The chaos of NFL free agency takes center stage as Graham and Scott dive deep into the frenzy of player movement, quarterback carousel, and surprising team decisions shaking up the league.
The tampering period officially started Monday at noon, but deals were already breaking Sunday evening – a procedural oddity the hosts can't help but question. DK Metcalf's trade to Pittsburgh for a second-round pick (plus a swap of sixth-rounders) and subsequent five-year, $150 million contract stands out as one of the most significant moves, leaving Seattle in rebuild mode after also parting ways with Tyler Lockett and Geno Smith.
Quarterback movement dominates the conversation as Justin Fields heads to the Jets after his challenging Chicago tenure, Sam Darnold joins a rebuilding Seahawks team, and Aaron Rodgers potentially follows Brett Favre's career path with rumors connecting him to Minnesota. The guys debate whether Fields will find success reuniting with former college teammate Garrett Wilson, questioning if he can win more than the single game the Jets managed last season.
The San Francisco 49ers make waves by cutting key players after going "all-in" on recent Super Bowl runs, while the Chargers' puzzling inactivity despite substantial cap space leaves Scott both frustrated and intrigued about potential moves to come. "Something big is getting ready to happen," he speculates, noting the pattern of overpayment by other teams.
Beyond football, the hosts share their genuine disappointment about Tiger Woods' latest injury setback, reflecting on what it means for his golf future and the excitement his presence brings to tournaments regardless of performance. The episode closes with exciting announcements about their upcoming March Madness bracket challenge and preview of Scott's Players Championship golf picks.
Whether you're a football fanatic tracking every free agency move or a sports generalist looking for informed, entertaining commentary, this episode delivers captivating insights from two passionate hosts who aren't afraid to call it like they see it.

did it 50 players.
Scott (02:48):
Oh no, they all throw cash in it.

Gs.

We normally talk about ourweekends.
Starting off the episode, it'snot my weekend, it's actually
your weekend.
So, g, what did you do today onyour quote-unquote Saturday Gee

Graham (03:24):
what'd you do today on your quote-unquote Saturday?
Well, I crossed a restaurantoff the list.
There is a burger place outhere, a new spot that opened up
about almost a year ago called Ithink it's called Love you
(03:45):
Always.
It's a burger place.
The only thing on their menuare three burgers and they're
all.
Mostly it's a Smashburger place, but it's been blowing up all
over YouTube and Instagram forbeing the thing around here and
I've seen it and I noticed thatit wasn't too far away from
where I live and I was like youknow what, what sounds good?
(04:06):
Today, mom's like you want togo to lunch and I was like you
know what?
I want to try these SmashBurgers.
Everyone keeps blowing it upand she's like all right, let's

So we went and did that and,bro, they weren't lying Gas
(04:28):
straight fire.
Dude smash burgers they're thedeal, bro.
I mean, like, is that the firstone you've ever had?
No, I've had one, like a whileago, but it's been a while.
But this place is like theyliterally only have.
Their whole menu is threeburgers, more or less the same
type, in a sense.
They have fries and they have,uh, three different types of ice
cream.
That's it, that's all they haveso.
(04:49):
But hey, it's like in and outand back in the day.
If you only if you know whatyou're good at and you only make
a few things there you go andlet me tell you folks dude,
we've got another brawl in thisgame.
Scott (05:03):
This is awesome, Um, but you said like in and out, if you
know what you're good at, um.
My question is this what is?
Graham (05:15):
in and out.
Good at Consistency, qualityfood that's consistent, so not
the burgers.
Scott (05:23):
Just being consistent is what in and out is best at
Quality, not the burgers.
Graham (05:25):
Just being consistent is what In-N-Out's best at Quality
products made consistently thesame way.
Scott (05:33):
I'm going to give a shout out.
Graham (05:34):
Why are you hating on In-N-Out?
Scott (05:36):
Hold on.
I'm going to give a shout outreal quick to TP.
Okay, back in the day when TPwas one of my assistants, we
went he was a vegetarian and wewent and played in the pro
assistant in Palm Springs andthey had an in and out truck,
right, and TP was always talkingand praising about the grilled
(06:00):
cheese at in and out.
And I'm like you know what?
I'm going to try it.
You know I don't want to eatthis big, greasy, overrated
burger before I go play golf.
I'm going to try it out.
It's better than the goddamnburger.
Oh, I mean In-N-Out it's good.
I mean, I ain't hating on it,but you know, I'd rather go to
(06:25):
five guys.
Graham (06:27):
Oh, and spend $20 on a burger and bro, what ain't $20
anymore?
Scott (06:34):
Facts I'm just.
I mean, I went to waffle housethe other day and I got the
goddamn breakfast combo and eggsare so damn expensive.
You had to pay two extradollars because you got two eggs
.
Announcer (06:43):
I know I expensive.
Scott (06:46):
you had to pay two extra dollars because you got two eggs
.
I know, I know, but I meananyhow we got a little off topic
, but whatever that's why we areus.
Oh, facts I mean.
But anyhow, before we get intothe episode, I'm just gonna let
the world know.
Your boy started off nfl freeagency excited and then was kind
(07:12):
of bummed because my chargershad a shit ton of money and
weren't doing anything.
And I'm watching, I'm like, uh,you know, like that old meme
with the dude with the stickpoking, some do something.
Oh we signed our punter Yay.
You know I'm like, oh, whatever.
You know who I mean the one guyyou don't want on the field,
(07:38):
you know.
But you know, literally rightbefore we got on air I got a
little bit of good news and ablast from the past.
Mike dub back with the chargers.
One year deal, 6 million.
Can't hate on it If you canstay healthy.
Great 50, 50 guy back with thequarterback he played with for a
(08:02):
while.
You know I was excited.
I just literally told TPp I'mlike dude, I wasn't excited
about doing this episode becausemy squad that has all this cash
ain't doing shit.
But I will say this before weget into anything.
I said rob, I said I've said itto you, I said it to tp
something's big is getting readyto happen in my mind.
(08:24):
That's why the chargers haven'toverpaid.
There's been so much overpayinghappening since free agency
started.
Okay, I think we're going to dosomething.
I don't know what it is.
Something's coming, or yeah,who's left Trades?
Graham (08:44):
Who's left?
You can make.
Scott (08:45):
Who's left?
Graham (08:45):
to make a splash.
Scott (08:46):
Trades and signs.
Higgins they're still danglingHiggins out there, Okay.
Graham (08:53):
Yeah, but you don't want to pay him that ticket.
Scott (08:56):
Dude rumors out there saying the Bengals could trade
Jamar.
There is, he wants 40.
He wants 40 a year.
If you're the Bengals, you keepHiggins, you keep Hendrickson.
You can't keep both widereceivers.
Graham (09:10):
It's one or the other.
Scott (09:11):
That's what I'm saying.
You keep Higgins and you keepHendrickson and you trade Jamar
and you load up in draft picks.
Graham (09:29):
There's not a world I live in that I could possibly
see that, but there's NFL mediawith blue check marks by their
name on Twitter talking about it.
I'm going to be honest Wow, Ihaven't heard that yet, but I'll
say this To think what the Ican't.
This is so ridiculous to eventhink about as a Bengals fan.
Scott (09:54):
There is no way you can support your team if you trade
Jamar Chase.
I don't disagree with you.
Graham (09:57):
Considering the fact that you took him in the first
round over Penesol Penesol.
Scott (10:04):
I do not disagree with you, but remember the rumors
last year.
Graham (10:07):
When you needed O-line help.
Scott (10:08):
Remember the rumors last year about the Vikings and
Jefferson.
Same thing.
Graham (10:14):
There's no way Like besides the talent level between
Higgins and Jamar Chase.
It's night and day.
It's like Batman and Robin andthe difference of 10 million.
Scott (10:27):
Yeah, it's Batman and Robin.
You know, that's what I'msaying, like the difference of
10 million.
Yeah, it's Batman and Robin.
Graham (10:29):
You know, that's what I'm saying.
Like, get rid of Higgins,buh-bye what?
Get rid of Higgins?
Re-sign Hendrickson.
Scott (10:39):
Higgins is a talent.
Yeah, but you know he's alwaysbeen the number two.
Graham (10:45):
Like.
Scott (10:46):
I know.
What I, the number two, like, Iknow what I, I don't know Just
had to throw it out there.
But anyhow, before we even getstarted in all the signings and
all this and that andspeculations of what's going to
happen, can I just say one thingTampering period was supposed
(11:08):
to start Monday, a couple ofdays ago at noon and all of a
sudden we get the news oh,Devontae Adams signs with the
Rams.
I'm sorry, how are theynegotiating when tampering
starts Monday at noon and heagrees to a deal Sunday at 6
(11:29):
o'clock Eastern time?
That's like saying, oh, youknow, your tee time is at 8
o'clock tomorrow, but yeah, youcan go play at 7.
Graham (11:41):
It's like I've said before what's the point of
leaving the tampering period?
It doesn't make sense.
Just start the free agency onMonday.
Call it a day Like what.
You need time to talk tomultiple people before you
decide who you want.
Scott (11:55):
What were the days before that exactly?
It makes no sense.
I don't get it at all, whatever.
But something that did makesome sense on sunday night and
got you all fired up was DKbeing traded to your Steelers
for a second round, pick rightSecond, and then like a flop of
six.
Graham (12:14):
We swapped fists.
Yeah, swapped six picks.
Scott (12:17):
And then you signed him five years, 150?
.
Yeah, something like that,right, yeah, hey, solid Dude,
seattle, jeez Louise, you getrid of Gino.
You get rid of Tyler Lockett.
Now Geno's gone.
I mean, smith and Jig wasnumber one.
Who's their quarterback?
(12:39):
Hold my beer, sam Howell.
Graham (12:44):
At the time, until the new signing.
Scott (12:48):
But then bada, bing, bada , boom Monday, the number one
free agent quarterback.
Yeah, let's go.
I'm a Seahawk, sam Darnold,let's go.
Do you like him going there?
It's something we haven't eventalked about.
Do you like him going there?
Graham (13:11):
Yes, for a couple of reasons.
One, where was he going to gothat you can say to yourself
does he fit the system Right?
Number one because, obviously,what he did prior to being in
minnesota, it was all about thesystem and the players around
(13:34):
him, right.
So, being in the right system,being with that coach,
everything was good.
Um, and the thing also is, itwas one year that he proved his
worth.
So, as an organization, how doyou say to yourself do I really
want to spend 30 to $40 millionon this guy that just had one
(13:54):
really good year on a team thathad the great pieces around him?
So if the teams that reallyneeded a quarterback, they don't
have those pieces.
So if you don't have thosepieces, why would you want to
risk spending that money onsomeone that had the?
I mean, I'm not calling him aone-hit wonder, no, I agree.
I mean he's still young and allthat stuff, but it's just like
(14:14):
I would want him to go to aplace where he would feel
comfortable in their system andhe wouldn't have to basically
put the franchise on his back,because everyone knows Seattle,
they're in rebuild, like, let'sbe honest.
So, with that being said, theyneed someone to steady the ship
play.
Well, help them win some games.
(14:36):
Like, let's be real, if theywin, is there?
Is there over under six and ahalf?
Seven and a half, not sure?
no, I mean I don't think it'sout yet, but I'm just saying,
based off the players that havedepartured from there, you would
have to say they're over-unders, like six and a half.
You would think so Right now.
So, that being said, they needsomeone that's competent to come
(14:59):
in there and they still neededsomeone because, granted, they
still have Howell there, but youneed someone else there as well
, so they need some.
Basically, they need someone tosell it to the fans Is really
what it comes down to.
Scott (15:13):
I personally thought the best place for him to go would
be to your team.
Yeah, I just you know, he'sstill young.
I, I, just, I, I thought, butyou guys weren't gonna pay that
(15:38):
and that's the thing we weren'tgonna pay that.
Graham (15:40):
It's like we have some money to spend, but uh hello, we
just gave a boatload of it todk.
Uh, hello, we're gonna bepaying t Watt another
record-breaking contract.
Scott (15:52):
This is his last year, right Last year, yeah, yeah.
Graham (15:56):
So they're going to re-sign him and you know how
much that's going to cost us.
Yeah, exactly so it's just.
I mean, that's going to beclose to 40 a year and, trust me
, if there's anyone thatdeserves it, obviously, yeah, he
does Him.
So we've picked up a coupleother pieces.
I just didn't want to get themand by him I mean Darnold
because I didn't want to spendthat price tag.
(16:17):
That's really what it was.
It was more for rostermanagement in my reasoning,
because if we're going to spendthat type of money, then we
can't pick up the other.
Like, could we have paid DK ifwe got Darnold?
Probably not, you know.
Scott (16:33):
Stop, stop.
Yes, you could have.
Did you see what the Chiefs didtoday?
Did you see what the Chiefs didtoday in their salary cap hell?
They just restructured Kermitand Chris Jones to free up $49
million.
Graham (16:46):
Yeah, but the problem is , the biggest people that we owe
money to or that are incontract with us are people that
we need to resign, like TJ atthe end of his deal.
The biggest contract thatPittsburgh has, I think, is Mika
Fitzpatrick Wow, right now.
And then obviously DK.
Right now and then obviously DK, because all the other guys
(17:10):
kind of restructured, but TJWatt's deal, but he's on the
last year of it, so he can'treally restructure.
That's why they're giving him anew deal anyway.
So it's just like he canrestructure and extend, which is
what he's doing.
He's going to retire as astealer.
Scott (17:25):
So my question is this what are y'all going to pay
Aaron Rodgers?
Graham (17:32):
retire as dealer.
But so my question is this whatare y'all gonna pay aaron
rogers, 25, I would say he wantsto play two years, so we'll
call it a two-year deal for 50million dollars for two years.
What did donald?
he's not worth.
Like, what was his deal for thejets?
I don't remember, I don't evenremember.
Yeah, well, it is what it'slike.
I i't think, I can't.
And look, as we were sayingbefore we got on here, rogers
(17:53):
has choices, but let's be real.
He doesn't need the money.
He's already made enough.
So why go to places where?
Why go to the Giants?
Makes absolutely no sense.
Why go?
Scott (18:05):
to Tennessee.
Why are you even talking to theGiants?
That, just Exactly and Giants.
Why are you even talking to theGiants Exactly.
And Giants.
Why are you even talking to him?
Graham (18:17):
Because they need wins.
That's why why.
Scott (18:20):
To save the GM and the head coach that are buh-buh
after this year.
Graham (18:24):
Yeah, a hundred percent.
They got to put the best piecesthere so they can keep their
J-O-Bs.
Like that's really what it comesdown to, they ain't keeping it.
So, in that thought process tome, I would think that two
places that Rodgers would gowould be one the Steelers, or
two Minnesota, considering allthe people that they've just
(18:46):
signed in the last day and ahalf.
So it's like he got choices.
But the funny thing is it'sfunny how things work out in
life.
If he does go to Minnesota, I'mjust going to start calling him
Brett Favre 2.0.
Scott (19:02):
Minus the dick pics.
Graham (19:05):
Minus the dick pics.
Announcer (19:11):
That is wild dude minus, that is.
Graham (19:12):
So it's like.
Scott (19:13):
I mean, could you imagine ?
Graham (19:15):
I mean I've, I know right the hilarity of the
situation is just to the vikingslike to play for the same three
teams but to do it in the sameorder.
You know what I mean.
It's just ridiculous.
I will never forget To play forthe same three teams, but to do
it in the same order.
You know what I mean.
Announcer (19:31):
Dude, I will never.
Scott (19:31):
It's just ridiculous.
I will never forget when BrettFavre went to the Jets Remember
his first year with the Jets.
They started off hot and theChargers had a Monday night game
against the Jets at Qualcommand we just laid the wood to him
.
I'll never forget it.
(19:53):
But dude, I don't know.
Aaron Rodgers to the Steelersmakes sense.
You know it does.
It makes sense.
I just I mean, is he gonna?
We all know the history ofRogers.
He doesn't show up to minicamp.
Is Tomlin going to lay the lawdown and be like look here, you
(20:21):
mom hater, danica Patrickbreaking up with going to hide
in a dark hole for two weeks.
asshat, you have to be here.
Graham (20:33):
Look if you learned anything after the stint with
the Jets?
You've got to be there intraining camp.
You have to get the rapportwith the wide receivers and the
players.
It has to happen.
Scott (20:43):
That whole thing with the Jets dude.
It just started off as anightmare.
We all know we don't need to goback.
I mean the Monday night gamewhen he tears his Achilles, you
know third, fourth play,whatever.
That just started off bad.
If it doesn't start off thatway, it could have been a
different situation.
You know Sala, whatever hisname is, what's their old
(21:08):
coach's name?
I always call him Sala.
It's not Sala.
Whatever his name is, what'swhat's their old coaches?
I always call him solid.
Graham (21:10):
It's not Robert Sala.
Scott (21:12):
Okay, whatever, he might even still be the head coach,
right?
Announcer (21:20):
He should have been.
Scott (21:21):
It was a nightmare, but I don't know, it's hard to say.
The weird thing to me is mycharger signed Najee Harris for
like five and a half, guaranteedlike up to nine.
The Steelers couldn't giveNajee that.
The guy hasn't missed a goddamngame in his career.
(21:42):
And then I saw a fact thatreally blew my mind and really
made me not be as excited aboutsigning Nazi Dude.
The longest Russian Naziscareer was like 32, 33 yards.
He ain't that home run hitter.
So hold on, I see the look onyour face.
(22:04):
He is a gap power running back.
Okay, he's getting the hardyards.
Yeah, you'd think 33 yards, 34yards.
Graham (22:22):
I'll preface that with this, and I'm not and I'm not
hating, I'm just.
Scott (22:28):
I know the blue lines mean shit, but Right, but I had
to read that a couple times.
Graham (22:38):
Yeah, trust me, I like seeing the clip where it said
your head coach had a longerrushing yard, had a longer
rushing attempt than NajeeHarris and I don't know.
First off, what I'd say to thatis this you know who our
quarterbacks have been the lastfour years?
You're not telling me teamsweren't stacking the box 100%.
Scott (23:02):
But even when they did, though, hold on.
Even when they did, though, wasit last year, when he went nuts
.
He was having a shit season.
In the last six games of theseason, he went ape shit the
previous year.
Previous year.
Yeah, yeah yeah, not yet whenyou made the playoffs.
I just remember the game wheny'all dominated Seattle in
Seattle to get in the playoffs.
(23:22):
Yeah, and he was just like hey,boys, get on my back, we good.
Announcer (23:26):
Yeah, and he was just like, hey boys, get on my back
we good.
Graham (23:29):
Yeah, yeah, I still don't understand the situation.
Yes, the contract that hesigned was like $5.125 million
or $5.25 million, but it was upto eight or, I'm sorry, up to
nine.
It was $4 million in incentivesand when I saw that contract,
I'm like Pittsburgh couldn'toffer that Right One-year deal,
(23:51):
one.
I'm like I just something Ican't say, like there has to be
some reason for it.
Like I don't know, maybe hedidn't want to split time
because they're still going tohave Warren, jalen Warren.
So I just I, I don't know.
(24:13):
It was weird.
We've been saying for how manyweeks now all these running
backs coming out?
I get it, I, just I, I theresometimes look, you've mentioned
it earlier Sometimes our teamscan do things that you're just
like what?
What's the plan here?
Scott (24:34):
I'm here, sitting here thinking about it right now.
Pruno Ford stud for us thisyear Free agent.
We signed from Buffalo and welet him literally go over to the
Rams for, I think, $3 millionmore than what we signed Bradley
Bozeman for to be our backupcenter.
Graham (24:57):
Yeah, it was cheap.
Scott (25:01):
I was just like and as much as I ripped on Bradley
Bozeman okay, he played everygame.
We've talked about this before,did he play?
Well, yeah, whatever, thecontinuity between him and
Herbert was good.
But you're gonna let Puna Ford,who was an amazing asset to
your defense, the number onedefense in the regular season,
(25:25):
points allowed.
Let him walk, whatever, noteven getting into it, but some
wild things like if you woke upmonday and said you saw this
coming, then I'm going to callyou a bullshitter.
And that's the texans tradingtonsil to the redskins, right,
(25:47):
right.
I mean, cj Stroud was, I think,sacked more than any
quarterback Well, maybe notCaleb Williams, but their
offensive line was shit.
And the Texans, dude, are 100%revamping their O-line.
And we're talking about Tonsil,who, pro Bowl, is young and
(26:10):
this is his third team.
Graham (26:12):
I know that's crazy.
Scott (26:14):
Crazy.
Graham (26:25):
And everything I've heard researched about Tunsil is
attitude issues Make it makesense.
Scott (26:29):
Yeah, it's wild, I don't know.
I mean, miami took him in thefirst round.
Remember he had his bong facemasks ripping some weed that
surfaced the night of the draftand he dropped.
Remember that that was crazy.
Graham (26:42):
Oh dude, he was going to be a top five pick, yeah.
Scott (26:44):
And then that shit came out Ugh Dolphins drafted him,
traded him to the Texans.
But hey, washington doingthings, doing work to protect
homeboy and the Bears Bears'worst offensive line in the
league.
And they go out and spend ashit ton on this free agent
(27:08):
center.
I can't think of his name fromthe Falcons.
They go out and spend a shitton on this free agent center.
I can't think of his name fromthe Falcons.
Then they do the trade with theChiefs.
Announcer (27:18):
Sheesh Protecting the old Caleb.
Graham (27:20):
Yeah, random thought now .
What do you think now, withthese new pieces?
What do you think?
Their over-under is going to benow, because I feel like last
year it was inflated.
Scott (27:31):
Yeah, the Bears, it was 100% inflated.
Graham (27:35):
So now that a year has gone by and it comes back down
to earth, but remember how theystarted.
Yeah, yeah, but they wereagainst shit teams in their
first six, eight games wereagainst shit teams.
Scott (27:49):
But remember the Hail Mary against.
Announcer (27:51):
Washington.
Scott (27:52):
That killed them.
Oh, that was the end 100%.
I don't know.
I mean, you got Ben Johnsonthere.
We'll see what happens, whoknows.
I just like the fact that theBears went out and Washington
went out and they're like, hey,we got young quarterbacks, let's
(28:16):
protect them, and they went out100%.
They went out and did it,unlike my effing team that has
not signed a lineman yet.
You got a quarterback Anyhow.
Hey, what have you always beensaying?
Trust the process.
Graham (28:38):
I know, I know the thing that sucks is when we can't see
the process and we don't knowwhat it is.
This is why we're jumping upand down right now.
We're just like, all right, wetrust you, but seriously, what
the fuck are you doing?
Scott (28:52):
Can you spend some of that?
Money, please yeah, third mostcap A little help here Something
I have to bring up right nowjust because I need to laugh
after talking about my team.
Tp sent me something yesterdayon Instagram and I just sent it
to you.
You want to read everybody thattext I sent you earlier About
(29:16):
has your team signed a freeagent for over $6 million since
2015?
Oh here we go, yeah, and thisis mind boggling dude, and this
is mind-boggling dude.
Graham (29:32):
Has your team signed a free agent over $6 million since
2015?
Yes, of course, and they'recircled, all these teams.
There's only one team in theNFL in the last 10 years that
has it.
And, folks, this is actuallykind of surprising, but when you
think about it you're like, nowthat you think about it, that
(29:52):
kind of does make sense.
Give it up for the GM of theyear, jerry Jones, and the
Dallas Cowboys.
Let's give them a little golfclap.
Scott (30:00):
Thank you, and by all the teams circled that have, that's
31 teams.
Graham (30:08):
Yeah, I'm like 31 teams.
Yeah, I'm like Like, exactly,wow, wow.
Scott (30:16):
The last player the Cowboys signed in free agency
for over $6 million was GregHardy In 2015.
Graham (30:28):
Oh, that is.
Scott (30:35):
I mean speaking of teams signing people that have no
money.
How about the Saints, dude?
They were number 32 in capspace Restructure, Derek Carr,
and now they got the tight end.
Announcer (30:56):
Chase Young Dude they got it all.
Graham (31:02):
I don't know.
Scott (31:03):
Make it, make sense, folks, and I'm just going to go
out there and say the funniestthing I've read on the world
wide web since Sunday is milesGarrett reportedly demanded $40
million a year and a super bowlwinning quarterback to lead the
Browns, and the Browns were likedone, send me Kenny picket,
(31:27):
send me Kenny.
Announcer (31:28):
Pickett, if that doesn't put a smile on your face
.
Scott (31:35):
Bald guys on the bench listeners.
Nothing I will ever say will.
Graham (31:44):
Hey, if he wants, Russell Wilson's also taking a
peek over there too.
Scott (31:57):
We're on the street homeboys in Cleveland right now.
Oh man, your boy that youwanted in Pittsburgh, justin
Fields, dude To the Jets.
Graham (32:05):
You know the dust has settled a little bit on this for
me, after a few days thinking,about it.
Scott (32:15):
You were bitter, betty, I was.
I know you were Because I sentit to you and you sent me the
throw up on your face emoji.
You were not a happy camper, Iknow, and I agree.
The dude hasn't been given agod dang shot With the Bears.
Graham (32:31):
Yes, he played great.
Scott (32:35):
With what he had, with what he had.
Graham (32:38):
Yeah, yeah.
But If you can't make it toyour third progression, that's a
problem.
If you're a top 15 quarterbackin the NFL, you have to make it
to your third progression.
Scott (32:56):
Yeah, you know why he couldn't make it to his third
progression?
Because all the goddamn teamswere playing man-to-man.
He's sitting back there and hegoes.
He's covered.
He's covered.
Guess what I'm going to do?
He gone, I'm going to run.
I don't have to make it to mythird progression If they're
playing me man to man.
Yeah, I get it, Don't have to.
The NFL has changed.
(33:17):
We know that.
Graham (33:19):
Yeah, but Fields isn't throwing anyone open.
Scott (33:24):
He did pretty good through six games for you guys
last year.
No, do you want me to bring uphis?
Graham (33:28):
Uh, he did pretty good for through six games for you
guys last year.
No, yeah, do you want to bringup his stats for those games?
Scott (33:33):
Yeah.
Graham (33:33):
Four to two.
Okay, how many 300 yardthrowing passing games did he
have?
Scott (33:40):
Uh, how many did Jalen Hurts have?
He won the Superbowl yeah.
Graham (33:47):
He also had Saquon Barkley in that defensive line
and one of the top offensivelines in the league too.
I'm just saying you asked 300yards.
Scott (33:58):
I'm just throwing that out there.
You asked 300 yards.
Graham (34:05):
I mean speaking of the.
Scott (34:06):
Steelers dude.
I got to say this becausegrammar police did you see his
text he sent today?
No, he said if Aaron Rodgerssigns with the Steelers, I'm
partying in the streets and I'mgetting Graham a jersey.
Graham (34:23):
No, he says he's getting me a jersey from China.
Oh, I was going to leave thatpart out.
Scott (34:27):
Oh, okay With the little me a jersey from China.
Well, I was going to leave thatpart out.
Oh, okay, with the littlemini-me numbers.
Announcer (34:33):
Yeah, yeah.
Scott (34:34):
Whatever, dude, why are you going to spend $400 on a
jersey when I can get it fromChina for $30?
Graham (34:40):
I don't care how big it is oh, hold on, no, no, no, no,
don't be saying that now becauseyou gave me shit too, so
because you gave me shit too, sodon't say oh, no, no, no, it's
not a big deal, but then when Ido it, you bust my balls about
it.
Scott (34:53):
I gave you shit because I didn't even realize it until
Grammar Police decided he wasgoing to joke on your jersey.
Announcer (34:58):
Yeah.
Scott (34:59):
But then again we joke on Grammar Police because he's a
fan of two teams.
Graham (35:03):
Yeah, I mean hey, it's not doing me any good right now
that $150 Herbert jersey that'ssitting in my closet, that I'm
no longer a season ticket holderfor.
Scott (35:14):
Yeah, so how do you think Fields is going to do for the
Jets?
Graham (35:18):
I like it.
They got pieces.
I mean he's back with GarrettWilson, so that's a plus.
Scott (35:27):
They got a running back.
They actually have two runningbacks.
Graham (35:31):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I mean the threat on offense isthere, it's, can they make it
work?
Type of a situation.
So I mean anything can happen.
I think things will be positive, anything can happen, I think
things will be positive.
The real question is this Doeshe win more games than the just
(35:51):
one last year?
That's the real question.
I would think, yes, I meanthey're making some moves.
They've signed some players Nottoo many noteworthy players.
Well, I mean, obviously JustinFields is the biggest signing
that they had, but I mean, lookto have that offensive firepower
in Brees Hall and have the legsof Fields.
(36:13):
That's dangerous.
You obviously have GarrettWilson, like I mentioned.
They got pieces.
The O-line is pretty good.
It's just the thing with theJets was a lot of their players
got hurt last year.
Yeah, they did.
They lost two offensive linemen.
They lost some of theirdefensive players, Because the
biggest thing for the Jets wastheir defense Right, Was it not
(36:34):
100%?
And when you lost a couple ofkey defensive players, that
makes a huge deal.
So if they can get their piecesback, look they have a really
good chance of can they wineight games?
Scott (36:49):
They could If they won eight games.
If they win eight games thiscoming up season, that's more
games than Aaron Rodgers won intwo seasons with the Jets.
Graham (37:02):
Well, okay, he also I know.
Scott (37:05):
He screwed up his Achilles Just saying Fair, I get
it.
Announcer (37:18):
I get it, just saying .
Graham (37:20):
I don't know.
Yeah, I mean, look, thecraziest part is Fields' biggest
thing was wherever I go, I wantto be the starter and, like
we've talked about, on the showbefore.
Scott (37:31):
Is he really?
Graham (37:32):
going to be the number one.
Scott (37:33):
And, like we've talked about on the show before, he now
gets to go be that guy andguess what?
He doesn't have to look overhis shoulder.
Graham (37:43):
Yeah, but are you telling me the Jets aren't
signing someone?
Or they're not drafting aquarterback.
Scott (37:49):
He's the number one dude.
Graham (37:55):
Okay, let me ask you this question how confident
would you be if Justin Fieldswas your quarterback and not
Herbert?
Scott (38:02):
That's a different story.
We're comparing a Mercedes to aGod dang Kia.
Graham (38:11):
A Kia?
How about a Hyundai?
Scott (38:14):
No, hyundai is way better than a Kia bro.
Graham (38:17):
That's my point.
He's not a Kia, it's more of aHyundai, Not whatever.
I mean not the real niceHyundai like the, not the.
Not the real nice Hyundai, Notthe Genesis.
Scott (38:29):
You know, like the Elantra.
I'm weak.
I'm dead.
I'm weak.
Anyhow, let's go.
This is way too much time spenton the goddang Jets.
I mean, can we talk aboutsomething that I never thought I
would ever see happen?
Besides and that is the Ninerscutting half of their goddang
(38:58):
team and something I neverthought I would ever see happen
I thought the dude would retirebefore it would happen.
Is Kyle Juszczyk?
Is that how you say his name?
Yeah, getting released.
Never thought I'd see thathappen.
Graham (39:16):
And why is that?
It's because each team has thatone player that you're like
that's the team guy, that's thecaptain.
We're going to keep him around,we'll give him less money, but
we're not letting him go type ofsituation.
Scott (39:35):
The dude was a baller.
How many teams use fullbacksanymore?
Exactly, it's dead.
It's a new league.
Not only that, but I alwayslike to bring this up.
Wife's a smoke show, makesjackets.
Taylor Swift is wearing herjacket.
Graham (39:52):
What are you trying to say?
She's hot, no, okay, but whatdoes that have to?
Scott (39:59):
do with Nothing.
It has nothing to do withanything, I'm just pointing out
the obvious.
She's hot Okay.
Graham (40:08):
Oh, a wife of an NFL player is hot Shocker.
Scott (40:11):
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
But dude the Niners, I mean wetalked about it before we even
got on air.
They went all in.
John Lynch Shanahan were likebefore we even got on air they
went all in.
John Lynch Shanahan were likeit's win mode.
(40:32):
Now you said it, they've beenin two Super Bowls in the last
whatever Four or five years.
Yeah, jimmy G as yourquarterback, brock Purdy as your
other quarterback, and remember, jimmy G almost won that game
against the Chiefs.
Graham (40:48):
If he doesn't overthrow Emmanuel Sanders, that's over
the end.
Like he overthrew him by fiveyards.
Well, maybe not five.
Scott (41:00):
It was like three, like about two, three yards.
Didn't they have a huge leadgoing into the fourth?
Graham (41:05):
I don't know if it was a huge lead.
Scott (41:07):
It was two possessions.
Graham (41:09):
Yeah, two possessions yeah, but that would have been
the nail in the coffin.
Scott (41:11):
That's a big lead in the Super Bowl, in the fourth
quarter, two possessions Facts.
But, dude, didn't they go outand they go crazy, let's get
McCaffrey.
You know Jeez Louise, yeah,dude.
Then they go out and they gocrazy, let's get McCaffrey.
You know, geez yeah.
But are we gonna see all thepeople on defense?
Graham (41:32):
Greenlaw and all them like they, trent Williams, all
these guys homeboy gets hurt inthe Super Bowl jumping up and
down.
Scott (41:42):
Yeah, didn't he tear his ACL or whatnot?
I mean it's like yeah, and thenthis past year the injury's
terrible, but Just bad luck forthem this past year.
Graham (41:53):
I mean they were competitive.
I mean they look, they put allthe chips in the middle.
They said we're going all in.
They did.
They had two chances to win itall.
I mean, look what would havehappened if Purdy didn't get
hurt the previous year and theycould have played the Eagles.
Scott (42:12):
No, he got hurt against the Eagles.
Oh yeah, that's right, yeah, sonot In the first quarter, I
think.
Announcer (42:19):
Yeah, and they got a vote, so that's what I'm saying.
Graham (42:20):
It's just like oh Well.
So that's what I'm saying.
It's just like oh Well, dude.
Scott (42:24):
That was an infamous game when Joey Bosa was going to
root for his brother andremember all the Eagles fans
yelling at him and he was like,oh, are you sending this to your
boys on Snapchat?
Speaking of Joey Bosa, dudeChargers released him, saved 25
mil on the cap and just signedhim with the Bills last night.
Graham (42:45):
What was it for?
Like 10, 12, something likethat Not a lot, dude.
Scott (42:49):
Not a lot, yeah, but you know, once again the guy stays
healthy.
He's a menace 100%.
Bills just released Von Miller.
They had to replace him withsomebody, right?
Graham (43:05):
I don't hate it.
Everyone always says the bestskill to have in the NFL is
availability.
If you ain't on the field, itain't helping me.
It ain't helping at all.
Scott (43:19):
So I'm just what else we got.
What else we got?
Oh Hopkins who One of myfavorite got.
Oh Hopkins who, One of myfavorite wide receivers ever
dude, this guy is literally oneof my favorite wide receivers
ever for what he did at Houstonwith the 17,000 quarterbacks
that threw him passes, and hejust signed with the Ravens.
(43:42):
For what Six mil.
Graham (43:48):
I don't even know.
Scott (43:49):
My thing is this.
Announcer (43:50):
I don't even know what to say.
Scott (43:52):
I mean, it's sad.
Graham (43:54):
If you're on a team that has Patrick Mahomes and you
don't get the ball hardly at alltowards the end of the season,
like the first couple games thathe started.
He had decent numbers, he had alot of targets.
Decent, he had a lot of targets, but like the last five games
of the season and then into theplayoffs, like three targets a
(44:17):
game, like what happened.
Scott (44:19):
Yeah, I will say this.
Obviously he's getting olderbut it's got to be hard to get
traded midseason and gosomewhere, like the Chiefs who
have a lot of pieces in placeand now to go be the guy.
(44:41):
Pieces in place and now to gobe the guy.
You know it's gotta be hard,granted that that wasn't the
reason he dropped that ball inthe Superbowl, you know.
But to go to the Ravens, yougot Zay flowers.
He's going to make some catchesdude for the Ravens.
Yeah, I think it is a goodsituation for him.
Announcer (45:07):
No, I agree 100%.
Graham (45:09):
It's a great situation, Especially with I mean, who's
Lamar throwing the ball to?
Scott (45:15):
Yeah, Zay, Mark Andrews.
What's the other tight end'sname?
Likely.
Graham (45:22):
I say likely.
Scott (45:22):
Likely and still.
Graham (45:24):
Wait, I thought Andrews was a free agent.
Is he?
Are they resigning him?
Scott (45:27):
No, he's got one year left.
Oh, that's what I keep waitingfor my charters to do.
Andrews, with Joe Ortiz'shistory with the Ravens Makes
sense.
But, yeah, yeah, but I like it.
I like him going there.
He doesn't have to be the man,right, you know, it's not the
(45:52):
pressure of the trade midseasonwhere you're supposed to go into
the Chiefs and be the man.
Graham (45:59):
Yeah, but I mean.
Scott (46:00):
We all saw Xavier Worthy be the man at the beginning of
the season and then, as theseason progressed, became the
man.
Graham (46:12):
Oh, 100%, you know.
But Well, when you have hisspeed I mean it helps.
Yeah, it don't hurt thingsright, like, let's be real.
Yeah, the only thing I'll sayabout the Hopkins is this Were
you that impressed with what hedid at Tennessee the full year
he was there Previous?
Scott (46:31):
Who's throwing him the ball?
Graham (46:33):
That's well.
I mean, like I get that.
But look, I know my comment tothat would be you're still an
NFL quarterback.
You have to be good Like youcan get the ball to your star
wide receiver.
Like that's the only thing Iwould say to that I'm trying to
think of some asshat quarterbackyeah, you're trying to poke
(46:55):
holes in my theory like I can'tstarting quarterback, not backup
, not backup starting.
Scott (47:04):
Anyhow.
Anyhow a couple of things thatI'd be depressed if I didn't
bring up in the show tonight.
Number one Ovechkin.
Nine goals away from breakingWayne Gretzky's record, yeah,
and the saddest news of the weektiger woods.
(47:27):
Oh bro, brutal.
When I saw that I was just likecome on, man dude the worst
part about it was I did.
Graham (47:41):
I mean, obviously you're upset because of you know the
mat, you know he was ramping upfor possibly playing in the
masters and you know all theother events, but like it didn't
even dawn on me, bro, he can'teven do the tgl.
Obviously he's done.
I don't want to say it's thesign sealed and delivered, but
we're at a point now where it'sjust like I don't want to say,
(48:07):
if he comes back, but the onlything he would do when he
recovers is TGL, because there'sno walking at all, like playing
on the seniors tour, maybe ifhe wants to do that, or possibly
(48:29):
if he gets an exemption Wait,can you get exemptions into
majors?
Scott (48:35):
Well, he's exempt for the Masters for life.
Well, yeah, and the Britishbasically for life, but normally
people are done when they're 65.
Yeah, I don't know.
I think the US opens 10 years.
Yeah, I don't know the PGA.
But my golf committee chairmantexted me last night and he was
(49:00):
like dude, doesn't it suck forTiger?
I'm like dude, it's brutal melast night and he's like dude,
doesn't it suck for tiger?
I'm like dude, it's brutal.
You know he goes now.
He's got two bad legs.
I think he's done playinganything on the tour.
Maybe the champions tour nextyear when he can ride.
And I said what you and Ialways say I'm like, yep, play
champions, ride, get intournament and play in the
(49:23):
majors.
And John was like I'd besurprised if he was able to walk
72 holes.
Graham (49:33):
He's got two bad legs now I just, I'm just not ready
to let go, dude.
Scott (49:42):
You have been to Augusta, I've been to Augusta.
You know how hilly that goddamnplace is.
You know how many crazy liesyou get on that golf course.
Graham (49:54):
Uphill, downhill, side hill, that puts a lot of
pressure on what your knees,your legs, ankles everything.
Can he walk with a cane?
Is that allowed?
Scott (50:10):
I'm sure, but he ain't doing that, I'm just saying I
know I was like, even though I'mnot going to Augusta this year,
I'm still bummed for all thepatrons that were looking
forward to it, just to even ifhe misses the cut.
Dude, if he misses cut to seetiger, like last year when I
(50:31):
went.
I got there on Sunday.
I went to the practice round onMonday.
I literally you know how thatwalk and going into the place,
the practice facility on yourleft, the first person I saw on
the practice facility was Tigerhitting bunker shots.
Graham (50:53):
How many people do you think were standing right there?
A thousand Times ten, I'm justsaying just in that little spot.
Scott (51:02):
Just to see Tiger there.
You know, I just got goosebumpsthinking about it.
It sucks, bro.
It sucks.
I don't care.
I don't care if he goes outthere to Augusta and shoots
80-80 and misses a cut.
Whatever, you're watching Tigerat Augusta.
Graham (51:23):
Bro, I'm going to say something that makes me want to
vomit.
In 10 years, tiger's going tobe one of the opening ceremony
guys.
It might be longer than that.
To tee off, it might be longer.
Well, in 10 years, the threeguys that are still alive.
You're not telling me who'sgoing to be the ceremonial guys,
(51:47):
because Nicholas will probablybe dead in 10 years.
Gary Player will definitely bedead in 10 years.
Scott (51:53):
Who is it now?
It's Gary Jack, and is itWatson?
Graham (52:01):
Yeah, and Watson, yeah, yeah, I mean, all those guys are
mid-70s and up.
Scott (52:07):
Most of the guys stop playing, like the British and
Augusta, when they're around 65.
Announcer (52:15):
Yeah.
Graham (52:18):
Hard to say I mean, if there's any course, tigers would
still have a chance.
The older he gets, it would beAugusta, just because he knows
it so well and that's whereyou're wrong, MF-er.
Tory Nope.
Scott (52:38):
You're forgetting about the flattest course of all of
them.
Announcer (52:43):
Oh well, when.
Scott (52:46):
Come on.
Oh well, where Come on?
I'm waiting.
To quote Caddyshack JudgeSmiles.
Well, we're waiting.
Graham (52:56):
I just slapped myself.
Just hit me with it.
St Andrews.
Announcer (53:00):
All right, there you go.
Graham (53:02):
Yeah, but they only do it there.
What is it Five?
They don't do it.
Do it there.
What is it every Five?
Scott (53:05):
They don't do it every five, Like how is it Every how
many years it's?
Graham (53:07):
five, yeah, and they just did it Two years ago.
Scott (53:14):
Yeah, when Cam Smith won.
Graham (53:18):
So that was at least yeah.
Announcer (53:19):
Two Well, yeah, so he could do it.
Yeah, yeah.
Scott (53:22):
Hmm, it's a flat golf course.
Alright, yeah, but yeah, so hecould do it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hmm, it's a flat golf course.
All right, yeah, but you know,it sucks regardless, that's all.
Graham (53:34):
I mean, dude, the worst part was after it happened is
just when you see Jack Nicholasmake a comment, he's like well,
that's locked up now.
Yeah, he didn't catch it.
Scott (53:42):
I mean, like I get that he didn't catch it.
It was signed, sealed deliveredI mean like I get that.
Jack said that before this.
Graham (53:49):
No, I know, but I'm just saying like, yeah, it sucks.
A he's still number two in mybook.
I don't give a shit.
A that's an argument, but Imean, you could go either way, I
don't disagree or agree.
Scott (54:05):
I'm just going to say yes .
Graham (54:08):
Yeah, I mean we've had episodes where we've talked
about it in the past.
We don't need to get into itbecause now it's just like now I
feel like debating it, but I'mlike, no, we don't need to get
into that.
It's just, it's sad, especiallybecause now he's almost 50.
And then like dude recoveringsad especially because now he's
(54:30):
almost 50.
And then like dude, recoveringfrom a major injury at 50 is not
easy folks, and then to recoverand still be an athlete after
that, it's like sheesh but we'realmost an hour into this
episode.
Scott (54:39):
A couple things I want to talk about before we get on.
Our next episode on Sunday isScotty's hot picks for the
Players' Championship.
If you've made it this long andyou're still awake, you're

We don't know what it is, butHopefully we can figure out what
it is soon enough.
Scott, what a crazy last coupledays has been.
This is the excitement we'vebeen waiting for after post
super bowl.
You know, the only thing that'skeeping us excited about the
nfl stuff that's happening rightnow obviously the combine stuff
, and now the only thing ofexcitement is because it will
(58:43):
die.
These player additions will dieoff here within another week
and then the only thing that'sleft the draft, and that's about
five, six weeks away.
Announcer (58:54):
April.
Graham (58:54):
So yeah.
It's usually it's like thethird week in April, I think.
Scott (59:00):
And the best, thing, the best.
Graham (59:02):
Thing schedule release in May.
Yes, all right, lord.
Scott (59:14):
Two years in a row you've got us two years in a row.

I like to think of baby.
Please have the steelerscharger game, please baby Jesus.

Please have the Steelers-Chargers game that we
can go to and, if not, pleasehave the game that, if we meet
up with Rob Either in KansasCity or In Dallas, something,
something needs to happen, butwe need to see a game together.
Scott (59:42):
And please don't let Washington and the Chargers be

We finally get to record anepisode when it's his
quote-unquote weekend and youknow, we hit you with the golf
Sunday.
We're gonna start getting intothe NFL free agency, but we
(00:44):
thought it'd be better to do ittonight After all the bullshit
going on.
Graham, what's cracking overthere in Vegas?
Graham (00:52):
Oh, you know, Another beautiful day out here in the
West Coast.
But you know, like we always do, all this drama going on with
the NFL.
We talked about it the otherday, but now all the drama
happens.
But we're going to get intothat.
Scott, I'm thirsty, it's timeto grab one and crack one.
Let's go.
I am so thirsty too.
Announcer (01:10):

Scott (01:12):
Vegas Dude, it was a perfect March day here 70
degrees.
Your boy got fit today for hisnew wrenches by TaylorMade.
Oh, baby you, it's been a day.
It's been a day.
(01:32):
It's been a day.
It's a great day to have a day.
We'll say that, speaking of agreat day to have a day, how
about calling more Calvis Caddytoday, on 17 Wednesday, at the
Players' Championship, all theplayers throw a bunch of money
into a jar and the caddies getto hit a shot close to the pin,
gets to take the money oh what'sthat boy do?
(01:55):

I mean, you're carrying a bagfor 16 holes and then all of a
sudden they're throwing you anine iron pitching wedge
whatever 135, 140 yards.
Yeah, made a couple practiceswings.
Oh, thanks for playing, I'mjust going to jar it.
(02:15):
And then, as he's walking, he'slike I've never made a hole in
one.
If I make it, I'm going to jumpin the water.
Makes it, jumps in the water.
Yeah, there's these things thatare big long They'll bite your
face off in the water.
They're called alligators Zerofucks.
Graham (02:33):
Given that's all I got to say to that, I'm curious to
know what was the pot.
I mean, if you average 200, 300, and even if only half the guys
did it 50 players.
Scott (02:48):
Oh no, they all throw cash in it.
Graham (02:52):
Oh okay, so 100 players, even if it was 200, that's 20
Gs.
Hey homeboy, better be playinghis boys better tonight, thanks
for playing.
Scott (03:02):
That's all I'm saying Right.
Yeah, it was awesome.
That's all I'm saying Right.
Graham (03:07):
Yeah, it was awesome, let's go.
Scott (03:08):
But you know it's Wednesday.
We normally talk about ourweekends.
Starting off the episode, it'snot my weekend, it's actually
your weekend.
So, g, what did you do today onyour quote-unquote Saturday Gee
?
Graham (03:24):
what'd you do today on your quote-unquote Saturday?
Well, I crossed a restaurantoff the list.
There is a burger place outhere, a new spot that opened up
about almost a year ago called Ithink it's called Love you
(03:45):
Always.
It's a burger place.
The only thing on their menuare three burgers and they're
all.
Mostly it's a Smashburger place, but it's been blowing up all
over YouTube and Instagram forbeing the thing around here and
I've seen it and I noticed thatit wasn't too far away from
where I live and I was like youknow what, what sounds good?
(04:06):
Today, mom's like you want togo to lunch and I was like you
know what?
I want to try these SmashBurgers.
Everyone keeps blowing it upand she's like all right, let's
go out and check it out.
So we went and did that and,bro, they weren't lying Gas
(04:28):
straight fire.
Dude smash burgers they're thedeal, bro.
I mean, like, is that the firstone you've ever had?
No, I've had one, like a whileago, but it's been a while.
But this place is like theyliterally only have.
Their whole menu is threeburgers, more or less the same
type, in a sense.
They have fries and they have,uh, three different types of ice
cream.
That's it, that's all they haveso.
(04:49):
But hey, it's like in and outand back in the day.
If you only if you know whatyou're good at and you only make
a few things there you go andlet me tell you folks dude,
we've got another brawl in thisgame.
Scott (05:03):
This is awesome, Um, but you said like in and out, if you
know what you're good at, um.
My question is this what is?
Graham (05:15):
in and out.
Good at Consistency, qualityfood that's consistent, so not
the burgers.
Scott (05:23):
Just being consistent is what in and out is best at
Quality, not the burgers.
Graham (05:25):
Just being consistent is what In-N-Out's best at Quality
products made consistently thesame way.
Scott (05:33):
I'm going to give a shout out.
Graham (05:34):
Why are you hating on In-N-Out?
Scott (05:36):
Hold on.
I'm going to give a shout outreal quick to TP.
Okay, back in the day when TPwas one of my assistants, we
went he was a vegetarian and wewent and played in the pro
assistant in Palm Springs andthey had an in and out truck,
right, and TP was always talkingand praising about the grilled
(06:00):
cheese at in and out.
And I'm like you know what?
I'm going to try it.
You know I don't want to eatthis big, greasy, overrated
burger before I go play golf.
I'm going to try it out.
It's better than the goddamnburger.
Oh, I mean In-N-Out it's good.
I mean, I ain't hating on it,but you know, I'd rather go to
(06:25):
five guys.
Graham (06:27):
Oh, and spend $20 on a burger and bro, what ain't $20
anymore?
Scott (06:34):
Facts I'm just.
I mean, I went to waffle housethe other day and I got the
goddamn breakfast combo and eggsare so damn expensive.
You had to pay two extradollars because you got two eggs
.
Announcer (06:43):
I know I expensive.
Scott (06:46):
you had to pay two extra dollars because you got two eggs
.
I know, I know, but I meananyhow we got a little off topic
, but whatever that's why we areus.
Oh, facts I mean.
But anyhow, before we get intothe episode, I'm just gonna let
the world know.
Your boy started off nfl freeagency excited and then was kind
(07:12):
of bummed because my chargershad a shit ton of money and
weren't doing anything.
And I'm watching, I'm like, uh,you know, like that old meme
with the dude with the stickpoking, some do something.
Oh we signed our punter Yay.
You know I'm like, oh, whatever.
You know who I mean the one guyyou don't want on the field,
(07:38):
you know.
But you know, literally rightbefore we got on air I got a
little bit of good news and ablast from the past.
Mike dub back with the chargers.
One year deal, 6 million.
Can't hate on it If you canstay healthy.
Great 50, 50 guy back with thequarterback he played with for a
(08:02):
while.
You know I was excited.
I just literally told TPp I'mlike dude, I wasn't excited
about doing this episode becausemy squad that has all this cash
ain't doing shit.
But I will say this before weget into anything.
I said rob, I said I've said itto you, I said it to tp
something's big is getting readyto happen in my mind.
(08:24):
That's why the chargers haven'toverpaid.
There's been so much overpayinghappening since free agency
started.
Okay, I think we're going to dosomething.
I don't know what it is.
Something's coming, or yeah,who's left Trades?
Graham (08:44):
Who's left?
You can make.
Scott (08:45):
Who's left?
Graham (08:45):
to make a splash.
Scott (08:46):
Trades and signs.
Higgins they're still danglingHiggins out there, Okay.
Graham (08:53):
Yeah, but you don't want to pay him that ticket.
Scott (08:56):
Dude rumors out there saying the Bengals could trade
Jamar.
There is, he wants 40.
He wants 40 a year.
If you're the Bengals, you keepHiggins, you keep Hendrickson.
You can't keep both widereceivers.
Graham (09:10):
It's one or the other.
Scott (09:11):
That's what I'm saying.
You keep Higgins and you keepHendrickson and you trade Jamar
and you load up in draft picks.
Graham (09:29):
There's not a world I live in that I could possibly
see that, but there's NFL mediawith blue check marks by their
name on Twitter talking about it.
I'm going to be honest Wow, Ihaven't heard that yet, but I'll
say this To think what the Ican't.
This is so ridiculous to eventhink about as a Bengals fan.
Scott (09:54):
There is no way you can support your team if you trade
Jamar Chase.
I don't disagree with you.
Graham (09:57):
Considering the fact that you took him in the first
round over Penesol Penesol.
Scott (10:04):
I do not disagree with you, but remember the rumors
last year.
Graham (10:07):
When you needed O-line help.
Scott (10:08):
Remember the rumors last year about the Vikings and
Jefferson.
Same thing.
Graham (10:14):
There's no way Like besides the talent level between
Higgins and Jamar Chase.
It's night and day.
It's like Batman and Robin andthe difference of 10 million.
Scott (10:27):
Yeah, it's Batman and Robin.
You know, that's what I'msaying, like the difference of
10 million.
Yeah, it's Batman and Robin.
Graham (10:29):
You know, that's what I'm saying.
Like, get rid of Higgins,buh-bye what?
Get rid of Higgins?
Re-sign Hendrickson.
Scott (10:39):
Higgins is a talent.
Yeah, but you know he's alwaysbeen the number two.
Graham (10:45):
Like.
Scott (10:46):
I know.
What I, the number two, like, Iknow what I, I don't know Just
had to throw it out there.
But anyhow, before we even getstarted in all the signings and
all this and that andspeculations of what's going to
happen, can I just say one thingTampering period was supposed
(11:08):
to start Monday, a couple ofdays ago at noon and all of a
sudden we get the news oh,Devontae Adams signs with the
Rams.
I'm sorry, how are theynegotiating when tampering
starts Monday at noon and heagrees to a deal Sunday at 6
(11:29):
o'clock Eastern time?
That's like saying, oh, youknow, your tee time is at 8
o'clock tomorrow, but yeah, youcan go play at 7.
Graham (11:41):
It's like I've said before what's the point of
leaving the tampering period?
It doesn't make sense.
Just start the free agency onMonday.
Call it a day Like what.
You need time to talk tomultiple people before you
decide who you want.
Scott (11:55):
What were the days before that exactly?
It makes no sense.
I don't get it at all, whatever.
But something that did makesome sense on sunday night and
got you all fired up was DKbeing traded to your Steelers
for a second round, pick rightSecond, and then like a flop of
six.
Graham (12:14):
We swapped fists.
Yeah, swapped six picks.
Scott (12:17):
And then you signed him five years, 150?
.
Yeah, something like that,right, yeah, hey, solid Dude,
seattle, jeez Louise, you getrid of Gino.
You get rid of Tyler Lockett.
Now Geno's gone.
I mean, smith and Jig wasnumber one.
Who's their quarterback?
(12:39):
Hold my beer, sam Howell.
Graham (12:44):
At the time, until the new signing.
Scott (12:48):
But then bada, bing, bada , boom Monday, the number one
free agent quarterback.
Yeah, let's go.
I'm a Seahawk, sam Darnold,let's go.
Do you like him going there?
It's something we haven't eventalked about.
Do you like him going there?
Graham (13:11):
Yes, for a couple of reasons.
One, where was he going to gothat you can say to yourself
does he fit the system Right?
Number one because, obviously,what he did prior to being in
minnesota, it was all about thesystem and the players around
(13:34):
him, right.
So, being in the right system,being with that coach,
everything was good.
Um, and the thing also is, itwas one year that he proved his
worth.
So, as an organization, how doyou say to yourself do I really
want to spend 30 to $40 millionon this guy that just had one
(13:54):
really good year on a team thathad the great pieces around him?
So if the teams that reallyneeded a quarterback, they don't
have those pieces.
So if you don't have thosepieces, why would you want to
risk spending that money onsomeone that had the?
I mean, I'm not calling him aone-hit wonder, no, I agree.
I mean he's still young and allthat stuff, but it's just like
(14:14):
I would want him to go to aplace where he would feel
comfortable in their system andhe wouldn't have to basically
put the franchise on his back,because everyone knows Seattle,
they're in rebuild, like, let'sbe honest.
So, with that being said, theyneed someone to steady the ship
play.
Well, help them win some games.
(14:36):
Like, let's be real, if theywin, is there?
Is there over under six and ahalf?
Seven and a half, not sure?
no, I mean I don't think it'sout yet, but I'm just saying,
based off the players that havedepartured from there, you would
have to say they're over-unders, like six and a half.
You would think so Right now.
So, that being said, they needsomeone that's competent to come
(14:59):
in there and they still neededsomeone because, granted, they
still have Howell there, but youneed someone else there as well
, so they need some.
Basically, they need someone tosell it to the fans Is really
what it comes down to.
Scott (15:13):
I personally thought the best place for him to go would
be to your team.
Yeah, I just you know, he'sstill young.
I, I, just, I, I thought, butyou guys weren't gonna pay that
(15:38):
and that's the thing we weren'tgonna pay that.
Graham (15:40):
It's like we have some money to spend, but uh hello, we
just gave a boatload of it todk.
Uh, hello, we're gonna bepaying t Watt another
record-breaking contract.
Scott (15:52):
This is his last year, right Last year, yeah, yeah.
Graham (15:56):
So they're going to re-sign him and you know how
much that's going to cost us.
Yeah, exactly so it's just.
I mean, that's going to beclose to 40 a year and, trust me
, if there's anyone thatdeserves it, obviously, yeah, he
does Him.
So we've picked up a coupleother pieces.
I just didn't want to get themand by him I mean Darnold
because I didn't want to spendthat price tag.
(16:17):
That's really what it was.
It was more for rostermanagement in my reasoning,
because if we're going to spendthat type of money, then we
can't pick up the other.
Like, could we have paid DK ifwe got Darnold?
Probably not, you know.
Scott (16:33):
Stop, stop.
Yes, you could have.
Did you see what the Chiefs didtoday?
Did you see what the Chiefs didtoday in their salary cap hell?
They just restructured Kermitand Chris Jones to free up $49
million.
Graham (16:46):
Yeah, but the problem is , the biggest people that we owe
money to or that are incontract with us are people that
we need to resign, like TJ atthe end of his deal.
The biggest contract thatPittsburgh has, I think, is Mika
Fitzpatrick Wow, right now.
And then obviously DK.
Right now and then obviously DK, because all the other guys
(17:10):
kind of restructured, but TJWatt's deal, but he's on the
last year of it, so he can'treally restructure.
That's why they're giving him anew deal anyway.
So it's just like he canrestructure and extend, which is
what he's doing.
He's going to retire as astealer.
Scott (17:25):
So my question is this what are y'all going to pay
Aaron Rodgers?
Graham (17:32):
retire as dealer.
But so my question is this whatare y'all gonna pay aaron
rogers, 25, I would say he wantsto play two years, so we'll
call it a two-year deal for 50million dollars for two years.
What did donald?
he's not worth.
Like, what was his deal for thejets?
I don't remember, I don't evenremember.
Yeah, well, it is what it'slike.
I i't think, I can't.
And look, as we were sayingbefore we got on here, rogers
(17:53):
has choices, but let's be real.
He doesn't need the money.
He's already made enough.
So why go to places where?
Why go to the Giants?
Makes absolutely no sense.
Why go?
Scott (18:05):
to Tennessee.
Why are you even talking to theGiants?
That, just Exactly and Giants.
Why are you even talking to theGiants Exactly.
And Giants.
Why are you even talking to him?
Graham (18:17):
Because they need wins.
That's why why.
Scott (18:20):
To save the GM and the head coach that are buh-buh
after this year.
Graham (18:24):
Yeah, a hundred percent.
They got to put the best piecesthere so they can keep their
J-O-Bs.
Like that's really what it comesdown to, they ain't keeping it.
So, in that thought process tome, I would think that two
places that Rodgers would gowould be one the Steelers, or
two Minnesota, considering allthe people that they've just
(18:46):
signed in the last day and ahalf.
So it's like he got choices.
But the funny thing is it'sfunny how things work out in
life.
If he does go to Minnesota, I'mjust going to start calling him
Brett Favre 2.0.
Scott (19:02):
Minus the dick pics.
Graham (19:05):
Minus the dick pics.
Announcer (19:11):
That is wild dude minus, that is.
Graham (19:12):
So it's like.
Scott (19:13):
I mean, could you imagine ?
Graham (19:15):
I mean I've, I know right the hilarity of the
situation is just to the vikingslike to play for the same three
teams but to do it in the sameorder.
You know what I mean.
It's just ridiculous.
I will never forget To play forthe same three teams, but to do
it in the same order.
You know what I mean.
Announcer (19:31):
Dude, I will never.
Scott (19:31):
It's just ridiculous.
I will never forget when BrettFavre went to the Jets Remember
his first year with the Jets.
They started off hot and theChargers had a Monday night game
against the Jets at Qualcommand we just laid the wood to him
.
I'll never forget it.
(19:53):
But dude, I don't know.
Aaron Rodgers to the Steelersmakes sense.
You know it does.
It makes sense.
I just I mean, is he gonna?
We all know the history ofRogers.
He doesn't show up to minicamp.
Is Tomlin going to lay the lawdown and be like look here, you
(20:21):
mom hater, danica Patrickbreaking up with going to hide
in a dark hole for two weeks.
asshat, you have to be here.
Graham (20:33):
Look if you learned anything after the stint with
the Jets?
You've got to be there intraining camp.
You have to get the rapportwith the wide receivers and the
players.
It has to happen.
Scott (20:43):
That whole thing with the Jets dude.
It just started off as anightmare.
We all know we don't need to goback.
I mean the Monday night gamewhen he tears his Achilles, you
know third, fourth play,whatever.
That just started off bad.
If it doesn't start off thatway, it could have been a
different situation.
You know Sala, whatever hisname is, what's their old
(21:08):
coach's name?
I always call him Sala.
It's not Sala.
Whatever his name is, what'swhat's their old coaches?
I always call him solid.
Graham (21:10):
It's not Robert Sala.
Scott (21:12):
Okay, whatever, he might even still be the head coach,
right?
Announcer (21:20):
He should have been.
Scott (21:21):
It was a nightmare, but I don't know, it's hard to say.
The weird thing to me is mycharger signed Najee Harris for
like five and a half, guaranteedlike up to nine.
The Steelers couldn't giveNajee that.
The guy hasn't missed a goddamngame in his career.
(21:42):
And then I saw a fact thatreally blew my mind and really
made me not be as excited aboutsigning Nazi Dude.
The longest Russian Naziscareer was like 32, 33 yards.
He ain't that home run hitter.
So hold on, I see the look onyour face.
(22:04):
He is a gap power running back.
Okay, he's getting the hardyards.
Yeah, you'd think 33 yards, 34yards.
Graham (22:22):
I'll preface that with this, and I'm not and I'm not
hating, I'm just.
Scott (22:28):
I know the blue lines mean shit, but Right, but I had
to read that a couple times.
Graham (22:38):
Yeah, trust me, I like seeing the clip where it said
your head coach had a longerrushing yard, had a longer
rushing attempt than NajeeHarris and I don't know.
First off, what I'd say to thatis this you know who our
quarterbacks have been the lastfour years?
You're not telling me teamsweren't stacking the box 100%.
Scott (23:02):
But even when they did, though, hold on.
Even when they did, though, wasit last year, when he went nuts
.
He was having a shit season.
In the last six games of theseason, he went ape shit the
previous year.
Previous year.
Yeah, yeah yeah, not yet whenyou made the playoffs.
I just remember the game wheny'all dominated Seattle in
Seattle to get in the playoffs.
(23:22):
Yeah, and he was just like hey,boys, get on my back, we good.
Announcer (23:26):
Yeah, and he was just like, hey boys, get on my back
we good.
Graham (23:29):
Yeah, yeah, I still don't understand the situation.
Yes, the contract that hesigned was like $5.125 million
or $5.25 million, but it was upto eight or, I'm sorry, up to
nine.
It was $4 million in incentivesand when I saw that contract,
I'm like Pittsburgh couldn'toffer that Right One-year deal,
(23:51):
one.
I'm like I just something Ican't say, like there has to be
some reason for it.
Like I don't know, maybe hedidn't want to split time
because they're still going tohave Warren, jalen Warren.
So I just I, I don't know.
(24:13):
It was weird.
We've been saying for how manyweeks now all these running
backs coming out?
I get it, I, just I, I theresometimes look, you've mentioned
it earlier Sometimes our teamscan do things that you're just
like what?
What's the plan here?
Scott (24:34):
I'm here, sitting here thinking about it right now.
Pruno Ford stud for us thisyear Free agent.
We signed from Buffalo and welet him literally go over to the
Rams for, I think, $3 millionmore than what we signed Bradley
Bozeman for to be our backupcenter.
Graham (24:57):
Yeah, it was cheap.
Scott (25:01):
I was just like and as much as I ripped on Bradley
Bozeman okay, he played everygame.
We've talked about this before,did he play?
Well, yeah, whatever, thecontinuity between him and
Herbert was good.
But you're gonna let Puna Ford,who was an amazing asset to
your defense, the number onedefense in the regular season,
(25:25):
points allowed.
Let him walk, whatever, noteven getting into it, but some
wild things like if you woke upmonday and said you saw this
coming, then I'm going to callyou a bullshitter.
And that's the texans tradingtonsil to the redskins, right,
(25:47):
right.
I mean, cj Stroud was, I think,sacked more than any
quarterback Well, maybe notCaleb Williams, but their
offensive line was shit.
And the Texans, dude, are 100%revamping their O-line.
And we're talking about Tonsil,who, pro Bowl, is young and
(26:10):
this is his third team.
Graham (26:12):
I know that's crazy.
Scott (26:14):
Crazy.
Graham (26:25):
And everything I've heard researched about Tunsil is
attitude issues Make it makesense.
Scott (26:29):
Yeah, it's wild, I don't know.
I mean, miami took him in thefirst round.
Remember he had his bong facemasks ripping some weed that
surfaced the night of the draftand he dropped.
Remember that that was crazy.
Graham (26:42):
Oh dude, he was going to be a top five pick, yeah.
Scott (26:44):
And then that shit came out Ugh Dolphins drafted him,
traded him to the Texans.
But hey, washington doingthings, doing work to protect
homeboy and the Bears Bears'worst offensive line in the
league.
And they go out and spend ashit ton on this free agent
(27:08):
center.
I can't think of his name fromthe Falcons.
They go out and spend a shitton on this free agent center.
I can't think of his name fromthe Falcons.
Then they do the trade with theChiefs.
Announcer (27:18):
Sheesh Protecting the old Caleb.
Graham (27:20):
Yeah, random thought now .
What do you think now, withthese new pieces?
What do you think?
Their over-under is going to benow, because I feel like last
year it was inflated.
Scott (27:31):
Yeah, the Bears, it was 100% inflated.
Graham (27:35):
So now that a year has gone by and it comes back down
to earth, but remember how theystarted.
Yeah, yeah, but they wereagainst shit teams in their
first six, eight games wereagainst shit teams.
Scott (27:49):
But remember the Hail Mary against.
Announcer (27:51):
Washington.
Scott (27:52):
That killed them.
Oh, that was the end 100%.
I don't know.
I mean, you got Ben Johnsonthere.
We'll see what happens, whoknows.
I just like the fact that theBears went out and Washington
went out and they're like, hey,we got young quarterbacks, let's
(28:16):
protect them, and they went out100%.
They went out and did it,unlike my effing team that has
not signed a lineman yet.
You got a quarterback Anyhow.
Hey, what have you always beensaying?
Trust the process.
Graham (28:38):
I know, I know the thing that sucks is when we can't see
the process and we don't knowwhat it is.
This is why we're jumping upand down right now.
We're just like, all right, wetrust you, but seriously, what
the fuck are you doing?
Scott (28:52):
Can you spend some of that?
Money, please yeah, third mostcap A little help here Something
I have to bring up right nowjust because I need to laugh
after talking about my team.
Tp sent me something yesterdayon Instagram and I just sent it
to you.
You want to read everybody thattext I sent you earlier About
(29:16):
has your team signed a freeagent for over $6 million since
2015?
Oh here we go, yeah, and thisis mind boggling dude, and this
is mind-boggling dude.
Graham (29:32):
Has your team signed a free agent over $6 million since
2015?
Yes, of course, and they'recircled, all these teams.
There's only one team in theNFL in the last 10 years that
has it.
And, folks, this is actuallykind of surprising, but when you
think about it you're like, nowthat you think about it, that
(29:52):
kind of does make sense.
Give it up for the GM of theyear, jerry Jones, and the
Dallas Cowboys.
Let's give them a little golfclap.
Scott (30:00):
Thank you, and by all the teams circled that have, that's
31 teams.
Graham (30:08):
Yeah, I'm like 31 teams.
Yeah, I'm like Like, exactly,wow, wow.
Scott (30:16):
The last player the Cowboys signed in free agency
for over $6 million was GregHardy In 2015.
Graham (30:28):
Oh, that is.
Scott (30:35):
I mean speaking of teams signing people that have no
money.
How about the Saints, dude?
They were number 32 in capspace Restructure, Derek Carr,
and now they got the tight end.
Announcer (30:56):
Chase Young Dude they got it all.
Graham (31:02):
I don't know.
Scott (31:03):
Make it, make sense, folks, and I'm just going to go
out there and say the funniestthing I've read on the world
wide web since Sunday is milesGarrett reportedly demanded $40
million a year and a super bowlwinning quarterback to lead the
Browns, and the Browns were likedone, send me Kenny picket,
(31:27):
send me Kenny.
Announcer (31:28):
Pickett, if that doesn't put a smile on your face
.
Scott (31:35):
Bald guys on the bench listeners.
Nothing I will ever say will.
Graham (31:44):
Hey, if he wants, Russell Wilson's also taking a
peek over there too.
Scott (31:57):
We're on the street homeboys in Cleveland right now.
Oh man, your boy that youwanted in Pittsburgh, justin
Fields, dude To the Jets.
Graham (32:05):
You know the dust has settled a little bit on this for
me, after a few days thinking,about it.
Scott (32:15):
You were bitter, betty, I was.
I know you were Because I sentit to you and you sent me the
throw up on your face emoji.
You were not a happy camper, Iknow, and I agree.
The dude hasn't been given agod dang shot With the Bears.
Graham (32:31):
Yes, he played great.
Scott (32:35):
With what he had, with what he had.
Graham (32:38):
Yeah, yeah.
But If you can't make it toyour third progression, that's a
problem.
If you're a top 15 quarterbackin the NFL, you have to make it
to your third progression.
Scott (32:56):
Yeah, you know why he couldn't make it to his third
progression?
Because all the goddamn teamswere playing man-to-man.
He's sitting back there and hegoes.
He's covered.
He's covered.
Guess what I'm going to do?
He gone, I'm going to run.
I don't have to make it to mythird progression If they're
playing me man to man.
Yeah, I get it, Don't have to.
The NFL has changed.
(33:17):
We know that.
Graham (33:19):
Yeah, but Fields isn't throwing anyone open.
Scott (33:24):
He did pretty good through six games for you guys
last year.
No, do you want me to bring uphis?
Graham (33:28):
Uh, he did pretty good for through six games for you
guys last year.
No, yeah, do you want to bringup his stats for those games?
Scott (33:33):
Yeah.
Graham (33:33):
Four to two.
Okay, how many 300 yardthrowing passing games did he
have?
Scott (33:40):
Uh, how many did Jalen Hurts have?
He won the Superbowl yeah.
Graham (33:47):
He also had Saquon Barkley in that defensive line
and one of the top offensivelines in the league too.
I'm just saying you asked 300yards.
Scott (33:58):
I'm just throwing that out there.
You asked 300 yards.
Graham (34:05):
I mean speaking of the.
Scott (34:06):
Steelers dude.
I got to say this becausegrammar police did you see his
text he sent today?
No, he said if Aaron Rodgerssigns with the Steelers, I'm
partying in the streets and I'mgetting Graham a jersey.
Graham (34:23):
No, he says he's getting me a jersey from China.
Oh, I was going to leave thatpart out.
Scott (34:27):
Oh, okay With the little me a jersey from China.
Well, I was going to leave thatpart out.
Oh, okay, with the littlemini-me numbers.
Announcer (34:33):
Yeah, yeah.
Scott (34:34):
Whatever, dude, why are you going to spend $400 on a
jersey when I can get it fromChina for $30?
Graham (34:40):
I don't care how big it is oh, hold on, no, no, no, no,
don't be saying that now becauseyou gave me shit too, so
because you gave me shit too, sodon't say oh, no, no, no, it's
not a big deal, but then when Ido it, you bust my balls about
it.
Scott (34:53):
I gave you shit because I didn't even realize it until
Grammar Police decided he wasgoing to joke on your jersey.
Announcer (34:58):
Yeah.
Scott (34:59):
But then again we joke on Grammar Police because he's a
fan of two teams.
Graham (35:03):
Yeah, I mean hey, it's not doing me any good right now
that $150 Herbert jersey that'ssitting in my closet, that I'm
no longer a season ticket holderfor.
Scott (35:14):
Yeah, so how do you think Fields is going to do for the
Jets?
Graham (35:18):
I like it.
They got pieces.
I mean he's back with GarrettWilson, so that's a plus.
Scott (35:27):
They got a running back.
They actually have two runningbacks.
Graham (35:31):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I mean the threat on offense isthere, it's, can they make it
work?
Type of a situation.
So I mean anything can happen.
I think things will be positive, anything can happen, I think
things will be positive.
The real question is this Doeshe win more games than the just
(35:51):
one last year?
That's the real question.
I would think, yes, I meanthey're making some moves.
They've signed some players Nottoo many noteworthy players.
Well, I mean, obviously JustinFields is the biggest signing
that they had, but I mean, lookto have that offensive firepower
in Brees Hall and have the legsof Fields.
(36:13):
That's dangerous.
You obviously have GarrettWilson, like I mentioned.
They got pieces.
The O-line is pretty good.
It's just the thing with theJets was a lot of their players
got hurt last year.
Yeah, they did.
They lost two offensive linemen.
They lost some of theirdefensive players, Because the
biggest thing for the Jets wastheir defense Right, Was it not
(36:34):
100%?
And when you lost a couple ofkey defensive players, that
makes a huge deal.
So if they can get their piecesback, look they have a really
good chance of can they wineight games?
Scott (36:49):
They could If they won eight games.
If they win eight games thiscoming up season, that's more
games than Aaron Rodgers won intwo seasons with the Jets.
Graham (37:02):
Well, okay, he also I know.
Scott (37:05):
He screwed up his Achilles Just saying Fair, I get
it.
Announcer (37:18):
I get it, just saying .
Graham (37:20):
I don't know.
Yeah, I mean, look, thecraziest part is Fields' biggest
thing was wherever I go, I wantto be the starter and, like
we've talked about, on the showbefore.
Scott (37:31):
Is he really?
Graham (37:32):
going to be the number one.
Scott (37:33):
And, like we've talked about on the show before, he now
gets to go be that guy andguess what?
He doesn't have to look overhis shoulder.
Graham (37:43):
Yeah, but are you telling me the Jets aren't
signing someone?
Or they're not drafting aquarterback.
Scott (37:49):
He's the number one dude.
Graham (37:55):
Okay, let me ask you this question how confident
would you be if Justin Fieldswas your quarterback and not
Herbert?
Scott (38:02):
That's a different story.
We're comparing a Mercedes to aGod dang Kia.
Graham (38:11):
A Kia?
How about a Hyundai?
Scott (38:14):
No, hyundai is way better than a Kia bro.
Graham (38:17):
That's my point.
He's not a Kia, it's more of aHyundai, Not whatever.
I mean not the real niceHyundai like the, not the.
Not the real nice Hyundai, Notthe Genesis.
Scott (38:29):
You know, like the Elantra.
I'm weak.
I'm dead.
I'm weak.
Anyhow, let's go.
This is way too much time spenton the goddang Jets.
I mean, can we talk aboutsomething that I never thought I
would ever see happen?
Besides and that is the Ninerscutting half of their goddang
(38:58):
team and something I neverthought I would ever see happen
I thought the dude would retirebefore it would happen.
Is Kyle Juszczyk?
Is that how you say his name?
Yeah, getting released.
Never thought I'd see thathappen.
Graham (39:16):
And why is that?
It's because each team has thatone player that you're like
that's the team guy, that's thecaptain.
We're going to keep him around,we'll give him less money, but
we're not letting him go type ofsituation.
Scott (39:35):
The dude was a baller.
How many teams use fullbacksanymore?
Exactly, it's dead.
It's a new league.
Not only that, but I alwayslike to bring this up.
Wife's a smoke show, makesjackets.
Taylor Swift is wearing herjacket.
Graham (39:52):
What are you trying to say?
She's hot, no, okay, but whatdoes that have to?
Scott (39:59):
do with Nothing.
It has nothing to do withanything, I'm just pointing out
the obvious.
She's hot Okay.
Graham (40:08):
Oh, a wife of an NFL player is hot Shocker.
Scott (40:11):
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
But dude the Niners, I mean wetalked about it before we even
got on air.
They went all in.
John Lynch Shanahan were likebefore we even got on air they
went all in.
John Lynch Shanahan were likeit's win mode.
(40:32):
Now you said it, they've beenin two Super Bowls in the last
whatever Four or five years.
Yeah, jimmy G as yourquarterback, brock Purdy as your
other quarterback, and remember, jimmy G almost won that game
against the Chiefs.
Graham (40:48):
If he doesn't overthrow Emmanuel Sanders, that's over
the end.
Like he overthrew him by fiveyards.
Well, maybe not five.
Scott (41:00):
It was like three, like about two, three yards.
Didn't they have a huge leadgoing into the fourth?
Graham (41:05):
I don't know if it was a huge lead.
Scott (41:07):
It was two possessions.
Graham (41:09):
Yeah, two possessions yeah, but that would have been
the nail in the coffin.
Scott (41:11):
That's a big lead in the Super Bowl, in the fourth
quarter, two possessions Facts.
But, dude, didn't they go outand they go crazy, let's get
McCaffrey.
You know Jeez Louise, yeah,dude.
Then they go out and they gocrazy, let's get McCaffrey.
You know, geez yeah.
But are we gonna see all thepeople on defense?
Graham (41:32):
Greenlaw and all them like they, trent Williams, all
these guys homeboy gets hurt inthe Super Bowl jumping up and
down.
Scott (41:42):
Yeah, didn't he tear his ACL or whatnot?
I mean it's like yeah, and thenthis past year the injury's
terrible, but Just bad luck forthem this past year.
Graham (41:53):
I mean they were competitive.
I mean they look, they put allthe chips in the middle.
They said we're going all in.
They did.
They had two chances to win itall.
I mean, look what would havehappened if Purdy didn't get
hurt the previous year and theycould have played the Eagles.
Scott (42:12):
No, he got hurt against the Eagles.
Oh yeah, that's right, yeah, sonot In the first quarter, I
think.
Announcer (42:19):
Yeah, and they got a vote, so that's what I'm saying.
Graham (42:20):
It's just like oh Well.
So that's what I'm saying.
It's just like oh Well, dude.
Scott (42:24):
That was an infamous game when Joey Bosa was going to
root for his brother andremember all the Eagles fans
yelling at him and he was like,oh, are you sending this to your
boys on Snapchat?
Speaking of Joey Bosa, dudeChargers released him, saved 25
mil on the cap and just signedhim with the Bills last night.
Graham (42:45):
What was it for?
Like 10, 12, something likethat Not a lot, dude.
Scott (42:49):
Not a lot, yeah, but you know, once again the guy stays
healthy.
He's a menace 100%.
Bills just released Von Miller.
They had to replace him withsomebody, right?
Graham (43:05):
I don't hate it.
Everyone always says the bestskill to have in the NFL is
availability.
If you ain't on the field, itain't helping me.
It ain't helping at all.
Scott (43:19):
So I'm just what else we got.
What else we got?
Oh Hopkins who One of myfavorite got.
Oh Hopkins who, One of myfavorite wide receivers ever
dude, this guy is literally oneof my favorite wide receivers
ever for what he did at Houstonwith the 17,000 quarterbacks
that threw him passes, and hejust signed with the Ravens.
(43:42):
For what Six mil.
Graham (43:48):
I don't even know.
Scott (43:49):
My thing is this.
Announcer (43:50):
I don't even know what to say.
Scott (43:52):
I mean, it's sad.
Graham (43:54):
If you're on a team that has Patrick Mahomes and you
don't get the ball hardly at alltowards the end of the season,
like the first couple games thathe started.
He had decent numbers, he had alot of targets.
Decent, he had a lot of targets, but like the last five games
of the season and then into theplayoffs, like three targets a
(44:17):
game, like what happened.
Scott (44:19):
Yeah, I will say this.
Obviously he's getting olderbut it's got to be hard to get
traded midseason and gosomewhere, like the Chiefs who
have a lot of pieces in placeand now to go be the guy.
(44:41):
Pieces in place and now to gobe the guy.
You know it's gotta be hard,granted that that wasn't the
reason he dropped that ball inthe Superbowl, you know.
But to go to the Ravens, yougot Zay flowers.
He's going to make some catchesdude for the Ravens.
Yeah, I think it is a goodsituation for him.
Announcer (45:07):
No, I agree 100%.
Graham (45:09):
It's a great situation, Especially with I mean, who's
Lamar throwing the ball to?
Scott (45:15):
Yeah, Zay, Mark Andrews.
What's the other tight end'sname?
Likely.
Graham (45:22):
I say likely.
Scott (45:22):
Likely and still.
Graham (45:24):
Wait, I thought Andrews was a free agent.
Is he?
Are they resigning him?
Scott (45:27):
No, he's got one year left.
Oh, that's what I keep waitingfor my charters to do.
Andrews, with Joe Ortiz'shistory with the Ravens Makes
sense.
But, yeah, yeah, but I like it.
I like him going there.
He doesn't have to be the man,right, you know, it's not the
(45:52):
pressure of the trade midseasonwhere you're supposed to go into
the Chiefs and be the man.
Graham (45:59):
Yeah, but I mean.
Scott (46:00):
We all saw Xavier Worthy be the man at the beginning of
the season and then, as theseason progressed, became the
man.
Graham (46:12):
Oh, 100%, you know.
But Well, when you have hisspeed I mean it helps.
Yeah, it don't hurt thingsright, like, let's be real.
Yeah, the only thing I'll sayabout the Hopkins is this Were
you that impressed with what hedid at Tennessee the full year
he was there Previous?
Scott (46:31):
Who's throwing him the ball?
Graham (46:33):
That's well.
I mean, like I get that.
But look, I know my comment tothat would be you're still an
NFL quarterback.
You have to be good Like youcan get the ball to your star
wide receiver.
Like that's the only thing Iwould say to that I'm trying to
think of some asshat quarterbackyeah, you're trying to poke
(46:55):
holes in my theory like I can'tstarting quarterback, not backup
, not backup starting.
Scott (47:04):
Anyhow.
Anyhow a couple of things thatI'd be depressed if I didn't
bring up in the show tonight.
Number one Ovechkin.
Nine goals away from breakingWayne Gretzky's record, yeah,
and the saddest news of the weektiger woods.
(47:27):
Oh bro, brutal.
When I saw that I was just likecome on, man dude the worst
part about it was I did.
Graham (47:41):
I mean, obviously you're upset because of you know the
mat, you know he was ramping upfor possibly playing in the
masters and you know all theother events, but like it didn't
even dawn on me, bro, he can'teven do the tgl.
Obviously he's done.
I don't want to say it's thesign sealed and delivered, but
we're at a point now where it'sjust like I don't want to say,
(48:07):
if he comes back, but the onlything he would do when he
recovers is TGL, because there'sno walking at all, like playing
on the seniors tour, maybe ifhe wants to do that, or possibly
(48:29):
if he gets an exemption Wait,can you get exemptions into
majors?
Scott (48:35):
Well, he's exempt for the Masters for life.
Well, yeah, and the Britishbasically for life, but normally
people are done when they're 65.
Yeah, I don't know.
I think the US opens 10 years.
Yeah, I don't know the PGA.
But my golf committee chairmantexted me last night and he was
(49:00):
like dude, doesn't it suck forTiger?
I'm like dude, it's brutal melast night and he's like dude,
doesn't it suck for tiger?
I'm like dude, it's brutal.
You know he goes now.
He's got two bad legs.
I think he's done playinganything on the tour.
Maybe the champions tour nextyear when he can ride.
And I said what you and Ialways say I'm like, yep, play
champions, ride, get intournament and play in the
(49:23):
majors.
And John was like I'd besurprised if he was able to walk
72 holes.
Graham (49:33):
He's got two bad legs now I just, I'm just not ready
to let go, dude.
Scott (49:42):
You have been to Augusta, I've been to Augusta.
You know how hilly that goddamnplace is.
You know how many crazy liesyou get on that golf course.
Graham (49:54):
Uphill, downhill, side hill, that puts a lot of
pressure on what your knees,your legs, ankles everything.
Can he walk with a cane?
Is that allowed?
Scott (50:10):
I'm sure, but he ain't doing that, I'm just saying I
know I was like, even though I'mnot going to Augusta this year,
I'm still bummed for all thepatrons that were looking
forward to it, just to even ifhe misses the cut.
Dude, if he misses cut to seetiger, like last year when I
(50:31):
went.
I got there on Sunday.
I went to the practice round onMonday.
I literally you know how thatwalk and going into the place,
the practice facility on yourleft, the first person I saw on
the practice facility was Tigerhitting bunker shots.
Graham (50:53):
How many people do you think were standing right there?
A thousand Times ten, I'm justsaying just in that little spot.
Scott (51:02):
Just to see Tiger there.
You know, I just got goosebumpsthinking about it.
It sucks, bro.
It sucks.
I don't care.
I don't care if he goes outthere to Augusta and shoots
80-80 and misses a cut.
Whatever, you're watching Tigerat Augusta.
Graham (51:23):
Bro, I'm going to say something that makes me want to
vomit.
In 10 years, tiger's going tobe one of the opening ceremony
guys.
It might be longer than that.
To tee off, it might be longer.
Well, in 10 years, the threeguys that are still alive.
You're not telling me who'sgoing to be the ceremonial guys,
(51:47):
because Nicholas will probablybe dead in 10 years.
Gary Player will definitely bedead in 10 years.
Scott (51:53):
Who is it now?
It's Gary Jack, and is itWatson?
Graham (52:01):
Yeah, and Watson, yeah, yeah, I mean, all those guys are
mid-70s and up.
Scott (52:07):
Most of the guys stop playing, like the British and
Augusta, when they're around 65.
Announcer (52:15):
Yeah.
Graham (52:18):
Hard to say I mean, if there's any course, tigers would
still have a chance.
The older he gets, it would beAugusta, just because he knows
it so well and that's whereyou're wrong, MF-er.
Tory Nope.
Scott (52:38):
You're forgetting about the flattest course of all of
them.
Announcer (52:43):
Oh well, when.
Scott (52:46):
Come on.
Oh well, where Come on?
I'm waiting.
To quote Caddyshack JudgeSmiles.
Well, we're waiting.
Graham (52:56):
I just slapped myself.
Just hit me with it.
St Andrews.
Announcer (53:00):
All right, there you go.
Graham (53:02):
Yeah, but they only do it there.
What is it Five?
They don't do it.
Do it there.
What is it every Five?
Scott (53:05):
They don't do it every five, Like how is it Every how
many years it's?
Graham (53:07):
five, yeah, and they just did it Two years ago.
Scott (53:14):
Yeah, when Cam Smith won.
Graham (53:18):
So that was at least yeah.
Announcer (53:19):
Two Well, yeah, so he could do it.
Yeah, yeah.
Scott (53:22):
Hmm, it's a flat golf course.
Alright, yeah, but yeah, so hecould do it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hmm, it's a flat golf course.
All right, yeah, but you know,it sucks regardless, that's all.
Graham (53:34):
I mean, dude, the worst part was after it happened is
just when you see Jack Nicholasmake a comment, he's like well,
that's locked up now.
Yeah, he didn't catch it.
Scott (53:42):
I mean, like I get that he didn't catch it.
It was signed, sealed deliveredI mean like I get that.
Jack said that before this.
Graham (53:49):
No, I know, but I'm just saying like, yeah, it sucks.
A he's still number two in mybook.
I don't give a shit.
A that's an argument, but Imean, you could go either way, I
don't disagree or agree.
Scott (54:05):
I'm just going to say yes .
Graham (54:08):
Yeah, I mean we've had episodes where we've talked
about it in the past.
We don't need to get into itbecause now it's just like now I
feel like debating it, but I'mlike, no, we don't need to get
into that.
It's just, it's sad, especiallybecause now he's almost 50.
And then like dude recoveringsad especially because now he's
(54:30):
almost 50.
And then like dude, recoveringfrom a major injury at 50 is not
easy folks, and then to recoverand still be an athlete after
that, it's like sheesh but we'realmost an hour into this
episode.
