157
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:28.240
you were sitting. Tell me I
was, but wow, Parish Mark takes

158
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:31.279
the lead with four to go.
Everybody's still mathematically in this, but he

Tom calla Sera and Sauce just one
back with two, and then Hawk and

168
00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:45.720

one, and if Parish is off, I can sneak that one by him

172
00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:21.279
all day long. But he was
waiting for it today. He didn't fall

173
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:25.319
forward today. Who all right?
That mathematically eliminates talking Marning, But keep

174
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:30.839
playing. Here we go. Tom
needs the last sauce. You need the

175
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:33.039
last two to force a tie.
One of the two of you has to

176
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:37.839
run the table. Parish going for
the win. Everybody else trying to help

181
00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:26.480
The whole group was sick. Those
were great. You guys were awesome.

182
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:30.279
All right, Mark locks up win
number forty five. But just here's

183
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:36.000
number twelve of NT Clue number one
can come in a variety of colors.

184
00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:52.359
Clue number two often appear at conferences
or events. Marnie ye name tag Mars.

185
00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:56.599
That was freaking good too. Parrish
got four. Everybody else got to

186
00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:03.920
you guys. Job. That was
fun. Corey. I liked those initials.

187
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:07.599
It's rare when all people were impressive. Yeah that was great. Only

188
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:11.079
somebody is bad, but all five
of you were sick. That was outstanding,

189
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:15.759
even you, I mean you games
in history ever I had to it

190
00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:18.799
cannot have happened very often for everybody
across the bordes. I don't know.

191
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:22.160
It's a good point, multiple correct
an all five get on the board,

192
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:25.400
that's a good point. Somebody listening
is going to their spreadsheet right now.

193
00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:30.599
Well all over that probably there was
somebody got you think that can clue that

194
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:34.640
native tongue? Native tongue? That
was great. That was my mind.

195
00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:38.480
Made a couple more of those.
But that yea one in the middle like

196
00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:44.079
that too, where I was like, wow, well when you have a

197
00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:49.400
kid that had oh nose tackle maybe
Yeah, that was That was a patch

198
00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:52.720
by me. Yeah, I was. I was very exciting to get that

199
00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:56.200
with all these football mines in here. Yeah, that was good. That

200
00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:00.079
was good. Market sounds like we're
just a couple of weeks away from having

201
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:06.359
you read a sponsor read but not
today body today. But I'm excited to

202
00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:11.319
have them back. Yeah, in
the glory is that right? Yes?

203
00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:17.319
All right, man? That was
I was. That was. I still

204
00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:21.279
can't believe how how long it took
us to get Nickel a tesla like that.

205
00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:26.160
That that that was said five minute
instant replay, and I still was

206
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:36.319
going dictated nothing nothing, man.
I actually had Nashville, Tennessee written down.

207
00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:38.319
That and night Train the only two
things I wrote down. And as

208
00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:41.000
soon as you said predators, I
was like, oh, here it is.

209
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:48.240
And on the second clue, Marns, I also, oddly enough had

210
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:51.240
night Train. I was sitting on
that one too. Real. Yeah,

211
00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:56.960
we were a lot of yeah,
man, Mars between Tuesday and last night.

212
00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:00.680
Was it worth coming in twice this
week? An hour and a half

213
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:04.119
asleep? Well, I thought I'd
be a little more loopy today, but

214
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:10.279
I'm crazy the other day day this
was? This was a week you were

215
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:14.440
you were firing some boys. Yeah, you don't normally fire on Tuesday,

216
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:18.039
groggy, Yeah, weird? All
right? How you feel? Tom?

217
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:22.519
All right? Could have been better? Yeah? You know, I'll always

218
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:26.200
have a native tongue. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, I was waiting on

219
00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:30.279
nipple twist. Yeah. I was
going to ring it and say nasty tea

220
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:38.599
words. If the clue had been
me breakers for next time. Man,

221
00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:42.839
all right, so there you go. Now we transition away from the initials

222
00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:45.880
and back to dot com Tom,
because we don't always need to have you

223
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:48.759
here, buddy. So what's next
for you? I know Marn's got the

224
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:51.559
All Star breaks, so she's got
like a week off, no Wolves for

225
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:55.200
a week or so. But what
happens post Super Bowl In the world of

226
00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:57.640
an NFL reporter, give me your
next handful of months next week and a

227
00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:03.039
half. I'm here geting ready for
free agency and whatnot. Combine leave for

228
00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:07.400
that next Sunday. That's Indianapolis for
a week, then one more week prior

229
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:11.799
to free agency. Free agency moves
extremely fast. It will be dominated by

230
00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:15.119
trades this year because there's not a
ton of like A level names that are

231
00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:18.839
free agents. And then after you
get past like Thursday of free agency week,

232
00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:21.440
it's kind of, you know,
calms down a little bit. Here.

233
00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:23.359
There's always some stragglers. There's always
a handful of veteran players who are

234
00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:26.200
either going to be traded or cut, and so you're dealing with those while

235
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:30.960
you're on a beach somewhere in June. But yeah, I get through free

236
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:34.000
agency owners meetings end of March.
Draft is end of April in Detroit.

237
00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:38.759
Can't wait for that. And then
yeah, then it's a fun time.

238
00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:44.839
A couple of questions outside the realm
of the vikings, Ay, were you

239
00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:49.000
surprised that Belichick didn't get hired.
I was only surprised because it was so

240
00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:53.039
far down the line with the Falcons
in terms of, you know, talking

241
00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:56.680
to Arthur Blank regularly. He was
doing a lot of research, really getting

242
00:22:56.680 --> 00:23:00.000
ready to set up the program,
and then you know, the rug got

243
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:03.920
pulled out. The Falcons just you
know, they did their background like everybody

244
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:07.240
else on Belichick, and you know
what happened in New England. And I

245
00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:12.640
think that it's complicated when you're talking
about hiring a seventy two year old who

246
00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:15.720
you know, everybody reduced it to
power. It's not about power, it's

247
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:19.480
about Bill. Belichick has set things
up to win the same way since like

248
00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:23.519
nineteen ninety one in Cleveland. It's
always going to be this how you structure

249
00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:26.119
it. We're not going to have
a true GM. It's going to be

250
00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:29.880
these are the parts that are going
to need to be in place operationally.

251
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:33.240
This is how we work. And
you're buying into that we're going to blow

252
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:36.960
up everything we know about ran an
NFL franchise on the football side for like

253
00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:40.240
two to three years. Like,
it's a hard proposition for teams to get

254
00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:42.680
their head around. So there was
really only one team that you know,

255
00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:47.720
rose up here for Belichick, and
obviously the Falcons didn't ultimately hire and they

256
00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:51.440
went with Raheem Morris instead. I
do believe Bill Belichick will be somewhere in

257
00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:53.400
the NFL in twenty twenty five,
and that'll be one of the you know,

258
00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:57.720
driving storylines of this entire season.
Hard question perhaps for you to answer,

259
00:23:57.759 --> 00:24:00.920
knowing what you do for a living. How is not giving you betting

260
00:24:02.039 --> 00:24:03.559
vice hawk? I thought we covered
that the first two hours. I like

261
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:12.119
my satin sheets. Oh how well
betting? Oh oh, I'm sorry.

262
00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:18.960
Around the league, satin sheet,
stop on that for a second. I

263
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:22.319
like to be able to slide out
of bed in the summer. Don't they

264
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:26.319
just kind of like stick to your
body. That's a great feeling. Uh

265
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:30.400
yeah, I like to feel like
a subway sandwich man. That's not the

266
00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:37.160
sheets fault. I'm gonna miss that
next week. It's been great this week

267
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:41.079
around the league. How is quasi
perceived if you know and are willing to

268
00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:45.920
answer. I think that. I
mean, people don't know Quays as well

269
00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:48.480
as they do other gms just because
of you know, his background, and

270
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:52.599
then two years is not a lot
of time to judge a general manager off

271
00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:56.359
of we know that he's aggressive.
I mean, I think that's the number

272
00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:59.960
one thing in terms of you know, trades and not being scared to deal

273
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:03.799
within the division. You know,
the Hawkinson trade or the draft trade that

274
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:07.599
Brad Jamison Williams to Detroit. So
you know, he's part of kinda and

275
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:10.680
if he hears me say this,
he'll be annoyed. But like the new

276
00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:14.039
wave of gms where you're you're just
kind of approaching things from more of an

277
00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:18.119
analytics standpoint as opposed to appear scouting
standpoint, this is a huge offseason.

278
00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:21.640
I think that this is you know, again, you don't want to judge

279
00:25:21.640 --> 00:25:25.000
a GM off of two three years
or one offseason, but this is we're

280
00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:27.599
talking about the quarterback, the superstar
receiver, your best player, and a

281
00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:33.240
top pass rusher that's about as big
as it gets. And you're also constantly

282
00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:36.680
walking this line of the wolfs never
want to go full tear down they always

283
00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:40.960
want to try to compete while they're
building, and you know they've talked about

284
00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:42.799
the competitive rebuild. This is this
is as big as it gets. It's

285
00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:45.759
gonna be interesting to see how it
plays out. Do you guys mind if

286
00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:52.279
I keep going people like John Clayton. Let's just say John Clayton. Okay,

287
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:53.880
when I think of the NFL,
I think of John Clayton. He's

288
00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:59.000
been doing essentially the same job for
a very long time. Is this a

289
00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:02.200
dream job? And can you see
yourself doing this for the rest of your

290
00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:04.480
life? Well, first of all, when John died last year, that

291
00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:08.960
was like gutting to me because he's
like one of the great guys in the

292
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:11.880
industry and somebody who when you're a
young reporter coming up, would always be

293
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:15.279
the one to like. You know, he'd interact with anyone had no ego

294
00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:21.279
to him. That sucked, you
know, hearing that he had passed away.

295
00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:23.720
But yeah, I mean, you
know, his job, Like I

296
00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:30.680
stor remember running to John in like
the Marriott restaurant bar after a forty nine

297
00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:33.400
Ers game that was at night,
so it's like one in the morning and

298
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:37.160
he's in there with stacks of papers. I'm not joking you like six inch

299
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:41.000
stack of papers with every team's salary
cap. It was going through individually,

300
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:44.839
updating every player. He was tracking
the cap himself, which you know,

301
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:48.880
obviously there's like programs, websites and
things for that. But John was so

302
00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:52.759
into the work aspect of it,
and he loved to have like granular conversations

303
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:57.839
about roster building and the cap and
players. You know, he was super

304
00:26:57.880 --> 00:27:02.599
into it with loved it. He'd
absolutely you know, that was his make

305
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:06.839
that and his wife were you know, that was that was his life.

306
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:08.640
And yeah, I mean for me, I think I do a lot of

307
00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:12.519
different stuff, Like we did the
Insider Show this year, and I'm optimistic

308
00:27:12.599 --> 00:27:15.240
that's going to be returning in the
future. You never know when the sunset

309
00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:18.160
your show at the end of the
season, how that's going to come back.

310
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:21.079
But that was super fun. You
know, I love doing the hosting

311
00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:23.519
aspect of it, and you know, the news stuff definitely wears you out.

312
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:27.319
Hawk I'll say that, like the
you got to have a certain level

313
00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:32.559
of, as Pete Carol would put
a competitive stamina of. You have good

314
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:34.319
days and bad days. Some days
you miss the scoops, some days you're

315
00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:37.359
on a roll. And you have
to be willing to like ride that roller

316
00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:41.400
coaster. There's other people who are
really good at this job too, So

317
00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:44.160
if there are any ever anything that
drove me away from it, it would

318
00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:47.799
be just like not wanting to,
you know, be at a kid's birthday

319
00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:51.680
party and having some trade break and
wanting to, you know, crawl into

320
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:53.640
a hole. That part's not fun, but like the winning part of it's

321
00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:56.599
a lot of fun. So that's
you know, It's kind of like being

322
00:27:56.640 --> 00:28:00.000
an NFL coach. He went eleven
games, You probably had a pretty good

323
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:03.279
season, but still you lost six
and you got washed out in the division

324
00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:06.440
round. You're not on top.
The difference is there is no super Bowl

325
00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:08.759
title. Nobody hid into a trophy
because you were the best reporter that year.

326
00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:11.519
You just kind of have to go, like, I think I was

327
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:14.000
pretty good and then move on with
your life. Some people have to be

328
00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:18.039
extremely happy just getting into the first
round. Right, how dare you?

329
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:25.720
I know, I just wanted to
see if you had checked out? Next

330
00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:30.960
question, how much money do you
make? I couldn't think of anything else

331
00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:34.920
to ask. I'm sorry, I
was not a question I remember wrong,

332
00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:41.440
Lay, Let's ask it differently.
Was Clayton driving a Lamborghaine. Clayton was

333
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:44.119
so I know, there's like,
you know, the Slayer ad that everybody

334
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:47.960
has seen, one of the classics
of all time. He did not.

335
00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:52.519
In fact, you know, my
I knew John pretty well to my knowledge,

336
00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:56.319
never had a ponytail, certainly not
like a full on mullet thing down

337
00:28:56.359 --> 00:29:00.680
his back. Now. He was
like a you know, a pretty I

338
00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:03.920
won't say he's a normal guy because
he was an ab norm He's a quirky

339
00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:07.839
guy. But he was like very
positive and you know, I love to

340
00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:10.880
talk about a lot of different stuff, like yeah, would you know,

341
00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:14.079
invite me to lunch and it would
be like just your standard run of the

342
00:29:14.079 --> 00:29:15.880
mill like sports bar. Like that
was John, no one of us.

343
00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:19.599
They were not pretentious or anything.
He was great. It makes me on

344
00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:27.400
on a serious level of the salary
question. Though you're income fluctuate. Though

345
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:32.680
you just said you had a show
and then it got sunseted, but you

346
00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:36.920
have other jobs. You're not just
a salaried employee of NFL network. I

347
00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:38.839
have a contract that I get paid
a certain amount to do whatever they tell

348
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:42.559
me to do at that time.
Really, like you're hosting a show or

349
00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:47.079
you're not, and that you don't
get paid extra for that. I think

350
00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:49.880
that my salary on the contract negotiated
last year to go really deep in the

351
00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:55.480
weeds on a question I was not
anticipating answer for my name. It's based

352
00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:57.079
on the idea that I would be
hosting that show. Oh, got it,

353
00:29:57.119 --> 00:30:03.799
got it? Got it? Another
phone? What's what's your old phone

354
00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:07.759
number? Can we call the sieve? Great Annie or bit? Let's call

355
00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:11.559
her old number? Say the same
number. Then she texted me saying,

356
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:14.440
Hey, I got the new phone. I'm like, who is this?

357
00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:18.119
Yeah? Yeah, I'm so happy
for that. You're the best. It's

358
00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:21.680
the best. Yeah, I'm so
happy to see you. Sure have me,

359
00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:23.440
guess I appreciate that. Thank you
very much. Glad to be here,

360
00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:27.200
glad to let Parish get a win. I appreciate you back. I

361
00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:30.880
hope to return during the off season. Here, let's do it. I

362
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:33.240
gotta get back on the w show. Only Paul Rudd only knows one of

363
00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:37.839
us. That's pretty cool in itself. Betty knows Parish. He probably does,

364
00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:41.880
yeah, and he probably watches Marnie
on NBA TV and stuff when she's

365
00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:45.839
on there. So nobody watches that. No, oh, just checking up

366
00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:49.039
your pantents. Congrats Parish, nice
win Mars. We'll see you next week.

367
00:30:51.240 --> 00:30:52.920
Yeah yeah, yeah, all right
