Speaker 1: Hey, you want some coary here, want some co hosts
Speaker 1: who actually are and you can tell that they actually
Speaker 1: have some type of chemistry going on.
Speaker 2: Heye, cloud chasing. That's cool. I actually got something in
Speaker 2: mind for you. So keep listening.
Speaker 3: You'll find out.
Speaker 2: This is a Touchdowns and Tangents.
Speaker 4: Is your weekly spot or NFL takes culturally concise and
Speaker 4: in context for the culture. What's up, good people, It's
Speaker 4: your Thursday night spot for NFL takes topical tangents and
Speaker 4: concise commentary for the culture. It's Pete d. Camrio on
Speaker 4: the Mic with Kenneth Frank James. Can't multitask Barry, I
Speaker 4: definitely can. That's crazy. All right, well make your selection.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: For those of you who don't know.
Speaker 4: What season, especially fucking over not attendant talk about this week.
Speaker 4: I mean, we'll get more into the draft than the
Speaker 4: combine over the next few weeks, but really we just
Speaker 4: have to talk about that abomination that was the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4: I mean, soch far them talk at least around our
Speaker 4: house has been the extracurricular activities, the big games, the food,
Speaker 4: all that stuff, and of course Kendrick Lamar's half team
Speaker 4: performance has been analyzed by every single person on social media,
Speaker 4: because really the game was shit. I mean the Chiefs
Speaker 4: didn't score until like the fourth quarter, when they were
Speaker 4: already down three scores. They had a white corner and
Speaker 4: do a pick six People out here saying Travis Kelsey's cooked.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what happened with Trump and President Trump?
Speaker 4: President and getting cheers while Taylor Swift was getting boozed.
Speaker 2: So yeah, what a time Kenny thought some role.
Speaker 3: Personally, I'm just uh glad that they let the dudes play,
Speaker 3: and like Howard Roseman is a Hall of Fame GM,
Speaker 3: and I just think what Kevin Moore being the head
Speaker 3: coach of the Saints, It's gonna be very interesting how
Speaker 3: Philly rebuilds that uh that roster.
Speaker 2: Who they decide to let go. Yeah, they have a
Speaker 2: lot of decisions. To me, who retires, who gets traded.
Speaker 4: On sweat? Are all free agents? Grahams free agent? A. J.
Speaker 4: Brown's tripping again, so what it's time to be alive?
Speaker 4: But shout out to Jalen hurts Man. Yeah, it just
Speaker 4: keeps proving people wrong. It's a Super Bowl winning quarterback,
Speaker 4: MVP guy actually help me him up early.
Speaker 2: So yeah, anything else you want to talk about as
Speaker 2: far as the super Bowl, people really don't understand. It's
Speaker 2: kind of crazy.
Speaker 3: People really just don't understand, uh how some of this
Speaker 3: is supposed to play out when.
Speaker 2: It comes to.
Speaker 3: The fan favorite super Bowl. Everybody's mad about ticket prices.
Speaker 3: You chose to go, chose to go and spend your money,
Speaker 3: so you can't really be complaining. I mean that's a
Speaker 3: big deal. Like you get what you pay for. Stop
Speaker 3: complaining about shit. Like if you had fun at the
Speaker 3: super Bowl, you had fun, But like just know the
Speaker 3: price is only going to get higher, so you know,
Speaker 3: people gotta come to stop proplanting about stuff like that.
Speaker 4: I think one of the crazy stories that kind of
Speaker 4: came out that people were talking about, what's the whole
Speaker 4: voodoo stuff that someone was doing on the side of
Speaker 4: the field, like its Louisiana.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: The other crazy part is I think this said Vegas
Speaker 4: made like twenty two million on the game because the
Speaker 4: chief sauce.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean I don't remember any of.
Speaker 4: The super commercials to be honest with you, but I
Speaker 4: was also kind of drunk.
Speaker 3: So that US skinhat commercial was creepy skin had commercial.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't like that at all.
Speaker 3: I know that one kind of kind of ill, kind
Speaker 3: of why are we doing these guys?
Speaker 2: Interesting?
Speaker 4: You don't want to see Beta Villa and Miles Garrett
Speaker 4: on the same d Lin, Damn Jonathan Allen and Vide
Speaker 4: you're at the same age. All right, Well, Kenny and
Speaker 4: I are doing a fantasy draft. As I mentioned earlier,
Speaker 4: I'm the Raiders and uh, he is the I mean
Speaker 4: I'm the Chiefs, He's the Raiders.
Speaker 3: You're the Chargers, bro, I'm the Raiders. You already we
Speaker 3: have to redo this hard way. Why you got like
Speaker 3: four picks?
Speaker 2: I didn't. You definitely did. I did, not having much
Speaker 2: better team than you. Whatever.
Speaker 4: Oh, it just keeps why I somehow switched our teams completely.
Speaker 4: I don't know why you took Joe Thuney in the
Speaker 4: fifth round and Lane Johnson Erroll and hello.
Speaker 2: You king. I know what I'm doing. Damn. I might
Speaker 2: take Derrick Henry and just stack him just to be
Speaker 2: the ayeshole. You have to start him. If you haven't,
Speaker 2: just gets.
Speaker 4: Zach Martin and create an OPO line. I should where
Speaker 4: you got Mike Evans a receiver in a corner, though
Speaker 4: it's hard to cart why. Much like quarterbacks all they're
Speaker 4: all gone already. Literally every capable corner is gone.
Speaker 2: Damn it.
Speaker 4: Someone took fucking Michael Pennix. Yeah they did, those fuckers.
Speaker 2: You're waiting for him too. Yep.
Speaker 3: That's why I don't like this ship, because like they
Speaker 3: take quarterbacks way too high in the draft. Yeah, some
Speaker 3: kill on the board, but all the quarterbacks are going.
Speaker 3: That doesn't make any sense. Jacob's still on the board.
Speaker 3: It's like born Bro fucking still up front. Gonna be
Speaker 3: shitty in the backfield.
Speaker 4: But anything else that we should talk about this week
Speaker 4: as far as trending news topics.
Speaker 2: Not about college football, it's.
Speaker 3: Been pretty quiet pretty much, just Pro Days and the
Speaker 3: Combine coming up. Working had a record twelve dudes get
Speaker 3: invited to the to the Carbine.
Speaker 4: Combine is in what two weeks? Three February twenty seventh, damn,
Speaker 4: what's coming first two weeks? It's coming fast.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: We'll see what happens. The Raiders finalized their coaching staff.
Speaker 4: That was kind of a big thing in the Raider
Speaker 4: Nation world. I think, overall, man, what's a chance you're
Speaker 4: already him? You wanted to switch, You're already him? Anyways,
Speaker 4: thank you always knew I was him. I just wanted
Speaker 4: somebody to get from it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So the Raiders finalized their coaching staff.
Speaker 4: There were a couple holdovers, a couple of people that
Speaker 4: they brought back.
Speaker 2: The dB coach, quarterback coach.
Speaker 4: Both had previously stints with the Silver and Black Pete
Speaker 4: Carroll Rod his sons in. There's a couple of guys
Speaker 4: with some ties on how State. I think the D
Speaker 4: line coach or linebackers coach is tied to the Commanders.
Speaker 2: Joe Philvin's on the squad.
Speaker 4: So overall, just a well rounded coaching staff, a lot
Speaker 4: of different backgrounds, a lot of different schemes. I feel
Speaker 4: like the way this is, I mean, based off of
Speaker 4: what we've seen the Buccaneers do in the past, couple
Speaker 4: of iterations, based off of what we've seen Seattle do
Speaker 4: with Russell Wilson and Juno Smith.
Speaker 2: I think the Raiders are really going.
Speaker 4: To build around a veteran quarterback and then probably draft
Speaker 4: someone in the second to middle rounds and see if
Speaker 4: they can develop him.
Speaker 2: But I think it's gonna come down to Justin Fields.
Speaker 4: I think he makes a lot of sense with all
Speaker 4: state connections and Chip Kelly. Outside of that, I mean
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers. I mean, as much as people want to
Speaker 4: say he's a distraction, I think he had a pretty
Speaker 4: good gear considering what he bounced back from. And then
Speaker 4: after that, I mean you got Jamis, which I mean
Speaker 4: he has ties to the assistant GM. And then you
Speaker 4: got Russell Wilson, which has ties to Pete Carroll Gino Smith,
Speaker 4: which I'm not I don't really want, but I mean
Speaker 4: he'd be better than Gardner Missieu.
Speaker 2: So I don't know.
Speaker 4: Outside of that, man, I think the big the big
Speaker 4: stuff going on with the Rams kind of been uh
Speaker 4: just Cooper cup watch. I mean, people still just he
Speaker 4: sent out a whole message basically saying goodbye to the team,
Speaker 4: doesn't expect to be there. The president, Kevin demof went
Speaker 4: on the radio and was like, you know, like off
Speaker 4: the brakes. We haven't made any decisions yet. Season just ended.
Speaker 4: See what happens. But you know, he told us his position,
Speaker 4: we told him ours, so just kind of have to
Speaker 4: leave it at that for now.
Speaker 2: But you never know what will happen. So that's that.
Speaker 4: And then the Chargers, I mean they have a ton
Speaker 4: of free agents. They got to figure out poon forwarding
Speaker 4: a couple of their receivers. I think one of their
Speaker 4: linemen are all kind of headed towards free agency, so uh,
Speaker 4: they're gonna have to figure that out. And I mean
Speaker 4: the Niners also have a ton of free agents, their
Speaker 4: safety green Law. They just cut the defensive tackle Dee
Speaker 4: Will Samuel's demanded the trade, so there's gonna be a
Speaker 4: lot of movement this offseason. I think, what do you think, Kenny.
Speaker 3: A lot of guys are gonna have to sign if
Speaker 3: they're a team guys or if they want to get paid.
Speaker 3: And I think the Chiefs are definitely gonna lose some guys.
Speaker 3: I don't see how trade Smith doesn't get enough money
Speaker 3: to argue to play tackle because he can play tackle.
Speaker 2: He's six ' six. But we'll see. It was very.
Speaker 4: Interesting, and as I alluded to earlier, I mean, the
Speaker 4: Jet said they're going to move on from Aaron Rodgers. Basically,
Speaker 4: they kind of put their line in the sand and said, hey,
Speaker 4: if you don't stop going on Pat McAfee, if you
Speaker 4: don't go to all camp, you can't be here.
Speaker 2: Rogers said he can't do that.
Speaker 4: Everyone's just been talking about if he's going to retire
Speaker 4: or not, because it's been a real slow news week. Honestly,
Speaker 4: I don't think he's decided yet. I don't think he will.
Speaker 4: I think he played too well to be out there.
Speaker 4: But I also think that if he really doesn't have
Speaker 4: the competitive spirit, he's not gonna do it. But honestly,
Speaker 4: I think he does want to win a few more games,
Speaker 4: so I expect him to be back where he will sign.
Speaker 4: I don't know, might be a situation to where you know,
Speaker 4: it might not come until the middle of the season,
Speaker 4: when there's.
Speaker 2: Kind of a.
Speaker 4: When there's kind of a desperation play, someone gets hurt,
Speaker 4: et cetera.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see what happens.
Speaker 4: Otherwise, outside of that, franchise tag deadline coming up soon, right,
Speaker 4: do you know the day for that, Gunny?
Speaker 2: Did that? Trade deadlines? No tax tags?
Speaker 3: Oh, franchise tags, Yeah, transition. I feel like there's just
Speaker 3: way less fan fait, Like there's.
Speaker 4: No what I'm asking If you know what the date is,
Speaker 4: That's how I'm asking.
Speaker 3: Oh, uh No, I don't know the top of my head.
Speaker 3: But it's definitely like in the next month Aaron Rodgers. Definitely,
Speaker 3: the places he could go would be crazy.
Speaker 2: Did you take the last pick I took Derrick Henry.
Speaker 4: Jeez, he's a ninety ninety. He was so still available
Speaker 4: all this time. Wow, crazy work. I don't really know
Speaker 4: where to go. Kind of filled out my team's identity,
Speaker 4: but I still have a lot of massive holes, so
Speaker 4: it's kind of awkward.
Speaker 3: I think Kevin Byrd was on the Titans, so wa
Speaker 3: was on the Eagles. I think he gets a ring too.
Speaker 2: Damn. That's crazy. Just damn fuck it.
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna take to Higgins. Mhm have a quarterback.
Speaker 4: I have two solid receivers.
Speaker 2: As well.
Speaker 4: Let's see. Josh Jacobs is still on the boarder is crazy?
Speaker 4: Damn sure, I just take a road.
Speaker 2: It's hurt. If he gets hurt, you're gonna be so mad.
Speaker 2: You want to thank Jamis Cowards. Did you take a
Speaker 2: quarterback yet? I already took a quarter right? What you did?
Speaker 2: It's Againthty Richards. Damn you got something through some guards.
Speaker 3: That's the funny thing though about like I mean, aside
Speaker 3: from the whole PlayStation server going down, you really think
Speaker 3: about it, Dudes care more about all pros. It's almost
Speaker 3: like the Pro bowls irrelevant. And that's where I like
Speaker 3: the game. Coming back to these dudes generally care about
Speaker 3: All Pro. They get mad about it, especially with the
Speaker 3: NFL honors Josh Allen Win an MVP but not even
Speaker 3: being a first team All Pro.
Speaker 2: Like it's showing that these guts care and I like that.
Speaker 2: I like it a lot. You'd like that they care
Speaker 2: because of what what I'm confused.
Speaker 3: I like that they care and they're going back to like, hey,
Speaker 3: this shit matters, This game matters. Thought about the Pro Bowl,
Speaker 3: not like the Pro Bowl is becoming irrelevant because dudes
Speaker 3: care more about the All pros they can opt by
Speaker 3: everybody getting paid, betting paid and being confused on what
Speaker 3: your point is. I'm no, I'm an observation. It's not
Speaker 3: a point. The observation is that, like, these dudes genuinely
Speaker 3: care more about straight up just the best at their
Speaker 3: position and then getting paid rather than, oh yeah, let
Speaker 3: me get a.
Speaker 2: Bunch of Pro Bowls.
Speaker 3: Like I felt like this air is just this generation
Speaker 3: of ballers coming into the league. They're just different, Like
Speaker 3: they know everybody's working together. They still trying to take
Speaker 3: each other's head off, but like there's there's like, you know,
Speaker 3: more respect, Like it's not as barbaric as it used
Speaker 3: to be like, there's more superstars at every position than
Speaker 3: ever before, dudes with big personalities all that. It's kind
Speaker 3: of crazy. Yeah, it's just that's just my observation.
Speaker 4: Anything else, Yeah, I guess. So we can just get
Speaker 4: to our rans and just keep the speak show light.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure people are fired of hearing about
Speaker 4: the super Bowl anyways.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's about to be All Star Weekend. Nobody cares
Speaker 2: about the All Star Weekend. Story week Nobody knows losing
Speaker 2: the dunk contest.
Speaker 4: I couldn't tell you where it is. It's kind of
Speaker 4: a joke, I think San Francisco. Yeah it is, you're right,
Speaker 4: kind of a joke. Nobody cares because yes, it was
Speaker 4: just kind of a joke.
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna start off my re real quick. My
Speaker 3: birthday is February nineteenth. I'll be thirty three. Special time
Speaker 3: in my life. I'm truly blessed and grateful for everybody
Speaker 3: in it play the role and help me make me
Speaker 3: a better person. Because I was a crash out. I
Speaker 3: was born to crash out. I'm a crash out right now. Honestly,
Speaker 3: I'm just thankful God gave me the opportunity to see
Speaker 3: the air in my ways, and then once you see
Speaker 3: the air in your ways, it's up to you to change.
Speaker 3: So I'm thankful, you know, I'm at that point thank
Speaker 3: for everybody in my life. Uh by myself a little
Speaker 3: something nice. My mom hooked me up, bought me some
Speaker 3: really nice shit. Got the mellows, the lamellos, so I'm excited.
Speaker 3: I got the lamelos, the strawberry lemonades.
Speaker 2: And me and the Ninja Turtles.
Speaker 3: As soon as I saw the deer turtles always cried
Speaker 3: a little bit because me and my grandfather watched Ninja
Speaker 3: Turtles so much growing up, like I could he could
Speaker 3: literally just mute the TV and I.
Speaker 2: Could just mimic all the voices so like.
Speaker 3: And then to see my nephews, uh Nico and Isaiah,
Speaker 3: Isaiah getting bigger as ever.
Speaker 2: He punched me in the ear today. He hit me
Speaker 2: so hard.
Speaker 3: I think that's why I'm still dizzy and my equilibrium
Speaker 3: was off and the side of my head kind of
Speaker 3: hurts because he punched me so hard, like in the
Speaker 3: right side of the bottom part of my right ear
Speaker 3: lobe or my left ear lobe. Like I'm still kind
Speaker 3: of out of it. He fucked me up. A three
Speaker 3: year old hit me with a punch so hard I
Speaker 3: contemplated whooping his ass.
Speaker 2: I love my nephew.
Speaker 3: I didn't do it, but man, he hit me and
Speaker 3: he was just playing like he was just It's just funny.
Speaker 3: Like when I was a kid, I look back on

Speaker 3: he's doing it. He's even worse. It's just funny. How
Speaker 3: life for pizza tough. You know, they say history, history
Speaker 3: doesn't repeat itself, but it does.
Speaker 2: Rhyme. So thankful.

Speaker 3: wait to see the new Captain America. I'm really I'm
Speaker 3: football season's over. I'm off it on to the next thing,
Speaker 3: trying to prep for this college football season that's coming up,
Speaker 3: because I'm getting those national championship credentials by twenty twenty seven,
Speaker 3: no doubt about it. Or I'm just fucking out of here.
Speaker 3: It's over. Psych I'm kidding Mustard. By the way, everybody
Speaker 3: talking shit about Serena Williams. Shut up because Drake all
Speaker 3: he do is talk about women and do bump shit. So, yeah,
Speaker 3: she danced on that motherfucker's grave, crip walking at the
Speaker 3: super Bowl. You're a Black History Month, by the way,
Speaker 3: she had family murdered, her sister was murdered. I've just
Speaker 3: heard a lot of ignorant ass, stupid ass comments from
Speaker 3: people that makes me go, that's why you're not like us.
Speaker 3: Kendrick was not was talking to black people when he
Speaker 3: said that talking to all black people. It's okay if
Speaker 3: you're not black and you like the song and you
Speaker 3: can relate, but understand you're not like us, and that's okay.
Speaker 3: But like everybody can identify when somebody's being a whole
Speaker 3: ass little bit, regardless of your ethnicity or background, you know,
Speaker 3: like somebody who you just don't like, like, yo, why
Speaker 3: are you an ad?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 3: Why are you like this? In any race or group
Speaker 3: of people. So, you know, he rapped for the city,
Speaker 3: He went for himself. You know, it was beautiful for
Speaker 3: everybody involved. And people who say that that was the
Speaker 3: worst halftime show ever, you're uncultured as fuck.
Speaker 4: Joshjakats to the Patriots is fucking disgusting in this by
Speaker 4: the way, in the tenth round. Yeah, the Patriots got
Speaker 4: Josh Jacobs in the tenth round.
Speaker 2: Anyways.
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, I mean it's been an interesting week for
Speaker 4: me and going through some life changes. I think it's
Speaker 4: kind of been a humbling experience for me, and ego
Speaker 4: death just kind of costs me to kind of look
Speaker 4: at myself in the mirror and ask myself what part
Speaker 4: of I played and some of the things that I'm
Speaker 4: currently experienced, you know, what kind of takeaways and parallels
Speaker 4: can I draw based off of previous experiences that I've had.
Speaker 4: I'm starting to do some of that work and.
Speaker 2: Something. And it's also light just to know, like, hey,
Speaker 2: kind of just.
Speaker 4: I'm really good at moving forward and continuing to move,
Speaker 4: but sometimes I kind of just got to be present
Speaker 4: and just kind of be where my toes at and
Speaker 4: feel the moment and enjoy the moment. Yeah, things go
Speaker 4: by fast, and I found myself just kind of caught
Speaker 4: in a wheel trying to always maintain, maintain, and maintain,
Speaker 4: and you know, I don't have a lot to show
Speaker 4: for it other than a lot of war ruins and
Speaker 4: lack of sleep. So For me, I'm just trying to
Speaker 4: kind of be more president in my own mind, just
Speaker 4: kind of understand my surroundings and opportunities that are presented.
Speaker 2: With me every day. Being grateful for those what I'm
Speaker 2: focusing on over these next few weeks.
