Speaker 1: Beckham better? Question? Does Odell Beckham have good hair? We'll
Speaker 1: start there. I wouldn't do what he does with it,
Speaker 1: but he has. He is a he has a flexibility
Speaker 1: to do a lot of different things with his hair.
Speaker 1: It's got good hair. Sure, he's flashy. He's got flashy hair.
Speaker 1: West will go to you as a source of this hair.
Speaker 1: Is overrated hair overrated? There you go. That's the answer.

Speaker 1: but about it. Beautiful Greg. Yeah. Yes. This is the
Speaker 1: Friday edition of the Around the NFL Podcast. UM so
Speaker 1: much to get to today. Uh some deals, including one

Speaker 1: this is big news for our show and UM and
Speaker 1: and there's more good news about the podcast to come
Speaker 1: if you're unable to and we love to see as
Speaker 1: many of you as possible at the different events that
Speaker 1: will be around our trip to England again in the
Speaker 1: first week of September, but if you can't make it,
Speaker 1: there's there's more are good news to come about this podcast.
Speaker 1: Uh not. Some people thought is it bad news? No? No,
Speaker 1: all good news and UM and also Erica you're going
Speaker 1: to be there as well behind the glass sitting and
Speaker 1: for Lindsay Today. Yeah, I'm going I get to go
Speaker 1: film you guys. How exciting? How exciting is that? I
Speaker 1: have not I'm very excited. Half of the gets to
Speaker 1: go to the UK the broadcast. Yeah, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: your unbelievable ability of self promotion. It just it it
Speaker 1: was an accident. I really didn't mean to play that
Speaker 1: the broadcast. Check out the broadcast, which is you and
Speaker 1: m MVP and Connie Fox in some capacity. Although I
Speaker 1: will give you the warning that Connie was also technically
Speaker 1: on our softball team, uh and also at one time
Speaker 1: was on this podcast, and sometimes she's hard to nail down,
Speaker 1: especially she becomes more successful. Connye has put more effort
Speaker 1: into the broadcast than she did to the softball team,
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. She's appeared multiple times. I think
Speaker 1: she'll be part of our Tuesday shows during the season,
Speaker 1: at least we're pretty hopeful of that. But yeah, tam
Speaker 1: Posse will be there. I feel like she'd be high
Speaker 1: on the list of of people that might not make
Speaker 1: it back, like if I had to rank them just
Speaker 1: for something happening in London that that prevents it. Like
Speaker 1: Mark might just escape and try to stay. Tam Posey
Speaker 1: might be you know a detail. I'm definitely a flea
Speaker 1: candidate to candidate just at the end, I'll do all
Speaker 1: the work and then post might not be allowed to
Speaker 1: come back, like its just some sort of launch an incident.
Speaker 1: Mark's gonna hand me a letter sealed in an envelope
Speaker 1: and say, Dan, I'm trusting you with this Please do
Speaker 1: not open it. Give it directly to Simone when you well,
Speaker 1: I would invite them to join me joking he's taking
Speaker 1: a powder of bite. I would invite them. He lies
Speaker 1: like sending. Uh if you can make it. So, Yes,
Speaker 1: that is the big news, Uh for the show. We're
Speaker 1: really excited to do it. And thanks to everyone behind
Speaker 1: the scenes, uh the Shadowy League figures for helping to
Speaker 1: make it happen. Yeah, and all those letters to Rod Finally,
Speaker 1: I mean this has been all those postcards get out
Speaker 1: and finally like all right, let's do it. Yeah, all
Speaker 1: those um oh, it's been years that we've talked about
Speaker 1: wanting to make the trip overseas, and uh, it's finally
Speaker 1: happening this year. It almost happened last year. We were
Speaker 1: quite disappointed when it didn't. But this is actually even
Speaker 1: better because West is healthy this year, and so it's
Speaker 1: gonna be the four nine days, which I never would
Speaker 1: have really imagined. We're getting there a long time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a week before Week one starts and then we'll be there,
Speaker 1: uh till the Monday after week one. Well, there you go.
Speaker 1: What better place to us. You're in the new season,
Speaker 1: perfect perfect to do it and we're gonna get a
Speaker 1: rude awakening on the time difference for games as well,
Speaker 1: because we'll have a lot of duties to handle. Mark.
Speaker 1: But I know you can handle because it is grind thirty.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've been there before and the jet lag
Speaker 1: is not a not a concern to me at all.
Speaker 1: We're gonna fly all through this. It is. I will
Speaker 1: say that for Greg, you were there like first twenty
Speaker 1: four hours. I drank all this like strong British coffee
Speaker 1: and nearly threw up on a bus to Bill's practice.
Speaker 1: Because your body is going through some things. Maybe it
Speaker 1: was the Bill's practice. It could have been all right.
Speaker 1: So there's the good news. More good news to come
Speaker 1: for everyone. But for people in and around UH, England
Speaker 1: and the UK, UH come see us, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: have a lot of fun, all of us together. It
Speaker 1: will be a celebration of our show and the audience
Speaker 1: can't wait. Let's do some news. Tom, and you're Tom,
Speaker 1: but I'm talking to the same name. It's the same name.
Speaker 1: How cool I got your name? That is Tom Brady
Speaker 1: at Patriots training camp, meeting to toddlers both three years old.
Speaker 1: I think twins that were named Thomas and Brady the
Speaker 1: parents shortly after some Super Bowl conquest I believe was
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. He was gave them those names to match
Speaker 1: up with the famous quarterback. I don't like when Tom
Speaker 1: Brady comes off as likable and kind and personable. So
Speaker 1: I didn't enjoy the video. But I'm sure some people
Speaker 1: one of them is as Edelman is the middle name too,
Speaker 1: so it goes on beyond just the first that's pretty wild.
Speaker 1: Thomas Killian and then um Brady Edelman or Thomas Edelman
Speaker 1: all right, and of course Colton Sessler, so you're kind
Speaker 1: of in this world as well. Actually exactly the same
Speaker 1: named your I don't I don't. I don't like bring
Speaker 1: that up a lot in my own house, but named
Speaker 1: Colton after Colt McCoy. And literally the night that cult
Speaker 1: was born, the Browns drafted Brandon Weeden. Remember that we
Speaker 1: could McCoy's Brandon Wheeden's long gone cult. McCoy just signed
Speaker 1: a contract exactly. That's my judgment was south. All right,
Speaker 1: So let's start with the Los Angeles Chargers. A lot
Speaker 1: of a lot of buzz out there that the Chargers
Speaker 1: could be a team of a t L favorite this season. Well,
Speaker 1: it would help if they stopped losing key players to
Speaker 1: devastating injuries before August. NFL Network insider Ian Rappaport reported
Speaker 1: Friday that Chargers cornerback Jason Barrett Brett suffered what is
Speaker 1: believed to be a torn achilles during his conditioning test.
Speaker 1: What that was only the Chargers, This only happens to
Speaker 1: the Charges that will likely knock him out for the season. Uh,
Speaker 1: this is the first day of camp. Um. This is
Speaker 1: a cornerback just twenty seven years old, but has not
Speaker 1: played much. He's always been dealing with injuries. When he
Speaker 1: has played, greg he has been Uh, he's shown signs
Speaker 1: of being a stud. But his career is keeps on
Speaker 1: taking blows, and so do the Chargers. It feels like
Speaker 1: we start every season with this news of bad news
Speaker 1: happening to the Chargers. Henry Hunter, Henry the tight end,
Speaker 1: and Jason Verrette were two of the brightest talents on
Speaker 1: the team. When it comes to Verrette, though, I guess
Speaker 1: we have to admit it's been more in theory that
Speaker 1: he's been a great player than practice. He he was
Speaker 1: at an all pro type level in two thousand fifteen,
Speaker 1: when he played most of the season. But he's been
Speaker 1: in the league now five years if you count this year,
Speaker 1: and that is literally the only season where he's been healthy.
Speaker 1: So he's just one of those guys unfortunately that's never
Speaker 1: gonna have the career that that he could have had
Speaker 1: because of injuries. Why not the Chargers ever have like
Speaker 1: a fourth string receiver with a hamstring. It's always the
Speaker 1: starting cornerback with a season ending injury, or it's always
Speaker 1: a key player out for the year. It's never a
Speaker 1: minor nagging injury. And the timing it's always either before
Speaker 1: the season early in the season, so it's like an
Speaker 1: entire year, seems. I do want to I would love
Speaker 1: to to look in an actual study because anecdotally, the
Speaker 1: Chargers are more cursed injury wise than anyone else. But
Speaker 1: but I want to see on paper if that's actually true.
Speaker 1: Warren Sharp of Sharp Football did a study. They have
Speaker 1: lost over the last five years the fourth most games
Speaker 1: due to injury and are the unluckiest teams in one
Speaker 1: score games. So bad luck has been haunting this team
Speaker 1: for a half decade. And you know, you could you
Speaker 1: could say as much as I'm a Chargers fan, like
Speaker 1: uh rocking a Chargers cap sometimes next now and I'm
Speaker 1: going to school in the morning. Maybe they've brought some
Speaker 1: bad luck on themselves in terms of juju and choices.
Speaker 1: In terms of leaving San Diego, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: mean in terms of you know, they had a great
Speaker 1: fan base there they left them, and um, I don't know. Well,
Speaker 1: I think more like scientifically they've had they've had medical
Speaker 1: personnel that has come under a lot of fire. The
Speaker 1: people that they've hired for the medical team have really
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's the same now, but well
Speaker 1: they have five years ago they did. Of course, that
Speaker 1: medical team will also say, don't bring us into this.
Speaker 1: This guy stepped on the field for the I do
Speaker 1: want to point out before we move on. I thought
Speaker 1: they had the deepest cornerback group in the entire NFL.
Speaker 1: Desmond King was incredible last year as a rookie slot guy,
Speaker 1: Casey Hayward is a Pro bowler, and Trevor Williams played
Speaker 1: excellent last year. So they had four quality cornerbacks which
Speaker 1: no other team has. I do think that they can survive. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they also have Derwin James at safety. That I mean
Speaker 1: they their secondary is very strong. They were top ten
Speaker 1: and past defensive metrics and third in scoring defense without
Speaker 1: Barrette last year. So it's not like this is a
Speaker 1: backbreaking injury mark based on the scientist Chris Westling's data,
Speaker 1: his waterfall of data. Oh that's a new one. Are
Speaker 1: you ready to now agree that the old juicer nailed
Speaker 1: it by naming the Chargers the number one team on
Speaker 1: the Now you got you got extremely um an overly
Speaker 1: aggressively cute with that. That move number one what on
Speaker 1: the pain ranking and you know that's kind of one
Speaker 1: of the they're one of the better teams in the NFC.
Speaker 1: I think we're last year to remain number one because
Speaker 1: that was written in in digital ink and it's just there.
Speaker 1: It's like the Olympics, maybe Martin every years. So now
Speaker 1: maybe you can get that spot back, but it is
Speaker 1: it is a total charade, this conversation. Uh, let's talk
Speaker 1: about players that got paid. Some players are looking to
Speaker 1: get paid. Some players do get paid. Julio Jones, the
Speaker 1: superstar Falcons wide receiver who was upset that he was
Speaker 1: not getting his UM contract rework despite their being three
Speaker 1: years of remaining on the deal. While they come to
Speaker 1: a compromise, Chris Wesling a revised contract that had just
Speaker 1: This is very similar to our own situation a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago, where West led the charge uh and
Speaker 1: was kind of out in front of it. I think
Speaker 1: there was even some tweets where a guy I like said,
Speaker 1: I'm taking down my Chris Westling screen saver because he's
Speaker 1: complaining about money. Like I think I remember that. Um,
Speaker 1: the Falcons have agreed to a revised contract that had
Speaker 1: just Jones a salary for the eighteen season. Raptureet reported
Speaker 1: Atlanta moved to total two point seven million from the
Speaker 1: two thou eighteen year of the deal. It's a modest raise, obviously, West,
Speaker 1: but it was enough to get Julio to say, okay,
Speaker 1: we'll play ball. Yeah. I mean, it's an excellent analogy
Speaker 1: except for the fact that I could barely eat, couldn't
Speaker 1: afford rent, and could not afford to even drive my car,
Speaker 1: and Julio was making millions of dollars ball players make millions.
Speaker 1: What do they get off? This goes to show, I
Speaker 1: think how stable the Falcons are that they Julio came
Speaker 1: out after this and said I'll be a Falcon for
Speaker 1: life now. They promised in addition to giving him two
Speaker 1: point nine million dollars this year from future years that
Speaker 1: that is borrowed from. They promised to sit down and
Speaker 1: negotiate again next season for a new deal. But name
Speaker 1: a name a franchise that is set up first excess
Speaker 1: better than the Falcons over the next three years. Maybe
Speaker 1: the Eagles, maybe at the Rams, I don't know, but
Speaker 1: the Falcons would be right there in the top three
Speaker 1: there in that window. And it's good fun office work.
Speaker 1: They just extended Thomas to Mitch Roff and you find
Speaker 1: out why because your super Bowl window is still open
Speaker 1: and you don't have this as an ongoing drama with
Speaker 1: Julio Jones. It's not a ton of money, but they
Speaker 1: figured it out. He's turning thirty. That's still a tricky
Speaker 1: contract to deal with next offseason, but you avoided what
Speaker 1: could have been a month of ill stories and back
Speaker 1: and forth. I'm all in on these Falcons. I want him,
Speaker 1: I want him to be one of those best teams
Speaker 1: in the league and get I want them to win
Speaker 1: US until your Patriots knocked them off in them. I mean,
Speaker 1: if they happen to play the Patriots in the super Bowl,
Speaker 1: that then obviously I wouldn't be If you reach the
Speaker 1: super Bowl and then reach what the second round of
Speaker 1: the playoffs the next year, You're already one of the
Speaker 1: best teams in the league. They could have won the
Speaker 1: super Bowl last year, I believe, and and they have
Speaker 1: the roster I think to be right back in the
Speaker 1: mix and other news Teller Luan, the star left tackle
Speaker 1: of the Tennessee Titans, is now the richest offensive lineman
Speaker 1: in football. He um signs a deal with five years,
Speaker 1: eighty million, sixty sixteen million per season, fifty million and guarantees,
Speaker 1: although Greg will point out not guaranteed. I gotta see
Speaker 1: those details anyway. The deal for Luan tops Nate Soldiers.
Speaker 1: Big deal he just got from the Giants. Uh So
Speaker 1: he Luan uh is locked in and his worth every
Speaker 1: penny for the Titans, right, Because what's harder to find
Speaker 1: than a stud left tackle? Yeah? I mean West. You
Speaker 1: said it on the last show, position scarcity. You why
Speaker 1: are these guys getting paid this kind of money? Because
Speaker 1: there aren't enough for them to go around league wide.
Speaker 1: When you have one, you absolutely you let him go.
Speaker 1: You have a major void to fill in the college
Speaker 1: game is not producing left tackles. At the rate that
Speaker 1: it used to. Let's give the Cowboys a lot of
Speaker 1: credit here. Franchise quarterback is so obviously the most important
Speaker 1: important asset in the NFL. A rock solide offensive line
Speaker 1: is probably the most elusive asset in the NFL right now,
Speaker 1: tan years ago it wasn't. Now it is, and the
Speaker 1: Cowboys planned ahead. When you see Taylor Ruan and Jake
Speaker 1: Matthews getting paid this kind of money and then look
Speaker 1: what Tyrone Smith is getting paid. Was a Hall of Famer,
Speaker 1: and Travis Frederick and Zack I mean, Zack Martin got
Speaker 1: paid too. But the Cowboys are in great shape on
Speaker 1: that offensive line, and the Titans are in good shape too.
Speaker 1: Let's give them credit to John Robinson has really done
Speaker 1: an incredible job I think in his three years, not
Speaker 1: that he drafted Luwan, but the draft classes that he's
Speaker 1: had and now keeping the right players there. As West mentioned,
Speaker 1: Jake Matthews and the Falcons also came to terms on
Speaker 1: a new deal very similar, uh in terms of raw
Speaker 1: numbers to the Luan deal, five year, seventy five million,
Speaker 1: the number six overall pick in two thousand and fourteen.
Speaker 1: He has been a rock for that team. Uh, and
Speaker 1: he will not be going anywhere, which is from that
Speaker 1: run down. This just shows Date Soldier and Jake Matthews
Speaker 1: getting that kind of money just shows how tough it
Speaker 1: is that and it's kind of like quarterback where a
Speaker 1: slightly better than average starter is worth that much. Because
Speaker 1: I think Jake matt he's a guy who's hat ups
Speaker 1: and downs and he's solid, but he's not a guy
Speaker 1: that you think of in the same way as you
Speaker 1: think of a Tyrant Smith or he's even Lauan. He's
Speaker 1: getting paid because he's not a liability, right, Can I
Speaker 1: clarify my rock statement? Yeah, he's there every every game,
Speaker 1: sixty three out of sixty four games. They put in
Speaker 1: there and never have to think about the position. That's
Speaker 1: why you're in the lab. I think that was a
Speaker 1: good point. Separate when you're getting shredded and some key
Speaker 1: playoff moments, you gotta think about it. Nate's all, they
Speaker 1: got paid a ton of money. He's been shredded. Who
Speaker 1: doesn't get treaded? Your boy Joe Thomas was a guy
Speaker 1: that was seen as almost pure. All these guys have
Speaker 1: ups and downs. We all do. Sometimes we have podcast
Speaker 1: episodes tried to block and Freeny's uh and other news.
Speaker 1: Oh this is fun. The Eagles the defending Super Bowl champions.
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, so we should issue a podcast correction. It
Speaker 1: was I guess erroneous data that we had data, A
Speaker 1: fire hose of data we got and we got sprayed
Speaker 1: by the hose in the face. We took a fire
Speaker 1: is of illicit data right to the face mark totally erroneous.
Speaker 1: What what was the data point that was in the
Speaker 1: data point that was incorrect? Was that Carson Wentz would
Speaker 1: start the preseason or start training camp on the pup list,
Speaker 1: which we said on Wednesday. Not the case. He's not
Speaker 1: on the publist. He's practicing with the team and in
Speaker 1: his uh, what's up? I'm just saying we shouldn't take
Speaker 1: the blame. We were just passing along, you know, NASA.
Speaker 1: We got blasted with the fire hose of data data.
Speaker 1: A reporter asked, Wentz, did you get any workouts in
Speaker 1: any rehab work during your honeymoon? He was just married,
Speaker 1: got some workouts, bang mark, I mean, does it do
Speaker 1: anything for you? Not? News flash, husband and wife engage
Speaker 1: in physical relationship, it goes. I think West has a
Speaker 1: how how the world works along running truism that anything
Speaker 1: said in like by a coach or a player and
Speaker 1: a press conference is laughed out about five harder and
Speaker 1: and everyone thinks it's far funnier in that context that
Speaker 1: it would be in real life, Like Peyton Manning was
Speaker 1: like it was like a modern day Chris Rock. People
Speaker 1: thought behind the mic, and it's like, you know, well,
Speaker 1: it's a similar like remember when you were a kid,
Speaker 1: and like they would show like a half an hour
Speaker 1: TV special in in in class, and everyone'd be sitting
Speaker 1: there and then it would These are on old VCR tapes.
Speaker 1: They include the commercials and everyone is splitting, like laughing
Speaker 1: hysterically at the commercials. But at your house you would
Speaker 1: never laugh at the commercials. It's like that Eddie Murphy
Speaker 1: joke from Raw or whichever, one of those delirious where
Speaker 1: he talks about when you get out of jail, like
Speaker 1: a cracker tastes like filet mignon, you know, the best cracker.
Speaker 1: When you're at a press conference and you listen to
Speaker 1: these canned responses over and over again, an attempt at
Speaker 1: humor feels much funnier than it really is. Plus just
Speaker 1: like you know, pointing on a honeymoon is it's just
Speaker 1: it's funny to think I think so. I think you
Speaker 1: guys sound a little centical. It was. It was kind
Speaker 1: of a funny little moment. You know, our podcast we
Speaker 1: sometimes like to shine a light on little funny moments.
Speaker 1: It wasn't a comic genius, just a nice little aside,
Speaker 1: good timing from Carson. That's all. That's all. You pulled
Speaker 1: it off. Now, you pulled it off. That's all I'm saying. Mark.
Speaker 1: I am not a major like I don't have any
Speaker 1: major negative thoughts about the interaction. I just I was
Speaker 1: watching your face. It seemed like you're annoyed by it.
Speaker 1: In general, the reaction, I think in general, if you
Speaker 1: are watching our programming, a lot of stuff happening right
Speaker 1: now in NFL Network is this isn't funny, but we
Speaker 1: sure going to make you think that. We think it's funny.
Speaker 1: We have semi breaking news for Sami breaking at the
Speaker 1: end of the table. What do you got? Let's Taylor
Speaker 1: la Wan was not the only Titan to get a
Speaker 1: contract extension. Delaney Walker Pro Bowl tight end two year,
Speaker 1: seventeen million extension. I love that guy. Pro Bowl, Greg
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, you know the guy that's a major difference
Speaker 1: maker on that team. That's breaking news. Good job, Bless.
Speaker 1: I think we should use breaking news more. It's just
Speaker 1: like a fun little sound. I did get excited. I
Speaker 1: did a study about ten years ago when I was
Speaker 1: working for Greg about the way about Greg know about
Speaker 1: the way different positions age and ten years ago, tight
Speaker 1: ends aged not quite as poorly as running backs, but
Speaker 1: close to it. You didn't see too many tight ends
Speaker 1: into their thirties playing well and now, because I think
Speaker 1: it's much closer to a wide receiver position the age
Speaker 1: like wide receiver. Delaney Walker didn't become a starter until
Speaker 1: age twenty nine, and he's been a pro bowler at
Speaker 1: thirty one, thirty two, and thirty three. What if he
Speaker 1: didn't spend his first seven years of his career behind
Speaker 1: Vernon Davis Bocket, the stats this guy's would have would
Speaker 1: be really impressive. I think if they had a league
Speaker 1: wide tournament of some sort of like ultimate athletic showdown
Speaker 1: of power and speed and all that, Delaney Walker would
Speaker 1: be one of the top seeds. Try to make that happen.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's like ultimate fighting or exactly
Speaker 1: what it is, but I think it used to be
Speaker 1: like the eighties. What was that? The Battle a Battle
Speaker 1: the network stars espn F S one, NFL Network. Let's
Speaker 1: have some fun, let's fly, let's do it. Moving on Greg,
Speaker 1: you uh, we have a segment on the show called
Speaker 1: Greg Likes Rap and I don't want to do it.
Speaker 1: Pops up occasionally on this show. You are as someone
Speaker 1: that represents the New Orleans region as a college student
Speaker 1: down there with two lane, you obviously must be a
Speaker 1: big Little Wayne fan, either past or present. Absolutely got um.
Speaker 1: If you've never heard Little Wayne, prominent hip hop artist
Speaker 1: of the last ten twelve years, this is what he
Speaker 1: sounds like. Get me on a He said, you want
Speaker 1: to keep watch a sack and game at Tillingham. I
Speaker 1: keep that jealous music. So, of course that is not
Speaker 1: really Little Wayne. The um M, horrific rules of our company.
Speaker 1: It will not allow us to play any music that's
Speaker 1: commercial music. But that's what he kind of sounds like.
Speaker 1: That one was a little closer than most. I had
Speaker 1: to put a lot of bleeps in there. That was
Speaker 1: in our library and I was listening to it. Those
Speaker 1: are those are my executed bleeps. You can's in our
Speaker 1: library aren't we allowed to play it with the sea
Speaker 1: the sailor's language, right, definitely not. Let's sail through that
Speaker 1: loophole um anyway. So Kyle Shanahan, the forty Niners head coach,
Speaker 1: obviously grew up is he around our age? Yes? Um,
Speaker 1: he grew up a little Wayne fan, obviously, And when
Speaker 1: he had a son with his wife, he named his
Speaker 1: son Carter, after a little Wayne. That's that's a little
Speaker 1: Wayne's name, given name, birth name correct. Also the name
Speaker 1: of his You know, the album's Carter Carter too, right
Speaker 1: of course? So um, what does a little Wayne do?
Speaker 1: What does wheezy do? Greg? He sends an autograph photo
Speaker 1: to the son and father and autograph CDs and a
Speaker 1: note that reads, uh, to Kyle, thank you. I appreciate
Speaker 1: the honor that is that it is hell. I have
Speaker 1: three boys on my own and only one is named
Speaker 1: after me. L O L love Little Wayne. Hey, little Wayne,
Speaker 1: what do you think about this story? I like you?
Speaker 1: Let me tell you. Chris Simms, who broke this little
Speaker 1: anecdote on his Bleacher Report podcast, he reminds this Kyle
Speaker 1: Shanhan reminds me of you a little bit. Danny said
Speaker 1: that Kyle is one of those guys if you're hanging
Speaker 1: and we're drinking beers or whatever, he's got to control
Speaker 1: the music. Now this part does somebody says of Kyle Shannon,
Speaker 1: and he has a d D, so we can never
Speaker 1: listen to a full song. But Dan is a guy
Speaker 1: that when you're hanging with Daniel, bring remote speakers with him.
Speaker 1: That right, and so you and Kyl Shannon a little
Speaker 1: bit of similar DNA. I grew up. Music was always
Speaker 1: playing in my house when I was growing up. My
Speaker 1: dad was usually playing the Stones or Q one oh four,
Speaker 1: the classic rock station was on. My mom was usually
Speaker 1: Carly Simon. The Beatles would be mixed in UM and
Speaker 1: I think I just took that into my my own adulthood.
Speaker 1: I just think life's better when music is playing in
Speaker 1: the back. Absolutely, young man your wheelhouse. So then you
Speaker 1: got a nice job by a little win. Oh he's
Speaker 1: a huge sports fan. I mean he's like a little
Speaker 1: he's a little legit GI nice job by come up
Speaker 1: with juvenile. What's he doing? It's important, it's he's still around.
Speaker 1: It's important. It's important to name your kids something that
Speaker 1: reminds me. I did a little research, didn't we decide
Speaker 1: that he could be in jail. He came up on
Speaker 1: this podcast somewhat recently. B G was in jail. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure that ended them from, you know, doing the
Speaker 1: much anticipated reunion that jail sentence. Look at this, you're
Speaker 1: talking about the Hot Boys. You're you're jumping and shipped over.
Speaker 1: You're jumping ahead to uh Neighborhood Superstar, one of their
Speaker 1: great hits, rock Ice, I Need a Hot Girl. A
Speaker 1: third third Linon, you're referring to talk Taco. Charlton in
Speaker 1: Cowboys Camp said he's he's nicknamed the Cowboys defensive line,
Speaker 1: the Hot Boys, and they were kind of competing to
Speaker 1: the side. Who was Wayne, Uh kind of no one
Speaker 1: want Yeah. I kind of thought maybe Randy Gregory's b G,
Speaker 1: who's now in mal I don't know, but it really shows.
Speaker 1: I I was in New Orleans during the period when
Speaker 1: the Hot Boys first came to prominence, and which is
Speaker 1: why I think it had such an influence on It
Speaker 1: was like the Beatles. It was like the Beatles. Juvenile
Speaker 1: was like Paul McCartney at the time in New Orleans,
Speaker 1: and I thought he was more John Lennon actually, But
Speaker 1: it shows the influence that they're still talking about it
Speaker 1: all this time later. The Cowboys defensive line, he called
Speaker 1: Wayne the goat, and so they were having kind but
Speaker 1: a defensive line competition to decide who was Wayne. That's
Speaker 1: kind of like, it's gotta be de Marcus Lawrence, right,
Speaker 1: he's the best player by far. I mean, the rest
Speaker 1: of them to play sixteen games, gonna let you decide that.
Speaker 1: Although if Greg, if you had he was seeing cadre
Speaker 1: of rappers, you would obviously be the cute boys. Moving on,
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins, who is very rich and uh in a
Speaker 1: very good situation with the Kansas City Chiefs. He signed
Speaker 1: a deal with them, and he decided, uh late one night,
Speaker 1: there was three am. I think there's some people in
Speaker 1: this room that sometimes struggle to sleep. Mark, I know
Speaker 1: you you as well. Um, he was up at three am,
Speaker 1: just wide awake. And you know what he decided to
Speaker 1: do two weeks before he was going to Chief's training
Speaker 1: camp middle night took out a pair of clippers and
Speaker 1: cut off his dreads that he had been growing and
Speaker 1: worn for over a decade. And his quote, and the
Speaker 1: quote was kind of interesting to me, Chris, And we'll
Speaker 1: go back to you as our hair consultant today. Kind
Speaker 1: of just wanted to be different this season and just
Speaker 1: be about business. I've had them for twelve thirteen years.
Speaker 1: I'm twenty five now, I don't want to be forty
Speaker 1: with dreads. I just decided to cut it, so you
Speaker 1: got you know, got ahead of it by about fifteen years,
Speaker 1: cut him off. I can identify with that. There's certain
Speaker 1: looks that you want to have when you're younger, but
Speaker 1: you know that it's not quite the same when you're forty.
Speaker 1: But he's not thirty seven. Yeah, but that's it's a
Speaker 1: it has to be I can't really imagine it because
Speaker 1: I have never none of us have gone through it.
Speaker 1: But it has to be an emotional thing. Something has
Speaker 1: been growing for twelve years. That's a pretty big um.
Speaker 1: He looks a lot different. In fact, he kind of
Speaker 1: to me looks like a Special Teams player from like
Speaker 1: the nineteen eighties, Like he looks like he's from a time.
Speaker 1: One sneaky side part to this is, you know, you
Speaker 1: go to Rhodal World, you go to NFL dot Com,
Speaker 1: you go to your Spian they all have the players
Speaker 1: stock photo and all those people that do that. Now
Speaker 1: I have to say no, he looks completely different. You
Speaker 1: gotta get an updated photo. You gotta put it on
Speaker 1: your website and get all the new. You can't have
Speaker 1: dreads Sammy Watkins on your Odor World thing anymore or
Speaker 1: NFL dot com. Someone's got to be dealing with that
Speaker 1: right now. Get to work, Get on it. Silver, someone's
Speaker 1: dealing with that. Get to work. Or if they took
Speaker 1: the team photos before training, came your screening camps, you're
Speaker 1: banged in a big spot. Uh. And the other thing,
Speaker 1: this is the quote, by the way, came from the
Speaker 1: Casey Star. And I want to give you the headline
Speaker 1: of the story because I quite enjoyed that as well.
Speaker 1: New Team Comma, new cut colon Sammy Watkins sheds dreads
Speaker 1: to prove he's all business. That implies that the rest
Speaker 1: of the league with dreads not all business, or that
Speaker 1: he hasn't been about all business in the in the past.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure the headline writing is a lost art.
Speaker 1: It's a tough one. Uh. It is time now to
Speaker 1: take a trip. We went to the Ravens and ask
Speaker 1: multiple times this week, let's take a trip over the
Speaker 1: dog pound and uh, that's like a sad dog wanting
Speaker 1: to be bought at the pet store or something that's depressing.
Speaker 1: A bunch of a bunch of little Brown's nugs to hit.
Speaker 1: Let's start. They have a new slogan as they look
Speaker 1: to bounce back from one and thirty one and owned
Speaker 1: sixteen as they and it's signage all over their facility
Speaker 1: and brea welcome to the hard Land of America. Uh.
Speaker 1: Your thoughts about that mark? I I see it as
Speaker 1: a tie into hard knocks. Um, but it's to me,
Speaker 1: I am it did not latch onto me successfully. I
Speaker 1: think it conjures up other images. I think it. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure how it got out of a committee vote
Speaker 1: that this is where we want to go badly enough.
Speaker 1: That was also that was the same for Carson Wentz.
Speaker 1: Really no, Uh got this from the Brown's official side
Speaker 1: football from the hard Land of America, A phrase that
Speaker 1: will be seen on signs, banners, and more Brown's training camp. Uh.
Speaker 1: And is the refreshed identity of the Cleveland Browns. Consider
Speaker 1: it a starting point for the next generation. Oh, it's
Speaker 1: like a foundation. What do you guys think generation of
Speaker 1: Brown's That's I mean, it's I don't have a huge
Speaker 1: you had no, Dan, you had one good comment. It's like,
Speaker 1: how about just no slow less slogan a little bit.
Speaker 1: It seems like every years and then when we go
Speaker 1: seven and nine or eight, Nate and people are feeling
Speaker 1: really good slogan that yeah, And I agree, it's even
Speaker 1: as slogans go, it's it's pretty bad. And I do
Speaker 1: want to recognize West was an excellent joke there with Wentz.
Speaker 1: It just it was nice. It was a solid owner joke.
Speaker 1: The delivery was the delivery wasn't on. It wasn't It
Speaker 1: just wasn't good enough. This flew right over my head
Speaker 1: and other Brown's news. There is a big RV parked
Speaker 1: outside UH the facility, UH in the parking lot UH,
Speaker 1: a luxury r V, and according to reports, it is
Speaker 1: um the property or the temporary property of Browns quarterbacks
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield and Tyrod Taylor. It's their own personal little club,
Speaker 1: their own private space that no one but quarterbacks are
Speaker 1: allowed to be inside. And this is a Hard Knocks
Speaker 1: Dream subplot. I mean, I think it's created specifically for Harden.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of these little things bubbling up that
Speaker 1: feel very much set pieces for this show. Anywo didn't
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor or Baker Mayfield do it themselves. Um, I
Speaker 1: mean number one. I hope you would invite Drew stand
Speaker 1: Standing there as well. But I know it feels a
Speaker 1: little manufactured. But I liked I like Baker Mayfield a
Speaker 1: lot from what I've seen pre football, like on just
Speaker 1: in him in general. I really, I really did those
Speaker 1: two and I will give them the benefit of the
Speaker 1: doubt on this. Drestand good good celebrator. As you're setting
Speaker 1: aloud in the r V about broken row back, the
Speaker 1: undrafted free agent at quarterback for the next four weeks
Speaker 1: that he's on the team, he will be probably invited to.
Speaker 1: Doesn't Isn't this the number one criticism of reality TV
Speaker 1: for the twenty five years of his existence? Is it
Speaker 1: really reality TV? If you're manufacturing items for the show, Well,
Speaker 1: that's our our theory here. Yeah. I don't think there's
Speaker 1: no way they're having this bus if there's no hard
Speaker 1: and I don't think. I don't I don't buy that.
Speaker 1: This seems like I don't know. I need to read
Speaker 1: the reporting on this. I believe Diana Rassini from ESPN
Speaker 1: that's she broke it. It sounds like a Baker Mayfield
Speaker 1: thing to me that he decided to do or tyrode
Speaker 1: but one. I don't think it has to look if
Speaker 1: they if they can play quarterback better than what we've
Speaker 1: seen in that team for the past two decades. I
Speaker 1: don't care what vehicle they hang out in. A very
Speaker 1: fair and other Browns news, uh, Jarvis Landry had this
Speaker 1: to say, according to Sports Illustrated, you'll be lucky if
Speaker 1: we don't score forty on you. If we get everyone
Speaker 1: playing to their potential, we can win the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: this year. Okay again, I file this under hard land
Speaker 1: for me. Clip that off and we're gonna play it
Speaker 1: every week throughout the season. Yeah. I don't know when
Speaker 1: I saw that I would let's score forty of points
Speaker 1: between week one and week three. Uh? How about some
Speaker 1: having some Brown players with a little bit of confidence.
Speaker 1: It does feel a little bit. You call that confidence.
Speaker 1: They're coming off of six. I think Jarvis Landry is
Speaker 1: a confident player. I don't call that confidence. He's a
Speaker 1: guy who loves football and he's very confident about his
Speaker 1: abilities that that can't hurt. That is premature boasting, bordering
Speaker 1: on hubris. Uh. In other news, Bruce Arians, the former
Speaker 1: Cardinals coach who retired uh this year, is a new
Speaker 1: game analyst for CBS, and he is slated to broadcast
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and Cleveland's Week one matchup uh in the hard Land.
Speaker 1: Uh Wes you you wrote a piece on this, your
Speaker 1: great piece. Oh, thank you, Mark. Uh Well, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of history involved here. Bruce Arians got his start
Speaker 1: as a play calling savant with the Browns, and as
Speaker 1: Mark knows well, was the play caller for Kelly Holcombs
Speaker 1: shootout loss in the snow at I believe at Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: thirty three. Holcomb throws for four nine yards. One of
Speaker 1: the great That was the last time that Browns were
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, one of the great playoff games, forgotten
Speaker 1: by a lot of people. Arians goes from Cleveland to
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh become the play caller. He's replaced by Todd Haley,
Speaker 1: but not before a big kerfuffle in which Tomlin vows
Speaker 1: to get Arians to try to get Arians a contract
Speaker 1: extension that year. Instead, there's no contract period. Arians has
Speaker 1: let go. He claims to be fired. He's still bitter
Speaker 1: about it. So I think you've got all these fired.
Speaker 1: He just he just didn't have his contract right, So
Speaker 1: the Rooney has been right. He was essentially fired. Wasn't
Speaker 1: he Big Ben's best man in his wedding as well?
Speaker 1: I believe? And they have like adjoining houses on whatever
Speaker 1: that lake is in Georgia. Coach true Stanton, I mean
Speaker 1: he's number one, I think Arians. For all the times
Speaker 1: they roll these coaches out, we all think he's gonna
Speaker 1: be great. And I'm already signed up to cover this game.
Speaker 1: No one else is covering this game. How about I
Speaker 1: have a suggesting because he's doing this on CBS, right, yes,
Speaker 1: you know how we have a you know call button
Speaker 1: for our show, like while we're on how about the
Speaker 1: some producers should be assigned to have the cough button
Speaker 1: pressed down the entire game on Trent Green. I don't
Speaker 1: need to hear what Trent Green says that entire show.
Speaker 1: It feels just keep Arians have Arians and Greg Gumble
Speaker 1: and then trentin can talk. But no one actually torn
Speaker 1: apart in the dog Pound. Didn't see it coming. It happened.
Speaker 1: If we had a power rankings of broadcast teams, the
Speaker 1: Gumbel Trent Trent Green one is not high. Taken airtime
Speaker 1: away from Arians and in a perfect game for arians
Speaker 1: to David, Sorry, Trent. Uh. And finally, the Browns are
Speaker 1: I guess they're adopting dogs or are putting dogs up
Speaker 1: for adoption in conjunction with their dog pound roots, and
Speaker 1: uh they're giving the dogs different names on social media
Speaker 1: to drum up interest for these pooches. And one of them,
Speaker 1: uh that just um was surfaced or put on display
Speaker 1: was a beautiful uh twelve week old Rottweiler hound mix
Speaker 1: uh called Miles Garuff and Mark. That is problematic potentially
Speaker 1: in terms of um intellectual property. Yes it is. Should
Speaker 1: you would like me to explain why? Well, I mean
Speaker 1: this was more on West's radar, but a sorry our
Speaker 1: our our editor and and and boss David. Really this
Speaker 1: this started yesterday. I think it was like a was
Speaker 1: it Barker Mayfield really suggested Miles Gruff. I believe he
Speaker 1: added the Browns on Twitter, and then today they came
Speaker 1: up with the names. Yeah, but that's what can we
Speaker 1: can get deeper into. But they did not seemingly give
Speaker 1: David Eally the credit deserved for I was gonna say
Speaker 1: if he if it was just something where he threw
Speaker 1: it out there, It's not like there's no way you
Speaker 1: could land upon Miles Garuff. But if he added the Browns,
Speaker 1: there's a conspiracy here was there's spiracy and there was
Speaker 1: a certain listener, Brandon Blenker. I'm sure he's a fine guy, good,
Speaker 1: good dude, loyal listener. But he said, in response to
Speaker 1: Dave's joke, You're never gonna land Chris Wesley's best man
Speaker 1: with jokes like that, Dave. WHOA, Let's get Dave on
Speaker 1: the phone. Uh, let's call down to the newsroom America
Speaker 1: and um see how he's feeling about this and maybe
Speaker 1: while he were on this discussion, are in some points
Speaker 1: with the groom to be good luck? Hey, Tony, can
Speaker 1: I could talk to Dave Eely? Please? Sure? Who's uh
Speaker 1: Dan Hanza City around the NFL podcast? Hang on, what's
Speaker 1: that guy? New England kicking off? They won the toss?
Speaker 1: They have, Dave, So let's get right to it. You
Speaker 1: you know what's going on here. Send out a tweet
Speaker 1: suggesting an aim for a dog and this Brown's U
Speaker 1: adoption scenario for dogs and uh, it looks like your
Speaker 1: idea was pilfered by the Browns with no credit given
Speaker 1: your thoughts in the situation. I think it's a big
Speaker 1: moment for me. Um. A lot of people did not
Speaker 1: enjoy the joke yesterday. Um, it's it's Miles Garrett. Um,
Speaker 1: a playoff of Miles garretts, it's a little puppy. Um.
Speaker 1: I think a couple there are a couple of Groans
Speaker 1: Whens in it out. Um. Someone added West and said,
Speaker 1: this is proof that I should not be a best man.
Speaker 1: But a couple of people in Cleveland beg to differ.
Speaker 1: And you know what, I don't need the credits. I
Speaker 1: just hope the dog clines get home. I'm glad. I'm
Speaker 1: glad you went the high road because because there's only
Speaker 1: so many different ways you could name a dog after
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett. And this, to me strikes strikes me more
Speaker 1: like kind of the Twitter joke that everyone makes the
Speaker 1: same joke, Like everyone including myself made like a screen
Speaker 1: saver joke after Julio Jones, and you think you know
Speaker 1: you're clad, but you don't accuse people of stealing your jokes.
Speaker 1: I think it's just a natural dog name for Miles
Speaker 1: Garrett that they came up with. You're kind of saying
Speaker 1: that comedians like Anthony Dousleman, So I thought I are
Speaker 1: a lot higher than mine. Well, I mean, come on,
Speaker 1: it's not even that great of a name. I kind
Speaker 1: of like Dan's version. Miles mccroft. Here's another one. I
Speaker 1: have another one, this one for free. Um, go ahead,
Speaker 1: that's better than Myles m mccrafford. Anyway. Alright, so an
Speaker 1: instammation West Dave not only um might have been robbed
Speaker 1: by the Browns of his I p he also has
Speaker 1: come up with another cute name. And beyond that is
Speaker 1: having a good nature in a good natured way, saying
Speaker 1: it's not a big deal. As long as these young
Speaker 1: puppies find a home, that's all that matters. Isn't that
Speaker 1: the type of character that you're looking for the best men? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: And to top it all off, we see how wide
Speaker 1: his influences Dave Eily has gravitas. As you can see,
Speaker 1: the Browns changed. The Browns made a change because of
Speaker 1: David Eally. That's the way I take this. That all
Speaker 1: makes up for the fact that it was an awful
Speaker 1: joke in a terrible name. Um, I have a scoop
Speaker 1: for you. You do what you got? Yeah, Um, a
Speaker 1: noted NFL Network insider might be hitting up the Browns
Speaker 1: to confirm where this name came from. Really very good
Speaker 1: and I respect that a lot too. That's intrepid, that's
Speaker 1: a journal work. I have a little breaking news here, okay.
Speaker 1: I just got this report from Desert People. After the
Speaker 1: latest update surrounding Dave Elli, the Vegas odds dropped from
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy five to one to be West
Speaker 1: is the best Man to two hundred and seventy two.
Speaker 1: So we are going to how you read West's reaction
Speaker 1: the arrow. I didn't move it that way. I'm as
Speaker 1: the whole Robert controversy from a few weeks ago. Clearly
Speaker 1: Vegas believes that we have well, I think your influenced.
Speaker 1: That's another thing. The rams come out wearing rompers. That's
Speaker 1: gotta be an eally influence. Is this some amateur uh
Speaker 1: lines making it? Because there there's some sharps there in Vegas.
Speaker 1: They got a lot, they got a lot in their bankroll,
Speaker 1: and whatever the maximum amount is, they're just putting on
Speaker 1: it because that's that's free money. This there's just should
Speaker 1: be ten one, all right, Gregg, You've always been a
Speaker 1: proponent of mine, so I appreciate it. Dave, of course,
Speaker 1: has his own dog Cam named after the quarterback that
Speaker 1: another prominent romper were Um. So take care of cam
Speaker 1: this weekend, uh and hopefully one day, maybe one day, Dave,
Speaker 1: you'll you'll be able to share that dog with with
Speaker 1: a woman you can only we can only help, right, alright, Friday, Friday, alright,
Speaker 1: And finally in the news, let's leave the dog pound.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a season progresses and if we all as
Speaker 1: we all hope that the rounds uh dig themselves out
Speaker 1: from the hard land and moved to higher ground, the
Speaker 1: dogs themselves will start to mature, I'd like to think,
Speaker 1: so it's not assimidating some nasty, you know, mean sounded dogs.
Speaker 1: So they've gone from believe land to hard land. I
Speaker 1: mean I had work shop this behind the scenes before
Speaker 1: we go public with some of these items. Finally in
Speaker 1: the news, congrats to an old star of Thursday Night Football, Priyaka,
Speaker 1: who's the gage, engaged to be married to a Jonas,
Speaker 1: brother of all people, Nick Jonas. They may December romance,
Speaker 1: but we're not got thirty six years old Nick, just
Speaker 1: a boy of good luck to both of them. Still

Speaker 1: People don't remember it. It's just half her superimposed over
Speaker 1: like burnt out buildings in Cleveland. It was like great, Actually,

Speaker 1: with like reflections coming off them and stuff. Yeah, kind
Speaker 1: of Fox got it, got a job as part of

Speaker 1: pretty good big spot. She will not even be returning

Speaker 1: code around Jewel, perfect food every dime. All right, before
Speaker 1: we leave, I want to touch base with Greg. You
Speaker 1: remember it I was a huge hit last summer. Greggy
Speaker 1: does Dallas and production fraud. Guess what whenever there whenever
Speaker 1: movie is a hit. And maybe you could say this
Speaker 1: is a bad thing about Hollywood or or in this instance,
Speaker 1: the Hollywood adjacent industry. What happens a sequel North Hollywood,
Speaker 1: North Hollywood to be exact. Uh so let's talk about
Speaker 1: Greggy does Dallas too. Cowboys have all the fun. Greggy
Speaker 1: does Dallas in thirty seconds. That's it. How about that?
Speaker 1: That's it. You're gonna get thirty seconds on this. Let's
Speaker 1: do it right and hit it. Ezekiel Elliott is in
Speaker 1: better shape than the previous two camps of his career.
Speaker 1: Cowboys are County on Tavon, Austin too much. Someone named
Speaker 1: Blake Jarwin is the guy who's gonna start a tight
Speaker 1: tight end. Everyone loves him Jane Slater is the best
Speaker 1: tutor for interns ever, could not be more generous. Michael Gallup,
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna take Dez Bryant's red zone snaps
Speaker 1: late and vanderge he's gonna get that middle linebacker job over.
Speaker 1: Jalen Smith. Dak Prescott is the ultimate Garrett guy. And
Speaker 1: it's still a little weird that the Cowboys built a
Speaker 1: tower for the Jones family to watch practice button right
Speaker 1: on the no. That is a little bit weird. It's
Speaker 1: very Bear Bryant, which I believe did he play. I
Speaker 1: think Jerry Jones played for Bear Bryant. This is off
Speaker 1: the top of my head, and so it's very old
Speaker 1: school football. There's a tower and it's got a huge
Speaker 1: star on it, and that's where Jerry and Stephen Jones
Speaker 1: watch practice, just lording over their minions. And you saw
Speaker 1: your boy Gil Brandt there as well. Correct, I did.
Speaker 1: He didn't make he didn't make it into the thirty seconds.
Speaker 1: But when you're a man of Gil Brand's life experience,
Speaker 1: at a certain point, I think you just you stop
Speaker 1: being called a boy in any conversation piece. That's fair.
Speaker 1: Gils the legend, though he's going to eleven training camps
Speaker 1: as part of He's going to eleven training camps as
Speaker 1: part of his serious spur with Alex Marvez, another a
Speaker 1: great host, and so he's still getting it done in
Speaker 1: that down. If you I'm just saying, so Gil, you know,
Speaker 1: you you concerned about him being called affectionately a boy,
Speaker 1: but you're trying to read you're trying to now take
Speaker 1: command over his schedule. I'm saying that Gil is a
Speaker 1: treasure of NFL media and the entire football world. Um,
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be a quarter after grind. You know,
Speaker 1: maybe let's let's move away from Grind thirty. He didn't
Speaker 1: get to be the godfather. Yeah, I'm off from grind thirty.
Speaker 1: He might be. He might get into Canton one day,
Speaker 1: and that's from grinding. That's fair. Fair anyway, if you
