of twenty twenty Steve Hutchinson. Take us back to that moment.
What were your emotions, like, did you anticipate it? How
was that like for you?
Speaker 7 (02:29):
Yeah, my my publicist who I've been with my entire
career has never been to my house in Nashville once
all of a sudden shows up.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
But I was literally I was out chatted back.
Speaker 7 (02:40):
I was out back working on our chicken coop and stuff,
you know. And after after being on there four times
and being rejected, You're like, Okay, we started to get
the timeline down to where if I haven't gotten told.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
No yet, maybe there's a yes coming this year.
Speaker 7 (02:53):
So yeah, I guess my wife gives me a craft too,
because she's like you. Everybody thought I was gonna be
more emotional, more excited.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
I'm not.
Speaker 7 (02:58):
I don't really, I don't know, and I guess I'm
not that sentimental and certain when it comes to football,
at least that.
Speaker 9 (03:03):
I tell everybody.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
I was teathing there, but I actually a little uset.
I was gonna make them knock five times because that's
how long they made me.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Made me wait. So I didn't.
Speaker 7 (03:09):
I didn't get to an act by revenge.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
But it's a cool deal.
Speaker 7 (03:14):
It was so cool and uh but the funny part.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Is no joke.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
We you know, we were we got to we were
in our daily lives, right, So my kids had volleyball
in a couple of hours, and they come in, they barge,
and they got cameras. They're trying to set up everything,
and I was like, hold up, we're trying to make
dinner here. We got we got volleyball prices to get to.
You guys just got to get this move and I
got life to get back to.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
Nice to ask your questions.
Speaker 9 (03:35):
I was like, you better put that.
Speaker 7 (03:36):
That better be I've been a respike from cider, I
got a forty minute drive.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
I got priorities.
Speaker 7 (03:44):
Yeah, but it was so humbling, it's so cool. It's
such a great Uh, it's such a great honor. You know,
I've said that the whole time. It's you know, even
even on the years I didn't make it and your
frustrations lie it it's never, it's never with the jacket.
The jacket is such a great respect. Sometimes, you know,
guys get frustrated with the process. Uh, but you know,
Chris Carter's actually giving me some really good advice throughout
my uh my career and life. And you told me
(04:05):
once he said, you know, we think you're done playing
play two more right, And so I got to busted
out fives for that.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
So I appreciate that, Chris.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
And then you know, I know, you know, Chris, Chris
had a way a while for his gold jacket too.
And so you know, you have the first ballot finalists
and then you know, year three four comes along, you
don't get in. And Chris told me said, man, you know,
once once you get in, all that goes away. You know,
you know, no one cares how long it took you
to get there. And he was and he was right right.
You start to focus on the uh, you start to
focus on the Uh, I'm not on that process, you know.
(04:36):
Now you just focus on on the new class you're in,
on the teammates and getting to talk to you know,
talk with with all the class members or my current
class members all in all the Hall of famers, and
you start talking, you know, talking about stories and in
the league and all that stuff, and uh, it really
becomes a focus of you know, enjoying each other's careers
and not worrying about the whole process.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
So, uh, it really changed your perspective. And it's been it's.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
Been a fun right, that's absolutely awesome.
Speaker 10 (05:02):
I'm sure that that fellowship and brotherhood and that hof
class must.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Be very special. Man, you know it took you one
hundred and thirty six sacks to get there.
Speaker 10 (05:10):
While it is an individual statistic, it's always a team effort.
You know, you play with some great defensive players, Antoine Winfield,
Pat Williams, you know who do you share this honor
with all of them?
Speaker 7 (05:20):
To be honest with you, you know, speaking of Antoine, you
know if he's watching this, bunty chance, I need to
get a hold of that guy. So no, I you mentioned,
you mentioned just a brief number of guys right there
that that are fantastic and I unfortunately player, but I
think I can count it back. I think I've played
(05:40):
with seven Hall of famers, you know, between the Chiefs
and uh the biking is alone, and uh, you know
I've learned so much from every single one of those guys.
You look at Kevin Williams, Pat One, they said, Antoine Winfield.
I mean, guys like that, ty Lob make it so
easy to rush the pastor because you don't have to
feel shut down right.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Again, I share it.
Speaker 9 (05:59):
I share it with all of them, I really.
Speaker 7 (06:01):
Do, and I'll be I'll be even more happy when guys,
you know, Kevin william I think he's one hundred percent
deserving be in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (06:08):
That guy's career when you go luck and look at it,
is phenomenal. And you know, when I got to Minnesota,
you know you're thinking, here I am, but it became
the highest paid player and defense or it fell a
history from a defensive standpoint, and you're going to walk
into the room with some respect.
Speaker 9 (06:21):
And first they told me.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
Is, hey, we played the run around here, you better
get your tack the game up.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
And I'm like, what, He'll didn't see me in Kansas City.
So that was a brotherhood we have.
Speaker 7 (06:33):
It was it was competition every single day. That's why
I tell people it wasn't I wasn't trying to be
the best in the league. I was just trying to
be the best of my d line room and that
and that took me higher to higher highs than I
can ever imagine.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
I love that. I'm very much looking forward to see, like,
will there be a mullet coming at the Canton and Truma.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
Just just just putting out there never leaves.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
You know.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
I love a good mullet.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
It's great.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
But tomorrow you're taking over the NFL network. Tell us
a little bit about it and what are we going
to see?
Speaker 7 (06:59):
Oh, you know what, this good thing reminded me of
that because I think we did this like a month ago,
you know, So hopefully you'll see just some you know,
some authentic me, you know, some cool interviews. I have
picked a couple of games that I think people would
like that I liked, and so yeah, really just kind
of a compilation of my twelve years put into one
(07:22):
and hopefully some entertaining interviews, highlights and all that fun stuff.
Speaker 9 (07:27):
I tried.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
I try not to take the game of football.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
Too serious, and ye.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
That it looks like it worked out.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Is that how you got about fifteen seconds answer this question, Jared?
Is that how we're going to see your Hall of
Fame speech come in that? Don't don't take it too seriously.
Speaker 7 (07:40):
Yeah, seeing how I haven't written anything yet, probably right
whereabout it is where I'm at now. I got some
I got some bullet points, and I think the Hall
of Fame is a little nervous right now because they
know they want they want structure.
Speaker 9 (07:51):
And I'm like, Brian got this.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
We're good football football.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
So we're a week away from the teams reporting to
training camp.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
We're going to grab the cap of.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
The team whose storyline that we are most intrigued by.
Speaker 6 (08:16):
You get to go first on this one. And what
are who are you looking for? Giants?
Speaker 5 (08:21):
Okay, yes, I will pass my neighbor this New York
Giants hat.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
Bestiees, I'm the most perfect mom on the planet about.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Another bee at a.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Certain way, we're the besties over here.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
What's the question?
Speaker 6 (08:32):
I just said it. What grabbed the cap of the storyline?
Speaker 4 (08:34):
By the story?
Speaker 6 (08:35):
Intriguing story I got to this.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
I still think about Manti's house. This is a good
house to be a part of.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Right now to the New York Giants, I like the
storyline going into the New York Giants. Obviously with the
pressure of Brian Dabon Joe Shane, they're on the hot seat.
I mean, I think that's an understandment about what the
hot seed is for them. Now they go and get
Jackson Dart. The storyline to me that is the most
intriguing as this does Jackson Dart start on day one?
If he doesn't, how long do you keep him on
(09:05):
the bench? Brian Daboll, do you play Russell Wilson? Do
you play Jamis? And if those two start doing well,
do you just stash Jackson Dart for the twenty twenty
five season? If those two don't do well, how long
do you keep Jackson Dart on the bench? Do you
wait till it later in the season so that you're
on an uptick going into the season into the twenty
(09:27):
twenty six season. That's the storyline that I'm going to
be inclued in on.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I'm going to go with this because so brow I
have set as my homepage like I have set the
Cleveland Browns websites depth chart.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
I'm so fascinated by.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
This because I want to know what the hell they're going.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
To do at quarterback.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
You know the deal they got Deshaun Watson kind of
Flacko Piket, two different rookies.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
I've done the research. Sorry, So the Brown's website, they.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Don't release their twenty twenty five web depth chart yet.
So you go to the broadcast partners, right all right,
CBS has them like all piled up over on the end.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
They're not committing.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
ESPN doesn't even have Shedur Sanders on the depth chart
because it only goes four deep in their format.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
So I'm sitting here refreshing thee Browns.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Dot Com like I'm trying to get Taylor tickets or
something like, I'm just so eager, refreshed, refreshed. So when
they first dropped that one, I am so fascinated to
find out where in the holy hell that these guys
lined up, because they could do Quarterback Season three just
on the Browns room, and I feel like I wish
they wouldn't.
Speaker 8 (10:30):
Yeah, for me, it's the Dallas Cowboys and hopefully I
can find them.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Oh here they go? Yeah, how about them? Caw a
bottom and the bottom line of stars.
Speaker 8 (10:38):
With Brian shot in the hammer, can't he bring fresh energy?
I got a big old mask got head.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Oh yeah, at you, But can't he bring candy? Bring
fresh energy?
Speaker 8 (10:47):
It really get this team back to playing elite football.
You gotta understand this team was seven to ten last year,
but they didn't quit. They still fought tough through every
game in the season.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Valley, it was ugly.
Speaker 8 (10:58):
They got rid of Mike McCarthey, but Brian, excuse me,
Brian Shottenheimer, he was gonna have to established a run game.
They got a young officive line. They could have went
running back early. They went office line they got Tyler
Booker out of Alabama, and on top of that, Dak Prescott.
He's a new man, he's a father, he's a husband,
and he's a thirty two year old quarterback coming off
a hamstring. How can they protect him? How can they
(11:20):
establish a run game, and how can they bring new
energy into the building. Because I'm gonna be honest with you,
the Dallas Cowboys on my dark horse. I see this
team playing a lot better with the addition to George Pickens.
Now you have CD Lamb, you have a tight end.
This team could be a lot better, and they it
will be better for this upcoming season.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
I feel like calling the Cowboys of dark horses an oxymoron.
It just feel like it shouldn't ever exist, no matter what.
They are the brightest horse in the race, and you
always are keeping an eye on it no matter But
I hear what you're saying.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Rely, I grab.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
I wasn't gonna play, but I couldn't not grab. After
seeing Brian Dable, we know what he always looks like
on camera.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Now we're seeing we know it's Tafanski.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Always looks like we're looking at Schottenheimer with the backwards visor.
I'm going to go with the Las Vegas Raiders as
my most intriguing storylineating camp because once Pete Carroll going
to get into did he have like an assistant coach
or a trainer inside like a bubble that was like
flying around at mandatory mini camp. He's wrestling players during
the stretch lines. I need him to drop the skincare routine.
(12:16):
The man is in his what mid seventies.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
Or what is he?
Speaker 5 (12:19):
I don't even know how old he is, and he
looks like he's a spry thirty six year old. I
am fascinated by the coaches in the AFC West, but specifically.
Speaker 6 (12:26):
I want to know what's going on with the Las.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
Vegas Raiders and their rookie running back and Gino Smith's
revival two point zero maybe, so I'm going with the
Raiders for most intriguing storyline out of training Camp. Love
that James Megan topic no cap, grab the cap of
the player or coach that you would want to hear
miked up footage of at training camp. Manti is actively
searching for I believe a baby blue cap.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Okay, guys, you know that friend that has that laugh
that is so contagious that you don't even know what
he's laughing at. You just start laughing already. For me,
if I was to listen to somebody, I want to
be entertained, and I want to know number one, what
he says, because it's so it's so entertaining. If you
ever listened to Xavier Legett, have you ever listened to
him talk?
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Yes? Hell yeah, I if he was miked up, screw
the play.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
I wouldn't even care about his.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Catches, his touchdowns, how fatty runs, how big the guy is.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
I just want to listen to this guy talk.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Anything he says to me with that twang, because I
have a little twang too.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
Yeah, you got something.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
It's just so entertaining to me.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Look look look at that. Look at that.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
He is an entertaining player to listen to. And he said,
he just reminds me of that friend that got that
that hysterical laugh.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Jerry A.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Toucher was a teammate of mine at the Chargers, and
he had one of those laughs.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Xavier Legette, to me.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Has one of those twangs where no matter what he says,
it's gonna be hilarious.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Yeah. For me, it's the Minnesota Vikings and JJ Orphy.
Speaker 8 (13:53):
I'm excited about JJ because he's falling into the right situation.
You have Jordan Addison, you have excuse me, justin Jefferson's
t J Hawkinson, you got understand the Vikings said goodbye
to Aaron. I just said, we don't want your services
here because we got a young man we believe in
and we believe that he can be the future for
the Minnesota Vikings. This team is ready to win now,
and they put the franchise on this young man's back.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
We understand that right now with the.
Speaker 8 (14:16):
Brian Flores defense, this office line.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Run game.
Speaker 8 (14:19):
JJ McCarthy's walking into a perfect situation. Well, all he
has to do is play quarterback. He's been given the
keys to the poors. Just don't crash it, young man,
and if he's able to do that, he's going to
shock the world.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
So I'm intrigued by his storyline.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
That's a good answer because we want to get to
know him. A very important player in the league this year,
JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
So we're going to get to know him.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
It gets an answer just because it's just funny, Like
I would love to see that. I would love it,
Like I used to watch peaky blinders, and they would
have to have subtitles sometimes because you can understand what
they're saying.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
They're speaking English.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Like That's what I would love for the GET, But
I'm going to go with the third archetype. I want
someone who just talks so much, bleep, NonStop, always running
his mouth, always looking at start fights.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Give me Daniel Jones.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Mike up just like absolutely person a bluesting, No, not
at all. I want to see what Daniel Jone set.
Imagine if you mike Daniel Jones up and it was
just wow, like it's all I didn't know you talked
like this was all like f bombs and like political
takes and all this controversial stuff. Maybe Daniel Jones has
this thing deep inside him where he's taken so much
stuff he's just ready to explode. And he's in a
(15:19):
quarterback competition now in a new city and he's trying
to make a new reputation. Is it really just as
as Gollie g Huckleberry as I think it is, or
does he really have like an edge to him?
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Does he have any edge?
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Does he have any like getting the guy's face at all?
Because he has looked at as such a boy scout.
I want the tape to reof that's true or not.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
Oh man, Okay, I'm just sitting here.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
I'm thinking about the fact that Daniel Jones has a scepter,
and I just can't believe that that level of anger
you ever qualified him for an anger run segment, let
alone win it and to be give to it to
him internationally. And Kyle, as I remind you again that
interaction that I had with him in which I bestowed
upon him the scepter in Germany, it was went exactly
how you thought it would. And let's just say the
micd up version was probably just as awkward as you.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
Can imagine it.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Grab the cap of the player that you would love
to be roommates with at training camp. Now, as what
I have heard from former players, Manti is at like
training camp, you kind of start to get on each
other's nerves, and like is August and you're at some
college dormitory, so like you got to be very specific
and you got to be selective about which roommate you
have during training camp.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I'm definitely selected, Jamie. I'm definitely selective of this person
because I did go to a training camp with him.
He is one of my best friends. I know his
wife Lindsay, his son Cooper, his daughter Carter, even his
dog Sammy. His dog and my dog were the best
of friends. So that would be Alex Anzeloni the Detroit Lions.
There was a clip that I had talked about Habachi
(16:44):
k but you mentioned earlier Hibachi in the middle of
in the beginning of our show, I had a video
of look at that. I had a video of me
and I called his nickname for me was Blanco. I
just called him Blanco nick. I had a clip of
me and Blanca at a Hibachi type restaurant and he
caught ten straight shrimp in his mouth, and that's My
(17:04):
wife is like, I'm gonna throw this to the producers
and have them play it in and she's like, that's not.
Speaker 9 (17:08):
A good idea.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Oh, that's that's against the bro code.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
So I didn't send them.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I didn't send it to McLean because I didn't want
people to think, oh, why would you want him to
be a roommate. I wanted to be my room because
he's my brother.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
I love him.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
That's my dog brought and so I would I would,
I would want Alex Anzeloni to be my.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
Incredible eye to mouth coordination as well. That's goods, yeah
from me.
Speaker 8 (17:32):
I'm staying in New York. I'm going with Famous Jameis Winston.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
He's a riot.
Speaker 8 (17:36):
He's the type of guy that would read me a
Goosebumps book and we could play shadow puppets.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
So I appreciate I appreciate Famous Jamis.
Speaker 8 (17:45):
He's he's gonna keep me happy during the dog days
of camp. And also what I love about him, he
loves them dubs, really likes to win. He likes to
eat them dumbs. So I'll be stacking them dubs, eating
them dubs.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
With Jameis Winston.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (17:58):
And I can't imagine where he'll get me to watch man.
I missing detriaut about everything that goes on and what
comes out of his So Jameis Winston, I would love
for him to be my room.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
That would be the loudest room, the loudest room. Oh
my god, So.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Willie Willie training camp physically exhausting, right of course, mentally exhausting.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
At the end of the day. You want to come
back to that.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
You want screaming and doves and all that that you
don't you want to break.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
I want the spirit. You.
Speaker 8 (18:28):
You got to keep it hot, you keep it a
high from your family.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
You're away from the wife. You need somebody to keep
you motivated.
Speaker 8 (18:34):
Keep that batter in your back, and you quarterback. O.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Long relationship is import That's true. I want to get
to know my guy.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
There's only one man for my job, and you, guys,
all is Marcus Mariota.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
That's my roommate. Sit there, shut up, don't say anything.
I want silence.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
I want a roommate who's neat, who's courteous, who's polite,
who doesn't want to talk to me, who I don't
want to talk to you.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
I don't even know if Marcus Mariota is there. I
don't care.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
I want to come back to the room at the
end of the day, much like after this show.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
I want the opposite of James. I don't want to
ob to say anything. Flack would be great too.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Blacko's a big guys, a little older, you know what.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Flack of might be good, probably the best for you.
Flack On might be good, but I.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Think he is a little more to say than Marcus Mariota,
who just I think is just sitting there in silence
doing sudoku.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Or the knitting or something that's my perfect dream man.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
I've answered Marcus Mariota for fifty questions like this. Even
when he retires, I will still always say to Mariota
because what is the currency I.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
Want in my life? Silence? And I think he would
he would pay it. That's true. That happens to death.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Just now. Oh no, KB just picked an NFL NFC
East team When I thought he was going to go
another NFC East team with the Giants to go Cam
Skataboo as his roommate, and he picked.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Up Marcus Mariota.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
Yeah, well, well, I actually somehow on the planet of football,
Kyle values silence more than running backs. And like, I
know that that's like not supposed to happen, but I
do think that that's how that exists.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Interesting, it's I don't want to be roommates with scattaboy.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
I want to be scatterboy, so.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Like that's that's a completely different thing. And I still
we still haven't met in person, so someday we will,
and it's possible we couldn't be roommates because of his
restraining order. But Cam, I know I love you and
I'm not I'm cool, like that.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Good money football. Good morning.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Fitzpatrick throws for the touchdown for all the ladies out there.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I'm taking I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Big day like playing with Fitzpatrick.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
It's nothing. I mean, I think we just have to
stay humble. He's good Partitionrick, He's gonna roll with it.
Speaker 11 (20:48):
We gotta make sure we know how to handle success
and all those things.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
Fitzpatrick puts it right on the money to a trutch
on the field for the first time. Even Fitch is motivation. Well,
this is magic chest.
Speaker 9 (21:02):
There's mind.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
That's my wife. Get the kids to bed, it's getting late.
He's here.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
We love them, You love them, everybody loves them, and
we love him, especially when he's coming from a place
of tranquility.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Specifically a gorgeous golf tournament on a wonderful day. And
look at him.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Ryan Fitzpatrick, how we feeling, baby, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 9 (21:22):
Yeah, feel great.
Speaker 11 (21:24):
I am in Lake Tahoe at the American Century Championship,
ready to play some golf, even though you hate it, Kyle,
I'm here, I'm ready. I'm ready to compete. It is
absolutely gorgeous out here right now.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
And we're going to ask a lot about the tournament.
We have a lot of things to get into, but
I'm going to make the sharp left turn fits from
Tahoe to Cleveland, Ohio, because they have the most fascinating
quarterback room right now, the Cleveland Browns. Just for everybody
watching at home, Joe Flacco is there, Kenny Pickett's there,
who you traded actual draft capital for, and a player
a third round.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Rookie, a fifth round rookie.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
And that's not to mention Deshaun Watson, who's making almost
fifty million bucks this year, has been publicly disavowed by
the owner.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
How is this quarterback room going to shake out? And
what if you make of it?
Speaker 11 (22:11):
Yeah, it's an insane situation right now. I think, you know,
if I was a betting man, Joe Flacco is going
to go into the year as the starter. You know,
he has history there, He's had a lot of success there,
and I think it's a great story. He's a guy
that will bring calm. He's a guy that's going to
be able to get them off on the right foot.
And then you know, as the season goes along, when
(22:32):
you draft guys early and when you have young, exciting
guys and I know they're excited about Gabriel. You know,
we could see him inserted into the lineup, say week seven,
Week eight, week nine, if they've lost a few games.
You know, as a guy that's been a bridge quarterback
in his career, usually that's about the time you look
at the bye week and that's about the time you
(22:53):
get replaced. But I'm excited to see Joe and you know,
he did such a great job in Cleveland a few
years ago and looking forward to seeing what he does
again this year.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
I can imagine you have so much you have so
much experience, and you're able to pull that parallel so
beautifully fits.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
You also know what.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
It's like to jump in and out of locker rooms
and organizations and make it work no matter where you're at.
Aaron Rodgers now has that as a new skill set
because he tried to make it work last year with
the Jets and now he's in Pittsburgh. How have you
felt about this journey for Rogers and what is this
fit like for him now in the Mike Tomlin led
Pittsburgh system.
Speaker 11 (23:31):
You know, it's an interesting one for him in the
tail end of his career because he's one of the
most talented quarterbacks to ever play the game. And I was, actually,
he's up here playing, So I was talking to him yesterday.
He's the only remaining member of the two thousand and
five draft class that I was a part of.
Speaker 9 (23:47):
Yeah, and I'll tell you I was.
Speaker 11 (23:48):
I threw some passes at tight end you this year,
and I don't know how he's still doing it. I mean,
it is absolutely amazing. And aside from the the stuff
the Pat McAfee and all the conspiracy theories and those
types of things, when he's one on one and when
he's in a team setting, in a locker room setting,
(24:09):
he is very charismatic. He's going to be able to
win those guys over. They know that he brings a
certain level of play with him. And you know what
have we said about Pittsburgh since Roethlisberger left. They've got
a great defense, but they don't have a quarterback. They
keep trying to find a quarterback. So this is a
good situation for him to land into and to see
what can happen there.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Yeah, the two Jamie's points, you said, you know, in
your long career, you've been in a lot of locker rooms,
and one of those locker rooms was with the Buffalo Bills. Now,
Josh Allen the NFL MVP. Last season, he led them
to the AFC Championship. You being a former Buffalo Bill,
you knowing him very well. What does he and the
Buffalo Bills need to do to not only make it
(24:50):
to the Super Bowl, but it always seems when it
gets to Kansas City, how do they get past that?
Speaker 11 (24:56):
Interesting enough? I talked to Josh yesterday too. This American
Century Championship is crawling with qbs. You know, he's He's
had a lot on his plate this offseason. A little wedding,
which you know, yeah, that can good play, that can
calm things down, and a lot of traveling, different things.
But Josh is such a great leader, and I think
(25:18):
what you've seen over the last few years, especially this
is his team. This team has taken on his personality.
You even see some of the things that the rookies
say coming in. Oh my gosh, I can't believe this
guy came up to me and introduced himself and made me.
Speaker 9 (25:31):
Feel part of it.
Speaker 11 (25:32):
They have something really special going on in Buffalo right now,
and it's those pesky Chiefs. But I'll tell you what,
and Kyle's I think the same thing. I think this
is our year, baby, I think this is our year
to get over those chiefs in the playoffs and do
it because they've been so close and there's a lot
of enthusiasm around him and Josh you know MVP.
Speaker 9 (25:53):
Now Josh is a really special player.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Well, it'd be very cool if he got the wedding
ring and the Super Bowl ring, like back to back.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Like that. That is called just being on a heater.
And never mind what I think.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
I'm sure you've seen it fits that that Peyton's been
talking that he relates to Josh and he had to
get over his enemy and he finally did it.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
You mentioned Josh, you've seen him, You've seen Aaron. You
are at the American.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Century's Celebrity golf Champion of Tahoe. Never Mind who's good
or bad at golfing fits because you know, I hate
that stuff. Who's interesting to talk to, who's interesting to see? Like,
give us drop some more names. We live for this stuff,
like just take us around the around the course.
Speaker 9 (26:29):
Well, it's an insane lineup.
Speaker 11 (26:30):
And the cool thing about this is you don't know
who you're gonna get paired with every day, and so
you know Day one, which is the tournament starts on
Friday for US and with Vrabel and DeMarcus Ware which
Marcus got to do. Rabel his kids come. You know,
it's so much fun to play with him. But then
it's it's the comedians. It's Colin Jost, It's Larry the Cable,
(26:53):
the guy, Larry the Cable guy, Nate pargot Si, you
know last night Jacob and plays in the event.
Speaker 9 (26:59):
He did a little set for everybody.
Speaker 11 (27:01):
And so just to be to dip into all these
different you know, not just football, not just baseball, a
Miles teller last night. It's a band, cooled Tjoshi who
just retired. Matthew could Chuck to get to talk to
him for a little bit. It's a star studded lineup
and it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
Absolutely, it seems so.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
But when I look at the list, though, and I'm
just literally going down the tee times for these guys.
Every name I see, I'm like, oh veteran, Oh veteran.
When you're a vet, you got the time to golf
in the summer. You're not going to see Jen Daniels
on that list because he's a young guy.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
He's trying to work it out.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
He's trying to make sure his second year goes well
with the Commanders. He led the Washington all the way
to the NFC title game last season. What is the
league in for with Jan Daniels do you think in
the year two experience?
Speaker 11 (27:50):
You know, it was such an insane first year for him.
I think with Cliff Kingsbury, that's a great pairing. You know,
they're a great match for each other, and he just
he continued to do things throughout the year that rookies
should do. It wasn't just as athleticism and his ability
to escape the pocket, although those are things when you're
young that can help, but standing in there, you know,
(28:12):
in the face of blitzers that are unblocked and throwing
dimes down the field. The way the team and really
the city rallied around him, the excitement surrounding them now,
it just hasn't been there.
Speaker 9 (28:23):
In a long time. So, you know, with quarterbacks, it's interesting.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
C J.
Speaker 9 (28:27):
Stroud, we saw it last year.
Speaker 11 (28:28):
He took a step back and he had such an
amazing rookie year. I don't think that's going to happen
with Jayden. I think this team is too talented. I
think they've got a lot of great people around him.
Kingsbury really understands them, so I'm excited to see what happens.
But they are certainly a team that everybody wants to
play for now, which we haven't been able to say
in a long time, and certainly a team that is
(28:50):
no longer circled.
Speaker 9 (28:51):
As an automatic win. When you're going to play.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Washington, FITZI, I know you probably remember this, but I
played against you in twenty eighteen when you played for
the Bucks and you came to New Orleans and you
threw for like over four hundred yards and like four
five touchdowns and fits magic and all of that stuff. Well,
there's a quarterback over there by the name of Baker
Mayfield who's been there for two years now on the
NFC South twice. What is it about Baker Mayfield. He's
(29:17):
one of the most underrated quarterbacks in this league. What
is it about Baker Mayfield to you that stands out
the most.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 11 (29:25):
Baker's here as well, doesn't doesn't have a great golf
game right now, doesn't have a great golf game.
Speaker 9 (29:30):
Okay, That's why I love him, because just you gravitate
towards him.
Speaker 11 (29:35):
Just having some guys that I've played with and through
to in Tampa that are still there, with Mike and
Chris Godwin. They love the guy. He competes, he gives
him a chance. And you know that's going to be
an interesting situation too, with losing Liam Cohen and having
Josh guars Arm and having been with a new coordinator.
Baker's really going to help him out. And Josh, I
(29:57):
was with him in miami's a really smart guy. He's
a Yale guy. So that's going to be see how
that plays out. But when you when you sit and
look at the quarterbacks around the league, the must watch
like must see TV guys, Baker's right up there with
all of them, I say he's probably you know, Josh
Allen Baker, Mayfield, Lamar Jackson one two three, probably for me,
(30:20):
But my son Jake Baker's his favorite quarterback. And he's
now changed his name to Jaker.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
Yes, I love that. Jacob Fitzpatrick, that's awesome. I think
it's got a ring to it.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Before you go, fits, let's finish with golf. You know,
I've heard Charles Barkley talk about before everybody makes fun
of his swing, and he says, listen, I've been the
NBA a VP, I've been to the finals.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
I've played against Michael Jordan.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
But when I'm standing over that golf ball, I am
so terrified. It's like I'm not even myself. When you're
on the first t and all the famous people there
and the movie stars and this guy and that guy
and that girl, like do you find a calm or
are you terrified as well?
Speaker 9 (31:03):
Yeah, I'm just a very average golfer.
Speaker 11 (31:05):
And so the problem here at the American Century is
the people that are standing around watching think that you're professionals.
They think they're at a PGA event, and so they're
standing in places could not be standing.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
No, No, that's what.
Speaker 11 (31:22):
You just hope that you get through the weekend without
hitting anybody with the ball, and if you do hit
them with the ball, that they don't get hurt. And
you could sign a glove and give it to them.
But I think that's a number one thing. And why
I am nervous out here, it's not because I don't
want to be embarrassed and top a ball or hit
one in the water. It's because I did not want
to hit some You know seven year old lady that
(31:44):
sits out there to see George Kittle.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
And I'm sorry I left you with a permanent welt
on your back. But here's an autograph glove from Ryan
to make you feel better. Fitz tell us about whole
seventeen because that's where they go nuts, right, Like what's
that like?
Speaker 9 (32:01):
Yeah, it's insane.
Speaker 11 (32:02):
So they throw a basketball whoop on there and you
get to shoot a little bit, but that's essentially the whole.
All the fans kind of congregate around seventeen. It's right
on the water, so you're going to see fifty to
one hundred boats out there. You're going to see some
other things. They've got my eighteen year old son on
the bag, so he's going to learn some things. Ladies
and bikinis and seeing things he probably hasn't seen before.
Speaker 9 (32:25):
But it is.
Speaker 11 (32:26):
It's electric. It's so much fun. The wind is really swirling,
so it's not necessarily the easiest hole to hit two,
and they'll let you know if you don't put it
on the green, they'll give you a few booze.
Speaker 9 (32:37):
But it is.
Speaker 11 (32:38):
It is an awesome spectacle and really fun to be
a part of.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
It's great, well you were an awesome dad man then
we were all parents here and we love that you're
doing that and participating like that. So hit him high
Greens and fairways. Try not to take anybody's eye out
fits and say hi to Jaker for us.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
You're the man. Thanks for coming on all right.
Speaker 9 (32:57):
You guys are the best.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Thank you you get a man brother.

a fan of heat and humidity, then that is where
you want.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
To be just year roasting in your new gold jacket.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Talk about it talking about a place that I want
to be. One of the favorite things that I love
about this whole process is the door knock. So we
have actually a recording of your door knock. Let's take
a look.
Speaker 7 (01:35):
Oh oh, hey, buddy, guess I guess that's the knock.

It's the recognition that you not necessarily the recognition, it's
the it's the affirmation that you played the game correctly.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Heard a knock and I wasn't really like expecting.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Anything to like sew cameras and then there's this camera
that I was like, what's going on?
Speaker 4 (02:06):
And I heard, like my dad's inducted to like the
Hall of Fame. Congratulations, and I'm glad I was.
Speaker 7 (02:12):
Here for Thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Absolutely sure. So beautiful. Bro.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
So you have your family, you have Steve Weis, but
you have your former teammate and Hall of Fame Class
of twenty twenty Steve Hutchinson. Take us back to that moment.
What were your emotions, like, did you anticipate it? How
was that like for you?
Speaker 7 (02:29):
Yeah, my my publicist who I've been with my entire
career has never been to my house in Nashville once
all of a sudden shows up.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
But I was literally I was out chatted back.
Speaker 7 (02:40):
I was out back working on our chicken coop and stuff,
you know. And after after being on there four times
and being rejected, You're like, Okay, we started to get
the timeline down to where if I haven't gotten told.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
No yet, maybe there's a yes coming this year.
Speaker 7 (02:53):
So yeah, I guess my wife gives me a craft too,
because she's like you. Everybody thought I was gonna be
more emotional, more excited.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
I'm not.
Speaker 7 (02:58):
I don't really, I don't know, and I guess I'm
not that sentimental and certain when it comes to football,
at least that.
Speaker 9 (03:03):
I tell everybody.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
I was teathing there, but I actually a little uset.
I was gonna make them knock five times because that's
how long they made me.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Made me wait. So I didn't.
Speaker 7 (03:09):
I didn't get to an act by revenge.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
But it's a cool deal.
Speaker 7 (03:14):
It was so cool and uh but the funny part.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Is no joke.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
We you know, we were we got to we were
in our daily lives, right, So my kids had volleyball
in a couple of hours, and they come in, they barge,
and they got cameras. They're trying to set up everything,
and I was like, hold up, we're trying to make
dinner here. We got we got volleyball prices to get to.
You guys just got to get this move and I
got life to get back to.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
Nice to ask your questions.
Speaker 9 (03:35):
I was like, you better put that.
Speaker 7 (03:36):
That better be I've been a respike from cider, I
got a forty minute drive.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
I got priorities.
Speaker 7 (03:44):
Yeah, but it was so humbling, it's so cool. It's
such a great Uh, it's such a great honor. You know,
I've said that the whole time. It's you know, even
even on the years I didn't make it and your
frustrations lie it it's never, it's never with the jacket.
The jacket is such a great respect. Sometimes, you know,
guys get frustrated with the process. Uh, but you know,
Chris Carter's actually giving me some really good advice throughout
my uh my career and life. And you told me
(04:05):
once he said, you know, we think you're done playing
play two more right, And so I got to busted
out fives for that.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
So I appreciate that, Chris.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
And then you know, I know, you know, Chris, Chris
had a way a while for his gold jacket too.
And so you know, you have the first ballot finalists
and then you know, year three four comes along, you
don't get in. And Chris told me said, man, you know,
once once you get in, all that goes away. You know,
you know, no one cares how long it took you
to get there. And he was and he was right right.
You start to focus on the uh, you start to
focus on the Uh, I'm not on that process, you know.
(04:36):
Now you just focus on on the new class you're in,
on the teammates and getting to talk to you know,
talk with with all the class members or my current
class members all in all the Hall of famers, and
you start talking, you know, talking about stories and in
the league and all that stuff, and uh, it really
becomes a focus of you know, enjoying each other's careers
and not worrying about the whole process.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
So, uh, it really changed your perspective. And it's been it's.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
Been a fun right, that's absolutely awesome.
Speaker 10 (05:02):
I'm sure that that fellowship and brotherhood and that hof
class must.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Be very special. Man, you know it took you one
hundred and thirty six sacks to get there.
Speaker 10 (05:10):
While it is an individual statistic, it's always a team effort.
You know, you play with some great defensive players, Antoine Winfield,
Pat Williams, you know who do you share this honor
with all of them?
Speaker 7 (05:20):
To be honest with you, you know, speaking of Antoine, you
know if he's watching this, bunty chance, I need to
get a hold of that guy. So no, I you mentioned,
you mentioned just a brief number of guys right there
that that are fantastic and I unfortunately player, but I
think I can count it back. I think I've played
(05:40):
with seven Hall of famers, you know, between the Chiefs
and uh the biking is alone, and uh, you know
I've learned so much from every single one of those guys.
You look at Kevin Williams, Pat One, they said, Antoine Winfield.
I mean, guys like that, ty Lob make it so
easy to rush the pastor because you don't have to
feel shut down right.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Again, I share it.
Speaker 9 (05:59):
I share it with all of them, I really.
Speaker 7 (06:01):
Do, and I'll be I'll be even more happy when guys,
you know, Kevin william I think he's one hundred percent
deserving be in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (06:08):
That guy's career when you go luck and look at it,
is phenomenal. And you know, when I got to Minnesota,
you know you're thinking, here I am, but it became
the highest paid player and defense or it fell a
history from a defensive standpoint, and you're going to walk
into the room with some respect.
Speaker 9 (06:21):
And first they told me.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
Is, hey, we played the run around here, you better
get your tack the game up.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
And I'm like, what, He'll didn't see me in Kansas City.
So that was a brotherhood we have.
Speaker 7 (06:33):
It was it was competition every single day. That's why
I tell people it wasn't I wasn't trying to be
the best in the league. I was just trying to
be the best of my d line room and that
and that took me higher to higher highs than I
can ever imagine.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
I love that. I'm very much looking forward to see, like,
will there be a mullet coming at the Canton and Truma.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
Just just just putting out there never leaves.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
You know.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
I love a good mullet.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
It's great.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
But tomorrow you're taking over the NFL network. Tell us
a little bit about it and what are we going
to see?
Speaker 7 (06:59):
Oh, you know what, this good thing reminded me of
that because I think we did this like a month ago,
you know, So hopefully you'll see just some you know,
some authentic me, you know, some cool interviews. I have
picked a couple of games that I think people would
like that I liked, and so yeah, really just kind
of a compilation of my twelve years put into one
(07:22):
and hopefully some entertaining interviews, highlights and all that fun stuff.
Speaker 9 (07:27):
I tried.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
I try not to take the game of football.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
Too serious, and ye.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
That it looks like it worked out.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Is that how you got about fifteen seconds answer this question, Jared?
Is that how we're going to see your Hall of
Fame speech come in that? Don't don't take it too seriously.
Speaker 7 (07:40):
Yeah, seeing how I haven't written anything yet, probably right
whereabout it is where I'm at now. I got some
I got some bullet points, and I think the Hall
of Fame is a little nervous right now because they
know they want they want structure.
Speaker 9 (07:51):
And I'm like, Brian got this.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
We're good football football.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
So we're a week away from the teams reporting to
training camp.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
We're going to grab the cap of.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
The team whose storyline that we are most intrigued by.
Speaker 6 (08:16):
You get to go first on this one. And what
are who are you looking for? Giants?
Speaker 5 (08:21):
Okay, yes, I will pass my neighbor this New York
Giants hat.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
Bestiees, I'm the most perfect mom on the planet about.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Another bee at a.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Certain way, we're the besties over here.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
What's the question?
Speaker 6 (08:32):
I just said it. What grabbed the cap of the storyline?
Speaker 4 (08:34):
By the story?
Speaker 6 (08:35):
Intriguing story I got to this.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
I still think about Manti's house. This is a good
house to be a part of.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Right now to the New York Giants, I like the
storyline going into the New York Giants. Obviously with the
pressure of Brian Dabon Joe Shane, they're on the hot seat.
I mean, I think that's an understandment about what the
hot seed is for them. Now they go and get
Jackson Dart. The storyline to me that is the most
intriguing as this does Jackson Dart start on day one?
If he doesn't, how long do you keep him on
(09:05):
the bench? Brian Daboll, do you play Russell Wilson? Do
you play Jamis? And if those two start doing well,
do you just stash Jackson Dart for the twenty twenty
five season? If those two don't do well, how long
do you keep Jackson Dart on the bench? Do you
wait till it later in the season so that you're
on an uptick going into the season into the twenty
(09:27):
twenty six season. That's the storyline that I'm going to
be inclued in on.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I'm going to go with this because so brow I
have set as my homepage like I have set the
Cleveland Browns websites depth chart.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
I'm so fascinated by.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
This because I want to know what the hell they're going.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
To do at quarterback.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
You know the deal they got Deshaun Watson kind of
Flacko Piket, two different rookies.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
I've done the research. Sorry, So the Brown's website, they.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Don't release their twenty twenty five web depth chart yet.
So you go to the broadcast partners, right all right,
CBS has them like all piled up over on the end.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
They're not committing.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
ESPN doesn't even have Shedur Sanders on the depth chart
because it only goes four deep in their format.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
So I'm sitting here refreshing thee Browns.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Dot Com like I'm trying to get Taylor tickets or
something like, I'm just so eager, refreshed, refreshed. So when
they first dropped that one, I am so fascinated to
find out where in the holy hell that these guys
lined up, because they could do Quarterback Season three just
on the Browns room, and I feel like I wish
they wouldn't.
Speaker 8 (10:30):
Yeah, for me, it's the Dallas Cowboys and hopefully I
can find them.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Oh here they go? Yeah, how about them? Caw a
bottom and the bottom line of stars.
Speaker 8 (10:38):
With Brian shot in the hammer, can't he bring fresh energy?
I got a big old mask got head.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Oh yeah, at you, But can't he bring candy? Bring
fresh energy?
Speaker 8 (10:47):
It really get this team back to playing elite football.
You gotta understand this team was seven to ten last year,
but they didn't quit. They still fought tough through every
game in the season.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Valley, it was ugly.
Speaker 8 (10:58):
They got rid of Mike McCarthey, but Brian, excuse me,
Brian Shottenheimer, he was gonna have to established a run game.
They got a young officive line. They could have went
running back early. They went office line they got Tyler
Booker out of Alabama, and on top of that, Dak Prescott.
He's a new man, he's a father, he's a husband,
and he's a thirty two year old quarterback coming off
a hamstring. How can they protect him? How can they
(11:20):
establish a run game, and how can they bring new
energy into the building. Because I'm gonna be honest with you,
the Dallas Cowboys on my dark horse. I see this
team playing a lot better with the addition to George Pickens.
Now you have CD Lamb, you have a tight end.
This team could be a lot better, and they it
will be better for this upcoming season.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
I feel like calling the Cowboys of dark horses an oxymoron.
It just feel like it shouldn't ever exist, no matter what.
They are the brightest horse in the race, and you
always are keeping an eye on it no matter But
I hear what you're saying.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Rely, I grab.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
I wasn't gonna play, but I couldn't not grab. After
seeing Brian Dable, we know what he always looks like
on camera.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Now we're seeing we know it's Tafanski.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Always looks like we're looking at Schottenheimer with the backwards visor.
I'm going to go with the Las Vegas Raiders as
my most intriguing storylineating camp because once Pete Carroll going
to get into did he have like an assistant coach
or a trainer inside like a bubble that was like
flying around at mandatory mini camp. He's wrestling players during
the stretch lines. I need him to drop the skincare routine.
(12:16):
The man is in his what mid seventies.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
Or what is he?
Speaker 5 (12:19):
I don't even know how old he is, and he
looks like he's a spry thirty six year old. I
am fascinated by the coaches in the AFC West, but specifically.
Speaker 6 (12:26):
I want to know what's going on with the Las.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
Vegas Raiders and their rookie running back and Gino Smith's
revival two point zero maybe, so I'm going with the
Raiders for most intriguing storyline out of training Camp. Love
that James Megan topic no cap, grab the cap of
the player or coach that you would want to hear
miked up footage of at training camp. Manti is actively
searching for I believe a baby blue cap.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Okay, guys, you know that friend that has that laugh
that is so contagious that you don't even know what
he's laughing at. You just start laughing already. For me,
if I was to listen to somebody, I want to
be entertained, and I want to know number one, what
he says, because it's so it's so entertaining. If you
ever listened to Xavier Legett, have you ever listened to
him talk?
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Yes? Hell yeah, I if he was miked up, screw
the play.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
I wouldn't even care about his.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Catches, his touchdowns, how fatty runs, how big the guy is.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
I just want to listen to this guy talk.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Anything he says to me with that twang, because I
have a little twang too.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
Yeah, you got something.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
It's just so entertaining to me.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Look look look at that. Look at that.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
He is an entertaining player to listen to. And he said,
he just reminds me of that friend that got that
that hysterical laugh.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Jerry A.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Toucher was a teammate of mine at the Chargers, and
he had one of those laughs.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Xavier Legette, to me.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Has one of those twangs where no matter what he says,
it's gonna be hilarious.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Yeah. For me, it's the Minnesota Vikings and JJ Orphy.
Speaker 8 (13:53):
I'm excited about JJ because he's falling into the right situation.
You have Jordan Addison, you have excuse me, justin Jefferson's
t J Hawkinson, you got understand the Vikings said goodbye
to Aaron. I just said, we don't want your services
here because we got a young man we believe in
and we believe that he can be the future for
the Minnesota Vikings. This team is ready to win now,
and they put the franchise on this young man's back.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
We understand that right now with the.
Speaker 8 (14:16):
Brian Flores defense, this office line.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Run game.
Speaker 8 (14:19):
JJ McCarthy's walking into a perfect situation. Well, all he
has to do is play quarterback. He's been given the
keys to the poors. Just don't crash it, young man,
and if he's able to do that, he's going to
shock the world.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
So I'm intrigued by his storyline.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
That's a good answer because we want to get to
know him. A very important player in the league this year,
JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
So we're going to get to know him.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
It gets an answer just because it's just funny, Like
I would love to see that. I would love it,
Like I used to watch peaky blinders, and they would
have to have subtitles sometimes because you can understand what
they're saying.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
They're speaking English.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Like That's what I would love for the GET, But
I'm going to go with the third archetype. I want
someone who just talks so much, bleep, NonStop, always running
his mouth, always looking at start fights.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Give me Daniel Jones.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Mike up just like absolutely person a bluesting, No, not
at all. I want to see what Daniel Jone set.
Imagine if you mike Daniel Jones up and it was
just wow, like it's all I didn't know you talked
like this was all like f bombs and like political
takes and all this controversial stuff. Maybe Daniel Jones has
this thing deep inside him where he's taken so much
stuff he's just ready to explode. And he's in a
(15:19):
quarterback competition now in a new city and he's trying
to make a new reputation. Is it really just as
as Gollie g Huckleberry as I think it is, or
does he really have like an edge to him?
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Does he have any edge?
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Does he have any like getting the guy's face at all?
Because he has looked at as such a boy scout.
I want the tape to reof that's true or not.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
Oh man, Okay, I'm just sitting here.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
I'm thinking about the fact that Daniel Jones has a scepter,
and I just can't believe that that level of anger
you ever qualified him for an anger run segment, let
alone win it and to be give to it to
him internationally. And Kyle, as I remind you again that
interaction that I had with him in which I bestowed
upon him the scepter in Germany, it was went exactly
how you thought it would. And let's just say the
micd up version was probably just as awkward as you.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
Can imagine it.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Grab the cap of the player that you would love
to be roommates with at training camp. Now, as what
I have heard from former players, Manti is at like
training camp, you kind of start to get on each
other's nerves, and like is August and you're at some
college dormitory, so like you got to be very specific
and you got to be selective about which roommate you
have during training camp.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I'm definitely selected, Jamie. I'm definitely selective of this person
because I did go to a training camp with him.
He is one of my best friends. I know his
wife Lindsay, his son Cooper, his daughter Carter, even his
dog Sammy. His dog and my dog were the best
of friends. So that would be Alex Anzeloni the Detroit Lions.
There was a clip that I had talked about Habachi
(16:44):
k but you mentioned earlier Hibachi in the middle of
in the beginning of our show, I had a video
of look at that. I had a video of me
and I called his nickname for me was Blanco. I
just called him Blanco nick. I had a clip of
me and Blanca at a Hibachi type restaurant and he
caught ten straight shrimp in his mouth, and that's My
(17:04):
wife is like, I'm gonna throw this to the producers
and have them play it in and she's like, that's not.
Speaker 9 (17:08):
A good idea.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Oh, that's that's against the bro code.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
So I didn't send them.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I didn't send it to McLean because I didn't want
people to think, oh, why would you want him to
be a roommate. I wanted to be my room because
he's my brother.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
I love him.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
That's my dog brought and so I would I would,
I would want Alex Anzeloni to be my.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
Incredible eye to mouth coordination as well. That's goods, yeah
from me.
Speaker 8 (17:32):
I'm staying in New York. I'm going with Famous Jameis Winston.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
He's a riot.
Speaker 8 (17:36):
He's the type of guy that would read me a
Goosebumps book and we could play shadow puppets.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
So I appreciate I appreciate Famous Jamis.
Speaker 8 (17:45):
He's he's gonna keep me happy during the dog days
of camp. And also what I love about him, he
loves them dubs, really likes to win. He likes to
eat them dumbs. So I'll be stacking them dubs, eating
them dubs.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
With Jameis Winston.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (17:58):
And I can't imagine where he'll get me to watch man.
I missing detriaut about everything that goes on and what
comes out of his So Jameis Winston, I would love
for him to be my room.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
That would be the loudest room, the loudest room. Oh
my god, So.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Willie Willie training camp physically exhausting, right of course, mentally exhausting.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
At the end of the day. You want to come
back to that.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
You want screaming and doves and all that that you
don't you want to break.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
I want the spirit. You.
Speaker 8 (18:28):
You got to keep it hot, you keep it a
high from your family.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
You're away from the wife. You need somebody to keep
you motivated.
Speaker 8 (18:34):
Keep that batter in your back, and you quarterback. O.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Long relationship is import That's true. I want to get
to know my guy.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
There's only one man for my job, and you, guys,
all is Marcus Mariota.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
That's my roommate. Sit there, shut up, don't say anything.
I want silence.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
I want a roommate who's neat, who's courteous, who's polite,
who doesn't want to talk to me, who I don't
want to talk to you.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
I don't even know if Marcus Mariota is there. I
don't care.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
I want to come back to the room at the
end of the day, much like after this show.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
I want the opposite of James. I don't want to
ob to say anything. Flack would be great too.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Blacko's a big guys, a little older, you know what.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Flack of might be good, probably the best for you.
Flack On might be good, but I.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Think he is a little more to say than Marcus Mariota,
who just I think is just sitting there in silence
doing sudoku.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Or the knitting or something that's my perfect dream man.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
I've answered Marcus Mariota for fifty questions like this. Even
when he retires, I will still always say to Mariota
because what is the currency I.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
Want in my life? Silence? And I think he would
he would pay it. That's true. That happens to death.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Just now. Oh no, KB just picked an NFL NFC
East team When I thought he was going to go
another NFC East team with the Giants to go Cam
Skataboo as his roommate, and he picked.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Up Marcus Mariota.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
Yeah, well, well, I actually somehow on the planet of football,
Kyle values silence more than running backs. And like, I
know that that's like not supposed to happen, but I
do think that that's how that exists.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Interesting, it's I don't want to be roommates with scattaboy.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
I want to be scatterboy, so.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Like that's that's a completely different thing. And I still
we still haven't met in person, so someday we will,
and it's possible we couldn't be roommates because of his
restraining order. But Cam, I know I love you and
I'm not I'm cool, like that.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Good money football. Good morning.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Fitzpatrick throws for the touchdown for all the ladies out there.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I'm taking I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Big day like playing with Fitzpatrick.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
It's nothing. I mean, I think we just have to
stay humble. He's good Partitionrick, He's gonna roll with it.
Speaker 11 (20:48):
We gotta make sure we know how to handle success
and all those things.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
Fitzpatrick puts it right on the money to a trutch
on the field for the first time. Even Fitch is motivation. Well,
this is magic chest.
Speaker 9 (21:02):
There's mind.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
That's my wife. Get the kids to bed, it's getting late.
He's here.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
We love them, You love them, everybody loves them, and
we love him, especially when he's coming from a place
of tranquility.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Specifically a gorgeous golf tournament on a wonderful day. And
look at him.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Ryan Fitzpatrick, how we feeling, baby, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 9 (21:22):
Yeah, feel great.
Speaker 11 (21:24):
I am in Lake Tahoe at the American Century Championship,
ready to play some golf, even though you hate it, Kyle,
I'm here, I'm ready. I'm ready to compete. It is
absolutely gorgeous out here right now.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
And we're going to ask a lot about the tournament.
We have a lot of things to get into, but
I'm going to make the sharp left turn fits from
Tahoe to Cleveland, Ohio, because they have the most fascinating
quarterback room right now, the Cleveland Browns. Just for everybody
watching at home, Joe Flacco is there, Kenny Pickett's there,
who you traded actual draft capital for, and a player
a third round.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Rookie, a fifth round rookie.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
And that's not to mention Deshaun Watson, who's making almost
fifty million bucks this year, has been publicly disavowed by
the owner.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
How is this quarterback room going to shake out? And
what if you make of it?
Speaker 11 (22:11):
Yeah, it's an insane situation right now. I think, you know,
if I was a betting man, Joe Flacco is going
to go into the year as the starter. You know,
he has history there, He's had a lot of success there,
and I think it's a great story. He's a guy
that will bring calm. He's a guy that's going to
be able to get them off on the right foot.
And then you know, as the season goes along, when
(22:32):
you draft guys early and when you have young, exciting
guys and I know they're excited about Gabriel. You know,
we could see him inserted into the lineup, say week seven,
Week eight, week nine, if they've lost a few games.
You know, as a guy that's been a bridge quarterback
in his career, usually that's about the time you look
at the bye week and that's about the time you
(22:53):
get replaced. But I'm excited to see Joe and you know,
he did such a great job in Cleveland a few
years ago and looking forward to seeing what he does
again this year.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
I can imagine you have so much you have so
much experience, and you're able to pull that parallel so
beautifully fits.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
You also know what.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
It's like to jump in and out of locker rooms
and organizations and make it work no matter where you're at.
Aaron Rodgers now has that as a new skill set
because he tried to make it work last year with
the Jets and now he's in Pittsburgh. How have you
felt about this journey for Rogers and what is this
fit like for him now in the Mike Tomlin led
Pittsburgh system.
Speaker 11 (23:31):
You know, it's an interesting one for him in the
tail end of his career because he's one of the
most talented quarterbacks to ever play the game. And I was, actually,
he's up here playing, So I was talking to him yesterday.
He's the only remaining member of the two thousand and
five draft class that I was a part of.
Speaker 9 (23:47):
Yeah, and I'll tell you I was.
Speaker 11 (23:48):
I threw some passes at tight end you this year,
and I don't know how he's still doing it. I mean,
it is absolutely amazing. And aside from the the stuff
the Pat McAfee and all the conspiracy theories and those
types of things, when he's one on one and when
he's in a team setting, in a locker room setting,
(24:09):
he is very charismatic. He's going to be able to
win those guys over. They know that he brings a
certain level of play with him. And you know what
have we said about Pittsburgh since Roethlisberger left. They've got
a great defense, but they don't have a quarterback. They
keep trying to find a quarterback. So this is a
good situation for him to land into and to see
what can happen there.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Yeah, the two Jamie's points, you said, you know, in
your long career, you've been in a lot of locker rooms,
and one of those locker rooms was with the Buffalo Bills. Now,
Josh Allen the NFL MVP. Last season, he led them
to the AFC Championship. You being a former Buffalo Bill,
you knowing him very well. What does he and the
Buffalo Bills need to do to not only make it
(24:50):
to the Super Bowl, but it always seems when it
gets to Kansas City, how do they get past that?
Speaker 11 (24:56):
Interesting enough? I talked to Josh yesterday too. This American
Century Championship is crawling with qbs. You know, he's He's
had a lot on his plate this offseason. A little wedding,
which you know, yeah, that can good play, that can
calm things down, and a lot of traveling, different things.
But Josh is such a great leader, and I think
(25:18):
what you've seen over the last few years, especially this
is his team. This team has taken on his personality.
You even see some of the things that the rookies
say coming in. Oh my gosh, I can't believe this
guy came up to me and introduced himself and made me.
Speaker 9 (25:31):
Feel part of it.
Speaker 11 (25:32):
They have something really special going on in Buffalo right now,
and it's those pesky Chiefs. But I'll tell you what,
and Kyle's I think the same thing. I think this
is our year, baby, I think this is our year
to get over those chiefs in the playoffs and do
it because they've been so close and there's a lot
of enthusiasm around him and Josh you know MVP.
Speaker 9 (25:53):
Now Josh is a really special player.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Well, it'd be very cool if he got the wedding
ring and the Super Bowl ring, like back to back.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Like that. That is called just being on a heater.
And never mind what I think.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
I'm sure you've seen it fits that that Peyton's been
talking that he relates to Josh and he had to
get over his enemy and he finally did it.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
You mentioned Josh, you've seen him, You've seen Aaron. You
are at the American.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Century's Celebrity golf Champion of Tahoe. Never Mind who's good
or bad at golfing fits because you know, I hate
that stuff. Who's interesting to talk to, who's interesting to see? Like,
give us drop some more names. We live for this stuff,
like just take us around the around the course.
Speaker 9 (26:29):
Well, it's an insane lineup.
Speaker 11 (26:30):
And the cool thing about this is you don't know
who you're gonna get paired with every day, and so
you know Day one, which is the tournament starts on
Friday for US and with Vrabel and DeMarcus Ware which
Marcus got to do. Rabel his kids come. You know,
it's so much fun to play with him. But then
it's it's the comedians. It's Colin Jost, It's Larry the Cable,
(26:53):
the guy, Larry the Cable guy, Nate pargot Si, you
know last night Jacob and plays in the event.
Speaker 9 (26:59):
He did a little set for everybody.
Speaker 11 (27:01):
And so just to be to dip into all these
different you know, not just football, not just baseball, a
Miles teller last night. It's a band, cooled Tjoshi who
just retired. Matthew could Chuck to get to talk to
him for a little bit. It's a star studded lineup
and it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
Absolutely, it seems so.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
But when I look at the list, though, and I'm
just literally going down the tee times for these guys.
Every name I see, I'm like, oh veteran, Oh veteran.
When you're a vet, you got the time to golf
in the summer. You're not going to see Jen Daniels
on that list because he's a young guy.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
He's trying to work it out.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
He's trying to make sure his second year goes well
with the Commanders. He led the Washington all the way
to the NFC title game last season. What is the
league in for with Jan Daniels do you think in
the year two experience?
Speaker 11 (27:50):
You know, it was such an insane first year for him.
I think with Cliff Kingsbury, that's a great pairing. You know,
they're a great match for each other, and he just
he continued to do things throughout the year that rookies
should do. It wasn't just as athleticism and his ability
to escape the pocket, although those are things when you're
young that can help, but standing in there, you know,
(28:12):
in the face of blitzers that are unblocked and throwing
dimes down the field. The way the team and really
the city rallied around him, the excitement surrounding them now,
it just hasn't been there.
Speaker 9 (28:23):
In a long time. So, you know, with quarterbacks, it's interesting.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
C J.
Speaker 9 (28:27):
Stroud, we saw it last year.
Speaker 11 (28:28):
He took a step back and he had such an
amazing rookie year. I don't think that's going to happen
with Jayden. I think this team is too talented. I
think they've got a lot of great people around him.
Kingsbury really understands them, so I'm excited to see what happens.
But they are certainly a team that everybody wants to
play for now, which we haven't been able to say
in a long time, and certainly a team that is
(28:50):
no longer circled.
Speaker 9 (28:51):
As an automatic win. When you're going to play.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Washington, FITZI, I know you probably remember this, but I
played against you in twenty eighteen when you played for
the Bucks and you came to New Orleans and you
threw for like over four hundred yards and like four
five touchdowns and fits magic and all of that stuff. Well,
there's a quarterback over there by the name of Baker
Mayfield who's been there for two years now on the
NFC South twice. What is it about Baker Mayfield. He's
(29:17):
one of the most underrated quarterbacks in this league. What
is it about Baker Mayfield to you that stands out
the most.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 11 (29:25):
Baker's here as well, doesn't doesn't have a great golf
game right now, doesn't have a great golf game.
Speaker 9 (29:30):
Okay, That's why I love him, because just you gravitate
towards him.
Speaker 11 (29:35):
Just having some guys that I've played with and through
to in Tampa that are still there, with Mike and
Chris Godwin. They love the guy. He competes, he gives
him a chance. And you know that's going to be
an interesting situation too, with losing Liam Cohen and having
Josh guars Arm and having been with a new coordinator.
Baker's really going to help him out. And Josh, I
(29:57):
was with him in miami's a really smart guy. He's
a Yale guy. So that's going to be see how
that plays out. But when you when you sit and
look at the quarterbacks around the league, the must watch
like must see TV guys, Baker's right up there with
all of them, I say he's probably you know, Josh
Allen Baker, Mayfield, Lamar Jackson one two three, probably for me,
(30:20):
But my son Jake Baker's his favorite quarterback. And he's
now changed his name to Jaker.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
Yes, I love that. Jacob Fitzpatrick, that's awesome. I think
it's got a ring to it.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Before you go, fits, let's finish with golf. You know,
I've heard Charles Barkley talk about before everybody makes fun
of his swing, and he says, listen, I've been the
NBA a VP, I've been to the finals.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
I've played against Michael Jordan.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
But when I'm standing over that golf ball, I am
so terrified. It's like I'm not even myself. When you're
on the first t and all the famous people there
and the movie stars and this guy and that guy
and that girl, like do you find a calm or
are you terrified as well?
Speaker 9 (31:03):
Yeah, I'm just a very average golfer.
Speaker 11 (31:05):
And so the problem here at the American Century is
the people that are standing around watching think that you're professionals.
They think they're at a PGA event, and so they're
standing in places could not be standing.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
No, No, that's what.
Speaker 11 (31:22):
You just hope that you get through the weekend without
hitting anybody with the ball, and if you do hit
them with the ball, that they don't get hurt. And
you could sign a glove and give it to them.
But I think that's a number one thing. And why
I am nervous out here, it's not because I don't
want to be embarrassed and top a ball or hit
one in the water. It's because I did not want
to hit some You know seven year old lady that
(31:44):
sits out there to see George Kittle.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
And I'm sorry I left you with a permanent welt
on your back. But here's an autograph glove from Ryan
to make you feel better. Fitz tell us about whole
seventeen because that's where they go nuts, right, Like what's
that like?
Speaker 9 (32:01):
Yeah, it's insane.
Speaker 11 (32:02):
So they throw a basketball whoop on there and you
get to shoot a little bit, but that's essentially the whole.
All the fans kind of congregate around seventeen. It's right
on the water, so you're going to see fifty to
one hundred boats out there. You're going to see some
other things. They've got my eighteen year old son on
the bag, so he's going to learn some things. Ladies
and bikinis and seeing things he probably hasn't seen before.
Speaker 9 (32:25):
But it is.
Speaker 11 (32:26):
It's electric. It's so much fun. The wind is really swirling,
so it's not necessarily the easiest hole to hit two,
and they'll let you know if you don't put it
on the green, they'll give you a few booze.
Speaker 9 (32:37):
But it is.
Speaker 11 (32:38):
It is an awesome spectacle and really fun to be
a part of.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
It's great, well you were an awesome dad man then
we were all parents here and we love that you're
doing that and participating like that. So hit him high
Greens and fairways. Try not to take anybody's eye out
fits and say hi to Jaker for us.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
You're the man. Thanks for coming on all right.
Speaker 9 (32:57):
You guys are the best.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Thank you you get a man brother.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
Thanks if it's sick ever Brood five more
