No, I wasn't asking for your pen number, 45 00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:06.879 but I didn't know if it was a story you 46 00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:09.159 could tell. So, I mean that's my I'm in the 47 00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:12.439 same boat, and that's why I ask. I can't sare 48 00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:16.759 why that number means something to me a little bit? 49 00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:27.639 I gotcha, So, Candy ma'am, it is all yours. Where 50 00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:31.240 are we gonna lead this thing off this evening? 51 00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:34.039 You know, I think we gotta start with something that's 52 00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:36.400 gonna happen that's gonna be the first that's gonna happen 53 00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:39.520 in Major League Baseball, because I mean, I just got you. 54 00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:41.960 I mean, I know I'm talking here with you gentlemen, 55 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:44.960 but as a woman like this is really I think 56 00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:48.800 kind of cool because for the first time in MLB 57 00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:53.960 history in a regular season game, they're gonna have a 58 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:59.680 female umpire and they're gonna on Saturdays. She is gonna work. 59 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:04.280 Her name is Jen Powell. She has done some of 60 00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:07.080 I think spring training games, I think she started, but 61 00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:09.960 she's actually going to work the basis on Saturday. 62 00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:17.839 For play she got called up she does as well. Sorry, yes, she's. 63 00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:21.360 Going to do the plate on Sunday, which I just 64 00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:23.759 think is really cool. And I'm not actually kind of wondering, 65 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:26.279 like why did it take so long? Like we're talking 66 00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:29.319 an umpire, We're not talking you know, anything else, like 67 00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:33.759 why did it take so long for it to be 68 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:38.519 the first woman to umpire regular season MLB game? But 69 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:40.839 I'm just kind of curious as to you guys, what 70 00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:46.360 your thoughts are about the first female ming an MLB? 71 00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:51.839 And yeah, Samara, you said you spoke first, U lead 72 00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:53.879 it perfect. That's exactly where I was going to ask 73 00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:55.000 you go go ahead. 74 00:04:55.319 --> 00:05:00.879 I mean, considering that you have female officials in other 75 00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:05.120 sports such as the NBA, you've seen quite a few NFL, 76 00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:07.560 I feel like that number is growing. I feel like 77 00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:10.279 it was only a matter at time before the MLB 78 00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:10.839 got one. 79 00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:16.040 So okay, Jeremy, you gotta take. 80 00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:20.319 I think it's going to be better than everybody thinks 81 00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:23.399 because low and behold, how many times over the years 82 00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:27.000 have we watched men fail to call a proper strike zone? 83 00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:32.000 Good lord, I mean, I swear that one guy, it 84 00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:37.279 cost Galarraga at first a perfect game, and it was 85 00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:39.680 clear that guy was out by over half a step. 86 00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:42.560 We're not talking where it was close. It wasn't bang bang. 87 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.720 He was well over half a step away, and it 88 00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:47.279 was a blown perfect game. 89 00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:50.480 Mm hmm. 90 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:54.399 I love the fact that you just dropped the bang bang. 91 00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:58.000 It wasn't bang bang. You're right, Yeah, that was horrible 92 00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:03.720 with Galarraga. They miss that call. And y'all, I think 93 00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:06.560 we'll just tie this all in together because I want 94 00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:12.160 to read some comments. Candy just mentioned from Jen she'll 95 00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.959 be on the base pads the first couple of games 96 00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:22.680 and then she is gonna be behind home plate. We've 97 00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:29.879 seen egregious terrible calls. Jeremy just mentioned them, Samir, and 98 00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:34.720 we can all agree, like Jeremy just said, men most 99 00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:39.319 of the time, they get it right most of the time, 100 00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:47.879 but they're wrong too. Nobody is perfect. And honestly, the 101 00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:50.959 first thing that popped in my head is I've got 102 00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:57.680 a mother. You've all had a girlfriend or a wife. Candy, 103 00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:01.319 you're a woman. So thankful to have you to give 104 00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:05.759 your take on this. But we finally get an answer 105 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:15.319 to life's world longest question. Are women always right? 106 00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:18.399 Listen? 107 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:23.079 I want nothing more because male umpires have done it. 108 00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:26.959 They come out and they call a one game. It's 109 00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:33.240 rare on balls and strikes, I mean take them out. Well, 110 00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:37.680 we figure out that call, but the balls and the strikes? 111 00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:41.079 Can a woman always be right? And I'm so thankful 112 00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:45.360 that she'll be behind the home plate. But at the 113 00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:48.360 end of the day, Samir and Jeremy, Samir, you first. 114 00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:51.079 At the end of the day, we just want it 115 00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:53.480 right right pretty much? 116 00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:58.959 Yeah, I mean pretty much. Can they call balls and 117 00:07:59.000 --> 00:07:59.879 strikes correctly? 118 00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:00.920 Can they. 119 00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:05.399 Know the difference between an outfield fly and an infield fly? 120 00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:06.079 You know. 121 00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.040 Things like that, Like, oh, that's a good question. Will 122 00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:18.839 they know the infield flight rule? Some of the players 123 00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:19.720 don't even know that rule. 124 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:21.199 Some of the players won't even know that. 125 00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:23.000 So we've seen that happen. 126 00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:24.680 Yep, we sure have. 127 00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:27.240 So I want to make I want to tie it 128 00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:30.959 back to what we were talking about earlier. MLB's move 129 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:35.960 comes twenty eight years after the gender barrier for game 130 00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:41.320 officials was broken in the NBA, ten years after it 131 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:45.639 ended the NFL, and three years after the Men's Soccer 132 00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:49.240 World Cup employed a female referee. 133 00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:53.000 Right, okay, and here let me take blame and then 134 00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:55.519 I'll pass it to Jeremy and the samar That was 135 00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:58.759 partially my fault. What did take so long for it 136 00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:03.639 to happen? I don't think we've had any comments, but 137 00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:08.720 we appreciate Pensman and Tiger Stripes and rx J for 138 00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:13.799 being here. Valutations to all you guys. But I asked 139 00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:17.799 them in the chat too, why did it take so long? 140 00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:24.240 It wasn't that it took so long, just the NFL 141 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:26.000 and the NBA were ahead of the game. 142 00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:29.519 Amen, Yeah, I think. 143 00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:33.240 They and now the MLB obviously trying to come back 144 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.559 and correct they say, you know what, we've never had 145 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:42.799 a woman referee in the NFL. You know what I mean, Like, 146 00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:46.759 referee is the lead position. So I got a feeling 147 00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:50.480 if she's behind the plate, she will be the what 148 00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:54.399 is it the crew chief? I think they call it 149 00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:57.799 in the MLB. Not to be confused with NASCAR, which 150 00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:00.519 we all will talk on Southern right sports in South 151 00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:06.960 Florida Tribune. Don't forget about NASCAR. But yeah, it's not 152 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:11.120 like it was all understood, and so Jeremy passed it 153 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:12.320 back down to you and samir ral. 154 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.480 Why did it take so long? Because the MLB is 155 00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:21.639 the original old boys club. That's what it all boils 156 00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:25.879 down to. And what is that misogynistic to say, not 157 00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:29.320 as a fan seeing it from the outside, but for 158 00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:32.639 any of those people that said they shouldn't the entire 159 00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:36.320 time that was within the MLB organization, they were wrong 160 00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:41.519 for doing so. Equal rights for people of both sexist 161 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:43.720 to have a job has been out for how long now? 162 00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:54.720 Yeah? As wild and then samir again, can a woman 163 00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:57.080 always be right? And why did it take so long 164 00:10:57.120 --> 00:10:57.759 for the MLB. 165 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:04.879 I think anybody can be right, anybody can be wrong. 166 00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:07.080 Why it took so long for Major League Baseball? I 167 00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:12.519 think Germany. I think Jeremy's right. Major League Baseball was 168 00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:19.480 the original boys club, per se. Like for example, major 169 00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:27.600 League Baseball started in eighteen seventy six, they didn't integrate 170 00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:33.279 until nineteen forty seven, so that's almost eighty years in. 171 00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:38.840 It took them that long to just integrate. So I 172 00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:42.799 would say it kind of has been behind the eight 173 00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:45.360 ball a little bit and compared to the NFL or 174 00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:50.120 the NBA in that regard. So I think Jeremy's right 175 00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:51.000 on that. 176 00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:56.600 And I'm gonna say, and I agree with Jeremy that 177 00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:59.679 I think it's the good old boys club. What I 178 00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:05.559 don't understand is girls play softball and we've played it 179 00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:09.320 for how many years? And that's so close to baseball, 180 00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:13.720 just like girls play girls basketball, like girls don't play 181 00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:19.120 football for the most part. So how we got into football, 182 00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:23.799 referee and as opposed to not into baseball before surprises me, 183 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:27.799 Except the NFL is pretty good about like doing all 184 00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:31.960 these new things and expanding and going overseas first and 185 00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:34.919 now like MLB's going overseas and stuff like that. 186 00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:40.639 But right, oh yeah, well, I was just gonna say exactly. 187 00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:44.519 So someone commented today on mine and we're like, yeah, 188 00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:48.480 women have done really well in coaching. Pat Summit comes 189 00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:52.440 to mind, Dawn Staley came to mind from a p 190 00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:59.440 Digits loyal listener, yep, and he commented that, and these 191 00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:03.240 ladies know, if they're going to get into any sport, 192 00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:07.480 baseball and basketball, they're universal. 193 00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:08.519 Mm hmm. 194 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:09.639 Right. 195 00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:13.919 And have we even seen an MLB woman coach yet, 196 00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:16.039 like in the Major League I. 197 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:19.279 Think San Francisco anywhere years ago. 198 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:24.559 I think you're right, Candy, Mike can do that search 199 00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:26.759 for us real quick to find out if a woman 200 00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:31.519 has ever been a coach at the MLB level. I 201 00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:33.440 feel like you're right, though I know. 202 00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:35.639 There was one in the minor leagues because I think 203 00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:40.879 there was one over in uh not Sarasota, but down 204 00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:46.840 here and for spring training that I remember women right well. 205 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:50.679 And and again while you're searching, it to universal sports, 206 00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:56.639 So Jeremy, hey, check this out, Samir, listen to this, NBA, MLB, 207 00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:02.440 they're universal sports, softball, baseball together. And so this is 208 00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:06.440 a conversation leading us down a rabbit hole. But the 209 00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:13.320 NFL is trying to pursue to be a universal sport 210 00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:19.480 going global with their games. They've had the women, they're 211 00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:25.639 obviously women's flag football. The MLB, though, what can they 212 00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:27.720 do to grow? What else do they need to do? 213 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:34.679 Basically open it up at the lower levels to allow 214 00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:39.039 women to play as well as referee ahead of time. 215 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:40.879 That way we can see if any of them have 216 00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:44.120 MLB talent. Because I know when I played Little league, 217 00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:48.080 and this was in nineteen seventy eight, I'm talking about 218 00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:54.279 in seventy nine, there was girls on my baseball team. 219 00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:57.639 So there were girls on the football team that played 220 00:14:57.639 --> 00:14:58.360 my son this year. 221 00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:01.440 Sorry, go ahead, I'm saying those are co ed leagues. 222 00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:05.080 But when it says it said sign up for boys 223 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:07.679 summer and I see eight girls name on a twenty 224 00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:12.240 five person roster, that tells me that the interest is 225 00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:14.919 there for girls to play baseball. Why aren't they allowed 226 00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:21.039 in intramural sports with the schools? 227 00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:25.600 I agree. I'm going to quick say kudos to Samir 228 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:30.159 because you definitely got it right. Alyssa, I don't know 229 00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:34.440 if I'm sounding her name right. Nakin n akk E 230 00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:37.159 n is the first woman to coach in a Major 231 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:41.360 League Baseball geam, making her debut as first base coach 232 00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:44.559 for the San Francisco Giants back in twenty twenty two. 233 00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:47.120 She was also the first woman to hold a full 234 00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:50.879 time coaching position in MLB, joining the Giants staff in 235 00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:54.840 twenty twenty. More recently, she has transitioned to the Cleveland 236 00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:58.039 Guardians for a player development. 237 00:15:58.960 --> 00:15:59.200 Role. 238 00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:02.120 Good job, Samira, you nailed it. 239 00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:05.840 Yeah, because I remember from a few years ago they 240 00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:08.440 hired one. I just I just remembered because I think 241 00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:12.360 they were I remember watching one of their games and 242 00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:14.159 I think it was pointed out. 243 00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:17.879 So yeah, like I said, I thought I was right 244 00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:21.120 behind you. Hey, I was right, and I am right 245 00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:26.639 by association because I agree and I agree with everybody 246 00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:30.960 most of the time. Jeremy Samir appreciates you guys being here. Candy, 247 00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:34.200 where what's up? We're done with that conversation, I think so. 248 00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:37.240 But we do have all other We do have one 249 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:42.279 other person that's been in the official value capacity in 250 00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:46.080 the MLB. That's a woman that has handled all of 251 00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:50.120 the scouting for the New York Yankees the last fifteen years. 252 00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:53.639 I can't remember her name, but she does the scouting 253 00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:56.080 for the Triple A, the Double A, and the Single 254 00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:59.200 A getting all of their undrafted players. 255 00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:02.879 I mean, Kim ng was for the Marlins and Yankees 256 00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:07.799 a high position too, so now she's doing now she's 257 00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:11.160 in charge of the new softball league. But yes, but 258 00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:14.200 I mean I don't think I don't know if we'll do. 259 00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:17.400 We think we'll ever see a female manager. 260 00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:21.880 I think eventually you will. I think eventually you will. 261 00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:24.279 I'm quite sure there is in one of those little 262 00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:28.839 low A or single high A affiliates that hardly anybody 263 00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:32.000 knows about. I'm quite sure there's probably a female assistant 264 00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:35.519 or a base coach already that is probably being groomed. 265 00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:40.240 I don't know the. 266 00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:46.200 Answer to that question. I don't know. I remember, not 267 00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:51.400 too a few years ago they were there was the 268 00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:57.599 belief that in the NBA, Greg Popovich's replacement was going 269 00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:05.279 to be a female. Than ultimately that didn't happen. So 270 00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:08.440 I really feel like that question is up in the air. 271 00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:14.799 Okay, that's fair, that's fair. 272 00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:19.559 I am right along with y'all. I mean, as you 273 00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:26.880 just mentioned, Becky Hammond m supposedly coaching waiting for the Spurs. 274 00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:31.079 Just so happened to get hired to the WNBA before 275 00:18:31.079 --> 00:18:31.640 that happened. 276 00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:34.359 Mm hmm. 277 00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:38.279 I can't say what I really want to say as 278 00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:42.440 far as women getting chances to be managers, coaches and 279 00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:46.680 all that. I'll tie it all in together. I want 280 00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:52.079 to see it come. We've talked about Don Staley getting 281 00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:54.680 head calls for the head coaching job at the Knicks, 282 00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:01.839 like it's not far from the realm of pibility. But 283 00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:06.720 Asamir said, I don't know. Could it be five more years, 284 00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:11.599 could it be ten more years? I mean, what woman 285 00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:18.920 right now could we highlight to be that coach? You 286 00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:22.519 know what I mean? If you can't name her, If 287 00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:27.000 you don't know the top recruit, that means that the 288 00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:30.480 MLB and stuff, the NFL and they're not talking about 289 00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:33.599 it that much. If you don't know what their number 290 00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:36.920 one recruit is, if you're not hearing a peep and 291 00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:41.480 a chirp about these people's names, if you're not hearing 292 00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:44.319 a sizzle, so to speak. 293 00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:48.519 I mean, do we think Caiton Clerk will ever be 294 00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:51.799 a coach? I mean, she's playing right now, but let's 295 00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:54.200 face it, they only play for how many years? Do 296 00:19:54.279 --> 00:19:57.319 we think she you know, she's a big name popular. 297 00:19:58.759 --> 00:20:01.200 Could she be the first female. 298 00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:05.440 At seventy five thousand dollars a year? I think she's 299 00:20:05.559 --> 00:20:11.519 looking to play for fifty years if I'm her, shoot, 300 00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:15.920 y'all gonna have to drag me off this court. I've 301 00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:20.480 brought you all of this and you still lost money. WNBA. 302 00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:24.039 Don't even get me into the economics and the WNBA. 303 00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:28.640 I've already cooked that. Golly, I've already cooked the WNBA. 304 00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:32.960 So much about that. But yeah, I mean, who Caitlin Clark? 305 00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:35.839 When I said what I said, she was the first 306 00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:40.319 one that popped in my mind. Name me one softball 307 00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:46.799 player that played for the USA women's softball team. Name 308 00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:49.119 me one, and I'll say she could be a mob 309 00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:53.680 head coach. But you've never heard of whoever I'm talking about. 310 00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:57.599 That's the problem, right right? 311 00:20:58.039 --> 00:20:58.759 No, I agree? 312 00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:01.680 I agree? 313 00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:03.559 Okay. 314 00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:09.000 Anyways, yeah, yes, topic, Yeah, anybody else? Anybody? Women? Umpire? 315 00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:12.559 Uh we got p digits over here in the stream, 316 00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:18.279 he said, he brings nothing to the table. You're a liar. 317 00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:24.279 P digits, You're a liar. You missed my earlier comment 318 00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:28.400 in the stream where it says I might be a 319 00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:35.599 little bit sassy. This evening. So kay, yes, by all means, 320 00:21:35.960 --> 00:21:38.359 what do we got coming up next? 321 00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:43.279 Let's talk about the topic that the title is. The 322 00:21:43.319 --> 00:21:50.200 preseason is here? Who's playing and who should be playing? Now, Samir, 323 00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:54.079 I know you just wrote an article about this. I 324 00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:55.720 don't know if any of you have been watching the 325 00:21:55.720 --> 00:22:00.839 game tonight, but there's also there's already an injury. Ravens 326 00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:08.480 rookie cornerback Ball Cone tore his ACL and mcl into 327 00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:09.359 night's game. 328 00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:14.680 Out and he was considered what their fourth cornerback or 329 00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:18.039 their third cornerback at best on the roster right now. 330 00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:23.279 This is just more proof why coaches like Dan Campbell 331 00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:27.559 and everybody says that he gets more out of the 332 00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:32.039 joint practices that they can control what happens versus putting 333 00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:36.000 him in a preseason game where it's full contact and 334 00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:36.960 less controlled. 335 00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:41.279 Well, and they haven't been practicing for that long to 336 00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:46.640 ramp it up to playing a game already. To me, 337 00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:49.359 I mean, they've only been practicing for what a week 338 00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:50.200 or two weeks? 339 00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:53.839 Some of them started three weeks ago. There's like four 340 00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:56.119 teams that started three weeks ago, two of them being 341 00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:58.279 the Chargers and Lions because they had the Hall of 342 00:22:58.319 --> 00:23:03.480 Fame game last week, right, so you know. But yeah, 343 00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:06.039 you're right, But this all stems back. If you think 344 00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:08.799 about it, all these soft tissue injuries. All you gotta 345 00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:10.880 do is go back to the death of Corey Stringer 346 00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:14.880 in twenty seventeen because all the rules change for offseason 347 00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:18.759 workouts the next year, no to a days, no extra OTAs, 348 00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:25.559 no no mandatory weight training. You couldn't make players do it. 349 00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:28.759 They had to want to do it themselves and all 350 00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:32.640 because he didn't hydrate himself and the coaches didn't catch 351 00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:34.960 it in time. And I understand it's a tragedy that 352 00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:37.079 he died. I'm not making fun of that at all. 353 00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:42.599 But you saw a thirty percent increase from twenty seventeen 354 00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:45.359 to twenty eighteen in soft isssue injuries, and it's gone 355 00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:47.799 up by three percent every year until it finally plant 356 00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:49.119 out at forty five percent. 357 00:23:56.279 --> 00:24:00.799 Yeah, I feel like I understand both sides of it 358 00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:04.039 in regards to who should play in the preseason and 359 00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:08.200 who shouldn't. And I mentioned this in my article. You know, 360 00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:14.160 every year there is a debate within various NFL fan bases, 361 00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:17.960 especially ours here in Atlanta, on who should play in 362 00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:21.079 the preseason and who shouldn't. And I think a lot 363 00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:23.839 of that basis in favor of who should play your 364 00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:28.039 saying or people in favor of their team's starters, especially 365 00:24:28.119 --> 00:24:32.200 offensive starters playing is that you know if you get 366 00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:35.000 if you play your starters for a driver too for 367 00:24:35.079 --> 00:24:37.720 at least two of the games, you can knock that 368 00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:43.000 rust off and find the best way possible to avoid 369 00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:45.720 a slow start to Week one or a slow start 370 00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:50.359 to the season. On the flip side, you're risking injuries 371 00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:55.720 to a player on your roster that can potentially impact 372 00:24:55.799 --> 00:25:00.119 the outcome of your season. And my argument is that 373 00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:04.480 if I were a head coach in the NFL, I 374 00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:09.440 would play my starters, especially my offensive starters, no more 375 00:25:09.799 --> 00:25:13.160 than around one to two drives in two of the games. 376 00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:18.799 And I feel like with think about the Falcons is 377 00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:24.440 that we have lost six of our last seven Week 378 00:25:24.559 --> 00:25:28.599 one games. In those games are offensive averaged sixteen and 379 00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:32.000 a half points. Week two they usually play better in 380 00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:33.599 a lot of and a lot and I think most 381 00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:36.359 of those Week two games they've ended up winning. But 382 00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:39.480 I feel like it goes to show that in the NFL, 383 00:25:39.559 --> 00:25:45.720 you want to start fast. And the thing is, let's 384 00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:50.920 say you have a rookie quarterback or a second year 385 00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:54.640 quarterback who hasn't gotten a lot of NFL reps, I 386 00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:59.240 feel like that quarterback should play like as I mentioned, 387 00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:04.920 the series or two for two to three games because 388 00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:10.880 they haven't had enough exposure to the speed of an 389 00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:16.000 NFL game or the or what or the speed of 390 00:26:16.039 --> 00:26:22.400 an NFL defense as a quarterback like an established veteran 391 00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:25.359 would like. The ironic part in all of this is 392 00:26:25.400 --> 00:26:29.200 that Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes, who are who have 393 00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:31.720 been on playoff runs, who have played in Super Bowls. 394 00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:36.880 Mahomes has won three Super Bowls, multiple MVPs. Those guys 395 00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:42.000 have played in our playing games in the preseason. Meanwhile, 396 00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:46.400 Michael Pennix Junior, who has only three NFL starts under 397 00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:51.000 his belt, is not getting any snaps in tomorrow's preseason 398 00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:54.319 game against Detroit. The hope is that we will see 399 00:26:54.400 --> 00:26:59.599 him in some aspect of our first team offense next 400 00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:03.440 week in our preseason game against the Titans. And my 401 00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:08.240 issue with that is we had a new quarterback last 402 00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:11.319 season in Kirk Cousins, the first time play caller Zach Robinson. 403 00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:15.640 The starters got zero playing time in the preseason. They 404 00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:19.200 came out Week one against Pittsburgh and looked out a sink. 405 00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:24.440 Pittsburgh won that game without scoring an offensive touchdown, and 406 00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:26.640 as I mentioned in my article, the turning point of 407 00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:29.920 that game could have been avoided if the starters had 408 00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:34.119 gotten some playtime in the preseason. There was a miscommunication 409 00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:37.400 between Kirk and one of our Titans, Charlie Warner, resulted 410 00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:41.319 in a bad snap in a fumble, and we were 411 00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:45.079 leading at that time. We were driving into Steelar territory. 412 00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:49.000 That basically changed the momentum of the game, and we 413 00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:51.599 ended up losing that game without giving up a single 414 00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:58.680 without our defense giving up a single touchdown. So, for example, 415 00:27:58.759 --> 00:28:03.559 like the Bengals have traditionally not played Joe Burrow and 416 00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:07.200 their star skill players in the preseason, and it feels 417 00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:11.160 like every year they come out Week one and look flat. 418 00:28:11.599 --> 00:28:15.720 Like for example, that loss to the Patriots team that 419 00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:19.599 ultimately ended up winning four games last year could be 420 00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:23.920 attributed in large part to Russ because the very next week, 421 00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:27.839 if we don't remember, they went to Kansas City and 422 00:28:28.039 --> 00:28:30.759 took and almost beat the Chiefs and their offense looked 423 00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:36.400 a lot better. So me, it really depends on the circumstance. 424 00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:42.640 If you're an established veteran quarterback who is familiar with 425 00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:46.960 the speed of an NFL game and an NFL defense, 426 00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:51.359 and you have that continuity and chemistry with your teammates 427 00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:53.759 or coordinators or whomever, then no, you don't need to 428 00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:55.799 play in the preseason. But if you are a young 429 00:28:55.880 --> 00:29:01.240 quarterback who is still getting used to the speed of 430 00:29:01.319 --> 00:29:05.440 an NFL game, like a Michael Panix, like a cam 431 00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:08.839 Ward over in Tennessee, then I feel like those reps 432 00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:09.880 could be beneficial. 433 00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:19.559 Okay, Jeremy, your thoughts. 434 00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:20.119 Well, all we got to do is look at one 435 00:29:20.200 --> 00:29:22.400 team and the fact that they've been in the Super 436 00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:25.160 Bowl how many times in a row. Andy Reid and 437 00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:31.519 the Chiefs. Yep, that team plays starters in every preseason 438 00:29:31.599 --> 00:29:34.400 game every year, even in the last game. It's just 439 00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:36.799 like a little mini preview. Two drives in, they're out, 440 00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:43.200 or a quarter. That's a recipe for success. That's what 441 00:29:43.240 --> 00:29:47.359 it was. The entire NFL with the four game fourmat 442 00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:50.440 They would play a quarter, then they'd play a third, 443 00:29:50.519 --> 00:29:53.480 then they'd play an extended almost a half, and then 444 00:29:53.519 --> 00:29:56.839 they did play a half. Why not at least let 445 00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:00.759 them do one or two drives every game, get the 446 00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:02.640 rusted off to get him in games. 447 00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:07.440 Yet, Yeah, like I remember, for a lot of the 448 00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:09.799 years when Matt Ryan was our quarterback, he would play 449 00:30:09.799 --> 00:30:12.400 in the preseason all the time. He'd play about he'd 450 00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:16.160 play almost a full quarter in about a game or two, 451 00:30:16.559 --> 00:30:20.240 mainly one game, and they'd come out week one and 452 00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:22.880 a lot of times I think we won most of 453 00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:27.759 our games when he was here week one. So yeah, 454 00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:29.920 I feel like it does. People want to say that 455 00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:32.880 it doesn't make a difference. I think, in my opinion, 456 00:30:32.920 --> 00:30:36.880 it does. You know, and I've heard the argument that, well, 457 00:30:36.920 --> 00:30:41.200 the Eagles didn't play any other starters last year and 458 00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:44.000 look what they did well. Again, whether or not you 459 00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:47.759 play your starters in the preseason, there's no correlation between 460 00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:51.920 that and regular season success. And in case people forget 461 00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:57.880 the Eagles down a slow start last year, especially Jalen Hurts, 462 00:30:58.359 --> 00:31:00.759 like Jalen Hurts turned the ball over a lot in 463 00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:04.880 those first that first hand full of games, and again 464 00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:08.880 he didn't really take off, or that offense in general 465 00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:12.519 didn't really take off until about week six or week seven. Now, 466 00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:16.039 they did have some injuries. AJ Brown got injured in 467 00:31:16.079 --> 00:31:20.240 the game against the Packers. I think DeVante Smith had 468 00:31:20.240 --> 00:31:23.240 to miss a game or two, but still it took 469 00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:28.680 them time to get caught up in the speed of 470 00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:32.519 an NFL game. So yeah, I feel like it does 471 00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:36.200 make a difference. But me, it really it's really all 472 00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:40.720 circum depends on circumstance, right, and. 473 00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:45.359 Candy, I was, yep, go ahead, I was gonna say 474 00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:49.839 so in all the years that we had, even Aaron Rodgers, 475 00:31:50.160 --> 00:31:54.759 and Aaron Rodgers obviously has been the head of the 476 00:31:54.839 --> 00:31:57.599 quarterbacks for how long and it took us to a 477 00:31:57.640 --> 00:32:02.519 super Bowl and everything. I think even him, because there's 478 00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:05.119 always going to be rookies on the team and there's 479 00:32:05.160 --> 00:32:07.559 always going to be new people that you're putting in 480 00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:10.799 or you're put changing positions. I think you have to 481 00:32:10.839 --> 00:32:15.359 put them in in the beginning because otherwise the Packers 482 00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:17.960 had looked I thought they looked flat the last couple 483 00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:22.640 of years coming out, especially when we even had Rogers 484 00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:25.759 because he wouldn't play in the games in preseason, and 485 00:32:25.839 --> 00:32:27.880 I think that was wrong because I think the timing 486 00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:32.400 you miss, your timing, you miss, especially rookies. Last year 487 00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:35.839 with Jordan Love, like, how well was he connecting with 488 00:32:35.880 --> 00:32:42.160 his rookies and and there's a difference between practicing against 489 00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:46.119 your own defense and being in games with a different 490 00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:51.920 defense and recognizing and not just for the quarterbacks, but 491 00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:55.480 even for the wide receivers. You know who is covering me? 492 00:32:55.559 --> 00:32:59.599 How quickly are they? How can I get open? How 493 00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:02.319 is it the D line you know, guarding me? And 494 00:33:02.359 --> 00:33:05.519 stuff like that. I think they should be playing at 495 00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:10.400 least a series or two, if not maybe the first quarter. 496 00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:13.640 And yet they run the risk of being injured. I 497 00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:16.559 get that. But they can be injured in practice. They 498 00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:19.440 can be injured the first game of the regular season 499 00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:22.839 if they don't start ampting up. I mean, it could 500 00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:25.079 happen anyway anytime, let's face it. 501 00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:28.599 Yeah, yeah, I feel the exact same way. Like people 502 00:33:28.599 --> 00:33:31.920 are saying, well, we can't risk an injury to somebody 503 00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:35.559 on our roster. Well, I mean hypothetically, and you know, 504 00:33:35.839 --> 00:33:40.160 God forbid, Michael Pennix could fall down the steps at 505 00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:42.519 his home and hurt himself. 506 00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:54.519 So a skiing skiing hurt by it one way? 507 00:33:54.559 --> 00:33:57.359 Or j C. Horn with the Panthers just got into 508 00:33:57.400 --> 00:33:58.759 a car accident the other day. 509 00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:01.960 Let us he had some stitches. He'll be fine, but 510 00:34:02.119 --> 00:34:04.319 he has got he should be back by the first 511 00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:05.039 week of the season. 512 00:34:05.839 --> 00:34:08.800 Yeah, yeah, like like someone can get hurt the first 513 00:34:08.840 --> 00:34:13.719 play of week one, like And I think Candy, you 514 00:34:13.719 --> 00:34:25.000 were right, like referring like training camp, scrimmages or joint 515 00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:31.519 practices as getting assimilated to live game action. I just 516 00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:35.519 don't think it is a sufficient means of doing so, 517 00:34:36.559 --> 00:34:40.079 because you know, people aren't going one hundred percent. A 518 00:34:40.159 --> 00:34:44.480 lot of times you don't have pads on, but in 519 00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:48.400 a real game, they are going one hundred percent, and 520 00:34:48.639 --> 00:34:50.639 you have to be ready to remember what it feels 521 00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:53.679 like to get sacked or to have somebody coming at 522 00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:57.320 you full speed, things like that. So again, just my 523 00:34:57.360 --> 00:35:00.239 whole point. It does make a difference. I feel. 524 00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:06.159 She absolutely it does, all right, And y'all I might 525 00:35:06.199 --> 00:35:11.360 have to take a moment on this one. Yeah. I've 526 00:35:11.360 --> 00:35:13.800 been sitting here, I've been listening to everything you guys 527 00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:18.199 have to say, and it's helped me gather my thoughts. 528 00:35:18.280 --> 00:35:20.960 That's what I love to do. I don't necessarily like 529 00:35:21.039 --> 00:35:24.400 to copy or anything. So that's not what you're hearing. 530 00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:29.679 You're hearing a conversation here on Southern Fried Sports with 531 00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:35.199 the South Florida Tribune, where we have fired up the friars. 532 00:35:36.239 --> 00:35:40.719 Say that three times fast fire up the friar and 533 00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:44.840 it ain't that hard. Good deal. I like it. So 534 00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:48.800 that's what we're doing. And y'all did to me everything 535 00:35:48.880 --> 00:35:51.480 y'all have said. I was already thinking it, and I 536 00:35:51.559 --> 00:35:54.920 was like, oh, man, Samir just led me there so greatly. 537 00:35:55.360 --> 00:35:57.800 And then Candy said the same thing, and I'm like, man, 538 00:35:57.880 --> 00:36:02.480 she led me there so greatly. And then Jeremy he 539 00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:06.840 said something, and I'm like, man, it's just all beautiful. 540 00:36:06.920 --> 00:36:11.360 So at the end of the day, the most difficult 541 00:36:11.440 --> 00:36:16.079 thing to do for an NFL coach is to balance 542 00:36:16.400 --> 00:36:24.559 the play between starters and potential roster cuts going into 543 00:36:25.079 --> 00:36:30.039 the season. I do not want that job. You've got 544 00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:33.840 so many great football players right in front of you, 545 00:36:33.880 --> 00:36:39.119 and you know, you know that some of those players 546 00:36:39.159 --> 00:36:44.119 can help your team get to the next level. You 547 00:36:44.199 --> 00:36:48.880 never know when there's a random fifth round quarterback, seventh 548 00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:55.800 round quarterback Rock Purdy, Tom Brady, you never know when 549 00:36:55.840 --> 00:37:00.440 there's a sneaky wide receiver trell O. I don't think 550 00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:03.480 it was drafted that high. Randy Moss, I don't think 551 00:37:03.639 --> 00:37:09.400 was drafted that high. Jerry Rice, none of them were 552 00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:18.280 drafted that high. And so to Sameir's point, practice and 553 00:37:18.440 --> 00:37:25.960 games are not the same. No, no, they're not. What 554 00:37:26.119 --> 00:37:31.159 you get from practice from a player does not translate 555 00:37:32.679 --> 00:37:37.840 into getting it on the game field. And so I 556 00:37:37.880 --> 00:37:43.440 hate it for colleges. Colleges they don't even get to 557 00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:48.000 play a preseason game. They I mean, they just get 558 00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:52.280 to go play against themselves. What do you learn about yourself? 559 00:37:53.599 --> 00:37:56.679 I mean, you learn a lot about your own team, 560 00:37:56.719 --> 00:38:01.039 but you're not learning anything about anybody else. And so 561 00:38:02.280 --> 00:38:05.039 it's a very difficult thing to balance though. All Right, 562 00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:08.119 so you got coaches, they're trying to get game film 563 00:38:08.159 --> 00:38:12.280 for the year, but they've also got this list of 564 00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:18.480 players that, let's be honest, some of the NFL coaches 565 00:38:18.559 --> 00:38:22.159 might not even know their head name, their first name. 566 00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:27.559 I mean, what, you're coming here to practice for a 567 00:38:27.599 --> 00:38:32.760 few weeks. You're an un drafted free agent. But that's 568 00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:35.199 why they've got to earn their spot and make their 569 00:38:35.320 --> 00:38:41.440 name be known. So where do we put the balance though? 570 00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:45.719 For you guys, Like I've heard everything y'all said, and 571 00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:50.840 that's where I land. Yes, your starters need to play, 572 00:38:50.880 --> 00:38:52.599 they need to get reps. You got to be on 573 00:38:52.639 --> 00:38:56.079 the field. I just said. Practice and games are different. 574 00:38:57.920 --> 00:39:01.480 But you've also got to find your diamond in the rough. 575 00:39:02.719 --> 00:39:07.599 You've got to find whatever it is you need to 576 00:39:07.639 --> 00:39:12.320 get to the next level. It's a tough job in 577 00:39:12.320 --> 00:39:12.920 my opinion. 578 00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:19.599 Agreed, Agreed, I mean, where do you Who is you 579 00:39:19.679 --> 00:39:22.280 going to be number two? Who's gonna be number three? 580 00:39:22.480 --> 00:39:24.400 Number four? I mean, let's face it, some of these 581 00:39:25.639 --> 00:39:28.159 some of these teams have how many different quarterbacks on 582 00:39:28.239 --> 00:39:31.199 their roster right now, and you know they're not gonna 583 00:39:31.199 --> 00:39:33.280 be able to keep them all. So who's going to 584 00:39:33.360 --> 00:39:40.960 be where? I would say, in a perfect world, I 585 00:39:41.039 --> 00:39:43.599 would say you would play the first couple of series, 586 00:39:43.639 --> 00:39:47.440 whether it be two three series, with your starters and 587 00:39:48.639 --> 00:39:50.679 maybe going up to the first the end of the 588 00:39:50.719 --> 00:39:53.559 first quarter, and then you start putting in more people. 589 00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:56.960 But part of it also depends on the other teams, 590 00:39:57.039 --> 00:40:01.239 because are then you playing yours second string against their 591 00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:04.400 first string or is it their third string against your 592 00:40:04.920 --> 00:40:08.519 second or your first string? Like that's where it gets interesting. 593 00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:13.840 And and two things to exactly what you just said. 594 00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:19.800 So the whole emotion and the nervousness and the feeling 595 00:40:20.159 --> 00:40:24.440 leading into a game. So say you've got this rookie, 596 00:40:24.480 --> 00:40:27.599 though I mean all of them rookie. They never played 597 00:40:27.599 --> 00:40:32.039 in an NFL game before. They have never once played 598 00:40:32.519 --> 00:40:37.320 in an ANFL game. Sorry, I felt like I said 599 00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:42.480 that really fast, so I wanted to repeat it. Some 600 00:40:42.519 --> 00:40:47.760 of these guys have never played in an NFL game, 601 00:40:48.440 --> 00:40:54.679 so I almost want to put them out there first 602 00:40:56.079 --> 00:41:02.079 to see if they can harness that nervousness, those emotions. 603 00:41:02.559 --> 00:41:06.920 To me, it would be a mental test, and then 604 00:41:07.079 --> 00:41:11.199 I would bring my starters in. The starters. If they've 605 00:41:11.239 --> 00:41:16.719 started an NFL game, they've already gotten over those emotions 606 00:41:17.360 --> 00:41:24.000 and that nervousness. So to me, if there's I don't 607 00:41:24.039 --> 00:41:27.239 know what the NFL rosters, I know they got to 608 00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:31.079 trim down to fifty three. I don't know how many 609 00:41:31.159 --> 00:41:37.599 they have currently, But if there's twenty players that I'm observing, 610 00:41:40.360 --> 00:41:46.159 coaches are pulling out those tricks to test their mental capability. 611 00:41:47.199 --> 00:41:51.719 And if you think I'm lying, you don't know ball. 612 00:41:52.159 --> 00:41:53.079 That's all I can tell you. 613 00:42:02.920 --> 00:42:06.000 So JD, I can tell you that during the NFL 614 00:42:06.079 --> 00:42:11.599 preseason each team, each team can have up to ninety 615 00:42:12.039 --> 00:42:16.519 players on their roster. This allows teams to evaluate a 616 00:42:16.599 --> 00:42:20.079 large number of players, including rookies, free agents, and veterans 617 00:42:20.119 --> 00:42:22.960 before making final cuts to reach the regular season limit 618 00:42:23.400 --> 00:42:26.440 of fifty three players. The final cutdown day is typically 619 00:42:26.800 --> 00:42:29.400 in late AUGUSTA. 620 00:42:29.719 --> 00:42:33.320 I was right about the fifty three. I did say that. 621 00:42:33.719 --> 00:42:36.559 Like I said, I don't know how many on the 622 00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:39.760 thirteen on the practice squad I believe it is. And 623 00:42:39.880 --> 00:42:41.960 every week there has to be what is it? Is 624 00:42:41.960 --> 00:42:46.039 it six or seven practice squad players activated each week 625 00:42:46.599 --> 00:42:49.400 for being dressed because there's something like that. There's a 626 00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:52.559 rotation that they allow and that allows you to rest 627 00:42:53.360 --> 00:42:55.199 your your depth on your roster. 628 00:42:55.920 --> 00:42:57.400 Yeah, I think it's somewhere around that. 629 00:43:02.400 --> 00:43:04.960 What I what I'm worried about is, let's say that 630 00:43:05.079 --> 00:43:10.119 they pushed this eighteen game season in. How are they 631 00:43:10.159 --> 00:43:14.880 going to mitigate the extra game? Going one less preseason game, 632 00:43:14.920 --> 00:43:17.880 which means more soft tissue injuries will happen in the 633 00:43:17.920 --> 00:43:21.199 regular season, Less starters will see the field than we 634 00:43:21.280 --> 00:43:25.480 already see because you only got two games to evaluate 635 00:43:25.559 --> 00:43:28.800 your lesser talent to fill your roster. Are they going 636 00:43:28.880 --> 00:43:32.239 to expand rosters that way they can handle the extra 637 00:43:32.280 --> 00:43:34.440 low because I think they should expand it at least 638 00:43:34.440 --> 00:43:37.239 to a sixty man roster and maybe go to a 639 00:43:37.320 --> 00:43:39.159 twenty man practice squad. 640 00:43:40.159 --> 00:43:42.920 Yeah, well, I think you can definitely evaluate that in 641 00:43:42.920 --> 00:43:47.280 two ways. You can evaluate or you can address the 642 00:43:47.480 --> 00:43:52.119 roster evaluation gap that would be present by expanding rosters. 643 00:43:52.199 --> 00:43:58.400 Maybe you expanded to hypothetically sixty players instead of fifty three. Maybe, 644 00:43:58.440 --> 00:44:01.760 as you mentioned, Jeremy, the practice, you increase the size 645 00:44:01.800 --> 00:44:04.440 of the practice squad from thirteen and maybe twenty twenty 646 00:44:04.519 --> 00:44:10.400 five players, and you address the injury soft tissue gap 647 00:44:10.880 --> 00:44:13.559 by adding a second bye week and going back to 648 00:44:13.639 --> 00:44:16.519 sixteen games. 649 00:44:17.719 --> 00:44:20.000 Oh, they won't know, they're gonna push it forward to 650 00:44:20.039 --> 00:44:23.039 eighteen games. But the second bye week I completely agree with. 651 00:44:23.440 --> 00:44:25.519 And I think the one should still be a rotating 652 00:44:25.519 --> 00:44:29.519 by week, and when you travel overseas, it should be 653 00:44:29.559 --> 00:44:31.559 like what the Vikings and another team is doing, where 654 00:44:31.559 --> 00:44:34.679 they actually spend two weeks overseas rather than one week, 655 00:44:34.719 --> 00:44:37.239 come back and then go back, and then when they 656 00:44:37.280 --> 00:44:41.320 come back after that two weeks because a jet lag, automatically, 657 00:44:41.360 --> 00:44:43.840 those teams that come back after their two weeks overseas 658 00:44:44.119 --> 00:44:48.760 gets their rotating bye week right after that. The other 659 00:44:48.840 --> 00:44:52.519 bye week should be right there at week nine the 660 00:44:52.599 --> 00:44:56.519 trade deadline. That way, the new players come in, they 661 00:44:56.559 --> 00:44:58.719 have a whole week to learn the roster and the 662 00:44:58.719 --> 00:45:01.880 playbook and everything get acclimated for their team, which actually 663 00:45:01.880 --> 00:45:03.519 gives them two weeks to acclimate. 664 00:45:04.679 --> 00:45:07.559 Yes, yeah, I just feel like I just feel like 665 00:45:07.599 --> 00:45:09.239 the right way to go about that would be to 666 00:45:09.280 --> 00:45:11.599 have two bye weeks. You have every team gets a 667 00:45:11.599 --> 00:45:15.639 bye week early on in the season. Then everyone gets 668 00:45:15.639 --> 00:45:19.599 a bye week later on in the season, hypothetically sometime 669 00:45:19.639 --> 00:45:24.039 after Thanksgiving, because you've you've got teams right now with 670 00:45:24.159 --> 00:45:26.960 bye weeks in week five, week six, and you've got 671 00:45:27.000 --> 00:45:30.679 some teams with bye weeks in like week ten, week eleven. 672 00:45:31.000 --> 00:45:35.519 So the kind of bounce I think you need to 673 00:45:36.519 --> 00:45:41.480 and that's the soft tissue, the different injuries that could 674 00:45:41.480 --> 00:45:45.719 come with expanding to an extra game hypothetically. 675 00:45:48.079 --> 00:45:51.199 I just want to quick say, the practice squad is 676 00:45:51.360 --> 00:45:52.800 sixteen players, just. 677 00:45:52.800 --> 00:45:57.480 So okay, all right, yeah, so you add four more 678 00:45:57.519 --> 00:46:00.199 to that and add seven to the regular roster, be 679 00:46:00.199 --> 00:46:05.519 a total of an eighty man roster in a regular season, right. 680 00:46:06.159 --> 00:46:09.480 Okay, And so y'all have all led me right to 681 00:46:09.639 --> 00:46:13.400 this question. That's what happens. Good question comes from y'all's conversation. 682 00:46:14.559 --> 00:46:20.519 Thank you, Candy, shut the NFL, eliminate the preseason altogether. 683 00:46:21.719 --> 00:46:25.360 I mean, my goodness, I just mentioned how important it 684 00:46:25.440 --> 00:46:31.440 is to learn about these thirty seven players you have 685 00:46:31.519 --> 00:46:37.719 to cut. Technically, you still get to keep what was it, sixteen, 686 00:46:38.320 --> 00:46:43.360 Jared Okay, so technically you've only got to cut twenty one, 687 00:46:45.079 --> 00:46:52.599 but you've got to split a field of thirty seven players. Basically, 688 00:46:53.199 --> 00:46:59.239 fitty fitty Okay. Everybody knows how math works. It's a 689 00:46:59.360 --> 00:47:03.360 hard but if you're not getting to see these guys 690 00:47:04.079 --> 00:47:09.320 play a game, I mean, just get rid of the preseason. 691 00:47:09.679 --> 00:47:13.920 Just do it like college preseason or no preseason. 692 00:47:15.400 --> 00:47:17.239 I say, you have to have a preseason because we 693 00:47:17.360 --> 00:47:21.800 just said how the practice that they do, the joint 694 00:47:21.800 --> 00:47:24.719 practices are, is it the same as games that it 695 00:47:24.800 --> 00:47:27.280 doesn't get them ready? And we see these teams come 696 00:47:27.280 --> 00:47:30.840 out flat and have two weeks of awful football nine 697 00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:33.800 times out of ten at least. I mean, your bad 698 00:47:33.800 --> 00:47:36.159 teams look bad for up the four or five weeks. 699 00:47:37.639 --> 00:47:39.559 Look at the opposite end of the spectrum. There was 700 00:47:39.559 --> 00:47:41.480 a team that played a lot of starters last year 701 00:47:41.480 --> 00:47:43.320 in the preseason other than the Chiefs, and that was 702 00:47:43.400 --> 00:47:48.800 Chicago with under Matt Eberflus and they came out like Gangbusters, 703 00:47:48.840 --> 00:47:51.880 went four and two in that big fluke where treeque 704 00:47:51.880 --> 00:47:55.000 Stevenson runs across the field pops a hail Mary up 705 00:47:55.039 --> 00:47:57.440 in the air, so Noah Brown catches it and the 706 00:47:57.599 --> 00:48:01.039 Commanders win, and the rest of the season was new 707 00:48:01.039 --> 00:48:03.199 and interesting. Ways to lose to a week eighteen. 708 00:48:04.119 --> 00:48:14.440 Yeah, I hear you. 709 00:48:14.679 --> 00:48:17.920 That's what I'm saying. Those guys need to how to 710 00:48:17.960 --> 00:48:23.280 see people in games exactly. And you got to see 711 00:48:23.320 --> 00:48:27.079 your starters again. Back to my another point I had 712 00:48:27.079 --> 00:48:31.880 just mintygo it's a difficult job. How do you balance 713 00:48:32.239 --> 00:48:33.519 not getting someone hurt? 714 00:48:34.119 --> 00:48:37.199 So if you eliminate the preseason, how do you cut 715 00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:40.599 trim the fat from game situation out of those extra 716 00:48:40.639 --> 00:48:42.280 players that you were just talking about? 717 00:48:42.800 --> 00:48:43.920 College football? Does it? 718 00:48:46.119 --> 00:48:51.320 I mean the division one day you can have up 719 00:48:51.360 --> 00:48:53.639 to one hundred and ten players on your roster, though 720 00:48:53.960 --> 00:48:57.519 seventy of them are are scholarship in some way or another, 721 00:48:57.840 --> 00:49:01.519 the other forty or walktimes. So there's a big difference 722 00:49:01.559 --> 00:49:05.840 between an NFL one with a structured salary cap, which 723 00:49:05.880 --> 00:49:07.280 they don't have in college either. 724 00:49:07.920 --> 00:49:12.199 M Right, Well, it sounds like we're disagreeing, but we're 725 00:49:12.199 --> 00:49:16.400 not because what I'll say is either have a preseason 726 00:49:16.599 --> 00:49:22.119 or don't. Don't don't trim it down. So, like, like 727 00:49:22.159 --> 00:49:25.760 I said, I want all these players to have a 728 00:49:25.880 --> 00:49:29.480 chance to play in a game, to show the team 729 00:49:29.960 --> 00:49:34.840 that they can do something when those emotions and nerves 730 00:49:34.920 --> 00:49:40.880 are happening. So two games isn't enough. So I'm saying, 731 00:49:40.920 --> 00:49:44.079 if you're gonna trim it, the two, just go to none. 732 00:49:44.320 --> 00:49:49.039 But I prefer them to have four, you know what 733 00:49:49.079 --> 00:49:49.360 I mean. 734 00:49:51.239 --> 00:49:54.800 Qu Kane Sisk has a great point there about Dabo 735 00:49:54.880 --> 00:49:57.880 Sweeney that he's been pushing for a preseason in college 736 00:49:58.800 --> 00:50:03.400 just for the reasons. I say, Yeah, like. 737 00:50:03.400 --> 00:50:06.760 I said, that's what I'm saying. Either be like college 738 00:50:07.599 --> 00:50:11.119 and don't have any, or keep four. 739 00:50:11.559 --> 00:50:15.599 Well, de yeah, I mean you're talking about a college 740 00:50:15.599 --> 00:50:18.119 guy asking for a preseason, is what I'm saying. He's 741 00:50:18.159 --> 00:50:21.320 a college coach, That's what I was getting at. Yeah, 742 00:50:21.440 --> 00:50:22.679 he's asking for it. 743 00:50:23.480 --> 00:50:28.079 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I understood that. Yeah. 744 00:50:28.199 --> 00:50:31.599 Okay, And and technically he could say that those three 745 00:50:31.639 --> 00:50:34.880 out of conference versus cupcake teams like we see every year, 746 00:50:34.920 --> 00:50:36.119 that that's their preseason. 747 00:50:38.440 --> 00:50:40.199 But they don't get them all at the beginning of 748 00:50:40.199 --> 00:50:42.320 the year. That's not how it works in college anymore. 749 00:50:44.119 --> 00:50:46.440 LSU and Clemson open up against. 750 00:50:46.199 --> 00:50:48.599 Each other, that's great a line of. 751 00:50:48.599 --> 00:50:52.199 Plays Virginia Tech and and you don't get a preseason 752 00:50:52.360 --> 00:50:57.199 before that. That's what I'm saying. Either keep the preseason 753 00:50:57.199 --> 00:50:59.960 for the NFL, though, or don't and go full college 754 00:51:00.400 --> 00:51:04.920 because two games that's not enough. So, like, I would 755 00:51:05.000 --> 00:51:07.880 just prefer you to either stay at four or hey, 756 00:51:08.280 --> 00:51:11.000 let's be really fun and just go to zero. 757 00:51:14.239 --> 00:51:18.840 Yeah, but I don't know about zero. I don't think 758 00:51:18.840 --> 00:51:20.840 you could do zero. I would say. 759 00:51:22.320 --> 00:51:24.880 I'm not saying do it. I'm just saying that's the choices. 760 00:51:24.960 --> 00:51:27.719 Oh yeah, I definitely I would prefer zero over too. 761 00:51:28.079 --> 00:51:31.599 Though well, yeah, I feel like two wouldn't make sense. 762 00:51:31.719 --> 00:51:33.320 But yeah, if you're gonna do two, you might as 763 00:51:33.320 --> 00:51:35.840 well do zero because two games, I don't feel like 764 00:51:35.960 --> 00:51:39.000 is enough time to really evaluate the guys that you 765 00:51:39.079 --> 00:51:42.119 need to evaluate, like the fringe roster guys, maybe the 766 00:51:42.719 --> 00:51:44.960 who's gonna be your third running back, who's gonna be 767 00:51:44.960 --> 00:51:49.400 your wide receiver, six things like that. So if you're 768 00:51:49.400 --> 00:51:51.159 gonna do two, you might as well do zero, But 769 00:51:51.239 --> 00:51:52.360 which I don't see them doing. 770 00:51:54.119 --> 00:51:56.559 Oh and hey to up he digs. He just said 771 00:51:56.639 --> 00:52:02.039 spring game revit like read if they've gotten rid of. 772 00:52:02.000 --> 00:52:06.719 Those, there's teams that don't even do the spring game anymore. 773 00:52:06.960 --> 00:52:10.280 And that's kind of stupid too, you know. Uh, And 774 00:52:10.400 --> 00:52:12.199 believe it or not, it's a lot of the SEC 775 00:52:12.280 --> 00:52:16.760 teams that don't do the spring game anymore. The the SEC, 776 00:52:17.000 --> 00:52:19.119 the Big Twelve, all of the Big Ten still has 777 00:52:19.159 --> 00:52:22.840 their spring game because they make it, uh, freshman and 778 00:52:22.880 --> 00:52:26.719 sophomore versus junior and senior like a basically like a 779 00:52:26.800 --> 00:52:30.480 during the homecoming week with the powder puff Girls game 780 00:52:30.519 --> 00:52:34.039 between the underclassmen and everything. 781 00:52:36.079 --> 00:52:38.400 Right well and then okay, so over here to Cane's 782 00:52:38.440 --> 00:52:40.119 point I was about to take I was about to 783 00:52:40.159 --> 00:52:41.840 type back and say this, but I'll just say it 784 00:52:41.880 --> 00:52:46.280 on the air. To his point, like these two preseason 785 00:52:46.320 --> 00:52:53.119 games in college, you could literally just make everybody schedule 786 00:52:53.199 --> 00:52:59.760 the same way. So for the first two weeks, uh, 787 00:53:00.039 --> 00:53:06.719 an SEC team like South Carolina plays Presbyterian College the 788 00:53:06.760 --> 00:53:10.280 way that it used to be, Like Jeremy mentioned, where 789 00:53:10.280 --> 00:53:13.400 you get those three cupcakes right out the right out 790 00:53:13.400 --> 00:53:13.920 the gate. 791 00:53:15.360 --> 00:53:18.239 And every now and then a cupcake could win. Who 792 00:53:18.239 --> 00:53:20.440 remembers Appalachian State versus Michigan. 793 00:53:22.079 --> 00:53:27.280 Hey, listen, Citadel has beaten South Carolina game Cocks that 794 00:53:27.440 --> 00:53:29.039 once but twice. 795 00:53:30.280 --> 00:53:34.760 Who was it that Notre Dame loss to like Northern Illinois? 796 00:53:34.960 --> 00:53:35.960 Was it Northern Illinois? 797 00:53:36.039 --> 00:53:38.599 Yeah? 798 00:53:39.719 --> 00:53:43.719 Yeah, I mean you never know, but yeah, just like 799 00:53:43.920 --> 00:53:47.400 just schedule it. But I was saying you could get 800 00:53:47.440 --> 00:53:52.519 away with the disrespect of calling it a preseason game, 801 00:53:52.599 --> 00:53:55.280 you know what I mean, Like, it could be a 802 00:53:55.320 --> 00:53:59.480 preseason game without you having to like call it that 803 00:54:00.719 --> 00:54:04.239 because we're talking about extra games played for the players 804 00:54:04.760 --> 00:54:10.920 and stuff as well. So, but yeah, two games is 805 00:54:10.960 --> 00:54:18.400 not enough to check your starters and evaluate talent four 806 00:54:18.760 --> 00:54:22.320 or zero, no in between, Candy. 807 00:54:22.880 --> 00:54:26.719 Okay, I'm gonna reel it back in. Let let's get 808 00:54:26.719 --> 00:54:31.800 into our previews of the Let's start with the AFC 809 00:54:32.000 --> 00:54:39.000 West preview Broncos, Chiefs, Raiders, Chargers. What do we think 810 00:54:39.119 --> 00:54:41.199 is gonna who do we think is gonna take it? 811 00:54:41.360 --> 00:54:44.840 What do we think you know going forward? Samir? Why 812 00:54:44.840 --> 00:54:45.559 don't you start? 813 00:54:46.559 --> 00:54:50.280 Yeah, definitely so AFC West. My pick to win it 814 00:54:50.360 --> 00:54:55.239 once again will be the Chiefs. However, it's not gonna 815 00:54:55.280 --> 00:54:58.000 be like the past few years were. Basically, by the 816 00:54:58.079 --> 00:55:03.079 time Thanksgiving is over, and we're in early December, they 817 00:55:03.519 --> 00:55:06.639 just about have the division all but wrapped up. I 818 00:55:06.679 --> 00:55:10.079 think it is going to take them a lot longer, 819 00:55:10.599 --> 00:55:12.719 maybe more towards the end of the season, like maybe 820 00:55:12.760 --> 00:55:16.239 week sixteen or week seventeen is when they could have 821 00:55:16.320 --> 00:55:19.000 this division wrapped up. And I think that's in large 822 00:55:19.039 --> 00:55:23.400 part due to the fact that look at the Denver Broncos. 823 00:55:23.440 --> 00:55:28.360 Now you've got we know about bow Knicks, we know 824 00:55:28.480 --> 00:55:32.440 about the offensive line that, in my opinion, is extremely underrated, 825 00:55:33.719 --> 00:55:40.119 that wide receiver room. I like Marvin Mims, I like Theayley. 826 00:55:41.760 --> 00:55:45.000 They just locked up Courtland Sutton for the near future. 827 00:55:46.880 --> 00:55:51.480 And then and I think any offense led by Sean Payton. 828 00:55:52.599 --> 00:55:55.119 I'm not necessarily a fan of Sean Payton, but any 829 00:55:55.199 --> 00:55:58.360 offense led by him is going to be in good hands. 830 00:55:58.599 --> 00:56:01.239 And that's where they're at now. But really, when you 831 00:56:01.239 --> 00:56:06.400 think about the Denver Broncos, it's about their defense. You know, 832 00:56:06.480 --> 00:56:08.559 we know how good that front seven is. They've got 833 00:56:08.679 --> 00:56:13.360 Zach Allen and Nick Benito up there. They add Greenlaw 834 00:56:13.400 --> 00:56:16.559 from the forty nine ers, they get Whufonga, They've got 835 00:56:16.599 --> 00:56:18.840 PS two who, in my opinion, who is the best 836 00:56:18.880 --> 00:56:22.519 corner in the NFL. They are one of the best 837 00:56:22.519 --> 00:56:28.639 defenses in all of football. And what is it that 838 00:56:28.679 --> 00:56:34.840 they drafted out of Texas in the first round, Jeremy. 839 00:56:36.360 --> 00:56:37.960 The Texans, Oh Baron. 840 00:56:39.119 --> 00:56:43.320 They got Jaday Barron, who was great value for them 841 00:56:43.400 --> 00:56:46.159 for the twentieth overall pick, and I think him and 842 00:56:46.239 --> 00:56:49.320 PS two are going to be a really good duo 843 00:56:49.760 --> 00:56:54.440 back there for the foreseeable future. So I still have 844 00:56:54.480 --> 00:56:58.800 the Chiefs winning that division. I have Denver taking that 845 00:56:58.880 --> 00:57:02.519 next step is to where I feel like if they 846 00:57:02.559 --> 00:57:05.079 go ten and seven again, I feel like it's a 847 00:57:05.159 --> 00:57:10.119 letdown for them. I have them at around eleven wins. 848 00:57:10.920 --> 00:57:15.119 And with the Chargers, they were one of these surprise 849 00:57:15.159 --> 00:57:18.760 teams last offseason. Jim Harball, Joe Horst. They did a 850 00:57:18.800 --> 00:57:22.079 great job doing what they could do with that roster, 851 00:57:22.159 --> 00:57:26.159 getting into the playoffs in year one. Fortunately Justin Herbert 852 00:57:26.159 --> 00:57:30.880 fell apart in that playoff game through four interceptions against Texans. 853 00:57:31.840 --> 00:57:34.840 I do like the Quinn the Normally I don't like 854 00:57:34.960 --> 00:57:38.400 drafting running backs early, especially in the first round, but 855 00:57:38.559 --> 00:57:41.280 the Quinn Shawn Judkins pick will I feel like it 856 00:57:41.360 --> 00:57:44.480 is a good pick for them. You had Lad McConkie 857 00:57:44.480 --> 00:57:46.920 who had a great year and is looking to take 858 00:57:46.960 --> 00:57:51.960 that next step. You've got Keenan Allen back in the fold. 859 00:57:52.039 --> 00:57:54.320 While he is older, while he's not the wide receiver 860 00:57:54.400 --> 00:57:57.400 that he once was, he still is a reliable piece. 861 00:57:57.559 --> 00:58:02.320 And and the crazy part of it is this, they 862 00:58:02.360 --> 00:58:05.360 traded Keenan Allen for I think like a fourth round pick. 863 00:58:06.840 --> 00:58:08.960 They used that fourth round pick to move up. I 864 00:58:09.000 --> 00:58:11.000 just saw this today. They used that fourth round pick 865 00:58:11.039 --> 00:58:14.960 to move up and get lad mcconkeye in the second 866 00:58:15.039 --> 00:58:19.880 round last year, and now you bring him back. So 867 00:58:20.760 --> 00:58:23.480 it really fell in favor for them. That was That's 868 00:58:23.519 --> 00:58:28.159 a good job on their part. The question for them 869 00:58:28.239 --> 00:58:33.480 really is more about their defensive line. In their front seven, 870 00:58:34.079 --> 00:58:38.000 they lose Nick Bosa. They still got Khalil Mack there, 871 00:58:38.039 --> 00:58:41.960 but who else. It's gonna be Khalil Mack and who else. 872 00:58:43.280 --> 00:58:46.000 And you've got some nice pieces in your secondary. You've 873 00:58:46.000 --> 00:58:51.679 got Tarheeb Steell, who was a young defensive back underrated. 874 00:58:52.320 --> 00:58:54.360 Derwin James, if he can stay healthy, is one of 875 00:58:54.400 --> 00:58:59.159 the better safeties in the NFL. So but they did. 876 00:58:59.360 --> 00:59:04.920 Their offense of line took a blow today. Rashaun Slater. 877 00:59:06.079 --> 00:59:11.519 They signed him to a big contract this offseason. Had 878 00:59:11.559 --> 00:59:13.679 a Tormaniscus and he's out for the season, so that 879 00:59:13.800 --> 00:59:16.840 is a big blow for them. And outside of Joe 880 00:59:16.920 --> 00:59:25.639 all their offensive line looks shaky on paper. So they 881 00:59:25.719 --> 00:59:29.400 have the talent on the outside, they have talent in 882 00:59:29.440 --> 00:59:35.679 the secondary. They have the coaching, especially with Harbaugh's er 883 00:59:35.719 --> 00:59:38.320 head coach Jesse Minter is their defensive coordinator, where I 884 00:59:38.320 --> 00:59:40.800 think is gonna be a head coach real soon. It's 885 00:59:40.920 --> 00:59:44.400 just how is their offensive line gonna hold up? And 886 00:59:44.400 --> 00:59:47.519 how is their front seven gonna hold up? And the Raiders, 887 00:59:48.400 --> 00:59:52.679 I think they should be entertaining, especially offensively with the 888 00:59:52.679 --> 00:59:55.519 pieces they have, but I still think it's gonna be 889 00:59:55.559 --> 00:59:58.280 another rebuild year for them. 890 01:00:00.079 --> 01:00:02.440 Okay, Jeremy, your thoughts. 891 01:00:04.320 --> 01:00:05.920 I think it's gonna come down to the Chiefs and 892 01:00:05.960 --> 01:00:08.599 Broncos as well. I don't know who's taking first because 893 01:00:08.599 --> 01:00:11.159 the Broncos have taken a step forward, and I feel 894 01:00:11.199 --> 01:00:13.280 like with some of the losses on the O line 895 01:00:13.400 --> 01:00:16.079 and on the defense, that the Chiefs may regress just 896 01:00:16.119 --> 01:00:19.360 a little bit. So I think it's gonna come down 897 01:00:19.400 --> 01:00:21.920 to them too, and the Chargers and Raiders are gonna 898 01:00:21.920 --> 01:00:24.039 be fighting for last place because I think that's one 899 01:00:24.039 --> 01:00:26.639 of the most competitive divisions in football. You got the 900 01:00:26.639 --> 01:00:29.320 AFC West, the AFC North, and the NFC North. Those 901 01:00:29.320 --> 01:00:32.119 are the three most competitive divisions there are. You might 902 01:00:32.119 --> 01:00:36.000 as well splash in the NFC East because they are 903 01:00:36.119 --> 01:00:38.679 very competitive with the three teams that could contend for 904 01:00:38.760 --> 01:00:41.119 the top. And I say three because I don't think 905 01:00:41.159 --> 01:00:41.920 the Giants can. 906 01:00:44.639 --> 01:00:54.599 Okay, JD your thoughts on the AFC West, man, I'm 907 01:00:54.639 --> 01:00:58.719 coming in for a splash landing into this grease because 908 01:00:58.840 --> 01:00:59.599 I've told. 909 01:00:59.400 --> 01:01:05.400 Y'all one told you already again tonight. The AFC West 910 01:01:06.400 --> 01:01:11.239 is by far the best division in the NFL. Okay, 911 01:01:12.440 --> 01:01:19.159 period period. I think the young ones say because the 912 01:01:19.159 --> 01:01:22.599 one girl on a viral video one time, but the 913 01:01:22.599 --> 01:01:27.559 AFC West. Okay, let's just start out the top. The 914 01:01:27.639 --> 01:01:34.920 Kansas City Chiefs. They won a lot of one possession 915 01:01:35.119 --> 01:01:39.440 games last year. I was literally about to try to 916 01:01:39.480 --> 01:01:42.320 search it real quick to see what the record was 917 01:01:42.599 --> 01:01:48.760 for teams this season. After winning a lot of one 918 01:01:48.960 --> 01:01:56.440 possession games and a gout of feeling, the fans this 919 01:01:56.519 --> 01:02:01.239 year are not gonna be as happy. You just can't 920 01:02:01.280 --> 01:02:04.960 have I mean, luck is not a thing, but you 921 01:02:05.239 --> 01:02:07.960 just can't have that good of luck. Two seasons in 922 01:02:08.000 --> 01:02:12.880 a row. Some might call it being good, some might 923 01:02:12.920 --> 01:02:16.000 call it being great. I don't know. But the Chiefs 924 01:02:16.079 --> 01:02:22.480 last year, I mean they almost lost to my Carolina Panthers. 925 01:02:21.800 --> 01:02:24.079 I mean have lost to us. 926 01:02:25.800 --> 01:02:31.320 They almost lost to the even worse Falcons. Hey, I 927 01:02:31.400 --> 01:02:35.159 was just kidding me. No, you spoke up, so I 928 01:02:35.159 --> 01:02:37.639 had to throw that in there. Listen, Hey, the Falcons, man, 929 01:02:38.679 --> 01:02:42.400 y'all did exactly what I wanted to do in the draft. Anyways, 930 01:02:44.000 --> 01:02:47.760 the Chiefs, though they're man, I don't know if they 931 01:02:47.800 --> 01:02:52.440 can repeat, like I listen, They're still gonna be in 932 01:02:52.480 --> 01:02:57.880 the playoffs, obviously, still gonna be very good. Obviously, no 933 01:02:57.960 --> 01:03:01.599 doubts in my mind about that. And everybody wants to 934 01:03:01.679 --> 01:03:09.199 keep saying Broncos Chiefs, Broncos Chiefs. Well, may I present 935 01:03:09.400 --> 01:03:17.800 to you who's got it better than us? Nobody? And 936 01:03:17.840 --> 01:03:24.559 we can even throw the Keith Sweat song in there. Nobody, Nobody, 937 01:03:24.719 --> 01:03:31.840 baby baby, whatever he says in that song. Nobody's got 938 01:03:31.840 --> 01:03:40.639 it better than the Chargers. Okay, Broncos Chiefs, Chargers, bro 939 01:03:40.880 --> 01:03:43.599 every one of them's gonna have at least nine wins. 940 01:03:45.440 --> 01:03:50.480 Whoever in between wins their three games against one another 941 01:03:51.400 --> 01:03:58.159 or there's six games against one another, bro, that'll settle 942 01:03:58.199 --> 01:04:01.079 the West, and it's gonna be Those are gonna be 943 01:04:01.360 --> 01:04:06.079 fantastic games. And then also, can I give you Pete 944 01:04:06.159 --> 01:04:09.800 Carroll Sorry SMN, I'll throw it right to you. Hold on, 945 01:04:09.880 --> 01:04:15.440 let me finish this one. And so Pete Carroll, hey, 946 01:04:15.880 --> 01:04:18.679 I trust the dude to win six or seven games. 947 01:04:21.800 --> 01:04:25.280 And they've got some talent for the Raiders. They brought 948 01:04:25.719 --> 01:04:30.159 Geno Smith. He's played well as a build him up 949 01:04:30.239 --> 01:04:35.039 quarterback the last few years. So to my main point, 950 01:04:35.119 --> 01:04:40.000 the AFC West best conference in football and Samir take 951 01:04:40.039 --> 01:04:40.400 it away. 952 01:04:41.119 --> 01:04:43.199 Yeah, what I was gonna say is again, I do 953 01:04:43.239 --> 01:04:45.039 think the Chiefs are gonna win. I meant I forgot 954 01:04:45.079 --> 01:04:49.599 to mention this earlier. Big question for them is, well, 955 01:04:49.679 --> 01:04:53.239 the question mark for them is their wide receiver room. 956 01:04:53.400 --> 01:04:58.119 They did bring back Hollywood Brown, and it's not really 957 01:04:58.159 --> 01:05:02.039 about the because they've got some good pieces in that 958 01:05:02.079 --> 01:05:08.320 wide receiver room. It's really about a Ken Xavier Worthy 959 01:05:08.639 --> 01:05:11.280 who showed flashes in year one. Can he take that 960 01:05:11.360 --> 01:05:17.079 next step in year two? B How long will Rashi 961 01:05:17.280 --> 01:05:22.840 Rice be suspended? In case you forgot so, he is 962 01:05:22.880 --> 01:05:27.239 coming off a season ending injury. Number one number two, 963 01:05:28.559 --> 01:05:31.239 there is a good chance and it seems like all 964 01:05:31.280 --> 01:05:33.360 signs are pointing towards it that he is going to 965 01:05:33.400 --> 01:05:37.960 be suspended for multiple games. I think it was summer 966 01:05:38.000 --> 01:05:42.239 twenty twenty four he had the him and Mike I 967 01:05:42.280 --> 01:05:44.400 think four or five of their cars got into they 968 01:05:44.440 --> 01:05:48.119 were racing, got into a big car crash on the highway. 969 01:05:50.679 --> 01:05:53.880 I think a woman in that guy injured taken to 970 01:05:53.920 --> 01:05:58.599 the hospital. So he was charged with speeding or racing 971 01:05:58.679 --> 01:06:03.760 on a highway and causing bodily injury. And based off 972 01:06:03.800 --> 01:06:07.280 of what the NFL has found in how this thing 973 01:06:07.320 --> 01:06:11.039 is going, it seems like he is going to be suspended. Well. 974 01:06:11.159 --> 01:06:13.800 I think it was also the fact that him and 975 01:06:13.920 --> 01:06:16.880 like five other people fled the scene. So how long 976 01:06:16.920 --> 01:06:20.280 is he going to be suspended? Can Xavier Worthy take 977 01:06:20.320 --> 01:06:25.760 that next step? And let's face it, Travis Kelsey's lost 978 01:06:25.800 --> 01:06:28.360 a step. He's not the side end he was a 979 01:06:28.440 --> 01:06:32.840 few years ago. There were rumors that last season was 980 01:06:32.880 --> 01:06:34.880 going to be his last year. Ended up coming back. 981 01:06:35.440 --> 01:06:37.280 But I do think in the next year or so 982 01:06:37.480 --> 01:06:39.239 he is going to hang him up based off of 983 01:06:39.480 --> 01:06:45.400 how this thing is going. Yeah, because like everyone talks 984 01:06:45.440 --> 01:06:52.239 about Mahomes and whatnot, But the driving force for them 985 01:06:52.360 --> 01:06:56.280 the past couple of years has been their defense. Again, 986 01:06:56.480 --> 01:06:59.159 like Denver, it's one of the better defenses in the NFL, 987 01:07:01.119 --> 01:07:04.559 especially their front seven. They have Carl Aaftis, Chris Jones, 988 01:07:04.760 --> 01:07:09.159 Nick Bolton. They did pay Bolton and Carlaftis this past offseason. 989 01:07:10.280 --> 01:07:14.239 They've got Trent McDuffie in their secondary, so I think 990 01:07:14.559 --> 01:07:16.320 their defense is going to be good and ready to go. 991 01:07:16.360 --> 01:07:20.159 They did get a Norman lot From in the draft 992 01:07:20.280 --> 01:07:23.960 out of Tennessee, so I feel like their defense, as 993 01:07:24.000 --> 01:07:26.760 long as Spags is there, is going to be in 994 01:07:26.800 --> 01:07:31.599 good shape. It's just can they put it together offensively? 995 01:07:32.480 --> 01:07:34.719 Not that they haven't been together, but can they get 996 01:07:34.760 --> 01:07:40.760 back to a resemblance of what they were early on 997 01:07:41.360 --> 01:07:43.559 up until twenty three to twenty four. 998 01:07:44.440 --> 01:07:46.719 All right, hey, and while you were talking Samara, we 999 01:07:46.800 --> 01:07:49.280 got this great question. Throw it back to Samari real quick. 1000 01:07:49.400 --> 01:07:52.119 Let's get him. Let's get his live reaction to this question. 1001 01:07:53.559 --> 01:07:56.960 Dude in AFC West has the best offensive line? 1002 01:07:57.159 --> 01:08:02.480 You, sir, go, I still got to go with the Chiefs. Yes, 1003 01:08:02.559 --> 01:08:05.960 they did lose Joe Tuny in that trade with the Bears, 1004 01:08:06.599 --> 01:08:11.679 but they've got uh, let's see, but they do have 1005 01:08:11.960 --> 01:08:14.760 Preed Humphrey, who is with the best center in football. 1006 01:08:15.320 --> 01:08:18.000 They've got Trey Smith, They've got Juwan Taylor, and they 1007 01:08:18.119 --> 01:08:20.960 drafted Josh Simmons out of Ohio State, who apparently is 1008 01:08:21.000 --> 01:08:23.920 off to a great start in training. Can't take that 1009 01:08:23.960 --> 01:08:26.039 with the grain of salt if you want to. But 1010 01:08:26.279 --> 01:08:29.560 still the only question is that left guard and who's 1011 01:08:29.560 --> 01:08:32.720 going to place Joe Tuny. So on paper, I still 1012 01:08:32.760 --> 01:08:33.920 have to go with the Chiefs. 1013 01:08:37.319 --> 01:08:44.319 Okay, you go on paper, I'll go on results. Yeah yeah, 1014 01:08:44.399 --> 01:08:48.800 oh yeah, yeah, Hey that's what. Yeah, So yeah, you 1015 01:08:48.800 --> 01:08:52.439 you take the results and on paper, and I'll take 1016 01:08:53.199 --> 01:08:59.680 a coat. I'll take hardball. I know that he loves 1017 01:08:59.720 --> 01:09:02.640 the on the ball. I know he's got some running 1018 01:09:02.640 --> 01:09:05.119 backs out there for the Chargers, and I know he's 1019 01:09:05.199 --> 01:09:10.479 built up their offensive line, so I would have to go. 1020 01:09:10.920 --> 01:09:14.640 I mean, and the Broncos too, I mean Cole Leek. Really, 1021 01:09:14.680 --> 01:09:17.000 at the end of the day, between in the AFC West, 1022 01:09:18.000 --> 01:09:21.079 which this is what all of this has spurned from, 1023 01:09:22.199 --> 01:09:25.680 is the AFC West Talk says people like to think 1024 01:09:25.720 --> 01:09:32.159 we get off topic. Sometimes that's how conversation works. There's 1025 01:09:32.279 --> 01:09:38.079 ends and flows to it chat, so AFC West, though, 1026 01:09:39.439 --> 01:09:45.560 I gotta go Chargers with the best offensive line, Jeremy, 1027 01:09:46.319 --> 01:09:48.680 Who's got the best offensive line in the as. 1028 01:09:48.600 --> 01:09:51.439 Right now, it's the Broncos. Especially if the Chargers just 1029 01:09:51.520 --> 01:09:53.960 lost for Sean Slater for any length of time in 1030 01:09:54.000 --> 01:09:56.439 the season, you have to say the Broncos because the 1031 01:09:56.439 --> 01:09:59.840 loss of Joe Toney, You'd have to say that it 1032 01:10:00.039 --> 01:10:03.560 that the Chiefs have lost part of the interior. And 1033 01:10:03.600 --> 01:10:06.000 your tackles only play as good as your guard. When 1034 01:10:06.039 --> 01:10:09.039 you lose an all pro guard, that's a downgrade. I 1035 01:10:09.079 --> 01:10:10.159 don't care what you say. 1036 01:10:11.079 --> 01:10:16.680 Yeah, definitely, I'm not. I'm not denying that because again, 1037 01:10:16.720 --> 01:10:20.399 as you mentioned, your tackles are as good as your interior. 1038 01:10:20.600 --> 01:10:23.800 Now with your interior, you still have the best center 1039 01:10:23.840 --> 01:10:26.479 in football. Yeah, you have the best center in football 1040 01:10:26.520 --> 01:10:29.560 in Creed Humphrey. And you've still got Tray Smith, who 1041 01:10:29.680 --> 01:10:34.800 is an above average starter as a guard. 1042 01:10:36.279 --> 01:10:39.279 Right Okay, And I just tweeted it or posted it 1043 01:10:39.319 --> 01:10:42.680 to the chat. Here's what I'll say. I have bad 1044 01:10:42.800 --> 01:10:46.199 luck as a fan. If I pick my team to win, 1045 01:10:46.399 --> 01:10:49.920 they lose. If I pick one offensive line to be 1046 01:10:49.960 --> 01:10:54.479 the best in the division, I'm normally always wrong and 1047 01:10:54.520 --> 01:10:57.239 so none of us pick the Chiefs. So guess what, 1048 01:10:59.239 --> 01:11:02.640 the Chiefs will have the best offensive line in the 1049 01:11:02.680 --> 01:11:07.279 AFC West. And Candy, you've just been back there observing 1050 01:11:07.359 --> 01:11:11.720 all of this. Yeah, I didn't wait to hear your thoughts. 1051 01:11:12.720 --> 01:11:15.159 I'm just you know, taking it all in, guys. It's 1052 01:11:15.199 --> 01:11:19.920 just trying to figure out. I really I think Broncos 1053 01:11:19.920 --> 01:11:25.079 are gonna take it. I think they're Thanks George, thanks 1054 01:11:25.079 --> 01:11:30.079 for tuning in. We appreciate it. But I really think 1055 01:11:30.159 --> 01:11:38.000 that they've taken a step forward, and I think they're hungry. 1056 01:11:39.760 --> 01:11:42.880 And I'm not saying that the Chiefs can't. The Chiefs 1057 01:11:42.920 --> 01:11:44.520 are going to be up there. It is going to 1058 01:11:44.600 --> 01:11:48.039 be a tough division. I'm not sure. 1059 01:11:48.439 --> 01:11:51.720 It's like I said, I was just gonna. 1060 01:11:51.439 --> 01:11:53.840 Say, I'm not sure I'm ready to go there yet. 1061 01:11:54.680 --> 01:11:57.520 I don't know if it's the best there. I mean, 1062 01:11:57.920 --> 01:12:00.600 some of these divisions are very tough. I've always thought 1063 01:12:02.359 --> 01:12:04.479 I was gonna say, the NFC North I think is 1064 01:12:04.600 --> 01:12:05.199 really tough. 1065 01:12:06.079 --> 01:12:11.000 That's a good choice as well. I can't argue against it. Jeremy, 1066 01:12:11.000 --> 01:12:14.000 what do you think hardest division in the NFL? 1067 01:12:14.960 --> 01:12:17.279 I think it's the NFC North, Right, now top to bottom. 1068 01:12:17.479 --> 01:12:20.399 I think it's the most complete division. I think the 1069 01:12:21.039 --> 01:12:22.840 bottom of the division is going to be nine wins 1070 01:12:22.840 --> 01:12:24.279 and the top of the division is going to be 1071 01:12:24.319 --> 01:12:27.199 twelve or thirteen wins, and it all depends on how 1072 01:12:27.239 --> 01:12:29.800 well they do outside of the division. I think every 1073 01:12:29.840 --> 01:12:32.680 team has the chance to split in the division and 1074 01:12:32.840 --> 01:12:34.560 still get to those numbers. 1075 01:12:36.920 --> 01:12:41.279 Well and see, I listen, like, I agree. The AFC 1076 01:12:41.359 --> 01:12:46.600 West I think is equally as like right there, Like 1077 01:12:47.000 --> 01:12:50.880 I literally just said that thirteen wins and nine wins 1078 01:12:51.319 --> 01:12:54.640 between those top three teams, but I said it comes 1079 01:12:54.680 --> 01:12:58.760 down to how the team's play in the division. You're 1080 01:12:58.800 --> 01:13:02.319 absolutely more correct, I think in that regard. When you 1081 01:13:02.359 --> 01:13:07.680 say it's more about the out of the division, I 1082 01:13:07.800 --> 01:13:11.680 wasn't mathing math right there. 1083 01:13:16.159 --> 01:13:18.199 I agree. Okay, so are we kind of done with 1084 01:13:18.239 --> 01:13:21.560 the AFC West. I think it's time. I think it's 1085 01:13:21.600 --> 01:13:26.239 time let's go to the NFC West. And Samir, since 1086 01:13:26.279 --> 01:13:28.920 you started the last one, I'm gonna say, Jeremy, why 1087 01:13:28.920 --> 01:13:33.720 don't you start with the NFC West. 1088 01:13:34.239 --> 01:13:37.119 Well, the NFC West, it's pretty simple. I think it's 1089 01:13:37.159 --> 01:13:41.039 the rams division to lose. I think Arizona and Seattle 1090 01:13:41.079 --> 01:13:43.279 both took a step forward, and I think with the 1091 01:13:43.319 --> 01:13:47.000 injuries and all the losses everywhere on the roster, I 1092 01:13:47.000 --> 01:13:49.239 think the last place team in that division is going 1093 01:13:49.319 --> 01:13:50.800 to end up the forty nine ers again. 1094 01:13:53.640 --> 01:13:57.560 Okay, okay, same your thoughts. 1095 01:13:59.159 --> 01:14:01.800 Oh, I agree, this is the Rams division to lose. 1096 01:14:01.840 --> 01:14:03.640 Not only are they might pick to win the division, 1097 01:14:03.640 --> 01:14:06.319 they are also my pick to come out of the NFC. 1098 01:14:07.640 --> 01:14:09.800 I know Stafford's a little banged up, seems like he'll 1099 01:14:09.800 --> 01:14:13.399 be ready to go week one. Kyron Williams did get paid, 1100 01:14:14.119 --> 01:14:18.439 and while it does seem as if his touches are 1101 01:14:18.479 --> 01:14:21.840 gonna go down given that they've got a Blake KRM 1102 01:14:21.880 --> 01:14:24.159 in their backfield, they just drafted another running back in 1103 01:14:24.199 --> 01:14:26.359 the fourth round this past year. I believe as well. 1104 01:14:26.880 --> 01:14:29.000 It does seem like he is going to be the 1105 01:14:29.159 --> 01:14:31.119 RB one. I don't know if he'll be a workhorse 1106 01:14:31.199 --> 01:14:33.399 back like he has been the last couple of years. 1107 01:14:34.079 --> 01:14:38.840 Offense is still loaded. Pukainakua missed six games, still came 1108 01:14:38.960 --> 01:14:42.560 just ten yards short of another one thousand yard season. 1109 01:14:43.039 --> 01:14:45.760 You add DeVante Adams, who's an upgrade from Cooper Cup 1110 01:14:46.319 --> 01:14:48.760 and then of course you've got Sean McVay. One of 1111 01:14:48.760 --> 01:14:52.199 the best offensive minds, if not the best offensive mind 1112 01:14:52.640 --> 01:15:00.199 in the NFL. Really, there just aren't really a one 1113 01:15:00.760 --> 01:15:09.399 of question marks for them offensively. Now with their defense, 1114 01:15:09.479 --> 01:15:11.479 they do have one of the best defensive lines in 1115 01:15:11.479 --> 01:15:15.920 the NFL Byron Young, Braden Fist, Kobe Turner, the Raindy 1116 01:15:15.960 --> 01:15:18.359 defensive rookie of the Year, Jared Verse. He had four and 1117 01:15:18.359 --> 01:15:22.119 a half sacks last year. I definitely think that number 1118 01:15:22.159 --> 01:15:25.920 will go up in year two. Usually you don't see 1119 01:15:27.079 --> 01:15:30.760 an edge guy breakthrough until about year two or year three. 1120 01:15:31.439 --> 01:15:33.640 I think this is gonna be his breakthrough year where 1121 01:15:33.680 --> 01:15:37.000 you're gonna see him get eight and a half, nine, 1122 01:15:37.399 --> 01:15:40.520 maybe ten sacks. So I do think he's going to 1123 01:15:40.560 --> 01:15:41.800 take that next step. 1124 01:15:44.680 --> 01:15:48.039 Right on, JD, what's your thoughts? 1125 01:15:48.880 --> 01:15:52.439 Okay, So who, Jeremy, who did you pick to win 1126 01:15:52.960 --> 01:15:57.880 the NFC wes the Ram, Ram and Samir. 1127 01:15:58.000 --> 01:16:00.680 They said they both said Rams it was the Rams 1128 01:16:01.039 --> 01:16:02.000 division to lose. 1129 01:16:03.920 --> 01:16:09.319 Well, you say, Candy that curiosity, No, I say the 1130 01:16:09.319 --> 01:16:09.760 same thing. 1131 01:16:09.840 --> 01:16:14.000 I think the Rams are hands down the best team 1132 01:16:14.119 --> 01:16:17.600 out of that division. The forty nine ers have you 1133 01:16:17.640 --> 01:16:25.199 know they've deep digressed lately. Cardinal Seahawks, that's gonna be 1134 01:16:25.479 --> 01:16:28.319 those are two interesting ones. But yeah, I think the 1135 01:16:28.399 --> 01:16:29.119 Rams for sure. 1136 01:16:30.119 --> 01:16:35.600 Okay, so I have no argument to what all of 1137 01:16:35.640 --> 01:16:41.119 a said. Here's what's crazy to me. I think one 1138 01:16:41.159 --> 01:16:47.840 of the biggest questions in the NFC West is was 1139 01:16:47.840 --> 01:16:51.680 it Sam Darnell or was it Kevin O'Connell. 1140 01:16:52.720 --> 01:16:56.279 Yeah, it was Kevin O'Connell. We've already seen it. 1141 01:16:57.479 --> 01:16:58.600 Yeah, we've seen it. 1142 01:17:00.359 --> 01:17:02.720 And made him into a star. Then he takes Sam 1143 01:17:02.800 --> 01:17:05.720 Darnold first year after looking like a bum and made 1144 01:17:05.800 --> 01:17:06.880 him into a star again. 1145 01:17:07.319 --> 01:17:09.199 And yeah, and I'll tell you what if he does 1146 01:17:09.239 --> 01:17:13.399 it again with JJ McCarthy this year. I'm right, I'm 1147 01:17:13.479 --> 01:17:17.119 right there with you. So, but that's that's the question 1148 01:17:17.239 --> 01:17:22.039 though for the NFC West, was it was it O'Connell 1149 01:17:22.119 --> 01:17:27.479 or was it Donald? Because the Seahawks they can make 1150 01:17:27.520 --> 01:17:32.840 things really interesting. The forty nine ers, I don't like 1151 01:17:32.920 --> 01:17:37.399 everything they've lost. Well, just Son brought Bertie to a 1152 01:17:37.399 --> 01:17:41.920 big contract and then you get rid of everybody. Yeah, 1153 01:17:42.000 --> 01:17:47.560 ain't got rid of Yeah, not sure about him. No, 1154 01:17:47.680 --> 01:17:50.000 But I feel like this is the type year where 1155 01:17:50.560 --> 01:17:53.920 in Arizona or a Seattle can sneak up. 1156 01:17:54.359 --> 01:17:57.880 I got to the Bolsa Brothers, the one that played 1157 01:17:57.920 --> 01:17:59.800 for the Chargers. Isn't he now a bill and help 1158 01:17:59.880 --> 01:18:02.840 for the season because he got hurt already in OTAs, 1159 01:18:03.680 --> 01:18:06.880 he's no longer a Charger because the other Bosa still 1160 01:18:06.920 --> 01:18:08.720 plays in San Francisco. 1161 01:18:09.760 --> 01:18:13.319 Ill they had joined forces. 1162 01:18:14.439 --> 01:18:16.720 I know, I know he's out for a significant amount 1163 01:18:16.720 --> 01:18:17.000 of time. 1164 01:18:18.279 --> 01:18:20.439 So we are Joey or Nick. 1165 01:18:22.199 --> 01:18:24.039 Nick is with the forty nine ers. 1166 01:18:24.680 --> 01:18:26.159 So Nick's with the forty nine. 1167 01:18:26.079 --> 01:18:31.920 Ers, So we need to Joey Joe if I remember right. 1168 01:18:32.119 --> 01:18:40.319 Yeah, as his last listed team. Yeah, seven twenty thousand 1169 01:18:40.359 --> 01:18:41.680 dollars salary. 1170 01:18:42.239 --> 01:18:45.760 I love it means he goes, but he's not clutch 1171 01:18:45.800 --> 01:18:48.920 when it matters. Perfect fit for the Vikings that coaches. 1172 01:18:50.560 --> 01:18:50.680 Here. 1173 01:18:50.800 --> 01:18:53.720 Yeah, I know, Samir. Sorry real quick, but here's what 1174 01:18:53.760 --> 01:18:57.119 I know. I know if I type my name in 1175 01:18:57.159 --> 01:19:00.800 to a search engine that you I won't find out 1176 01:19:01.119 --> 01:19:06.319 that I'm six foot five. I am one point nine 1177 01:19:06.479 --> 01:19:12.920 five six meters two hundred and eighty pounds or one 1178 01:19:13.000 --> 01:19:17.399 hundred and twenty seven kilograms. I play defensive end and 1179 01:19:17.520 --> 01:19:21.920 right defensive end. I was born on July eleventh, nineteen 1180 01:19:22.039 --> 01:19:27.880 ninety five, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I make seven hundred 1181 01:19:27.880 --> 01:19:32.000 and twenty thousand dollars a year, and my one parent 1182 01:19:32.199 --> 01:19:36.920 is John Bosa, and I went to Saint Thomas Aquinas 1183 01:19:37.399 --> 01:19:41.760 High School in Florida. So I mean, at least you 1184 01:19:41.800 --> 01:19:45.039 can look up Joey Bosa and you can find out 1185 01:19:45.079 --> 01:19:52.119 all that out about him. Not that bad of a gig, right, Jeremy, 1186 01:19:52.119 --> 01:19:52.600 that's right? 1187 01:19:53.119 --> 01:19:53.359 Right? 1188 01:19:54.800 --> 01:19:56.720 Anyways, to me, go ahead, what were you about to say? 1189 01:19:57.520 --> 01:20:01.760 Yeah, definitely, I'm gonna do some on the forty nine ers. 1190 01:20:02.199 --> 01:20:02.760 I feel like. 1191 01:20:03.520 --> 01:20:06.359 You're all out on the forty nine ers. 1192 01:20:07.279 --> 01:20:11.680 No, I'm not all out. It's actually the opposite. So 1193 01:20:11.800 --> 01:20:14.520 they did lose Green Mall. They did louse Hufanga both 1194 01:20:14.560 --> 01:20:17.520 to Denver, as we mentioned, but I did like what 1195 01:20:17.560 --> 01:20:20.479 they did in the draft. They got Mike hil Williams 1196 01:20:20.680 --> 01:20:23.920 Alfred Collins to get some youth up front in their 1197 01:20:23.920 --> 01:20:29.159 defensive line. Deebo Samuel is gone to Washington. Brandon ni 1198 01:20:29.239 --> 01:20:32.560 Yuk is rehabbing and coming off from a tourney. Acl 1199 01:20:33.279 --> 01:20:35.880 Based off of what John Lynch mentioned earlier, it is 1200 01:20:36.039 --> 01:20:38.680 likely he is going to be inactive for Week one. 1201 01:20:39.560 --> 01:20:45.840 George Kittle is getting older now. Ricky Piersall second year 1202 01:20:45.880 --> 01:20:49.840 wide receiver. In case you guys don't remember he was 1203 01:20:49.840 --> 01:20:54.079 the one who was shot unfortunately before his rookie year 1204 01:20:54.239 --> 01:20:55.880 in San Francisco last year. 1205 01:20:56.239 --> 01:20:57.640 Yeah, Piers All, Now. 1206 01:20:57.960 --> 01:21:02.039 Yeah, the question is can and he developed? Can he 1207 01:21:02.199 --> 01:21:05.560 take that next step? And how is Brandon? Are you 1208 01:21:05.600 --> 01:21:10.239 gonna look rehabbing that torn acl Christian McCaffrey, this is 1209 01:21:10.239 --> 01:21:14.680 his third career season ending injury, and he's got a 1210 01:21:14.680 --> 01:21:19.239 lot of mileage on him. He's had multiple lower body 1211 01:21:19.279 --> 01:21:22.000 injury injuries as well that has caused him to miss 1212 01:21:22.039 --> 01:21:26.239 a significant amount of time. It's pardon reason why the 1213 01:21:26.279 --> 01:21:30.520 Carolina Panthers ended up letting him go a few years ago. 1214 01:21:31.399 --> 01:21:34.760 How is he gonna look at twenty nine? Going into 1215 01:21:34.880 --> 01:21:38.479 year nine with a lot of mileage? Brock Purdy got 1216 01:21:38.479 --> 01:21:46.199 fifty million. That offensive line is is older now. With 1217 01:21:46.319 --> 01:21:51.159 that being said, even with all of that, I just 1218 01:21:51.319 --> 01:21:55.800 don't think you can count out a Kyle Shanahan led 1219 01:21:55.840 --> 01:22:00.319 team because they're because they're gonna be coached well in 1220 01:22:00.399 --> 01:22:06.680 every game. Now, Seattle, I don't know. I'm just not 1221 01:22:06.800 --> 01:22:14.680 as high on Seattle as some people are. You make 1222 01:22:14.720 --> 01:22:18.279 the move from DK Metcalf, you're bringing Cooper Cup so 1223 01:22:18.439 --> 01:22:22.720 Jackson Smith and jigba is clearly the wide receiver one there. 1224 01:22:23.439 --> 01:22:26.439 But I just don't see how Cooper Cup is an 1225 01:22:26.520 --> 01:22:32.159 upgrade from DK Metcalf right now in twenty twenty five. 1226 01:22:33.319 --> 01:22:35.800 It's not that he's an upgrade from DK Metcalf, which 1227 01:22:35.880 --> 01:22:37.960 DK Metcalf was more of a head case than a 1228 01:22:38.239 --> 01:22:41.760 consistent player. He'd have five games where he'd have well 1229 01:22:41.800 --> 01:22:43.840 over one hundred and fifty yards, but he'd have seven 1230 01:22:43.880 --> 01:22:47.520 games where he'd disappear because he's a head case. That 1231 01:22:47.720 --> 01:22:52.960 is Cooper Cup. Cooper Cup, he's consistent, He's gonna do 1232 01:22:53.039 --> 01:22:54.720 what he has to do as long as he's on 1233 01:22:54.760 --> 01:22:56.840 the field to get the ball and run after the catch. 1234 01:22:59.479 --> 01:23:05.319 Yeah. Now my question for them is up front their 1235 01:23:05.359 --> 01:23:08.079 offensive line. It seems like it's been an issue for years, 1236 01:23:08.840 --> 01:23:14.880 and I think it that, along with maybe Ryan grow 1237 01:23:15.039 --> 01:23:19.119 not being the best NFL level offensive coordinator, led to 1238 01:23:19.159 --> 01:23:22.159 some of their offensive struggles last year. So they did 1239 01:23:22.239 --> 01:23:26.000 draft an offensive lineman early. Let's see how that pans out. 1240 01:23:26.079 --> 01:23:28.800 But I'm just not as high on Seattle as I 1241 01:23:28.840 --> 01:23:32.279 am on the other teams in that division. And also, 1242 01:23:32.359 --> 01:23:36.279 as you mentioned, Southern Friday Sam Donald. They paid him 1243 01:23:36.279 --> 01:23:40.399 a boatload of money. Was it him or was it 1244 01:23:40.479 --> 01:23:42.600 Kevin O'Connell, and I think we're gonna find out. 1245 01:23:44.560 --> 01:23:48.319 Oh, yeah, yeah, we're gonna find out. That's the beautiful 1246 01:23:48.319 --> 01:23:51.680 thing about it. We won't find out in the preseason though, 1247 01:23:52.840 --> 01:23:56.319 to tie it back to our earlier conversation, we won't 1248 01:23:56.359 --> 01:24:01.119 know Sam Donald is back to being a great quarterback 1249 01:24:01.239 --> 01:24:07.520 until the regular season. And so, Candy NFC West, did 1250 01:24:07.520 --> 01:24:09.439 you have more to say about it? 1251 01:24:10.600 --> 01:24:13.079 No? No, I I was pretty good with it. I 1252 01:24:13.199 --> 01:24:16.079 you know, charge, I agreed with the panel that I 1253 01:24:16.079 --> 01:24:20.359 think the Chargers are gonna take it. Ah. San Francisco 1254 01:24:20.439 --> 01:24:22.800 is on the bottom, and it'll just be. 1255 01:24:23.439 --> 01:24:26.439 Hol up Lake time out rewant you said chargers, Candy, 1256 01:24:26.600 --> 01:24:28.520 I know there's two l A teams, But. 1257 01:24:28.479 --> 01:24:29.840 Oh did I say chargers? 1258 01:24:30.000 --> 01:24:32.880 Did I say that? You did? Just say the Chargers 1259 01:24:32.880 --> 01:24:33.640 are gonna take it? 1260 01:24:35.000 --> 01:24:37.319 Oh, I did not mean the Chargers are gonna take it. 1261 01:24:37.359 --> 01:24:38.640 The Chargers aren't taking anything. 1262 01:24:39.119 --> 01:24:44.279 And I'm sorry it's so awkward to correct people sometimes, 1263 01:24:44.319 --> 01:24:48.000 But yeah, she did say that, right, Samir, Yes. 1264 01:24:48.319 --> 01:24:51.600 I meant I meant the Rams. 1265 01:24:51.159 --> 01:24:57.479 And we knew because we knew right.

Drake Baldwin on two home runs, another 1335 01:28:58.520 --> 01:29:04.600 great game for him. What else the Hawks? Seems like 1336 01:29:04.640 --> 01:29:07.800 Trey Young and the Hawks are all in yet on 1337 01:29:07.840 --> 01:29:10.439 an extension. Could be a numbers thing, could be a 1338 01:29:10.479 --> 01:29:12.319 way out seat three and see how the season plays 1339 01:29:12.319 --> 01:29:17.119 out before giving him that max deal. And with the 1340 01:29:17.159 --> 01:29:19.319 Atlanta Falcons, they are in the still in the thick 1341 01:29:19.359 --> 01:29:23.640 of training camp. James Pearce Junior is still standing out. 1342 01:29:24.000 --> 01:29:28.560 Jalen Walker nursing that hamstring injury.

Xavier Watts, 1344 01:29:33.039 --> 01:29:36.399 it seems like that young defensive nucleus is going to 1345 01:29:36.439 --> 01:29:39.199 see a lot of playing time tomorrow. Who won't be 1346 01:29:39.239 --> 01:29:43.880 playing tomorrow? Raheem Morris announced Wednesday Michael Pendix Junior will 1347 01:29:43.880 --> 01:29:47.000 not play and neither will Kirk Cousins. We will see 1348 01:29:47.039 --> 01:29:51.680 what happens next week. I've suggested that the starters do play, 1349 01:29:51.840 --> 01:29:54.239 get some reps in the preseason, get some feet under 1350 01:29:54.279 --> 01:29:56.800 them so they don't come out rusty week one in 1351 01:29:56.880 --> 01:30:00.520 their division game against the Bucks. And that is my town. 1352 01:30:03.399 --> 01:30:08.079 Okay, you heard me we're doing my town. You want 1353 01:30:08.079 --> 01:30:10.159 to talk about your town. 1354 01:30:11.439 --> 01:30:14.079 I know that everybody is freaking out in Detroit with 1355 01:30:14.119 --> 01:30:17.279 the injuries we have, But we had Taylor Decker, Amik Robertson, 1356 01:30:17.319 --> 01:30:19.720 and Kirby Joseph all returned to practice this week as 1357 01:30:19.760 --> 01:30:22.840 well as I own see Vaki, second year running back. 1358 01:30:23.520 --> 01:30:27.079 We also had a big injury, but it was a 1359 01:30:27.119 --> 01:30:30.840 depth player because he hadn't broken the starting roster yet. 1360 01:30:30.960 --> 01:30:35.159 In Nis Reichstraw, he underwent shoulder surgery yesterday and has 1361 01:30:35.199 --> 01:30:38.840 been placed on the season ending I are the Tigers, 1362 01:30:38.880 --> 01:30:41.439 on the other hand, are floundering, and we know this, 1363 01:30:42.119 --> 01:30:46.039 but slumps happen. That's the game of the game when 1364 01:30:46.039 --> 01:30:51.079 you got one hundred and sixty two games to play, That's. 1365 01:30:50.880 --> 01:30:54.159 Correct, JD. 1366 01:30:54.560 --> 01:31:05.319 That So in my town, ladies and gentlemen, the let 1367 01:31:05.319 --> 01:31:07.199 me see if I can pause this video real quick. 1368 01:31:07.239 --> 01:31:10.039 That's not playing for you all yet. On on one second, 1369 01:31:10.079 --> 01:31:15.800 let me get this under control, all right. So in 1370 01:31:15.840 --> 01:31:20.760 my town, I feel like my camera just froze. Can 1371 01:31:20.800 --> 01:31:21.479 you still see me? 1372 01:31:22.399 --> 01:31:22.640 Yep? 1373 01:31:27.039 --> 01:31:31.920 Well, either way, So in my town, a Little League 1374 01:31:32.079 --> 01:31:37.720 World Series team finally made the playoffs to the Little 1375 01:31:37.800 --> 01:31:46.279 League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Nice, I say, finally, 1376 01:31:47.279 --> 01:31:52.520 it's happened before, but it's far and few between. These 1377 01:31:52.520 --> 01:31:59.880 guys beat the defending champions in comeback fashion in this 1378 01:32:00.119 --> 01:32:08.520 Southeast Division just to make it to williams Sport. But 1379 01:32:09.600 --> 01:32:14.840 what I wanted to show you, guys is were you 1380 01:32:15.000 --> 01:32:22.279 aware that there is sign stealing and cheating according to 1381 01:32:22.359 --> 01:32:26.520 the rules going on in the Little League World Series? 1382 01:32:30.359 --> 01:32:33.720 You've got it up. Yep. This is a long video, 1383 01:32:34.279 --> 01:32:36.600 so y'all have to bear with me. I am going 1384 01:32:36.680 --> 01:32:40.199 to try to fast forward it a little bit. But 1385 01:32:40.399 --> 01:32:46.359 here we are. We've got Oklahoma and Texas West runners 1386 01:32:46.399 --> 01:32:51.920 at first and second. The runner at second base is 1387 01:32:52.079 --> 01:33:04.199 the key. Y'all pay attention and watch the video swinging 1388 01:33:04.239 --> 01:33:21.920 a miss, caught a ball. Like I said, we're gonna 1389 01:33:21.960 --> 01:33:23.960 fast forward through some of this in a minute, but 1390 01:33:24.079 --> 01:33:36.840 we've got drama. Second base umpire has got problems. What 1391 01:33:36.920 --> 01:33:39.720 are y'all think is going on right now? You tell me. 1392 01:33:43.399 --> 01:33:46.640 He must be telling he must have seen something. 1393 01:33:49.119 --> 01:33:54.039 At second base is tipping. Here we go, he's sicking 1394 01:33:54.680 --> 01:33:58.119 the batter the pitch and so now here's the coach 1395 01:33:59.119 --> 01:34:03.880 and there you go. That was the move you saw him, 1396 01:34:04.039 --> 01:34:06.399 and the coach is like, man, he's just scratching himself. 1397 01:34:09.039 --> 01:34:16.479 Are you kidding me? We're teaching little league players had 1398 01:34:16.520 --> 01:34:17.279 to cheat. 1399 01:34:18.840 --> 01:34:20.560 Houston Astros all over again? 1400 01:34:21.079 --> 01:34:26.399 Yes, all right, And the rule was implemented in twenty eighteen, 1401 01:34:27.800 --> 01:34:30.960 just after the Astros scandal. So now look at the kid. 1402 01:34:32.399 --> 01:34:34.319 He's got his arms behind his back like, oh, I 1403 01:34:34.319 --> 01:34:41.880 ain't doing nothing, I ain't doing nothing. Doesn't end up 1404 01:34:41.960 --> 01:34:46.880 mattering here, strikes him out. Anyways, All right, let's fast 1405 01:34:46.920 --> 01:34:53.760 forward just a bit. We got a walk. It's a 1406 01:34:53.840 --> 01:35:01.479 runner at first. Oh, we're gonna have a hit batsman. 1407 01:35:01.560 --> 01:35:07.319 Guess what runner at second base? Here we go again, 1408 01:35:15.239 --> 01:35:19.239 all right, walk the loaded still runner at second base? 1409 01:35:20.760 --> 01:35:32.079 Wait till what this kid does? Y'all watch this? And then, 1410 01:35:32.119 --> 01:35:36.079 of course this is courtesy of John Boy Media. Great 1411 01:35:36.159 --> 01:35:46.479 videos he does. But here we go, drama. Wait till 1412 01:35:46.560 --> 01:35:50.199 y'all see what this kid does. Have you ever been 1413 01:35:50.239 --> 01:35:55.319 a picture before? Yep? He does the warm up signal 1414 01:35:56.279 --> 01:36:02.680 for a fastball. And here's my question. Are they seeing 1415 01:36:02.760 --> 01:36:08.960 the catchers signals or are they seeing the picture's hand? 1416 01:36:11.359 --> 01:36:16.119 And oh, here we go, hands behind his back. Look, 1417 01:36:16.159 --> 01:36:17.119 but you can see him. 1418 01:36:17.079 --> 01:36:20.680 Right there, right yeah. 1419 01:36:19.760 --> 01:36:24.439 He literally says it, so could he see the catcher 1420 01:36:24.560 --> 01:36:29.520 or could he see the picture? But at the end 1421 01:36:29.520 --> 01:36:33.880 of the day, don't teach your kids to cheat, but 1422 01:36:33.960 --> 01:36:39.520 also don't teach, like teach the picture to not tip 1423 01:36:39.560 --> 01:36:44.560 his pitches. And so that is where I'm at right now, y'all. 1424 01:36:44.600 --> 01:36:47.079 With the Little League World Series and Candy, we can 1425 01:36:47.159 --> 01:36:52.359 remove that.

But they 1432 01:37:19.439 --> 01:37:24.479 started chanting in the stadium. To Caine's comment, here, when 1433 01:37:24.560 --> 01:37:29.000 did the parents storm the field? If you go look 1434 01:37:29.079 --> 01:37:32.560 up the video, it's on my ex Listen, go look 1435 01:37:32.600 --> 01:37:37.520 it up. But after they threw out the coach, they 1436 01:37:37.560 --> 01:37:44.279 started chanting something about we're not cheaters or something, and 1437 01:37:44.319 --> 01:37:47.239 then the PA announcer came on. It was like, we 1438 01:37:47.319 --> 01:37:50.800 will not do that, And then the other team like cheered, 1439 01:37:51.520 --> 01:37:56.079 and so yeah, it was a whole org deal about 1440 01:37:56.079 --> 01:37:58.600 this whole thing with the Little League World Series. 1441 01:38:00.079 --> 01:38:01.840 What was it that they used to say? Who was 1442 01:38:01.880 --> 01:38:03.800 it that said it? If you ain't cheating, you're trying, 1443 01:38:03.880 --> 01:38:04.520 you ain't trying. 1444 01:38:05.039 --> 01:38:06.560 Yeah, if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying. 1445 01:38:09.119 --> 01:38:12.359 Everybody's trying to get an edge, and they thought they 1446 01:38:12.399 --> 01:38:15.720 figured it out but got caught. So it wasn't an 1447 01:38:15.840 --> 01:38:18.000 edge all right. 1448 01:38:18.840 --> 01:38:21.560 Well, in the fact that they had two different signals 1449 01:38:21.560 --> 01:38:25.479 for it, apparently because the one kid got in trouble 1450 01:38:25.479 --> 01:38:29.600 for scratching his leg and the other kid got in 1451 01:38:29.640 --> 01:38:34.680 trouble for literally doing the picture's motion. But nonetheless, I mean, 1452 01:38:34.840 --> 01:38:41.479 the coach got ejected. The coach got ejected. I don't 1453 01:38:41.520 --> 01:38:43.760 know who ended up winning the team winning the game, 1454 01:38:44.439 --> 01:38:52.199 but I know South Carolina IRMO South Carolina down near Mcgamecocks, 1455 01:38:52.439 --> 01:38:58.399 they are represented, baby. So listen, somebody tried to tell 1456 01:38:58.439 --> 01:39:02.319 me today that they didn't care about the Little League 1457 01:39:02.359 --> 01:39:06.359 World Series. And they told me they didn't care about 1458 01:39:06.399 --> 01:39:12.119 a woman being an umpire in Major League Baseball. And 1459 01:39:12.199 --> 01:39:15.920 you know what, I bet you guys don't care about 1460 01:39:15.960 --> 01:39:20.279 the NFL either. But we just made a whole show 1461 01:39:20.359 --> 01:39:25.960 about it. So you know what, kick rocks or hit 1462 01:39:26.000 --> 01:39:28.000 subscribe and be here next time. 1463 01:39:30.920 --> 01:39:35.119 So I'm gonna swing it back. Since most of you 1464 01:39:35.199 --> 01:39:38.760 did my town, I didn't do my town. I have 1465 01:39:38.840 --> 01:39:41.680 to brag because I don't get this opportunity to do 1466 01:39:41.720 --> 01:39:44.720 it very often. But the Milwaukee Brewers, sorry Samir, we 1467 01:39:45.399 --> 01:39:49.560 kind of swept you guys. Yeah, but we've got the 1468 01:39:49.600 --> 01:39:52.880 best record in baseball and that is not something that 1469 01:39:53.119 --> 01:39:57.800 you normally here. With the Milwaukee Brewers. It's great, don't 1470 01:39:57.840 --> 01:40:03.199 get me wrong. They're playing really good ball. I hope 1471 01:40:03.199 --> 01:40:06.279 they continue to play really ball, great ball because it's 1472 01:40:06.319 --> 01:40:10.680 not about being hot now, it's about being hot at 1473 01:40:10.680 --> 01:40:13.800 the right time, which is near the playoffs. Hopefully they 1474 01:40:13.840 --> 01:40:18.359 can keep this momentum going. They just look like they're 1475 01:40:18.399 --> 01:40:22.039 having fun, and that's one of the things that a 1476 01:40:22.079 --> 01:40:25.000 lot of them have been interviewed and they were talked about, 1477 01:40:25.039 --> 01:40:28.640 and they're just having fun and they're just a you know, 1478 01:40:29.000 --> 01:40:34.880 a great group of guys. But that's really what's happening. 1479 01:40:34.920 --> 01:40:37.920 I mean, obviously there hasn't been much. There's still the 1480 01:40:37.960 --> 01:40:41.279 whole where's Jiannie is? Joanna's gonna stay in Milwaukee. Is 1481 01:40:41.319 --> 01:40:46.640 he not gonna stay? Obviously, the Packers have started their 1482 01:40:46.680 --> 01:40:51.439 training camp. They play this weekend too. They're saying they're 1483 01:40:51.439 --> 01:40:55.600 gonna start their starters because we are playing the New 1484 01:40:55.680 --> 01:40:59.279 York Jets, and Aaron Glenn said he's gonna start his starters, 1485 01:40:59.399 --> 01:41:04.840 so it'll be interesting. I don't know how long they'll 1486 01:41:04.840 --> 01:41:08.159 stay in. I mean, preseason is what we've We've discussed 1487 01:41:08.159 --> 01:41:14.399 this to great lengths. How long will they keep them in? 1488 01:41:14.640 --> 01:41:18.680 I don't know that means to be seen, but we 1489 01:41:18.760 --> 01:41:22.760 have some new players that I'm interested to see and 1490 01:41:22.840 --> 01:41:28.279 how it goes. So anything else, JD, did you get 1491 01:41:28.279 --> 01:41:30.079 your what's happening in your town? 1492 01:41:33.960 --> 01:41:34.159 Um? 1493 01:41:34.840 --> 01:41:35.279 He's here? 1494 01:41:35.479 --> 01:41:35.560 No? 1495 01:41:35.720 --> 01:41:42.640 Yeah, I muted, sorry, but yeah. I tied it in 1496 01:41:42.880 --> 01:41:47.279 with the Little League World Series, Okay. And then the 1497 01:41:47.399 --> 01:41:52.279 other thing I'll say is good luck to Shedor Sanders. 1498 01:41:53.720 --> 01:41:58.640 And when I say that, I mean it sincerely, because 1499 01:41:59.800 --> 01:42:05.239 he'll be going against the Carolina Panthers. Number one defense 1500 01:42:06.479 --> 01:42:11.520 Dave Canalis has said the starters are playing the first 1501 01:42:11.560 --> 01:42:17.319 half of the preseason game against the Browns. So Sardoor Sanders, 1502 01:42:18.640 --> 01:42:26.199 if you're gonna come out and perform against a terrible terrible, terrible, terrible, 1503 01:42:27.279 --> 01:42:33.840 potentially Carolina Panthers defense. You might have a shot at 1504 01:42:33.880 --> 01:42:38.079 being on the roster for the Cleveland Browns, but as 1505 01:42:38.119 --> 01:42:40.479 of now, they don't have anybody else that's gonna play. 1506 01:42:41.079 --> 01:42:48.399 Joe Flacco, no, Kenny Pickett hurt, Dylan Gabriel hurt, and 1507 01:42:48.439 --> 01:42:56.159 then they just signed Tyler Huntley. So obviously Door Sanders 1508 01:42:56.199 --> 01:43:00.000 is starting. So good luck to him against my home 1509 01:43:00.159 --> 01:43:05.119 town Carolina Panthers, and good luck to my hometown Hermo 1510 01:43:05.600 --> 01:43:09.880 Little League World Seria scene. They're not really my town, 1511 01:43:10.039 --> 01:43:15.399 but by golly, they're my state, and that's what matters. 1512 01:43:15.880 --> 01:43:23.279 There. You go any other topics anybody wants to cover. No, 1513 01:43:23.520 --> 01:43:25.319 I think we did a pretty good job. We're gonna 1514 01:43:25.359 --> 01:43:27.800 go around the horn.
