Was lovely?

Speaker 1 (00:49):
I did that? Yes? Who did that? Eric? Behind the glass.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
I'd have to get back into Google. The Gmail. Oh yeah,
the Gmail is actually at my desktop, guys, not on.

Speaker 5 (01:03):
For different theme songs for Colleen. We're still Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
This is from I think a twenty twenty email that
I got.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Well, that's so nice, thank you very much.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
I will accept all right, and we will credit whoever it.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
Is by the episode. I'll drop a slack to you
right now.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Dan, all right, great? Well Connie? How are you okay?

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Great? I haven't seen you guys in a while, so
this is nice.

Speaker 6 (01:24):
I'm going to Tybee tomorrow morning, brig we have a
six am flight. Sessler is house sitting for us and
dog sitting Memorial Day weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
So Dan, what are you doing in my life?

Speaker 1 (01:36):
I am wait?

Speaker 5 (01:37):
Is that a true story? Mark? Really?

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:39):
They finally have hired a professional to take care of
their animals.

Speaker 5 (01:43):
Didn't Erica do it once?

Speaker 3 (01:46):
I believe it was our friend Emily who used to
work here.

Speaker 5 (01:48):
Emily, It's okay.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
I will be spending time with my family, but I
will be happy to help out Mark if any issues arise.
I know there's two dogs. That's a lot of that's
a lot of You're a dog owner, so I certainly am.
But I'll be busy with that dog too, and on
the priority list. Then your two.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Dogs, Dasher might murder captains.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
He might. Okay, how is everybody doing? From the Office
of Corrections and Omissions for around the NFL? Apparently some whoppers?

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (02:27):
In terms of misfires.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
And we own these.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
This is that's a great way to put it. Let's
start with uh the category of pronunciation. Uh the term
for excessive hair growth greg on unexpected areas of the body,
such as the face, chest, and back. Not here stute
it is your suit.

Speaker 5 (02:52):
I mean, I just tripped over that one again and again.
I don't know why I wrote it down, and I
hope you haven't been trying to use the word her
suit to impress your friends or her stute, because that
would be wearing her suit.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
That's only you were here on Monday, Colleen.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
I was listening.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Oh you clocked it immediately.

Speaker 6 (03:13):
Yeah, well, Dan told me to listen to the last episode.
I thought it was a test, so I did it.

Speaker 5 (03:18):
To be ready for this one. Yes, to not double
up and whatnot correct, So I did my homework.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
I'm a professional, she sure is, folks. And then we
have in the department of mathematics, which I'm not taking
any l on this one because everyone knows where I
stand in this category. I'm leaning on the other guys.
Six point five billion was in this room said to

(03:45):
be that extra point five was three hundred thousand wells,
the actual mark six point five billion is actually six
billion plus.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
I don't I'm not. I stopped doing the equate the
work on this. I'm taking the matvell. I did a
Google search and probably plugged in the wrong numbers, which
is I know, Dan's like the I'm not good at
math guy, but like I belong to that club to
some degree too. That's been a historical uh, problem for myself.

Speaker 6 (04:11):
I don't think anyone was expecting you guys to get
the math right.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
All right, so we still don't know. Then.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
I don't know if it's this show needs I think
you're delivering those that problems.

Speaker 5 (04:21):
I think the world can move on. The billionaires that
are buying this great organization soon to be great.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
It's fifty million, like they've got a lot of fifty million.
That sounds more six fifty million dollars. So uh And
even to my point that I was making on the
Monday program, what are we doing? Why we adding the
point zh five because it was fifty million dollars extra
on the purchase price. That adds up. It's fair that
ain't pennies in the old give a penny, take a
penny till.

Speaker 5 (04:51):
It's kind of a rounding error. Though, when you're buying
a six billion dollar team, that's insane.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
That's true. Wow, that's true. Mark, How are you waving
that card in front of your face? You got the vapors.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
I feel horrible that you should have worn the jean jacket.
I don't know if that would have saved what's happening here,
but I am here to do my best and I will.
That's also what we are about. I don't even know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
I proceed gingerly because I know I don't want to
get on your fashion choices. You're wearing kind of a
winter coat right now, or at least a it's very late.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
No, it's very late. It's very it's a light coat.

Speaker 6 (05:26):
I just want to say that I had been scrolling
through Instagram after the Monday Show and I stopped dead
in my tracks when I saw your jacket because I
liked it that much.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
So I was aligned.

Speaker 6 (05:37):
And when I listened to the show, I was like,
oh my god, they liked it too, so's choice.

Speaker 5 (05:42):
Now Mark's looking totally refreshed, like he just came out
of a shower. A woman says something nice to him,
and he's good.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Right, he has perked up, all right. And before we
get into part two of the Glossary, which Colleen is
one prepared for, I am on a almost an absurd level,
some say two prepared.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
I've been preparing for days.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
I want to check in with one other topic from
the Monday app. Wow, my new favorite guy Mike North. Okay,
Peter North of scheduling. Love this guy. Love everything about him, and.

Speaker 5 (06:21):
You could have put this as the end. I suppose
that's Connie's letter though, Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
I just want to say that here, let me put
it this way before I get into it, because I
know there are If you're looking for an NFL podcast
that will tell you why the swing tackle of the
Bengals is an issue because he's opening up his hips
too quickly in third down passing situations. If you were

(06:48):
looking for a braggy podcast where someone's clocking that cool,
go find it. But I dare you to find another
NFL podcast that is more on top of profound bulls
like this. We're all over stuff like this, like North
coming out strong and talking about the Bengals raising their
hand and saying they wanted to be on Black Friday,
not this year, but every year. Clearly that ruffled some feathers.

(07:12):
And then North went out and did more media.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
No he didn't, and he's the best.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
He was on the Adam Schefter podcast. And then just
listen to the wording here for Mike. The Jets, once
they found out they were the host team then started
to think about, Hey, is this something we could make
a permanent fixture as part of the NFL schedule. Maybe
they didn't raise their hands in February, but now that
they've been selected as the Black Friday host, I think
they might be interested in it too. Love this guy.

(07:39):
He's just kind of floating things out there for us
during the slow part of the year to aggregate. And
I got to say, North to the.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Moon, he's our north Star.

Speaker 5 (07:48):
Bang now you were on.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Now you got on the Bengals for being a little
bit too volunteerish, I would say, right now, the Jets
have done apparently done the same thing.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Are you do you but listen to the listen to
the wording here. The Jets, once they found out they
were the host team, then started to think about and
then he added, maybe they didn't raise their hands in February,
but now that they've been selected, they might be interested
in it too. There's not even any proof that, according
to what Mike Noran said, that they even did that.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
If you if you look at the word and you're right,
he sort of danced around, know something.

Speaker 5 (08:22):
Are you at all concerned that Mike North, who has
been with the company for twenty five years, is going
to get called into the principal's office and maybe told like, hey,
maybe ixnay on the idiom. May you know, little less North,
a little less North, a little more. Just let the

(08:43):
schedule speak for itself.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
That would be a mistake.

Speaker 5 (08:46):
That would be a mistake, cause I'm saying he's adding
a lot of pop.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Yeah, I mean, if if nothing else, this is a
very boring time of year. And anyone that wants to
bring some sizzle, you know, bring out a faida plate sizzling.
Everybody gets excited when the Falda plate pops through the doors.
That's what Mike North is doing right now. So dream on,
Mike North, make that content, all right?

Speaker 5 (09:11):
Anything else did I tell you? I I sat talking
groups today Mike North? You know back in the day.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Oh you yes, you shared an office.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
That anecdote was.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
It's a well worn anecdote. It's a good one. Though.
Did you ever go out to lunch with it?

Speaker 5 (09:27):
No? I don't think I went out to lunch with
the single member of the New York office there. I
mean they didn't. They weren't taking lunch as they weren't
asking me to go to lunch occasionally.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Said you were there for like over a year, right, Well, I.

Speaker 5 (09:41):
Would you go out and get like a hot I
would only get once or once or twice a week
in the in the office. In one of those days
was Sunday when basically no one was there. Uh but
everyone just went down and they got said they went
down and got street food because as good as the
hudder was the street food banging and right there, I
just get the streetmissary. Both you go back, you see

(10:04):
someone you know maybe down at the street food. Yeah,
you sit there. But it's a.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Truth truth. All right, let's get into it. Okay, is
everyone ready? Colleen? Your nails are outrageous. Way give people tap.
I think that's the whole industry of audio files for you.
It's wild. All right, get us going. We're picking up
with the letter.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
Sound effect right there.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
And okay, So for n I went, but we already
did that on Monday.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
You did not, I know, I mean just as proof.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
I took notes B for Boying.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, I was like, how do I scon that's correct?

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Great b O I n G.

Speaker 6 (10:49):
Okay, So Nader as in where the Bears have been,
but it doesn't quite feel that they are at their
lowest or had been at their lowest, because I think
there's so much optimism around all of the moves that
they've made. So I think the clouds are lifting this
off season, and I feel excited about the Bears, which
is kind of strange. I think that it's going to

(11:10):
be by the time training camp rolls around, maybe I
will be sick of this talking about them, but especially
with Rogers out of the division. I really love the
way that this Bears team is intriguing me right now.
Like of course, the coaching staff kind of struggled to
find an identity out of the gate last year, and
they didn't have any pass catchers for justin fields. But

(11:31):
I love them bringing in DJ Moore, they finally have
a number one guy for justin fields. They fixed or
at least they addressed the offensive line, drafting Darnell right
have a new face at right guard to and then
the defense bring in the Eds. Happy about that, TJ
Edwards and Tremaine Edmonds. I mean, I just think you're

(11:51):
making that you guys have EDGs in your famis in their.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Good and bring a little heat himself, little sizzle, that's
very true. Oh absolutely, Let's fly.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
Yeah. So it's one of the youngest rosters in the league,
so that I.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
Finally found a show that you should listen to.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
You know what, the Bears are you the Deer and
is for Deer.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
I am a little concerned because it was about a
year ago at this time that I recall you deeply
hyping up the Indianapolis Cups apocalyptic. But I I think
the thing you have that you're completely right about is
the Bears on offense were vastly entertaining a year ago.
Minus all these parts, they already were doing it because

(12:44):
of the quarterbacks. So it's like I I the only
thing that stands out to me is like there, if
they really thrive, probably their offensive coordinator gets yanked out
for a head coaching job and you're stuck with one
of these defensive minded coaches and Mattiebraflus, who's the most
To me, I just don't understand who is this pot
I'm waiting. It's kind of how I felt about like
Zach Taylor a couple of years ago until you learn

(13:04):
I don't I don't know if he's the guy to
do it, but like, uh, why not? The Bears are
far more interesting than they've ever been. During the run
of the show.

Speaker 5 (13:11):
Iber Flus was absolutely the coach one of the coaches
that Travis Kelsey when he went through and was like,
who's that. That guy's in the NFL that the coaches
are my biggest concern. You mentioned you know, maybe their
offensive coordinator gets plucked. That would be a great problem.
I don't know what I'm getting in Luke Getzy. He
was a first time play caller. Last year. They weren't
They weren't great. They didn't have a lot of talent,

(13:33):
but they weren't great defense. They were terrible. And I
think you're right, they've hit them the deer. I think
there's a reason to be excited better of I love
that Chase Claypool instead of trying to be a savior,
is like a three, and I kind of like Tyler
Scott their fourth round pick gotta getting in the mix
is a nice four. And you have Cole Kmet So
now you know, maybe Chase Claypool is your three or

(13:55):
your four behind DJ Mood, behind Mooney. The offensive line
is definitely better. It's more of the defense that I'm
concerned about. Upfront, they're not great and ibra Flus didn't
show anything. I'd like to see a little bit of
schematic advantage if you're a defensive coach and they were
the worst defensive league, and Bears fans will say, oh,
they had no talents like some other teams had no
talent too, and they were closer to okay, So I

(14:18):
like them, But I think two things can be true.
They're getting better, they're more exciting, and I don't like
the fact that they have the same over underwin total
as the Packers and only one less than the Vikings.
I don't see those three as close. You got to
show it to me a little bit.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
I think they are. And I'm with you cause I've
talked about this and I talked about it with Adam Rank,
a huge Bears fan, on his Bears podcast, that they
do check all the boxes for a team that's going
to make a big jump and potentially contend in that division,
which is much as everyone's gassing up the Lions. Would

(14:51):
shock you. If that's a very tight division December with
no team running away with it, it would not shock
me at all. If that said, are they maybe the
fools gold pick for the team where everyone says they're
going to be better because you do need the defense
to figure out something and be more competitive, and then
you are putting a lot on Justin Fields, a quarterback

(15:12):
who's dynamic and exciting but has had some issues with
injuries himself and as a passer. There's still room for growth.
I love that they have added weapons. I love that
Fields will enter a season healthier with a better offensive line.
But there are there is a way, and you don't
have to squint that this doesn't work out, And coaching
is part of it too. There's a concern there.

Speaker 6 (15:32):
I need Eberflus to have some type of like spicy
fun fact that drops this summer during training camp.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
We need that.

Speaker 5 (15:38):
Yeah, I just need.

Speaker 6 (15:39):
I need a little more personality out of him, and
then maybe I'll.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
Be more of a believer.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
Some texture, spicy, if you're spicy, spicy, stay spicy.

Speaker 5 (15:47):
For the most part, they call him Flus his friends
pretty good. That's okay. My thing is like, if they
get to seven wins, that's more than doubling their win total.
That'd be to me a big It's going from three
to seven. That'd be a big jump. But you still
be on the under and you still you know.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
Oh my god, this is going to be my adults.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
Don't let it in.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
Don't let it came from the cold.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
Yeah, there's concerns here.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Conye, don't let doubt creep in.

Speaker 5 (16:16):
He hit the definitely hit they hit them the deer,
though you can't say they didn't.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
And I do love they open the season at home
against a Packers team in transition. Big Week one is
big for everybody for the Bears. If they can get
out a Week one with a big performance and everyone's
fields lights it up and DJ Moore has one hundred
and twenty yards receiving, man, they could set you out
a trajectory.

Speaker 5 (16:39):
They did beat the forty nine ers. You look at
a Week one, you know, we have a pianol of.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
Glass here and there's there's a like a school group
watching us, and I feel like I'm about to faint.
So I hope that happens in front of a school group.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
Is it Chrissie Stapleton? Is it Inglewood High School?

Speaker 5 (16:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (16:54):
They're they're they're here in the building and they just
want to take a look at you, Mark specifically.

Speaker 3 (16:59):
On field trip.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
This is why Marcus sweating.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
This would be a bad episode to faint if like
fourteenth school children saw you, Why is that change their lives?

Speaker 5 (17:07):
Why is that man in the parka so much.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
I'm having a weird day.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Oh is for overkill? Actually, you know, let me do
this overkill?

Speaker 2 (17:19):
M okay?

Speaker 1 (17:21):
This according to Awful Announcing. I like that site. I
read that site a fair bit.

Speaker 5 (17:29):
Old school blog.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
Mm hmmm. Back in the day, Jim Nance, here's the
headline says he and Tony Romo could call nine Kansas
City Chiefs games this season. Here's the quote from Nance.
This is what it used to be like packing the
Brady Belichick days. Phil and I would do eight or
nine Patriots games a year. I want to say to
that is that the right way to use your number

(17:53):
one team. Is there a case to be made that
you don't essentially make the Chiefs and whoever they're playing
the focus of your your top one team, not just
your top announcers, but also your top production team and
all that. Is there a better case to be made
for spreading it out, Connie and give them. Of course,

(18:14):
you're gonna cover plenty of Chiefs, but you want to
spread out your number one team across the landscape. If
the Chiefs are as good as we always expected to
be in the playoffs, cover all the Chiefs you want
during the AFC that side of the postseason. But let's
we don't need to do it the way we've always
done it, changing things up. The Wizard is still.

Speaker 6 (18:33):
The Chiefs are the best team. Don't you want your
best team on it?

Speaker 5 (18:38):
Really?

Speaker 1 (18:38):
Though, because there's so many exciting players and teams across
the landscape. I guess how many times Mark do we
need to hear Tony Romo talk about how Patrick Mahomes
is a wizard.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
We radar for you, absolutely, because I think it's been
seasons in a row where I feel like Tony Romo,
who's maybe literally overly critiqued in general at this point,
like let's find a little bit better like things to
do with our time. But like he runs out of
stuff to say about Patrick Mahomes, like we all do,

(19:09):
and it's like I don't need them to do nine
Chiefs games. I think also for them, it's not a
great exercise to do the same team over and over.
I I just feel slight exhaustion when it's the same
subject matter.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
We wonder why and again Tony Romo seems bored these
days because he's doing the same thing. It's ground dog
day in that booth.

Speaker 5 (19:27):
I mean, I hear you. But if you're picking different
games just so that your guy making thirty million dollars
a year doesn't get bored, that's too much. He's not
making three. It's like, how about just be a pro?

Speaker 1 (19:38):
How about us? Though? As the as the fans, don't
you want to hear? You have other guys in the
booth that maybe you'd like to hear what their thoughts
are about what.

Speaker 6 (19:44):
Sure, but nobody's going to be more prepared to talk
about the Chiefs than the guys who are only covering
the Chiefs pretty much.

Speaker 5 (19:50):
I agree too. And when you're when you're when you're
a patriot, when they when it was Sims and Nance
for all those games, there's an absolute fatigue for the fan.
It's like I heard Phil Simms's, Bill Belichick's stories so
many times that after a certain point, you're right.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
Yeah, I think you run you run out of content.
Right in the course of one season where they're doing
nine games, there's gonna be a week where they do
that back to back at something.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
I mean, how many times did you hear Romo last season?
Got like, Jim, I can't believe it. Mahomes about of
things to say. Well, then find someone who has something
to say.

Speaker 5 (20:25):
Right when it's when it's the Bills, when it's Bengals.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Late in the editor's note, he never said that.

Speaker 5 (20:32):
I do love that they set those the Bills in
Bengals games up in December for the Chiefs because to me,
that is getting back to what Jim Nance is talking about,
whether it was Patriots, Colts, whether it was forty nine
Ers Cowboys in the day. To me, Bill's Bengals Chiefs.
That's that right now, and I want Nance and Rome
on those. But what you're absolutely when it's earlier in

(20:52):
the season, it's like at Vikings, they're set up for
a one to twenty five. Yeah, yeah, like Chargers. Let's
give that to Anvil Network or something.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
Chargers is always pretty good though, that's true.

Speaker 5 (21:03):
That's that's often the pot time.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Pee Greg all right, uh.

Speaker 5 (21:08):
P is for the panic pivot, and that's what I
won't have to do today. So the panic pivot, if
you're a fan of the glassery going back, it's like,
we don't necessarily plan.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
What we made like seventeen hours ago.

Speaker 5 (21:20):
I'm just making pivot. It's what happens, you know, if
someone took your topic already you got to do a
panic pivot. Panic piv, You're got to come up with
a whole new way to spin that word. I'm not
gonna have to do the panic pivot because I'm taking
the Raiders who have been in the news. I wanted
to revisit the Raiders. To me, this was a hot top,
so it's a regular old pivot. I'm just I'm letting

(21:42):
the audience know what a panic pivot is.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
Power pivot.

Speaker 5 (21:44):
That's part of the glassery.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
Somebody is getting someone's just been put into.

Speaker 5 (21:48):
Okay, that's what I was looking for.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
I kind of wanted so power pivot into a panic
pivot for Sessler.

Speaker 6 (21:54):
I thought that Elle already covered the Raiders. Though, if
I remember quickly from our last episode was an l I.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
Think there's a reason to be on the Raiders peace
and I know where you're going with this, and this
adds some context to where we were with the writers
more news.

Speaker 5 (22:08):
This happened since we talked. I also wanted to revisit
them because uh, Mark put them in a body bag
and like threw them into a river and just might
not have any Raiders fans left that point, got onto.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
Good Morning Football. I was told this morning, that's amazing.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
How about you get Good Morning Football. They use the
content from the show.

Speaker 5 (22:25):
That's apparently, but you know what, Mark deserves a little
credit because I'm guessing you asked for that social clip
and then they see the social clip or the social
team put together the social clip, and then they see
that and then they put it on good warning.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
It works autopsy full.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
So they used the clip from our show on their program.

Speaker 3 (22:42):
That's what I was told. I didn't I didn't witness
it with my eyes, but someone in the newsroom inform
you of that when I walked.

Speaker 5 (22:48):
There's no reason to doubt. Don't doubt Jeremy Bergman or
whoever it was.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
You know what it makes me feel. I want Mary
like that clip. Bring Mark on the show, all the guys.

Speaker 3 (22:58):
That's very early in the morning. Totally fine with how
they handled it.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
Season.

Speaker 5 (23:04):
So we're revisiting the Raiders because of this DeVante Adams
story and another one that I'm gonna throw it, but
Devanta Adams had some very interesting quotes to the Ringer
was a really good article. It's by Marine Fader. I
believe it was her name. She wrote this great book
on Yannis too. She's she's one of the best sports
writers out there. So check out the whole article because
I think it deserves to be read in context. But

(23:25):
the part that got people's attention was him saying him
in the front office aren't seeing eye to eye right now,
that they kind of talk to him about what they
were gonna do with this offseason and they think the
route they're going is the best bet to be urgent,
but he doesn't quite agree with that. He said, I'm
gonna have to buy into this and try to be
as optimistic as possible. It's not what I expected to happen,

(23:48):
but it's something that's the reality. And I'm like, what
is he talking about exactly. I guess bringing in Jimmy
G that's part of it, because he's kind of a
deep threat, and Jimmy G's a very short thrower, a
dink and dunk kind of thrower. And Adams does later
say it depends on the style of ball we play.
If we play a certain brand of ball, I can
get Garoppolo to conform to whatever. I like that, but

(24:09):
if we use him a certain type of way, and
I'm reading into this the way that they're gonna use
him then it's gonna make us tough to maximize who
he should be this year compelling.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
So I went and looked at, like, around these quotes,
what else was happening. And he went out of his
way to sort of say he doesn't know Jimmy g
and everyone that's come out of the woodwork to tell
DeVante Adams he's a great leader. You're gonna love him.
And so it wasn't like there wasn't animosity. No, these
are really strong quotes, I thought, and like, the first
thing that came to mind, and the reason that I
was gonna use it for my upcoming letter, was that.

Speaker 5 (24:40):
You're gonna have to panic pivot.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
Oh he is I already told you yesterday, like I have,
I have contingency plans because I knew this would happen.
Oh yeah, so yeah. But I will say I think
that I could just see a world under the Josh
McDaniels system. This is my issue with the raiderstle. I
think Josh McDaniels is a bit of a tough guy
to get along with for certain players. I I wouldn't
be surprised if DeVante Adams is somewhere else by the

(25:03):
end of the season. I just think if it gets
if it just grows more and more cantankerous. It's like,
what's the long term plan with DeVante Adams?

Speaker 1 (25:11):
I had this as one of mine too, so I
under totally under control. Pivot coming up later, it's.

Speaker 5 (25:16):
A panic pretend this it was for.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
W So I'm totally under control. I got so much time.
I think there are three pound the table Hall of
Fame wide receivers active right now. Uh tyreek Uh. Justin
Jefferson is obviously a little more of a projection, but
you know he's special and we know it. And Davante
and I I'm with you. I feel like right now

(25:41):
he made that other point. I don't know if you
said it that he was like, this isn't that whole
thing where it's like I came here to be cute
with Derek, Like, yes, that was the narrative, the dominant
storyline going in to last year, or how all these
college best friends are now playing together, Like he came
there to be on a contender and win a Super Bowl. Yeah,
and also show that he could do it without Aaron Rodgers.
He did it. He showed he could do it without

(26:03):
Aaron Rodgers. But he's not on a team that's close
to a Super Bowl, So yeah, it would it be
shocking if he was on the move. No, I don't
think she would be shocking at all. He is a
fascinating chip to dangle the trade deadline for a team
that wants to get over the hump, especially maybe a
team where their quarterback has a lot of familiarity with
the wide receiver and maybe they have a little bit

(26:25):
of a hole in their wide receiver room. You guys
could put that together. I don't know who that might be,
but it's something to watch. I agree.

Speaker 6 (26:32):
I was kind of fascinated by the fact that he
said that this was the first year meeting last year
that he would have cared if he didn't get that
all pro nod, because his whole goal was to just
show everyone and like he was the guy and that
he had been overshadowed by Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay
all these years.

Speaker 5 (26:50):
And he's a His friend that was quoted in the
article was saying like he's getting used to be in
the face of the franchise, which is a little different,
and that's probably true. Right now, he is their leader,
he is their best player. He's also like incredibly intelligent
and is good in front of a microphone, and everyone
respects him. But the part that I guess maybe you
have to give McDaniel some credit that he said that

(27:11):
they kind of involved him in these moves that they made.
They talk to him at least, and they don't see
eye to eye, but it was like it sounded like
what we want, which is mature adults actually talking about
the direction of the franchise and there's some disagreement, and
he's saying it in a respectful way here publicly, so
I don't think there's any screaming like headline or anything.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
Oh, it's getting aggregated in a somewhat disrespectful way to
what he was actually saying. But that's part of it.

Speaker 5 (27:34):
But part of it was there's this other thing out there,
and our coworker David Carr retweeted it yesterday, and I
have to admit I was not familiar with the source
that he retweeted. It's a man named Hondo Carpenter who
works for SI dot com and it's like a fan site,
but he is there asking questions and is part of
the media. Hondo Carpenter, and he says that he thinks

(27:56):
Hunter Renfro's not gonna be on this team. That he
thinks that something could happen post June first. And I'm thinking,
why would happen post June first, Like they could just
predate it if they wanted to cut, but that would
be a trade post June first. And this guy who
has been around the team and says, this is what
he's hearing, And our friend Derek David Carr is wondering, Hm,
maybe we can get old Hunter over to New Orleans.

(28:18):
That's why he was tweeting about it. But I see
it's just something to watch because Hunter Renfro would have
trade value. And then if like Davante knows a little
bit about that, maybe that informs it.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
It's all just interesting, little thorny.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
Let's take a break and then move on. All right,
we're back Mark Sessler. The panic pivot is on the
letter Q toffy toffy on a pivot all right, Uh, I.

Speaker 3 (28:43):
Have a little something on the pitch steal. So Q
is for quiz me this. Why are we sleeping on
the Steelers? Why are we acting as if the Steelers
are nothing more than a side piece in the AFC,
A plant being destined to produce only dark fruit. When
the Steelers will win eleven or twelve games and ship
all memories of big Ben deep into the world of yesterday,

(29:06):
there is no more big Ben. Big Ben is days
gone by horse and Buggy. Big Ben is a texture
mill in central Oklahoma. Big Ben is a parabolic mic
along the interstate. The Steelers will win a playoff game
at the very least in middle December. Mike Tomlin will
march into a dive bar in Moon Township and buy
the entire house a cocktail of their choice. They will

(29:27):
laud him as a king. Twenty five cartons of Chinese
food will be brought in General Sal's Chicken, various chow mains,
platters of white rice, and then the tavern will quiet
as a young child named Wedgley stands atop the bar
and reads from a fortune cookie. Lucky numbers seven, twenty one,
thirty six, forty nine, fifty five Fortune animals will be

(29:48):
able to speak telepathically with their owners by twenty forty nine.
My Fortune Steelers twelve and five AFC title game, Oh
Seacrest out.

Speaker 5 (29:56):
Put that on DMFB that was not your The whole thing.
The Fortune Pies all of it. Kyle, let's put put
that out on the show. Actually, mark On, I'm gonna
say early in the show, as early as possible.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
He'll be awake, He'll be away that you're perfect for
Good Morning Football.

Speaker 6 (30:15):
I say, I feel strongly that the Steelers are being
massively overlooked.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
You want to go telecast nine Chiefs games? I think
the Steelers when they have an off here, Mike Tomlin
wins nine games.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
Right. I guess my my only thing was, like I
would not want to watch a ton of Steelers games
in the in the number one slot on CBS. I
don't find them. They're good sighting, you know. I also
don't I don't see it in this conference like a
path to twelve wins. But is Kenny Pickett a star.

Speaker 3 (30:47):
In this equation? I think that we get year two
of Kenny Pickett. Who I mean, I thought down the
stretch because he's.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
Got to be kind of like close to a young
star caliber.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
Yes, I think I think he is the perfect fit
for Pittsburgh. He might not be somewhere else, but there's
something about the whole thing. And I thought he was
just super clutch late in games when it mattered improved
in November and December, and we saw improvement and it's
like he made Mitch Trubisky a complete memory.

Speaker 6 (31:10):
Thinking about that Christmas Eve game against the Raiders where
Kenny Pickett through I think it was Pickett to Pickens
and you were there, Yeah, and that game was so
exciting and the Steeler, like the Raiders lost that game
twenty seven different ways. But then Kenny Pickett had some
juice with the offense and Najie Harris and I kind

(31:31):
of like what they have going on there. They're not
the most exciting team on paper, but they could be.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
I like their draft. They've addressed the offensive line. We
talked about that after the draft. That get back to
being the Steelers and see if naj Harris is really
worth what you invested in him in terms of as
a producer.

Speaker 5 (31:48):
What do you think, Greggy, I love what Mark's selling here.
To me. I don't know if they're going to win
eleven or twelve. The trick is I like all these
AFC North teams on paper.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Yeah, where do you at twelve wins? If they rate
it can't work out the way.

Speaker 5 (32:02):
But the over under I think might feel the strongest
one in the entire division would be them over eight
and a half. Like I, I agree that that is
under selling where they are in their development, that they
should be looked at. And I think I'll be putting
them in the playoffs as well. So I'm in it.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
Won nine last year eight and a half. You said
loving eight and a half, I would bang the over
on that. Yeah, I think nine or ten feels right.

Speaker 3 (32:25):
Twelve was a little rich. But this is the game
you play. You have to say this now and so
when it doesn't happens, but when it does, so let's
make them remember.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
Just a quick look at the before we move on.
So you got Cincinnati coming off they're at eleven and
a half, a twelve win season. Uh, they're still going
to be great. The Ravens got Lamar and added to
the wide receiver room nine and a half. We like
the Ravens. The Browns. We just talked about the Browns
as a team that if Deshaun Watson bounces back at all.

Speaker 5 (32:49):
They're nine and a half too. So they're at the
same level over under as the But this Craven.

Speaker 3 (32:53):
This can't happen. See where like that we have everyone
in the I predict that like two of these four
teams were talking are gonna flat line due to chaos
that we don't see how it.

Speaker 5 (33:03):
Can come close though, because we mentioned it on the
schedule release show. They play the AFC South at a
division in the NFC West, which you know has got
a couple of good teams, but the Rams and the
Cardinals might not be so great.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
This is going to play out very well for yet
another one seed for the Chiefs because while they get
to beat up on the Raiders and the Broncos and
torture the Chargers, I feel like the AFC East is
just so competitive they're going to cannibalize themselves a little bit.
Same thing with the AFC North, where I think ten
eleven wins probably takes that division. The South I'm not

(33:35):
ready to take seriously as a real entity in terms
of the playoffs. I think that will depress the win
totals of the teams, because I do think you're right,
there's always a chance one or two of these teams tank,
But right now they all look pretty competitive with quarterbacks.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
Well, they had a nine to ten and twelve win
team a year ago, so it's you know, business as usual.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
Yeah, Okay, quiz me this because you could just slide it.
You slid out.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
Like the way there. I actually had that entry in
three different letters, like I just wherever it wherever it.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
That is smart smart.

Speaker 6 (34:14):
I got very distracted reading about the Steelers new secret
offensive coordinator assistant Glenn Thomas.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
So maybe that's something that you guys need to put
on your radar.

Speaker 5 (34:24):
Okay, there's I remember when Matt Canada, who's there U
in peril though, see that no one likes, was once
kind of the secret offensive assistant that was helping the
former offensive coordinatoruntil they got rid of him and lifted
up Canada.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
You have some Canada anti Canada takes too, don't you.

Speaker 3 (34:42):
I did in the middle of last season, but I
warmed up to him.

Speaker 5 (34:44):
A not a big Canada guy all right.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
Up next are Connie are Rich.

Speaker 6 (34:50):
That's where I'm going here, as in I'm waiting to
see when Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert get that quarterback money.
They both have these two years left on their but
now the Lamar and Jalen Hurts signed theirs, there's some
more comps to work with for the front offices.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
Joe Burrow says that he's pretty clear.

Speaker 6 (35:09):
On what he wants in the negotiations that are going
on right now.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
The Justin Herbert talks are pretty quiet, but.

Speaker 6 (35:16):
I'm really interested to see how what the years are
on both of these deals. Because Jalen and Lamar both
signed five year deals. I think that these both of
these the Bengals and the Chargers, both of these franchises
are owned by families that I think that they're going
to want to push the years hard on these deals.
So I'm interested to see where did the year's land

(35:38):
and where the money lands for both of these.

Speaker 5 (35:39):
Guys, and the guaranteed money, because you mentioned it, I
don't think these teams have as much cash as others
because of the nature of their ownership. We went through
the whole escrow thing. We don't need to talk about escrow.
But it's kind of like for these fan bases, all right, Chargers, Bengals,
let's be grown ups. Let's just take care of this.
I think both quarterbacks are so low key they don't

(35:59):
want to have any big drama publicly. But there was
some talking Cincinnati. It's like forever that was Paul Brown Stadium, Remember,
they just wouldn't get a naming right and the whole
idea of them getting the naming rights was literally like
looking ahead to this Joe Burrow contract, like we better
we better sell it to Akroscher. I don't know is
it Akroscher? Who's Akrosher?

Speaker 2 (36:18):
I think it is.

Speaker 3 (36:20):
Acrosure is in the midd that's Pittsburgh. Don't they have
to have more guaranteed money? Mar Jackson pay Courts Stadia.
Don't you have to pay these guys more than Lamar Jackson?

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Right?

Speaker 5 (36:30):
So? And and Patrick Mahomes who signed that ten year contract,
which was interesting. It's probably gonna get a new contract
this offseason two, like a restructured one where he gets
more than Jalen Hurts too, So it's.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
All that's a fun one to watch, spicy whoever gets Yeah,
who gets more? That's good. Who's the highest paid player
in the league. That's how this ends, right, I think it'll.

Speaker 5 (36:50):
Be Mahomes Mahomes?

Speaker 1 (36:53):
Well, yeah, uh, let's see s that's me. Spoon perhaps
the most underrated rock band of its era, all things considered,
everyone likes Spoon, Greg they just don't know it.

Speaker 5 (37:08):
We were just talking about this.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
Yes, they have a song called the Underdog. I don't
know if you guys know it. You probably do. You
probably heard it, like, Oh, I liked the song. You
didn't know it was spoon. It was featured prominently in
one of those Spider Man movies with the new guy.

Speaker 5 (37:24):
I'm not aware not Andrew Garfield. Oh yeah, with a
tall girl's boyfriend.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (37:29):
I like that.

Speaker 5 (37:30):
We're really talking like middle aged you.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
Know, you know the kid, the boy with the glass.
He goes around with boyish charm charisma for days. Very
good actor, young actor. Anyway, that leads me to the
Arizona Cardinals. They are the ultimate underdogs entering twenty twenty three.
You ready for this? Here's a stat. The Cardinals have

(37:55):
opened as underdogs in all seventeen games this season, per DraftKings,
Ladies and gentlemen. Am I gonna do it? He's gonna
do it? Is there an oh to seventeen possibility in Arizona?

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Oh that's dark.

Speaker 3 (38:14):
I think that's so tough to achieve.

Speaker 5 (38:17):
And yet your team did it and contain almost did
it again. No, it's possible they did.

Speaker 3 (38:23):
I would say this like it's let's say there's a world,
and I think it's very possible where they start out
terribly and Kyler Murray. It's just sort of agreed that
we're not going to put Kyler Murray into the middle
of a car crash. And so you've got a combination
of Cault McCoy if he's even able to play at
this point, David Blow Jeff driscoll at quarterback. So that's

(38:43):
the roadmap to not win games and to get destroyed.
And I think they're the They're the one clear team
that like has a reason to get the number one
pick and has a reason to not put Kyler Murray
in Week twelve and try to win a few meaningless
games down the stretch. So it's possible they're the one
the first team I'd say possibility.

Speaker 5 (39:03):
I think it's possible because of the out of division schedule.
So you're you're at Washington, say Week one, like that
should be a somewhat winnable game, but with Colt McCoy's starting,
it's it's less winnable. I mean, as much of a
mess they were at the end of last season, they
were in all those games and they won. They won
some of them. You know, do they win that Atlanta game? No,
Atlanta won at the end, But like you look at

(39:24):
their schedule, and in each site I go to on
the side, it's like tickets as low as blank. And
usually for most team it's like one hundred and fifty dollars,
two hundred and thirty four dollars, and with the Cardinals,
it's just like twenty bucks, twenty five bucks, thirty five bucks.
Like you can get in. If you're into the Cardinals
this year, you can get into the building.

Speaker 6 (39:43):
I wonder if there'll be a team that is like
so the coast, so sideways that it's actually fun to
watch at a certain point, like it comes back around,
it goes so far heywire, and so it just becomes
comical at that point.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
I mean, that's if they get the Carson Wentz signing done.

Speaker 5 (40:02):
Yeah, they got it.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
They could be a wild if Carson Wentz is on
this stage in at.

Speaker 5 (40:05):
Houston week eleven. You're right, it's not. It's like not
the craziest thing. And unlike the NBA, which just had
the lottery, you know, you get that worst record, you
get that one pick, and if you listen to the
draft people, the quarterback draft people, some people like Drake
May more than Caleb Williams. So that this is a

(40:26):
year where I think there's gonna be two quarterbacks people
absolutely love, and there'll be a lot of motivation to
get to the bottom.

Speaker 1 (40:33):
Here are some great Spoon songs if people want to
check it out Wild, which is one of my favorite
songs the last couple of years. Anything you want the Underdog?
As I said, you got your cherry bomb? Do you?
Sister Jack? Inside out? I turned my camera on. I
think that was in the pilot of It's.

Speaker 3 (40:49):
A lot of songs, a lot of songs.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
The way we get by it's a great band.

Speaker 5 (40:54):
But as we as we were talking about it's a band,
you hear the song and you're like, oh, yeah, I
like this song. Who is this and someone goes like, oh,
it's Spooning, and near like yeah, I was like that.
I was like, Spoons. But then you don't follow up
and actually listen, that's my That's been my.

Speaker 1 (41:08):
I wonder if that's impacted their their bottom line in
a really egregious way, and it's probably very frustrating, But
shout out to Spoon. Speaking of Spoons, you remember Mark
back in the day. We're coming up on the year
anniversary of one of the most famous questions in the
history of around the NFL to cave on Thibodeau the
Giants defensive end. Let's listen in.

Speaker 3 (41:30):
You know, you've just gotten to know Brian Table, your
your new coach. Would you just instinctly do you think
he's more of a front spoon or a backspoon when
he is spooning someone.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
I don't answer those type of questions. That's a tough one.

Speaker 3 (41:45):
I mean, there was this decision because just like right now,
I was staring at, you know, my laptop and then
come up with a variety of questions for him. And
we had talked to him before and I thought that, uh,
you know, he was going to be.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
Game for he was a humorless boob.

Speaker 3 (41:58):
Yeah, but that wasn't the case.

Speaker 5 (42:00):
Yeah, No, I we were friends, were famous.

Speaker 1 (42:03):
When Greg was here, everything was under control.

Speaker 5 (42:05):
I connected with the youth.

Speaker 3 (42:07):
I was like, looking, I had I had a decision,
and it's like, I know this is not going great.
I make the decision to ask this question or pivot
off to something panic, pivot to something much more mundane.

Speaker 1 (42:17):
I was like, well, no, of course we're asking this question.
And it was the right move. As a journalist, it
was the right move. You know, there were some events
that came after the fact, after that interview, that the
public got an eye on some things for that young
man that maybe he does. You know, he could stand
to rethink some decisions. I put it that way.

Speaker 5 (42:34):
I do love as part of that clip before, it's
like Thibodeau barely had the words out of his mouth
and Dan's just like, oh, yeah, that's a hard question.
It's like board, It's like, let's let's throw Mark from
the boat.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
Well, no, you have to see his face. You have
to see his face as the question is being asked.
Because it was like a slow motion car crash. From
my seat, I was like, oh no, oh.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
No, I never really heard it describe that.

Speaker 1 (43:01):
I know.

Speaker 3 (43:02):
I did not leave big little right, I did not
describe a spoon.

Speaker 5 (43:05):
Yeah, but that's I actually.

Speaker 3 (43:07):
Agree more with front or back because in certain worlds,
like the back person could be the smaller. It could
be a smaller person spooning.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
It doesn't I'm the smallest big spoon you will ever meet.

Speaker 3 (43:17):
Right, but you can play that role.

Speaker 5 (43:19):
But god, a little I don't.

Speaker 2 (43:21):
Like being a little spoon because I I mean, misterphobic
not surprising, and I don't think he necessarily likes it, but.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
Pill for his poison. I wasn't throwing you under the bus.
I was trying to like it was going or I
try to pivot out of that. Yeah, we were.

Speaker 3 (43:33):
We got through that together.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
I know.

Speaker 3 (43:35):
That's all I'd say about that, because there's another It's
like another fleshy like seventeen or eighteen minutes like.

Speaker 5 (43:41):
This guy over here. I don't know about that question.

Speaker 2 (43:44):
My god, I.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
Didn't do that. I didn't do that.

Speaker 3 (43:47):
It was It was a tough one though, but it's
like a twenty five minute conversation. I remember being in
my car after that, like you're just like trying to
figure out what just happened.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
What it was like a bomb it dropped. I do
there is a part of me that always has thought
we got to bring him back. I think so now
I just called him a humorous boop that that could
be an issue. But if it gets back to him,
but he was and maybe if he's on the show
again with Greg most importantly vitally, yeah he'll be back
in you know, better speaking opportunity for him, more playful.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
Yeah, you'll have to ask him again.

Speaker 1 (44:20):
Yes, that is a great call. Let's say it goes great,
and he's like flying with us. And then one last question.

Speaker 5 (44:31):
Like we didn't really get the answer last time, but
we've been wondering the last couple of years.

Speaker 2 (44:36):
If you changed your mind, you do answer those questions now.

Speaker 1 (44:39):
T Greg all right.

Speaker 5 (44:40):
My word is a truculent, Uh, defined as eager or
quick to argue aggressively defiant.

Speaker 2 (44:48):
Have you been called this?

Speaker 5 (44:50):
No, but I think that could be accurate in some cases.
The sentence describe you know, they use an example sentence
It was his days of truculent defiance were over. But
let me tell you mine are just starting. It's truculent offseason. Uh,
let's let's hear some things this offseason maybe that will
inspire truculence or just to kind of like get familiar

(45:12):
with the words. Roman Roy right now. Love that guy.
I don't care what he does. Truculent as hell. I mean,
he's he's there's.

Speaker 1 (45:19):
Something there by the way. I think maybe you see yourself.

Speaker 3 (45:21):
I think Craig sees himself.

Speaker 5 (45:23):
I hope there's not too much, but I just think
he's because he's.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
Like a monster on the show's.

Speaker 5 (45:31):
A funny is a funny monster. I've I've always been
a Kieran Culkin fan. Going back to Igby goes Down,
I think he's just a great actor, but he cracks
me up. I think he nails that whole thing.

Speaker 1 (45:39):
He's an enemy of democracy.

Speaker 5 (45:41):
Well now yeah, with the political stuff, it's been less
funny that he's trying to ruin the country.

Speaker 1 (45:46):
No spoilers though, No spoiler.

Speaker 3 (45:50):
All right.

Speaker 5 (45:50):
Anytime like any reporter or analyst or someone on Twitter
tries to draw any meaning whatsoever from oates in mini
camps that go beyond injuries, uh, that will make me truculent.
Like it doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 (46:06):
I saw some of that with your boys, Anthony Richardson recently.
The spirals are unbelievable from this kid. Can't relax.

Speaker 5 (46:14):
Just I think the Rams are gonna get truculent when
anyone says rebuild, this is on my radar. They're gonna
be very sensitive. But if they're not rebuilding, when you cover.

Speaker 3 (46:24):
Like eight teams in one with one letter, yes, you're
just scattering me. You know I'm being scattered left and right.

Speaker 5 (46:29):
But they're just one sentences.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
I'm just I'm gonna revisit one of these teams. I feel.

Speaker 5 (46:34):
I think the important thing is people leave this show
understanding what truculent means. After my her suit uh disaster
the other day, it is getting hairy.

Speaker 1 (46:45):
Right now? Do you step on one more Sessler topic
I have, Like we'll get.

Speaker 5 (46:47):
I have four more Bears fans. We could double up
a little. It's like Bears fans anyone time anyone points
out how little ebra flues added to the defense, or
like even there's like a.

Speaker 3 (46:57):
Little of caution, don't get checking point that out earlier.

Speaker 5 (47:01):
Yeah, that I think Bears fans that that's they'll get truculent. Uh,
Deshaun Watson or anyone associated with the Browns will get
truculent if anyone dares mention the reason he missed the
season and a half and like, uh, he didn't go
to jail man. It's America, Like they get very truculate.
Spit a blanket on the entire fan they like, I
can't mention it. Sean Payton if anyone mentions he was

(47:23):
the Broncos fourth choice to be head coach, Oh, it's
gonna go. And then Bill Belichick not truculent at all.
This is Bill Belichick season. He's so happy in the offseason.
I think he loves this. You tell oh, actually his
he's like wearing the shorts. He's spinning the whistle.

Speaker 1 (47:39):
Was everyone a negative spinning except for the Patriots. One
is that he's.

Speaker 5 (47:44):
Spinning the whistle in the press conference. He's that he's
like he still loves football. I don't think he loves
like losing and the stressless season, but this is his time.
He's just like teaching. He's a cot like he's a teacher,
and he's just like in a great mood.

Speaker 1 (47:58):
Now, I bet a lot of coaches are like that.
Press is where the pressure isn't on them at all,
and they just have the ability to do what they
love without peering eyes and all that they swing that
big old whistle.

Speaker 5 (48:10):
I hope I didn't make you panic pivot.

Speaker 3 (48:12):
And no I'm not. I'm like, I know where I'm going.

Speaker 1 (48:15):
Let's take a break and finish this out. All right,
we're back mark you.

Speaker 3 (48:20):
I want to mention one of the teams that the
Gregg reference, so I'll say you is for underrated. I'm
asking a question. I'm not okay, is it possible where
sort of blanket level underrating the Rams? I just wonder
because when I read like what Jordan Rodrigue describes what
the team is doing like there is an incredible youth

(48:42):
movement occurring, so and Sean McVay decided to stick around
through this, Like, I wonder if it's a gateway to
see that we're maybe underrating the powers of Sean McVay
in general, like to coach up like a super young
roster that still has a star quarterback, arguably the best
wide out and the finest defensive player in football. Little
top heavy, but there are pieces or like to your

(49:06):
rebuild truculency. Do they get to a point in the
season and be like or even the offseason, say actually,
this doesn't all fit together the way that we thought,
and Matthew Stafford and others are out the door by Halloween.
If a team needs a quarterback or someone else and
that does become a full rebuild, I just wonder how
they view themselves because they seem to be more confident

(49:28):
in who they are and what they are, then I
feel about them looking at the roster.

Speaker 1 (49:33):
If I'm Sean McVay and I guess less need I'm
loving this setup right now because no one, like you're saying,
thinks they're worth of damn right now, everyone thinks the
bill came due and they were terrible last year and
they're just gonna not be competitive this year either. And
I think that's a little yeah, that's a blanket statement

(49:54):
just to assume a lot went wrong for them last year.
I mean a lot. And it's even under the best circumstances.
Returning after winning a Super Bowl is a very hard
task for teams. So now you get past that hangover thing,
you get all the terrible injuries, you got a fresh
start there. And I think what they're trying to do,
Connie a little bit is thread the needle. I think
they know they're not a powerhouse, maybe internally, but I

(50:17):
think they look at it and they say, you know what,
with this core, with these superstars we still have in
the building, there's a path that ten wins here and
being a relevant team and playing in the postseason, and
then who knows what happens. And sure it's not crazy
to me.

Speaker 6 (50:30):
I guess at this point they're a team that could
be looked at as playing with house money if they
do exceed expectations, because the expectations are so low. But
even just pulling up the death chart and looking at
who's there the defense, especially, Like, yes, they have Aaron Donald,
but it's a lot of names that really are not

(50:53):
big names at all. And you have Jaylen Ramsey gone
now too with this secondary I mean their corners or
Robert Rochelle and Darien Kendrick. Like, there's a lot of
names that aren't household names. And sure Cooper cup could
come back from this injury and be great with Matthew Stafford,

(51:14):
but I'm just I'm not really buying it.

Speaker 2 (51:17):
I don't know if they can do it.

Speaker 1 (51:18):
To the point of what you were saying, though, Mark right,
is that this has to be for that building. They're like,
we like some of these young guys. We're excited about
coaching them up. And people don't think we're gonna be
able to turn these guys into players, but I think
they probably do.

Speaker 3 (51:31):
Yeah, they signed a ton of undrafted guys too. I
just think it's more it's not that this is this
eleven win season in hiding. I think it's just that
maybe they feel like the plan is not just this
is a throwaway year. We're not the Arizona Cardinals. There's
maybe a lot more going on here. In like a
weekend NFC, and I just want to I think it's
kind of like we've seen Sean McVay coach a star
studded team and we saw the result, but like this

(51:53):
is a different version of them. For some reason, this
Rams journey is more interesting to me than the sort
of like prepackaged Super Bowl team that was foisted upon
us by the entire NFL.

Speaker 6 (52:02):
You know, I could see them almost as like a
Lions of last year because we saw we watched hard Knocks,
and you know, of course our expectations are always high
after hard Knocks, but there was a lot of names
that we didn't know how they could play, or what
they would be like in the NFL, and how they
would play together. And then they came together and exceeded expectations.
So maybe that's what the Rams do, right.

Speaker 5 (52:22):
And I don't think they were happy with their coaching
staff last year. They bring in Mike Lafleur, They're asking
a lot of Raheem Morris. The problem is I think
they're over under six and a half, one of the
lowest in the league. I think they think they can
beat that. I think they think their recipe is we
can be a legit good offense like a top seven
or eight offense with these veterans and the defense like
Raheem Morris, like, we are asking a lot out of you.

Speaker 3 (52:43):
Man.

Speaker 5 (52:43):
We know we're not giving you much talent, but can
you just make them respectable enough for this offense which
has a lot of veterans. I mean, we say they're
a young team, but like Stafford, Higbee, Akers Havevenstein, Noteboom Cup, Jefferson,
those are all Super Bowl starters essentially.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
So you said six and a half, six and a half,
I'm banging the over.

Speaker 3 (53:03):
I would too. It's just not a very good conference. Bang,
I think it's right.

Speaker 1 (53:07):
That's not true too.

Speaker 5 (53:08):
I don't know. I think six and a half feels
about right.

Speaker 1 (53:11):
Like bang the under the seven you're saying that's it,
they're ex seven and eleven lost team. Okay, I'm sure.
I'm sure is saying, yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 5 (53:20):
Good point. They won five in a total bottom out situation.
They still it's a good point.

Speaker 1 (53:24):
Up next is Colleen. But the always difficult letter v he.

Speaker 2 (53:30):
Is for votes and vetos.

Speaker 6 (53:32):
We have the letter by coming up next week in Minnesota,
and one of the things they will be voting on
is whether or not Amazon those TNF games late in
the season can be flexed from Sundays to Thursdays, which
I think is super interesting. Goodell was pushing this in
Phoenix a couple months ago. They had twenty two votes.

(53:54):
They need twenty four votes, so they just needed to
get two more for this to go through. And I mean,
it turns out when you're paying one point two billion
dollars you can get better matchups.

Speaker 1 (54:05):
Yeah, one point five billion, you could do it too.

Speaker 2 (54:09):
You lose me on the math and the decimal points,
so yeah.

Speaker 6 (54:12):
I mean, I think that it's tough to move any
games in and out of Thursday because it's so early
in the week. But they'd be able to do this
with a fifteen day advanced notice, so teams would know
ahead of time whether or not they'd have a short
week or maybe they're getting out of a short week.

Speaker 1 (54:31):
Truth.

Speaker 3 (54:32):
I like any flexibility that allows us to not get
stuck with like a stink bomb on Thursday night late
in the year. I think the teams and the players
have to feel very differently about it. I think in
a way, we get to a point where they're just
being moved around the board for our pleasure, and like
from a health standpoint and a planning standpoint. They're the
they take, they take the yel.

Speaker 5 (54:51):
I feel like we we've come a long way in
terms of like comfort, as in like a Western society.
I can live with like a finger of a Thursday
night game here and there, Like I think we can
accept that. Maybe Amazon can't hence the billions. But if
you give me like three total stinkers on a Thursday
and it just don't watch it if you don't want to.

Speaker 6 (55:12):
Broncos Colts last year in overtime and.

Speaker 5 (55:17):
Was early, That's what I mean. You can't prevent that.
That was that looked like a good matchup.

Speaker 1 (55:21):
As al Michael said, scheduled a little leaky last year. Well,
bet leaky.

Speaker 5 (55:25):
But that part of it was because Russell Wilson was
so heavily involved in so many primetime games.

Speaker 1 (55:32):
A little bit leaky. Who's up? I'm up? Time for
a poised to pivot? Oh do w all right?

Speaker 3 (55:41):
We went down the Amazon path to Uh that's true.

Speaker 1 (55:45):
No, I'm not.

Speaker 3 (55:45):
I'm asking if you that what caused you to have
to pivot?

Speaker 1 (55:48):
Oh way back? Devanta Adams, Okay, that's why it's so poised.
I've had time I love it. Uh. The Washington football team,
formerly known as the Redskins, now the Commanders. And there
is a thought now that Josh Harris and his gaggle
of buddies have you know, rolled in or about to

(56:10):
roll in. Why do we have to stick with commanders?
What's the point? Like that was just like we talked
about who was the private pile? What was the pig?
They rolled out private pork commander what commander Carnitas? What
was it?

Speaker 3 (56:26):
It was the absurd they got on field care.

Speaker 1 (56:30):
They rolled out the mascot at halftime of their final
home game months.

Speaker 4 (56:35):
Before the Commander Tuddy Major Tuddy, Major Major Tuddy.

Speaker 3 (56:42):
I've just looked that up.

Speaker 1 (56:43):
Yeah, I can't say Commander Carneath.

Speaker 5 (56:46):
You can't just change the name again?

Speaker 1 (56:48):
Why not?

Speaker 3 (56:49):
I think there's I think there's provisions that prevent that,
but I why not?

Speaker 5 (56:53):
But I guess you're right. I take that back. I
don't like Commanders.

Speaker 2 (56:56):
Why not just go back to Washington football team?

Speaker 5 (56:58):
I like that all we didn't.

Speaker 1 (57:01):
He it's kind of a take that. It's kind of
like everybody agrees that's not good either. Washington football team.

Speaker 5 (57:07):
Why not? It's different. It's like other sports. So it's somehow.

Speaker 1 (57:11):
Yeah is it what because it's like the it's like
soccer football.

Speaker 5 (57:15):
Yeah, that it was interesting. This is one another football
I know, but that's just it's just for one team.
So that's kind of Commanders just doesn't feel right to me.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
I'm not yeah, I just think maybe that's a little cute,
but it's this is a Washington.

Speaker 5 (57:28):
This is Washington. I hear you.

Speaker 2 (57:30):
But where names that you want?

Speaker 5 (57:32):
Like Joe, thisman had a pretty good point. Let me
there's a Commanders in Washington. There are many commanders in Washington. Okay,
And Joe was right. And now I want to say
my take here is not that the commanders should change
their name. I I I'm saying, why wouldn't Josh Harris
have the ability to It's his team.

Speaker 1 (57:51):
He's spent not just six billion, an additional fifty million
on top of the six billion. Joeth, thisman who once
told us about you know what so many throughout Washington,
scattered across d C. He says, chill, Chill.

Speaker 7 (58:08):
I wouldn't be a fan of rebranding because we've had
you know, we've had three different names in four or
five years, and to go through it again now that's
one side of it. I think just to change for
change's sake doesn't make sense. It never has for me.
But you know what would be the reason to change.
If you think of the San Francisco forty nine ers,
the forty nine ers, they speak to the history of

(58:31):
San Francisco of what they did in gold rush time.
When you think of the Washington, DC area, it's the
seat of command of all military.

Speaker 1 (58:44):
He's right. He was right then when he leaked the name,
which he wasn't supposed to do, and he did, by
the way, that was Grant and Danny on one O
six to seven the fan and he's right now.

Speaker 5 (58:54):
The seat of command. Maybe we should call them the seats.

Speaker 2 (58:57):
The seat of command is truly wonderful.

Speaker 5 (59:01):
Joeagon Is Joe still going to be like the kind
of figurehead with the new ownership because he sort of
had like an unofficial statesman role which I believe was
paid by the old ownership.

Speaker 1 (59:14):
Are there any I know Englewood High just walked in.
Any anybody that's big Rams fan? Back? There?

Speaker 5 (59:20):
There many Rams like hand a couple of hands like
they're not actually listening to the show. The audio The
audio might not be available there.

Speaker 1 (59:31):
Are a couple, Eric, there are a couple. Do we
want to ask one of the students their thoughts on
the RAMS in twenty twenty three?

Speaker 5 (59:38):
I mean, that's putting them on the spot, but sure,
I'm down.

Speaker 1 (59:40):
Eric, you mind handing over the headset? Yeah? Yeah, let's
talk to the youth. Let's get connected.

Speaker 2 (59:45):
Yeah, does anyone want to talk about the RAMS?

Speaker 1 (59:47):
This is this is what it's about. No sales or deciding.
There are roughly forty four students behind the glass right now.
They're deciding who will speak on behalf of the youth
of southern California. All right, here we go, Here we go.
Here we got someone stepped up? All right, who are
we talking to?

Speaker 3 (01:00:06):
Hello? My name is Isaac Ramirez.

Speaker 1 (01:00:08):
Isaac Ramirez, buddy, you from Englewood. Yeah, all right, and
you are.

Speaker 4 (01:00:13):
Class of twenty twenty three.

Speaker 1 (01:00:16):
All right, the best class.

Speaker 8 (01:00:17):
Sorry to say, I'm just going to say that right now.

Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
I love it, I love it. Welcome to around the NFL.
Were you aware that this podcast existed before you came
into the not at all. Okay, that's something we need
to work on. We need to connect that, we need
to connect. All right, I'm sorry you're name again, Isaac Ramirez?
A right, Isaac, you as you know, the Rams called

(01:00:40):
Englewood home for several years. Now, what are your thoughts
on the Rams entering a new season. Excited? You're in? Yeah,
you're in, all in because a lot of people are
saying the Rams not so hot anymore. They won the
Super Bowl, they were bad last year, and now they
should be overlooked as an Englewood of your saying people

(01:01:01):
got to respect the home.

Speaker 8 (01:01:02):
Team exactly exactly what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (01:01:05):
What has it been like for you? You know, as
a high school student, so you were here essentially when
they moved into the area. When so far moved into
the area, have you seen like Rams fandom pick up?
Are you emotionally ty like? What has that been like
for you?

Speaker 1 (01:01:19):
Well?

Speaker 8 (01:01:20):
For me, since my last names are mirrors, you know,
I gotta got to represent gotchah, so technically they're my team.

Speaker 5 (01:01:26):
Just saying just sing okay, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:01:28):
Okay, Mark, is there anything you want to share? A
class of twenty three, your class of ninety one, ninety two,
I've been ninety two, thousand years ago, kind of looking
as we spin.

Speaker 8 (01:01:40):
Forward, Oh my god, that was so long ago.

Speaker 1 (01:01:43):
Do you have anything you want to share with the
youth of America.

Speaker 3 (01:01:45):
I have no wisdom to offer young people on any level.

Speaker 5 (01:01:48):
Okay, what about Texas?

Speaker 4 (01:01:50):
What about Texas?

Speaker 3 (01:01:51):
I think you're probably going to do a better job
of it than I did over the course of time.
So I wish you well.

Speaker 2 (01:01:56):
What do you want to do?

Speaker 8 (01:01:57):
Actually, I'm going to the navy.

Speaker 5 (01:01:59):
WHOA, he doesn't know that song either?

Speaker 1 (01:02:04):
I do.

Speaker 8 (01:02:05):
Actually I'm not I'm not that young.

Speaker 1 (01:02:07):
Finally, finally, last question. You don't know us? What can
we do to kind of get into the neighborhood and
let people know that this podcast exists on any level?

Speaker 8 (01:02:19):
Well, to be fair, I don't really know anything that
you guys talk about, like to that extent.

Speaker 5 (01:02:23):
Okay, football, yeah, yeah, football, but.

Speaker 1 (01:02:26):
Like football, like pigskin, things like that kin. That's fun.

Speaker 5 (01:02:31):
And you ever heard the word truck truculent before truck
you lent your suit. It means eager or quick to
argue or fight so that you can you can impress
your navy fence for.

Speaker 2 (01:02:41):
The more, you know, I learned that today to everybody, everybody.

Speaker 1 (01:02:45):
Behind the glass, classmates, give up for isis good luck
with everything?

Speaker 5 (01:02:52):
Thank you?

Speaker 1 (01:02:53):
See I feel like we've connected with the youth. Now
whether that makes a difference in the metrics word of mouth,
you never.

Speaker 6 (01:02:59):
Know what the reason you're connecting with the youth for
the metrics stand correct.

Speaker 5 (01:03:03):
Well, I did notice a lot of his friends were
recording that too on their phone, so we could get
some major's.

Speaker 1 (01:03:08):
Little bump new audience. All right, anything else? Are we done?

Speaker 2 (01:03:14):
No?

Speaker 5 (01:03:15):
No, I do have to go save my sick. Uh,
my sick.

Speaker 1 (01:03:19):
All right, let's roll through it here.

Speaker 5 (01:03:21):
All right, I think I'm up.

Speaker 2 (01:03:22):
We'll do it quick. Yeah, Greg's up with X.

Speaker 1 (01:03:24):
I commanders change your name if you want, but I
think follow Joe Eisman whatever he says, all right, go ahead,
X all right.

Speaker 5 (01:03:32):
My my word is uh, seister. I'm not sure how
to pronounce.

Speaker 2 (01:03:37):
Care what you're doing this again?

Speaker 5 (01:03:40):
I don't know. I asked Eric during the show if
he could play a pronunciation guide of this word. It's
x Y s t R. I saw this word and
I was like, what a word. Let's let's try to
hear the pronunciation. Oh, okay, sister, let's hear that again.

Speaker 3 (01:03:54):
I'm not sure I trust what is it? So?

Speaker 5 (01:03:58):
The sister is a sir instrument for scraping bones. And
that's I feel like the Vikings have been using a
zister to their defense this offseason, just picking it clean.
Their top four cornerbacks are gone. Their top four cornerbacks
last year. Patrick Peterson was one of them. Who else,
Duke Shelley, Cameron Danceler, I don't know who was the fourth.

(01:04:22):
Who cares. They weren't very good, Peterson was, Okay, it's
all a bunch of new players. You get rid of
Eric Kendricks at linebacker as well, you get rid of
Zidarius Smith. And on one hand, I'm like, what is
up with this defense? And then on the other, oh,
you brought in Brian Flores. That's a big upgrade. You
actually can't get much worse than you were last year.

(01:04:42):
So worst case scenario, maybe you're the same. You're asking
Brian Flores to do a lot. You need young players,
like their picks last year at the top of the
draft who really got no playing time, who was Scene
Their first round pick got hurt right away, Lewis Scene,
and then Andrew Boots Junior the second round pick. So
they have some young players. They have Denel Hunter still,

(01:05:04):
if they can just improve to a little bit maybe
that offense is enough to carry them and they're not
a total disaster this year. Eight and a half is
there over under right now? That feels fair. But defensively
they took the zisters.

Speaker 1 (01:05:16):
Is that kind of remarkable? And we all know thirteen
and four was weird last year, but to get banged
all the way down to eight and a half, Yeah,
I think that's my only pushback to We're hearing that
a lot like, oh, Brian Flores is there now, they're
gonna be much much better. Yeah, but you gotta have
players to coach up. And maybe it's the same thing.
And like I was saying with La they like a
lot of these years, they're.

Speaker 5 (01:05:36):
A one sided team. I think they're hoping they're defense
bad their defense, They're hoping their offense can be a
top ten offense, and then the old line's pretty good
and they have weapons. I think Addison could be a
big upgrade from where Adam Thielen was a year ago,
so the offense could be good.

Speaker 3 (01:05:48):
I wonder what they what they told Brian Flores. Because
of any team in the league this offseason, it was
the Vikings that have had to make like really severe
moves to they couldn't even pay the rookie class. I
have to get rid of zid areas, right, That's exactly
why that happens. So, I mean, if anything, you have
to give Brian Floores like a total mulligan. They were
awful to begin with. You've taken parts away and you're

(01:06:12):
essentially putting them into a completely new scheme. We're probably
if you're Brian flour saying, a lot of these players
don't necessarily fit what I would handpick to start with.
So it's gonna be a long year. But to Greg
to your point, like, they were literally the worst defense
in the league last year, So if they're the second worst,
he's done an incredible job metrics wise.

Speaker 1 (01:06:30):
A lot of pressure, a lot of pressure on the offense.
The offense has to be great and then the defense.
If the defense goes from like the thirtieth best defense
to the twentieth best this year, is that enough to
get back to the playoffs? Maybe?

Speaker 5 (01:06:42):
What's that pronunciation again? All right, let's move on. A
surgical instrument for scraping bones.

Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
Oh surgical?

Speaker 6 (01:06:51):
I was gonna ask you, is that like a Butcher
Show surgical instrument?

Speaker 1 (01:06:56):
Like an undertaker? More choy all right anyway, Mark, why
all right?

Speaker 3 (01:07:02):
I am panic pivoting, uh and this time I have
no backup plan. But I do have a question that
I had a little bit of something there. But I'm
happy to ask this question. Why is for for you?
For yolo? I guess a term that I think I
banned in the past.

Speaker 1 (01:07:23):
Each of you sweat is building.

Speaker 3 (01:07:25):
Give me something this off season that you're going to
do to change your life before all hell breaks loose
in August. Something that you vow to do that will
improve your life between throwing it back to us.

Speaker 3 (01:10:15):
Gonzo's response to that, I'd be on the top.
