Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast, Making America great again. Welcome
Speaker 1: to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast. I'm
Speaker 1: your host, Colleen Wolf, and I'm joined by a room
Speaker 1: billed with some heroes, Mark Settler and Gregg Rosenthal. Hold up,
Speaker 1: I mean that money draft put me in a salty
Speaker 1: in a weird place place leading into our nation's independent celebration. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know who chooses those, but I would agree
Speaker 1: with you. Yeah. Well, I mean, at least this certain show.
Speaker 1: It's a special one. It's it's really I think I
Speaker 1: gonna put everybody in a good place where they are
Speaker 1: in their lives. It's our best of edition. Whoo yeah,
Speaker 1: I get excited. It's a couple of segments, you know,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be taking. We're taking literally segments Monday. We're
Speaker 1: in Tuesday. We're off next week, and so we thought
Speaker 1: maybe for some people who haven't been keeping up with
Speaker 1: us all off season long, that we would highlight a
Speaker 1: few of our favorite segments of the off season, including
Speaker 1: a fun uh goodbye at the very end to our
Speaker 1: our long lost and lovely producer Sydney Carlson. That's all
Speaker 1: well and good. My only concern would be that whenever
Speaker 1: and someone puts out like a best of hits, like
Speaker 1: a singer, it's a total mail and job. And secondly,
Speaker 1: when when you were young, but when they'd have like
Speaker 1: best of silver spoons are best of different strokes, it
Speaker 1: actually had value because you didn't have access to these
Speaker 1: shows you could it was up to the TV station
Speaker 1: decide what episode they give you, so when they cobble
Speaker 1: it all together, it was a nice kind of collection
Speaker 1: of memories. These podcasts are so easily trackable and downloadable
Speaker 1: that you could easily go find it's fair the episode
Speaker 1: that this came from, if you want to. But if
Speaker 1: if you're if you're that lazy, we've we've put two
Speaker 1: together for you, and here they come. Well, should we
Speaker 1: come in and just do a podcast? No, no, I'm
Speaker 1: not suggesting that. So it's fine. I mean, but people,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of podcasts episodes to go through this
Speaker 1: offseason if you haven't been listening every time, and it
Speaker 1: could take Let's be honest, some post show grades that
Speaker 1: weren't all a minus to anyone that's not listening to
Speaker 1: to noncompletest, I don't cater to them on the show.
Speaker 1: This might be the last podcast because the last on
Speaker 1: the last podcast, that's our producer Sean Sullivan. Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: hey guys, last podcast, Greg was gonna go round up firearms,
Speaker 1: fireworks and beer, and we may all be in prison
Speaker 1: as you listen to this. I hope you have bail
Speaker 1: money somewhere. It's like stocked away somewhere, because I don't.
Speaker 1: I was once bailed out of the Orleans Paris prison
Speaker 1: by whom by a friend. I was bailed out of
Speaker 1: the wild Wood, New Jersey. Oh, we need to hear
Speaker 1: these by who. That's next time, my aunt and uncle. Okay,
Speaker 1: next time we're out of jail podcast. But now I
Speaker 1: think we've got some great segments. Yes, let's get to
Speaker 1: it without further ado our best of It is time
Speaker 1: now to bring it back. You're the GM and this
Speaker 1: is a game we um we We did it for
Speaker 1: the first time last March, and we figured now with
Speaker 1: free agency really died down and teams are now maybe
Speaker 1: starting to look more towards the draft and and what
Speaker 1: pieces where they're still holes as we start to head
Speaker 1: towards before you know it, O t A is in
Speaker 1: about a month. So is it a month or is
Speaker 1: it just workout is it. That's all the same whatever
Speaker 1: teams are gonna start working out next month. Uh, it's
Speaker 1: crazy how it works, but here we go. They gotta
Speaker 1: start figuring out who's gonna be on their team in
Speaker 1: two thousand and seventeen. So the g MS Goswilder first
Speaker 1: string quarterback, they all they all talked to each other.
Speaker 1: They all talked to each other. So we're gonna pull
Speaker 1: back the curtain and UM, let you know what what
Speaker 1: it's like. And Mark, why don't you get us going?
Speaker 1: You can tell us who you are portraying, what GM,
Speaker 1: who you are calling, and let us know which one
Speaker 1: of us will portray that other GM, and then we'll
Speaker 1: let the listeners know, um what that conversation entailed. All right,
Speaker 1: I will be playing Brown's executive VP of operations, Saw
Speaker 1: listeners should know. A year A year ago, at this point,
Speaker 1: Sashi turned down a deal that would have gotten a
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan over some haggling between a first or a
Speaker 1: third round pick and in retrospect, thing you weren't right
Speaker 1: in a column about him. In retrospect, Sashi might have
Speaker 1: just wanted to go get that quarterback back, So Mark
Speaker 1: As Sashi turned down Matt Ryan moved down around. Now
Speaker 1: you have a chance to redeem yourself and Sashi in
Speaker 1: a spot. I am calling up the Patriots for one
Speaker 1: very obvious reason. We're not gonna let this happen again.
Speaker 1: So let's dial up the Massachusetts area code and speak
Speaker 1: to Bill Belichick as played by Dan Hans Bill Belichick's office.
Speaker 1: Please hold, that's the same as the most you came
Speaker 1: that can be, So give meg it round, Bill, Bill,
Speaker 1: Sashi Brown right out here in Cleveland. You know you're
Speaker 1: old stomping grounds. You gotta be kidding me. We've done
Speaker 1: some deals before I got you. Barkvous Mingo helped bring
Speaker 1: you a Super Bowl title that went very well. Are
Speaker 1: you being a smartass? Hold on a second, please, Sashi, Sashi, sashy,
Speaker 1: Sorry about that. Bill. A lot going on here on
Speaker 1: ringing all the time. Listen. I think it's out there.
Speaker 1: We knit. The Browns need a quarterback. I think it's
Speaker 1: the least you could do for us is to listen
Speaker 1: to my offer. I will listen. I will this, This
Speaker 1: is it. I'm listening. I gotta get on seven rings
Speaker 1: in a few minutes. But you got me for now, Sashi.
Speaker 1: Let's start. We're gonna go with Sashi. Please, Okay, we're
Speaker 1: gonna start right here. I'm I'm gonna give you our
Speaker 1: highest number two pick this year. And on top of it,
Speaker 1: you know you've got one of the great line coaches
Speaker 1: in the NFL, Dante Scarnekia. I'm gonna help bolster your
Speaker 1: offensive line with a couple of players here. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: read them off. You've taken notes. I'll do what I want.
Speaker 1: Second round pick plus left tackle Joe Thomas, left guard,
Speaker 1: Joel Patonio, offensive lineman Spencer Durango, center, j C. Treader,
Speaker 1: lineman Zack Stirrup lineman Marcus Martin, offensive lineman Austin Wryter,
Speaker 1: interior offensive lineman Gabe Ikard, guard John Greco, guard Kevin Zeitler,
Speaker 1: who we just signed X first round center m Irvin
Speaker 1: and tackle Austin Passer as a bonus Wolf Russell throw
Speaker 1: in Sean Coleman. Bolstering your offensive line, you get a
Speaker 1: second round pick. You give us Jimmy g We'll pay
Speaker 1: for the plane ticket and the eighteen plane tickets that
Speaker 1: I've the people I'm sending your way. Um question, Hold
Speaker 1: on a second, please, Sashi, sashy, Sashi, We're back what's
Speaker 1: going on in Cleveland? You seem a little distracted, and
Speaker 1: maybe that explains that awful trade offer. I have one
Speaker 1: of the best offensive lines in the a f C
Speaker 1: with Scarneck him Dante. I don't need more offensive lineman.
Speaker 1: This makes no sense. You're you're not You're bad at
Speaker 1: your job. Sashi and I, you know, I think you
Speaker 1: should take what I I say too hard because I'm
Speaker 1: quite respected in these circles and you're completely overmatched. It
Speaker 1: feels that way at this point in the conversation. Can
Speaker 1: we get Jimmy g away from you for anything? This
Speaker 1: has to happen. You understand the Browns? Where what's your
Speaker 1: starting point? I do understand the Browns. The Browns fired me,
Speaker 1: the Browns embarrassed me, and I will never ever do
Speaker 1: anything to help them, never a turn for the worst.
Speaker 1: That did not terrible, A terrible. It's a bad situation.
Speaker 1: It's a bad situation. I thought Austin Pastor would have
Speaker 1: put it over the top, but that's what I was
Speaker 1: thinking something. There's a lot of alignment to deal with.
Speaker 1: There would he to do with that? I kind of yeah,
Speaker 1: I wonder, I wonder if Sashia was on any mind
Speaker 1: expanding agents before he made that phone call. It feels possible.
Speaker 1: All right, West, you're up. I am Titans g M,
Speaker 1: John Robinson and greg Is Seahawks GM, John Snyder m HM. Exciting.
Speaker 1: Hello Schnids, Robbie here, put your shirt on for this one.
Speaker 1: I'm excited. Everything in Seattle is exciting. Look, word around
Speaker 1: the campfire here in GM circles is that you are
Speaker 1: willing to trade that Na're do well? Richard Sherman, who
Speaker 1: spends most of his time undermining the coaching staff, threatening
Speaker 1: to ruin reporters careers, and yelling at his teammates. If
Speaker 1: if the price is right, I hear he's available. Look,
Speaker 1: we've got two first round picks. I'm willing to give
Speaker 1: you the eighteen and a conditional fourth round pick in
Speaker 1: two thousand eighteen for Richard Sherman. We need a shutdown
Speaker 1: corner here in Tennessee. Why Why why are you trying
Speaker 1: to downplay our guy as you're trying to trade for him?
Speaker 1: Why are you trying to trade for him? If you
Speaker 1: think you everybody knows, everybody knows watching them on the market,
Speaker 1: he's too. He's a paint in your ass right now?
Speaker 1: What what are What are the conditions you just say,
Speaker 1: conditional fourth round pick. I want to know these conditions
Speaker 1: if if we go to the playoffs, it moves up
Speaker 1: to a third. Oh, it's interesting. M hmm. There's just
Speaker 1: like a peanut gallery on the line. Nice, nice move.
Speaker 1: I like it. I'm gonna need more for that, because
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, Richard Sherman still a great cornerback.
Speaker 1: He's a big personality. That's kind of how we roll.
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta admit I get a little board
Speaker 1: around here sometimes. I kind of like seeing Pete go
Speaker 1: after these players, big personalities, Like that's what we do.
Speaker 1: We're a zoo. The number eighteen pick for a top
Speaker 1: top ten pick, top twenty pick in the draft, no
Speaker 1: top ten cornerback. I'm gonna upgrade the conditional to a
Speaker 1: conditional third renner that can go to a second if
Speaker 1: we make the playoffs. And look, you might think we're
Speaker 1: a cute little operation down here in Nashville. We're a
Speaker 1: team on the rise. You better respect us. We're going
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. Is this a threat? John rob a thread,
Speaker 1: John to another, I've been in this business for a while.
Speaker 1: You just kind of came in as a GM. You
Speaker 1: see those pictures of me in the locker room with
Speaker 1: the shirt off. You only do that when you win titles.
Speaker 1: I'm keeping Richard Sherman. Forget this. I thought that chance happen.
Speaker 1: It's the last time I called Greg in a fake conversation.
Speaker 1: Greg surprisingly hard to negotiate with. On the trade, Sherman
Speaker 1: worth a little more than that? What was the trade? Again?
Speaker 1: I got a little caught up in the first first
Speaker 1: round pick umber eighteen overall pick, and the third round
Speaker 1: I can get up to a second. I would have
Speaker 1: taken what year old corner making eleven million a year.
Speaker 1: It's a good deal. Honestly, you don't think that's a
Speaker 1: tasty deal at all. I feel like you guys could
Speaker 1: have I would have taken that deal. This told me
Speaker 1: to respect him. It was kind of similar, similar to
Speaker 1: what happened last year when I listened to this podcast
Speaker 1: US again, feelings got in the way. He told me
Speaker 1: in respect him, I was. I was kind of leaning
Speaker 1: towards taking it, and then thought, who's this John Robinson guy?
Speaker 1: You know he he only gets hired because, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: ownership can't find anyone better. That was based on Michael
Speaker 1: Lombardi said in The Ringer this week that the Seahawks
Speaker 1: are willing to trade Richard Sherman. Interesting, all right, next up,
Speaker 1: wes Um, this is something you've always wanted to do.
Speaker 1: He's gonna come back into the picture. Now. You will
Speaker 1: be playing Bill Belichick and you are getting a phone
Speaker 1: call from none other than Big Mac. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: on an answer bello. Chick here, Bill, I got you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm mean Big Mac, the MacMan, Mike mccagman. Who who
Speaker 1: are you? I'm another general manager in your division. I'm
Speaker 1: employed by the New York your former team. I mean
Speaker 1: I was with him for five minutes. Literally, wait a second, Bill,
Speaker 1: do you really forget that you were the offense of
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator in m Come back to us, Bill, ever,
Speaker 1: come back to you? Literally, please come back to it.
Speaker 1: All right, Big Mac here, you know who this is.
Speaker 1: You know this is all right? Here we go and
Speaker 1: I'm being dead series. I know, I know, I know,
Speaker 1: I know you would never trade Jimmy g to a
Speaker 1: Well I was gonna say rival, but you don't view
Speaker 1: the Jets as arrival. Let's be honest. For for twenty years,
Speaker 1: you've been getting the upper hand on the Jets, Um
Speaker 1: and I know that right now. What are the problems?
Speaker 1: And I think one of the reasons why you have
Speaker 1: not traded Jimmy G to that bum Sashi. First of all,
Speaker 1: he's a total lothario, cannot focus on anything. I heard
Speaker 1: about the phone call you got where he offered an
Speaker 1: entire offensive line while he was in the middle of
Speaker 1: a Koita session. That was weird. The whole league's talking
Speaker 1: about it. So you don't want to do business at
Speaker 1: that guy, and I get that, So let me. I'll
Speaker 1: never talk to Sashi again after that bizarre phone call.
Speaker 1: I mean, Cleveland has never been in a worse spot
Speaker 1: than they are right now. So you were like, bros,
Speaker 1: we can wrap Big Mac here, Big Mac in the
Speaker 1: Big Bay. I only rap on snap face. All right,
Speaker 1: So Bill, and you're gonna think this as a joke,
Speaker 1: but think about your long term future with the team.
Speaker 1: You know, Tommy boy has got another five years and
Speaker 1: I want Jimmy G. I want him. I want to
Speaker 1: swoop in. No one thinks that you would trade him.
Speaker 1: What's the thing that the Patriots do. They do things
Speaker 1: people don't expect. Trade me, Jimmy Gane. This would I'll
Speaker 1: give you and and don't snicker. Take this seriously. You
Speaker 1: could choose literally any player currently on my roster. That's
Speaker 1: not that's the starting point. That's the starting point. I've
Speaker 1: seen your roster. You can don't laugh at me. Yeah, Levin, Levin,
Speaker 1: try to pry away and have fourte from you. Um listen,
Speaker 1: I'm talking. You know you can get more workers and motivated.
Speaker 1: Leonard Williams. Hello, you know you could do damage with
Speaker 1: Leonard Williams. Darren Leaves a great young linebacker. I got
Speaker 1: some skill. I got some skill on this on this
Speaker 1: team anyway. So that's just the starting point. Any player,
Speaker 1: let's make him winner Williams. All right, Letty Williams the
Speaker 1: first round pick two thousand seventeen, two thousand eighteen, and
Speaker 1: a conventional third round pick in two thousand nineteen. That
Speaker 1: becomes a first round pick if the Jets reach the
Speaker 1: conference title game in the next two years and you
Speaker 1: send me your backup quarterback that you don't even plan
Speaker 1: to play for the next three to five years. First
Speaker 1: of all, your instincts are correct. I don't see you
Speaker 1: as a rival. I never have. That hurts my feelings,
Speaker 1: But go on, Uh but here's the deal. If I
Speaker 1: trade Jimmy Garoppolo to you, we view him as a
Speaker 1: future superstar, That's when I'll start viewing you as a rival.
Speaker 1: And I have traded Drew Bledsoe with him my division
Speaker 1: because I knew he was washed up. Look, we had
Speaker 1: him here. He's a fine guy, makes a great wine,
Speaker 1: but he was done and I knew it. I wasn't
Speaker 1: afraid of him. I am afraid if Jimmy goes there,
Speaker 1: the Jets Tom Brady could go down, and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, the balance of power ships in that division
Speaker 1: to the team that does have a quarterback. It is
Speaker 1: a It is the most tempting offer I've gotten, certainly
Speaker 1: more tempting than the one for seventeen offensive lineman. And
Speaker 1: it is a very fair, fair offer. And I have
Speaker 1: much more respect for you as as a man and
Speaker 1: general manager. I will no longer act like you're not
Speaker 1: even in my division anymore. But I can't. I can't
Speaker 1: take the deal. I can't. I can't prop up the
Speaker 1: Jets as a franchise with an actual quarterback. Bill and
Speaker 1: I all that I appreciate, but I have to tell
Speaker 1: you if I don't get a quarterback. I'm gonna get fired.
Speaker 1: I need this Big maxim French fries, get big Macs,
Speaker 1: shake you reek of inspiration, Big Mac his special sauce.
Speaker 1: Give me Jimmy Chee. Hang up. All right, Belichick, tough negotiator.
Speaker 1: I thought he might take that. That was a good deal.
Speaker 1: Now we're trying to win super Bowls, not collect first
Speaker 1: round picks. Okay, next up, Greg, m all right, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be Tom Coughlin, Jacksonville Jaguars. The GM is not
Speaker 1: even making the call out of Jack. That guy, he's
Speaker 1: basically how he Roseman in two thousand and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: call old Steve Kimie Steve kim played by Mark ki Bomb. Okay,
Speaker 1: machine here, kim me. I'm back. This is Tom Coughlin.
Speaker 1: You're old about. We're just a couple of football guys.
Speaker 1: I'm back in the league. Are you making the calls
Speaker 1: out of your organization? What's sort of chaos raveling in
Speaker 1: your on your team? A break? I'll tell you why
Speaker 1: I start here. I got old, I got old called well,
Speaker 1: you know, go and go look at some rookie quarterbacks. Buddy,
Speaker 1: you know, I'll be sure to read the report you
Speaker 1: write Uphill project called, well, these guys are crazy over here.
Speaker 1: I came down here. These guys think Blake Bortles is
Speaker 1: it Blake boards nice quarterback? We gotta win this game
Speaker 1: that they think they've won some super Bowls around here.
Speaker 1: They haven't won five more than five games since two
Speaker 1: thousand and eleven. You know how hard that is to
Speaker 1: do in the NFL. That's how it was when I
Speaker 1: got here, before I turned everything around Tom Coughlin. Tom
Speaker 1: Coughlin doesn't mess around with five and eleven. And so
Speaker 1: I've got a deal for you. I think you're gonna
Speaker 1: want to listen to this. Unroll it. Carson Palmer's he's
Speaker 1: at the end of the line. He's thinking about retiring.
Speaker 1: That's your opinion. He was thinking about what people said
Speaker 1: about you. He was thinking about Irene. Larry Fitzgerald, I
Speaker 1: was thinking about retiring. You're you're in a pickle. I
Speaker 1: just was watching the old NFL network. One of the
Speaker 1: best guys out there, Chris Wesley, says, your window is closed. Kimie.
Speaker 1: You've got a rough offseason, this Germaine Gresham contract. It's
Speaker 1: time to reload. You got some nice young talent. Give
Speaker 1: away trade away a couple of guys at the end
Speaker 1: of the line, Carson Palmer and Larry Fitzgerald short term solutions.
Speaker 1: Here's what I'll do for you. I'll send you back
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles, just so you have someone I know. I
Speaker 1: know Bruce. He's great with the big armed young quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: I'll send you Blake Bortles. I'll send you Alan Hearns,
Speaker 1: nice young wide receiver. He's a guy who's gonna be
Speaker 1: around for a little while. And I'll give you a
Speaker 1: second round pick in this year's draft. Two you're trading
Speaker 1: me two guys who aren't even gonna be in the NFL.
Speaker 1: I can't stand this whole five win nonsense with Blake
Speaker 1: Bortles this year. There's no chance we're gonna win games.
Speaker 1: You helped me out right out. I'm getting old. I
Speaker 1: can't wait around you. Reek of desperation. Uh com Machine,
Speaker 1: don't play that. I don't know who this Chris guy
Speaker 1: is from a football website either. Are you coming out
Speaker 1: with a very bizarre argument. You're gonna tell me that
Speaker 1: you're essentially trading me Alan Hearns and a nonfunctional quarterback
Speaker 1: for a Hall of Fame receiver. And you don't. You
Speaker 1: don't listen very well to what Bruce arians said a
Speaker 1: few years ago that Carson Palmer can play deep into
Speaker 1: his thirties, maybe even longer. You guys think he's done
Speaker 1: after this season. Nice try, buddy, You've got a sweet
Speaker 1: in the pot. You're gonna give me your biggest problem.
Speaker 1: That's the trade you're coming up with Blake Bortles. Then
Speaker 1: what do I do? How do I sell that to
Speaker 1: the people in Arizona? I think your medications, you know,
Speaker 1: the kind of colliding you can going a little SOUPI
Speaker 1: over there. This guy Palmer, you didn't even know if
Speaker 1: he was gonna play anymore in the middle of January.
Speaker 1: You gotta start thinking about the future. All right, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what you got. I'll change You got two
Speaker 1: more minutes with me. I'll change it up. Change up
Speaker 1: your Allan's I'll give you Allen Robinson. I'll bump up
Speaker 1: that draft pick up to a first round pick. You're
Speaker 1: leaving me with no quarterback. You give me a first
Speaker 1: round draft pick, giving you a first round pick. You
Speaker 1: guys got a lot of young talent there. You're not
Speaker 1: winning with this Palmer Fitzgerald thing. I gotta win. This
Speaker 1: guy shot Conn he wants the movie. Where are you
Speaker 1: picking this year in the draft? What number you I'm
Speaker 1: a pie. Oh you should probably know offhand. But if
Speaker 1: you don't, that that leaves only more concerned. I mean
Speaker 1: the top five. Baby, you're giving me this year's first
Speaker 1: round pick. You're giving me Allen Robinson Dan Blake Bortles
Speaker 1: for these two players. Deal done, baby? Wow? Wow, we
Speaker 1: got a deal. Wow? Alright? Crazy to take that deal
Speaker 1: when he's sweeten the pot with the first round, this
Speaker 1: year's first round or Jacksonville picks. Where I think the
Speaker 1: I think, I think you just had the time of
Speaker 1: your life in a big spot, just got fired advantage
Speaker 1: of old Tommy boy. If you believe, if you believe internally,
Speaker 1: if you're Arizona, you say, I think we maxed out
Speaker 1: with this roster, getting rid of Fits and Carson who
Speaker 1: aren't gonna be there next year. And now you just
Speaker 1: you know Bordles. It's a project. Obviously, Robinson's a number
Speaker 1: one wide receiver potentially, and you got a first round pick,
Speaker 1: and you trust your draft process had a shaky draft
Speaker 1: last year. If I don't uh it was, but you
Speaker 1: got David Johnson the third round the year before. Like
Speaker 1: what I did there? The second round was a second
Speaker 1: time drives a hard bargain. Time did a nice job.
Speaker 1: Tom is desperate. You know who should get Steve come
Speaker 1: The Browns had trade all those draft assets to get
Speaker 1: Steve Kim. Well, you know, as someone who supports Sashi Brown,
Speaker 1: I don't feel I did in any favors with this
Speaker 1: this segment, but maybe he'll return a quick one before
Speaker 1: before we go around. Um uh, Greg, you're gonna You're
Speaker 1: gonna play Chris Greer of the Dolphins, okay, and I
Speaker 1: will be Chris Ballard of the Cults. Hello, I'm Chris Greer.
Speaker 1: Who's Chris gear? Hi, I'm Chris Ballard. Do you want
Speaker 1: to come over? Uh? Hey, Mikey T Mikey. Can I
Speaker 1: go over to Chris Chris Ballard's house? Oh yeah, he says,
Speaker 1: I don't really do that much around here. I can
Speaker 1: come over. I got a cotton candy machine. I love
Speaker 1: cotton candy. What's your favorite type of frog? What cults
Speaker 1: are in? Fine? Fine hands? Something about the Ballard and
Speaker 1: I don't know. I can't put my finger on it. Alright,
Speaker 1: one more time around the horn? Now, all right? Mark,
Speaker 1: I am Saints something or other. Mickey loomis dialing up
Speaker 1: Ted Thompson is played by Christopher Wesley Thompson. Here three rings, guys.
Speaker 1: Mickey Loomis from down to New Orleans. I got a
Speaker 1: lot in my mind, My moms, I'm I got a
Speaker 1: lot going on. I got I'm trying to juggle two
Speaker 1: teams here. I can have you won a game since
Speaker 1: you traded for Bookie Cousins. I don't know our record,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I gotta make a deal. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of pressure on me. Sean Payton is trying to get
Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler. He's gonna over sell for that I need.
Speaker 1: He told me we got to get this defense, which
Speaker 1: has been historically awful. I haven't thought about the Saints
Speaker 1: defense since I'm not kidding you two thousand ten, I
Speaker 1: have not thought about them once speaking defense, and it
Speaker 1: reflects your thinking. I got too much going on in
Speaker 1: the mind. New Orleans is a crazy town to try
Speaker 1: to have a full time job. And I think you
Speaker 1: can understand where I'm coming from. Ted, I gotta do
Speaker 1: a deal. Will you listen? At least I'm here for you.
Speaker 1: I know you don't like offseason maneuvering. But this could do.
Speaker 1: This could be good for you too. They're calling you
Speaker 1: inactive that you just go to sleep in March. Here
Speaker 1: we go. I'm gonna give you running back mark Ingram.
Speaker 1: You need a running back. You just lost Eddie Lacy.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you New Orleans Pelicans point guard Drew
Speaker 1: Holiday and power forward Anthony Davis four in return, Clay Matthews,
Speaker 1: Packers game day broadcaster Wayne Lavie. We haven't hope. We
Speaker 1: have a hole there. And the guy knows basketball too,
Speaker 1: and offensive perimetery coach David Ray. I need that guy too.
Speaker 1: What do you say, Teddy there? I gotta make this
Speaker 1: happens actually writing these down, Yeah, I gotta the Ray guy.
Speaker 1: Come on, Well, I don't I'm not very active in
Speaker 1: March usually, so I do have to write this kind
Speaker 1: of stuff down. Uh, you know what, it's a deal.
Speaker 1: It's you know you people don't know this about me.
Speaker 1: I am a huge NBA fan. I'm a big Bucks fan.
Speaker 1: And if I compare the Greek Freak with Anthony Davis
Speaker 1: and Drew Holiday, we got we got a team here
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin. It's a deal. Clay Matthews, look have fun
Speaker 1: with him. He hasn't made a play in two years.
Speaker 1: Thank you. I'm not gonna watch a Saints game all season,
Speaker 1: but they're gonna love this Clay Matthews business. I'll go
Speaker 1: tell coach Sean Payton. You sure it's a deal. We're good,
Speaker 1: We're good. I have always had a saucepot for the
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks, all the way back to the the dandridge days.
Speaker 1: Jack Sikma, Paul McCaskey, let's do it. My day is done.
Speaker 1: Thank you, buddy. Anthony Davis now a member of Milwaukee Bucks.
Speaker 1: I like it. I think the next phone calls from
Speaker 1: Adam Silver, the NBA commissioner. That's fair, all right? Wow,
Speaker 1: I can't believe that one. I know Tom's and able
Speaker 1: to help out the Buck Bucks. Um, all right, Mark,
Speaker 1: you will be portraying Texans general manager Rick Smith and
Speaker 1: oh sassy, and you will be getting a phone call
Speaker 1: from Broncos general manager John Elway. Texans general manager Rick
Speaker 1: Smith on the line. Reck, it's John Elway. I don't
Speaker 1: you know your worst night man? Yeah, I mean, this
Speaker 1: is not the call I was hoping for. What's on
Speaker 1: your mind? Let me I got one thing to say
Speaker 1: to you. I'm not here to make a trade. If
Speaker 1: you know what's good for you, you'll stay away from Romo.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. He's damaged goods. He's barely
Speaker 1: played in two years. He stinks. You know that you
Speaker 1: like Scoff too much, Jessica Simpson? Can you say distraction?
Speaker 1: He's holding a fantasy football summer this summer, gambling much?
Speaker 1: You won't. You don't want that guy. Have you looked
Speaker 1: at our quarterback roster? You know all about brock cost
Speaker 1: while the guy we lost, we have someone named Tom
Speaker 1: Savage who could be our starter. If we don't have
Speaker 1: to go after Romo. You gotta be kide me. We're
Speaker 1: gonna go hard after Romo, steal the Texas spotlight away
Speaker 1: from the Cowboys. You pulled this move with with Peyton
Speaker 1: Manning a couple of years ago and one of Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Why don't we want to just do the same thing
Speaker 1: down here in Houston. I've been through eight quarterbacks. I
Speaker 1: don't I'm running out of time here. What happened to
Speaker 1: your accent? Great question. I'm a man of many personalities.
Speaker 1: All Right, I'm back. I gotta go, but let me
Speaker 1: just tell you something. I got some Papa John's deals
Speaker 1: to finish up. This is not a threat, but stay away.
Speaker 1: And last comment, I'm recording this phone call. Last thing
Speaker 1: I gotta say when it comes to Tony Romo, This
Speaker 1: one's for John. It's a competitor that guy. Total. Oh,
Speaker 1: I think I think that we know what the Texans
Speaker 1: are gonna do. You're gonna look into the Keler business.
Speaker 1: It's interesting, Drett, Greg finish us off. I go, oh,
Speaker 1: I've only done one. Oh, I'm sorry, We go ahead.
Speaker 1: I am Rams general manager, Less Sneat and Mark is
Speaker 1: Titans general manager John Robinson. Mm hm. Back on the line,
Speaker 1: Johnny rob Here, Johnny rob this is Less Sneeze, Very Lester,
Speaker 1: how you doing doing great? Look, I heard everybody's talking
Speaker 1: about how poorly John Schneider treated you when you made
Speaker 1: a fair offer for a cornerback. I thought it was
Speaker 1: very fair. I've got Truemaine Johnson here. I will give
Speaker 1: you trum Cowboys. I will give you Truemaine Johnson for
Speaker 1: a bottle of hair spray. Oh, hold only here, so
Speaker 1: I gotta absorb basically his franchise tag. Are we gonna
Speaker 1: Is this guy willing to play a ball? I'm giving.
Speaker 1: I'm giving you a lockdown cornerback. I need to know
Speaker 1: what happens after this season. We we'd have to we
Speaker 1: we'd have to make sure that we get him on
Speaker 1: a full deal before we do this. I ask you
Speaker 1: for the capray. It's why would you want that? You do?
Speaker 1: You don't like this player? He's he doesn't fit in
Speaker 1: your system? Is that what you're telling me? Something feels
Speaker 1: something stinks here. To be honest with you, my franchise
Speaker 1: is the only one in the NFL that believes Truemaine
Speaker 1: Johnson is worth sixteen million dollars. I just want to
Speaker 1: get my hair right. It's it's a compelling deal from
Speaker 1: a value standpoint. Uh sure, let's do it, all right,
Speaker 1: I would ask him to take some of the money back.
Speaker 1: Maybe it seems kind of like a no brainer though,
Speaker 1: I mean a hair sprayed cash to burn down at
Speaker 1: tendency cheap when you deal. Alright, finally, Greg, So this
Speaker 1: is finally Okay. I had a couple of all right,
Speaker 1: let's uh, I'll be uh. I'll be Bills general manager
Speaker 1: Doug Whalley, and I'm calling um Reggie Mackenzie, Oakland Raiders
Speaker 1: general manager played by Dan who's this who? Big couple,
Speaker 1: but you're the raiders. Sugar Bear, sugar Bear, sugar Bear

Speaker 1: just checking checking out road World again to check out
Speaker 1: this new news story. It's gonna be bothered, are you okay?
Speaker 1: I promise you. I saw a report e J. Mihannuel
Speaker 1: that you're thinking of a signing. EJ. Manuel. Sugar reports
Speaker 1: are out there, but it's not done. You right, it's
Speaker 1: not done. But sugar Bear likes him. Sugar Bell thinks

Speaker 1: normally done in the NFL. I'll get you back. I
Speaker 1: love this guy, e J. Manuel. I think if no
Speaker 1: one signs him until the draft, I can maybe get
Speaker 1: him back on my roster. Please. It's Bill Simmons. Sugar
Speaker 1: Bears at a loss for words right now. Sugar Bear
Speaker 1: looks at e J. Manuel is a sunken cost for
Speaker 1: the team out of Western New York. Sugar bassies the
Speaker 1: team out of Western New York is being a problematic
Speaker 1: situation with EJ. Manuel? Why would you want him back?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Johnny Cocher talking to Bill Simmons. I
Speaker 1: love this guy. This is what Sean said. You were
Speaker 1: gonna say what I called you two? Do you want
Speaker 1: me to get out of the e J Manual business?
Speaker 1: Is that what you're Just leave him alone? Just leave
Speaker 1: him alone. This is my guy, sugar Bear. Sugar I
Speaker 1: don't know what that means, but Sugar Bear has a heart,
Speaker 1: and I know that you seem to be going through
Speaker 1: some things. Sugar Bet out no e J to Oakland bizarre. Wow.
Speaker 1: I need to figure out what song that was you
Speaker 1: were playing, Greg. I need to add that to the collection. Um,
Speaker 1: all right, Oh, Natalie and Brulius sounds a little sick.
Speaker 1: She's been through some stuff the last twenty years since
Speaker 1: we last heard from her. Um, there you go. So
Speaker 1: now now you understand what is going on behind the
Speaker 1: scenes in the NFL. It's very clear, all right. So
Speaker 1: every anybody that listens to this podcast knows the drama.
Speaker 1: Um that that has unfolded. At least in my life.
Speaker 1: Greg has distanced himself a little bit from it. But UM,
Speaker 1: a quick refresher. Derek Carr quarterback of the Oakland Raiders
Speaker 1: and brother of David Carr. Um. We myself, Dan and
Speaker 1: Greg were stunned to learn that we were blocked by Derek.
Speaker 1: Stunned and we didn't know why. And we're like big
Speaker 1: supporter of the Raiders this season, love Derek as a player,
Speaker 1: and from that point it was starting to eat me
Speaker 1: up inside. It's understandable. So we had just came over
Speaker 1: and asked me about it. We did that. You know,
Speaker 1: A big network star, So Lindsay who Lindsay Rhodes, who
Speaker 1: was an occasional UH co host guest on our podcast
Speaker 1: here came in a few weeks back and we said, Hey,
Speaker 1: when you know you're tight with David over on the
Speaker 1: studio side, can you put in a word for us
Speaker 1: to see if maybe David would come on, and maybe
Speaker 1: Derek can come on. We can work this out. Let's
Speaker 1: talk it out. And then I got this voicemail from
Speaker 1: Lindsay a day later. Dan, it's Lindsay. I just wanted
Speaker 1: to let you know that I've done my part to
Speaker 1: help repair the damage that you and Greg have done
Speaker 1: to your yet to exist relationship with Derek Carr. I
Speaker 1: spoke to his brother yesterday. I told him that the
Speaker 1: two of you were prepared to grovel, and he seemed
Speaker 1: interested in that. Uh, he seemed open to intervening on
Speaker 1: your behalf as well. So I've given him your name.
Speaker 1: He might pass them along to Derek if he can
Speaker 1: remember them. So that you noticed that you are miraculously
Speaker 1: unblocked in the next few days, then a You're welcome
Speaker 1: and be David failed because I told him to do
Speaker 1: nothing until he could come on the pod hear out
Speaker 1: your arguments, make you grovel a little bit, and then
Speaker 1: involved Derek live on the podcast because I'm all thought
Speaker 1: promoting your content. So you're welcome. You guys have a
Speaker 1: good champion there. Yeah, we love lindsay that that was
Speaker 1: a good good fun by you guys fitting that our
Speaker 1: champion throws in four or five pot shots. That's good. Perfect.
Speaker 1: So here we go. We want to figure out what
Speaker 1: we did wrong and if you, if you could serve
Speaker 1: as as the go between. Sure, yeah, I'd like to help.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'd love to help. You guys seem like
Speaker 1: great guys. You have a great relationship with your brain.
Speaker 1: I mean it's obviously come up in conversation at the
Speaker 1: dinner table often we often talk about blocking people. Yes,
Speaker 1: it happens, and it certainly appears like you and Derek
Speaker 1: have a great relations for the most part, we get
Speaker 1: along pretty good, very good. So maybe you can help
Speaker 1: us here. I would like that. I would like to
Speaker 1: help you. I think that having no understanding of what
Speaker 1: you guys actually put out there, I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: a little bit in the dark. But that's fine. Um,
Speaker 1: I'll do this just out of good faith that you
Speaker 1: won't say something stupid or inappropriate about the Oakland Raiders
Speaker 1: or my brother or probably about his children, which maybe
Speaker 1: that's what you did, because that's you would never do.
Speaker 1: So you would never say that. No, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1: He uh yeah, I think he'd be fine with it.
Speaker 1: I think I might do something like that. I would
Speaker 1: never know. I know you wouldn't, Dare, All right, why
Speaker 1: don't we do? Why don't we now? Geez, let's bring
Speaker 1: him on. Derek Carr of the Oakland Raiders. Are you there? Derek,
Speaker 1: I'm here, I am here. You shall receive there is
Speaker 1: You guys reached out to the right guy, because if
Speaker 1: anybody but my brother came to me, it would have
Speaker 1: just remained a big red act. Derek. I mean, I
Speaker 1: know you probably want to ask him, but I'm kind
Speaker 1: of curious too, Like, what do you think they said? Dude?
Speaker 1: I'm always you know, I pretty much know if I'm
Speaker 1: gonna block someone, it's like whack them all. You know,
Speaker 1: you gotta chucky cheese. It's gonna pop their heads and
Speaker 1: back down. But what do you know what they said?
Speaker 1: Do you have any idea? Um? No, yeah, I think
Speaker 1: he probably had good reason. No, I'm sure he did.
Speaker 1: I definitely didn't do it for no reason. You know
Speaker 1: what happened they're probably in the conversation or something exactly
Speaker 1: is you probably got tagged and thrown into something that
Speaker 1: you just you know, caught a right hook in between
Speaker 1: you know that the hook wasn't meant for you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm of two minds here because you know, I don't
Speaker 1: want to. I don't feel like I should grovel like
Speaker 1: like Lindsey said, I feel like at some level I've
Speaker 1: blocked a lot of people. You should just kind of
Speaker 1: take your block like a man, move on like you
Speaker 1: know who. I don't know why I blocked. I did
Speaker 1: have a theory though, that I'll throw by you see
Speaker 1: if if this makes any sense. I was at the
Speaker 1: Raiders playoff game, which you know, covering the game which
Speaker 1: you were you were not at. I believe you were
Speaker 1: watching it from home, and I thought, maybe because the
Speaker 1: Raiders are struggling on that day, the quarterbacks were certainly struggling,
Speaker 1: maybe I was being pretty hard on their team. I
Speaker 1: was wondering why Matt mcgoyan was not getting put in
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff. You know, I was being hard
Speaker 1: on the team that day. Maybe that tweet comes across
Speaker 1: your path that day, you're like, forget this clown, uh
Speaker 1: going after my team during a playoff loss. It's it's
Speaker 1: it's very possible. Um, that that is the case because
Speaker 1: those are my brother Um. But again, uh, we still
Speaker 1: have no like real proof of why I did it. Um,
Speaker 1: you know that it's gonna be something that just looms
Speaker 1: for a while over there, something to find out why. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I was kind of I think that was
Speaker 1: the thing I was most excited about. And to restore
Speaker 1: your hope in humanity that you know it was just
Speaker 1: an accident. Well, I would think I would be confident enough,
Speaker 1: and I don't have the money, but you're you're an
Speaker 1: NFL quarterback, So maybe you could put the bill on
Speaker 1: this some type of uh Internet like forensics type person
Speaker 1: that could dig through all of the data and maybe
Speaker 1: you could find it and then get get back to
Speaker 1: us with a reason what we did wrong. And he's
Speaker 1: got the time, He's clearly got the time. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: definitely not gonna do that. Um, but I will say this, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: because it was I don't I'm not sure why I
Speaker 1: got blocked either, but I did. I will make the
Speaker 1: statement a couple of things. I am not. I'm far
Speaker 1: from a perfect man. In fact, I came very close
Speaker 1: when I learned after supporting the Raiders. In fact, we
Speaker 1: do a little exercise on this podcast called the Team
Speaker 1: of Around the NFL, and I nominated the Raiders in
Speaker 1: August and pounded the table for them all year. Uh
Speaker 1: So I was stunned and a little bit angry and hurt.
Speaker 1: So what I did. I came very close to doing
Speaker 1: something that I only do when I'm really angry people,
Speaker 1: which is declare vengeance against you, Derek Carr. But then
Speaker 1: you kept on and this kind of annoyed me. You
Speaker 1: kept on committing random apt acts of civic greatness, had
Speaker 1: these like special moments where you were showing up on
Speaker 1: the side of the road like a celestial being, and
Speaker 1: I had to I kept on having to suspend any vengeance.
Speaker 1: So that actually maybe saved us here because I didn't
Speaker 1: act stupidly and I showed a little restraint and that's
Speaker 1: maybe kept the door open for a reconciliation and with me,
Speaker 1: and the door is always open, um, you know, the
Speaker 1: door is always open to fix things. We had a
Speaker 1: certain individual on a another network that we will not
Speaker 1: give them any props for it, say something completely idiotic
Speaker 1: and I let him know. But to his to his credit,
Speaker 1: he came back and said, Hey, it wasn't me that
Speaker 1: did that. It was something else, and so I just said, hey,
Speaker 1: no worries, God bless you have a great one. Um,
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that I'm gonna go out of my
Speaker 1: way for him, but the door is always open. But
Speaker 1: for you guys, it was an accident. You got thrown
Speaker 1: into something that that wasn't yours. But I do whack
Speaker 1: a mole. People like David said, well, I know, I
Speaker 1: know West and I over here, we we weren't blocked.
Speaker 1: I'm personally feeling a little left out. Wish you had
Speaker 1: blocked me so I can say something crazy. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, I might have to get into the mix.
Speaker 1: I want to be part of the drama, and you
Speaker 1: apparently think highly of the two of us, so you know,
Speaker 1: let's sit with that. That's okay. I've never we've never
Speaker 1: been blocked on this side of the table, blocked by
Speaker 1: identified with Derek because I used to whack a mole
Speaker 1: and I often don't know why I blocked people when
Speaker 1: they come back months later. I always figured, hey, you
Speaker 1: tell me why I blocked you, and then we'll talk
Speaker 1: about I'm blocking. It's a good point. That's exactly right,
Speaker 1: and that how about this we proposed this, and and Derek,
Speaker 1: you you seem relieved that that you and Dan are
Speaker 1: doing better. How about I propose this? It's my heart. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'll propose this. What if we just hit
Speaker 1: the reset button in terms of the Twitter situation, that's that.
Speaker 1: I'll propose that, and and and and Greg and myself.
Speaker 1: We you know, we go into this open eyes on
Speaker 1: both sides, start over in terms of our relationship, not
Speaker 1: promising anything, not promising that you'll you know, be better.
Speaker 1: But I think Derek should drive a hard bargain here.
Speaker 1: And yeah, what you promise that the Raiders will be
Speaker 1: team of eight? There are terms there now. I feel
Speaker 1: like Derek offer some terms back, right. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: that's fine and everything. We and definitely hit the reset button. Um,
Speaker 1: but you have to mention something nice about the Raiders
Speaker 1: every time you get on the podcast. Every time we
Speaker 1: do three shows a week, We've done over five shows,
Speaker 1: that is five hundred and fifty plus Raiders plugs. I
Speaker 1: like opportunities for the man drives a hard bargain. Even
Speaker 1: if it's a bad day, you gotta pat someone on
Speaker 1: the back and say something nice just to spread love
Speaker 1: in the world. I think we I think we can
Speaker 1: do that. I would, and that is my main motive,
Speaker 1: just spread love. Yeah, it wouldn't compromise the show on
Speaker 1: any level. So it's it checks out. Um can I
Speaker 1: counter with one a week? One a week? One? One? Gosh?
Speaker 1: I mean I think that every I think that. I
Speaker 1: think if you just start saying, like, hey, it's our podcast,
Speaker 1: Raiders are cool. I mean I think that that just
Speaker 1: goes so it's like they're replacing our sponsor. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I mean I guess, but I mean it's not even
Speaker 1: they have to say the Raiders. You can just say
Speaker 1: something nice about one of my teammates that it doesn't
Speaker 1: to be on the field stuff. It could be like, hey,
Speaker 1: guess what random news Khalil Max saved a kitten today
Speaker 1: could be. So we could just make things up. Yeah. Completely.
Speaker 1: I prefer the truth so truthful. You want me to
Speaker 1: I get it. I I get your vibe, Derek. You
Speaker 1: want me to put positive things out into the world.
Speaker 1: And if it's about the Raiders, even better, and if
Speaker 1: it's true, even better than that. Yeah, it's just that
Speaker 1: three times a week it has to be about the rate. Okay, alright,
Speaker 1: and who's I can agree to this and then maybe
Speaker 1: I hope there's not the tracking methods. You know, what
Speaker 1: if I mess up, who's gonna be tracking? Well? Yourself? Again?
Speaker 1: I think I think I'm starting to follow the podcast,
Speaker 1: So Derek, I can will help you. Like Budsman right here,
Speaker 1: I suspect Raider Nation will be on top of them.
Speaker 1: They will make make share. They're like, uh no, you
Speaker 1: haven't said anything about Rodney Hudson lately? What's up with Hudson?
Speaker 1: All right? You can say whatever you want, but it's
Speaker 1: just something. It takes two seconds just to spread love
Speaker 1: about you know some of my friends. I agree to
Speaker 1: the terms. I agree to the terms. All right, then
Speaker 1: you can consider yourself Dan unblocked. I just did it
Speaker 1: feel better? I feel so good? What about Greg though? Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I gotta type his name in a lot of g
Speaker 1: R E G g Rosenthal. There we go, G this
Speaker 1: is I got butterflies right now? This one? Spell it
Speaker 1: for me g R E g R O S E
Speaker 1: N T h A L. It's got a blue checkmark.
Speaker 1: At what grade level? Did you learn how to spell
Speaker 1: your name? Gets a long one? Did you ever mess
Speaker 1: it up and only put one G? Or did you
Speaker 1: know early on. I knew because I had to explain
Speaker 1: that just that closed down the name. No Gregory, stop
Speaker 1: calling me Gregory, Mrs McFadden, enough stren ill will all right,
Speaker 1: Derek you greg it's done. We've done it. We've broken
Speaker 1: down the walls and we've start a fresh start. I
Speaker 1: feel I feel good for you guys. Oh God, spread lef.
Speaker 1: That's all it's about me, Okay, I thank you, And
Speaker 1: and David, I can't say enough about you well, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean it's just Lindsay started it. She came to
Speaker 1: me and you know, she vouches for somebody I'm in
Speaker 1: and then all I had to do was make brother.
Speaker 1: That's easy. So I mean, I'm not gonna lie. I
Speaker 1: was a little uncomfortable with the intro um, very fair
Speaker 1: as we all were imagine being in the room. But
Speaker 1: I say that if you compliment David, that that would
Speaker 1: count as one of the three a week. Okay, we
Speaker 1: can get that later through blood good. We're doing good here, Okay,
Speaker 1: but but let's just draw the line and you know,
Speaker 1: let's not get too crazy with that one. Well with
Speaker 1: handsome stuff with it, Okay, I'll cut back on the
Speaker 1: handsome stuff that's Stan's bit. You guys are awesome, man.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. All right, thanks, thank you very much,
Speaker 1: thank you. All Right, David, you did it. We will
Speaker 1: never forget this and we owe you a big one. Well,
Speaker 1: you know it's the thing that you know, I come
Speaker 1: here and I and I do some shows and you
Speaker 1: guys are on the same campus and I can't have
Speaker 1: It's like when you have friends that are fighting. You
Speaker 1: can't have that. So you just guy. I was always
Speaker 1: that kid. I was like, you know what, guys, let's
Speaker 1: just go over here and still on the bench and
Speaker 1: talk about it. We'll figure it out. The clar back
Speaker 1: in you. Yeah, I think that's what it is. So
Speaker 1: you great clubhouse guy. Yeah. So that's what we try
Speaker 1: to do here. So it's next stop the United Nations
Speaker 1: for you mission accomplished in a mission accomplished banner. Alright, alright,
Speaker 1: you check out Derek Carr first of all, you can
Speaker 1: excuse me check out well, you can check out Derek
Speaker 1: Carr on Twitter at Derek Carr QB. David Carr on Twitter.
Speaker 1: I think it's David carry eight maybe or d car eight.
Speaker 1: Don't there isn't don't do it don't do his Twitter
Speaker 1: account wrong already Daniel eight seconds, you know, fresh on
Speaker 1: his radar is at d car two rs eight for
Speaker 1: David Carr, and David also is on an NFL Total Access.
Speaker 1: I think they put you on other stuff too. They
Speaker 1: got you all over, they do. I do a couple
Speaker 1: of the things. But it's uh and a good man
Speaker 1: and a fair man, and we thank you. We'd love
Speaker 1: to have you again on on talk about actual football football. Alright, No,
Speaker 1: there we go the Car brothers. How exciting, What a moment. Wow,
Speaker 1: how do you feel? David exits the studio and I
Speaker 1: feel reborn? I do, and I do. I granted, I,
Speaker 1: like I said, it meant more to me than Greg,
Speaker 1: but I think Greg feels a little bit a little
Speaker 1: different today as well. I didn't know there was a
Speaker 1: weight on my shoulders, but now it's off, and I
Speaker 1: don't even know how I'm gonna focus on being able
Speaker 1: to do work the rest of the day. After that,
Speaker 1: you learned at more about the power of forgiveness. I
Speaker 1: think you know a good point, spreading love, putting that
Speaker 1: positive energy out into the world. And I think we
Speaker 1: saw the difference between two quarterbacks in the four of us.
Speaker 1: Now it's time and now it's time to say goodbye.
Speaker 1: And uh, I hope you have boys to man cute up? Um,
Speaker 1: well we do have something. You do have something cute up?
Speaker 1: If if, if you could Sydney this year, last day.
Speaker 1: I just want to end it. Uh a little too.
