the way tire buying should be. Man, they're really pushing

(01:41):
flag football. I told you, man, so I said it
in like a recent show all weekend long. It was
been a big push.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yeah, they're trying to kill off the real football.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
I mean, that's that's what it looks like because the biggest,
the best way. I'm not going to say they're trying
to kill it off, but imagine this, just for two seconds.
Imagine this that flag football actually becomes one of the
fastest growing sports, like in all of sports and entertainment.

(02:14):
Imagine that because.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Now I don't find it entertaining at all though.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
But I mean apparently they think that enough people do,
and I think that what they're trying to do because
at some point you're going to hit a bubble with
the National Football League football, with tackle football, you're going
to hit a bubble. So you're trying to find a
different audience to tap into because there are certain audiences

(02:39):
that could care less about football, and most of them
are women. So now you open up the sport as
a nationally covered sport, a sport that has the same
type of I guess they create storylines that make it
as intriguing as tackle and you're able to implement women

(03:00):
into the scenario at a high level. To me, that's
the key. That's the safety aspect of it, and I
don't want to want when men play flag flo I
can dig it.

Speaker 5 (03:10):
It starts there, and I'm not going to watch anyone
else play.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
It now, hold on because I thought it's on TV
for a reason.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Though there's nothing else to put on TV right now.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
I get it. But I thought I thought that Dublin,
Ohio was sort of the ground zero for flag football.

Speaker 5 (03:28):
That's like, we have tackle football in Dublin. Let's has
change starting in the third grade. Yeah, how about that
starting the third grade? As I would actually argue that
it's better to teach kids a young age is good
technique than to say, well, let's just push it off

(03:49):
until they're in junior high.

Speaker 6 (03:52):
One.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
They're bigger, stronger, faster, more dangerous. It's so it's more dangerous.

Speaker 5 (03:57):
The other aspect to it is if that's their first
introduction into hitting, you can have a couple of bad
experiences and be done with it. I don't I don't
want to play this sport when you're young. Yeah, you'll
have some bad experiences, you know. You'll get gat there's
a few times you'll get tagged, and you'll tag some
other people too, but you're not big enough really to
inflict much pain on anyone or get hurt and can't

(04:19):
move fast enough. But the general point is when you're
taught better technique when you're young, it translates to the
rest of your life, so you're not getting injured, You're
not you know, putting yourself in a compromised position later on.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
And that's why I think the whole idea.

Speaker 5 (04:36):
Behind all you know, it's just not safe at a
younger ages, Like that's not true, and you know there's
different sports where you have all sorts of you know things.
You know, kids play soccer at young ages. It's someone
will say, well, they try to outlaw headers and stuff.
It's like, well, that's still a part of soccer at times.
There's been a decent amount of concussions that I've come
from that, or at least that's what they claim.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
It's wanted. A high is concussion sports is women's soccer right.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
Well, and obviously here so they've looped men's into that
for this reason, right, it's because women don't have as
many contact sports, so that's why you always hear that, well,
women's soccer is how concussions like, Well, yeah, comparatively speaking.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
Look at men's lacrosse. Women's lacrosse.

Speaker 5 (05:19):
Women you can't hit, you can't touch them. They just
got to shadow them. Men will like, whack you we
had blindsided knocked out. You know, it's two different things,
so that that gets thrown around a decent amount, but
it's really for both. It's just soccer in general, you know.
That's why they're trying to limit sometimes the headers and
stuff and all that. I just I can't stand it.
I can't stand because it's not the same sport. They

(05:43):
don't call football.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
It's called flag.

Speaker 5 (05:46):
Don't involve the game of football just because you put
a football in the guy's hands and all that.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
That's not football.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
All right. So little calv comes up to you ten
years old, Yeah, I don't want to play flag football.
That's what That's the choice.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
You seem to be missing is he's already playing tackle football.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
So my son's not gonna come up and go, Dad,
I want to play flag. He's gonna be like, hey, dad,
what does football start to get? You know?

Speaker 4 (06:09):
So, how how early are you going to have them
in tackle football third grade. I mean, my son's three,
he's already doing bowl in the ring. No, we're yeah,
we're doing it twice. Yeah, you're not doing Have the
neighbors come around, you take a number, come get this work.

Speaker 5 (06:26):
I feel like given the in laws and all that,
that might be in a different term.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
For what that's You know, that's a great point. Well done. Yeah,
I've got a I've got a hold. I've got to
hold a red sheet in front of me. Else very interesting. Yeah,
well listen, now they're doing everything they can. It's it's
flag football and it's the w n B. A. ESPN
is doing everything they possibly can to push both, which.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
Is not surprising.

Speaker 5 (06:53):
But can you imagine just sitting down, want to grab
a beer, Hey, like saying to the boys, Hey, guys, let's.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
Let's go watch some flag Let's go watch some flag football.
Get out of here. Wants that.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
I mean, it's interesting the NFL never got behind lingerie football.
I thought that was that was a big opportunity.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
You thought the NFL is good full.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
No, hell no. But but what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (07:18):
But what I'm saying imagine that we're really excited about
the growth the.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
Football. They be out there.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
Guys are so excited they can't even stand up.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
I bet you guys were watching that Bowl. I bet
you guys were watching them. They were watching that game.
But here's here's what I'm gonna say, though, I'm gonna
go back. I'm gonna go back to the beginning of
my point. They believe that it is a safer sport,
it's a safer environment for people to participate in, and

(07:51):
it's something that it's not as complex to learn, so
it can become global. And and the proof of that
is is that they were able to get this. That
was the NFL behind making flag football of an Olympic
sport that it became. It's become an Olympic sport. So

(08:11):
with that being considered, they're looking at the growth opportunities
of flag football. And I get where you're coming from
because I kind of have the same type of thought process.
But there are a lot of guys out there, a
ton of former pros that they swear by flag.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
They swear by it.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
I'm not letting my kid play until he's like thirteen,
fourteen years old, based upon whatever their experiences are, their
understanding of what the you know, the physical setbacks of
playing out an early age have been There are a
lot of people that subscribe to alternative ways of playing football,

(08:52):
and Flag has been that.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
All right. So for Pop Warner, say seven eight year
old kids, I mean, how how often are they really banging?

Speaker 3 (09:04):
Have you ever watched this?

Speaker 5 (09:07):
It's not physical And that's the whole point people who
try to make a case.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
For like, well, what I was, you know, I remember
I was seven years old. I just its like, no,
you didn't.

Speaker 5 (09:15):
I'll say the first concussion I ever had a Fisher
Price little car like the foot Stones car you move
with your.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
Feet, remember that story.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
My sister used to get.

Speaker 5 (09:24):
In the bottom of the thing and I would lay
on the top roof of it, and she would like
pedal me around and we'd like she take me around
the bottom of her basement because we didn't have a
finished basement.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
And I'll never forget she got out of that thing
one time.

Speaker 5 (09:35):
I was still on top and as you can imagine,
it flipped back because of all the weight was off,
kind of like the back.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
Top of it. Slam My head on the on the
you know concrete, you know, knocked out.

Speaker 5 (09:45):
Parents picked me up. I was thrown up in all
that how to go to the hospital. That was the
first concussion I had and it had nothing to do
with football. I probably didn't experience anything close to a
concussion of football until high school.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
I started playing at eight and the there I will
say this, there's generally always one dude out there that
can f everybody up. There's generally one.

Speaker 4 (10:08):
Yeah, there's always a kid that there's always that.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
One that he just he just he can just he
can thump you, you know. And I happened to be him.

Speaker 4 (10:20):
Really wasn't.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
I played for shots out the Homewood, the termites when
I went to THEES. Yeah, the mighty Mites. The smaller
team was THEES. And let me tell you something.

Speaker 4 (10:32):
Nobody uses termite Pennsylvania.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yeah, we get termites. It's more like the water some termites.
We were the termites, That's what we were. And we
was jacking people up that you know, if they called
the big team showtime, because by the time you got
to that, if you was able to make it through
the Homewood you football league and make it up to
the to the big team, it was a show.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
Not to get off on a tangent.

Speaker 5 (11:00):
I'm just you know, my wife's over in Paris for
the Olympics, and she's describing to me, like the stuff
they'll have to do, Like it's just it's so different
than a professional sports team, Like the stuff there's people
that will have to do that are in like certain
positions where you're.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
Like, wait, what, like you're doing that? Why are you
doing that? Driver?

Speaker 5 (11:23):
Some of us like, she's gonna be driving some van,
but she's not a good driver. She's gonna be driving
some van with like our coaches at our Olympic gymnast
in it, and she's in a foreign country and she's
not a good driver.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
This is not a good situation.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
We don't have a higher driver.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
I'm like, what do you mean, Like they don't have
funding for this. This is unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
Pay for that write off? Okay, what would that cost
them to have a driver for the Olympic team in
Paris for two weeks? What do you think it would
cost him than dollars more than okay, two? They don't
have two thousand dollars lying around At the Olympics. They
got enough money to buy forty five thousand condoms to

(12:09):
hand out to everybody.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
They didn't hand out contract to everybody. They definitely did.

Speaker 4 (12:13):
Doesn't make sense.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
They was probably donated those rubbers. But but you know what,
why not have donated drivers? I don't get that. What
you want to be able to say, I drove around and.

Speaker 4 (12:26):
All those like Crady's point, you're in a foreign country.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
Yeah, isn't the steering wheel on the other side, what's happening.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
Like this is a hard time backing out of the
garage on.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
The right side, on the right side of Yeah. Yeah,
well that's interesting.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
I'm just like what.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
I would be concerned. I would genuinely be concerned. Yeah,
as I am right now. I'm a concern for all involved. Yeah,
there's a lot going on there. Imagine if that story
surface that they weren't able to compete, like like the
golf what was that the golf one where what the
carts got into a wreck or something like that?

Speaker 4 (13:06):
What was that I was racing? That was a race?
That was race.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
I'm sorry that you remember. It was one hundred meters.
It was like the finals or semi finals that was
taking place, and and the carts coming down to to
the is like this, Oh yeah, took somebody out right,
they like wrecked and and it like had like the
main competitors.

Speaker 4 (13:28):
Yeah, somebody got hurt.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yeah, I mean they still ended up going, but I
mean they wrecked. Imagine that, like you gave yep, half
of the gymnast they came, you know they.

Speaker 5 (13:43):
I'm just confirming that, like the livelihood of our women's
gymnastics Olympic team.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
Is in your wife hands driving, which yeah, god bless,
oh my god, she was confirmed.

Speaker 4 (13:54):
Good luck.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
I think we should say a prayer, do something. This
isn't good.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
All right here? You all ready b the car about her?

Speaker 3 (14:04):
And that's the other thing is she's tiny.

Speaker 4 (14:05):
Here we go, so are we not likedent?

Speaker 3 (14:11):
Pray for what? Hell?

Speaker 4 (14:16):
Pray Prie is driving? To stop? Praya is madness that's
going to take place with her driving that bad?

Speaker 3 (14:26):
What?

Speaker 4 (14:26):
Right? What a bunch of cheap skates?

Speaker 3 (14:30):
Right?

Speaker 4 (14:30):
Bye? Ba Hey, listen, a driver is going to be
like one hundred and fifty bucks a day. Not happening.
I just have Alicia do it. We'll be fine, Okay.
I mean is she getting paid for that? I mean,
could she at least get what the driver wages is
going to be or at least a portion of that?

Speaker 3 (14:47):
Probably not?

Speaker 4 (14:50):
Well, Listen if.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
You were learning I got I got a car insurance.

Speaker 4 (14:55):
By the way, let me tell you something that's the
most in depth Olympic coverage you're ever gonna get any
of that. I mean, that's that's the real story. Yeah,
that's a real story of the Olympics.

Speaker 3 (15:05):
Whatever.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
Who cares.

Speaker 5 (15:06):
I feel like everyone's listening, shaing up this early with us,
your family. That's truth, but shames Shirley's detailed secrets.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Maybe she'll call back and be like, thanks, babe, they
got us a driver a bunch of cheap asses.

Speaker 3 (15:18):
Yeah I have. Kayla Clark Collins seems to get stuffed done.

Speaker 4 (15:23):
It is no doubt about that. Uh. Coming up next

which is the FSR IR. We're going to report any issues, injuries, ailments.
Maybe we'll get to the bottom of what the hell
happened to Lee's arm started bleeding.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
That's just one part of it. Yeah, they there's a
little bit more to that story. You got that black
dip going dang uh bandit?

Ain't nothing change one thing about that.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
We if we if we live longer than we we'll

Speaker 4 (17:14):
If you're like Lee, well he lived hard. There's a comet,
you know.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
And if you don't live as hard as Lee, just
visit blue schoo dot com.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
He's gonna burn bright hide in the sky.

Speaker 4 (17:27):
He's gonna flame out, flame right on that burning burning
so much. He doesn't even know why he's bleeding. That's crazy.
How you not gonna know why you bleed it? I
didn't even know he was bleeding. Loreno spotted it. It
was a lot too. It was like almost dripping. I

(17:50):
mean no, like, no idea how that happened. Like that
can't be a bug bite. Come on, man, that's typical
man on the elbows. Yeah, just i'd be swinging. I
don't know what's going on. The mosquitoes aren't carrying revolvers
like you. Pouring blood is not from a mosquito bite.
That can't be a bug bite. Like you must have

(18:10):
done something like hit it on something, or I can
draw you a picture of what it looked like. It's
great for raiding. Yeah, I don't think that does anybody anything. Yeah, Yeah,
that doesn't do what that's great for raiding.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Malfunction, that doesn't do anyway, does anything, abort, late, abort.

Speaker 4 (18:37):
Ain't nothing? Has that changed? All right? Well, listen, we
will get to the bottom of that here coming up
in about twenty minutes now. From the tire rag dot
com st malfunction, we could have ourselves a malfunction this year,

(18:58):
and that is the New York Giants, who are set
up to be probably not very good, potentially last place
in the NFC East. But the good news is Daniel
Jones said over the weekend that he should be ready
to go full go for camp. So it looks like
he's going to be there and ready to rock for
the New York Giants as they get ready for the

(19:18):
upcoming season.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
Yeah, that's that's that's the topic. We should probably spend
some time.

Speaker 4 (19:24):
Great and exciting news, all right, all right, So this
is what I was thinking.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
What you think is he in?

Speaker 4 (19:32):
Is he in one of the worst spots from a
starting quarterback standpoint in the NFL? Because nobody there did
you really just.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
Asked that question?

Speaker 4 (19:39):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (19:40):
Okay, let me ask you this though. Is that going
to answer your question with a question? Okay?

Speaker 5 (19:44):
Right, maybe who's in a worse Maybe who's in a
worse spot the Daniel Jones, Well, there's one quarterback that
is going into this season.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
Is it a worse spot?

Speaker 4 (19:56):
Let me ask you this, I'll answer. I'll ask your
question with a question. I'll raise you with a question.
I'll raise you a question here. Is there another quarterback
in the NFL who knows going into the season that
they're a dead man walking, nobody wants me here and
it all played out in a.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
Reality show and is going to be your Achilles tendon?
Your hell you're going to play the heill because.

Speaker 4 (20:27):
Your coach says I would trade up for a quarterback
if that's in the same division as you. The organization
basically is regretting the fact that they gave you the
deal that they gave you. You're coming off a serious injury,
another one to cut your season short last year. It

(20:48):
just feels like the heartbeat and the engine of your offense.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
Though. He's not in a good spot, right, so.

Speaker 4 (20:58):
Then how does he go into the season just like, Hey.

Speaker 5 (21:00):
I'll just paid forty million dollars Jonas. I'm pretty sure
a lot of people would take on something like that.
If you're you're making that sort of cash.

Speaker 4 (21:09):
Well, listen, I don't really worry about other people's wallet.
To be honest with you, I'm not a pocket watcher.
That's not I mean some people are. That's cross. You're
a crouch watch, You're a gazer. I know that crouch gazer.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
You should do gaze.

Speaker 4 (21:24):
Gazer.

Speaker 5 (21:26):
There's no one else that I know that will give
you a quicker compliment at the Jurdal about your watching.

Speaker 4 (21:30):
Right anytime nomage driving watch watching around Jonahs.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
Just the likelihood that we happen to go to the
bathroom the same time.

Speaker 4 (21:41):
Brady's like, hey man, your thumb's got a leak. I
was like, oh, sorry about that. I know what happened there.
Just had a little little issue going on there. But
forget about Peter Gaze. Forget about mister Peter Gaze. Uh,
Daniel Jones is in a terrible geezer.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
There's just not a lot of meat on this pone.

Speaker 4 (21:59):
What do you want from me? Like, I'm crying here
the topic? Okay, let's let's do it here. What have
we got here? Last hour much the w n B
A the USA to talk about blues and the effects. Okay,
you want to hear Matt Ebraflus, all right, here, I
got something for you. All right, let's keep it in

(22:20):
the NFC, all right, you want to hear from Matti Eberflus.
By the way, what has anybody ever noticed Matt Ebflues
this offseason changed his hairstyle looks a lot better. That
looks like somebody who's saying, you know what if things
go bad here, I just want you to know I
can represent a team as a head coach or it
could be a hair model. Matt Ebraflu spoke over the

(22:42):
weekend after the Bears first training camp practice and just
sort of discussed what went into his decision with not
having any sort of a quarterback competition, just leaving the
ball in Caleb William's hand to start the season.

Speaker 8 (22:55):
You know, for me, it's just believe it in Caleb,
you know, putting them in there and let's go. You know,
I think that the expectation is in him to be
the starter. He is the starter when he drafted him,
and that's where he put him in and put him
in the position to be that, and we're going to
do it great job of supporting him to get him
ready for.

Speaker 4 (23:10):
The first game and also if he's not the guy,
Eberflus has probably gone. Yeah, so somebody else has gone
to bride a GM.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
He does have a new haircut.

Speaker 4 (23:21):
Yeah, he does looks good this out.

Speaker 3 (23:23):
Sorry I abstracted it looks good.

Speaker 4 (23:25):
I'm telling you man, it's yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
Yeah, it's a nice fade.

Speaker 4 (23:30):
Got well a little bit more volume to it too.

Speaker 5 (23:33):
Yeah he elevated the Yeah, not so much a quaff,
but he's got it's a good part.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
Yeah. Solid.

Speaker 4 (23:41):
So mattylus prepared to be on camera more is what
he's prepared for us? Yeah, well, I mean they've got
the Hall of Fame game coming up in week and
a half, you know, first first game, first NFL game
of the season. And by the way, for people that
want to dismiss it and just say, well it's a
preseason game, screw you. It's better than any of the
other crap that's on right now.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
Games. I saw the notes.

Speaker 5 (24:00):
Someone thinks it's gonna be high rich than an NBA
playoff game.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
I do.

Speaker 4 (24:03):
I want to see the ratings. I want to see
the ratings for the Hall.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
Of Fame game. Bear what channels the Hall of Fame game?

Speaker 4 (24:10):
I think it's is it NBC? I think it is.

Speaker 3 (24:13):
Is it?

Speaker 4 (24:15):
Usually it's on NBC network, Maybe it's on LEA. Do
we have confirmation on that, or it'll be on ESPN, ABC.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
Okay, okay.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
Do you think that the first preseason game will cost,
by the way, will outrate an NBA playoff game? Because
I think what.

Speaker 3 (24:36):
Were the NBA playoff games? Don't NBA Finals or any playoff.

Speaker 4 (24:39):
Games up until Conference finals before? I can't. I can't
imagine it would out rate an NBA final. If it does,
the NBA has got a problem. But I can't imagine.

Speaker 5 (24:50):
Finals had an average of eleven point three million viewers.
I don't think it's it's over, it's it's doing better
than that.

Speaker 4 (24:55):
Okay, well you're a TV star. What you guess what's the.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
I'm trying to find you the numbers.

Speaker 5 (25:02):
Okay, I know Lee's probably diving into this, but uh
hold on, what's Lee doing?

Speaker 4 (25:13):
Look at this is the picture from Lee and a picnic.

Speaker 5 (25:18):
Through through the conference finals, the NBA posts an average
viewership of four million.

Speaker 4 (25:25):
And last year the Hall of Fame game did six
point three million. There you go, all right, it might
come close. That was on NBC. Might it might be
eight nine? Yeah, I can't imagine it would do they
get a hit a lot kind of, But just think
about that Hall of Fame game, a preseason game, which
who is want to see Caleb play? What was the

(25:45):
Hall of Fame game last year?

Speaker 3 (25:47):
Damn?

Speaker 4 (25:48):
Who was it? Because it's usually the team that has
somebody that's being represented in the Hall of Fame?

Speaker 3 (25:56):
God?

Speaker 4 (25:56):
Who the hell wasn't last it was the Jets and
the Browns last year? Okay, that's right? I mean, oh
yeah it was a Brady quinnbole I really.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
But yeah, they obviously had the Jets and Browns.

Speaker 4 (26:06):
Yeah, because uh, because Joe Thomas was going in last year,
that's right. Yeah, so if it if it comes close
to beating what was going on from the Jets. Uh yeah,
who did going for the Jets last year? Not not
Kevin ma? Why not very many?

Speaker 3 (26:27):
Was it? No? Right? No? Not last year? Draft classes?
Joe Thomas? Was it last year?

Speaker 4 (26:38):
Maybe it was? Yeah? And there was somebody else from
the Jets that went in Lee's right, was it Joe Cleco?
Joe Cleco went in? All right, we don't have to
stay on it. Yeah, well whatever, oh yeah it was.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
Joe were same draft class.

Speaker 4 (26:56):
So that's uh, we're going to get now. I do
wonder because they did say that they're going to follow
a similar path to what other teams have done with
their young quarterbacks, or they're going to play forty five
to fifty five snaps in and around, in and around
that range in the preseason. Is CJ. Stroud past the
point of getting reps in the preseason?

Speaker 5 (27:17):
Yes, I would bubble wrap him, just get him this season.
So there's where we are start being honest, like if
you want to let him go out there and throw
a little bit, but it's just not worth the risk.
They're in a really good position from a quarterback standpoint,
because I think what Davis Mills is still their backup.
He can go out and show out, but just prepare
him to potentially be ready if anything happens.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
But I think based on what he did last year, yeah,
there's there's no need to risk.

Speaker 4 (27:45):
Davis Mills still their backup. I play my guys, I
play them. I don't know how much that played.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
So okay, let's let's go through the hypothetical. Then, coach
coach Arrington, you played c J.

Speaker 5 (27:55):
Sprout today and he got hurt in what some would
defined as a meaningless preseason game, how can you explain
a coach.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
My pushback would be, if it's meaningless, then take that
up with the commissioner of the league.

Speaker 4 (28:07):
But as a coach, I have to coach.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
That's skirt around it.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
Yeah, I have to coach my team, and I have
to prepare my team to be be prepared and getting
good reps, meaningful reps against a different outfit than us
in practice.

Speaker 5 (28:21):
Coach, we just talked to Roger Goodell. Rogers said, it's
actually on the discretion of the head coach as far
as who plays and who doesn't. There's no mandate here, sir.
We'll be coming on that.

Speaker 4 (28:29):
Well, here's what I would say to that.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Okay, as long as I am the coach of this
team and I have to prepare my team to be
prepared for the season, we may get knocked down, but
one thing we will do is we will bite your
kneecaps on the way back up.

Speaker 5 (28:46):
That aside from biting kneecaps, you're over under. When lost
total went from nine and a half now down to
four and a half, given that CJ struggle be out
for the season, can you give us.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
A I thought of that sure, Aaron Rodgers went out
after four plays. Yeah, it could happen at any point
in time. That was his moment in time to get hurt.
And we're going to rehab them and we're going to
do what we need to do and get CJ.

Speaker 4 (29:16):
Back in as soon as we possibly can. Coach. Yeah,
Jonas from the Dublin Kaufman Newsletter's not a thing, all right?
Is this a fireball offense? You know, if I'm getting
fired for.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
Preparing my team to play the season, then that's something
that's a bridge I'll have to cross when I get there.

Speaker 4 (29:40):
Jonas, coach appreciate.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
I have to get one more question for you.

Speaker 5 (29:44):
There's actually a bonus with your contract for how many
games you win, and it's tied to your quarterback and
all that was there a thought maybe just sitting him
to make sure he gets the season healthy so you
could get that bonus as well.

Speaker 4 (29:55):
No, I really don't tend to think about money, you know.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
I tend to think about what's best for my guys,
and what's best for our team, and what's best for
our fans, because our fan base truly deserves to have
a winning product out there on the field.

Speaker 3 (30:09):
Hey, coach. Speaking of money, you owe me a thousand
dollars on a bet you lost. Would you like to
pay him? Right now?

Speaker 4 (30:13):
What's the bet?

Speaker 3 (30:15):
No, this is a while back.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
What is it?

Speaker 3 (30:18):
I can't quite quite recall. But you don't care about money,
so you're good about it, right?

Speaker 4 (30:21):
Yeah? I mean if I owe you from a bet,
I always pay my debt. You know, I appreciate the question.
I appreciate it. Brady tell the family. I said, hey, man,
you know, well, hey, we'll see, we'll see what would
be interesting to see. I wouldn't play them much.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
I mean, you know, you get them one first game out,
you probably get them like one, one or two series.
I think that that makes sense, just so he could
have something on film.

Speaker 4 (30:55):
The preseason was the final preseason game when Rex Ryan
had Mark Sanchez is out and he got blasted and got.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
The fourth one.

Speaker 4 (31:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (31:03):
Yeah, that's how I actually got the Jets. It was
literally that injury was.

Speaker 4 (31:07):
Because Mark Sanchez bet in the fourth preseason game.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
Yes, that is how I got to the Jets that year.

Speaker 4 (31:13):
What the hell?

Speaker 3 (31:14):
Yeah, I mean that is how I got there.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
I certainly would have I mean, if you're a coach,
you're certainly going to have the conversation with your your
quarterback to stay out of harm's way, Like I'm not
running you know, naked boot legs or or you know
RPOs and you keep the ball and and and try
to get some yards like bro like.

Speaker 4 (31:40):
But are you benefiting in all from those reps if
it's not anything close.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
To your passing tree the time in between your quarterback
and your receivers love a good passing tree. I mean,
I think I think you can. There's benefits to going
out there. I mean, you don't you know, I think so.

Speaker 4 (31:59):
I think so.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
If I'm gonna be scared in the preseason, then I'm
probably going to be scared in the regular season. I
don't want to be scared of playing my guys. They
are grown ass men, by the way. I mean, we
were just talking about flag. I mean, we could your
hats off, well, we could just take their pets off
and put them in flag so that we can just
keep them in there for a longer part of the game.

Speaker 4 (32:22):
Longer portion of the game.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
I mean, you're probably not risking any injury at that
point in time because they're just grabbing flags off of
the players.

Speaker 4 (32:29):
You know, at the point you're saying, I mean or flag.

he was watching a movie with. All right, so well,
actually I did go see it with Todd, but also
with Iowa Sam.

Speaker 4 (35:08):
Oh wow, all right, because Sam was pretty judgmental about
the Tornado movie because he's been in real tornadoes and
he's a little bit douchey about it. He is is
a bit, but you know, I hope i Aowa Sam
gets sucked up in a tornado. So here's my ir side.

get some provisions after the movie and we get to
my place.
