Speaker 1: Wednesday show on the eve of the NFL Draft, UM,
Speaker 1: and Mark will reveal his top thirty two. Uh, pinch
Speaker 1: yourself because it's happening. I mean my Tuesday, which was
Speaker 1: wide open now, UM, includes a lot of draft research
Speaker 1: I will be doing. TU know, we need you to
Speaker 1: during this in San Diego. We want to, we want
Speaker 1: you away. We're gonna get you. This is one point
Speaker 1: out that well, it's kind of like it's always been
Speaker 1: a hole on the show. It's like, okay, four guys,
Speaker 1: it's an NFL podcast, but we're all adults. When it
Speaker 1: becomes when it comes to the NFL Draft. Finally Marcus
Speaker 1: stepped up and filled that role he's been researching for months.
Speaker 1: The world needed another mock draft. This is yeah, when
Speaker 1: when they are created, they this will be be mock draft.
Speaker 1: Can I enam? I'd him to the agenda. Ricky, you
Speaker 1: missed perhaps the most dominant performance in the Shield softball
Speaker 1: history last night. It really really what happened to victory
Speaker 1: in five intings mercy rule? It could have been about
Speaker 1: thirty to nothing after three, I think we were holding
Speaker 1: people on the bases. I mean it was mercy is
Speaker 1: the word? Run West and I both Uh. West is
Speaker 1: discovered launch angle this year and maybe some p ds.
Speaker 1: But he's driving the ball up the gaps um like
Speaker 1: I've never seen before. And I applaud this new direction.
Speaker 1: I'm more flexible before you get up every time. What's
Speaker 1: the name of the team that you vanquished? I was
Speaker 1: maybe we should bleep it out because it was a massacre.
Speaker 1: It was. It was like a major homicide, like a
Speaker 1: like eleven people were killed in this game. We played
Speaker 1: who shot you? About? B? I G Afterwards, Uh, let
Speaker 1: me finish up the schedule. Then Thursday, after the mock
Speaker 1: Special mock Draft, the Round one recap on Thursday night
Speaker 1: and then Saturday we recap the whole draft. So that's
Speaker 1: coming up next week. Big week for the show. Um,
Speaker 1: let's get into the news. We gotta do. Go Hawks,
Speaker 1: Go Hawks, But I'm gonna see you on the morning.
Speaker 1: Good night. Finally you can go to sleep, not see
Speaker 1: you on the morning. No, what species was that for us?
Speaker 1: I mean, is it what Colleen tell me that? I
Speaker 1: wouldn't think. I think you guys are missing the subtext.
Speaker 1: They just I know, like, why are they so what
Speaker 1: is up? They're gonna do it again? And Sierra, why
Speaker 1: are they so obsessed of letting us know that they
Speaker 1: are sexually active? Like there just happens all the time. Yes,
Speaker 1: they are too, very beautiful people. But like, I don't
Speaker 1: need to be in bed with you guys to find
Speaker 1: out the news that Russell Wilson got the extension, Like
Speaker 1: it really bothers me. I'm like, all right, this is good, great,
Speaker 1: good for you guys. Look at this. You've got a
Speaker 1: lot of money, you got a hot wife. What else?
Speaker 1: Even the play it again? We gotta do, Go Hawks,
Speaker 1: Go Hawks, but almost see you in the morning, good night.
Speaker 1: Finally we can go to sleep like even their voices
Speaker 1: like that's that's like what we don't need it the
Speaker 1: Gravelly bedroom. This has been a trend. Russell Wilson has
Speaker 1: been changing his voice. Boumony Jones has been talking about
Speaker 1: it for a little while since the Pro Bowl, like
Speaker 1: he has been changed. He's kind of he's code switching
Speaker 1: back to I don't know what he talks about, which
Speaker 1: is the real Russell, but he's definitely kind of leaning
Speaker 1: into this, like lower voice Barry White register when he
Speaker 1: sung in yes, have you guys ever done that? Have
Speaker 1: you guys ever changed your voice for something? Not to
Speaker 1: Barry White? I mean no, not at all. We're gonna later,
Speaker 1: We're gonna later in the show a little year at
Speaker 1: the GM voice modulation. That's for a functional segment. So
Speaker 1: all right, anyway, Russell Wilson in the news UH agreed
Speaker 1: to a four year, a hundred and forty million dollar
Speaker 1: deal um with the Seahawks. The two sides. Wilson set
Speaker 1: that deadline April, and guess what Seahawks complied. It's a
Speaker 1: new world order where the players are in control and
Speaker 1: they settle on a four year, one D forty million
Speaker 1: dollar deal, a hundred and seven million guarantee and includes
Speaker 1: a note trade clause that from rap sheet at thirty
Speaker 1: five million per year. The extension would make Wilson the
Speaker 1: highest paid player in the NFL, surpassing Aaron Rodgers deal
Speaker 1: with the Packers. Colleen Um Wilson we had heard in
Speaker 1: the ramp up to this that maybe he wanted some
Speaker 1: type of UH like sharing changing type contract where it
Speaker 1: was connected to the salary cap, which of course UH
Speaker 1: inflates every year. None of that happened, but at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, he still gets paid like a
Speaker 1: g and UH he's worth every penny. Ultimately. I was
Speaker 1: actually kind of surprised when I saw that it came
Speaker 1: down that the team actually met the deadline that he
Speaker 1: had in place like that. I feel like a lot
Speaker 1: of times that doesn't happen, and then it kind of
Speaker 1: creates a situation. And then obviously Russell Wilson wouldn't have
Speaker 1: talked about it because that was his whole thing. But
Speaker 1: I, I I mean, it's kind of nice that they met
Speaker 1: him with that, and look now they can put that
Speaker 1: issue to bed. It's smart. No more can take it
Speaker 1: in the agent who doesn't any other NFL clients, you know,
Speaker 1: parked there at their facility for five days. I mean
Speaker 1: he was there five days before they were visiting him
Speaker 1: during something. No, he was just like in an office
Speaker 1: and they would like come down and we negotiate every
Speaker 1: once in a while or trade trade offers. Uh. You
Speaker 1: know what what stuck out to me is like you
Speaker 1: said that the players are kind of in control now,
Speaker 1: and then afterwards they really pushed almost transparently that this
Speaker 1: no trade clause being like the most important thing to them.
Speaker 1: It almost feels a little like not a pr move,
Speaker 1: but it's like been really pushed hard by Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: in the agent to kind of counteract the what was
Speaker 1: going on before. And he thought that he was maybe
Speaker 1: trying to get out of town, which I don't think
Speaker 1: they were too comfortable with what it comes down to.
Speaker 1: He's thirty years old, Seahawk six and one in the
Speaker 1: regular season, six or seven years, they've made the playoffs,
Speaker 1: they won a super Bowl, should have won another one,
Speaker 1: though Russell Wilson played a role in that not happening.
Speaker 1: He's average twenty touchdown past the season second all time
Speaker 1: with the pass riding north of one. These are the
Speaker 1: guys you do not let get away, So any of
Speaker 1: the speculation west that maybe they'll trade him, maybe they
Speaker 1: want to go cheaper, because that's how they built the
Speaker 1: previous Seahawks powerhouse. Oh stop it. You have a potential
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer in your building, you don't let him
Speaker 1: get out. Yeah. I think football Twitter has taken this
Speaker 1: new tech where they decide that teams can't win Super
Speaker 1: Bowls if they pay their quarterback, just because it has,
Speaker 1: just because Julian Edelman caught a circus catch preventing Matt
Speaker 1: Ryan from winning a Super Bowl is one of the
Speaker 1: highest paid quarterbacks in the league. I don't buy into
Speaker 1: that for a bit. Of course, the degree of difficulty
Speaker 1: is harder when your quarterback is making eight of the cap,
Speaker 1: but your degree difficulty is way harder when you don't
Speaker 1: have a quarterback making that much and you have a
Speaker 1: bad quarterback. I think both sides clearly overtly wanted this
Speaker 1: to happen, and I love any deal that removes from
Speaker 1: our life, not just now in this offseason into next season,
Speaker 1: but all of next offseason and the one even potentially after,
Speaker 1: where you have potential drama of a trade to the Giants,
Speaker 1: all this other nonsense, all of that is cleared away,
Speaker 1: all those storylines, all those potentially written articles, all those debates,
Speaker 1: all those false NFL network kits, none of them exist
Speaker 1: and short of all been removed from our life. And
Speaker 1: these shorter deals are a trend too now. Like for
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks, I think Kirk Cousins helped it that Russell Wilson,
Speaker 1: if he follows the you know, track record of some
Speaker 1: of the best quarterbacks in the league, will get paid
Speaker 1: another big contract with He might be the highest paid
Speaker 1: player in the league at three different points in his career.
Speaker 1: Not bad yea for baseball agents. Let's move on Josh
Speaker 1: Rose and his uh um career with the Cardinals. Obviously
Speaker 1: in doubt. He's been quiet, although he has been taking
Speaker 1: part in voluntary workouts in Arizona. He spoke to s
Speaker 1: I t v UH this week and had this to
Speaker 1: say about his situation. I think when people talk about
Speaker 1: like you can't listen to criticism or don't ever read
Speaker 1: articles like you have to be aware of what's going
Speaker 1: on to a certain extent. So like, I definitely understand
Speaker 1: the situation. I mean it's annoying, but like it is
Speaker 1: what it is. Football is a business, and I definitely
Speaker 1: respect the higher ups in their decisions. The guys in
Speaker 1: a very tough spot obviously, and for what it's worth,
Speaker 1: Greg and I know you were out of town for
Speaker 1: parts of this week, but I'm sure you are aware
Speaker 1: of what's going on on the Twitter verse. Daniel Jeremiah
Speaker 1: went from being certain that Kyler Murray was going to
Speaker 1: be the first overall pick on Monday to sixty or
Speaker 1: sixty percent on Tuesday, and then yesterday Wednesday back to
Speaker 1: just so you know, that was based off of the
Speaker 1: Redskins visit. So he went from confidence down to sixty
Speaker 1: percent on Monday because of the scheduled visit that Kyler
Speaker 1: had to the Redskins, and then when Kyler canceled the
Speaker 1: visit to the Redskins, DJ's confidence a context to that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: no problem. I like what DJ said. I don't believe
Speaker 1: anything you hear in the next couple of weeks. That
Speaker 1: was the thing, you know, a week ago. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna include DJ's percentage flopping flip flopping in that. Max.
Speaker 1: Was that on your program here on NFL Network? It
Speaker 1: was that's the only remember, hey, path to the Draft
Speaker 1: check it out six pm Eastern Monday through Friday. But
Speaker 1: really on Friday's we'll see, well he get traded. This
Speaker 1: could be uh, it could happen soon, could not happen
Speaker 1: at all. That kind of that stinks for him though too.
Speaker 1: I mean you you would think when a team gives
Speaker 1: up that much draft capital to move up and draft
Speaker 1: a quarterback, he's there. He thinks he's going to be
Speaker 1: the guy, and then all of a sudden everything changes,
Speaker 1: new head coach and obviously Cliff Kingsbury's connections to Kyler Murray.
Speaker 1: It stinks to be in Josh Rosen's position because he
Speaker 1: thinks he's thought this whole time that he was the man,
Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden he could go anywhere.
Speaker 1: It's good luck for the s I t V. They've
Speaker 1: got the you know, this little documentary series planned or
Speaker 1: whatever it is with Josh Rosen. That's where this came from.
Speaker 1: So now people are gonna tune in a little more news.
Speaker 1: Look at that media watch up date. And Wednesday, the
Speaker 1: NFL released it's two thousand nineteen regular season schedule. So
Speaker 1: many takeaways, and I know the heroes were busy on
Speaker 1: the website. I did right up on the top revenge games. Greg,
Speaker 1: you did something on the hardest schedules, Mark you did
Speaker 1: something on the easiest schedule. Most forgiving is how they
Speaker 1: most titled it giving west is Ali ban PARI know that, uh,
Speaker 1: not to go near you when it comes to the schedule.
Speaker 1: So you didn't write anything, or did you write something?
Speaker 1: Apparently that's the case, and I feel a little guilty
Speaker 1: about it. You could have stopped that. You could have
Speaker 1: stopped that sentence after knows not to get near you.
Speaker 1: It's like they haven't spoken in months. So let's just
Speaker 1: go quickly through some of the notable things. Yes, the
Speaker 1: Thursday night kick off is Packers at Bears. This is
Speaker 1: the one anniversary season. These are two of the oldest franchises,
Speaker 1: So there it is. So instead the Patriots, although they're
Speaker 1: defending champions, well still instead play the week one Sunday
Speaker 1: night game against the Steelers. Great football game. Uh let's
Speaker 1: see what else is out there? Uh Brown's Jets on
Speaker 1: Monday night and week two I'll be fun that does
Speaker 1: a throwback to the first ever Monday night football game
Speaker 1: back in September nineteen seventy. Um, we have London games.
Speaker 1: What of the London games? Boys? Do we know? Well?
Speaker 1: There are plenty of them, and I will begin to
Speaker 1: look all you look at up and I'll tell you
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Bears at Lions, Uh, the early game, Bills at
Speaker 1: Cowboys interesting, Uh, the four thirty game Eastern and the
Speaker 1: Saints at Falcons and NFC se rivalry renewed for the
Speaker 1: late game on Thanksgiving. Um, Josh Allen, They're they're only real.
Speaker 1: They don't have a primetime game there. Literally the only
Speaker 1: team the Bills, that don't have a primetime gamail year.
Speaker 1: But Thanksgiving a better spot, bigger spot. It's it's that's
Speaker 1: an interesting one to think about because it it that
Speaker 1: is the biggest day of football. It's kind of underrated,
Speaker 1: like Bears Lions last year, I think was the highest
Speaker 1: rated football game of the entire season, every which is
Speaker 1: almost a shame because it was like Chase Daniel and
Speaker 1: you know, like a seventeen to fourteen. It's part of
Speaker 1: the fabric of our country having even if it's out
Speaker 1: of the background on Thanksgiving Day, it will be playing. Now.
Speaker 1: We throw it to Mark, who's been doing research over
Speaker 1: there yet. It's very easy just type London games NFL.
Speaker 1: I have found them. Here we go. Henry's Henry's Twitter
Speaker 1: feed would have it. Well, here we go. So it is.
Speaker 1: There are four London games, the Bears at Raiders, which
Speaker 1: is Sunday, October six in Tottenham, Gregg's home home stadium,
Speaker 1: the one he loves. I believe it's Tottenham Tottenham. Well, no,
Speaker 1: you're right. Panthers first, Bears the following week, Bucks are Bengals,
Speaker 1: Rams later in October, and then the Texans and the Jaguars.
Speaker 1: And this time they're hoping to make this actually happen
Speaker 1: in Mexico City. The Chiefs first, the Chargers a Monday
Speaker 1: night game, of course, the game that got acts last
Speaker 1: year and moved back to l A because of field
Speaker 1: concerns at the Shichi. Well enough with kind of strike
Speaker 1: that this nonsense. The Bucks and Panthers are in London too,
Speaker 1: and their schedule kind of stinks for Bucks fans because
Speaker 1: the last they start with the Party Niners at home,
Speaker 1: then the Panthers on the road, and then the Giant
Speaker 1: Thursday night game. They at the first think that's their
Speaker 1: only primetime game for Kim Newton, but then after September
Speaker 1: they don't have a home game again until November, right,
Speaker 1: And that's the same thing with the Raiders where they
Speaker 1: were on the road for seven weeks straight and the
Speaker 1: Bucks one isn't just like you're on the road. They're
Speaker 1: on the road against the Rams and the Saints and
Speaker 1: then London like the two best teams from the NFC
Speaker 1: a year ago. And then you come back for a
Speaker 1: couple other tough home games in Tennessee and Seattle, like
Speaker 1: that's that's brutal. The Eagles got screwed to. They're the
Speaker 1: only team in the league that has three straight road games. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but come on there in the NCA, come on party
Speaker 1: in your in your case, you're in a five year
Speaker 1: period right now. That still doesn't work at this point,
Speaker 1: it doesn't just reset. Um, let's move on. Good schedule
Speaker 1: of stuff. Yes, check out m NFL dot com. I
Speaker 1: think they're playing up all those articles and West. Maybe
Speaker 1: it's time to sit down with Ali and just have
Speaker 1: a a monoi mono chat about where your relationships at.
Speaker 1: Apparently I didn't know it was that band, but maybe
Speaker 1: I should. And we talked about this today on NFL Network,
Speaker 1: Greg and we will talk about more things on Friday. Uh.
Speaker 1: In fact, great comebacks marks and I know comebacks or
Speaker 1: something and very important to you. Come back. Colonel's Barcessler
Speaker 1: come back, Colonels, marks about this, Let's come back with
Speaker 1: Barks Sessler, come back? Forgot about the Bartell. Come back
Speaker 1: Colonels with catchy Successler come back, Colonels with barcess come back.
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on. Tom Coughlin, the Jaguars executive
Speaker 1: vice president, said Thursday that players are absent from the
Speaker 1: begainning of phase one of offseason workouts. Quote, we're close
Speaker 1: to attendance and quite frankly, all of our players should
Speaker 1: be here. I mean, he's still doing this stuff, the
Speaker 1: old military man, Tom coffin West, you know, with the
Speaker 1: with the collective bargain agreement coming up, are we gonna
Speaker 1: do away with the forces of voluntary If you have
Speaker 1: guys going on records saying I I expect you here,
Speaker 1: stop calling it voluntary. I I agree with that in principle,
Speaker 1: in theory. But the one exception I would make is
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey and Leonard Bournette for the Jacksonville Jaguars. They
Speaker 1: had so many issues last year with commitment with the clubhouse,
Speaker 1: with teamwork, with chemistry, and Jalen Ramsey, I don't know
Speaker 1: what he's doing with his career. But well, I don't
Speaker 1: know what's going on with playing great football for the
Speaker 1: most part. Not last year they played well. I mean
Speaker 1: he was an All Pro Defensive Player of the Year
Speaker 1: type of candidate the year before, and last year he
Speaker 1: was average. Well, there's no quite that Leonard four Nette
Speaker 1: deserves to be in that spotlight. I just find that
Speaker 1: there's no other team I can really think of around
Speaker 1: the NFL where there is a non coach, non GM
Speaker 1: consistently issuing these demands. He am here's I mean like
Speaker 1: he is. He is what Mike Tannenbaum was in in Miami,
Speaker 1: although more more with like a microphone, but he's in charge.
Speaker 1: Everyone knows. Then I would say, then I would say,
Speaker 1: eliminate the ruse and remove this GM and waiting or
Speaker 1: go be the coach. At the same time, eliminate remove
Speaker 1: him from the Organization's going to have a false GM
Speaker 1: like either like just see he's he want he's in
Speaker 1: a role, but he wants to be all these other
Speaker 1: roles getting your lane. He definitely isn't buying into sort
Speaker 1: of the Belichick or Parcel's idea that there's one voice
Speaker 1: in the organization because Coughlin wants to be one of
Speaker 1: the voice. I just don't like speaking for your coach.
Speaker 1: Then obviously the which is gonna have to go answer
Speaker 1: for it too. It's like, are you on the same page.
Speaker 1: You can't Doug Maroons say that Maron's boss you. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: of course then he could say whatever. Its just it
Speaker 1: feels messy to me, but maybe it's But isn't this
Speaker 1: just like conditioning at this point? Like they can I
Speaker 1: feel like it's not that big of a deal because
Speaker 1: they can work out with their own personal trainers and
Speaker 1: then if they show up out of shape, then yeah
Speaker 1: that's a problem. Which which for it? With for net
Speaker 1: it has been right, But yeah, Coughlin's you know, gonna
Speaker 1: gonna not kin Tom Brady not only not at like
Speaker 1: the work acts, but doesn't go to the O t a.
Speaker 1: They there are plenty of But it used to be
Speaker 1: like you, like a player, didn't have access to proper
Speaker 1: conditioning techniques back in the eighties if you weren't in
Speaker 1: the right That is absolutely the opposite now, like going
Speaker 1: there is just simply a check the box, I'm enthusiastic
Speaker 1: type thing. Guys used to in the offseason, used to
Speaker 1: smoke a pack of cigarettes a day and work at
Speaker 1: the toll booth to make ends meet. Now now they're
Speaker 1: they're athletes, they're around athletes. What my issue with this
Speaker 1: is that any team that hopes to be a contender
Speaker 1: want it's best player, it's best players, it's team leaders
Speaker 1: to step up and be that guy. And Jalen Ramsey
Speaker 1: has not been that guy. He's been the opposite of
Speaker 1: that guy with Jaguars. I hear you. I just don't
Speaker 1: know because and I don't know. Maybe you're right. I
Speaker 1: just don't know if it makes any difference in terms
Speaker 1: of your leadership with the team, whether you're at weightlifting
Speaker 1: in April. You know, those toll booth jobs pay pretty good. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I almost did it. You'd be a government employee. I
Speaker 1: would imagine, Yeah, that's a job because you're getting a
Speaker 1: lot of easy past game in. I heard that's the
Speaker 1: highest suicide rting jobs. No, that's air traffic control. That's dentist.
Speaker 1: Everyone's it's dentist. I've heard dentist. Yeah, but I've also
Speaker 1: heard traffic control, traffic control, air traffic control. Market you
Speaker 1: get a google on that dentists are doing. They're doing
Speaker 1: financially well, typically, I don't know what's it. What's it?
Speaker 1: The it sounds okay, but you know I think it's
Speaker 1: a it's the same thing every day and then be
Speaker 1: the newest list. Have journalists on that. It's confronting a
Speaker 1: group of people every day who don't like being with you,
Speaker 1: that don't like that you, and you're making their lives unpleasant. Um,
Speaker 1: moving on a little. Uh, let's take a quick spin
Speaker 1: over to the throne of ease. The Patriots tweeted out
Speaker 1: a video on Wednesday. Rob Gronkowski, the retired tight end,
Speaker 1: is seen showcasing his best batting stance with the Lombardi
Speaker 1: Trophy during the Red Sox opening day last week. And
Speaker 1: he squares up for a bunt in the video and
Speaker 1: then he hits a ball a pitch from Julian Edelman
Speaker 1: and he dented the Lombardi Trophy. What a rascal. Hey,
Speaker 1: that's the best contact the Red sex of fan all year.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, strop put him in the
Speaker 1: tool hole. I am enjoying this Red Sox start. I
Speaker 1: have to say, Uh, the I have some distress. See
Speaker 1: news when you were ready, I looked at a CNN
Speaker 1: reports so we can't. Oh, it's it came from CNN.
Speaker 1: You guess you can trust it. Like the number two
Speaker 1: whole for the worst um rate for people offering themselves
Speaker 1: is arts, design, entertainment, sports and media jobs behind construction workers.
Speaker 1: I don't see dentists anywhere on this list, but it
Speaker 1: checks out. So it's almost urban legends. That's low pay,
Speaker 1: long hours, not much time off, and people don't like you.
Speaker 1: I mean, arts, design, entertainment, sports and media is also
Speaker 1: like a massive category of individuals, many of them failing
Speaker 1: at I've never met a happy designer. You're right, ever,
Speaker 1: they're very disgruntled. Um So, Gronk dented the trophy and
Speaker 1: I don't know. I I refused to watch the video
Speaker 1: or read any further on this. But if I'm the
Speaker 1: Patriots and you have six of them, leave the dent,
Speaker 1: because it's like, oh, it's how we'll remember Gronk. He
Speaker 1: was so crazy. Don't take the dent out, is what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Leave the debt. They're not going to take
Speaker 1: the den out for now. They're gonna leave it just
Speaker 1: you know, and then they might fix it in the future.
Speaker 1: He was such a wild guy. We loved him. So much.
Speaker 1: Who's that Jason mccordy. Is that you're Jason mccordy. No,
Speaker 1: he's Devon Actually. Also in Patriots news, UH, they signed
Speaker 1: to Mary's Thomas Doo a one year deal. The former
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl wide receiver coming off an achilles tear UH
Speaker 1: in his pits stop in Houston last year. So now
Speaker 1: he reunites with UH Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, who's
Speaker 1: the head coach over with the Broncos during UH Thomas's
Speaker 1: heydays thirty one, UM, Greg and like I said, coming
Speaker 1: off a very serious lower body injury, are you expecting
Speaker 1: this man to make an impact or break camp with
Speaker 1: the team? Just seems like politics trying to make you know,
Speaker 1: the degree of difficulty on this season as high as possible,
Speaker 1: just so he can prove it. I mean, I hope
Speaker 1: he does, as well as all these other former McDaniels
Speaker 1: players that he's brought in, like Greg Salas and Brandon Gibson,
Speaker 1: Stephen Jackson, please, Tim Tebow. I guess he draft. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he drafted Thomas, So that's probably the best thing he's
Speaker 1: ever done in Denver. UM. Also in UH mentioned one
Speaker 1: retired player and gron Zach Miller, another tight end, announces
Speaker 1: his retirement UM from the NFL. The Bears. Um Titan
Speaker 1: suffered that gruesome um knee dislocation tore about ton of
Speaker 1: ligaments in week eight of the two thousand seventeen season.
Speaker 1: Bears kept him on the roster. Um I guess under
Speaker 1: the hopes that he could come back, but it was
Speaker 1: too much and he's older as well, so uh, that
Speaker 1: is definitely not This is not a fun topic, nor
Speaker 1: is looking up suicide stuff. But uh, one of the
Speaker 1: worst injuries I've ever seen on a football field is
Speaker 1: that Zach Miller. I will not be watching that. I
Speaker 1: think the bright side to that was not every team
Speaker 1: operates in uniform fashion when you have players that suffered
Speaker 1: these injuries. The Bears, I think they basically knew this
Speaker 1: guy will never be the same and likely never play again,
Speaker 1: and stuck with him and continued to provide for him.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not who your team does that bottom
Speaker 1: line it was It's awesome. He won the d Block
Speaker 1: Courage Award for the team. He was around the team
Speaker 1: all year. Very popular guy. His entire career makes Tyler
Speaker 1: Effort seem lucky. Zach Miller was one of those guys,
Speaker 1: kind of a George Kittle level athlete at tight end,
Speaker 1: a former quarterback converted the tight end and showed so
Speaker 1: much potential ear in his career with the Jaguars and
Speaker 1: just got hurt every single year. Uh and finally in
Speaker 1: the news. So happy Trails, Zach Millery. Ryan Fitzpatrick was
Speaker 1: shown in a video that went viral jogging with his
Speaker 1: new team, the Dolphins, and seemed to be carrying a
Speaker 1: little extra in the carriage. It's the off season, uh,
Speaker 1: And he was because Ryan Fitzpatrick is an affable fellow
Speaker 1: that everyone likes. He's a guy that you could actually
Speaker 1: in the scrum with reporters. You could ask him about
Speaker 1: his belly and he'll give you an answer, and a
Speaker 1: funny one. Here's what the Harvard alone had to say.
Speaker 1: I would say, I'm in I'm in peak off season form.
Speaker 1: I think two weeks ago as in peak off season form.
Speaker 1: You know. The thing? The thing with me is, uh,
Speaker 1: I have seven kids. Uh. So in January we have
Speaker 1: three birthdays. So we've got, you know, a family birthday
Speaker 1: party which includes cake, and then we've got a friend's
Speaker 1: birthday party cake. So that's six times in January. I
Speaker 1: got three birthdays in March, March one, March six, March eleventh,
Speaker 1: which again that's a tough stretch. That's a cake six
Speaker 1: out of what it's at ten or eleven days and
Speaker 1: so um, then we've got an April birthday, so it
Speaker 1: doesn't slow down. But now that the birthdays are behind me,
Speaker 1: and I think I'm gonna try to go from peak
Speaker 1: off season form maybe down to peak in season four
Speaker 1: should be a kid mark. Was that you coming? You
Speaker 1: know what? I love? Whoever did that? I love that person?
Speaker 1: She didn't? Who brought the wind chimes? I know? I
Speaker 1: was saying the same thing. Hanging from a gutter with
Speaker 1: like your aunt, eating a book underneath it and drinking
Speaker 1: a big iced tea or big that's kind of reminds
Speaker 1: me of Connor or he's got that deadpan deadpan delivered. Um,
Speaker 1: that's what's happening in the news. Ah. This is from
Speaker 1: the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Hey guys, Hey, it
Speaker 1: could be a little frustrating, especially if you're in a hurry,
Speaker 1: you're running late, to find yourself at a railway crossing
Speaker 1: waiting for a train. Yes, always, and if the signals
Speaker 1: are going in the trains not even there yet. You
Speaker 1: can feel a bit tempted to try and sneak across
Speaker 1: the tracks. Well, don't ever, trains are going a lot
Speaker 1: faster than you expect them to be, and they don't
Speaker 1: and they can't stop. Even if the engineer hits the
Speaker 1: brakes the right way. It can take a train over
Speaker 1: a mile to stop. By that time, what used to
Speaker 1: be your car is just a crashed hunk of metal.
Speaker 1: And what used to be you, well, they do not
Speaker 1: think about that. The point is you can't know how
Speaker 1: quickly the train will arrive. The train can't stop even
Speaker 1: if it sees you. The result is a disaster. Or
Speaker 1: if the signals are on, the train is on its
Speaker 1: way and you just need to remember one thing. Stop,
Speaker 1: trains can't. It's a good message for us on our
Speaker 1: way down to San Diego trains, let's all throughout the town.
Speaker 1: It's down there. Earlier this week almost got run over
Speaker 1: solid p s A. All right, it's time to get
Speaker 1: into it. Let the festivities begin. You're the GM, Greg,
Speaker 1: What is your the GM tell tell our new listeners.
Speaker 1: It is a recurring segment we've done before the draft
Speaker 1: where one general manager played by any any one of
Speaker 1: us makes a call to another, uh, proposing a trade
Speaker 1: that would make some some some fun sense. It's got
Speaker 1: role plane, it's got laughter, it's sometimes got songs involved.
Speaker 1: It's fun for the whole family. Laid out beautifully, Greg,
Speaker 1: laid out so beautifully that you're going to get us going.
Speaker 1: All right, Um, I didn't even think who who am
Speaker 1: I going to call? Here? Uhshte show? Well? I mean no,
Speaker 1: I mean, like which person here? I'm a strategy to it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm Jay Gruden, Washington Redskins head coach Jake Gruden, and
Speaker 1: I'll be calling his brother John Gruden played by Colleen.
Speaker 1: All Right, no general managers involved here, but still we're
Speaker 1: having fun. Johnny here's still ringing it. It's John, John?
Speaker 1: What's going on? It's Juden, Ja, how you doing great?
Speaker 1: To talk to your brother? Well, he loves me more?
Speaker 1: You know. I think that's always been uh something that's
Speaker 1: bothered you, hasn't it. It's kind of why I walked
Speaker 1: through life feeling so comfortable. Glad I'm on the opposite coast.
Speaker 1: Let me suck that t you know, longer longer. Okaya, Oh,
Speaker 1: I forgot about Jay Gridden and the teeth sucking. Oh,
Speaker 1: he does love you. I know you're a lot going
Speaker 1: on with with Jon Gruden and the Raiders these days.
Speaker 1: There is a lot of rumors that you're trading the quarterback.
Speaker 1: I know you love Derek Carr, that you're too afraid
Speaker 1: to trade him, that you don't want to get blocked
Speaker 1: on Twitter. So I got a deal for you. I
Speaker 1: will trade you the number sixteen pick in this draft froom,
Speaker 1: our first round pick to move up to your first
Speaker 1: round pick. I will throw in Josh Norman. You guys
Speaker 1: love old veterans there and in Oakland. I will throw
Speaker 1: in next year's first round pick. And I will throw
Speaker 1: in all the secrets that Bruce Allen has on you
Speaker 1: that he's held over you your whole career. He will
Speaker 1: no longer use those anymore. Well, okay, all right, go ahead. Sorry,
Speaker 1: Well there's a lot for me to to dig into there.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what secrets brucey has on me. How
Speaker 1: do you think he's lasted in the NFL for twenty years? John,
Speaker 1: what's the deal again? Joe? The first first round pick
Speaker 1: this year, Josh Norman and next year's first to move
Speaker 1: up for us to go draft our quarterback to the
Speaker 1: number four spot. Okay, uh, well, we do have three
Speaker 1: first rounders and you are my brother, but you did
Speaker 1: remind me that Mom loves you more, so not gonna
Speaker 1: do it. You got the super Bowl Trophy just because
Speaker 1: of the mom thing. Just because of the mom thing. Listen,
Speaker 1: you've always had a cake walk through life. Jay, al Right,
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be this time. Call somebody else, like,
Speaker 1: don't open the call with like a deep human scar exactly.
Speaker 1: That's the lesson, Like, that's that is bargaining and negotiation
Speaker 1: one oh one. Don't start with like one of the
Speaker 1: like worst cheap shots you could take at somebody. By
Speaker 1: the way, the Redskins have a pick, so all right
Speaker 1: for the rest of us. So the Redskins give up
Speaker 1: to first and Josh Norman to get the number four pick.
Speaker 1: Peterson there too. But I kind of wonder why the
Speaker 1: Raiders wouldn't think longer about that. If that's how decisions
Speaker 1: are being made, that you might have Mike Mayok left
Speaker 1: out in the dark on that decision, you know, which
Speaker 1: does not seem unusual. Well, I think these are the
Speaker 1: two guys running their running their teams. I think Dwayne
Speaker 1: Haskins is like a lot of people think he's kind
Speaker 1: of a rich Man's at his best, a rich man's
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton or Kirk Cousins. I think you'd fit nicely.
Speaker 1: If you're a rich man's Andy Dalton, you are comfortably
Speaker 1: on the right side of the Dalton Dalton scale. So
Speaker 1: I think up to number four they finally have a future.
Speaker 1: If I wasn't John Gruden in this situation, and I
Speaker 1: would do it. Who's a rich Man's and Andy Dalton?
Speaker 1: I think I think kind of a thought of Dayne
Speaker 1: Hasking is kind of like a rich Man's Cousins or Dalton.
Speaker 1: Like West Coast, Yeah, well kind of that West Coast.
Speaker 1: Not not a high mind of Byron Leftwich. Yeah, we'll
Speaker 1: find out, but that great timing West Coast type of quarterback,
Speaker 1: very accurate, smart, it's it's it sucks to hear the
Speaker 1: family squabble them get the way of potential, but ill
Speaker 1: I I do think like Jay Gruden walks through life
Speaker 1: with a certain sort of confidence that you know, I
Speaker 1: think his parents loved him more than John. John's got
Speaker 1: that that John. I mean, he's one of the greatest
Speaker 1: arena players in history. Of course he's walking with that.
Speaker 1: I feel like you're working with some assumptions there. But okay,
Speaker 1: all right, I will go next. Um. I will play
Speaker 1: the role of Packers general manager Brian Guns and I
Speaker 1: will be calling Chris Westling in the role of Bengals
Speaker 1: general managers Flash owner Mike Brown. Okay, Mike here, Brian
Speaker 1: good Cat's office. Please hold, he's coming to shine your
Speaker 1: head shots. What is this chatter? Wooling? Brian good Brian
Speaker 1: Good cuts here? What's up this? Mike? This is Mike.
Speaker 1: Don't you have any Tommy Dorsey some big band music?
Speaker 1: What's going on with that? We're very proud of our
Speaker 1: heritage here in Green Bay and um my parents raised
Speaker 1: me to be a good German boy. So if you
Speaker 1: have an issue with the whole music, maybe we don't
Speaker 1: need to be on the phone right now. You called
Speaker 1: me son. How old you? By the way, Mike three
Speaker 1: going on at all? Right? Mike, I you know we
Speaker 1: don't usually do business. In fact, I'm new to this
Speaker 1: job still, I don't do business with anyone. I don't
Speaker 1: know if we've ever spoken before. Frankly, I don't know
Speaker 1: how I got your number. I don't even know you
Speaker 1: had a phone, but all that, yeah, all these things,
Speaker 1: um set aside. I want to do business with you,
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you why. Let's be honest. You are
Speaker 1: not going anywhere with the current roster you have. And
Speaker 1: that's not to say you're never gonna go anywhere. UM,
Speaker 1: you just need who do you think you all are?
Speaker 1: I am Brian, I am goody respect goody um. I am.
Speaker 1: My team is a win now outfit right now. Okay,
Speaker 1: I thought you were six and nine, Yes, but that's
Speaker 1: the past. I believe with Aaron Rodgers and a new
Speaker 1: coaching staff, we are ready to get back into contention
Speaker 1: in the NFC, which means I believe I want to
Speaker 1: add parts, and I think I need to add parts
Speaker 1: to get over the hump. Now. I look at your roster, Mike,
Speaker 1: and I see, uh, you're in the middle of nowhere.
Speaker 1: You're a man without a country right now. And that's
Speaker 1: why I want to take a certain superstar wide receiver
Speaker 1: off your hands. A man on the wrong side of
Speaker 1: thirty and with a wide receiver, UM that has maybe
Speaker 1: two peak years left and I know he wants to
Speaker 1: get paid and all that. Are you gonna be winning
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl? In the next two or three years.
Speaker 1: I don't think so with a J. Green on my roster,
Speaker 1: I might. I just might. Well we'll see my point.
Speaker 1: I need a quarterback or can win a playoff game
Speaker 1: eating more assets. And I need a number one receiver
Speaker 1: or a number two receiver to pair with Davante Adams.
Speaker 1: So this is what I'm gonna offer you. Get ready
Speaker 1: and respect me. I'm GUTTI actually, can you hold on
Speaker 1: one second? Fresh? Your luck? That fell more? Mike Crown
Speaker 1: an instun It feels like a circus from hell. All right,
Speaker 1: I'm back, Sorry, How to get my paperwork? All right?
Speaker 1: Here we go. I am willing to give you my
Speaker 1: first pick, uh next week. That's twelve overall and the
Speaker 1: third overall. And Mike, I don't know if you know,
Speaker 1: but the second and third round picks are very valuable.
Speaker 1: Come here and sit on my knee and I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what's valuable in exchange for a J. Green and
Speaker 1: to four and that's the one ten. Oh you want
Speaker 1: you don't You not only want my best player? You
Speaker 1: want me to kick in another draft pick to follow
Speaker 1: your response, We we don't do business like that. What
Speaker 1: do you mean come with a better offer. You're you
Speaker 1: want the best player on my team. You want me
Speaker 1: to forfeit contention. You called me a man without a country.
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to give up my team and you want
Speaker 1: me to also throw in a draft pick on top
Speaker 1: of that. Interference needed to be change. We needed to
Speaker 1: have a look at it to fix it. We couldn't
Speaker 1: have it happen again. What happened in the Superdome. Bad
Speaker 1: job by you, voting You and everyone else will rue
Speaker 1: the day you pass that law. You, sir, are classless.
Speaker 1: But let's not end this phone call on a bad note.
Speaker 1: I mean, I take that back. I apologize, Mike didn't
Speaker 1: need to happen. The first sign of respect you've shown
Speaker 1: me in the ten minutes we've bet on the horn together.
Speaker 1: All right, Champ, how about you chimp a good fight?
Speaker 1: What if I take What if I take that four
Speaker 1: off the board? Oh? Take the four off the board?
Speaker 1: My first and third phrae. J. Green. I'm gonna need
Speaker 1: more than that. I think about it, because some of
Speaker 1: what you say is true. Am I really gonna win
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl with a J. Green in his prime
Speaker 1: in the next couple of years? Okay? But you're asking
Speaker 1: me to give up a lot. I'm gonna need the
Speaker 1: number twelve, the number seventy, and two thousand twenty third
Speaker 1: round pick on top of it. M hmm, Fredy J. Green,
Speaker 1: Fredy J. Green? Can you throwing a fifth? No, I'm
Speaker 1: not throwing in anything. I'm throwing in the best player
Speaker 1: on my team. And I'm throwing the towel on my
Speaker 1: Super Bowl aspirations. Oh please, Mike, you're in fantasyland. Hey,
Speaker 1: I want to win a title. Marvin Lewis said it
Speaker 1: a few years ago. You I'm trying to win a
Speaker 1: title before Mike Brown broa. You just employed Marvin Lewis
Speaker 1: for eighteen years. You're telling me you trying to win
Speaker 1: a title. Best coach ever? Hey? And have you ever
Speaker 1: seen David Shulau cosin? You know what, Mike, I respect
Speaker 1: the hell out of you. Do you know it doesn't
Speaker 1: come out that way. I respect you so much. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take you on that offer. A first, a third,
Speaker 1: and a third in two thousand and twenty. And now
Speaker 1: I got Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams, and A J. Green
Speaker 1: at Lambeau. Let's fly. Thank you for doing business a
Speaker 1: little contentious, but business got done. Hey, those are you
Speaker 1: know what, when you're talking about guys in these high
Speaker 1: position is a power. There's a lot of ego involved
Speaker 1: and that's what we saw. But they're also business men
Speaker 1: and we did business. I like it a good time
Speaker 1: to be a Bengals fan. Who, by the way, how
Speaker 1: what would be the fan reaction to that? People would
Speaker 1: love it for the Packers and say the Bengals got headwinked?
Speaker 1: Do you think so? The first and two thirds? But
Speaker 1: I mean what a realistic Bengals fan have to take
Speaker 1: Goodie's point of view to some degree that what were
Speaker 1: you going with A J Green and Andy Dalton over
Speaker 1: the next two or three years? Almost as much as
Speaker 1: O'Dell got and he's in his prime and a better player.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I trust what Mike Brown to
Speaker 1: do anything with those picks that's going to change the
Speaker 1: team further. That's the other issue thing, Mike Brown's making
Speaker 1: picks anymore. I think you can you know, you can
Speaker 1: make how many picks have they made in the last
Speaker 1: ten twenty years? How many year close to as good
Speaker 1: as Aja Green? Colleen, You're up all right? Here we go.
Speaker 1: I am going to be Bruce Allen, and I'm calling
Speaker 1: Steve come who will be played by Mark Seessler. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, say it again. It is sorry, Bruce Allen
Speaker 1: calling Steve kim the kime Bomb here, Hey, Kim Bomb,
Speaker 1: dizzy baby, Listen, listen. I want Josh. We know you're
Speaker 1: taking Kyler. I feel like the jig is up, my man.
Speaker 1: I have not uh, you know, this whole media Maelstrom,
Speaker 1: the idea that we're giving up Josh Rosen. I don't
Speaker 1: know where it's coming from. We are very committed to
Speaker 1: him as a player, and we're still looking at other
Speaker 1: players as well, Bruce, So you're not open for business
Speaker 1: for Josh. Didn't say that either, But I just don't
Speaker 1: like the presumption of you rolling in within the first
Speaker 1: fifteen seconds of the call trying to, you know, push
Speaker 1: me around left and right. Steve Kinbomb does not get
Speaker 1: moved off his seat. He's wady. Listen. I'd like to
Speaker 1: get this done before I crushed this breakfast burrito. So
Speaker 1: let's figure this out. What's it gonna take to get Gosh.
Speaker 1: I mean, Josh is a first round quarterback that we
Speaker 1: still view with that level of you know, he based
Speaker 1: on his potential. I don't think that we'd even give
Speaker 1: him away for what we got him last year. I
Speaker 1: want a first round pick. Plus, this is a quarterback
Speaker 1: with excessive, excessive future potential. Well that's where kind bomb
Speaker 1: is starting. There's no sense in pussy footing around here.
Speaker 1: We'll send you our alight, We'll send you the f
Speaker 1: and then uh maybe uh not a second? What about
Speaker 1: a third? Third? And year? What year is the third
Speaker 1: occurring in next year? How about this? You throw in
Speaker 1: a fifth next year as well, and we could be
Speaker 1: talking some business. I think, uh, I think this could happen. Listen,
Speaker 1: me and the wife were coming out to Sedona in June.
Speaker 1: We'd like to take you guys out too as well.
Speaker 1: We'll throw that in to the dinner in there as well.
Speaker 1: I think the d off the table. I am taking
Speaker 1: the deal. I am taking the deal. This is going
Speaker 1: to put come Bomb back in very high standing with
Speaker 1: the organization from top to bottom. It's needed. Josh Rosen,
Speaker 1: he's a redskin. Thank you, baby. I think I got
Speaker 1: quite a good deal. Who yeah, I think Bruce Sound's
Speaker 1: gonna get fired. Yeah, I got fleaed and like he
Speaker 1: just started throwing in extra picks after the first round
Speaker 1: pick just for fun. You should have kept going see
Speaker 1: if you can get another first on it. Like, I
Speaker 1: was very happy with the hall as they would say.
Speaker 1: So you got a first and a fifth and a
Speaker 1: third and dinner and fold. The Redskins value just went
Speaker 1: up from a year ago significantly. I love it. And
Speaker 1: you know Jake Ruden does not know about it because
Speaker 1: he operates obviously in his own channels. So yeah, listen,
Speaker 1: we're desperate for a quarterback. By the way, you can
Speaker 1: break character now. But my hands in my pocket. There's
Speaker 1: like the streets talking that they may be lucky to
Speaker 1: get a three. Yeah, did anybody talk to Bruce before
Speaker 1: this phone call? There's a reason. I think there's a
Speaker 1: reason why Bruce Allen is going to be ranked I
Speaker 1: think dead last on my GM rankings. Which do you
Speaker 1: think they will get a first rounder? I don't know.
Speaker 1: Everything we're hearing is that there's just not enough interest
Speaker 1: in him and there's no market. I think they'd be
Speaker 1: happy at this point to get like a mid second
Speaker 1: or whatever that that would be. I think it'll I
Speaker 1: think it will be actually a second or a third.
Speaker 1: Lece you hold on to him till someone I think
Speaker 1: it's good. It's well, you do have a potential quarterback solution.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know about it. Just gave
Speaker 1: up a first no, I mean, oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: alright interesting. I mean if it works for the Redskins
Speaker 1: and he plays eight good years, no one's gonna care.
Speaker 1: We're on fire. By the way, I don't think we
Speaker 1: had two deals consummated in the first two years that
Speaker 1: we've done this, so we are two for three right now, West,
Speaker 1: You're up and yeah, my, you know, the first Gruden
Speaker 1: deal is the best deal on the table. Give me
Speaker 1: a break. Well, that got soiled by some family stuff
Speaker 1: that was beyond ud called Bruce Allen, not that went
Speaker 1: far back and actually had a Bruce Allen one. But
Speaker 1: I've got a backup, Okay. I am Bill Belichick and
Speaker 1: Greg is Bucks general manager Jason Light. They're like, I
Speaker 1: heard that man speak. Take it anywhere you want, you know,
Speaker 1: really become the character, give voice to it. He's a
Speaker 1: masculine man man. Bruce Allen. Yeah, it's Jason Light. Here
Speaker 1: are slappy, it's your aw boss doom. I'm broken, Mr Belichick.
Speaker 1: Congrats on all that arm twisting you had to do
Speaker 1: to get Bruce Harrians out of retirement. Arms twisted. What
Speaker 1: a great guy, fox, old guy follow him anywhere unless
Speaker 1: I was a tight end, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's just it's just a pleasure to hear this. The
Speaker 1: funny Belichick everyone talks about behind the scenes. Oh you
Speaker 1: know your new coach isn't gonna use O. J. Howard.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about him. This guy famously said, you know,
Speaker 1: I got no use for fullbacks. You see what he
Speaker 1: did with tight ends in Arizona. I need a replacement
Speaker 1: for Gronk. Let's let's get this O. J. Howard deal done. Uh,
Speaker 1: second round pick, so grumpy, second round pick this year,
Speaker 1: third round pick. I got a couple extra of each
Speaker 1: of them. Let's do it second of the third for O. J. Howard.
Speaker 1: So so, so, what's the offer? Bill? One? One second,
Speaker 1: second and a third this year for O. J. Howard.
Speaker 1: You've already gotten the two cheap years out of him.
Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta start paying him soon. We'll take
Speaker 1: him off your hands. I need a gronk. Wow, Bill,
Speaker 1: your picks are at the end of the round ound.
Speaker 1: You got those compensatory picks. You got six picks in
Speaker 1: the first three rounds. O. J. Howard is a first
Speaker 1: round pick, and he's played like a first round pick.
Speaker 1: I want, I want your first round pick and your
Speaker 1: third round pick. And let's be honest, why are you
Speaker 1: even trying anymore? You've accomplished everything. Look, I get it,
Speaker 1: you drafted him. He's yours, you know, just like Ronald
Speaker 1: Jones and Aguaya. He's stuck to your name forever. I
Speaker 1: get it. But what's it gonna look like when your
Speaker 1: head coach won't even use your first round draft pick.
Speaker 1: He's a tight end? Come on, first round pick plays.
Speaker 1: This is gonna pass out. I love this. So you're
Speaker 1: insulting me now, I mean that that's gotta get a good,
Speaker 1: better deal. I taught you everything you know except using
Speaker 1: a second round pick on a kick or light. Oh. J.
Speaker 1: Howard's one of the best first round picks we made.
Speaker 1: It's gonna cost the first to come back. But if
Speaker 1: you if, I'll make it a first and a fourth
Speaker 1: and I'll do a deal with a little consideration of
Speaker 1: pink pony. If you know what I'm saying. Hey, like
Speaker 1: you're like man Ginie, You're dead to me. Now, don't
Speaker 1: ever talk to me again. There's a pattern now that
Speaker 1: any deal involving Greg does not get consummated, it ends
Speaker 1: in an angry way. Yeah, I thought that was a
Speaker 1: fair offer. O. J. Howard would be very upset if
Speaker 1: the Patriots gott O. J. Howard, who's an excellent young
Speaker 1: tight end. I hear you. Yeah, I don't want him
Speaker 1: going anywhere near in New England if he was like
Speaker 1: going into his second year and not his third. Maybe
Speaker 1: the first round pick, but you're not getting really any
Speaker 1: You're only getting what one or two more cheap years
Speaker 1: out of him before you got to pay him. I
Speaker 1: don't know, and that's not worth it first at all
Speaker 1: pro talent though, you know, beyond just the money. First
Speaker 1: round pick four years old. I mean, he was a
Speaker 1: first round pick and he's great, right, but you've already
Speaker 1: got most of the value out of him by you
Speaker 1: having those cheap years. I mean, you got him on
Speaker 1: there in your building, you got him under contract three
Speaker 1: years for then you know next for like ten million dollars.
Speaker 1: Just give that pretty amazing. Maybe there was some middle
Speaker 1: grounds making less. He's making less money over the next
Speaker 1: three years than Jesse James is place. I mean the
Speaker 1: lines now, I was hoping it just didn't happen because
Speaker 1: it started to get ugly. But just the first for Howard,
Speaker 1: straight up, I would have been curious who would say
Speaker 1: no in that scenario. That's a good question. I guess
Speaker 1: we'll never know. Face That's the way the game works.
Speaker 1: You're the GM lost moments. We just got breaking news.
Speaker 1: Bruce Allen's been fired. So he's been let Go is
Speaker 1: going to have it. So sorry to Bruce and his family,
Speaker 1: but that's what happens. You're the GM, and sometimes on
Speaker 1: the phone, careers changed in an instant. Mark Ceciler, you're
Speaker 1: up alright. This one is from Jets payroll assistant Hal
Speaker 1: Borrowitz to pat It's coach Bill Belichick played by Dan
Speaker 1: I Am who Bill Belichick A channels? What what Hi? Bill?
Speaker 1: It's haw Borrowitz, remember me, former Patriots ball boy? Come on,
Speaker 1: I'm still living in that dingy apartment you put me
Speaker 1: up in, Yonkers Bill at thirty five Pine Street, right
Speaker 1: by the raceway. It's a nice, nice spot. That dog
Speaker 1: you and Jonathan Kraft sent me Gorgo. Gorgo is alive
Speaker 1: and well, but I must say it's expensive to feed him. Bill.
Speaker 1: Gorgo only eats raw slabs of meat very expensive, and
Speaker 1: I have to go to this underground butcher shop that's
Speaker 1: only open at night. Gorgo makes me uneasy. Bill. Even
Speaker 1: when I drive to work the six eight miles from
Speaker 1: thirty five Pine Street and Yonkers to Flora Park, I
Speaker 1: can still hear Gorgo talking to me. Gorgo has been
Speaker 1: telling me to call you, Bill, to call you up
Speaker 1: on the phone. What's happening about Sam? I and in
Speaker 1: Mike Max's office like you asked me to be to
Speaker 1: hold on, I got hey, hang on, I gotta to
Speaker 1: hear this out. It's late, Bill. Mike Mack left at
Speaker 1: four pm like he always does. I am pressed for time. Bill.
Speaker 1: Gorgo is hungry, meaning I need to drive the six
Speaker 1: miles home to feed Gorgo at thirty five Pine Street.
Speaker 1: He is ravenous. But first Bill, I must do what
Speaker 1: Gorgo says. Gorgo is always talking, his barking, his incessant
Speaker 1: noise becomes words in my head. Gives Sam to Bill.
Speaker 1: I hear gives Sam to Bill. Gorgo says, all night, Lorden.
Speaker 1: Gorgo talks to me. Yonkers is evil, Bill? Why did
Speaker 1: you and Jonathan Crafts send me this animal? Why I'm
Speaker 1: at Mike Max PC Ready to make the move. The
Speaker 1: terms are as followed, per Gorgo, we will send Sam
Speaker 1: Donald to Foxborough on a Greyhound bus on May one
Speaker 1: in rot Earned, New England, will give the Jets fourth
Speaker 1: round pick and linebacker Kyle van Noy. You will also
Speaker 1: send my friends back to me, safe and sound at
Speaker 1: thirty five Pine Street, like you and Jonathan Kraft promised.
Speaker 1: John R. Stromsky and Jim McNally. My fellow ball boys
Speaker 1: who have been silenced. Gorgo is asking for them, and
Speaker 1: Gorgo says, the false allegations against Sam soon to rain
Speaker 1: down in the newspapers will make the Sam persona non
Speaker 1: grata in New York. Nobody will question the trade. Gorgo says,
Speaker 1: are you listening, Bill? Yes? Go on, I'm done. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: So you're gonna give me Sam Donald in exchange for
Speaker 1: the backup linebacker and a fourth round pick and our
Speaker 1: ball boys. And the boys they're dead. No they're not.
Speaker 1: We buried them alive under the mass Pike is so dark.
Speaker 1: No they're not. Um, I'm not gonna do it. What
Speaker 1: I can't do it. I can't hurt Tom Brady's feelings.
Speaker 1: Tom would be very mad at me. You can't do it.
Speaker 1: He's got another five years in amazing. How do you
Speaker 1: keep me in this position? How do you say no
Speaker 1: to this? This was my mission. I'm really worried. You're
Speaker 1: gonna come find me, Linda, get the police on the phone.
Speaker 1: I think Tags needs protections. Gorgo will find you, Linda.
Speaker 1: Let's get out of here. I need to know more
Speaker 1: about what's going on at thirty Pine Street. Really blew
Speaker 1: up in Gorgo's face that he called. He called Belichick
Speaker 1: almost acting like a Jets fan, Jets fans interest. He
Speaker 1: just doesn't. He thinks he got a lot of he's
Speaker 1: got a lot more Brady Um years in him. You know,
Speaker 1: it's just not a smart move. Respect that Kyle van
Speaker 1: Noy's name backup linebacker might have been the best play?
Speaker 1: Are they add in the Super Bowl? There on detend Well,
Speaker 1: that's what he said. I didn't say it. Don't believe
Speaker 1: Gorga only eats from a butcher's shop that's open in
Speaker 1: the middle of the night and mccagnet leaves at four
Speaker 1: o'clock in the afternoon every day. I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: believe that at all. I think that man is a
Speaker 1: grinder twenty two hours a day at least. I've actually
Speaker 1: heard the stories that he just like he spends all
Speaker 1: day and there's like a thousand coffee cups uh in
Speaker 1: his office. He's just there at all times. We have
Speaker 1: a dog saying otherwise, Yeah, that's true. We should really
Speaker 1: do Yeah, you're the GM more often every show. Perhaps
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, in the build up to the draft,
Speaker 1: think of all the possibility, think of a world where
Speaker 1: like Mike mccagnet answers the fun. But then Charlie Castly
Speaker 1: crashes in and I did have one with that. Chris
Speaker 1: Career was gonna call, right Fitzpatrick checking on some things. Alright, alright,
Speaker 1: why not Mark, you'll be Ryan Fitzpatrick. Ryan here, Hey, right,
Speaker 1: what's up? It's Chris Chris who Career, General Manager, Miami Dolphins. Chris,
Speaker 1: how are you? Yeah? Good to hear from you. What
Speaker 1: I was wondering if you wouldn't mind just for a minute,
Speaker 1: jumping into the fish tank with me and talking a
Speaker 1: little bit off of football. Let's do it. So I
Speaker 1: saw them. I saw the workout videos of you doing
Speaker 1: your running uh workouts and working you know, when you
Speaker 1: signed someone like me like the I have been working.
Speaker 1: And I saw the the little scrum interview you did. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's just to throw the media off. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: k's gonna throw a couple of things out there for
Speaker 1: you in a minute. Fasting, that's the thing people learned
Speaker 1: too these days. That's too. I don't doo, I don't operate.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm an old school quarterback. I didn't do fat.
Speaker 1: It's I do the fitsy diet, paleolithic diet. That's an option. Alright, Well,
Speaker 1: I'm listening to you, but no, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: be Atkins low sodium. These are all low sodium is
Speaker 1: part of the regiment. Just say, like, I just want
Speaker 1: to be clear that you're aware that you're literally are
Speaker 1: our starting quarterback. I mean, for now, that's true, but
Speaker 1: you know it's there's months to go, months to go.
Speaker 1: I mean, I you know, I look at my body
Speaker 1: as a temple, and right now a lot of people
Speaker 1: in the temple, a lot going on in the temple.
Speaker 1: But it's just my way, just the simple check in
Speaker 1: and say hi to the wife and on the kids.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's a reminder you're that you're literally starting quarterback.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna add you into my phone. I'm sorry, I
Speaker 1: had no idea who you are, and I appreciate the
Speaker 1: dieting advice from you, but uh, you know, Fizzy, it's
Speaker 1: gonna do it as some way, all right, just lay
Speaker 1: off the cake, right. Maybe it's apparently on the radar
Speaker 1: of the front office in Miami. Interesting, Wait, I thought
Speaker 1: that you. Chris Greer signed him specifically explicitly to lose
Speaker 1: the tames and get the best pick possible. He's in
Speaker 1: great shape for that. Yeah, that's true, but that's a
Speaker 1: popular misconception. Greer is thinking Lombardi and people aren't aware
Speaker 1: of that. It's all Michael Lombardi. He's thinking about Michael
Speaker 1: Lombardi at all times. I mean I I especially like
Speaker 1: the line from Fitzpatrick, which I don't know if he
Speaker 1: was borrowed from like an adult movie, that my body
Speaker 1: is a temple and there's a lot of people outside it,
Speaker 1: right a fief he man. Um. All right, there you go,
Speaker 1: you're the GM good stuff unstable. Um. All right, we
Speaker 1: said it before. A lot coming up next week, so
Speaker 1: check it out. We also have our final Twitter show
Speaker 1: before it goes on some type of hiatus, so we're

Speaker 1: be on stage with IRV for nights one and two.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I love Nashville. I've ever been there
Speaker 1: until last year. I always feel like in the draft,
Speaker 1: Connie goes all out and you always have a look
Speaker 1: that is totally foreign to how I typically see you
Speaker 1: last year. The the hair is different, you dress different.
Speaker 1: What do we have coming? You've made a lot of news,
Speaker 1: You've had a lot of social viral Like the draft

Speaker 1: I decide? So? Yeah, never mind, I know where you're
Speaker 1: gonna go with that. It's fine. Uh. If you need
Speaker 1: any other reason why to check out NFL network coverage
Speaker 1: of the draft, Connie Fox will be central component as
Speaker 1: a giant sequence, a giant better than being Bruce Allen.
