Sports Radio. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us.
Joined now by Charles Davis at cf D twenty two,
the voice of Madden Fox Sports. UH, one of the
top announced teams as a part of the NFL. Charles
getting a little depressed now. I know you were at
(00:43):
the at the game between Tennessee and Indiana, but I
was just saying, we're down to seven NFL games, We're
down to one college football game. Uh. You ready for
football to be over? Or are you? Like? Man, I
can't believe we're basically coming down the hope stretch of
another season. Um the ladder, but definitely the ladder for me.
(01:03):
I know a lot of people get very excited about
draft season and all all that all that entails, and
I understand that, and that's part of what keeps the
NFL machine going and keeps it going in a big way.
It replaced in our youth the Hot Stove League in baseball.
You know that it's this offseason, but I'm big on
live football. I've never been one to like draft and
(01:26):
speculation talk as opposed to what's actually happening. So yeah,
I'm a little bit depressed that we're coming down the
home stretch. How do you call the preseason games for
the Tennessee Titans. How surprised were you by their win
on the road against the Patriots. It's real easy for
everyone to say they're not surprised. Now, Um, I wouldn't
(01:47):
say that going into it. I was surprised. I would
say that I gave them more than a good chance.
And like my son said to me, it sounds like
your hedge, and well I'm not. I told about what't hedging.
It's hard for me to pick against New England at home,
all right. I don't care what kind of season they've had,
with everything they know is going on. I thought that
would be a very close game, But Tennessee had the
(02:09):
right type of team to take on New England and
they truly were as vulnerable as we thought this time
as opposed to in the past, and we thought, hey,
they're oh they just won again. Yeah, not this time.
This Tennessee team had the right team, the right approach,
the right coach leading them, and a hammer a tail
back which gave New England fits obviously, and there was
your ball game. So do you give You've called I
(02:30):
think a couple of the Baltimore raven games and uh
and you obviously, like I said, have called the Titans,
so you know both those teams pretty well. Do you
give the Titans much of a chance on the road
against Baltimore on Saturday? I give them a good chance
for two reasons. One, if they can continue to do
and stay with their identity on offense, which is Derrick
(02:51):
Henry beating you up. That kind of slows down what
Baltimore wants to do on defense, which is get you
in a vulnerable spot, come at you from an as
you're not expecting, and beat up your quarterback. So that's
one thing too. I think Tennessee can run on defense.
They have team speed and that's a big deal when
you're playing with Lamar Jackson. Now, the bottom line is
(03:12):
everyone has a plan for Lamar Jackson. How many people
actually can get him on the ground in the open
field and turn it into second and long, third, long
things of that nature, and of course keep Ingram from
beating them up inside. We'll see what his juice is
coming off the injury late in the season. But bottom
line is, I give him a heck of a chance
because they're extremely confident and extremely confident in the ability
(03:33):
to run the ball in the playoffs is a pretty
darn good formula. I want to dive through several of
these different games because I'm pretty excited. I think the
best weekend of the year, uh, in the NFL. The
two best are wild Card weekend because I love watching
four games like just about everybody else out there, and
then the Divisional round. Now, a lot of times the
divisional round you don't get as good of a games
like the four wild card games that we just had
(03:55):
were pretty extraordinary across the board. But I'm excited for
the double Saturday. In the double on Sunday, it feels
like the last big swing for the NFL season. So
let's run through the other a f C side, we
know the Texans have gone on the road and beaten
straight up the Chiefs in Kansas City already. Do you
have any faith that they could do that again? How
(04:16):
would you assess that match up? Yeah? My faith is
tied up in the guy wearing number four. Yeah, and
what he took six sacks on Sun last this past
weekend and then still found a way to get out
of a huge you know, pretty much ending sack and
turning it into the play of the games. There's a
lot of faith there. J J. Watt's return, it wasn't
just ceremonial. He had an effect on the game. That's
(04:38):
a big deal. Bottom line, though, Kansas City is not
the same Kansas City Houston winning there and beat this
year because of their defense. Chris Jones full time back playing,
didn't play last time at Djackle. That's a big difference maker.
And I think they finally coalesced on defense on that side.
So I like Kansas City to win, But as you know,
I'm not saying that Houston can't go in there and
(04:58):
get it done a second time. I like Kansas City overall.
What do you think about the Packers at home and
the forty Niners at home? Are you optimistic in both
Home teams. With Seattle headed up to the frozen tundra
and with the Vikings and Kirk Cousins stunning Lee headed
out to to San Francisco. Well, I'm optimistic for both
home teams, but I think both of them are well
aware that this is not your typical six seed. In
(05:21):
the Vikings and especially the way they're playing, and you
notice there's a theme and everything. I say, Dalvin Cook
can run the football, and playoff football is built around
teams who can do this. We always, you know, we
throw it like crazy during the year. It's amazing how
you get to the playoffs the teams that can actually
run it, even if they didn't run it well in
the regular season. How about how New England changed up
last year and became a running team and what did
(05:42):
that do? It powered them all the way through. So
I like that approach for Minnesota Cousins getting the monkey
off of his back at least for one week. With
a big performance, they can go in there and do this.
But I think that week of rest was huge for
San Francisco. All eyes will be on Garoppolo. Can he
hand a playoff pressure. I thought he handled a lot
of pressure during the regular season for Green Bay, what's
(06:05):
their consistency on offense? And will it run through Aaron Rodgers?
Will run through Aaron Jones. I still say they have
to have a vintage Aaron Rodgers performance at some point
in the playoffs to advance deep. Could it be this
week against Seattle who rediscovered their past rush and of
course Russell Wilson still around, but Seattle Clay, who have
they blown out this year? It's a really weird year, right.
(06:25):
Everything is close and tough and they're gritty. But Green
Bass had those kind of games as well. So I
like both home teams to advance, but nothing would shock
me with those two going in there. We're talking to
Charles Davis at CFD two is where you can find him.
Make sure that that you can follow him on Twitter.
You mentioned already the NFL Draft, and we're gonna have
a ton of time to talk about this, but yesterday's
(06:48):
big news to announces that he's going to go into
the NFL Draft. In your mind, did he make the
right decision? I do? I think so. And here's why.
Clay in about a twelve thirteen month time period, both
ankles and a hip, and I just you know, I
realized coming back next year, he could realize a lot
(07:09):
of dreams. He could win a Heisman, they could win
another national championship. Um, you know, he could be a
can Census all America, all the things that that that
go along with being a tremendous college player, which is
what he is. But I just don't think that that's
in his best interest to come back and get dinged again.
If indeed that does happen, it could not. But I
think going to the NFL, and really, look, we're way
(07:32):
away from the draft. We know this thing's gonna go
many roller coaster moves before we get there. But if
we look at it right now, and let's say Miami
decided to take him at five and play and play
Fitzpatrick this year and let this kid heal up and
then take over, that might be the best thing in
the world for him. Get paid to rehab. It's not
a bad way to go. If he goes other places,
(07:53):
they may have to put him in action a lot sooner,
and that might not be beneficial for him. But I
don't think going back to school was the right move
in terms of what he's gone through in the lasts
given how desperate teams are for quarterbacks, particularly young quarterbacks
that could be really good. Isn't it crazy to you
to think that he would fall anywhere outside of the
first round in the league that pushed up guys liked
(08:16):
j Manuel Christian ponder you can go out for days, right, Yes, Yeah,
it's crazy to think that he's going to go. The
biggest deal is going to be medical for him. And
I also have to think that part of him coming
out is that he feels confident his doctors still confident
they'll present very well medically when he gets to the combine,
and what the teams will see before the draft, and
(08:37):
in which case it was going to be negative clag,
I think they would have to rethink this whole thing
that we're talking about. Yes, I think they must feel
like he's on very good track to heal and teams
will be okay with that, in which case you could see, uh,
instead of you know, the idea of him falling in
the draft, you could rapidly see and you know this
as well as anyone if those medicals start to look decent,
(08:58):
and if you start to hear teams, you know, look
at him and saying, you know, look, he may get
hurt like anybody who comes into into this draft, but
he's not going to be fundamentally hurt by this injury
that happened in November. You could start to see a
lot of teams talk talk about trading up, right, because
it's so you look, it seems to me and you
may I know it's still early for you, but Joe
(09:20):
Burrow is probably gonna go number one overall, and then
there's a lot of uncertainty about what might be the
number two quarterback and where he might go. Uh, there
are a lot of teams I think I just ran
through seven or eight that could be in the mix,
depending on how free agency goes and everything else. I mean,
you could start to see a lot of teams get
worried about getting to ah and and potentially a trade happened.
(09:42):
I think you're exactly right about that. And let's let's
look at it a couple of ways. This in these injuries,
if indeed we're we're seeing what we're seeing and what
we feel like we're getting is that he's going to
be okay. Remember Todd Gurley still went upper part of
the draft coming off of a knee. Yeah, and he
was running back that's supposed to be deaf to a
running back, right, So so yeah, I agree totally with that.
(10:05):
And teams are gonna get worried about the quarterbacking because
the other part of it is he's not a big guy.
But we've accepted the smaller quarterback in recent years and
seeing how they've had great success, So that doesn't knock
him out of the box with injuries as well. In
the past that would have clad was that's a small quarterback,
knock him down, can't take him. I don't think we're
gonna look at it that way. And now teams are
(10:27):
just gonna have to decide between he and Justed Herbert
about who you're gonna want to grab higher up in
the draft, because I agree with you, Burrow is almost
a lock to go one, and it just the only
thing that scares you is it makes so much sense
going one to Cincinnati being an Ohio kid. Yeah, that's
just worried that somehow something's going to get crazy with it.
But right now, locking in Burrow at one to the Bengals,
(10:48):
all right, So as we kind of look ahead here
with the free agent market in the NFL, Philip Rivers,
Tom Brady, maybe cam Newton, certainly, some of the some
of the backups, Marcus Mariotta. Who knows what's gonna happen
with Jamis Winston, Teddy Bridgewater. I mean I just ran
through like six different names that are all guys that
(11:09):
could provoke a decent amount of interest on the free
agent market at the end of of the this season.
Let me give you the hypothetical I started off the
show with, you got a new coach and Mike McCarthy
down in Dallas. They gotta figure out what to do
with Dak and with the mari Cooper. If they're not
a hundred percent sold on Dak Prescott and they're even
contemplating franchising him for a year, uh and trying to
(11:32):
figure out what to do there? Is it crazy to
contemplate bringing in Tom Brady for a couple of years
behind that offensive line, with that talent that Dallas has,
and going full bore for trying to win a Super
Bowl in the next couple of years over signing Dak
Prescott to a hundred million dollar plus long range contract.
(11:56):
It's not crazy. I think it's unlikely for two reasons.
One just simply Prescott where he is now and age,
etcetera says two, McCarthy just came off of Aaron Rodgers.
I think he's excited about the fact that he's gonna
coach someone who, while I'm not saying DOK is just
(12:19):
flat out of yes man. No great quarterback or quarterback
asparting to be great is. But I think it's I
think it's safe to say that he's at a stage
in his career where he might actually be coached a
little bit easier. It's a whole different dynamic in terms
of that. So that's that's why I think that part
is unlikely. Other places very likely. I think if Brady
(12:39):
is indeed interested in looking in those spots, the Chargers
obviously make that kind of sense. I saw repeater King
and mentioned the Raiders is an outside possibility. I think
the Tennessee Titans would have to make a decision if
indeed Brady was interested in Hey, hey, Mike, Brad, but
I like what your team are doing. I like Nashville.
I'd be interested in doing that because tanne Hills play
(13:00):
so well this year. What kind of move do you
make there? Do you trust what you see him from
Tannehill going forward, or do you say, hey, we're gonna
take a shot at the goat, you know, that sort
of a thing, So he'll have opportunities. I can't wait
to see where the dominoes fall with some of these
because I think the one quarterback that makes the most
sense for just about anyone is Teddy Bridgewater because of you. Yeah,
(13:21):
I know he's come off the knee, but he's proven
that that part is fine and played so well. The
rest of it is all speculation with these veteran guys,
do they fit and do they adapt quickly? And can
we get it and put championship within three years like
Peyton Manning did with Denver? Do you think? What do you?
And I know you're down in the Orlando area and
there's a lot of Jamis Winston talks still because of
(13:42):
what he did at f s U and the fact
that he's at Tampa Bay. What are you picking up there?
I mean, Bruce arians basically said if we can win
with this guy, we can win with anybody. That's not
exactly an endorsement. It feels a little bit like maybe
they're going to franchise Jamis and say, Okay, let's let's
see if we find out the answer in the or six.
But Charles I came on and I said, look, and
(14:02):
I said, this is also advice for anybody out there
in a relationship. If you're with a guy and after
five years he's like, I'm still not really sure whether
you know this is the long range answer, you know
the answer, you're not the one, right. And I want
to put guys on blast out there. You've been dating
somebody five years and you're like, I'm and you know,
I'm not talking about if you started dating when you
(14:23):
were sixteen. I'm talking about like, you know, you're an adult,
you're you're you know, you know, upper twenties into your
early thirty something like that, and you're five years in
and your man saying, you know, I'm still not he's
he knows and you're not the one, right uh? And
so I feel like, after five years, if you don't
know if the guy's the answer at quarterback, you know
and the answer is no. But it seems like the
(14:45):
bucks may go six. What are you hearing? I'm hearing
similar to what you're hearing. But I think that what
you pointed out about Bruce arians what he said the
end of the year would make me very uneasy if
I and Jameis Winston's camp. Yeah, because Bruce's rejuvenated. Bruce's back.
He hoped that that he could make Jamie's work in
one year and at least show the signs that things
(15:07):
were changing. But it's the exact same issues it's been
for everyone else. Somewhere in Atlanta, dirt Cutters saying, see
you guys looked at me. It wasn't just me. It's
the same thing. And Jamis is very earnest. Jamis works
his butt off, he loves football, he cares, but for
whatever reason, he's not able to make the leap from Hey,
(15:28):
I can make big plays downfield when they're there, but
I know how to take the check down and take
care of the football. And it's the same thing. Look
at the press conferences. It does you take the year
off of it, it's almost the same one. I know
I have to do better. I know I have to
take care of the ball. I don't have to do
these things. And then you'll get games where you see it,
then you see it comes back again, and that's what
I think is really frustrated. Bruce arians sixteen games, and
(15:51):
by the end of the season it was the same
discussion they had when they first got together last offseason.
All Right, you said, I believe last question for you
that you expect for the home teams in the NFC,
for the forty Niners and the Packers to have some
good success and potentially advanced. Would you take the Ravens
and the Chiefs as well? Do you expect all four
home teams to be the final four in the NFL?
(16:12):
It's almost crazy to pick chalk and go to go
through this. I think that I am, and I'm feeling
a little bit crazy about it. The one that gives
you the most unease right now simply is Tennessee going
to Baltimore. I say uneased meaning I just think that
Tennessee has the right formula and they look like that
team that has the locked in momentum. And I love
(16:33):
their ability to run on defense. Again, being able to
get Lamar Jackson on the ground is difficult, but at
least they have guys who can dance with them in
the open field, and they can play assignment football like
you have to play on defense against him. With guys
who can run with a locked in veteran defense, I
think they're extremely dangerous. I know, I said, last question
but I do want to ask you about that, because
you're pretty good at the XS and os on on
(16:54):
defending Lamar Jackson. The Titans don't have a great pass rush,
Like there aren't guys that when they line up, you think,
oh my god, this team is gonna get seven or
eight sacks in a in a game. Is that sometimes
better for Lamar Jackson because if you're not rushing to
try and sack the quarterback, it's almost like you're rushing
(17:14):
to try to contain and make him uncomfortable, which it
seems like to me could be a little bit of
an advantage. In other words, if you've got too great
rush defensive ends, but they get up the field so fast,
they can open up running lanes, whereas it's almost like,
you know, they did it a couple of times to
Tom Brady, which you don't see very often. Even at
the end of the half, they were like, we're not
even gonna rush Tom Brady, We're gonna drop back and
(17:36):
play coverage. And they had two or three guys right
at the line even and even it may be a
little bit nervous, they let Brady throw into the end
zone to finish the first half. But they didn't really
come after him. It doesn't seem like the Titans have
the hey, we're gonna hit you in the mouth rush,
you know, big time sack top style defense. But is
that maybe an advantage against Lamar well around the league
(17:59):
when you're going to rush him and we had the
forty Niners game and they were the number one defense
at the time. Essentially, when it comes down to it
with Lamar Jackson, you say capture not kill, right, because
exactly what you talked about. Here's where I think the
Titans have something going for them because Baltimore still wants
to run the football with Ingram inside and that allows
(18:19):
Lamar too to pull the ball out on and get
to the perimeter. Jeffrey Simmons Darrell Casey have come up
huge for them down the stretch. And you saw the
plays on the goal line last week. Simmons blew people
up for Seawan Evans cleaned people up after that. That's
what you're counting on there, and and to your point,
(18:39):
that can help a little bit because now outside Harold Landry,
maybe you're not getting up deal, but you stand out
in the perimeter make it difficult for him. That's what
you're looking for keep him contained. And look, it's gonna
sound like an insult, that's not but you're going to
want Lamar Jackson to beat you with his arm, not
his legs, because if he shreds you with his legs,
he can do whatever he want with you with his arm.
(19:01):
But if you take away the legs or at least
contain them, he's got to be really good throwing the football.
That's what you're hoping that you can have an advantage
of not saying he won't shred you because he say
he can. He's capable, but you take that one as
opposed to letting him beat you with his legs. Outstanding stuff.
Has always enjoyed the games this weekend. Appreciate getting up
early with my man. Take care now, be good. Be
(19:22):
sure to catch live editions about Kicked the coverage with
Clay Travis week days at six am Eastern three am
Pacific as you're starting off your morning here on Tuesday,
Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach and Mike McCarthy,
and that has got me thinking something maybe a little
bit radical, maybe a little bit wacky, probably something you
haven't heard anybody else discuss. What about the Cowboys quarterback situation.
(19:47):
Dak Prescott still unsigned. His contract is up. The Cowboys
have the ability to sign him to an extension or
certainly to franchise him to avoid him hitting the open market.
Tom Brady's contract is also up. There are many other
quarterbacks whose contracts will be up shortly. But you've got
Tom Brady, You've got Dak Prescott, you got Philip Rivers,
(20:09):
Jamis Winston, Marcus Mariota, Eli Manning, uh A Cam Newton,
a Bevy Teddy Bridgewater, a bevy of quarterbacks who have
either one historically a lot of games, or have been
high enough around draft picks and have shown enough glimmer
(20:30):
of potential that there might be teams out there saying,
wait a minute, why couldn't we go find our own
version of Ryan Tannehill With what's going on with the
Titans this year, they went and found Tannehill as a
former first round quarterback on the scrap heap, brought him in,
plugged him in, and now they're in the final eight.
(20:51):
He's played fantastically. Well, there's gotta be somebody else out
there who could do that for us. One of the
things that greatness does is it makes you believe that
the great is easier to do than it actually is.
Tom Brady has won six Super Bowls and been to
nine of them in his career. That is absolutely insane. Meanwhile,
(21:15):
a team in his division, the Buffalo Bills. I'm sorry,
Buffalo and Upstate New York, but you guys have not
won a super Bowl. Sorry, I'm sorry. We know you
haven't won a super Bowl, but you haven't won a
playoff game in twenty five years. For most franchises, a
good year is getting to the playoffs and winning a
single playoff game. That is a high level of success.
(21:38):
Being in the final eight, being in the final four.
You don't even need to make the super Bowl. If
your team wins a couple of playoff games, or even one,
it's a really successful year. Look at what the Dallas
Cowboys have done since they won their last Super Bowl
since I believe the last team that they beat again,
(21:58):
I'm sorry, Buffalo, I think the last team that the
Dallas Cowboys beat him, my right, was the Buffalo Bills
back in I think I'm correct in that. I think
that was the uh the running the ball, that getting
the ball stripped away at the goal line play. I
think that was the last Cowboys the Berry Switzer Super Bowl?
Was that Leon Lett running when bb came up behind
(22:20):
him and knocked the ball away right before he was
gonna score. As leon Lett was celebrating, I think that
was the last Cowboy Super Bowl. You guys can confirm
if that's true, but I think it was back in.
Since that time, the Dallas Cowboys have won three playoff games,
none of them to advance to the NFC Championship Game,
(22:41):
all of them wild card rounds. Since the Dallas Cowboys
three wild card playoff wins, that's it, twenty five years
of football, three wild card wins. Mike McCarthy obviously has
won a Super Bowl. But the question that I have
(23:01):
for everyone out there, and I just put it up
on uh my Twitter feed at Clay Travis. You can
go vote who is more likely in the next two
or three years to win a Super Bowl? Tom Brady
as the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys or or is
(23:25):
it more likely that Deck Prescott as the quarterback for
the Dallas Cowboys could win the Super Bowl? Alright? Sorry,
the Cowboys beat the Steelers back in so it's been
a long time since the Bills won a one a
Super bowls got to a Super Bowl against Sorry Bills fans,
(23:47):
but it's been a long time since they want a
playoff game. My point here is we talked a lot
like when the Bills lost to the Texans. People said, well,
they haven't won us playoff game since, but the Cowboys
have only one three playoff games since that last Super
Bowl win in season. So who would do a better job?
(24:09):
And by the way, you may not think that Brady's
the answer, but with all of these available quarterbacks out there,
is there a guy you would rather have than Dak?
Are you convinced enough as a Cowboys fan or just
as a casual NFL fan that it makes sense to
give Dak Prescott a hundred million dollars plus with all
(24:30):
of the available guys out there. And I'm intrigued by
this question. How much of a market would Dak find
for himself if he were an unrestricted free agent? Somebody
would give him money. But how much money, how sought
after would Dak Prescott be on the free agent market?
And if you had a choice between that's the question
that I'm asking here right now, I'm gonna bring in
(24:51):
the crew. You have a choice between Tom Brady behind
that Dallas Cowboy offensive line, which basically a stone wall.
Pretty talented wide receivers. You can go out and you'd
resign a Mari Cooper, keep Michael Gallup, continue to develop
the talent that you have it tight end Jarman's pretty
solid player, seems to be coming into his own, a
(25:12):
little bit solid defense, a lot of good talent everywhere else.
You're able to keep everyone. But you go get Brady
instead of Dock, you don't commit that hundred million dollars.
Plus Let's say you go to Brady and you give
him fifty five or sixty million dollars for the next
two years guaranteed. Who's more likely to win you a
(25:34):
Super Bowl? Brady with the Cowboys or Dock with the Cowboys?
Danny G what do you think? My answer is, Brady
with the Cowboys is more likely to win a title
than Dock with the Cowboys is. And by the way,
the early votes coming in, who would you rather have?
I was curious because this is one of these fun
polls where I don't really know what the answer is
(25:55):
gonna be. Uh, thousands of you weighing in so far
and again you can find me at Clay Travis, lots
of opinions rolling in and Brady right now is winning
fifty six to among our voters. What do you think,
Danny G. Do you realize how much most Cowboy fans
love Dak Prescott? I mean, we know a lot of
(26:17):
Cowboy fans here in Cali because of how the team
first for years trained in Thousand Oaks and now Oxnard
and Dak Prescott he is like a god to most
Cowboys fans. He is the face of the franchise. He
deserves a new contract and extension. Is who's more likely
to win a Super Bowl the next two to three years? Well,
(26:38):
I wouldn't remove Dak. I wouldn't. Your answer has to
be Dak then, Well he had Yeah, he had the
best season of his career. So I'm kind of surprised
that you would want to replace me through for almost
five thousand yards and thirty t d s now the team.
It's not about replacing, it's about the question of My
concern is when you give somebody a hundred million dollar
(26:59):
plus contract, you have to be convinced that they are
the guy who can win a Super Bowl for you. Well,
the report, though, is that McCarthy really likes Deck, so
what's he gonna say? Yeah, but do you really want
to start off a new regime with a quarterback soap opera?
Because that's what would happen if you brought in Brady.
You think it's gonna be a soap opera to bring
in the greatest quarterback of all time? I mean, the
(27:19):
Dallas Cowboys are because because what if Brady what we've
seen the past couple of seasons, what if suddenly Dallas
can't score? I mean, that's the fear that could happen anywhere.
I don't write. But then you just did away with
a young, up and coming star in the league for
a guy who is on his last leg. Maybe, but
(27:40):
I think the question becomes, what is the ceiling for DAC?
What I'm saying is if your goal is if you're
seventy seven years old and you are Jerry Jones, and
it seems clear to me your goal is as a professional,
before I die, I want to win another Super Bowl.
You have won three re playoff games since Brady has
(28:04):
been to nine Super Bowls since two thousand. Okay, who
is more likely to get you back to the Super
Bowl in the next three years? Tom Brady or Dak Prescott.
That's my question. Maybe in eight years Dak Prescott is
going to be really good, and that's the risk you
would run here. But so what what do you think?
(28:28):
Dub This is really a tough question for me because
you look at Tom Brady and yes, he did not
have a good year this year, but you also look
at what surrounded him in New England and it really
wasn't a whole lot of talent, definitely not to the
level that the Cowboys have on their current roster. And
then you look at Dak Prescott and he seems to
be climbing and improving year after year. But to me,
(28:50):
I would say Dak Prescott. But neither of these guys
I would want in a thirty year, thirty million a
year capacity on my team, especially Prescott, Like I I
don't think I could give him one hundred million dollars tomorrow.
If I'm the Cowboys, I think their best option, in
my opinion, would be to use the franchise tag. And
I know because he's not gonna like that at all, right,
But so to Danny G's point, if you franchise tag
(29:13):
Dak Prescott, you were going to create a ton of
drama because you've only paid him two point seven million
dollars over four years. But I think that's the smart
financial decision because I just I don't know that you
can say, beyond the shadow of a doubt, hey, this
this is our guy. We're gonna give him a hundred
million dollars and the Cowboys they're gonna have around nine
(29:35):
million dollars in cap space for I think where they
really overspent was on Elliott. There's no doubt that's where
they missed. That's where they mismanaged their Also, keep in mind,
they're gonna have to sign a Marie Cooper to a
record breaking contract too, because his deal is up, So
that's a mistake. I don't I don't necessarily worry as
(29:55):
much about signing a Marie Cooper because you got him
for the next two or three years, and that's your
window that you think you have a chance to win
a Super Bowl. Arguably, that Cowboys really missed their window
with Dac because they didn't have to pay their quarterback
for the last four years, and now they're going to
have to pay him or it would be somebody else
(30:16):
a lot of money in order to be their quarterback.
Which is going to take away from what they can
spend elsewhere. So Dub, your answer is you don't feel
comfortable spending that much on either. Yeah, that's right. But
if I had to choose right now, my choice would
be to franchise Dad, give him one more year. Yes,
it probably would be a distraction, but it was kind
of a distraction this year, and he seemed to play
really well, So I think that would be the route
(30:38):
I would go. So you would say no to Brady,
that's right. I just don't feel comfortable the way he looked,
especially the last eight or nine games this year. I mean,
he was legitimately a bottom half quarterback in my opinion.
Eddie Garcia, what would you say? I'm I'm in a
step with Dub. I would uh franchise Dac and hope
that Mike McCarthy is enough to get the team over
(30:59):
the ump and you can win with what you've got there.
I just when when it goes, it goes quickly. And
I know that Tom Brady didn't have Zeke Elliott. I
know he didn't have a Marie Cooper and an offensive
line like the Cowboys have. I still though, um, I
didn't you know that You could say it was the weapons,
but I think it was also Tom Brady. All Right,
so let me take a step back on this franchise
(31:21):
deck angle. If I am representing Dak Prescott and he's
gonna have obviously the best agent's money can buy, I'm
not showing up at camp if I get franchised. And
my argument is going to be this. You set the
precedent with Ezekiel Elliott when he didn't even show up
while he was under contract, and you tore up his
(31:44):
existing contract and gave him a massive pay increase based
on the fact that you said he had outperformed his contract. Okay,
I have fulfilled all of the terms of my contract.
I didn't hold out. I played for virtually nothing. I've
only made in my entire career as the starting quarterback
(32:07):
for the Dallas Cowboys two point seven million dollars. And again,
I want everybody out there to hear that Dak Prescott
for the last four years played for the quarterback. And
I know he made money off the field and everything else,
but I'm talking about on the field play for around
what is that seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars a
year was what Dak made on average each of the
(32:30):
last four years. There are investment bankers that made a
ton more money. The UH Skip Bayliss makes six million
dollars plus to talk about the Dallas Cowboys on television.
There are offensive coordinators in college football who made twice
what Dak Prescott did to play football for the Dallas
(32:53):
Cowboys at quarterback, even notwithstanding that he served out his
entire tract. I'm telling him, and I'm telling the Cowboys,
I'm not showing up and I'm gonna pull a Levy
on Bell. If you are going to franchise tag me,
I will not show up. I want multi year guarantee.
(33:16):
So if you're talking about drama, I think that's probably
what the Cowboys should do, purely from a business perspective,
but purely from a business perspective. From Dak Prescott's UH side,
I would tell him, We're not showing up until you
give us a multi year extension. So if the franchise
tag is truly going to be dangled out, there is
(33:38):
a possibility for Dak. I'm saying I fulfilled the terms
of my contract that I played all four years wildly
underpaid as the quarterback for the Cowboys. I ain't showing up, Roberto.
What would you do here? Would do? Do Do you think
it's more likely to win a Super Bowl the next
two to three years with the Cowboys, Brady or Dak
(33:59):
none of those guys. But Brady's arms falling off. Brady's done.
Brady's done, So what I have to go with Dac? Unfortunately,
I'm not a big fan of Doc. I think he's
just like another Derek Hard type of player. I don't
think I don't think it's anyone anything for the Cowboys.
But but Brady's finished, He's done. I'll go with Doc.
Let's pull up for phone lines eight seven, seven nine,
(34:22):
six three six nine. I want you to think about that.
If you're going to franchise Doc, if you're not going
to give him a hundred million dollars plus guaranteed, I'm
telling you I would sit him out. But with all
of these different moving parts in free agency, which direction
would you go? While everybody seems to go Doc on
the show, it's rare that we have a disconnect here.
(34:44):
The public would go Brady, at least based on the
way that the votes are going so far, fifty six
percent of you say that you would go Tom Brady
over Dak Prescott in terms of which quarterback is more
likely to win a Super Bowl in the next two
to three years. Dak or Brady will take some of
your calls on this and the difficult situation already for
(35:08):
many teams. There's twenty four teams whose season is completely done,
eight still remaining. But of the twenty four that are done,
they're already beginning in earnest This analysis of the free
agent quarterback market as well as the potential draft quarterback market.
This is outkicked the coverage with Clay Travis. I think
(35:31):
we have somebody on the out kick v I P
what we got Danny G. Yeah, let's start with Ben
in Nashville. Ben, what you got for me? Hey? Um?
I can see Brady going to Dallas UM just because
Jerry joejes so about that instant gratification and needing to win.
I mean, he's getting so old on the facilities down
there like none other, and he's been nothing more than
(35:51):
the Jeff Fisher eight Nate squad. I can't see Dak
going to New England because Belichick UM gets decent guys
and other positions. I can see him signing one of
the big time quarterbacks and drafting somebody to learn underneath them.
You can't give Jak Prascott a hundred plus. No, you
get Patrick Mahomes that money. You can't get Dak de money. Yeah,
(36:12):
thanks for calling. I agree. I think Patrick Mahomes is
going to break the bank at the quarterback position, and
I am sold on him as being the future face
of the a f C. As Ben Roethlisberger, Peyton Manning
obviously and Tom Brady start to slide off into the sunset.
(36:35):
But I'm not sold on dec at all, which is
why you know, when I sit around and think about
this from pure business perspective, the play is to franchise Dac.
That is the undoubtedly the question and undoubtedly the that's
the solution to the difficulty for the Dallas Cowboys. I
don't want, if I'm Mike McCarthy or certainly Jerry Jones,
(36:56):
to tie myself down to Dak Prescott with the biggest
contract the history of the NFL. Now, partly it's not
a function of who the best is, it's whose contract
and when they come up. There's been a lot of
guys get big deals. Remember Matthew Stafford got a big deal.
We just had Jared Goff get a big deal and
everybody in media. Aaron Rodgers obviously got a big deal.
(37:17):
But that's a little bit different because I think most
people consider him to be quite a bit above. I mean,
Dak Prescott has won one playoff game in his tenure,
a wild card game last year against the Seahawks. The
Cowboys have won three playoff games in the last twenty
five years. Brady has has been to nine Super Bowls
(37:37):
during that time, and I think he could be available.
Does it make sense the poll question is up. If
you just had to answer this question, you're sitting around,
you're debating with your buddies. Who's more likely to win
a Super Bowl in the next two to three years
with the Dallas Cowboys, Dak Prescott or Tom Brady. And
by the way, your answer maybe neither, and that's certainly valid,
(38:00):
But I'm saying which one is more likely? Eight seven
seven six nine. Let's take some of your calls. Dub
who's up first? We got Jesse in California. Jesse, what
do you think? How are you doing? Clay? Thank you
for taking my call. H Honestly, uh, I think neither
of them. We are gonna would be able to win
a Super Bowl with the Cowboys. How however, hello, yeah
(38:25):
we're here. Okay, sorry, I'll get a feedback. However, I
do feel that Jack would be a better choice because
Brady is falling off. Um. The Patriots did look good
in the beginning half of the season, however, that's when
they weren't really playing good teams. I'm a Raven fan,
and once they played the Ravens and they started at
(38:47):
national good teams, they started getting demolished. Yeah, there's no
doubt down the stretch four and five for the Patriots.
And you could make the argument that's because partly Tom
Brady has become a decline. Argument in favor of Brady
would be look at his wide receiving corps and look
at the look at the talent that surrounded him, which
(39:09):
is why I think again, with that Dallas Cowboy offensive line,
which is as good as there is in the league.
With Ezekiel Elliott, who, by the way, I don't know
what's up with him, but certainly regressed in a big
way as soon as he got big money. And the
question is, given your situation right now, dak here here
(39:31):
are the scenarios right, Dak is going to want the
biggest contract that's ever been signed in the history of
any NFL player ever. That's what Dak is arguing he deserves.
That's what Dak's representatives are arguing he deserves. We want
more than what Jared Goff got. We want over a
hundred and ten million dollars guaranteed. We want a hundred
(39:54):
and twenty million, let's say, and we want a hundred
and twenty million guaranteed over the next three years. They
may want forty million a year guaranteed. That's crazy to me.
I think thirty five million dollars a year is crazy.
Dak on the open market, I would be surprised if
anybody would pay him more than twenty five million dollars
(40:18):
a year. It's a lot of money, but I'd be
surprised if anybody would give him more than that. The Cowboys,
He's gonna want the biggest contract that anybody's ever signed.
For Tom Brady, I think you could probably get him
two years guaranteed fifty or fifty five million dollars. I
don't think Brady's trying to break the bank. I think
he wants to win another Super Bowl. I think he
(40:38):
wants to know that the team's committed to him for
at least two years. And if you had that option,
and the Cowboys may well have that option, which one
do you like more? Who's up? Next? Up? We got
Eddie in Texas. Eddie, what you got? Good morning? Now
I'll take uh Sack, I mean Zack. Yeah. Over Mr
(40:59):
one er Fuld who has yogurt and shark fins soup
every morning. He's done. He can't, he can't do the
things you have to do as a quarterback. But with
his arm, I don't care who he has on the
out side, you still got a twenty five yard out
and I don't think Brady is able to do that consistently.
Over to you know, sixteen game schedule in NFL. You
(41:20):
know what they really need in Dallas is my boy
down and and in Houston they need that kind of
quarterback and Doc is not that. But your question is
I'll take Doc and and give a rejuvenated Mike McCarthy
who's been studying all these quarterbacks and he's been uh
trying to up his offense a little bit to join
the rest and done some r pos and stuff. So
(41:43):
I'd like to give them to a chance. I don't
know what kind of money he's gonna get, but I
think I think that's probably the best choice for Jerry Jones.
You could you believe Jerry Jones and Tom Brady getting along?
Oh my god, I'd love it. I would love to
see Tom Brady down in Dallas. It would be the
best thing that could happen for the NFL to put
all that drama in one place. But to be fair
(42:05):
to Brady, there hasn't been a lot of drama over
the years that has surrounded Brady, and maybe that's one
thing he wouldn't like about the Cowboys. I I just
I can't get over the Cowboy That stat doesn't get
enough attention that the Cowboys in twenty five years have
won three wild card games. I mean, there are kids
right now listening to this podcast, listening to this live
(42:28):
radio program who are twenty five years old who have
never seen the Cowboys play a divisional round playoff game,
not an a f C NFC, not an NFC championship game,
not a Super Bowl. There are twenty five year old
that have never seen the Dallas Cowboys play in the
(42:49):
divisional round of the playoffs. I mean, think about how
wild that is to advance, sorry, beyond the divisional round
of the playoffs to the NFC Championship game. There are
thirty year old kids who have no recollection, and thirty
year old kid is a broad definition. There are thirty
(43:10):
year olds out there who have no recollection of the
Dallas Cowboys ever actually playing in an NFC championship game.
Who's up next? Up? We got Mark in Ohio? Mark?
What do you think, hey, Clay enjoy the show? Um
is a lifelong Cowboys fan. I totally agree with you.
I would dump that press Scott to me, he's Tony
(43:32):
Romo life, a lot of big numbers and great plays
every now and then. But really did any Cowboys fans
everything Romo was going to win him a Super Bowl?
I don't think so. And I see Jack the same life.
I would get Brady in a heartbeat. Um. You know,
I don't think don't to bother him a bit. I
mean he can tuote that noise out at his stage
with his experience, just come in and play football and
(43:53):
with the assets around him. I disagree with the guys.
I don't think the arm solely shot. I mean, you know,
it sounds weird. But I think if he had Tom
Brady managed the games for you well, not make the
critical mistakes at the critical times, I would take him
for two or three years, draft the quarterback, agreeing that
guy for your quarterback in the future, and go from there.
I just don't seek that getting us the super Bowl. Ever, Yeah,
(44:16):
who's up next? We got John and Dayton? John, what
do you think I should go with Tom Brady? I
know makes say his arm might be shut, but when
it all comes down to I think he can manage
the game better than what that could. So that's why
I would take I just I think that is just
junk really, and I don't think he should get paid million.
(44:39):
But I agree with you maybe. I think that's the
challenge people. You need to consider all of the sort
of the chessboard of of the decision making here for
the Cowboys. And now that you've got Mike McCarthy in place,
he's obviously going to be a big part of this
decision making. But assuming the you're not going to let
(45:01):
a Mari Cooper walk, because that would be a disastrous decision.
I think having given up, where do they give up
the number five overall pick, basically for a Mari Cooper.
If I'm not mistaken, I'm really high draft pick. Right,
you've already and you only would have had him for
two years, right ish, two full years. That's a disastrous
(45:22):
decision to allow him to walk. So you have to
pay him. And so if you're going to pay him,
your window is the next two to three years. And
then all this talent that you have on the Cowboys
is going to continue to turn over and you're gonna
have to go back and get younger. So the window
to win a Super Bowl for the Cowboys I believe
the next two to three years. Now, arguably it was
(45:43):
the past two to three years too, when you had
a starting quarterback who was costing you virtually nothing. You
had a tremendous competitive advantage and you weren't able to
take advantage of that. And now you're gonna have to
pay him a big time deal. We'll take some more
of your calls eight seven seven nine, six three six nine.
You can weigh in. This is outkicked the coverage with
(46:07):
Clay Travis joined now by Petros Papadakis at the Old
p on Twitter A M five seventy l A sports
how It's vacation it was good. Thanks for letting me
have some time off. Yeah, you're welcome. Where are you Hawaii? No? No,
I just I just kicked around in California, went to
(46:28):
h Rancho Mirage, which is like the Palm Springs Desert area. Yeah,
and that was that. How are you, Clay? No complaints? Um?
I am intrigued to see what's gonna happen. I'm celebrating
my Tennessee Titans being into the Elite eight area the
divisional round of the NFL playoffs. Uh. And have you
deleted all your anti Mike Vrabel tweets or are those
(46:50):
still up there? No? I don't delete any tweets. They're
all still out there. But I use Twitter as an
emotional medium during during the games. Uh. Speaking of an
emotional medium, what do you think about this idea that
Tom Brady might come to l A. Do you buy it?
I know you've got Brady since back in the day
when you guys were on recruiting trips together. Oh. I
(47:11):
never took a recruiting trip with Tom Brady, but I
met him in college because his first baseman was in
high school at San Mateo Sarah High School, which is
where he went to school, which is where Barry Bonds
and Lynn Swan went to high school. But he played
(47:32):
baseball with a guy from there who played at USC.
So he would visit that guy and the guy would
try to trick him off on us because he was
such a nerd, you know, he was like, Hey, hang
out with these football guys. You know, these USC football guys.
They're pretty cool. And obviously Brady was just a concave
chest dork. I mean, it's a good quarterback. He was
(47:55):
playing at Michigan, for God's sakes. I mean, you don't
get recruited to Michigan being a staff. But he certainly
he's the same guy he as now, which is a
gigantic tool who is a great, very very long tenured
football player, maybe the greatest quarterback of all time. But yeah,
I think it's a pretty distinct possibility that he could
(48:16):
become an l A Charger, which is really interesting to
say goodbye to Philip Rivers and old and at the end.
But it's you know, I said this yesterday on the show.
You know, it's kind of like dumping Judy Dench for
Helen Mirren. You know, you're you're, you're, you're, You're still
hanging out with the geriatrics. But it'll fill that stadium
(48:39):
at least with interest to start out the Charge. And
they have, as my radio partner pointed out, who also
full disclosure, happens to be the voice of the Chargers.
You know, they have great perimeter weapons. You know, I
don't know how their a line is, but Keenan Allen
and Williams and Hunter Henry and and they probably franchise
Melvin Gordon. Me they got a lot of guys to
(49:01):
put around him that that look a lot different than
the New England scale people right now. Not only that,
it the big issue to me is and I think
your analogy is a good one. You're going from an
older quarterback to an even older quarterback, and I would
say that it immediately makes the Chargers relevant. However, how
(49:22):
much do you think that factors in here with just
needing to cut through the noise? And it's an interesting
It's it's almost like one of these, uh, one of
these experiments that we always had like, well, what would
happen if you just replaced uh, Tom Brady with Philip Rivers?
Like how good would the Chargers actually be? We might
actually get a test case on that you know, it's
(49:42):
it is really interesting because it will obviously drive stories
for the entire offseason, but it could be the same
pathetic you know photograph years later of O. J. Simpson
in a forty Niners uniform or Johnny Unitis and a
Chargers Uni Tanna Chiefs uniform. Hey, he took them to
(50:02):
the playoffs. Dare you they won a playoffs game? How
dare you? Damn? It? Would it would feel weird right
to see Brady suddenly in a Charger's uniform. Now, honest,
if he did what Joe Montana did with Marcus Allen
and Barry Word and whoever with the Chiefs, that would
(50:24):
be a huge success, you know, when the division or
whatever and take them to the playoffs, that would be huge.
You know, that's a positive retirement transfer before retirement story,
so to speak. Uh. You know something interesting I heard
about the Tom Brady Bill Belichick relationship that I'd never
really thought about before, and it really speaks to how
(50:47):
diabolical Bill Belichick could be, which is Tom Brady wanted
to go to the forty Niners. You know, that's his team,
That's who he grew up idolizing. The aforementioned Joe Montana
and Bill bell A check traded Garoppolo there, and some
people thought that that was an f you to Brady
because like, oh, we're going to sit in your guy,
(51:08):
that guy you can't go there. Yeah, that's it, he's
their guy. Now you can't. You know, the timing doesn't
work out. Now, that closes that door. Uh, I mean,
there'll be a lot of theories out there. I'm sure
he'll probably just end up going back to the Patriots.
But the l A thing is real. Uh, it could
be very short lived. He could be exploded on the
very first play of the game, right down the A gap.
(51:30):
But uh, there's not a lot of one football players
that you could introduce that would change the narrative of
the franchise, right Clay, Oh no, I mean and and
also at the same time that you're moving into a
brand new stadium. Yeah, I mean, it totally makes the
Chargers relevant in a Charger negativity. You know, it reminds
(51:53):
talking about it reminds me a little bit of uh,
you know when and I'm not saying that that anywhere
near Philip Rivers is as beloved as Tim Tebow was
with the Broncos, But I still think John Elway doesn't
get enough credit for how adroit that move was when
he was basically caught in tebow Mania and the only
(52:15):
way he could replace tebow Mania was with a bigger mania,
and it was Peyton Manning Mania, and he went and
got Peyton Manning and then he just kind of let
Tim Tebow go, and Tebow just vanished and Peyton Manning,
what you know, had four really good years with the
Denver Broncos, culminating in a Super Bowl. If you could
let Philip Rivers go to the extent, there are still
people who are all in on Philip Rivers, and I
(52:36):
don't think there are that many of those people with
Chargers fans. But it immediately disappears because you bring in
a bigger, more luminescent star, and everybody goes immediately into
Tom Brady media. Right. Everybody basically leaves the still warm
corpse of Philip Rivers before burying it to worship at
the feet of Tom Terrific. Somebody sent me, uh mal
(53:00):
a boo Brady. That's pretty good. Yeah, that is pretty good. Now,
So here's a question for you that we debated on
the show this morning, and it's our poll question. So
Dak Prescott is an unrestricted free agent that can be franchised.
Brady is an unrestricted free agent that can't be franchised. Right, So,
in theory, if you're Jerry Jones and you're now the
(53:22):
new coach Mike McCarthy, you can be looking around the
entirety of the NFL landscape if you had to pick
for the next two or three years, only who's more
likely to win a Super Bowl with the Dallas Cowboys
if they're the quarterback Dak Prescott or Tom Brady. Dude,
he's like, he's my age Brady. Yeah, yeah, No, Well
(53:46):
you're just talking about him joining the Chargers. So, I
mean I didn't say it would work, and I said
it was a conspiracy theory, but I mean there's a
slippery slope here. And I know Peyton Manning had some
great year to Denver and won a Super Bowl, and
I mean that's a huge success story. But man, did
he look old and Brady looks old. I mean he's old. Uh,
(54:11):
it's hard for me to imagine him competing at that level. Again,
I mean, the so you think the dynasty is like
the Titans in your mind ended the Belichick Brady Dynasty
on Saturday Night. I think so to me, they did,
but I could be wrong. I mean, Brady has been
proven people wrong for the last four or five years.
(54:33):
But I really think that that the most cosmetic move
and the one that makes the most sense if he
is going to move, is Los Angeles too, because nobody
needs him more and they need him Ballast needs to
win championships and go to the playoffs, you know, otherwise
everything is a massive failure. You know, the Chargers just
(54:54):
need to change the story when and that this would
do that. What do you think? Okay, so the other
news is to came back. Uh sorry, To is not
going to come back. He's gonna go pro. Where do
you think To ends up going? Do you think he'll
ultimately still be a top ten pick? That's what other
(55:14):
big question we've been debating. Yeah, yeah, I do. I
mean medics, medicine has changed since the Bo Jackson thing.
That's so such a stupid comparison. Yes, I mean, let's
talk about gayl Sayers knee, you know, let me come on.
Uh so, I mean, you know, it's just a different
time and and young people bounce back in a certain way.
(55:34):
And I'm sure he's gonna be okay. I mean, he'll
have pain later in life, but he's gonna be He's
gonna be a top pick and he's going to be
a successful quarterback in the pros. He's he's a very
very special player. So I think he'll be fine. And
I think so one of these franchises, whoever it is,
that needs a quarterback, you know, or maybe the Chargers,
(55:56):
you know, yeah, because that would that would be a
you know, if you can't get Brady, and I mean
too is probably a lot better for your long term
and all that on the field, So that might be
something that they're interested in as well. I mean, somebody's
gonna trade for him or pick him and make him
their franchise. Guys don't believe that. Yeah. Talking to Petros
at the Old p on Twitter a m f l
(56:18):
A Sports, did you think it was weird that Mike
McCarthy spent the night at Jerry Jones's house. No, I
mean it would be weird if Mike McCarthy spent the
night at my house because I have like four bedrooms. Yeah,
but are you it's I spend the night at people's houses, guy,
Like I'm a hotel guy like I would rather stay
in a hotel if I'm going to be out of town,
then stay at somebody's house, right. I don't stay at
(56:40):
people's houses very often at all. I sleep with a mask,
as you know, with a tube. And I'm allergic to dogs,
like really really allergic to dogs and cats, so I
can't be around them. I like dogs and cats, but
I just can't really be around him. I'm like, you know,
remember Hall Peifer from The Wonder Years with the inhaler
(57:02):
and all. Yeah, I'm a lot like you know me,
I'm a lot like that, So just best for me
to be away from everybody as as soon as possible
in the hotel room. So that but you didn't, I
seem to me, that's just like it was kind of
a wacky detail that he ends up staying at his house.
Not that they didn't they go out to dinner, They
could even dine at the house has a staff though,
(57:23):
like a hotel. Yeah, that's well, I mean Jerry Jones
has a chef Deny, right, He's probably got three or
four or five housekeepers. He's he's I don't know what
a butler. I don't know if they have that in Texas.
Maybe like a ranch ranch hand you know, yeah, I'm
kind of curious. It made me wonder what Jerry Jones's
(57:44):
house is actually like, more so than anything else. I
would say sprawling, ranch style, uh, one story, but you know,
probably fifteen to twenty thousand square feet. I would say
there's at least one sunken bar. Yeah, you know, obviously
a trophy room. Yeah, I mean I would love to
(58:05):
see this house. Wife is really into art, yeah, so
you know there's got to be some crazy art all
over the place. I mean, it's not like staying at
my house, right, which you know, my wife, my wife
and daughter and son and me starts screaming at each
other at four in the morning because somebody inevitably wakes
up and starts pissing everybody off. Yeah, I know that feeling.
(58:25):
Trust me. We're finally getting through that era where now
when people go to bed, they can just stay in bed,
which is a nice Isn't it fun to like there's
somebody like so adorably cute and like and you're just
like in there, like face to face at three in
the morning. So I don't have to do that now
because my my youngest is five, so like they go
(58:46):
to bed and they actually stay in bed. And now
we're getting too that era where like my oldest is
about to be twelve, and sometimes I'm like, is he
still sleeping? You know, like it's like nine o'clock. I'm like,
I'm jealous of him, but i mean, how's he still
in bed? We will talk to you next week. Petro's
