(01:34):

extra large flushable dude, wife, extra lord, because wetter just

the one Albert Brier, senior NFL reporter, come on with
that tall lead content strategist at the m m QB.
You can get him on X Albert at Albert Brier
Aby Good morning.
Speaker 7 (02:18):
That was a graphic read right there.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Yeah, man, we like them on this show, very very detailed. Yeah,
oh we got going on. You feel about pants down? Ab?
I mean yeah, I mean, I mean, Albert, what's that?
Speaker 8 (02:35):
It depends on what kind of party it is.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Indeed, that's why you're my guy, Ab, That's why you're
my guy.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
But we were we good with was that twisted sister?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Was that?
Speaker 6 (02:47):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Quite right? Yeah, that's quite right. Come on, we did
that on the show. You do know that? Yeah, I know,
just making sure that that's we're set on that.
Speaker 9 (02:56):
Oh all right, our can I check things off by
asking you what your thoughts were after Terry Pokula spoke,
because I felt like Kean Coleman can't be feeling good
right now, and also how could the next head coach
not feel like he has to win a Super Bowl
if the coach you just fired you in essence said
(03:20):
you hit a playoff wall.
Speaker 7 (03:22):
Yeah, I mean my my first my first thought, Brady
was the guy.
Speaker 8 (03:26):
I mean, the guy is.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Still on the team. What are you doing? You know
what I mean?
Speaker 7 (03:30):
Like so, like I that was that was pretty jarring,
Like if you're a player hearing you having to hear that,
Oh yeah, like these other guys they the champion for
you and and and took up your cause before the draft.
Speaker 8 (03:47):
They're gone now.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
And uh so like that that piece of it was
was eye opening a course.
Speaker 8 (03:53):
And I think this is also why, like you.
Speaker 7 (03:55):
Know, a lot of people who work for these teams
don't want their owners speaking public because they don't have
anybody answer for it, and they can shoot from the
hip in a way that other people can't, and a
lot of times.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
The people that are working for them.
Speaker 8 (04:08):
Wind up holding the bag. And I think that's sort of.
Speaker 7 (04:12):
You know, the the long and short of of where
all of this landed everyone, you know, you know, coming
out of the press conference. I it's it's it's an
interesting dynamic there now because I think for the last
nine years we have all felt, and rightfully so on
the outside, that this was one of the most buttoned up,
(04:33):
well run organizations in all football. They've done such a
nice job of changing the face that organization and you know,
obviously finding a quarterback, but also like in a lot
of ways, like building a consistent winner and one that
was very level and and and didn't like you know,
didn't didn't panic in the face of X, Y or
(04:53):
Z happening. And it's almost like that all like did
a U turn, you know, in an hour during that
press conference.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
You know.
Speaker 7 (05:01):
I as far as far as your second question, Brady,
which was you know, what was the next coach going
to feel? I think that's sort of going to be
there anyway, right like when you fire a coach after
making the playoffs in eight to nine years, after winning
five division titles, after getting the two conference title games,
and in a year in which like you won a
playoff game, right, and you know, the loss came on
(05:24):
the road against the number one seed. Whoever replaces that
guy is going to be under a tremendous amount of pressure,
especially when you've got a talent like Josh Allen on hand.
So I think that the pressure, based on the circumstances
of Sean McDermott's.
Speaker 8 (05:40):
Firing were always was always going to be there.
Speaker 7 (05:44):
But yeah, I mean, like the tone and that press conference,
you can definitely feel a little bit of the tension
that you felt after the game when when Josh Allen
had the emotional reaction that he did, and of course
Sean McDermott, you know, said the things that he did
about the officiating ABE.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
So then the plan moving forward for them is what
you've got day Ball which has been reported and rumored
out there, Joe Brady, which has been reported and rumored
out there, is are we looking at what's going to
be an offensive coach to try and maximize Josh Allen
moving forward?
Speaker 7 (06:20):
Yeah, Well, clearly they're looking first in house, right, So
Joe Brady's in house, Brian dave Ball was in house,
Anthony Lynn was in house, So they're looking at a
few people that they have experience and background with first
and you know, I think they're gonna probably take their
(06:41):
time here, and it wouldn't surprise me, guys if they quietly.
Speaker 8 (06:44):
Take a swing on someone. Now I don't know who
that is, but you know, look like you've got.
Speaker 7 (06:50):
What I think is a unique talent at the quarterback position.
And the word unique gets thrown around too often, but
this guy is truly unique talent. The quarterback position going
to turn thirty years old, So if you're doing this
again in three or four or five years, the circumstances
might not be the same as they are now.
Speaker 8 (07:07):
It's just a golden.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
Opportunity where you know, you got a chance for someone
to come in and compete for a championship right away.
And so like, who do you want to give that
opportunity too? Is it going to be an experienced coach?
Is it going to be a first time coach? Because
whoever comes into that job is going.
Speaker 8 (07:25):
To have to handle the pressure that you just reference, right.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Like, so you know, a two or three game losing streaking.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
Year one is going to be digested differently there than
it would be in almost any other opening, maybe save
for Baltimore. Right, So, like I think it's incumbent on
them to take swings and I and I and I
don't think you'd hear about any of these swings unless
they connected on one of them. But why not, I
don't know, call Minnesota, you know, and say, like, would
(07:54):
Kevin O'Connell be available for any price? Like I think
they should be doing things like that, because again, and
they've got this golden opportunity that's not going to come
around again, and they've got to get this one right.
You know, there's so much on the lines for that franchise.
So if it's me in that seat and I'm Terry Pagola,
I'm doing the interviews that you're doing now you know,
(08:15):
of course you're going through all that, but in the background,
I'm trying to take swings to see if I can get.
Speaker 8 (08:21):
Some sort of some sort of big name in there
to try to go in a Super Bowl with Aybe.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
It's interesting hearing the commentary on Buffalo. You have two
very very storied franchises and Baltimore isn't even in reality
that old of a franchise obviously, but has established a
gold standard and how they're ran that's got to be
I don't know debatable the number one opportunity out there.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
But then there's the Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Steelers, there's the Cleveland Browns, the AFC North pretty much
outside of the bank, and then there's a couple more
out there. I mean you obviously the the Raiders and
the Cardinals, but I mean when you're looking at this
amount of vacancies and availability, like, what what are the
(09:15):
conversations because again, these are super super respected in the
two the Ravens and the Steelers, there's gotta be a
on these organizations to get.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
It right at this point.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
How is that?
Speaker 1 (09:32):
What are the conversations surrounding who the possible candidates would be?
Speaker 5 (09:36):
For those in particular.
Speaker 7 (09:39):
I think Baltimore and Pittsburgh are a little different than
Buffalo personally, Like I think Baltimore and Pittsburgh are I mean,
their success has transcended one player, one coach, you know,
So like I think if you're Baltimore and Pittsburgh, you've
got a little bit more leeway than Buffalo does to
(09:59):
take a long term view of this right and just say, okay,
like let's look at what guy us here in the
first place, which you know, for for both those franchises,
has been you know, when they're in these spots, running
a real process and going.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Through all of your options.
Speaker 7 (10:14):
And you know, I think if you look at the
last hire in Baltimore, certainly the last couple of HighRes
in Pittsburgh that wound up being huge successes, they were
kind of names that weren't on everybody who's weren't at
the top of everybody's board, right, So Mike Tomlin, Bill Cower,
you know, and and and John Harvard became legends in
(10:35):
those places. But like that's not how they were seen
before they got those jobs.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
And so teams coach right harv.
Speaker 7 (10:45):
Right, right, So like I think I think for for
those teams, you sort of lean back on what you've done,
what you've always done, and you're not working on anybody
else's timeline, you know. Like obviously, like the the the
Giants were like very very aggressive and going and hiring
(11:06):
John Harbaugh Falcon.
Speaker 8 (11:08):
Same thing with Kevins Fank, even earlier.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
This week with Solid Halfley going to Tennessee in Miami.
Those teams like hustled to get those guys hired, so
those guys wouldn't take their second.
Speaker 8 (11:19):
Interviews in other places. You know, I don't.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
Think Baltimore or Pittsburgh have to operate that way, you know,
because you see what their history is, how attractive those
jobs are, the prestige of those franchises, the success that
they've had, gives them the leeway to wait and take
their time and go find the guy, you know. And
so I view Pittsburgh and Baltimore sort of separate than
the rest, just because you know, they've shown an ability
(11:46):
and an aptitude to find the right guy in the past.
And I think you if you're a fan of either
of those teams, you can trust that your ownership's got,
you know, good instincts and a good chance to get
it right, even if it isn't some guy who's going
to grab headlines on day one.
Speaker 9 (12:02):
Yeah, and then Super Bowls in this millennium, right like,
I think we view those franchises a bit different. I
want to ask you about a couple of player situations.
Jonas made some wild accusations throughout some theories on Joe Mixon,
What the hell happened there? And then Brendan Aiyuk like
another guy who got paid and then all of a
(12:25):
sudden kind of disappeared.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
What is going on those two deals?
Speaker 2 (12:29):
So like the mixing thing is weird and I have
to do it.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
To be quite honest, you some more digging to get
to the bottom of it. But I mean, obviously Nick
said what he said. Nick Seio the tea him there
said what he said, you know, which was.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
That I think he said it was as.
Speaker 8 (12:45):
Weird a situation or.
Speaker 7 (12:47):
Something like that from an injury standpoint.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
But did you hear the have you read this? Sorry interrupt,
but have you read this? I saw there was a
report that said there's a rumor out that he that
Joe Mixon.
Speaker 9 (12:57):
Shot himself, which Jonas wants to be true for some reason.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
I don't know why.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
I don't want to be just saying that's something that
I why do you keep bringing it up?
Speaker 5 (13:06):
Because you referenced it and it's a new audience. I
want them to know.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah, it's like a plexicoverer situations.
Speaker 8 (13:12):
Yeah, I don't know about that.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
I don't know about that.
Speaker 7 (13:16):
I mean with Ayuk, I think as much as anything else,
it was that contract situation got contentious and the Niners
have been down that road in the past with Nick
Bosa and Deebo Samuel, and they had kind of come
out of a bunch of those where they were able to,
you know, repair the relationship in the back end and
(13:37):
let bygones be bygones. And I think, you know, they
got caught in one finally where some of the back
and forth they'll will whatever you want to call it
during the summer twenty four lingered, and it was just
abundantly clear like they they expected him back, guys in
like week nine, like when I was there, you know,
(13:58):
over the summer, and then talking to those guys early
in the season, it's like, yeah, it'd be somewhere week nine,
week ten, we're gonna have him back.
Speaker 8 (14:05):
And so.
Speaker 7 (14:07):
For him not to come back and for things to
get as bad as they did, and we all saw
the video. That thing went south in a hurry, and
you know, I'm sure, well, I know there's a lot
of regret that they didn't take the offers that they
had from you know, teams like Pittsburgh and New England
while the contract situation was going out going going on
that summer.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Let me let me ask you about we uh we
we had the conversation about gms and coaches and who
brings in who and who comes in first, and the
connection of it and you know, obviously hearing Terry Pegoula
jump out there and defend his GM. We just had
the conversations about Harball and him answering directly to ownership
(14:52):
and not through the GM, Like what's that? What are
industry wise? What are those conversations looking like right now?
Like there'd be a new GM that comes in with
a new head coach and a new hey coach, bring
in a new like how how how does all of
that work?
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Abe?
Speaker 7 (15:11):
I would say, like generally, so like these things like
are the best way.
Speaker 8 (15:17):
To put this?
Speaker 7 (15:19):
I would say, like all thirty two teams are a
little different.
Speaker 8 (15:23):
And I did a big.
Speaker 7 (15:23):
Project on this, probably thirteen years ago when I was
an NFL network and I remember like my, my, my,
one of my producers slash editors like said to me,
like I would love to know how each of these
franchises work.
Speaker 8 (15:35):
And I and I remember.
Speaker 7 (15:36):
I'm thinking, like okay, like there's gonna be like four
or five different models, and you're gonna be able.
Speaker 8 (15:40):
To put everybody in one bucket or the other.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
And what I figured out is like that they're all
sort of a little bit different from the next one.
They can fit into maybe families but there are like
distinct differences from one place to.
Speaker 8 (15:53):
The next and almost every case.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
And you know, so, you know, I've had coaches tell
me like, well, if you look at the Dynasties, which
is right, If you look at the dynasties, they all
were established with powerful coaches, right, like a lot of them.
Oh right, Like so Bill Walsh was powerful and.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
I thought, yeah, I knew some immediately, but all.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Right, right, right, but news But but there are cases.
Speaker 8 (16:16):
Like that too, you know what I mean.
Speaker 7 (16:17):
But if you look at the team of the eighties,
Bill Walsh had a had had heavy influence in personnel
team in the nineties Cowboys, Jimmy Johnson, and then with
Belichick from you know, in the in the in the
two thousands and then the twenty tens, you know.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
So Andy Reid.
Speaker 7 (16:34):
Yeah, I mean, like so there's there's different ways to
do it.
Speaker 8 (16:37):
And I don't know if there's one that you.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
Look at and say like, yeah, that's the model. You know,
I think, as much as anything else, it sort of.
Speaker 8 (16:45):
Depends on the people and the aptitude of the people
that you have in charge.
Speaker 7 (16:49):
Like you know, in Philly, it's really worked with Howie Roseman,
you know, pushing the buttons. Like you said, for all
those years of Baltimore, you know, Ozzie Newsom was in
charge and that work. It worked in New England with
Belichick having having his finger on the trigger in Kansas
City the last you know, the last what is it,
thirteen years, it's been a little split. Like Andy doesn't
have it doesn't want like the same amount of personnel
(17:12):
control that he had in Philly, and that's really worn
owner and he likes the.
Speaker 8 (17:16):
Way that that works.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
And so you know, after they let go of Sean.
Speaker 8 (17:20):
It's like, okay, like how are we going to set
this up? Well, for all of those years it.
Speaker 7 (17:24):
Had been Sean McDermott and Brandon being both reporting.
Speaker 8 (17:26):
To the owner, and the owner is.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
Part of letting Sean McDermott go made the decision, Okay,
I would rather just have one person reporting to me
and then having the coach report.
Speaker 8 (17:37):
To the president of football ops.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
And again, like here's the thing, like if you're like
looking for a head coach who has options or who
has leverage, do you.
Speaker 8 (17:47):
Have to go back on that? They may have to
you know what I mean?
Speaker 7 (17:49):
Like, because there's that part.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
Of it too, that's minimizing your coach, isn't it right?
Speaker 7 (17:56):
And that's the whole thing. Like, for me, that'd be
the bigger question. If you want this different model, fine,
I think the optice of giving a guy a new
title when you know you just fired your coach aren't
great when those two guys were supposed to be, like,
you know, in lockstep as partners. But on top of that, like,
I also think like going to that model now, like,
(18:18):
does that make a coach who might be otherwise really
interested because Josh Allen is there, because you've got a
pretty good roster that you can work with. Does that
coach now look at it and say, well, I would
definitely be interested.
Speaker 8 (18:31):
In that job.
Speaker 7 (18:32):
But do I want to be answering to a general
manager where the coach just got fired?
Speaker 8 (18:36):
I think that's a fair question.
Speaker 6 (18:39):
Abe, it's been fun. Let's do it again next week.
Do you have a quickly a couple of picks on
the games this weekend?
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I think I would go Patriots.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
I want to say Seahawks, Patriots, Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Maybe have you guys made your picks yet?
Speaker 10 (18:59):
No?
Speaker 5 (18:59):
Wait until.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Okay, okay, well good luck with that you guys.
Speaker 7 (19:07):
Oh yeah, absolutely, I heard I heard a couple of
the I heard a couple of media hotels are in
the tender Line, which is not an interesting area.
Speaker 8 (19:17):
So I don't know, I'm do you don't know about
the tender Line.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
No, I don't know what that means.
Speaker 8 (19:24):
Yeah, you guys know about the Jonas.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
You guys John's here.
Speaker 8 (19:28):
You're from California, right, you know what the tender one is.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
Yeah, well there's two different Californias. There's there and then
there's here, and it's.
Speaker 7 (19:33):
Okay, all right, So the Tenderline is like I mean,
I just think of it from like Brady, you know,
do you know do you know Boston at all?
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Like I can't use it, like okay, So.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
Imagine if you took like a took like like like.
Speaker 10 (19:51):
A bad neighborhood and dropped it in the middle of
Back Bay in Boston like like it is like it's
just it's like, are you saying that's where you're staying.
Speaker 7 (20:04):
That's not where I'm staying.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
But I heard.
Speaker 10 (20:06):
But but I know a couple of radio guys that
uh that that are that are in that neighborhood, and
I told them that they gotta be careful.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
So you're saying.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
You're saying that it's a good area, but it's the
projects and some parts of it. Is that what you're saying,
I mean project is the hood. Tender Loan is a different,
different work for the hood.
Speaker 7 (20:30):
Just put it this way, LeVar, Like if like somebody
has if somebody, somebody has a big night.
Speaker 8 (20:37):
Yeah, if somebody, if.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
Somebody has a big night and maybe like takes a
right instead of a left.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
At one point, they're going to get run it back,
run it like, yeah, you gotta be really give.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
Me that wedding ring, give me that rolling.
Speaker 7 (20:49):
You go two blocks, you go two blocks in one
direction instead of the other direction, and your night might
be taking a turn for the work.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
So basically like New Orleans last year, kind of kind
of what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Yeah, I love New Orleans.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
So that's the super Bowl should be in New Orleans
every year.
Speaker 9 (21:04):
Yeah, you're on an island with about two other people.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
So I enjoyed that antenna.
Speaker 9 (21:11):
I didn't say I hate it. I just said it
was interesting. A lot of the things that were going
on interesting small in New Orleans. Yeah, we had a
great time at the hotel. Bobby, you do wipes aday,

Speaker 6 (23:25):
You know, I love how I'm getting blamed for the
Joe mix and stuff, like I'm getting blamed like that's
me really one one to talk about it.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
I'm just staying with it too. Huh, you're right back up.
Speaker 7 (23:35):
Huh.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
Well, there's conspiracy theories out there, and there was one
that Joe Mixon shot himself there it is saying that
was a story that was out there trying to figure
it all out. There's this other one that's out there.
You know that the Niners one, the Niners injuries are
because they've got there's like a nuclear power.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Will say one of my people that is an equipment
manager or well he's the head of all the equipment
for one team three years.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I mean he sent me that message last night with
asking me like, is there any truth to that? But
shouts out to you nation, by the way, he listens
to the show everything, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
The Nation, uh huh.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Anyway, Uh yeah, I mean I wonder if there is
any validity to it, the San Francisco one, not not
not the mixing one. I'm not I'll wait to see
what that yields. But and I don't know that we'll
ever know about the San Francisco one.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
But John Lynch is gonna look into it, is it?
Speaker 6 (24:37):
Yeah, the forty nine ers GM spoke yesterday to the
media about these theories about the electrical substation or whatever
they call this next to the practice facility and the
stadium they play at.
Speaker 11 (24:48):
Let's take a listen, because it deals with allegedly, you know,
the health and safety of our players. I think you
have to look into everything, and so.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
Our guys have been.
Speaker 11 (24:59):
We've been reaching out to anyone and everyone to see
does a study exist rather than a guy sticking apparatus
underneath the fence and by coming up with a number
that I have no idea what that means.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
You know.
Speaker 11 (25:13):
That's that's what we know exists. We've heard that debunk
you know. So yes, we will look into it.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
We have.
Speaker 11 (25:20):
The the health and safety of our players is of
the utmost priority.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
We pour into it.
Speaker 11 (25:25):
Our ownership Jed tremendous in terms of resources, and we'll
always be cognizant of things. I know that a lot
of games have been won at this facility, you know,
since it opened, and you know, and so.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
But yeah, we aren't going to turn a blind. I
will look into everything.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
Well, I mean, the good news is at least there's
not like a big game that's going to be played
there anytime soon, so you don't have to worry about
all this stuff.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
They don't practice where they play though, doude they yeah,
they do, they do.
Speaker 9 (25:55):
They're actually a practice facility is closer to that, or
I should say equidition to their.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
State to that. Huh.
Speaker 9 (26:02):
I think that's that's why they're drawing a conclusion. That's
why a lot of you know, people are looking into this.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
They're there, they lived there, they're they're practicing there there.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Let me ask you all that. Let me ask you this.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
If that comes back to be confirmed that this could
indeed be the reason why these injuries are taking place.
What do they do and what happens liability wise? I mean,
if you player, it'll never come back, they'll never let
it come back. I mean, if we were, if we
were serious about players safety and health, you don't think
(26:35):
that they would dig into more of like the shoes
they wear, Like has there been an uptick and achilles
and acls since Nike's taken over?
Speaker 5 (26:46):
Right like Nike? Or the surface right like? Has there
been an uptick.
Speaker 9 (26:50):
I mean, Baltimore would be a great team to look
at because they were turf now they're natural grass, and
and has it been better or worse?
Speaker 5 (26:58):
I mean there's very degrees of that.
Speaker 9 (27:00):
I mean, I think you have to look at non
contact soft tissue injuries.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
The problem is, and this is just.
Speaker 9 (27:05):
Like any like anything with analytics, you know, there's so
many variables, so it's hard to do something down to
like one specific thing or one constant because even even
with the field surface, like one of the things that
came about from it was it's not even so much
that if you are always on field turf versus grass.
(27:26):
It was actually like the contrast and how your body
adjusts to the contrast, meaning you know, if you're practicing
a lot on field turf, then you go play on grass,
you know, you're still subject to injury because even though
the grass gives more, your body's not accustomed to it.
And how you plant, move, et cetera. So there's all
sorts of different theories on it.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
I mean, remember the stuff that came out about the
vet old Veteran Stadium, Oh yeah, with the Phillies and
the Eagles played at and they did you know, they
found that there was several former Phillies players who developed
a brain tumor, and somebody went back and looked into
(28:07):
and tested pieces of veteran stadium and they found out
that there was this toxin that was in the turf
that those guys were breathing in during the hot summer months.
And the reason why there wasn't it The same issue
with the Eagles players is because you didn't have the
sun beating down on it during the summer months, So
there's there's been or.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
The licking of your fingers and that being connected to
the ball, whatever it was you were getting from. I
mean I heard this. I don't know how true it is. Yeah,
like you like the chemicals something that's on the that
was on the ball. If you were a QB that
licked your fingers like you were having good that were done?
Speaker 5 (28:48):
Yeah man, yeah, I mean done.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
If your kids like you you were whatever it was
like anyway, there's.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
What you So, what are they're trying to say you're
shooting blanks?
Speaker 1 (29:00):
If you know you aren't shooting blank that's case. Brady's
debunked that theory. No, it's more serious. But you know,
my kid's gonna grow a throat eye. I mean, who knows,
you know, no, no chance. I'm just saying never, never,
never say never.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
We'll talk.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
What do you mean we'll talk to freak because it's
a it's a sensitive topic.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
Is this Is this a real theory?
Speaker 9 (29:25):
I mean, it's no different than Joe Mixon theory that
you keep throwing out.
Speaker 6 (29:29):
That's fair, all right, listen, then listen. If you want
to get money, it's a little bit more. There's a
little bit more meat on the bone to the finger.
So then what isn't the same thing with baseball player?
Because you know pictures in baseball. I don't know about
bake baseball or.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
Does the rosin bag throw it off? I don't know
anything about that.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
Maybe helps, Yeah, the NFL player should get a rosin
back quarterback, she get a rosin back.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
I don't know where'd you hear this from? Look it out?
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Hey, I tell you, babe, Hey, I tell you everything.
Speaker 9 (30:02):
These days, it doesn't it doesn't because there's there's times
when I look up stuff I'm like, that's not right,
and then you tell AI it's not right. It because yes,
I'm sorry, I don't know what happened. It's like, what
are you doing here?
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Yeah, I've been talking to AI tech texts, like people
who build it and work with it, and they said
that AI they can go into like a seizure a state,
a seizure state or or something to that effect.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
I forget the term that he used.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
But like they have lapses, you know, they have moments
the uh yeah, Like.
Speaker 9 (30:35):
It's like any computer, right, like the computer freezes up
or something. I mean, heck, we have that. But a
couple of things. One that doesn't give me as much
faith or confidence in a lot of the self driving
cars because I'm like, well, if this is having an issue,
like I don't want to be driving sixty five down
the highway.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
But there was a car that did it the other day,
drove right into a uh into a crime scene.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
You remember we saw that. Yeah, yeah, drove right into
the guy with what we are, Like, what am I
supposed to do? But they clearly thought that was the safest.
The cries of the act they've gunn or gun whatever.
What was driving? Did you see?
Speaker 9 (31:18):
By the way, though, there's insurance companies now giving people
discount It's like a fifty percent discount for having a
Tesla with full self driving mode.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
Huh, because they're saying.
Speaker 9 (31:29):
The data is that much safer, which and I don't
know it's been out that long, but kind of crazy.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
I've been thinking about doing.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
I've been really thinking, like I've almost panicked at least
ten times and bout a cyber truck. I've almost done
it because I just wanted to. I just want to
sit in it and drive like I don't. I want
to listen to music on my way in here, and
that's it. I'll park it, you know, I'll go through through.
(31:57):
You know, I tell me, why, tell me why. I
feel like we're trying because I've been on that ledge
for a while.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
I feel like we're trying to put fancy names like
AI and self driving on flat out laziness.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
Just so you're calling me lazy.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
No, just drive like these people all. I can't be bothered.
I've got work to do.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
I'm not saying that.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
All I'm saying is is that it's actually the opposite.
No one's really out there when I'm driving into work. Well,
you did have an issue on the freeway.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
They got somebody got a little bothered yesterday, Yeah, somebody.
I almost didn't make it in here on Yeah.
Speaker 6 (32:29):
We were trying to figure out what was the problem,
and it turned out as somebody just opened.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
Fire on anyway, It's gonna happen, right, Jonas.
Speaker 9 (32:36):
I was right behind it, Dude, Jonas, It's gonna happen too,
because he leaves so close.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
He cuts it so it does cut it close. Man,
he cuts it so bro. But he comes in at
the same You do the same thing. Y'all come in
at the same exact time. It's crazy to me, efficient,
it's crazy.
Speaker 6 (32:52):
Hold.
Speaker 5 (32:53):
I just don't have to. I can't. I don't have
the ability to do that.
Speaker 9 (32:56):
The connection things different from me because I can't connect
until a certain.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
I'm talking more super Bowl. I'm talking super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Hell yeah, you know how I roll like we be
by the way, we bet on what by the way.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Second, you're going to walk in, not the minute the scene.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
You played a role in some of that last year,
previous years.
Speaker 5 (33:14):
Because of what we did the night before.
Speaker 9 (33:17):
Yeah, I woke up questioning life.
Speaker 5 (33:20):
Yeah yeah, I could dig it. I could dig though
slobber on my face.
Speaker 9 (33:26):
There's a very sobering reality. When I walked outside and
they got that stench there in New Orleans like weed, urine,
everything else going on.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Well, we bud eaed system in New Orleans, right, I
believe we went over to Saying Together in New Orleans,
just buddies.
Speaker 9 (33:43):
I think that was probably the only thing that made
me actually make it to the show that day.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
For safety purposes.
Speaker 9 (33:47):
I didn't want to let you guys down we were,
because then I thought you might be in the same situation.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
I man, yeah, we weren't.
Speaker 9 (33:52):
Like then if if I'm not there, then he might
not want to come there, and then you know, I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
I was just to make it to the show. Now,
making it through it was a whole nother That was
a whole nother ordeal.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
Do we move.
Speaker 9 (34:05):
Prisco yet so you can make fun of us again
if it happens this year? Yeah, we got to work
on that.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Thursdays the night that's always going to be the night.
As long as we're on the West Coast, they don't
give us no real time. Thursday, Well, I guess even
on the East Coast, Thursday is going to be the
night it's.
Speaker 5 (34:20):
Gotta go down. Yeah, Thursday night goes down.
Speaker 12 (34:24):

Speaker 8 (36:25):
Time to find.
Speaker 4 (36:25):
Out what's left Ton's incredible.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
Here's the left over, ry.
Speaker 13 (36:31):
Larai Roy, what we got well, Bar pointed out earlier
that the TV was showing off Kobe Bryant.
Speaker 12 (36:36):
Well, I did want to kind.
Speaker 13 (36:38):
Of talk about this drop, the stat that he did
that day, So exactly twenty years ago today in two
thousand and six, Kobe dropped eighty one points on that game,
which is a few points.
Speaker 5 (36:48):
Yeah, it's the rap arrows out to the mom books.
Remember that game?
Speaker 12 (36:53):
Yes, anyways, so that's what that was.
Speaker 13 (36:55):
Okay, another fun story that I found, and I know
Brady's a big PGA guy, so this is probably i'd
call it a trick shot.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
GGH Pittsburgh four one two.
Speaker 12 (37:04):
PGAHG you know the golfing thing.
Speaker 13 (37:06):
Oh okay, Well, Adam Shank he is currently one hundred
and thirty six in the PGA Tour. He made a
special type of hole in one so he hit it.
No one could find where the ball went, and turns
out it landed in a guy's drink cup like a
little Rocks cup. It landed directly in his cup.
Speaker 5 (37:22):
How did that guy? I realized it?
Speaker 12 (37:25):
Yeah, he just kind of stood. There's like, what just happened?
Speaker 8 (37:30):
Bro?
Speaker 9 (37:30):
He was that blasted? What could you imagine? He's so
drunk a ball flies in your cup.
Speaker 5 (37:36):
You're like, what's that? Man was a bug? Hey?
Speaker 6 (37:40):
By the way, we're not that far away from here
in that awful Master's theme music.
Speaker 9 (37:46):
Oh, it's not awful. It's just sleepy, and we are
quite a ways away from that. Give it some time.
Speaker 13 (37:53):
Maybe the spectator was sleeping and that's why he didn't
see the ball coming.
Speaker 9 (37:57):
If you want to talk about drama the PGA tour,
it's interesting how there was like that whole PGA Live debate.
Now with Keepka coming over, there's thought that some other
guys might basically Rory's take a strong stance.
Speaker 5 (38:10):
He's like, yeah, you guys, I'll go Hey.
Speaker 9 (38:12):
There's the boy. He's like, there's no merger, there's nothing.
We'll never come together on this, So go ahead and
choose your side.
Speaker 5 (38:19):
That's gonna be interesting. I'm gonna keep getting my cash
real fast from the stage.
Speaker 12 (38:26):
I love cash real fast.
Speaker 5 (38:28):
What else you got right?
Speaker 7 (38:29):
Right?
Speaker 5 (38:29):
Okay?
Speaker 13 (38:30):
Well, as we know, quarterback Bone nixt to his acl
on last Saturday's playoff game against the Bills. While the fans,
though stressed, are showing love and support, Bo's wife Izzy
actually posted on Instagram a photo of their mailbox, so
all their neighbors and everyone in their community have been
putting get well cards into his mailbox, and she said
they're trying to stay positive. God could not have placed
(38:52):
us anywhere better than this. I'm so grateful he shows Denver.
We cannot wait to see what he has in store
for this team. We will be on the front road
hearing the loudest.
Speaker 6 (39:00):
Leave the guy alone, stop badgering him in his house.
I don't care if it's a nice mail or not.
Leave the guy alone, let him get better.
Speaker 5 (39:06):
Weirdos showing up to the guy's house drop it off mail.
Speaker 9 (39:10):
It does, dude, It does make you wonder like the
Carson Wentz Philly deal, how Nick Foles comes in and
wins one and then once his career is the same,
like one of the Jareds didn't did it?
Speaker 5 (39:22):
That'd be wild.
Speaker 6 (39:25):
Doesn't iyah all the way to our picks tomorrow, but
oh oh, it'd be a couple of surprises, you know.
Good either way, it's gonna be uh a super Bowl.
Nobody expected that we're gonna end up with it will
for sure

Albert Brier. Have you ever wiped with a piece of
dry toilet paper and wondering is this as good as
it gets? No, it's not switched to life changing wet
extra large flushable dude, wife, extra lord, because wetter just
cleans better, available at Amazon and at major retailers nationwide.
Best clean pants down. And with that we pull them
(01:59):
back back up and welcome in what a great transition
the one Albert Brier, senior NFL reporter, come on with
that tall lead content strategist at the m m QB.
You can get him on X Albert at Albert Brier
Aby Good morning.
Speaker 7 (02:18):
That was a graphic read right there.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Yeah, man, we like them on this show, very very detailed. Yeah,
oh we got going on. You feel about pants down? Ab?
I mean yeah, I mean, I mean, Albert, what's that?
Speaker 8 (02:35):
It depends on what kind of party it is.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Indeed, that's why you're my guy, Ab, That's why you're
my guy.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
But we were we good with was that twisted sister?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Was that?
Speaker 6 (02:47):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Quite right? Yeah, that's quite right. Come on, we did
that on the show. You do know that? Yeah, I know,
just making sure that that's we're set on that.
Speaker 9 (02:56):
Oh all right, our can I check things off by
asking you what your thoughts were after Terry Pokula spoke,
because I felt like Kean Coleman can't be feeling good
right now, and also how could the next head coach
not feel like he has to win a Super Bowl
if the coach you just fired you in essence said
(03:20):
you hit a playoff wall.
Speaker 7 (03:22):
Yeah, I mean my my first my first thought, Brady
was the guy.
Speaker 8 (03:26):
I mean, the guy is.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Still on the team. What are you doing? You know
what I mean?
Speaker 7 (03:30):
Like so, like I that was that was pretty jarring,
Like if you're a player hearing you having to hear that,
Oh yeah, like these other guys they the champion for
you and and and took up your cause before the draft.
Speaker 8 (03:47):
They're gone now.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
And uh so like that that piece of it was
was eye opening a course.
Speaker 8 (03:53):
And I think this is also why, like you.
Speaker 7 (03:55):
Know, a lot of people who work for these teams
don't want their owners speaking public because they don't have
anybody answer for it, and they can shoot from the
hip in a way that other people can't, and a
lot of times.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
The people that are working for them.
Speaker 8 (04:08):
Wind up holding the bag. And I think that's sort of.
Speaker 7 (04:12):
You know, the the long and short of of where
all of this landed everyone, you know, you know, coming
out of the press conference. I it's it's it's an
interesting dynamic there now because I think for the last
nine years we have all felt, and rightfully so on
the outside, that this was one of the most buttoned up,
(04:33):
well run organizations in all football. They've done such a
nice job of changing the face that organization and you know,
obviously finding a quarterback, but also like in a lot
of ways, like building a consistent winner and one that
was very level and and and didn't like you know,
didn't didn't panic in the face of X, Y or
(04:53):
Z happening. And it's almost like that all like did
a U turn, you know, in an hour during that
press conference.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
You know.
Speaker 7 (05:01):
I as far as far as your second question, Brady,
which was you know, what was the next coach going
to feel? I think that's sort of going to be
there anyway, right like when you fire a coach after
making the playoffs in eight to nine years, after winning
five division titles, after getting the two conference title games,
and in a year in which like you won a
playoff game, right, and you know, the loss came on
(05:24):
the road against the number one seed. Whoever replaces that
guy is going to be under a tremendous amount of pressure,
especially when you've got a talent like Josh Allen on hand.
So I think that the pressure, based on the circumstances
of Sean McDermott's.
Speaker 8 (05:40):
Firing were always was always going to be there.
Speaker 7 (05:44):
But yeah, I mean, like the tone and that press conference,
you can definitely feel a little bit of the tension
that you felt after the game when when Josh Allen
had the emotional reaction that he did, and of course
Sean McDermott, you know, said the things that he did
about the officiating ABE.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
So then the plan moving forward for them is what
you've got day Ball which has been reported and rumored
out there, Joe Brady, which has been reported and rumored
out there, is are we looking at what's going to
be an offensive coach to try and maximize Josh Allen
moving forward?
Speaker 7 (06:20):
Yeah, Well, clearly they're looking first in house, right, So
Joe Brady's in house, Brian dave Ball was in house,
Anthony Lynn was in house, So they're looking at a
few people that they have experience and background with first
and you know, I think they're gonna probably take their
(06:41):
time here, and it wouldn't surprise me, guys if they quietly.
Speaker 8 (06:44):
Take a swing on someone. Now I don't know who
that is, but you know, look like you've got.
Speaker 7 (06:50):
What I think is a unique talent at the quarterback position.
And the word unique gets thrown around too often, but
this guy is truly unique talent. The quarterback position going
to turn thirty years old, So if you're doing this
again in three or four or five years, the circumstances
might not be the same as they are now.
Speaker 8 (07:07):
It's just a golden.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
Opportunity where you know, you got a chance for someone
to come in and compete for a championship right away.
And so like, who do you want to give that
opportunity too? Is it going to be an experienced coach?
Is it going to be a first time coach? Because
whoever comes into that job is going.
Speaker 8 (07:25):
To have to handle the pressure that you just reference, right.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Like, so you know, a two or three game losing streaking.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
Year one is going to be digested differently there than
it would be in almost any other opening, maybe save
for Baltimore. Right, So, like I think it's incumbent on
them to take swings and I and I and I
don't think you'd hear about any of these swings unless
they connected on one of them. But why not, I
don't know, call Minnesota, you know, and say, like, would
(07:54):
Kevin O'Connell be available for any price? Like I think
they should be doing things like that, because again, and
they've got this golden opportunity that's not going to come
around again, and they've got to get this one right.
You know, there's so much on the lines for that franchise.
So if it's me in that seat and I'm Terry Pagola,
I'm doing the interviews that you're doing now you know,
(08:15):
of course you're going through all that, but in the background,
I'm trying to take swings to see if I can get.
Speaker 8 (08:21):
Some sort of some sort of big name in there
to try to go in a Super Bowl with Aybe.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
It's interesting hearing the commentary on Buffalo. You have two
very very storied franchises and Baltimore isn't even in reality
that old of a franchise obviously, but has established a
gold standard and how they're ran that's got to be
I don't know debatable the number one opportunity out there.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
But then there's the Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Steelers, there's the Cleveland Browns, the AFC North pretty much
outside of the bank, and then there's a couple more
out there. I mean you obviously the the Raiders and
the Cardinals, but I mean when you're looking at this
amount of vacancies and availability, like, what what are the
(09:15):
conversations because again, these are super super respected in the
two the Ravens and the Steelers, there's gotta be a
on these organizations to get.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
It right at this point.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
How is that?
Speaker 1 (09:32):
What are the conversations surrounding who the possible candidates would be?
Speaker 5 (09:36):
For those in particular.
Speaker 7 (09:39):
I think Baltimore and Pittsburgh are a little different than
Buffalo personally, Like I think Baltimore and Pittsburgh are I mean,
their success has transcended one player, one coach, you know,
So like I think if you're Baltimore and Pittsburgh, you've
got a little bit more leeway than Buffalo does to
(09:59):
take a long term view of this right and just say, okay,
like let's look at what guy us here in the
first place, which you know, for for both those franchises,
has been you know, when they're in these spots, running
a real process and going.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Through all of your options.
Speaker 7 (10:14):
And you know, I think if you look at the
last hire in Baltimore, certainly the last couple of HighRes
in Pittsburgh that wound up being huge successes, they were
kind of names that weren't on everybody who's weren't at
the top of everybody's board, right, So Mike Tomlin, Bill Cower,
you know, and and and John Harvard became legends in
(10:35):
those places. But like that's not how they were seen
before they got those jobs.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
And so teams coach right harv.
Speaker 7 (10:45):
Right, right, So like I think I think for for
those teams, you sort of lean back on what you've done,
what you've always done, and you're not working on anybody
else's timeline, you know. Like obviously, like the the the
Giants were like very very aggressive and going and hiring
(11:06):
John Harbaugh Falcon.
Speaker 8 (11:08):
Same thing with Kevins Fank, even earlier.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
This week with Solid Halfley going to Tennessee in Miami.
Those teams like hustled to get those guys hired, so
those guys wouldn't take their second.
Speaker 8 (11:19):
Interviews in other places. You know, I don't.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
Think Baltimore or Pittsburgh have to operate that way, you know,
because you see what their history is, how attractive those
jobs are, the prestige of those franchises, the success that
they've had, gives them the leeway to wait and take
their time and go find the guy, you know. And
so I view Pittsburgh and Baltimore sort of separate than
the rest, just because you know, they've shown an ability
(11:46):
and an aptitude to find the right guy in the past.
And I think you if you're a fan of either
of those teams, you can trust that your ownership's got,
you know, good instincts and a good chance to get
it right, even if it isn't some guy who's going
to grab headlines on day one.
Speaker 9 (12:02):
Yeah, and then Super Bowls in this millennium, right like,
I think we view those franchises a bit different. I
want to ask you about a couple of player situations.
Jonas made some wild accusations throughout some theories on Joe Mixon,
What the hell happened there? And then Brendan Aiyuk like
another guy who got paid and then all of a
(12:25):
sudden kind of disappeared.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
What is going on those two deals?
Speaker 2 (12:29):
So like the mixing thing is weird and I have
to do it.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
To be quite honest, you some more digging to get
to the bottom of it. But I mean, obviously Nick
said what he said. Nick Seio the tea him there
said what he said, you know, which was.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
That I think he said it was as.
Speaker 8 (12:45):
Weird a situation or.
Speaker 7 (12:47):
Something like that from an injury standpoint.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
But did you hear the have you read this? Sorry interrupt,
but have you read this? I saw there was a
report that said there's a rumor out that he that
Joe Mixon.
Speaker 9 (12:57):
Shot himself, which Jonas wants to be true for some reason.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
I don't know why.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
I don't want to be just saying that's something that
I why do you keep bringing it up?
Speaker 5 (13:06):
Because you referenced it and it's a new audience. I
want them to know.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah, it's like a plexicoverer situations.
Speaker 8 (13:12):
Yeah, I don't know about that.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
I don't know about that.
Speaker 7 (13:16):
I mean with Ayuk, I think as much as anything else,
it was that contract situation got contentious and the Niners
have been down that road in the past with Nick
Bosa and Deebo Samuel, and they had kind of come
out of a bunch of those where they were able to,
you know, repair the relationship in the back end and
(13:37):
let bygones be bygones. And I think, you know, they
got caught in one finally where some of the back
and forth they'll will whatever you want to call it
during the summer twenty four lingered, and it was just
abundantly clear like they they expected him back, guys in
like week nine, like when I was there, you know,
(13:58):
over the summer, and then talking to those guys early
in the season, it's like, yeah, it'd be somewhere week nine,
week ten, we're gonna have him back.
Speaker 8 (14:05):
And so.
Speaker 7 (14:07):
For him not to come back and for things to
get as bad as they did, and we all saw
the video. That thing went south in a hurry, and
you know, I'm sure, well, I know there's a lot
of regret that they didn't take the offers that they
had from you know, teams like Pittsburgh and New England
while the contract situation was going out going going on
that summer.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Let me let me ask you about we uh we
we had the conversation about gms and coaches and who
brings in who and who comes in first, and the
connection of it and you know, obviously hearing Terry Pegoula
jump out there and defend his GM. We just had
the conversations about Harball and him answering directly to ownership
(14:52):
and not through the GM, Like what's that? What are
industry wise? What are those conversations looking like right now?
Like there'd be a new GM that comes in with
a new head coach and a new hey coach, bring
in a new like how how how does all of
that work?
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Abe?
Speaker 7 (15:11):
I would say, like generally, so like these things like
are the best way.
Speaker 8 (15:17):
To put this?
Speaker 7 (15:19):
I would say, like all thirty two teams are a
little different.
Speaker 8 (15:23):
And I did a big.
Speaker 7 (15:23):
Project on this, probably thirteen years ago when I was
an NFL network and I remember like my, my, my,
one of my producers slash editors like said to me,
like I would love to know how each of these
franchises work.
Speaker 8 (15:35):
And I and I remember.
Speaker 7 (15:36):
I'm thinking, like okay, like there's gonna be like four
or five different models, and you're gonna be able.
Speaker 8 (15:40):
To put everybody in one bucket or the other.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
And what I figured out is like that they're all
sort of a little bit different from the next one.
They can fit into maybe families but there are like
distinct differences from one place to.
Speaker 8 (15:53):
The next and almost every case.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
And you know, so, you know, I've had coaches tell
me like, well, if you look at the Dynasties, which
is right, If you look at the dynasties, they all
were established with powerful coaches, right, like a lot of them.
Oh right, Like so Bill Walsh was powerful and.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
I thought, yeah, I knew some immediately, but all.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Right, right, right, but news But but there are cases.
Speaker 8 (16:16):
Like that too, you know what I mean.
Speaker 7 (16:17):
But if you look at the team of the eighties,
Bill Walsh had a had had heavy influence in personnel
team in the nineties Cowboys, Jimmy Johnson, and then with
Belichick from you know, in the in the in the
two thousands and then the twenty tens, you know.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
So Andy Reid.
Speaker 7 (16:34):
Yeah, I mean, like so there's there's different ways to
do it.
Speaker 8 (16:37):
And I don't know if there's one that you.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
Look at and say like, yeah, that's the model. You know,
I think, as much as anything else, it sort of.
Speaker 8 (16:45):
Depends on the people and the aptitude of the people
that you have in charge.
Speaker 7 (16:49):
Like you know, in Philly, it's really worked with Howie Roseman,
you know, pushing the buttons. Like you said, for all
those years of Baltimore, you know, Ozzie Newsom was in
charge and that work. It worked in New England with
Belichick having having his finger on the trigger in Kansas
City the last you know, the last what is it,
thirteen years, it's been a little split. Like Andy doesn't
have it doesn't want like the same amount of personnel
(17:12):
control that he had in Philly, and that's really worn
owner and he likes the.
Speaker 8 (17:16):
Way that that works.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
And so you know, after they let go of Sean.
Speaker 8 (17:20):
It's like, okay, like how are we going to set
this up? Well, for all of those years it.
Speaker 7 (17:24):
Had been Sean McDermott and Brandon being both reporting.
Speaker 8 (17:26):
To the owner, and the owner is.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
Part of letting Sean McDermott go made the decision, Okay,
I would rather just have one person reporting to me
and then having the coach report.
Speaker 8 (17:37):
To the president of football ops.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
And again, like here's the thing, like if you're like
looking for a head coach who has options or who
has leverage, do you.
Speaker 8 (17:47):
Have to go back on that? They may have to
you know what I mean?
Speaker 7 (17:49):
Like, because there's that part.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
Of it too, that's minimizing your coach, isn't it right?
Speaker 7 (17:56):
And that's the whole thing. Like, for me, that'd be
the bigger question. If you want this different model, fine,
I think the optice of giving a guy a new
title when you know you just fired your coach aren't
great when those two guys were supposed to be, like,
you know, in lockstep as partners. But on top of that, like,
I also think like going to that model now, like,
(18:18):
does that make a coach who might be otherwise really
interested because Josh Allen is there, because you've got a
pretty good roster that you can work with. Does that
coach now look at it and say, well, I would
definitely be interested.
Speaker 8 (18:31):
In that job.
Speaker 7 (18:32):
But do I want to be answering to a general
manager where the coach just got fired?
Speaker 8 (18:36):
I think that's a fair question.
Speaker 6 (18:39):
Abe, it's been fun. Let's do it again next week.
Do you have a quickly a couple of picks on
the games this weekend?
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I think I would go Patriots.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
I want to say Seahawks, Patriots, Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Maybe have you guys made your picks yet?
Speaker 10 (18:59):
No?
Speaker 5 (18:59):
Wait until.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Okay, okay, well good luck with that you guys.
Speaker 7 (19:07):
Oh yeah, absolutely, I heard I heard a couple of
the I heard a couple of media hotels are in
the tender Line, which is not an interesting area.
Speaker 8 (19:17):
So I don't know, I'm do you don't know about
the tender Line.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
No, I don't know what that means.
Speaker 8 (19:24):
Yeah, you guys know about the Jonas.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
You guys John's here.
Speaker 8 (19:28):
You're from California, right, you know what the tender one is.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
Yeah, well there's two different Californias. There's there and then
there's here, and it's.
Speaker 7 (19:33):
Okay, all right, So the Tenderline is like I mean,
I just think of it from like Brady, you know,
do you know do you know Boston at all?
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Like I can't use it, like okay, So.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
Imagine if you took like a took like like like.
Speaker 10 (19:51):
A bad neighborhood and dropped it in the middle of
Back Bay in Boston like like it is like it's
just it's like, are you saying that's where you're staying.
Speaker 7 (20:04):
That's not where I'm staying.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
But I heard.
Speaker 10 (20:06):
But but I know a couple of radio guys that
uh that that are that are in that neighborhood, and
I told them that they gotta be careful.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
So you're saying.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
You're saying that it's a good area, but it's the
projects and some parts of it. Is that what you're saying,
I mean project is the hood. Tender Loan is a different,
different work for the hood.
Speaker 7 (20:30):
Just put it this way, LeVar, Like if like somebody
has if somebody, somebody has a big night.
Speaker 8 (20:37):
Yeah, if somebody, if.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
Somebody has a big night and maybe like takes a
right instead of a left.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
At one point, they're going to get run it back,
run it like, yeah, you gotta be really give.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
Me that wedding ring, give me that rolling.
Speaker 7 (20:49):
You go two blocks, you go two blocks in one
direction instead of the other direction, and your night might
be taking a turn for the work.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
So basically like New Orleans last year, kind of kind
of what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Yeah, I love New Orleans.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
So that's the super Bowl should be in New Orleans
every year.
Speaker 9 (21:04):
Yeah, you're on an island with about two other people.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
So I enjoyed that antenna.
Speaker 9 (21:11):
I didn't say I hate it. I just said it
was interesting. A lot of the things that were going
on interesting small in New Orleans. Yeah, we had a
great time at the hotel. Bobby, you do wipes aday,
all right?
Speaker 7 (21:23):
A B.

Speaker 6 (23:25):
You know, I love how I'm getting blamed for the
Joe mix and stuff, like I'm getting blamed like that's
me really one one to talk about it.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
I'm just staying with it too. Huh, you're right back up.
Speaker 7 (23:35):
Huh.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
Well, there's conspiracy theories out there, and there was one
that Joe Mixon shot himself there it is saying that
was a story that was out there trying to figure
it all out. There's this other one that's out there.
You know that the Niners one, the Niners injuries are
because they've got there's like a nuclear power.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Will say one of my people that is an equipment
manager or well he's the head of all the equipment
for one team three years.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I mean he sent me that message last night with
asking me like, is there any truth to that? But
shouts out to you nation, by the way, he listens
to the show everything, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
The Nation, uh huh.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Anyway, Uh yeah, I mean I wonder if there is
any validity to it, the San Francisco one, not not
not the mixing one. I'm not I'll wait to see
what that yields. But and I don't know that we'll
ever know about the San Francisco one.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
But John Lynch is gonna look into it, is it?
Speaker 6 (24:37):
Yeah, the forty nine ers GM spoke yesterday to the
media about these theories about the electrical substation or whatever
they call this next to the practice facility and the
stadium they play at.
Speaker 11 (24:48):
Let's take a listen, because it deals with allegedly, you know,
the health and safety of our players. I think you
have to look into everything, and so.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
Our guys have been.
Speaker 11 (24:59):
We've been reaching out to anyone and everyone to see
does a study exist rather than a guy sticking apparatus
underneath the fence and by coming up with a number
that I have no idea what that means.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
You know.
Speaker 11 (25:13):
That's that's what we know exists. We've heard that debunk
you know. So yes, we will look into it.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
We have.
Speaker 11 (25:20):
The the health and safety of our players is of
the utmost priority.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
We pour into it.
Speaker 11 (25:25):
Our ownership Jed tremendous in terms of resources, and we'll
always be cognizant of things. I know that a lot
of games have been won at this facility, you know,
since it opened, and you know, and so.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
But yeah, we aren't going to turn a blind. I
will look into everything.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
Well, I mean, the good news is at least there's
not like a big game that's going to be played
there anytime soon, so you don't have to worry about
all this stuff.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
They don't practice where they play though, doude they yeah,
they do, they do.
Speaker 9 (25:55):
They're actually a practice facility is closer to that, or
I should say equidition to their.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
State to that. Huh.
Speaker 9 (26:02):
I think that's that's why they're drawing a conclusion. That's
why a lot of you know, people are looking into this.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
They're there, they lived there, they're they're practicing there there.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Let me ask you all that. Let me ask you this.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
If that comes back to be confirmed that this could
indeed be the reason why these injuries are taking place.
What do they do and what happens liability wise? I mean,
if you player, it'll never come back, they'll never let
it come back. I mean, if we were, if we
were serious about players safety and health, you don't think
(26:35):
that they would dig into more of like the shoes
they wear, Like has there been an uptick and achilles
and acls since Nike's taken over?
Speaker 5 (26:46):
Right like Nike? Or the surface right like? Has there
been an uptick.
Speaker 9 (26:50):
I mean, Baltimore would be a great team to look
at because they were turf now they're natural grass, and
and has it been better or worse?
Speaker 5 (26:58):
I mean there's very degrees of that.
Speaker 9 (27:00):
I mean, I think you have to look at non
contact soft tissue injuries.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
The problem is, and this is just.
Speaker 9 (27:05):
Like any like anything with analytics, you know, there's so
many variables, so it's hard to do something down to
like one specific thing or one constant because even even
with the field surface, like one of the things that
came about from it was it's not even so much
that if you are always on field turf versus grass.
(27:26):
It was actually like the contrast and how your body
adjusts to the contrast, meaning you know, if you're practicing
a lot on field turf, then you go play on grass,
you know, you're still subject to injury because even though
the grass gives more, your body's not accustomed to it.
And how you plant, move, et cetera. So there's all
sorts of different theories on it.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
I mean, remember the stuff that came out about the
vet old Veteran Stadium, Oh yeah, with the Phillies and
the Eagles played at and they did you know, they
found that there was several former Phillies players who developed
a brain tumor, and somebody went back and looked into
(28:07):
and tested pieces of veteran stadium and they found out
that there was this toxin that was in the turf
that those guys were breathing in during the hot summer months.
And the reason why there wasn't it The same issue
with the Eagles players is because you didn't have the
sun beating down on it during the summer months, So
there's there's been or.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
The licking of your fingers and that being connected to
the ball, whatever it was you were getting from. I
mean I heard this. I don't know how true it is. Yeah,
like you like the chemicals something that's on the that
was on the ball. If you were a QB that
licked your fingers like you were having good that were done?
Speaker 5 (28:48):
Yeah man, yeah, I mean done.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
If your kids like you you were whatever it was
like anyway, there's.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
What you So, what are they're trying to say you're
shooting blanks?
Speaker 1 (29:00):
If you know you aren't shooting blank that's case. Brady's
debunked that theory. No, it's more serious. But you know,
my kid's gonna grow a throat eye. I mean, who knows,
you know, no, no chance. I'm just saying never, never,
never say never.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
We'll talk.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
What do you mean we'll talk to freak because it's
a it's a sensitive topic.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
Is this Is this a real theory?
Speaker 9 (29:25):
I mean, it's no different than Joe Mixon theory that
you keep throwing out.
Speaker 6 (29:29):
That's fair, all right, listen, then listen. If you want
to get money, it's a little bit more. There's a
little bit more meat on the bone to the finger.
So then what isn't the same thing with baseball player?
Because you know pictures in baseball. I don't know about
bake baseball or.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
Does the rosin bag throw it off? I don't know
anything about that.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
Maybe helps, Yeah, the NFL player should get a rosin
back quarterback, she get a rosin back.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
I don't know where'd you hear this from? Look it out?
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Hey, I tell you, babe, Hey, I tell you everything.
Speaker 9 (30:02):
These days, it doesn't it doesn't because there's there's times
when I look up stuff I'm like, that's not right,
and then you tell AI it's not right. It because yes,
I'm sorry, I don't know what happened. It's like, what
are you doing here?
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Yeah, I've been talking to AI tech texts, like people
who build it and work with it, and they said
that AI they can go into like a seizure a state,
a seizure state or or something to that effect.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
I forget the term that he used.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
But like they have lapses, you know, they have moments
the uh yeah, Like.
Speaker 9 (30:35):
It's like any computer, right, like the computer freezes up
or something. I mean, heck, we have that. But a
couple of things. One that doesn't give me as much
faith or confidence in a lot of the self driving
cars because I'm like, well, if this is having an issue,
like I don't want to be driving sixty five down
the highway.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
But there was a car that did it the other day,
drove right into a uh into a crime scene.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
You remember we saw that. Yeah, yeah, drove right into
the guy with what we are, Like, what am I
supposed to do? But they clearly thought that was the safest.
The cries of the act they've gunn or gun whatever.
What was driving? Did you see?
Speaker 9 (31:18):
By the way, though, there's insurance companies now giving people
discount It's like a fifty percent discount for having a
Tesla with full self driving mode.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
Huh, because they're saying.
Speaker 9 (31:29):
The data is that much safer, which and I don't
know it's been out that long, but kind of crazy.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
I've been thinking about doing.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
I've been really thinking, like I've almost panicked at least
ten times and bout a cyber truck. I've almost done
it because I just wanted to. I just want to
sit in it and drive like I don't. I want
to listen to music on my way in here, and
that's it. I'll park it, you know, I'll go through through.
(31:57):
You know, I tell me, why, tell me why. I
feel like we're trying because I've been on that ledge
for a while.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
I feel like we're trying to put fancy names like
AI and self driving on flat out laziness.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
Just so you're calling me lazy.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
No, just drive like these people all. I can't be bothered.
I've got work to do.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
I'm not saying that.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
All I'm saying is is that it's actually the opposite.
No one's really out there when I'm driving into work. Well,
you did have an issue on the freeway.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
They got somebody got a little bothered yesterday, Yeah, somebody.
I almost didn't make it in here on Yeah.
Speaker 6 (32:29):
We were trying to figure out what was the problem,
and it turned out as somebody just opened.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
Fire on anyway, It's gonna happen, right, Jonas.
Speaker 9 (32:36):
I was right behind it, Dude, Jonas, It's gonna happen too,
because he leaves so close.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
He cuts it so it does cut it close. Man,
he cuts it so bro. But he comes in at
the same You do the same thing. Y'all come in
at the same exact time. It's crazy to me, efficient,
it's crazy.
Speaker 6 (32:52):
Hold.
Speaker 5 (32:53):
I just don't have to. I can't. I don't have
the ability to do that.
Speaker 9 (32:56):
The connection things different from me because I can't connect
until a certain.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
I'm talking more super Bowl. I'm talking super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Hell yeah, you know how I roll like we be
by the way, we bet on what by the way.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Second, you're going to walk in, not the minute the scene.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
You played a role in some of that last year,
previous years.
Speaker 5 (33:14):
Because of what we did the night before.
Speaker 9 (33:17):
Yeah, I woke up questioning life.
Speaker 5 (33:20):
Yeah yeah, I could dig it. I could dig though
slobber on my face.
Speaker 9 (33:26):
There's a very sobering reality. When I walked outside and
they got that stench there in New Orleans like weed, urine,
everything else going on.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Well, we bud eaed system in New Orleans, right, I
believe we went over to Saying Together in New Orleans,
just buddies.
Speaker 9 (33:43):
I think that was probably the only thing that made
me actually make it to the show that day.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
For safety purposes.
Speaker 9 (33:47):
I didn't want to let you guys down we were,
because then I thought you might be in the same situation.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
I man, yeah, we weren't.
Speaker 9 (33:52):
Like then if if I'm not there, then he might
not want to come there, and then you know, I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
I was just to make it to the show. Now,
making it through it was a whole nother That was
a whole nother ordeal.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
Do we move.
Speaker 9 (34:05):
Prisco yet so you can make fun of us again
if it happens this year? Yeah, we got to work
on that.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Thursdays the night that's always going to be the night.

give us no real time. Thursday, Well, I guess even
on the East Coast, Thursday is going to be the
night it's.

Speaker 8 (36:25):
Time to find.
Speaker 4 (36:25):
Out what's left Ton's incredible.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
Here's the left over, ry.
Speaker 13 (36:31):
Larai Roy, what we got well, Bar pointed out earlier
that the TV was showing off Kobe Bryant.
Speaker 12 (36:36):
Well, I did want to kind.
Speaker 13 (36:38):
Of talk about this drop, the stat that he did
that day, So exactly twenty years ago today in two
thousand and six, Kobe dropped eighty one points on that game,
which is a few points.
Speaker 5 (36:48):
Yeah, it's the rap arrows out to the mom books.
Remember that game?
Speaker 12 (36:53):
Yes, anyways, so that's what that was.
Speaker 13 (36:55):
Okay, another fun story that I found, and I know
Brady's a big PGA guy, so this is probably i'd
call it a trick shot.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
GGH Pittsburgh four one two.
Speaker 12 (37:04):
PGAHG you know the golfing thing.
Speaker 13 (37:06):
Oh okay, Well, Adam Shank he is currently one hundred
and thirty six in the PGA Tour. He made a
special type of hole in one so he hit it.
No one could find where the ball went, and turns
out it landed in a guy's drink cup like a
little Rocks cup. It landed directly in his cup.
Speaker 5 (37:22):
How did that guy? I realized it?
Speaker 12 (37:25):
Yeah, he just kind of stood. There's like, what just happened?
Speaker 8 (37:30):
Bro?
Speaker 9 (37:30):
He was that blasted? What could you imagine? He's so
drunk a ball flies in your cup.
Speaker 5 (37:36):
You're like, what's that? Man was a bug? Hey?
Speaker 6 (37:40):
By the way, we're not that far away from here
in that awful Master's theme music.
Speaker 9 (37:46):
Oh, it's not awful. It's just sleepy, and we are
quite a ways away from that. Give it some time.
Speaker 13 (37:53):
Maybe the spectator was sleeping and that's why he didn't
see the ball coming.
Speaker 9 (37:57):
If you want to talk about drama the PGA tour,
it's interesting how there was like that whole PGA Live debate.
Now with Keepka coming over, there's thought that some other
guys might basically Rory's take a strong stance.
Speaker 5 (38:10):
He's like, yeah, you guys, I'll go Hey.
Speaker 9 (38:12):
There's the boy. He's like, there's no merger, there's nothing.
We'll never come together on this, So go ahead and
choose your side.
Speaker 5 (38:19):
That's gonna be interesting. I'm gonna keep getting my cash
real fast from the stage.
Speaker 12 (38:26):
I love cash real fast.
Speaker 5 (38:28):
What else you got right?
Speaker 7 (38:29):
Right?
Speaker 5 (38:29):
Okay?
Speaker 13 (38:30):
Well, as we know, quarterback Bone nixt to his acl
on last Saturday's playoff game against the Bills. While the fans,
though stressed, are showing love and support, Bo's wife Izzy
actually posted on Instagram a photo of their mailbox, so
all their neighbors and everyone in their community have been
putting get well cards into his mailbox, and she said
they're trying to stay positive. God could not have placed
(38:52):
us anywhere better than this. I'm so grateful he shows Denver.
We cannot wait to see what he has in store
for this team. We will be on the front road
hearing the loudest.
Speaker 6 (39:00):
Leave the guy alone, stop badgering him in his house.
I don't care if it's a nice mail or not.
Leave the guy alone, let him get better.
Speaker 5 (39:06):
Weirdos showing up to the guy's house drop it off mail.
Speaker 9 (39:10):
It does, dude, It does make you wonder like the
Carson Wentz Philly deal, how Nick Foles comes in and
wins one and then once his career is the same,
like one of the Jareds didn't did it?
Speaker 5 (39:22):
That'd be wild.
Speaker 6 (39:25):
Doesn't iyah all the way to our picks tomorrow, but
oh oh, it'd be a couple of surprises, you know.
Good either way, it's gonna be uh a super Bowl.
Nobody expected that we're gonna end up with it will
for sure
