that much, there's

01:19:52.569 --> 01:19:55.729
so many better than you. Yeah. Which means you

01:19:55.729 --> 01:19:57.609
failed even though it doesn't look like on paper.

01:19:57.750 --> 01:20:00.250
Yeah. It's like an easy test at school. Yeah.

01:20:00.329 --> 01:20:03.550
And everyone gets an A - or an A +, and you get

01:20:03.550 --> 01:20:07.010
a C. Yeah. Because you missed one more question.

01:20:07.050 --> 01:20:12.069
Yeah. Yeah. I get your point. Okay. Locker room,

01:20:12.229 --> 01:20:15.609
C -. 71 % of players feel they have enough room.

01:20:16.750 --> 01:20:19.409
74 % of players feel like a locker room size

01:20:19.409 --> 01:20:24.319
is adequate. And the players report that the

01:20:24.319 --> 01:20:26.659
locker room needs renovation, it is outdated,

01:20:27.039 --> 01:20:29.520
it needs to be larger with functional lockers.

01:20:29.539 --> 01:20:32.939
So obviously the lockers don't work. Wow, functional

01:20:32.939 --> 01:20:36.960
lockers. Yeah, I think you'd kind of want that

01:20:36.960 --> 01:20:40.399
as a given. A lot of people go through their

01:20:40.399 --> 01:20:42.579
media and stuff like that and think, you know,

01:20:42.579 --> 01:20:45.560
someone could grab something from a locker if

01:20:45.560 --> 01:20:48.300
it's not working right and exploit it or sell

01:20:48.300 --> 01:20:51.039
it, you know. All right. And you've got to remember,

01:20:51.140 --> 01:20:54.479
these are multi -billion dollar sports franchises.

01:20:55.159 --> 01:20:57.300
Spending a few hundred thousand on a locker room

01:20:57.300 --> 01:20:59.579
is nothing. No, I know. And they still won't

01:20:59.579 --> 01:21:01.859
do it. It doesn't make sense to me. It really

01:21:01.859 --> 01:21:05.399
doesn't. Yeah. Okay. Oh, I'm glad you remembered.

01:21:05.600 --> 01:21:09.340
I forgot. 91 % of Giants players feel they have

01:21:09.340 --> 01:21:12.399
enough full -time trainers. 87 % feel they have

01:21:12.399 --> 01:21:16.260
enough full -time physical therapists. 63 % of

01:21:16.260 --> 01:21:17.899
players feel they have enough hot tub space.

01:21:18.569 --> 01:21:22.630
They're 29 out of 32, 69 % cold -tub space, feel

01:21:22.630 --> 01:21:25.710
that it's adequate, 30 out of 32. I'm glossing

01:21:25.710 --> 01:21:27.550
over a lot of these because nobody really cares

01:21:27.550 --> 01:21:29.529
about the Giants. They've been sucking for so

01:21:29.529 --> 01:21:32.430
long. True. Their grade rank on training staff

01:21:32.430 --> 01:21:35.949
is B, 88 % of players say they get enough one

01:21:35.949 --> 01:21:38.670
-on -one. The players of the training staff moderately

01:21:38.670 --> 01:21:40.670
contributes to their overall success, ranking

01:21:40.670 --> 01:21:44.670
them 19 out of 32. I don't know what the next

01:21:44.670 --> 01:21:47.149
one is, but it's a B -. Players feel that the

01:21:47.149 --> 01:21:48.850
quality of their weight room and equipment is

01:21:48.850 --> 01:21:52.149
good overall, 25 out of 32. The players feel

01:21:52.149 --> 01:21:54.529
they do not have enough space to train efficiently,

01:21:54.670 --> 01:21:57.789
ranking them 24 out of 32. Strength coaches,

01:21:57.890 --> 01:22:01.170
a minus 96. Getting into what they feel their

01:22:01.170 --> 01:22:04.069
individual training was great, ranking them 12

01:22:04.069 --> 01:22:06.449
out of 32. The players feel the strength coaches

01:22:06.449 --> 01:22:08.550
moderately contribute to overall success, a rank

01:22:08.550 --> 01:22:12.300
of 18 to 32. Moderately. Moderately. So many

01:22:12.300 --> 01:22:14.800
teams don't do well on the strength and coaches

01:22:14.800 --> 01:22:16.899
and the weight room, etc., that it really seems

01:22:16.899 --> 01:22:18.939
they expect these players to just provide for

01:22:18.939 --> 01:22:21.920
themselves. I've got a theory on that. I think

01:22:21.920 --> 01:22:25.779
that every team expects them to do their own

01:22:25.779 --> 01:22:27.859
so they're not worried about it. Yeah, but it

01:22:27.859 --> 01:22:30.720
doesn't seem to make sense, though. I mean, it

01:22:30.720 --> 01:22:32.439
makes sense on the one hand that the team would

01:22:32.439 --> 01:22:34.060
do that, but I don't think they're going to get

01:22:34.060 --> 01:22:36.140
the returns they want because you want to monitor

01:22:36.140 --> 01:22:39.199
the players' weight here. and see how they're

01:22:39.199 --> 01:22:41.079
doing and measure the success. Sometimes you

01:22:41.079 --> 01:22:44.420
want supervised workouts. And if your facility

01:22:44.420 --> 01:22:47.699
decides. I think it looks like this. You can

01:22:47.699 --> 01:22:49.920
go to an Italian place and get a cheeseburger.

01:22:50.479 --> 01:22:52.859
Yeah. You can go to a chicken place and get a

01:22:52.859 --> 01:22:55.359
cheeseburger. Yeah. You can go to a burger place

01:22:55.359 --> 01:22:57.399
and get a cheeseburger. Which one's usually better?

01:22:57.560 --> 01:22:59.560
Yeah, the burger place. Yeah. And I think if

01:22:59.560 --> 01:23:01.500
they're like, you know, anything they do is better

01:23:01.500 --> 01:23:03.359
for them because it's personalized and they're

01:23:03.359 --> 01:23:05.060
doing it themselves. This is what they want to

01:23:05.060 --> 01:23:07.039
do. And I think they gloss over it and they're

01:23:07.039 --> 01:23:08.880
not that worried about it because of that. Yeah,

01:23:08.899 --> 01:23:11.880
that seems to make sense. Yeah, okay. And that's

01:23:11.880 --> 01:23:15.020
just a guess. Next one is a B for whatever it

01:23:15.020 --> 01:23:17.600
is. 87 % of Giants players have a comfortable

01:23:17.600 --> 01:23:20.600
amount of space. 16 out of 32. Oh, that'd be

01:23:20.600 --> 01:23:23.079
team travel, wouldn't it? Yeah, because it's

01:23:23.079 --> 01:23:24.920
going into it right now. The players feel their

01:23:24.920 --> 01:23:27.439
team travel schedule is not very efficient. Ranking

01:23:27.439 --> 01:23:29.699
them 23 out of 32. That's because they got to

01:23:29.699 --> 01:23:32.159
at least go three hours on everything usually.

01:23:32.359 --> 01:23:37.460
Unless it's like Boston or... Yeah. Carolina,

01:23:37.579 --> 01:23:39.920
maybe. I don't know. Yeah. No, Baltimore. Baltimore,

01:23:40.060 --> 01:23:42.520
yeah. Probably take a bus there. Yeah. Yeah,

01:23:42.560 --> 01:23:44.659
I mean, some of them, they probably do. Head

01:23:44.659 --> 01:23:48.979
coach, B -plus. Okay. They all seem to like Brian

01:23:48.979 --> 01:23:52.100
DeBall, or DeBall, or DaBall, or whatever. Yeah.

01:23:52.939 --> 01:23:55.279
Babelsnatch. Yeah. They love Coach Babelsnatch.

01:23:56.020 --> 01:24:01.460
He's ranked 22 out of 32. I love that. The players

01:24:01.460 --> 01:24:06.869
who, DeBall, no, Babelsnatch. Babelsnatch. His

01:24:06.869 --> 01:24:10.630
locker room feedback, 22 out of 32, so he listens

01:24:10.630 --> 01:24:15.510
to him. C -plus on whatever it is. John Morrow's

01:24:15.510 --> 01:24:18.069
average. Ownership. Ownership, yeah. Rating for

01:24:18.069 --> 01:24:23.010
perceived willingness to invest, 7 .73, 22 out

01:24:23.010 --> 01:24:25.710
of 32 owners in the league. Morrow moderately

01:24:25.710 --> 01:24:28.470
contributes to a positive team culture, 22 out

01:24:28.470 --> 01:24:32.729
of 32. So he's more probably worried about the

01:24:32.729 --> 01:24:35.819
massage he's getting that afternoon. Yeah. The

01:24:35.819 --> 01:24:37.539
players feel their ownership is committed to

01:24:37.539 --> 01:24:40.819
building a competitive team, although they don't

01:24:40.819 --> 01:24:47.840
do it right. 21 out of 32. That is it. All right.

01:24:49.039 --> 01:24:52.500
So not a lot of things that Giants excel at.

01:24:52.760 --> 01:24:55.779
No, no. But I kind of expected that, didn't you?

01:24:56.760 --> 01:24:59.399
Yeah. They don't seem to be really trying all

01:24:59.399 --> 01:25:02.899
that hard. No. All right, I got the Cleveland

01:25:02.899 --> 01:25:07.819
Panthers here. Ranked 25th out of 32. Now, I

01:25:07.819 --> 01:25:09.760
would think with the Cleveland Panthers team,

01:25:09.899 --> 01:25:13.119
since they're not doing well, I would think that

01:25:13.119 --> 01:25:16.420
they would be interested in pleasing the players

01:25:16.420 --> 01:25:19.239
and turning things around. But they're falling

01:25:19.239 --> 01:25:24.979
short in a lot of key areas. The players don't

01:25:24.979 --> 01:25:28.659
like it that they're still using turf instead

01:25:28.659 --> 01:25:31.000
of grass in the stadium. The players want natural

01:25:31.000 --> 01:25:33.819
grass. No, I agree with them because turf ends

01:25:33.819 --> 01:25:44.189
careers. Early. Proven. Let's see. Let's go start

01:25:44.189 --> 01:25:46.810
off the beginning. Treatment of teen families,

01:25:46.989 --> 01:25:50.329
B+. It's pretty good. They have daycare and a

01:25:50.329 --> 01:25:52.550
family room during home games. Post -game family

01:25:52.550 --> 01:25:56.189
is about 8 out of 10. Food and dining has got

01:25:56.189 --> 01:26:01.750
a B. 14 out of 32, so they're in the upper half.

01:26:01.949 --> 01:26:05.750
They rate their team's food 8 .2 out of 10. Freshness

01:26:05.750 --> 01:26:09.170
is good. The dining area is good. They're very

01:26:09.170 --> 01:26:11.109
complimentary of their director of culinary,

01:26:11.350 --> 01:26:13.909
Tracy Hartman. A lot of players singled her out

01:26:13.909 --> 01:26:16.810
for praise. So they're doing something right

01:26:16.810 --> 01:26:20.630
on the food. The nutrition, they get an A-, so

01:26:20.630 --> 01:26:24.729
they're doing really well on nutrition. Strength

01:26:24.729 --> 01:26:27.550
coaches get an A. Everyone's happy there. Head

01:26:27.550 --> 01:26:29.909
coach gets an A -. They're pretty happy there.

01:26:30.609 --> 01:26:33.390
Now, here's where they fail. Locker room is a

01:26:33.390 --> 01:26:37.970
C. Only 81 % feel they have enough room to act

01:26:37.970 --> 01:26:41.770
in their individual lockers. That's pretty bad

01:26:41.770 --> 01:26:43.909
when your locker itself is small. I mean, that

01:26:43.909 --> 01:26:46.430
is so easy to correct like so many other things.

01:26:47.109 --> 01:26:49.649
And then about the same number of players feel

01:26:49.649 --> 01:26:52.449
that the locker room size is adequate. So a full

01:26:52.449 --> 01:26:54.989
20 % of the team says, my locker's not big enough

01:26:54.989 --> 01:26:57.829
and the room isn't big enough. We're crammed

01:26:57.829 --> 01:27:02.090
in here. Wow. Yeah. Another failing grade is

01:27:02.090 --> 01:27:06.109
the weight room. They got a C +, 27th out of

01:27:06.109 --> 01:27:09.750
32. The rate room equipment is below average

01:27:09.750 --> 01:27:13.510
quality, so they cheap down. Again, something.

01:27:13.850 --> 01:27:17.050
Okay, go ahead. You know, a lot of teams do this.

01:27:17.050 --> 01:27:20.569
I can't just concentrate on them. They do not

01:27:20.569 --> 01:27:24.149
have enough space in their weight room. And they

01:27:24.149 --> 01:27:28.329
do say there are ongoing upgrades, but they are

01:27:28.329 --> 01:27:31.210
limited by the actual space in the room. So it

01:27:31.210 --> 01:27:33.289
seems like the team is not going to give them

01:27:33.289 --> 01:27:35.670
a larger area. They're just going to try to cram

01:27:35.670 --> 01:27:38.029
more in that area. I don't think it's going to

01:27:38.029 --> 01:27:41.529
make it any better. No, I don't either. Team

01:27:41.529 --> 01:27:46.949
travel. D. 29th out of 32. I'm interested to

01:27:46.949 --> 01:27:51.489
hear this. Yeah. 55 % of the Panthers players

01:27:51.489 --> 01:27:53.609
feel they have a comfortable amount of personal

01:27:53.609 --> 01:27:57.470
space. 29 out of 32. Oh, that's not, yeah. The

01:27:57.470 --> 01:27:59.430
players believe their team's travel schedule

01:27:59.430 --> 01:28:02.390
is not efficient to rank the 24th out of 32.

01:28:03.550 --> 01:28:07.569
Now think about it. In their division, they go

01:28:07.569 --> 01:28:10.869
to New Orleans, not very far away. Tampa, not

01:28:10.869 --> 01:28:13.989
very far away. Atlanta, not very far away. No,

01:28:13.989 --> 01:28:15.630
that's what I was thinking. I was getting a variant

01:28:15.630 --> 01:28:19.090
on it. It's like these are simple trips. Yeah.

01:28:19.390 --> 01:28:22.289
They're not bus trips. Anything East Coast is

01:28:22.289 --> 01:28:24.789
a simple trip. Yeah, an hour away from everything

01:28:24.789 --> 01:28:27.350
pretty much because they're pretty much centrally

01:28:27.350 --> 01:28:32.770
located from Boston to Miami. Now, here's the

01:28:32.770 --> 01:28:35.229
big thing that dropped their team travel grade

01:28:35.229 --> 01:28:38.569
from a B -minus last year to a D this year. New

01:28:38.569 --> 01:28:41.050
coaching staff moved the players from first class

01:28:41.050 --> 01:28:46.479
back to economy. Oh, my God. So they were first

01:28:46.479 --> 01:28:48.579
class. The players were in first class until

01:28:48.579 --> 01:28:50.659
last season. Then all of them got pushed back

01:28:50.659 --> 01:28:54.920
to economy, and the coaches and their staff get

01:28:54.920 --> 01:28:59.140
first class. Wow. Yeah, what a slap in the face

01:28:59.140 --> 01:29:00.739
that would have been at the beginning of last

01:29:00.739 --> 01:29:03.000
season. I think Bryce Young is throwing it in

01:29:03.000 --> 01:29:06.640
until they get rid of him. I think he's like,

01:29:06.739 --> 01:29:08.699
I'm not going to do well until they get rid of

01:29:08.699 --> 01:29:13.140
me. And ownership gets a D. Yeah, I would say

01:29:13.140 --> 01:29:16.569
after hearing all this. 31st out of 32, so there's

01:29:16.569 --> 01:29:18.310
only one owner lower than him, and it's probably

01:29:18.310 --> 01:29:21.750
Cardinals. Owner Dave Tepper's average rating

01:29:21.750 --> 01:29:24.949
for perceived willingness to invest is 6 out

01:29:24.949 --> 01:29:29.710
of 10. Players feel that ownership is only slightly

01:29:29.710 --> 01:29:34.449
contributing to a positive team culture, and

01:29:34.449 --> 01:29:37.689
ownership is only somewhat committed to building

01:29:37.689 --> 01:29:42.800
a better team. So everyone's putting the blame

01:29:42.800 --> 01:29:44.859
on the ownership and saying, you're not doing

01:29:44.859 --> 01:29:47.859
enough. And the owner's just like, yeah, I don't

01:29:47.859 --> 01:29:52.319
care. I don't see the Panthers improving until

01:29:52.319 --> 01:29:55.579
they invest in that team and start fixing things.

01:29:55.819 --> 01:29:57.279
Nope, I don't either. That's a lot of unhappy

01:29:57.279 --> 01:30:00.159
players. And when the team is losing and you

01:30:00.159 --> 01:30:02.039
really don't feel like anyone in ownership or

01:30:02.039 --> 01:30:05.079
management is trying. Yep. Wow, that's bad. You

01:30:05.079 --> 01:30:06.479
want to go ahead with the next one? Because I

01:30:06.479 --> 01:30:08.140
really want to hear the Cleveland Browns. All

01:30:08.140 --> 01:30:10.180
right, Cleveland Browns. Do you hear all the

01:30:10.180 --> 01:30:12.960
heat they're getting now? Oh, yeah. Yeah, go

01:30:12.960 --> 01:30:15.779
ahead. Go ahead. 30 out of 32 is their record.

01:30:15.800 --> 01:30:19.300
Believe it. All right. What we've been saying

01:30:19.300 --> 01:30:21.539
all along, people are like, you know, they should

01:30:21.539 --> 01:30:24.000
have kept Mayfield. People are starting to fucking,

01:30:24.140 --> 01:30:25.840
they're madder than hell. They're saying, you

01:30:25.840 --> 01:30:28.640
got this ass bag and you got this huge contract

01:30:28.640 --> 01:30:31.119
when you could have kept Baker. Yeah. Yeah, go

01:30:31.119 --> 01:30:33.989
ahead. We've been saying that all along. Yeah,

01:30:34.069 --> 01:30:36.869
that's true. About the only thing Cleveland's

01:30:36.869 --> 01:30:39.090
been doing right is they made a significant improvement

01:30:39.090 --> 01:30:41.609
in building a top -of -the -line weight room,

01:30:41.729 --> 01:30:46.710
which had been a major issue. Miles Garrett likes

01:30:46.710 --> 01:30:49.630
it now, I guess. Yeah. It kind of surprised me

01:30:49.630 --> 01:30:51.289
he signed with them after everything he said.

01:30:51.649 --> 01:30:56.789
Yeah. Well, here's our ranking breakdown. They

01:30:56.789 --> 01:30:58.789
got an A in the weight room because they just

01:30:58.789 --> 01:31:00.789
spent the money there. They got a B -plus in

01:31:00.789 --> 01:31:04.420
strength coaches. And they got a B - in nutrition

01:31:04.420 --> 01:31:08.239
and dietitian. Everything else is worse. Those

01:31:08.239 --> 01:31:14.159
are their top grades. I believe it because the

01:31:14.159 --> 01:31:18.779
overall, the team, when they talk, when you see

01:31:18.779 --> 01:31:22.359
them, when you see them on TV, they do not have

01:31:22.359 --> 01:31:24.899
the same attitude as a winner. No, they look

01:31:24.899 --> 01:31:28.960
like just guys who... Have a tough job, they

01:31:28.960 --> 01:31:31.039
go work. Yeah, yeah, and that's it. They're kind

01:31:31.039 --> 01:31:33.300
of like, I'm getting my check, I don't know what

01:31:33.300 --> 01:31:38.500
else to say. Yeah. The team is in disarray. They've

01:31:38.500 --> 01:31:42.020
got a guy that loves rubbing tugs so much that

01:31:42.020 --> 01:31:43.399
he's probably never going to play in the league

01:31:43.399 --> 01:31:46.600
again. And evidently that dickhead Justin Tucker

01:31:46.600 --> 01:31:49.199
is the same way. Yeah, even though Baltimore

01:31:49.199 --> 01:31:51.739
is trying to put a spin on it and say, oh, he's

01:31:51.739 --> 01:31:54.039
just this, he's just that. That guy's such a

01:31:54.039 --> 01:31:57.189
dickhead to everybody. Go ahead, I'm sorry. All

01:31:57.189 --> 01:31:58.970
right, well, here's what Cleveland's doing wrong.

01:31:59.989 --> 01:32:05.090
Treatment of families, D+. I believe it. They

01:32:05.090 --> 01:32:08.390
do provide daycare on game day, but they're one

01:32:08.390 --> 01:32:10.670
of ten teams that do not offer a family room

01:32:10.670 --> 01:32:13.930
during home games. That's another one like we

01:32:13.930 --> 01:32:16.949
said before. A stadium has got to have a room

01:32:16.949 --> 01:32:20.289
somewhere for a family to go to change diapers,

01:32:20.649 --> 01:32:24.189
let the kid have a nap, maybe breastfeed if your

01:32:24.189 --> 01:32:26.619
kids are young enough. There's a full house in

01:32:26.619 --> 01:32:29.399
Arrowhead Stadium. There's a full house in there.

01:32:30.079 --> 01:32:34.479
Why couldn't they? It doesn't make sense. No.

01:32:36.420 --> 01:32:38.960
They feel the team organizes several family events

01:32:38.960 --> 01:32:40.739
a year, which drags them out of the dead middle.

01:32:41.380 --> 01:32:43.840
They believe the coaches' families are treated

01:32:43.840 --> 01:32:46.159
better than the players' families. For example,

01:32:46.220 --> 01:32:48.619
the coaches' families have a post -game meet

01:32:48.619 --> 01:32:50.640
-up room inside the stadium while the players'

01:32:50.720 --> 01:32:54.380
families... They meet in a tent in the parking

01:32:54.380 --> 01:32:58.199
lot. What the fuck? Yeah. That's the Cleveland

01:32:58.199 --> 01:33:01.760
Browns post -game family room is a tent in the

01:33:01.760 --> 01:33:05.039
parking lot. The players feel like a bunch of

01:33:05.039 --> 01:33:07.579
fucking slaves, man, and that's what it is. Yeah,

01:33:08.119 --> 01:33:10.100
they're making it very clear that the players

01:33:10.100 --> 01:33:12.319
are not important and they really don't care

01:33:12.319 --> 01:33:14.460
and you're replaceable, so if you don't like

01:33:14.460 --> 01:33:15.939
it, get the hell out and look at the next guy.

01:33:16.000 --> 01:33:18.000
That is not conductive of a winning team. No,

01:33:18.000 --> 01:33:22.489
it's not. The treatment of families, man, that

01:33:22.489 --> 01:33:26.029
would be such a big deal for me. Me too. Like

01:33:26.029 --> 01:33:28.710
we talked about, someone can talk about you all

01:33:28.710 --> 01:33:30.510
day long, but if they talk about your kid or

01:33:30.510 --> 01:33:33.770
your mom or something, all of a sudden it's a

01:33:33.770 --> 01:33:37.550
different ballgame. Food and dining area, C -.

01:33:39.470 --> 01:33:44.289
Taste of the team's food, 6 .5 out of 10. Freshness,

01:33:44.369 --> 01:33:50.010
7 .4 out of 10. Dining area, 7 .1 out of 10.

01:33:50.210 --> 01:33:55.489
Ranking them 27, 25, and 29 out of 32, respectively.

01:33:56.670 --> 01:33:59.750
Way at the bottom. Pretty much what I expected.

01:34:00.670 --> 01:34:05.649
Locker room, F -. Oh, I got to hear this. Only

01:34:05.649 --> 01:34:08.470
39 % of the players feel they have enough room

01:34:08.470 --> 01:34:12.350
in their individual lockers. So you have 53 players

01:34:12.350 --> 01:34:18.300
on the team. That means 8 out of those 53. feel

01:34:18.300 --> 01:34:21.479
they have enough room. Wow, that's not good at

01:34:21.479 --> 01:34:25.220
all. No. 29 % of the players feel the locker

01:34:25.220 --> 01:34:27.720
room size is adequate. That means out of your

01:34:27.720 --> 01:34:31.439
53 -man squad, six feel like the locker room

01:34:31.439 --> 01:34:33.699
size is adequate. And also I heard that they

01:34:33.699 --> 01:34:35.920
think their janitor peeks at them. Probably so.

01:34:36.079 --> 01:34:40.340
Yes, that was another issue. Anyhow, no, that's

01:34:40.340 --> 01:34:42.600
horrible. Isn't that awful? Keep going, I believe

01:34:42.600 --> 01:34:47.500
you're good. Training room, D+. 79 % feel they

01:34:47.500 --> 01:34:49.659
have enough full -time trainers, which still

01:34:49.659 --> 01:34:54.220
ranks them 27th. 71 % feel they have enough cold

01:34:54.220 --> 01:34:57.060
tub space, which ranks them 29th. The hot tub

01:34:57.060 --> 01:35:01.039
space one got cut off. Oh, hot tub space, 50%.

01:35:01.039 --> 01:35:03.779
That's not good either. Only half. Only half.

01:35:04.659 --> 01:35:07.159
Only 68 % of players feel they have enough full

01:35:07.159 --> 01:35:10.260
-time physical therapists. That's not good either.

01:35:10.439 --> 01:35:12.760
No. They say the training room is understaffed.

01:35:14.220 --> 01:35:16.260
And since the players responded to the survey,

01:35:16.359 --> 01:35:18.560
the Browns have hired two additional staff members.

01:35:20.159 --> 01:35:22.199
Not enough. So they're trying to bring it up.

01:35:22.260 --> 01:35:25.439
Training staff, C -. Yeah, but just two? I mean,

01:35:25.439 --> 01:35:28.359
wouldn't you overdo that and get like seven of

01:35:28.359 --> 01:35:30.840
them? But anyhow, because it doesn't cost them

01:35:30.840 --> 01:35:33.939
anything. But the weird thing is, it was the

01:35:33.939 --> 01:35:37.640
training room that was rated D+. They hired training

01:35:37.640 --> 01:35:40.300
staff, which doesn't change the training room.

01:35:40.989 --> 01:35:43.130
No, that's right. Because training staff is a

01:35:43.130 --> 01:35:47.909
different rating. Yeah. Yep. So, the C - on training

01:35:47.909 --> 01:35:52.289
staff. Only 69 % feel they have enough one -on

01:35:52.289 --> 01:35:54.630
-one training. And they feel the staff slightly

01:35:54.630 --> 01:35:59.130
contributes to their overall success. Yeah. Weight

01:35:59.130 --> 01:36:01.970
room is where they had a big rating increase.

01:36:02.310 --> 01:36:06.770
Let's go to the next one. Team travel. D. 28th

01:36:06.770 --> 01:36:08.989
out of 32. You're in the frickin' middle of the

01:36:08.989 --> 01:36:13.270
country. Nothing is a very long flight. But 60

01:36:13.270 --> 01:36:15.350
% of the Browns players feel they have comfortable

01:36:15.350 --> 01:36:21.090
personal space, which means 40 % don't. And that's

01:36:21.090 --> 01:36:23.029
eight out of your 53 players that just don't

01:36:23.029 --> 01:36:25.970
have enough room. The players feel the team's

01:36:25.970 --> 01:36:29.149
travel schedule is not efficient, ranking at

01:36:29.149 --> 01:36:32.210
28th out of 32. So they can't even get, I mean,

01:36:32.210 --> 01:36:35.289
it's things like having a flight that leaves

01:36:35.289 --> 01:36:38.430
at 2 in the morning. Or having a flight that

01:36:38.430 --> 01:36:41.649
has a six -hour layover somewhere. I mean, that's

01:36:41.649 --> 01:36:43.569
the kind of thing they're talking about in convenient

01:36:43.569 --> 01:36:47.869
travel. I realize you can't get a non -stop on

01:36:47.869 --> 01:36:49.909
everything because I've battled it every time

01:36:49.909 --> 01:36:55.239
we go somewhere. A six -hour layover is indicative

01:36:55.239 --> 01:36:58.239
of the cheapest fucking flight you can get. That's

01:36:58.239 --> 01:37:02.819
like a Spirit meets Frontier layover deal. And

01:37:02.819 --> 01:37:05.600
it's odd because a lot of teams have their own

01:37:05.600 --> 01:37:08.279
plane that they either own or lease. And there

01:37:08.279 --> 01:37:11.439
are still some teams that fly commercial. And

01:37:11.439 --> 01:37:13.579
that's where you run into the big -ass layovers.

01:37:14.159 --> 01:37:16.720
They go with Allegiant, the one where you have

01:37:16.720 --> 01:37:18.899
to fit their schedule. It's like, okay, we run

01:37:18.899 --> 01:37:22.960
one to Vegas every month. Either be there or

01:37:22.960 --> 01:37:24.979
don't. Oh, also, we're out of the downtown airport.

01:37:25.199 --> 01:37:28.859
We're not even at KCI. Yeah. Exciting. No, actually,

01:37:29.000 --> 01:37:31.720
I like that. You're right in. That's true. You

01:37:31.720 --> 01:37:34.600
can take the streetcar down there. Yeah. Head

01:37:34.600 --> 01:37:40.260
coach. C. 67 % feel that Kevin Stepanski is efficient

01:37:40.260 --> 01:37:43.060
with their time. So a third say he's wasting

01:37:43.060 --> 01:37:46.000
my time, man. That's fucked up. Isn't it? Well,

01:37:46.140 --> 01:37:49.340
I would agree from what I've seen. Yeah. Oh.

01:37:49.760 --> 01:37:53.960
And he's rated as moderately receptive to locker

01:37:53.960 --> 01:37:56.840
room feedback, but that puts him 30 out of 32.

01:37:57.260 --> 01:38:00.020
Everybody else is way more receptive to locker

01:38:00.020 --> 01:38:02.439
room feedback. Why they let that go on is beyond

01:38:02.439 --> 01:38:05.079
me. That's an easily correctable thing. Yeah,

01:38:05.119 --> 01:38:07.359
yeah. And even though he's getting a C, it's

01:38:07.359 --> 01:38:09.560
still, like, way worse than everybody else. This

01:38:09.560 --> 01:38:11.779
isn't a guy you had your bet on anyhow, man.

01:38:11.880 --> 01:38:16.279
Yeah. So, anyhow. Ownership gets a C+. Okay.

01:38:16.279 --> 01:38:21.010
Jimmy Haslam's rating, C+. 7 .98 out of 10 for

01:38:21.010 --> 01:38:23.149
perceived willingness to invest in the facilities.

01:38:23.569 --> 01:38:29.970
Okay. Let's see. They believe that the ownership

01:38:29.970 --> 01:38:33.529
is slightly contributing to a positive team culture,

01:38:33.670 --> 01:38:36.390
29 out of 32, which means every other owner is

01:38:36.390 --> 01:38:40.010
doing it better. And ownership is somewhat committing

01:38:40.010 --> 01:38:43.449
to building a competitive franchise. Again, 29th

01:38:43.449 --> 01:38:45.810
out of 32. So it means everybody else is doing

01:38:45.810 --> 01:38:51.180
it better than you. How a team can look at this

01:38:51.180 --> 01:38:53.319
and say, eh, good enough, let's just go into

01:38:53.319 --> 01:38:54.800
next season. I don't get it either. I don't understand.

01:38:55.060 --> 01:38:56.979
Especially when you're making so much money off

01:38:56.979 --> 01:38:59.239
of this. Oh, I know. Do we want to continue these,

01:38:59.319 --> 01:39:01.000
or do you think maybe it's getting a little redundant

01:39:01.000 --> 01:39:05.619
at this point? Yeah, I think we can put a pause

01:39:05.619 --> 01:39:07.880
on it for now. Okay. We're up to an hour and

01:39:07.880 --> 01:39:09.779
40. Okay, is there anything else you want to

01:39:09.779 --> 01:39:11.760
talk about, or are we going to probably go to

01:39:11.760 --> 01:39:13.520
the music creeps? What do you want to do? Let's

01:39:13.520 --> 01:39:15.479
do music creeps. All right, let's do music creeps.

01:39:15.479 --> 01:39:17.619
I got a lot of stuff, too. I got a few things,

01:39:17.720 --> 01:39:21.720
but... Okay. All right. Okay, we'll all announce

01:39:21.720 --> 01:39:24.500
it on the music creeps. All right, so let's stop

01:39:24.500 --> 01:39:27.819
this one and get a new section. Okay, sounds

01:39:27.819 --> 01:39:30.500
good. So what do we want to tell everyone to

01:39:30.500 --> 01:39:33.279
do? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sorry. I was looking

01:39:33.279 --> 01:39:35.840
at stuff here. Hey, thanks for listening. Go

01:39:35.840 --> 01:39:40.340
fuck yourself. That's it. Your mama's so fat,

01:39:40.600 --> 01:39:46.460
Dracula bit her neck and got diabetes. Oh, no.

01:39:46.619 --> 01:39:49.859
Looks like the show's over, kids. Mark has explosive

01:39:49.859 --> 01:39:53.520
diarrhea and can't afford a wireless mic. Fear

01:39:53.520 --> 01:39:55.939
not, assholes. They'll be back invading your

01:39:55.939 --> 01:39:56.699
ear holes soon.
