Senior NFL reporter, lead content strategist at the MMQB, a
man you can find on x at Albert Brier and
(01:31):
a man who, no doubt about.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
It, was bathing.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
In I can't even say it all sorts of buckeye apparel.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
We'll put it that way.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
In watching a mechg Buka and Jackson Smith and Jigba
put on a show in Seattle last week, AB, good morning.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
Shut up, Brian Hartline. Right like that that was that
was something else. It was like, I the crazy thing
is neither of those guys or really ever the number
one receiver at Ohio State. But there they were both
number one receivers in the NFL.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
Damn right, yeah, damn right.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
So Aby, I got to ask you something else you're
familiar with, and it's not it's college related, but you've
been around and covered him for a long time. Just
the mess that's going on with Bill Belichick at North Carolina,
the different reports he's on his way out within two weeks.
People aren't happy there, and then they've released a joint
statement last night from people you've talked to around the
(02:34):
NFL or even in college circles. Was there any expectation
that it was going to be this bad with Belichick?
Speaker 5 (02:44):
No, I mean I don't think. I don't think ay
thought would be that b like this, you know, I mean,
like this really does feel like Irban Myer and Jacksonville,
you know, like and I I you know, I think
there was a feeling that maybe it wouldn't work, and
there were some moves where you said, okay, like I'm
(03:05):
not sure exactly what they're thinking with that one. And
then there was like, you know, I think the normal
like who does this guy think he is with some
of the you know, with the with and I think
like maybe more Michael Lombardi, like the way that they
were talking, you know, about their program. But I don't
know that anybody thought it would be the abcent disaster
(03:27):
that that that that it's been to this point, you know,
I like, I think there was a feeling that, you know,
at the end of the day, regardless of how weird
some of this stuff looks, you know, both on the
field and off the field, like that he would be
able to coach his way out of it to at
least a level where they would look decent on the field.
(03:48):
And that hasn't been the case obviously, And so yeah,
I think a huge reason why it is like a
lot of the infrastructure he had New England, you know,
and guys like Nobody's you know, a lot of people
out there haven't heard of Ernie as Bears, Gerian guys
that were really you know, a huge part of like
the operation there and making sure the train was on
(04:08):
the track so Bill could do what he's really good
at at the highest level. A lot of that isn't there,
you know, in North Carolina, a lot of those people
aren't there. And his network isn't what it was ten
or twenty years ago, just as far as filling out
his staff and son of the guys suddenly forgot how
to coach football. But clearly like the operation that he's
(04:28):
set up isn't isn't even close to what he had
even five or ten years ago in New England.
Speaker 7 (04:35):
So what happens next?
Speaker 8 (04:36):
I mean, let's say either at end of this year
they agree to go their separate ways. Does he does
he find a landing spot somewhere else in the NFL?
Or is it probably more TV?
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (04:47):
I think it sort of depends on on what he's
willing to do, and you know how badly he wants
to stay in coaching, Brady, I I don't think anybody
can hire him as a head coach right now.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
I'd be surprised anyway, it only takes one you know,
that can happen. But I'd be surprised if you got
hired as a head coach by any NFL team in
twenty twenty six. So you know, then it's all right, well,
are you willing to be an assistant? Will you be
a defensive coordinator? Could you be a senior defensive assistant?
You know, maybe you'd be you know, a front office,
(05:26):
you know, executives somebody is there is there something you're
willing to do where you aren't necessarily in charge? And
I don't know, you know what I mean, Like, I
don't know what the answer to that is. So you know,
I think whether you know or not, he winds up
in you know, in coaching or the media. Next year
we'll really ride on how badly he wants to get
(05:46):
back into coaching, because I think the ship has sailed
on some sort of perfect situation, you know, presenting yourself
for him in the NFL. But if he does want
to go coach somewhere, if he does want to go,
you know, help out on his staff, you know. Obviously,
I think any coach, I think a lot of coach
in the NFL would think he could bring great value,
(06:08):
you know, in a certain role. And so you know,
are you willing to do that? If you're him, are
you willing to subjugate your ego and be going to
go go and be an assistant somewhere? If you are,
then you know, I could see I can see there
being an opportunity for him, but I don't think it'll
happen as head coach.
Speaker 10 (06:23):
From one head coach to another. Jonathan Gan and he
was fined by the team a hundred thousand dollars, Like
what do we know the the justification for it? I
mean I get that it was I mean, listen, coaching
conduct and player conduct and all those things. I get
(06:45):
it that that there's a premium that's placed on it,
but was this worth one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
I don't know. I mean I was able to do
a little, a little digging on this. It's funny because
I think, you know, like we're all sort of a
different era, you know.
Speaker 10 (07:05):
Yeah, and we had that conversation. I mean, you can
speak freely. I mean, guys got hit back coaches like
they got dog cuts out. The language here from a
coach is crazy to the way they communicate with players.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Sometime I didn't.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
I didn't. I didn't play at the level you guys did.
But I sure got my face mask crabbed when I
was a kid, and you can't do that anymore, you
know what I mean. Like, So, you know, I think
it's I think you're right, like two LeVar, part of
it is generational. Here's I thought this was an interesting nuance,
all right, because I was doing my podcast yesterday and
I was sort of wondering about this. So I sound
(07:40):
some texts and I got an answer. Johnathangannon showed the
team the Ady Mitchell play from the week before. The
Colts play in a team meeting last week, and I.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
Told you, Brady said that he did it.
Speaker 8 (07:58):
I said, that's why he was probably so emotional about it,
because it's like.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
A parent freaking showed you this.
Speaker 8 (08:04):
Yeah, right, but it's it's it's like a parent, you
just told your kids that, and then another one goes
into the same exact thing.
Speaker 7 (08:10):
You're like, what do you understand about this? Like that
is what makes you I.
Speaker 8 (08:14):
Rate as a parent, as a head coach, probably as
an employer, like it doesn't matter.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
Like that's where I.
Speaker 8 (08:20):
Could understand it because I was like, I guarantee every
head coach in the NFL showed their team that club
of Ady Mitchell, right.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Right, So that's exactly what it was. So I was
funny because I said that on my podcast, right. So
we were we were on there yesterday, me and Connor
Orr and I said, you know what I bet this is.
I'm like, the one thing that would make make me
understand this is if he just showed it to him.
And I was like, wow, we're while we're recording. I
just said, you know, I'm going to find out right now.
And so sure enough, somebody somebody there responded to me
(08:53):
one thousand percent. We showed it to him lastly, so
and apparently this is a sort of thing that like
I guess that coaching staff has harped him with the guys, like,
you know, so that's exactly what it was and like
that and to me, like that part of it makes
it understandable. And I think you're right, like Brady, you
can relate it to being a parent, right, like if
(09:14):
you just told your kid to do something and then
he goes out with his buddies and does it that night,
Like how much more angry are you going to be?
Then if it just happened in a vacuum, you know
what I mean, You're going to be pissed. So I
think that that was sort of the emotion that that
that's what brought the emotion to the table there. And
I know, and I know Gannon felt you know, terrible
(09:35):
about you know, putting his hands on the guy. But
I also think there's a level of like we just
went over this, you know, and I think that definitely
brings some context that situation. And look part of it too,
I think this is, you know, this is an underrated
piece of it, and I think it relates to a
lot of different like things in the game. Just the
fact that we have cameras everywhere, we see things that
(09:57):
we didn't see twenty and thirty years ago, you know
what I mean. So there's stuff that happens on the
sidelines where where tempers flair, and you know, just because
of you know, the technology involved, the fact that we,
like everybody in the stadium has a camera in their pocket.
You know, we just see way more than we used
to see. And you know, sometimes in a in a
(10:20):
violent game, there are some things that happened that there.
You know, people probably don't you know, aren't ready to
to to reconize, you know. So I don't know, I
tend to think it's not the biggest deal in the world.
But you know, when you.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
When you when you lose the way, Uh yeah, I
mean it feels like, how's that justifiable?
Speaker 5 (10:41):
Man? Like that? It feels very excessive to me. I
would agree with you on that, like and I just
and I also think like it's I mean, look, man,
like you want my personal opinion on it, guys, Yes, yes,
we need to we need to stop calling everything assault,
all right, Like this isn't assault. The guy's wearing pads,
(11:01):
he bumped them, and the he like, he like, just
you know, kid him in the It's not the same
as winding up and hitting someone, you know what I mean. Like,
and it's just like I think, like sometimes we get
so overly sensitive about these things. It was an emotional situation.
It was diffused. Afterwards, the coach felt, pad, I don't
think we need to punish this, but I mean the
(11:22):
problem is is that, like you know, everybody's got a
camera in their pockets, so we see more stuff and
then be everybody's got like this forum on social media
to have an opinion on it, and so public, you know,
like this public sentiment that people who don't understand what's
actually happening down there, public sentiment gets you know, spun
out of control, and then you know, some team executive
feels like they have to do something about it to
(11:45):
calm the water.
Speaker 7 (11:48):
It's weak. Yeah, they're weak. Yeah, a bunch of idiots
on social media.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
I would tend to it. I would tend to agree
with you. I would tend to.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Have made it today's era.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
Probably, Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
I don't know what he would have I don't know
what he's way he would have have worked, But I
think that would go for a lot of guys.
Speaker 10 (12:08):
I mean that would be I mean, was a face
mask grabber, huh, Coop Coop was a face mask grabber.
Speaker 7 (12:16):
Joe Paul was a face mask grabber.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
Joe Paul was a face mask grabber. I mean, we
all like the coordinator.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
I can't imagine.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
I can't imagine.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
I can't imagine anybody who plays football at any level
in the nineteen nineties did not have their face mask
grabbed by a coach.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
At one point, right, yeah, or slacked or your helmet slap.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
What about the if they've got the long, the keys,
the key chain.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
I had my whistle, coached the whistle.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
I had my coach. I had my coach once tell
me I'm the dumbest smart kid he's ever met.
Speaker 7 (12:48):
So dude, Charlie used to tell me that like every week.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
The Browns, we talked about it earlier. Where are they at?
Speaker 8 (13:01):
I mean, it feels like they're making moves but getting
rid of flack When I get it, he wants a
chance to play. If he's going to be doing this, Bengals,
give him a chance. He wasn't gonna get that in Cleveland.
He's not there to babysit. The cornerback moves is Stefanski
film the heat is Andrew Berry fill in the heat.
Speaker 7 (13:18):
Where are we at?
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Yeah, I mean I think, well, I think this is
very clearly a retooling here for them, and they don't
want to call it that, but it would have probably
helped him if somebody could just say it to me,
like that's the Travis Hunter deal, you know what I mean?
Like trading out of the second overall pick was like
one player isn't gonna fix where we're at. Like we've
(13:41):
kind of that core that we built, you know that
that made the playoffs twice is aged out to some degree.
He still have some pieces left. Even though these guys,
gots that Garrett Ward are getting older, Buttonio, those guys
are all getting older. And because we you know, we
forked over three first round picks for Deshaun and we
don't have young talent coming up on our roster. So
(14:03):
now's the time for us to start to get younger
in as many places as we possibly can. So you know,
you you you trade for Tyxon Campbell, who is under
you know who's who's who's under contract for the next
few years. You go with the rookie quarterback and like,
I think you look at their draft class this year guys,
and I I just you know, if we can put
(14:24):
the shotores thing aside for a second, Like I you know,
I think Mason Graham and Carson Schwessinger and Quinn Shawn
Judkins and Harold Finn and Dylan Sampson, like they they
hit on a bunch of guys. And if that's two
first round picks next year, So I think that's that's
really the the context. The whole thing is like you're
moving off with Joe Flacko because Joe wasn't going to
(14:46):
play anymore this year for you, right, And like a
lot of the things that you're doing now are centered
on how do we get younger? How do we invest
in our young guys? And you know that's sort of
where they are now going forward, is you know, like
how like, yes, we want to try to maximize what
we have with with Miles Garrett and Denzel Ward and
(15:07):
those guys. But like, because we've got this thing kind
of we we we we've run it, we've run the
course with the with the core that we have, we
have to get a lot younger and that's happening. And
I don't think they're a quarterback for twenty twenty six
is on the roster right now. But they're going to
get a look at Dylan Gabriel and see where that goes.
(15:27):
And I wouldn't be shocked if at some point we
see de Sean Watson out there, you know just what
we might, Yeah, we might. I think that that cec
LeVar and I keep this is not a shot at Shador.
I think that'll depend on where she door is, right,
Like that will depend on developmentally, like and I think
(15:48):
he's worked hard, you know, but like that will depend
on developmentally, like where he is and if he's ready
for that, and you know, like at the end of
the summer, he wasn't ready to play to start an
NFL game, and like, so he's got to personally get there.
If he gets there, then I think, yes, they will
want to go look at him by the end of
(16:09):
the year. But that's up to him, you know, And
so we'll see whether or not he makes it there.
Speaker 10 (16:14):
Abe, I got one last quick one for you. Purty
still isn't practicing. Mac Jones is gaining momental and popularity.
How does this all play out. I mean, obviously the
contract is the contract for Party. I guess it's simple
and easy to say he's going to get it when
he comes back. But you got to believe brock Purdy
(16:36):
will be under the gun when he gets back, based
upon if mac Jones can continue to play out the
level he's playing Rock.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
Party to the quarterback there, you know, and like he's
played really well the last couple of years. I don't know,
like he necessarily has gotten the credit for playing as
well as he has, you know, I know, yeah, I mean,
like when you consider the circumstances, Brady Man, I.
Speaker 8 (17:02):
Think I get that, but like at some point, you know,
you always have to consider the circumstances, right, Like no
one like no one really like cares about in the end, right,
I mean I.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
Think that last year, all right, no Christian McCaffrey debo
was out of shape, like Brandon, I you cares of
a c L. I mean, they just they.
Speaker 8 (17:26):
It sounds like a lot of normal football teams that
deal with injuries.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Albert, did you just fat shame Deebo? Samuel? You can't
do that in today's culture.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
I know, I gotta be, I gotta be.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
I gotta be careful about what what I say in Washington.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
I mean, you guys are big. You guys are big
whistleblowers and that stuff, right, especially meaming for certain I
see what you're saying, Brady like like that, like you know,
when you get paid that way, that you need to
be able to you need to be able to let
people up around you. And that's definitely part of the equation.
(18:00):
Mac has played well. I think Mac has a chance
to become another one of these stories like a Daniel
Jones or a Sam Darnold or a Baker Mayfield. And
I think Baker's probably taken it to another level now
where Baker actually, I mean, Baker's playing like one of
the five or six Bess quarterbacks in all football now,
you know. But I think that that's sort of where
he's at. And you know, like that this has been
(18:22):
a great opportunity for Mac to, you know, to to
to show the rest of football like that that that
that that that he can still play, you know, and ultimately,
I you know, I think it's going to be brock
Party's team, but you know, it does definitely does put
a put a little like heat on him, even if
it's not coming internally, like you know that you got
(18:43):
to keep playing at playing at a very high level.
And it does highlight I think the advantage that Kyle
Shanahan gave his quarterbacks like that, even when like and
it's not perfect for Mac now either. By the way,
there's no i Uk out there. You know, Ricky Piersoll,
he's heard you know, quick kittles out of the lineup,
so it's it's definitely not perfect for Mac either. You know,
(19:07):
I think it does put that like little like subtle
pressure on on on Brock where it's where it's like
Kyle Free is a great situation for you know, his
quarterbacks almost regardless of who that quarterback is, so you
better take advantage of it.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Uh Alberbrea with us year on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Before we get your thoughts on the big Game this weekend,
did want to commend you on the exclusive details you
gathered on the broadcasting switch in Indianapolis.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Uh, A lot of it.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
I don't know where you I don't know who your
sources on that, but it felt like some accurate reporting
by you on UH on Brady, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
That was a tough one to dig into. I Uh,
I was, I was particularly proud on the the sprinter
band detail. I thought that was a good one. I
know you guys enjoyed that too.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
It was good.
Speaker 7 (19:53):
I mean it helped, that's for sure, riding in styles riding.
So I feel like it was like the Madmobile. I
was just watching film the entire time. It was great.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
Is that like the do you have that out? Like
you know Philip Rivers had one of those when he
was like Communitian from San Diego to La.
Speaker 8 (20:09):
Like, yeah, it was it was like plush, like a
two seater. I got too many kids. I know he
has a bunch too, but he had his, like so
it was set up so you just lay there and
with all that, I've got a bunch of like pilot
seats and a couple of benches and all that so
I could.
Speaker 7 (20:23):
Take the kids and family everywhere. It looked like it
was just for football.
Speaker 6 (20:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
His had like his had like it was like almost
like a theater in there felt like watch Yeah.
Speaker 8 (20:33):
Yeah, I mean I've got to series in there so
I can watch tape. But it's not it's it's not
like build up like a theater. No, it's more like
it's the real purpose for it was like for our
family and our kids soccer tournaments.
Speaker 7 (20:44):
Everything else, lacrosse and all that. So that was more
of the uh, got the rationale and buy it.
Speaker 8 (20:49):
Just it just so happened that I've been able to
drive to a lot of games and it's helped. And
then obviously in this case, like it really helped being
able to sit and have someone else drive while you
can watch film for three hours at a pop and
really kind of digest some things.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
So work with your limits for like like, all right,
so how far before you before you're getting on a plane.
Then are you like are you going to Champagne this weekend?
In it?
Speaker 8 (21:13):
Yes, I will every so basically anything that's like what
I look at is if I was to fly to Champagne,
it would take me six hours between driving to the
airport waiting the flight, yeah, you know, to taking either
a car or then taking a commuting flight in.
Speaker 7 (21:31):
So it makes sense to drive because you'll be able
to beat that.
Speaker 8 (21:33):
So as long as driving beats flying, I'll drive every
time because I can work more during that time.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
That makes sense. That's like taking the train in the
Northeast and basically exactly exactly, yeah, okay, And by the way,
you just mentioned how many kids you have.
Speaker 7 (21:49):
I know he's got more, but I don't think they
could fit in the one I saw.
Speaker 10 (21:52):
He's the daddy.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
No no, no, no no no no no no. But but
I'm just saying, like, and then you like almost dismissed
how many Philips has, Like you do not have Philip
beating that department Like that's right, no.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
No, but I don't.
Speaker 8 (22:02):
But but what I'm saying is his van didn't look
like it was outfit for his family. It looked like
it was just me.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
I actually did a story in that van, and like
that was like a it was it was a football. Yeah,
it was like a It was like a legitimate film
room in that band because it was like a he
was going two hours like every day commuting from San
Diego to Orange County.
Speaker 7 (22:23):
Yeah, I remember that. I remember that.
Speaker 8 (22:24):
That's what I'm saying, Like it like this was not
the intent for the purpose of the van, like I'm
not scared of flying or something like that. It just
worked out this way with how some of the trips
and how our travels been.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
For Big Noon, okay, abe speaking a Big Noon, it's
about that time.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
Do you know.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
That at the end of the festivities in Champagne this Saturday,
that the Ohio State Buck guys, your Ohio State Buck
guys will have beaten the fighting Ali and I by
more than fourteen points.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
Well you're not good, are you, Albert, because otherwise you'd
beat the mush. I'll be a little scared about this.
I'm not what I said. You're not going to it,
are you?
Speaker 5 (23:04):
I thought I thought, I I thought I I thought
I shed the label of being the mush because of.
Speaker 7 (23:09):
Oh, just because you went to the National Championship game.
Speaker 8 (23:12):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 9 (23:12):
No, I.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
Was in Texas. I'm on two game winning streak.
Speaker 7 (23:19):
Now, yeah, you were at Texas. That's right, you were
at Texas. I remember that. Yeah, sorry, I forgot. That's
all done.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
I think we cover lots of stut for Brett BioMA
in the program at Illinois. But I would say this
is let's go thirty one to ten. Does that sound good? Oh?
Speaker 7 (23:37):
Okay, that's a cover. That's a cover.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
All right, Let's go thirty one and ten.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
All right, So there we go. That's the Yeah.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
I'm not going to say anything last time. By the way,
I picked in this game.
Speaker 8 (23:46):
Got a lot of flak from Illinois fans because I
picked a cover by by USC.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
But oh well, all right, so there he is Albert Breer,
senior NFL reporter.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
Your yeah, m yeah. Let me just make this announcement too,
the state of Indiana.
Speaker 8 (24:05):
Take some of your damn tax money and put it
into your infrastructure on your roads. Okay, it is like
riding horseback across the entire state of Indiana.
Speaker 7 (24:14):
All right, put some damn money in your roads, Indiana.
It's awful. You literally know.
Speaker 8 (24:21):
As soon as you leave the state of Ohio and
as soon as you enter Indiana, it is like riding horseback.
Speaker 7 (24:28):
Awful.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
There's not a lot left when they're trying to they
spend it off protecting grease truck drivers.
Speaker 11 (24:34):
Sous, right, isn't that where Jesus is well, not in
that part seventy west or seventy I should say when
you're going through.
Speaker 8 (24:47):
And oh my goodness, and every truck driver out there
is driver right now knows it too, because.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
I was actually thinking about it. I was actually I
was actually thinking about those roads when when Flacco got traded,
because I guess they sent a driver. He didn't fly
from from even Cincinnati, which makes sense. That makes sense too,
because I don't think they're directed right right, right, But
that also meant he probably drove by the Hell is
Real sign, which I believe is seventy one night and
Combus and Cincinnati.
Speaker 8 (25:11):
Right, that is correct, You got that right? The hell
is Real sign is there. There's some other landmarks on
seventy one. We'll not talk about that though.

Speaker 7 (29:14):
They've been long enough.
Speaker 8 (29:15):
You're the worst when it comes to change and stuff.
You're like, nope, I wanted to be just how it

Speaker 6 (30:07):
No, all right, but we'll get to it.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
You got man, what are we talking about? I know,
whatever you pick, it's going to be hot.
Speaker 10 (30:16):
Yeah, definitely will be hot, like yeah, spicy hot, like
the spicy hotness of Louisiana hot sauce.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
That's right.
Speaker 10 (30:27):
Hey, listen, man, you could put that on your your burgers.
You could put it on your nachos. You could even
put it on clam chowder. I don't get it, but
Jonas likes to do it and whatever food. No, well,
any anyone you like putting your hot sauce on You know,
(30:49):
it could be a burger, it doesn't matter. You hit
a tailgate, you hit that food with that bold, handcrafted
flavor of the original Louisiana Hot Sauce.
Speaker 6 (30:57):
All right, that's Louisiana Hot.
Speaker 10 (30:59):
Make sure yea bye you some Oh yeah yeah. So
Baker by that my next intro song.
Speaker 7 (31:06):
Yeah, I like that. You do a good job with that.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Baker Mayfield's having himself a year. And he talked yesterday
about the narratives changing, about his his fired up personality,
his temperament on the football field. Let's take a listen.
Speaker 14 (31:24):
I sold you guys, try and not get too high,
not get too low, which is something that I was
not doing early on in my career. But you know,
early on in my career, Yeah, it's looked as cocky, immature.
Now it's moxie. He's a dog's same different days. Just
as long as you play well, they change the narrative.
But you just got to be yourself. And I've always
been like that.
Speaker 6 (31:43):
All right.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
So we've got movement on Baker Mayfield in the MVP conversation.
So yesterday he was sitting at eight to one behind
Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. Here you go on DraftKings.
Speaker 7 (31:56):
Now that is amazing, by the way.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
Now he's go ahead, well, now he's plus six fifty.
Speaker 8 (32:03):
I would put Baker and Dak. Honestly, up there is
two of the favorites agreed. Where's where's Dak after Baker?
Speaker 4 (32:11):
Dak's thirty to one.
Speaker 7 (32:13):
That's amazing, playing really well. I mean I.
Speaker 8 (32:17):
Again, Baker A Baker. I feel like he's playing as
good as anyone in the league right now.
Speaker 6 (32:24):
He is, He's playing well, He's playing well.
Speaker 10 (32:28):
You know, it's interesting his take because he's so right.
He is so right. It's so easy to pick on
guys and scrutinize guys that are in very tough situations,
you know, that come from such a high you know,
(32:49):
a high ranking, a high rating from from college.
Speaker 7 (32:53):
Personal.
Speaker 10 (32:55):
No all not no, I wasn't personal, no, no, wasn't
hit towards personal. I just I can recall how people
talked about Baker Mayfield even while he was in college.
It was like he was the next Johnny Manzil, Right,
he was being compared to Johnny Manziel in terms of
(33:15):
him being so white enerjet.
Speaker 6 (33:18):
Well that too, I guess, damn stupid I.
Speaker 8 (33:21):
Would say this though, that always was so inaccurate to me,
Like there was nothing in Baker's game that resembled Johnny.
There really wasn't like if you watch the film, he
didn't play like Johnny. He even even the way he
conducted himself, like were there's some moments of cockiness. That
the whole Lawrence Kansas thing grabbing the crotch, there's some
(33:45):
instances of stuff, but it was he was all about
ball though, like let's be real about it, Like he
was all about ball, and Johnny was like it was
everything else too.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
So I never understood that, but that's why he got.
He got that. He got that.
Speaker 10 (34:02):
Whatever it was, whether it was the wave, whether it
was the blowback, whatever it was, Baker Mayfield was compared
to Johnny Manziel in terms of being brash and you know,
being outgoing and all those different things, and that.
Speaker 6 (34:15):
It followed them to the league.
Speaker 10 (34:17):
It follows you, man, Stuff like that follows you, and
it's very difficult to ever clear your name or because
it becomes like your brand. It becomes a part of
who you are, whether you like it or not. And
it's great to see that Baker Mayfield has gotten an
opportunity to actually play himself out of More often than not,
(34:42):
players cannot get out of of the webbing of what's
created based upon what the public perception is whether it's
misconception or whether it's accurate doesn't even matter, because it's
just what it is. And before you know it, that
person's out of the league, out of the league, and
that's how their story is written. But he has done
(35:05):
an excellent job of becoming the player. Well, I won't
even say he's done an excellent job because like you said,
he's always been a fine football player. He's always been
a good ball player, and it probably was premature to
let him go if you're Cleveland. I mean, who knows
where Cleveland's at right now with the roster they have
(35:26):
if they had just kept Baker Mayfield. But we do
know that he's having a positive impact on the Tampa
Bay Buccaneers, and that should be stated.
Speaker 4 (35:35):
I mean, he had to bounce around.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
This is fourth team, guys, the number one pick, it's
his fourth team and he had to take over for
Tom Brady in Tampa and has been top five quarterback
in the NFL over the past couple of years.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
I mean, you can make the argument, and he.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
Just seems like they whatever, whatever he is, he's perfect
for that team. Like that team loves that guy, and
it's kind of cool to see. And we talked about
a little bit last week that you've got Baker Mayfield
and Sam Darnold facing off, and these are two guys
that were competing for the starting job in Carolina and
(36:19):
they're two of the best cornerbacks in the conference.
Speaker 7 (36:22):
By the way, Baker's always been loved. That was one
of the things.
Speaker 8 (36:26):
Remember when John Dorrisy and the Browns drafted Baker number
one overall.
Speaker 7 (36:29):
John Dorsey told a story about.
Speaker 8 (36:31):
How he's like, yeah, he's like the pied piper, Like
he walked into the oklahom indoor and he's did this
whistle and everyone just kind of knew to go go.
Speaker 7 (36:39):
They're supposed to be.
Speaker 8 (36:40):
You know, they have all the receivers, tight ends, running backs,
they all like went River.
Speaker 7 (36:44):
They're supposed to be. He's like, it's always been that way.
Speaker 8 (36:48):
Talk to the guys who play with them in Cleveland,
talk to guys who've been on other teams with them,
Like he's always been a very likable, you know player.
It's just being in the right situation and circumstances. And
I think what you just mention though about taking over
for Tom, it's you know, a ton didn't have as
much equity built up with the Tampa.
Speaker 7 (37:08):
Bay you know fan base like he did in New England.
Speaker 8 (37:10):
But he did bring up a Super Bowl, and you know,
you think about just for filling in those shoes and
trying to do it in your own way. It's so
hard to do. It's hard for coaches to do that,
like Calyn Deboor right now in Alabama trying to fill
in for a legend, Nick Saban's and it's almost impossible.
I think the thing that I appreciate the most about
Baker and hearing.
Speaker 7 (37:30):
His comments and what he just said, is he's never
once deviated from who he is.
Speaker 8 (37:36):
He's just like, I'm gonna do it like how I
know how to do it, and I'm gonna keep working
at it and eventually it's gonna work.
Speaker 7 (37:44):
And it has.
Speaker 8 (37:45):
Like if you look at his career, he was the
Big twelve freshman player of the Year.
Speaker 7 (37:49):
When he's at Texas Tech, he transfers to Oklahoma. He
ends up and winning a Heisman there.
Speaker 8 (37:54):
You know, goes over as a number one overall pick,
takes the Browns into the playoffs. They beat Pittsburgh in
the playoffs. It's as far as you know they've been
in recent history. You know, then it's kind of some
soul searching from there. But you look at what he's
doing now with the Bucks. I mean, if you give
it time, like he'll figure it out, he'll do it,
and he's gonna do it his way. And I think
I think that though in Tampa, what he's done is
(38:16):
it was a much more difficult task than people realize
how hard it is to try to go in there
and replace someone who's a first ballot maybe the greatest ever.
I think many people would say in Tom Brady. So
I'm not happy for man. He's uh, he's fun to watch.
I mean, that's that's the other thing, like the fiery nests.
If there's one common denominator between Tom and Min Baker,
(38:40):
the firing neus they both have.
Speaker 7 (38:41):
It's been pretty freaking awesome.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
Yeah, it's a good story. Good for him, and uh,
kind of shut the highlights the fact that you know,
you get drafted to do a bag of crap. Then
you know, some careers just never the same after that.
Speaker 8 (38:56):
Yeah, but that also depends, speaking of depends depending on the

Speaker 4 (41:17):
Oh boy, sweet lord?
Speaker 15 (41:21):
All right, guys, case, come on, all right, So we
got NBA guys. So in case you missed it, Jannisante
Tokumpo has been in a lot of trade rumors, you know,
just for the past literally ever last couple of years.
Speaker 7 (41:36):
So this one's new where.
Speaker 15 (41:38):
Well, he's saying that I'm locked into the team right
now for the Milwaukee Bucks. But he did say he
revealed that his mind could in fact change. He's gonna
give them six or seven months, and he feels if
the team is not hitting that direction by that point
in time, he may start looking elsewhere.
Speaker 8 (41:57):
So what would we call this like the Springs sweet PEPs,
the Spring.
Speaker 7 (42:03):
Sweepsnow, I just.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
It's always something like there's just always something like nobody
nobody's ever happy in the NBA. They're always away about
the next move. What's the next move? What's what are
they going to do? Is with the salary contracts.
Speaker 4 (42:21):
I'm just come on, man, they got all the leverage,
you know.
Speaker 6 (42:27):
I don't know. I don't know what six months means.
Speaker 10 (42:29):
I just know that Milwaukee is they they go, they go. Well,
you got the Brewers, they had their they had their
opportunity and they had their moment in time.
Speaker 7 (42:42):
You have the Packers.
Speaker 6 (42:43):
Yeah, I mean they.
Speaker 10 (42:45):
I'm just saying for the Bucks, they they were able
to bring a championship there. And Jan has had a
great run of being the m v P in the
league and has established himself as as a Max contract guy.
So he's done everything he needs to do. But Milwaukee
they not. That's that's a rap on them being a
(43:06):
competitor of contender.
Speaker 6 (43:07):
It's a rap.
Speaker 4 (43:09):
All right.
Speaker 6 (43:09):
We got one more here for you, guys.
Speaker 4 (43:11):
So we're gonna stay in the NBA. So All Star
Game do we have to?
Speaker 7 (43:16):
I guess.
Speaker 15 (43:17):
So, in case you missed it, guys, the NBA will
still not move the All Star.
Speaker 4 (43:22):
Game out of l A.
Speaker 15 (43:24):
Uh, you know, with the whole because it's going to
be in the Clippers Stadium, not the Lakers side, but
with the whole Clipper investigation going on, they're not moving
the All Star Game out of l A.
Speaker 7 (43:33):
They're going to keep it there still.
Speaker 8 (43:34):
Yeah wait wait wait, so they're dividing up for the
All Star Game the side of that arena.
Speaker 15 (43:39):
No, no, no, I'm saying the Clippers Stadium, the new
the new Clippers into it.
Speaker 6 (43:45):
It does.
Speaker 10 (43:45):
It's better than Crypto from what I hear. I mean,
it's supposed to be the problem.
Speaker 4 (43:50):
Real nice.
Speaker 3 (43:51):
I'm not a big fan of the You walk in
and there's facial recognition when you walk into a like
a mini mart inside the stadium, and you.
Speaker 7 (43:58):
Don't know why don't you like that.
Speaker 4 (43:59):
It's just it's very invasive what.
Speaker 6 (44:01):

databases when you came to the Earth trying to hide vampire.
Speaker 4 (44:10):
