Speaker 1: Video Around the NFL Podcast is recovering from the trade.
Speaker 1: So welcome back to another edition of the Around the
Speaker 1: NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Hanzas and I'm joined
Speaker 1: by room Fell. Those some heroes to my left. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: she's back, Lindsay Rhodes to my right, Greg Rosenthal, what's up? People? Hey, Hey,
Speaker 1: Lindsey's back. Greg. You missed it. You were still downstairs.
Speaker 1: Lindsey came into the studio with a shimmys Wow, I
Speaker 1: don't know, legs were kicking out too. Was a whole thing,
Speaker 1: and early think it was a little bit more like
Speaker 1: modern than a shimmy my dancing style. I don't know
Speaker 1: that I would describe as chimmy. It was like an
Speaker 1: evolutionary shimmy. I mean it's nothing you would see on
Speaker 1: an MTV video right now, Like I'm not like Drake
Speaker 1: video ready, but you know, it's a little bit more
Speaker 1: that category than shimmy. Yeah, I mean if you did,
Speaker 1: like a Drake video dance, that would be wild, dude, Like,
Speaker 1: are the cameras on Lindsey walked into working that did
Speaker 1: not happen? Um, all right, let's isolate that audio. The
Speaker 1: Lindsay is with us Greg, how are you to a
Speaker 1: great start? Um, I'm outstanding, greatest shimmy of all time.
Speaker 1: I think Anton Walker, Yes, he really knew how to
Speaker 1: do it. He had the shoulders and you know, he
Speaker 1: had a little bit of like extra meat on him,
Speaker 1: so you had like the man boobs would be moving
Speaker 1: a little bit. But I'm just keep it real, like
Speaker 1: Antoine Walker really got that too, a million dollar contract
Speaker 1: and he came back, yeah, a little bigger. Uh So Lindsay,
Speaker 1: of course, you know as the co anchor. Hell, hell,
Speaker 1: he's not here, the anchor of NFL Total Access, the
Speaker 1: flagship program of listening we can call me whatever we want,
Speaker 1: which is on six times a week, and Lindsay is
Speaker 1: your weekday source for all things news seven pm Eastern.
Speaker 1: That's right, I mean, I'm excited it for today's program
Speaker 1: Lift Lindsay co hosting with Tiffany Blackman, who and we
Speaker 1: have guests on guests on guests. We've got Josh Norman,
Speaker 1: we have Chris Long, we have in Dominquan Sue. That's
Speaker 1: pretty good. How about the idea of rebranding and like
Speaker 1: T a seven call it a seven? Yeah? Remember like
Speaker 1: SC six? Was that? Okay? Little t a seven with
Speaker 1: Linz and Tiff. Yeah, that one for them, So we
Speaker 1: definitely go down that road, the seven, the seven. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's stupid. We have so much you got do today. Uh,
Speaker 1: since we have Lindsay here, um and Lindsay. You know,
Speaker 1: part of your job, Lindsay as you read promos all
Speaker 1: the time. I'm sure you've been doing it for years.
Speaker 1: So we we thought maybe we'd offer some copy to
Speaker 1: you and you, using your professional broadcaster voice, Uh, read
Speaker 1: some promos, fake promos, I'm excited, promos that Greg and
Speaker 1: I really would love to hear, or maybe promos we'd
Speaker 1: really hate to hear. In my case, I made them
Speaker 1: all promo total access promos. It was very specific. And
Speaker 1: I've seen these total access promos that are on all
Speaker 1: day because I've got the TV on when we're here
Speaker 1: right work there, about fifteen seconds long. It's usually Lindsay
Speaker 1: sometimes Dan Helly reading them. Let's teasing the total access.
Speaker 1: So these are promos I do not want to hear.
Speaker 1: All you don't want to hear. Yeah, i'd spine are
Speaker 1: a little more up and down. Uh, we'll do some news,
Speaker 1: including a little punter revenge talk. I didn't think that
Speaker 1: was gonna happen. And yes, I've been teasing it for
Speaker 1: the first two shows this week, but I think it
Speaker 1: could happen today. We will hit the mail bag. But
Speaker 1: before we do that, Mark Sessler, I don't know if
Speaker 1: you're aware of this, limb. I am so aware and jealous. Yes,
Speaker 1: Mark is on a USO tour with a bunch of
Speaker 1: NFL players, including Mark Ingram Uh. Former NFL coach Rex
Speaker 1: Ryan is there, and Mark knows Carlos dunlop, Carlos dumb,
Speaker 1: great player. I feel like he hasn't gotten a lot
Speaker 1: of pop on this so just Tavis Murray and I
Speaker 1: feel like it's been Lottavius and Rex and Ingram that
Speaker 1: have starred on Mark's Insta stories. Yeah, dog, Mark would
Speaker 1: see and there's Mark Ingram right there. Um. So Mark
Speaker 1: had been thinking of texting me all week. Yeah exactly.
Speaker 1: Uh that that was foreshadowing in retrospect the interesting that
Speaker 1: he was gonna He was looking to get us a
Speaker 1: big fish. He wanted to get Rex Ryan. He obviously
Speaker 1: knows my affinity for the Jets and and and my
Speaker 1: dad's affinity for the Jets. He finally got Rex Uh
Speaker 1: to chime in So here was the video slash audio
Speaker 1: sent to my phone today Lindsay Fulton hit it, Hey
Speaker 1: podcast guys, and sc Rex Ryan here out in Germany
Speaker 1: having a great time on this USO tour. And and
Speaker 1: a shout out to Dan's dad especially, I know you're
Speaker 1: a huge fan and all that kind of stuff. This
Speaker 1: has been absolutely terrific over here. And if anybody gets
Speaker 1: an opportunity to come out and and support the troops
Speaker 1: and and to be around and and have the opportunity
Speaker 1: to meet some of the men and women here, you
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta do that. And it's been a special,
Speaker 1: you know, trip for me and and it's been a
Speaker 1: special trip for all these guys being around all these players.
Speaker 1: I miss coaching, you know. Uh So we'll see who
Speaker 1: knows what's gonna happen down a road. But just to
Speaker 1: shake out to everybody, and and Dan's dad, take care buddy,
Speaker 1: all right? By did he just essentially tell your dad
Speaker 1: that he wants to get coach in the NFL again?
Speaker 1: I thought that was fascinating. Great job by Mark. My
Speaker 1: response was to Mark was legends both of you, and
Speaker 1: I already sent it to Keith, who was all fired up.
Speaker 1: I I thought that was fascinating that Rex knows that
Speaker 1: this is a platform, this is an NFL media entity.
Speaker 1: He doesn't know how tremendously popular we are, probably but
Speaker 1: probably podcast guys. Yeah. It's like if they're sending this
Speaker 1: Sessler bro this Mark with the C, they must be somebody.
Speaker 1: So he I think was trying to drop some news. Hey,
Speaker 1: come and get me anybody. It's a little bit sad,
Speaker 1: but also I hope Rex comes Ba's ad at all.
Speaker 1: I don't think not a surprise when I think about it.
Speaker 1: If you if I now that he said it and
Speaker 1: I think about it, kind of a course Rex Ryan
Speaker 1: wants to continue coaching. I believe in the NFL because
Speaker 1: that's just kind of who he is. He can't, you know,
Speaker 1: we haven't heard that though he works. He's under contract
Speaker 1: of ESPN and he well he can leave. My point
Speaker 1: is he's TV jobs. He's still collecting money I would
Speaker 1: assume from the bills. But he got that money. They
Speaker 1: send him a paycheck. I mean, TV jobs are legitimate jobs. People,
Speaker 1: they're legit. But he's not getting the jew he's not
Speaker 1: getting the juice. In the nine fifteen AMC block with
Speaker 1: old you know Tim Hasselbeck that he was getting on
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoons on the sidelines. No, I think it's a
Speaker 1: totally fair point. That was Tim Hasselbeck drive by there.
Speaker 1: But he wasn't like, hey, do you want to get
Speaker 1: back into coaching? Has this made you miss? He was
Speaker 1: just like, hey, ends dad. I was just thinking, well
Speaker 1: he should and I and I think if he wants,
Speaker 1: he's going to have to not be a head coach though.
Speaker 1: I think he's probably he's going to have to come
Speaker 1: to terms to be a coordinator again. And if he
Speaker 1: wants to do that, I bet he could get back in.
Speaker 1: And just I don't think it's sad like he's a
Speaker 1: pathetic man. I mean just I kind of was suggesting
Speaker 1: that seemed to be hinting at it that, Oh, it
Speaker 1: wasn't said at all. It's said in the sense I
Speaker 1: didn't get that from all I picked up on it.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry you didn't, Lindsay, but that was really what
Speaker 1: it was about. But he just misses it and it's
Speaker 1: been two years. It's anyway, thank you too, Rex, Ryan Mark,
Speaker 1: get home soon, buddy. Is your dad's day going to
Speaker 1: be made? Yeah? I think it's pretty cool thing you know,
Speaker 1: dad's been a Jets fan for like fifty years, forty years,
Speaker 1: so to hear from one of the more successful head
Speaker 1: coaches and franchise history, it's pretty cool. Certainly one of
Speaker 1: the most well loved, you know during his tenure. He's definitely,
Speaker 1: I mean there's that there's that many ones that were
Speaker 1: well loved during the Yeah, I mean, we'll use the
Speaker 1: word sad again the organization. It's kind of a sad
Speaker 1: history post name. And he was one of the most
Speaker 1: charismatic figures in the history of the Jets, most Joe
Speaker 1: and is all right, that was cool. Let's do some news,
Speaker 1: baby Blue, you're a quarterback. That was appropriately dramatic. Well,
Speaker 1: what's going on with these uniform reveals? Isn't a get
Speaker 1: a little bit? And I know every the NFL help
Speaker 1: and I will not Uh, we don't have to recycle
Speaker 1: what Mark Cuban said once upon a time about the NFL.
Speaker 1: But do we need the Greek chorus, uh, screaming and
Speaker 1: the dramatic music. And imagine him walking out. It's a
Speaker 1: blue helmet walking out. He Arcus Mariotte is walking out
Speaker 1: onto a big stage in front of a big drum kit,
Speaker 1: and I hear you, it seems like a lot of
Speaker 1: smoke machine. But they had like twenty thousand fans showed up,
Speaker 1: so maybe it's not too much. Like this was covered.
Speaker 1: I went on Twitter Tuesday night and it was top
Speaker 1: to bottom tightened uniform reveal analysis coverage, hot takes from
Speaker 1: everyone in my timeline. Doesn't have to look like a
Speaker 1: Rush concert in nine. I don't know. I just feel
Speaker 1: like a lot of worked. I loved it, and I
Speaker 1: loved for the Titans that they got so many people
Speaker 1: to come out. And as several people pointed out to
Speaker 1: me after I tweeted out, this is for there were
Speaker 1: twenty thousand people. The pictures were insane, and I was like,
Speaker 1: this is for a uniform reveal in April, and people
Speaker 1: were like, and a Florida Georgia Line concert. Like they
Speaker 1: did actually play there, so some people might have shown
Speaker 1: up for that, But still, what concert Florida Georgia Line.
Speaker 1: I know, I said the same thing, but I've heard
Speaker 1: of them. They're apparently a country band, um, But but
Speaker 1: still that was a Titans event that they check it
Speaker 1: out if dot Com the article that's up announcing it,
Speaker 1: to watch the video, it's just a funny video. And
Speaker 1: do you guys any comments? Yeah, yourn On the Titans
Speaker 1: uniform I like them. I mean I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: like Dave damn Check uniform connoisseur, but but I liked him.
Speaker 1: That was offended when I'm like, I don't know, I
Speaker 1: don't have a big, you know, opinion. One. I did
Speaker 1: not have an opinion. The only opinions, the only uniforms
Speaker 1: I have opinions on are like oregans when they go,
Speaker 1: they have to be really off the wall, and I
Speaker 1: like the uglier the better. Actually, so I take that back.
Speaker 1: I like the bumble bee, I like the like gruesome. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like all the ugly, just like off the wall.
Speaker 1: NFL uniforms, those I think are awesome. And if it's
Speaker 1: just a slight variation, like oh, we put a little
Speaker 1: flame coming off of the t like, I don't care. Um.
Speaker 1: I've been wearing a Titan's hat occasionally in the morning
Speaker 1: when I drilled off my kids because we got free
Speaker 1: hats here. You're in a weird places of May and
Speaker 1: it's just like, this hat looks pretty good. You know,
Speaker 1: the hair is a little long. You're dropping your kids
Speaker 1: off at school, just work in the old Titans hat.
Speaker 1: Do people think you're John Robinson? Because I could see it,
Speaker 1: like you put a Titans hat on you, and you
Speaker 1: know you could sell kind of like, uh that you're
Speaker 1: a relative. Um, there aren't many people wearing those Titans hats.
Speaker 1: And yeah, they're kind of like a and I joke
Speaker 1: around about the tytoon stuff. They're a bit of an
Speaker 1: anonymous franchise, uh so, and the uniforms to me are
Speaker 1: part of the uh that type of thing they get
Speaker 1: dinged with. I don't I'm not that hot about them.
Speaker 1: Not too hot in the pants about him, Greg. I
Speaker 1: was hotter on the fact that they got the turnout
Speaker 1: that they did and the concept of a possible draft
Speaker 1: in Nashville, because I think that is a perfect NFL
Speaker 1: city for a draft. Like they're not neg really, you know,
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl size, but like that is a perfect
Speaker 1: city to host a draft. And I'm getting a little
Speaker 1: hotter about the cover art for Anything Goes the LP
Speaker 1: by Florida Georgia line. I'm just saying, he's like googling,
Speaker 1: have a lot going on, just check it out. Well,
Speaker 1: I'll give its Since this is an audio format, I'll
Speaker 1: give a description pure sex. Uh. And by the way,
Speaker 1: NFL dot com slash Hansas it's two men standing in
Speaker 1: front of a brick wall. Uh. You could read about
Speaker 1: I just did a little deep dive the last twenty
Speaker 1: twenty years or so how teams have fared in their
Speaker 1: first year after a uniform change. Is there a correlation?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Read the copy all right, we'll give
Speaker 1: us like is it mostly good or mostly bad? Give
Speaker 1: me a headline. Okay, you want to just I'll give
Speaker 1: you a quick rundown of teams where it worked out. Ready,
Speaker 1: the Bucks, I call it the Bucks effect. The Bucks
Speaker 1: are one of the most hapless franchises in the league.
Speaker 1: Change our uniform, immediately become a powerhouse in the NFCA
Speaker 1: went in the Super Bowl. Um, other teams like the
Speaker 1: Browns had a pretty radical change and three years ago
Speaker 1: they they're won in thirty one since so that's like
Speaker 1: the counter but uh, the Ravens won the Super Bow
Speaker 1: author changing the Broncos one back to back after changing,
Speaker 1: the Giants went to the Super Bowl after putting ny
Speaker 1: on the helmet. Let me interrupt you. The headline here
Speaker 1: is you going to the Super Bowl? Maybe? Obviously Ellipses
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe obviously definitely maybe all right, here we go,
Speaker 1: start better album whatever. Had they come into the oasis
Speaker 1: corner like oasis, you know, Okay, that's that's okay. The
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos have signed Marquette King, the punter who was
Speaker 1: released by the Oakland Raiders after he was deemed not
Speaker 1: a good fit in John Gruden's locker room. Uh. You
Speaker 1: would think that Marquette King would not be on the
Speaker 1: market long because he's one of the better punters in
Speaker 1: the league over the last three or four years. And
Speaker 1: he ended up getting a nice deal, a three year
Speaker 1: deal with the Denver Broncos Greg Rosenthal, so he stays
Speaker 1: in the division. And you knew that Marquette would have
Speaker 1: something to say. Uh. He says he wants some revenge,
Speaker 1: little punter revenge thoughts. That's that's a rare thing. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think it's a sign we've we've kind of run
Speaker 1: out of the newsy portion of the off season that
Speaker 1: this is, you know, our top story. But that's that
Speaker 1: anytime you can get a punter kind of igniting a
Speaker 1: little revenge game, I love me some revenge games. Some
Speaker 1: drama between the punt that's a new thing. So I
Speaker 1: like that. I mean, how many punters can the average
Speaker 1: NFL fan name though, right? And Marquette is definitely someone
Speaker 1: the majority. Absolutely He's seen to that largely because of
Speaker 1: his celebrations on the field. I guess shall we call
Speaker 1: them one of one of which is now headed for
Speaker 1: the scrap heap. Who's that? Bronco says he's not going
Speaker 1: to do it. He could have transitioned it to be like,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm gonna do now that I'm a Bronco,
Speaker 1: but he straight told them yesterday, uh no, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna do that anymore because I was doing that to
Speaker 1: troll y'all. Interesting. Now he's going to come up with
Speaker 1: like like a Chucky child's play type of thing to troll.
Speaker 1: I'll throw the Raiders. I'll set the over under, Greg,
Speaker 1: you take it over under. Number of personal fouls Marquette
Speaker 1: King gets in his two games against his former team
Speaker 1: this season half one, half, Oh yeah, I go, I'll
Speaker 1: go over it. One gets one. He's he's gonna get
Speaker 1: one all season, but it will come again. He's not
Speaker 1: like snatching anyone's chains. Okay, let's you know, just like
Speaker 1: you think he's gonna be fired up uses a proper
Speaker 1: if he if he coffin corners one and uh, he's
Speaker 1: gonna start going nuts. I could see him running to
Speaker 1: the sideline and gesturing, I don't know, we'll see you're
Speaker 1: taking the under. I'm assuming I'll take the under. Okay,
Speaker 1: moving on to the throne of ease. Brandon Cooks traded
Speaker 1: to the Rams earlier this week, and now the Pats
Speaker 1: add a name to their depth chart. It is Jordan
Speaker 1: Matthews uh, formerly of the San Diego Graybeards. He signs
Speaker 1: a one year deal. Rap Sheet reports. ESPN first reported it.
Speaker 1: Of course, Matthews entered the because a second round pick
Speaker 1: in Lindsay had some promising seasons early on in Philly.
Speaker 1: They move on and then he kind of creators in Buffalo,
Speaker 1: dealt with injury issues years old. Not a bad signing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, like with all things with the Patriots, it'll
Speaker 1: either be like, how did they get this guy? It's
Speaker 1: such a bargain and then he turns into a Pro
Speaker 1: bowl er something like that, or he's cut before the
Speaker 1: season even starts. Especially wide receivers. It's been very hit
Speaker 1: or miss in the Belichick well that this is their thing.
Speaker 1: They always sign They've done it many times where they
Speaker 1: have seven or eight receivers that they go into camp
Speaker 1: with and then they just see who sticks and see
Speaker 1: who works, don't they. Stalworth was one of those guys
Speaker 1: this year. He stuck, uh you know, and then sometimes
Speaker 1: they don't and you just forget it ever happened. Like
Speaker 1: like the Reggie Wayne era in New England now saying
Speaker 1: it's a little bit too close to home. That's a college.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying. They it's a smart it's a smart
Speaker 1: it's a smart thing to do. They have, They're they're
Speaker 1: deep at receiver receiver. I'm not worried about. They love
Speaker 1: getting as many slat receivers as possible. Julian Edelman, Chris Hogan,
Speaker 1: Malcolm Mitchell, Jordan Matthews. That's a good top four. I
Speaker 1: don't even know if they all make the team that
Speaker 1: you know, probably those or Set Cordoril Patterson, Kenny Britt
Speaker 1: maybe I mean Kenny Britt out of four million dollar
Speaker 1: contract just two years ago. Who knows. This is a
Speaker 1: much more patriots uh patriot like move to me than
Speaker 1: the O. B. J. Rumors. Like people people who said,
Speaker 1: but there are people, there are people who think that
Speaker 1: that's a legit possibility. And and William mc ginnis walked
Speaker 1: into our production meeting yesterday and did not dismiss them
Speaker 1: out of hand, which shocked me because I thought somebody
Speaker 1: who knows that organization so well, I thought for sure
Speaker 1: that he would walk in and go absolutely not and
Speaker 1: he didn't do that. And that feels so on Belichick
Speaker 1: in to me to go after an O. B J
Speaker 1: at the prime of his financial career, where you're gonna
Speaker 1: have to pay him top dollar. I I tweeted, there's
Speaker 1: no way O. B J in the Patriot way makes sense.
Speaker 1: And then I got a bunch of plus, what about
Speaker 1: Randy must different personalities, different stages, the fourth round pick,
Speaker 1: and they weren't paying different steaks obviously as well. And
Speaker 1: the whole thing about Beckham, I'm not I don't think
Speaker 1: he's a bad guy, but he's a little bit of
Speaker 1: a different, strange cat. I don't know if he I
Speaker 1: don't think he would fit in in that culture. And
Speaker 1: I think the Patriots feel somebody what other thing? Greg
Speaker 1: your boy, and I agree with you. I don't think
Speaker 1: people should be freaking out about the Patriots wide receiver
Speaker 1: depth chart. Your boy, Julian Edelman game base a lot
Speaker 1: on quickness and cutting ability and ability to kind of
Speaker 1: get open and short spaces. It's gonna turn thirty two
Speaker 1: next month coming off in a c L, So I
Speaker 1: would would I be stunned if he had ninety catches
Speaker 1: next year? No, but assuming he'll still be Julian Edelman,
Speaker 1: you really need him to be Julian Edelman at this
Speaker 1: stage with that group. Probably, like receiver is not a
Speaker 1: position I'm ever worried about with them. You know, they're
Speaker 1: like Brandon LaFell started for one of the best Patriots
Speaker 1: Stake Calldwell, and you know they always figure it out
Speaker 1: at receiver. There's plenty of other things I'm worried about,
Speaker 1: like the line, like the defense that basically the entire defense.
Speaker 1: Moving on, I've talked about this before. I'm I don't
Speaker 1: know how Draft Day, the movie that came out four
Speaker 1: years ago starring Kevin Costner, has had a lot of
Speaker 1: legs in terms of cultural residents and especially in the
Speaker 1: football COGNESCENTI I don't even know what that means. It
Speaker 1: gets brought up a lot. People cite Draft Day and
Speaker 1: different characters and Draft Day. Maybe it's more on my radar.
Speaker 1: She asked, what it means, what the cogniscent, What the heck?
Speaker 1: It's just like the collective of the people that cover
Speaker 1: the game, the people involved with professional football, the hot
Speaker 1: take pundits, the people that work behind the scenes, the whole,
Speaker 1: the whole cogniscent. Expert experts in the field, people that
Speaker 1: have knowledge. I say, like six times a week on
Speaker 1: the show. So I guess you've maybe fallen a little behind.
Speaker 1: Maybe you know, I just was like ordering my coffee
Speaker 1: at that point in time. Yeah, I just missed that word. Anyway,
Speaker 1: So Drafted, despite being a box office uh stinker and
Speaker 1: being a terrible movie, gets brought up all the time,
Speaker 1: and I just caught my eye. I was up late
Speaker 1: last night and I was reading Rich Tomini, who covers
Speaker 1: the Jets for ESPN extremely well, and that he was
Speaker 1: writing about, uh Josh Rosen U c L a quarterback,
Speaker 1: and the idea about with the Jets take Rosen, would
Speaker 1: he be a fit? These concerns about Rosen's character is
Speaker 1: it's something to takes seriously. Here's what Samini wrote. The
Speaker 1: concerns go beyond his dorm room hot tub, which is awesome.
Speaker 1: We agree on that we're all in on that, and
Speaker 1: his outspoken personality. That stuff got blown out of proportion.
Speaker 1: What raises questions amongst some scouts is whether he loves
Speaker 1: football and whether his teammates love him, which is not new.
Speaker 1: We've heard that as well. But let me go on one.
Speaker 1: A f see scout told me Rosen reminds him of
Speaker 1: the character Bo Callahan in the movie Draft Day. If
Speaker 1: you need a refresher, google it Callahan Callahan. You're not
Speaker 1: getting it here. Callahan was played by later Um, the
Speaker 1: guy from the Facebook movie What was the tall handsome
Speaker 1: brothers in the face Winkel Boss Twins, one of the
Speaker 1: Winkel Boss Twins guys. Anyway, he played this hot shot
Speaker 1: quarterback who was supposed to be Yeah, I think I
Speaker 1: can't remember Twins player Oscar Nod this year. Maybe maybe
Speaker 1: maybe I'm even thinking of the wrong guy. But the
Speaker 1: point is they haven't even seen Draft. Bo Callahan was
Speaker 1: supposed to be the number one pick. He was the quarterback,
Speaker 1: and then Kevin Costner was the GM of the Browns.
Speaker 1: In the movie. H finds out that no one went
Speaker 1: to Bo Callahan's birthday party and that was what caused
Speaker 1: him to take him off his board. So you hear
Speaker 1: that about actual quarter backs who are successful in the NFL. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure you even need It's just a
Speaker 1: silly thing. We've heard whispers about Kirk Cousins in that light,
Speaker 1: right have we maybe whispers who whispers to you? I
Speaker 1: haven't heard that. God, some sparrows out there on the
Speaker 1: streets streets talk. But he just got the biggest contract ever.
Speaker 1: So you know, I just would that bother you at all?
Speaker 1: Would you be nervous? Greg? None of this pre draft
Speaker 1: stuff on Rosen and his personality bothers me at all.
Speaker 1: If anything, I should have made that one of my promos,
Speaker 1: uh that I didn't want to hear coming up on
Speaker 1: NFL Total Access the Chosen One in New York, Like
Speaker 1: I don't want to see Josh Rosen in New York.
Speaker 1: First of all, he looks incredible. He you know, I'm
Speaker 1: not a scout, but I love I love what I
Speaker 1: see from him, probably more than any of the other
Speaker 1: quarterbacks on the field. And then second, I love his personality.
Speaker 1: I love that he's he's riding and dying for the
Speaker 1: Hebrews on Twitter, like I would have to root for
Speaker 1: the Jets if they took him. That makes it more
Speaker 1: interesting for me uh and other prospect news Miniche Meta
Speaker 1: of the New York Delhi News wrote Friday that they
Speaker 1: are looking obviously for Tom Brady's era apparent in New England,
Speaker 1: and he wrote, could the Evil Empire rocket all the
Speaker 1: way up to number two by making a deal with
Speaker 1: the Giants? A few teams in the top ten, including
Speaker 1: the Jets, are fully aware of the Patriots affinity for
Speaker 1: Mayfield Baker. I don't see that either. Baker doesn't strike
Speaker 1: me as a Patriots at all. I don't, I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm not again, I'm not worried about the personality out
Speaker 1: of it of at all. It would cost a lot
Speaker 1: to get up to take one of these quarterbacks, So
Speaker 1: I kind of can't buy that from the Patriot way
Speaker 1: of doing things, unless for whatever reason he started slipping
Speaker 1: and then he's in the mid teens or you know,
Speaker 1: he's in the you know, at fifteen and then and
Speaker 1: then maybe the cost in that high, who knows. I mean,
Speaker 1: there are some outlets. Pro Football Focus, for instance, thinks
Speaker 1: he's the best quarterback prospect they've they've evaluated in the
Speaker 1: last four or five. It would be stunning if he
Speaker 1: fell out of the top. Baker is for cover his accuracy.
Speaker 1: Essentially that they, you know, different people evaluated differently, mean
Speaker 1: maybe they like what they see out of him. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't totally doubt that, but I don't buy that they
Speaker 1: would be trading up. And uh, finally, just an update
Speaker 1: for you, uh Graybeards fans out there where. Now we've
Speaker 1: lost three players. Luke Bowanko, of course, which we broke
Speaker 1: in at the end of Wenday's Wednesday's podcast signed with
Speaker 1: the Pats, Cony Eally signed with the Cowboys, and yes,
Speaker 1: Jordan Matthews, also Graybeards wide receiver, signed with the Patriots.
Speaker 1: That's my team of free agents that had not been
Speaker 1: signed yet that I put out every year. Lindsay, I
Speaker 1: don't know if you're caught up reading side of my career,
Speaker 1: lay behind on that as well sides. You're so multifascinated,
Speaker 1: that's what's happening in the news. Okay, this is fun, Uh, Lindsay,
Speaker 1: Total Pro just got many, many major awards. How many
Speaker 1: trophies do you have as a broadcaster. I don't know,
Speaker 1: over under four and a half trophies. I don't want
Speaker 1: to have this it's definitely over over on her one
Speaker 1: and a half. Emmy's their regional and national Regional, No,
Speaker 1: no nationals. We're working on the national. Just what I'm
Speaker 1: talking because we said Dan sends out a picture with
Speaker 1: every you know, pre show email and got one of you,
Speaker 1: you know, accepting some sort of award. Is that an
Speaker 1: em like a Lifeguard Award or something like? It? Is
Speaker 1: not regional? That's an Emmy right there, that's not what
Speaker 1: is this of a Genie award? The Women in Sports?
Speaker 1: So my point is, and Lindsey is uncomfortable talking about
Speaker 1: her success that she's a pro. We've only had one award.
Speaker 1: We were Best New New Podcast, Best of iTunes two
Speaker 1: thousand thirteen. That's amazing. We're still you know, did you
Speaker 1: actually get a trophy? Did they send you an iTunes trophy?
Speaker 1: Sitting on that We did get a Stitcher trophy. They
Speaker 1: said it was coming in the mail, but it came.
Speaker 1: But I think it's been the what is it called
Speaker 1: the statute of limitations is up? I think we can
Speaker 1: just say what happened. Yeah, well, Linda, Lindsey Fulton would
Speaker 1: never do such a thing, but we had a prior
Speaker 1: producer when the Stitcher company. After giving us like Top
Speaker 1: Football Podcast, uh sent our producer at the time an
Speaker 1: email saying, hey, where should we send the award? She
Speaker 1: gave her home address. That's amazing. That's pretty funny. It's
Speaker 1: I kind of give a you know, I was like,
Speaker 1: I'd rather have the story and just that awards. Put
Speaker 1: it this way, she needed it more than us if
Speaker 1: she was gonna literally steal our award. You guys have
Speaker 1: the Lock Trophy. Yeah, that's true. That's true. We got
Speaker 1: the Lock Trophies. Anyway, back on point you digress Lindsay

Speaker 1: I don't want to my my worst case in the
Speaker 1: counter of that awesome as you might imagine, Greg, what
Speaker 1: you could have guessed I would have a Patriots Wow, okay,
Speaker 1: because I thought that you know what you like? You
Speaker 1: really did watch Because this is paste out very similarity.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's in my brain. I think I've
Speaker 1: heard it over the last four years. It was part
Speaker 1: of me. All right, So here's another Patriots one, Lindsey
Speaker 1: take it away in Phil. We trust the Patriots have
Speaker 1: severed ties with Tom Brady, and we have NFL dot
Speaker 1: COM's Greg Roads and Ball in studio to tell us

Speaker 1: leaving his home after the past six pm offseason curfew.

Speaker 1: a deal. That's Gregg's whole thing. No matter what happens
Speaker 1: with the Patriots. It's fine, It's fine. Everybody's got a
Speaker 1: calm down six pm. Curf You Well, first of all,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm happy I got on Total Access, Like this
Speaker 1: is a promo. I think I would it would be
Speaker 1: worth it for Tom Brady to retire, for me to
Speaker 1: get that kind of spot. Not only and if Tom
Speaker 1: Brady does retire, you are our first call, right exactly.
Speaker 1: Forget breaking news. Tom Brady's out, Greg, can we get
Speaker 1: him on the horn, Like forget the four thousand ex
Speaker 1: Patriots we employ. Let's get Jim Jim Trotter is like
Speaker 1: texting with Tom Brady is like Jim, move aside. We
Speaker 1: gotta get Greg in here. All right, Let's keep going
Speaker 1: all right Tonight on NFL Total Access. Isn't Dominican becoming
Speaker 1: a Sue nightmare for the Rams? Plus Michael Robinson on
Speaker 1: how the Saints recover from Alvin Camara's injury, David Carr
Speaker 1: on why he doesn't respect less needs hair and special
Speaker 1: in studio guest Titans tightened Philip super Now Tonight seven Eastern.
Speaker 1: You got me there? Um Sue Nightmare? I enjoyed good?
Speaker 1: Um here we go. I would not I would not
Speaker 1: want any of that to happen. The Rams going downhill,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean I feel like that could couldn't
Speaker 1: that couldn't you see that legitimately being a promo in
Speaker 1: week three, if they're going two or whatever like that
Speaker 1: that could be coming. I don't want that. I mean
Speaker 1: the things we don't want. It's true, they are the
Speaker 1: reigning team of a t L and there's so many
Speaker 1: expectations if they get in a slow get off to
Speaker 1: a slow star, especially our network as we're so close
Speaker 1: with the Rams, it's going to be like a story
Speaker 1: that's going to be constant on our network if you want,
Speaker 1: and we want, like I would hate to see car
Speaker 1: in his hair not respon less needs hair game like
Speaker 1: that would be that'd be hard. Water has a lot
Speaker 1: less product in it, so you know, we could do
Speaker 1: like a Battle of the Hair. I want it to say,
Speaker 1: like Derek Carr on why he's no longer David Carr
Speaker 1: and why he's no longer speaking with David or Derek totally.
Speaker 1: I want to say, I'll say that maybe because you
Speaker 1: once broke her a piece between Greg and Eye and
Speaker 1: Derek Carr favor last year, he unblocked us because of
Speaker 1: you and and David. I would say, and hair, respect's hair.
Speaker 1: Maybe a little less product for David, if you want
Speaker 1: to pass that up just a little bit. I don't
Speaker 1: think I'm going to pass that along. Okay, I don't
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna do that. Then let's then let's just
Speaker 1: move forward. We did put a beret on his head.
Speaker 1: I think it was two weeks ago, and we took
Speaker 1: the beret off and his hair head not moved. That's awesome,
Speaker 1: all right. Next tonight on NFL Total Access, the Jets
Speaker 1: shocked the league and their fans by picking Hofstra nose
Speaker 1: tackle Berry Rump with the third overall pick. Well, Josh
Speaker 1: McCown's new five year extension bring peace to the Big
Speaker 1: Apple tonight. That's any certain that one didn't pace out
Speaker 1: quite as well, But you know, the point was there.
Speaker 1: The fear is that the Jets botch this monumentally and
Speaker 1: don't take a quarterback. And don't don't think it's not
Speaker 1: in the back of the mind of every Jet fan
Speaker 1: despite everything you're hearing, that the Jets could talk themselves
Speaker 1: out of the number three quarterback, just like rum I
Speaker 1: think Quenton Nelson seems like the more believable one that
Speaker 1: you're like, what a guard? But yeah, I mean you
Speaker 1: were making a point point. Would you be really disappointed
Speaker 1: if it was Quentin Nelson? Yes, it's not sexy, but
Speaker 1: literally crushed. Crushed. You don't move up from six to
Speaker 1: three to take a guard. I don't care how good
Speaker 1: the guard is. Dominican Sue crushes Dan Tonight. All right,
Speaker 1: all right, this is my last. But I think I
Speaker 1: really do think. Obviously, I think the Jets will take
Speaker 1: a quarterback. But there's that fear, you know, Big Mac
Speaker 1: and I met Big Mac in Orlando. He seemed like
Speaker 1: a nice guy. He wasn't gonna tell me anything. But
Speaker 1: everyone is like, you know, we're gonna do the right thing.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get We're gonna get our guy. Uh. But
Speaker 1: there's also a lot of pressure on that general manager.
Speaker 1: What if he just gets spooked in Bales? What's he
Speaker 1: gonna do it? Chub? There's no way they traded traded
Speaker 1: four picks to move They talked themselves into Chubb as
Speaker 1: the next LT or something. I don't know. Okay, I
Speaker 1: could see the Patriots doing that, Yeah, could pass. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, let's move on. Tonight on NFL Total Access
Speaker 1: is Philip Rivers running dry? We discussed the Chargers lack
Speaker 1: of winds and their quarterbacks lack of new offspring. Plus
Speaker 1: William McGinnis pumps up the Patriots. Reggie Wayne talked on
Speaker 1: the Patriots and special in studio guest Saints tight end
Speaker 1: Michael Human. Oh shoot, I needed to prepare hold on Humanui?
Speaker 1: Got it? Okay, tonight, I need I need to, like,
Speaker 1: you know, think I needed just a minute to wrap
Speaker 1: my brain around that name before I say it. Whom
Speaker 1: I always like it when right at the end, it's
Speaker 1: always like a really random that you weren't expecting that,
Speaker 1: And it's like and Jaguar's safety Don Kerry. It would
Speaker 1: be sad if if Philip Rivers doesn't win any games.
Speaker 1: Creating the Willie the Willie and Reggie thing is that
Speaker 1: happens a lot. It's like Willie defends the Patriotsgie, Yeah, Reggie,
Speaker 1: you know there's it would be like Shawn O'Hara, Reggie
Speaker 1: like talks trash on the Patriots. Willie defends the Patriots.
Speaker 1: Coming up? Not a bad gig. Oh there's another one. Okay,
Speaker 1: Tonight on NFL Total Access dinosaurs are back and they
Speaker 1: are not happy. What does it mean for the Titans
Speaker 1: and Jags on Thursday night football? So you are not
Speaker 1: going to believe what Josh Norman said this time. Come up,
Speaker 1: I forgot that. That's perfect. Dinosaurs are back. That's perfect
Speaker 1: because I often do wonder when there's like this crazy,
Speaker 1: major world life event. But you guys, that's not your
Speaker 1: job to talk about that unless the dinosaurs. You usually
Speaker 1: have to pivot to, like what does it mean for
Speaker 1: the Lions? How does it affect the football? That's really good. Um,
Speaker 1: that was fun. We're bringing that back when lindsay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that might have to be a staple. Well done, Lindsay.
Speaker 1: I just hope that your listeners have the Total Access
Speaker 1: music in their head for the rest of the day
Speaker 1: because I think I realize it's not like it's not
Speaker 1: exactly a jingle. It's not catchy, but I walk around
Speaker 1: singing it during comercial breaks. It is. I like it.
Speaker 1: When the music came on though, that in your voice,
Speaker 1: it was a different Lindsay roads in the room, it
Speaker 1: was like a pro it was tonight it was the
Speaker 1: pro voice. Do you think it's the same lindsay full time,
Speaker 1: can you play our outro music? Do you think it's
Speaker 1: the same composer, because it definitely has that type of
Speaker 1: vibe to it. I'm feeling both of them, so wouldn't
Speaker 1: say that's good. She does looks good, so that's good
Speaker 1: too good. We actually did about three or four years
Speaker 1: ago a contest to pick the new outro song. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would say you could talk about changing it, but
Speaker 1: about that, like all these years later, yours is. It's cool,
Speaker 1: it has it's it's a good outro, Like you need
Speaker 1: something more driving to be the promo or the open
Speaker 1: or something like that, which is the tim music that
Speaker 1: we've been listening to. It's got to get you pumped up.
Speaker 1: That's kind of like a come down, you know, like
Speaker 1: all right, yeah we did it. Feel good about yourself.
Speaker 1: It's all pat ourselves on the back, a good rest
Speaker 1: of the day. In House music rights free copyright, no
Speaker 1: copyrighting for just meant to worry about shadowy League figures.
Speaker 1: Calm down, Sit down in your chairs or at your
Speaker 1: standing desk. Person who sits next to me, one of
Speaker 1: our producers got a standing desk. Everybody's got a calm down.
Speaker 1: By the way at the standing desk. It stresses me
Speaker 1: out because she has like weights now and everything, and
Speaker 1: she just makes me feel like I think it's awesome,
Speaker 1: but you're it's suddenly spreading like wildfire in our news
Speaker 1: and you could follow the bread crumbs on this. There
Speaker 1: was some changes in the news room in terms of
Speaker 1: management structure, and I think, you know, all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you know, the piggy bank has been cracked open. Everybody's
Speaker 1: getting new desks. Maybe we should, maybe we should take
Speaker 1: advantage of this. Does NFL network pay for your standing desk? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean not for I don't know if they would
Speaker 1: pay for ours. I should totally gets always leaving position
Speaker 1: are are paid for by the company. And just stress
Speaker 1: someone out whose job it is to balance the budget.
Speaker 1: Be like you, uh, I notice you haven't been standing lately?
Speaker 1: Are you sure you need this? Like a like it's
Speaker 1: almost like speaking of lifeguards someone that sits in a
Speaker 1: high chair. And make sure that all the standing desks
Speaker 1: are getting enough standing per day, Like there's gotta be
Speaker 1: a minimum whistle. Yeah, all right, let's move on it.
Speaker 1: Time to do the mail bag. So let's go through.
Speaker 1: Uh some questions from you. The listeners will start Greg,
Speaker 1: We'll start with you because I'm interested in this one.
Speaker 1: This is from anton Ra who tweets is the trade
Speaker 1: tsunami here to stay or is it just a one
Speaker 1: year experiment for some teams. I don't know about experiments
Speaker 1: the way to put it, but in general, there's no
Speaker 1: doubt that there was a big uptick in trades. Is
Speaker 1: this the new lay of the land in the NFL?
Speaker 1: I hope it is, because it's more fun to cover
Speaker 1: and to be a fan of. But do you think
Speaker 1: this will be something we always see now? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: think it's here to stay because I think free a
Speaker 1: great free agents are getting to the market less and
Speaker 1: less teams have so much cap space now that it's
Speaker 1: easier to resign everyone that you want, and so the
Speaker 1: only way to really get quality new players is through
Speaker 1: creative means like trades. And since you have all the
Speaker 1: extra cap space, I think you can make these kind
Speaker 1: of trades a lot easier. Like the the Robert Quinn
Speaker 1: trade would have never happened in the past. They keep
Speaker 1: the leave trade would have never happened in the past.
Speaker 1: Those teams would have just cut their guys. But now
Speaker 1: it's like I wouldn't get a fourth or fifth round
Speaker 1: pick and you make a trade. I don't understand why
Speaker 1: there weren't more trades in the past. I think also
Speaker 1: part of business model right that I totally agree with
Speaker 1: that risk averse like old school gms. I don't know,
Speaker 1: Like the Patriots have made more trades than any team
Speaker 1: over the in the Eagles this decade, and now I
Speaker 1: think it's like, oh, those are two pretty good teams.
Speaker 1: Maybe we should do that alight. By the way, I
Speaker 1: was a little worried yesterday. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: guys felt the earthquake in Los Angeles, Yeah, five point
Speaker 1: whatever that that maybe you know that was a little
Speaker 1: I was a little worried that an actual sodomy might
Speaker 1: be coming that would be bad for your business karma.
Speaker 1: A little blood on your hands talking about tsunami's a
Speaker 1: little bit of blood on your hands. This one from
Speaker 1: at Nicholas McGee twenty four moving. He's like, I've got
Speaker 1: these A few people would die. What are we gonna
Speaker 1: say if a tsunami hits is at Greg's fault? Maybe
Speaker 1: you know we can dig it A little uh from
Speaker 1: Nicholas McGhee. My wife and I are expecting our first
Speaker 1: child in September. Congratulations. Any suggestions for names. I'm a
Speaker 1: forty Niners fan and my wife is open to NFL
Speaker 1: inspired names. Let me jump in on this one. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna offer one. You guys could uh say what you think? Agreed, disagree?
Speaker 1: The name is Nichol. The last name is McGhee Jimmy G. McGhee.
Speaker 1: But his name is Jimmy G. McGhee. I mean, what's
Speaker 1: not to love? What about? Like, what if you went
Speaker 1: to the last name for the first name and went
Speaker 1: like Montana McGhee or not bad like that? There's a
Speaker 1: lot of Brady's Lynch McGhee. Brady is growing up in
Speaker 1: New England because of that. Yeah, I mean, Joe Montana
Speaker 1: McGee is pretty good. Montana says a middle name. No,
Speaker 1: that's two, it's two on the nose, Like you can't
Speaker 1: actually steal his entire name. I guess what about Jimmy
Speaker 1: that Jimmy like, would she actually be part of the name?
Speaker 1: His middle name just g? Oh, okay, just the letter G.
Speaker 1: You would people get should get more creative with middle names.
Speaker 1: Jimmy McGhee just do away with him. I hope the
Speaker 1: problem be like Mark famously named one of his sons
Speaker 1: after Colt McCoy, So it always can turn out less
Speaker 1: than ideally if the player doesn't pan out. But Jimmy G.
Speaker 1: We're all feeling pretty good about that. I mean, do
Speaker 1: you like to gamble, You could go Sherman. That's a
Speaker 1: big I mean Baker Baker. Now I named my son
Speaker 1: after a thirty year old running back coming off an
Speaker 1: achilles tendon tear. Like, all right, good luck moving on
Speaker 1: the Rams versus forty Niners A thing next year, lindsay,
Speaker 1: is the time? Is the rivalry already here? This is
Speaker 1: from Alexander C. Sandoval Rams Niners? Yeah, where is it
Speaker 1: take another year or so? No, I think it's there.
Speaker 1: I think it's there. And I think Garoppolos the reason why,
Speaker 1: I mean, they've put pieces around him, I have full
Speaker 1: faith in. I think John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan have
Speaker 1: have illustrated for us that they actually know what they're doing,
Speaker 1: and so we can kind of like give them the
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt in certain areas that they're going
Speaker 1: to make the right moves in order to But the
Speaker 1: Jimmy G signing is off the charts in my book,
Speaker 1: and that type of quarterback puts you in the mix.
Speaker 1: And McVeigh and Shanahan, you can tell they're gonna be
Speaker 1: really competitive with each other. I don't think they love
Speaker 1: the fact that they're in the same division and they're
Speaker 1: going to be butting heads. But because they are now,
Speaker 1: it's like it's like all business. We you know one,
Speaker 1: you know, the mentor and the pupil and like the
Speaker 1: too hot sort of offensive minds, and like I think
Speaker 1: Pete Traeger pointed this out that I think it'll even
Speaker 1: be a little bit in the ram's mind how the
Speaker 1: is just wiped the floor with their backups in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: I know it was a week seventeen game they didn't
Speaker 1: care about, but man, they wiped the floor with them,
Speaker 1: and they enjoyed it. If the Patriots take those two
Speaker 1: draft picks to move up and get a quarterback, it's
Speaker 1: not gonna happen, or use one of the first round
Speaker 1: picks on a quarterback that could happen. I think, why
Speaker 1: didn't they just keep Jimmy then one of those picks
Speaker 1: is Jimmy g the second round pick, because they couldn't
Speaker 1: keep them under contract. That was why couldn't they well
Speaker 1: plus if you so, it depends on what you put
Speaker 1: into the Seth Wicker from article, but it sounded like
Speaker 1: According to that article, Seth contends that his sources tell
Speaker 1: him that Belichick wanted to hold onto him, So it
Speaker 1: does buy you time getting a two year old prospect.
Speaker 1: If they did go get one, then I think that
Speaker 1: could be an indication that Belichick went back and said, like, look,
Speaker 1: see we got rid of that guy. That's what we
Speaker 1: could have had. Like, you know, they weren't going to
Speaker 1: give him twenty wasn't his agent wasn't even listening to
Speaker 1: whatever they were trying to pull off as he shouldn't.
Speaker 1: You know, I get it. He has the same agent
Speaker 1: as Tom Brady. They were kind of screwed by that
Speaker 1: from the beginning. This from Corey Gardner at runs Trail Ultras,
Speaker 1: what are the odds? Mark with a K, Come on,
Speaker 1: come on, Corey, it's smart with a C. You know
Speaker 1: that Uh never returns from the USO tour and just
Speaker 1: keeps wandering Europe in a wanderlust stupor. I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: very little because in this case, again he is the
Speaker 1: responsibility of the United States government and Armed services. So
Speaker 1: it's their job to get him back home to his family,
Speaker 1: and that's true. They'd get the job done otherwise, although
Speaker 1: if it was a little looser and of the of
Speaker 1: the trip, I think it would be probably a coin flip.
Speaker 1: This from Brian Adams at Year of the Brian nice
Speaker 1: handle to the guys. When you bought your means, did
Speaker 1: you get the ones with the wiener whole park in
Speaker 1: the front or without? I got the ones without huge
Speaker 1: mistake thoughts. I'll hang up and take my answer off air. Thanks.
Speaker 1: This is a real tweet. I just thought, like Dan
Speaker 1: wrote the second he wanted to answer this question, so
Speaker 1: it just sounded like Dan just I never got any
Speaker 1: In fact that even though the free ones they gave us,
Speaker 1: they gave away oh right to West's girlfriend famously. Yeah, strange,
Speaker 1: which was interesting move. I don't know. I didn't put
Speaker 1: a lot of thought into a bride uh PJ at
Speaker 1: the asmon what person slash persons are you hoping gets
Speaker 1: the Monday night football analyst gig who do you predict?
Speaker 1: Will lindsay, Also, you can answer me question if you
Speaker 1: want not uh moneay not football. I don't know someone
Speaker 1: I don't know. I loose Riddick wants it. I like
Speaker 1: that though I like Lewis Riddick. I really like Lewis
Speaker 1: Riddick in the studio. I have no idea what he
Speaker 1: would be like on a game because I haven't heard
Speaker 1: take my chances that he could make he could make
Speaker 1: me smarter watching football with a little definitely, but would
Speaker 1: he be kind of um like, would you need a
Speaker 1: three person booth if you did that so you had
Speaker 1: somebody who was just there for a little bit of
Speaker 1: like to lighten it a little bit. Because he's a
Speaker 1: really serious guy, which I enjoy, Like I'm a big
Speaker 1: fan of of his style of analysis and like my
Speaker 1: ok style of analysis. But from just a broadcast of
Speaker 1: three hours long maybe because like the level of like
Speaker 1: funny is only going to get so high on a
Speaker 1: football broadcast anyway, So just give me the give me
Speaker 1: the infant. So but it's a prime time you know,
Speaker 1: it's not like a mid day right, I'm thinking from
Speaker 1: the ptudio exact. I mean that I didn't need to
Speaker 1: be as emphatic about that. Um no, absolutely not new
Speaker 1: I'm saying maybe more of an analyst too, so like
Speaker 1: Romo brings that energy, you know, but also really strong analysis.
Speaker 1: I love Tony Romo as an analyst. Uh, but so
Speaker 1: maybe maybe somebody who's going to bring that energy. No,
Speaker 1: he is under locking key. How about I'm going to
Speaker 1: pound the table for Bruce Arians again. Oh yeah, that's
Speaker 1: good Cutler. I think Cutler would be fun based on
Speaker 1: also based on what Adam Gates told us at the
Speaker 1: Owner's Beings that he thinks Cutler would just kind of
Speaker 1: have no problems like ripping people, right, but he would
Speaker 1: also be low energy, and Arians is kind of surprisingly
Speaker 1: low energy. Like in his answers he says all sorts
Speaker 1: of things that you're like, oh my gosh, you just
Speaker 1: cost it so rad. He's amazing. I want to have
Speaker 1: a beer with him. But he's he's he's a low
Speaker 1: energy deliverer. M. That's a good point. All right, Moving on, Nick,
Speaker 1: do we have an answer? I have to keep the
Speaker 1: show moving. We we like Riddeck in some way, shape
Speaker 1: or form. Okay, I think that's what we just decided, right.
Speaker 1: I I understand the point you're making about Arians. I
Speaker 1: didn't look at it that way, but I think it
Speaker 1: would be worth a trial because he has to know
Speaker 1: how he's not afraid to speak his mind, and he's
Speaker 1: just a type of guy you'd like to spend three
Speaker 1: hours with. Maybe or it wouldn't work. It's fun. It's
Speaker 1: a fun experiment always. Nick Litchington, Right, what has been
Speaker 1: your favorite move of the off season so far? Great?
Speaker 1: I'd say that Marcus Peters trade. I think that the
Speaker 1: money that they don't have to pay him essentially, and
Speaker 1: it's basically like a two year, ten million dollar contract
Speaker 1: this year. At one point, it's like that. It just
Speaker 1: felt like such a steal to add a top five cornerback.
Speaker 1: I think that of all the things the Rams and
Speaker 1: really anyone's done, that's number one for me. That's a
Speaker 1: good point. That's a good point. That is a really
Speaker 1: real I was gonna throw Sue out there. I just
Speaker 1: in general, the Rams offseason has been a lot of
Speaker 1: fun and balls and kind of fascinating to me. Um
Speaker 1: So I would say Sue Peters is another good one
Speaker 1: for the Soldier is a huge signing for the Giants.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, they needed help there and it hurt
Speaker 1: the Patriots. What do you got? Here's another signing the
Speaker 1: sand The Saints have signed restricted free agent receiver Cameron
Speaker 1: Meredith from the Bears to a two year, nine point
Speaker 1: six million dollar offert offer sheet. I think this is
Speaker 1: the first restricted free agent to sign elsewhere Kyle Fuller.
Speaker 1: But I like this. Actually, I wanted to put this
Speaker 1: in the show because Cameron Meredith was awesome two years ago.
Speaker 1: He's coming off a torn a c L so that's
Speaker 1: why the money is not too high. But I kind
Speaker 1: of like that risk reward they signed him to an
Speaker 1: offer sheet, or the eight they signed him to an
Speaker 1: offer sheet. The Bears will now have five days to match.
Speaker 1: So we had one other one, right Fuller, Yeah Fuller,
Speaker 1: which did get matched by the Bears. They were both
Speaker 1: on the Bears. I would think the Bears would match this,
Speaker 1: but you never know. It's a new regime. Camberon Meredith
Speaker 1: was awesome two years ago. Yes, he's a number. He
Speaker 1: was the best receiver on an NFL team, like easily.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, Dan's not sold well, Greg, he has a
Speaker 1: bit that he doesn't like the same. Sometimes sometimes Gregg's
Speaker 1: breaking news isn't quite breaking news in it. Sully's the
Speaker 1: breaking news brand, that's all. So it's more like a
Speaker 1: trust that I think anything that cross here this would
Speaker 1: this would be traveling the brand. The Chiefs have promoted
Speaker 1: Dave Taub to assistant head coach. It's been the special
Speaker 1: teams coordinator for five years, now gets another title. Well,
Speaker 1: I agree with that head coach. Okay, it's definitely breaking.
Speaker 1: Congratulations And finally from Paul Silva, what's one of your guys?
Speaker 1: Is guilty pleasure? Could be a song, a show, a movie, whatever,
Speaker 1: lindsay start with you. Let's start with Greg, Greg, let's
Speaker 1: start with Dan. All Right, I need some suggestions. I
Speaker 1: put a lot of thought into this this morning, because
Speaker 1: what is a guilty pleasure? Right, I'd have to have
Speaker 1: some level of like shame. Um. So at first I
Speaker 1: was like thinking, um, maybe it's you know, like I've
Speaker 1: talked about Steven Seagal movies of Yesteryear, but I'm not
Speaker 1: ashamed of that. It's just whatever. I'm not ashamed of it.
Speaker 1: I have no guilt. And then I was thinking, um,
Speaker 1: you know some people be like, oh, if I said, oh,
Speaker 1: I like Taylor Swift and I like like female power pop,
Speaker 1: It's like I'm not ashamed of that. Like maybe, well whatever,
Speaker 1: but again, I don't have any guilt over liking that
Speaker 1: type of is just locking my house. This year because
Speaker 1: my daughter first started listening to Kamon Janie and it's
Speaker 1: just it's taken over the year of Swift. Lord, I'm
Speaker 1: all in no guilt. And then I thought, I do
Speaker 1: watch a lot of kind of true crime shows like
Speaker 1: Forensic Files. I'll watch or like a dateline, And the
Speaker 1: ones that I really enjoy the most are the ones
Speaker 1: that are just like the terrible tragedies, senseless murders and
Speaker 1: quiet communities, and that's like, oh, this is a good one.
Speaker 1: I'm into this a little guilty about what makes that's
Speaker 1: a guilty pleasure. So the more tragic it is, the
Speaker 1: more I'm into it says a lot about you. Well
Speaker 1: keep it real over here. Yeah, I think this is
Speaker 1: a problem. We're getting too old, at least Dan and
Speaker 1: I um to feel guilty about things that we enjoy.
Speaker 1: It's one of the better things about it. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a great thing. I would Normally on most years you
Speaker 1: could have said, I could have answered this as the
Speaker 1: Bachelor watching the Bachelor, But this last season I was
Speaker 1: heard people are bailing on the Bachelor. Yeah, I bailed that.
Speaker 1: You would classify that guilty. It's guilty, whether it's pleasure
Speaker 1: full or not. Is to be debated, but it's a
Speaker 1: guilty It's so so bad, and I watch it it's
Speaker 1: almost like a hate watch, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: just to like be judgmental of the people, right, just
Speaker 1: to make yourself feel better about yourself a little bit.
Speaker 1: That part of the appeal of the watching The Bachelor
Speaker 1: and the Bachelor at I suppose the one thing that
Speaker 1: I do feel guilty about is you get us weekly
Speaker 1: and I feel a hundred percent guilty about that because
Speaker 1: of the invasive nature of it. It's like one of
Speaker 1: those things where if I'm on a plane and I
Speaker 1: actually don't have I can't, you know, be parenting or whatever.
Speaker 1: Like when I flew to Super Bowl, I had miss
Speaker 1: weeklies and I wasn't kind of embarrassed to get them out,
Speaker 1: like I didn't want to be seen reading it. But
Speaker 1: that's my turn to break off. That's a guilty pleasure.
Speaker 1: So lindsay the gossip Rags, Dan, true crime television. Greg,
Speaker 1: you've gotta have something, and you can't come out of
Speaker 1: this segment. I gave you a text of the heads
Speaker 1: up something. Greg, is everything highbrow not highbrows like I
Speaker 1: love like I love Top Chef, But why would I
Speaker 1: feel guilty? You wouldn't. I almost I almost feel guilty.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of okay, here's what things I'm out on,
Speaker 1: but that's not really a pleasure. I'm out on TV.
Speaker 1: I'm done. I've kind of I feel I feel a
Speaker 1: little out of You're turning a guilty pleasure into a
Speaker 1: humble breg. It's definitely not a hum Why would it
Speaker 1: feels like you're out of step. It's like it's like
Speaker 1: while your entire timeline is talking about the Masters, it's
Speaker 1: like that feeling, which I know you also have. It's
Speaker 1: like all right, like all right, let's wait till this
Speaker 1: is done. But like no TV, no Netflix, no HBO,
Speaker 1: no showtime. I mean, I get next. I don't have patience,
Speaker 1: like but that's besides except for This is Us, which
Speaker 1: literally I've cried to every single episode I've seen, including
Speaker 1: last night I watched one on TVR And I've definitely
Speaker 1: got into Taylor Swift this year because but I don't
Speaker 1: feel guilty about that. Would you if you pulled up
Speaker 1: if you pulled up to work here right and you
Speaker 1: got out your your key your key card to swipe,
Speaker 1: and you had to roll your window down and Taylor
Speaker 1: Swift was playing, would you turn it down? The only
Speaker 1: time I would ever do that is if it's has
Speaker 1: unsavory words, you know, coming out, then then then you
Speaker 1: might you might turn it down. But that's not gonna
Speaker 1: happen on Taylor. No, probably not all right, Grect, Well,
Speaker 1: we all aspire to be like you. Why nothing to
Speaker 1: be guilty about? That's not that I just don't have
Speaker 1: a good answer. I don't have to have a good
Speaker 1: answer for another one of your questions. And um, thanks
