The Bill Simmons Podcast
A highlight from Part 1: USAs World Cup Collapse, Basebrawls, Jets Optimism, Life in The G-League and The OC 20 Years Later | with Gabe York and Zoe Simmons
"Coming up, an unexpected two -part podcast cameo from me. It's next. We're also brought to you by the Ringer Podcast Network, where we turned over Sean Fennesey and Amanda Dobbins' big picture feed to Brian Raftery. It's a narrative podcast called, Do We Get to Win This Time? How Hollywood Made the Vietnam War. You can find it on the big picture starting on Tuesday. And it is an idea I'm really excited about because it came from a class that I did as a senior in college in 1992. Me and my friend Horgs talked a movies professor into doing a special Vietnam War movies class where we watched basically every Vietnam War movie that had been made up to 1992 and then tried to write a big picture term paper about it. And the thing that was really fascinating about that class and something that stuck with me was just that whole concept of Hollywood reinventing the entire Vietnam experience under the premise of, Did We Get to Win This Time? So we got Brian involved and he turned the idea into an awesome, awesome podcast. I even went and dug up the term paper that I wrote 31 years ago. I thought it was gonna be horrendous. It wasn't bad. I was kind of proud of myself, retroactively 31 years later. Anyway, Do We Get to Win This Time? How Hollywood Made the Vietnam War. It is gonna be in the big picture podcast starting on Tuesday. So that's one piece of business. Second, new rewatchables on Monday night. It is the 300th movie that we've done. It's a special one. We're doing National Lampoon's Vacation. It was time. Meet Chris Ryan, Van Lathan. Yeah, and Van was pushing for it because we wanted to do Christmas Vacation during the holidays and you can't do Christmas Vacation. If we do National Lampoon's Vacation, super fun. Can't wait for you to listen to it. And we'll be running the video at some point on the YouTube channel, youtube .com slash Bill Simmons, where we put up a whole bunch of rewatchables podcasts in case you missed it. Boogie Nights is up there now. Goodfellas, Independence Day, just a slew of them. So if you're bored and you wanna throw on some rewatchables and watch us make fun of each other, there you go. Last but not least, I don't wanna say this is the most important, but it's certainly the thing I spent the most time on. Our documentary that we did about the G League with Religion of Sports and Ringer Films, we combined, and it is premiering on Tuesday, August 8th. It is called Destination NBA, A G League Odyssey. It's really good. We immersed ourselves into the G League season. We followed Scoot Henderson, Gabe York, Ryan Terrell, Mason Jones, and Denzel Valentine. And the big question was, what is this world like? What's it like to be in the G League? And I am really proud of where we landed with it. And we even have, much later in this podcast, Gabe York is gonna come on. He's one of the five that we followed, and he's gonna tell us what it's like as you're holding on to your dream in your late 20s. We try not to spoil the doc too much with Gabe, but I really liked him. He's probably the guy that jumps out of the doc in the most sympathetic way. So look forward for you to watch it. It is prime video, Tuesday, August 8th, Destination NBA. A G League Odyssey. You love basketball, just watch it, it's good. So there you go. This is gonna be part one of a two -part podcast. Gabe is coming up later. My daughter Zoe Simmons is coming up later because we did a whole bunch of OC stuff on the Prestige TV podcast. I was even on two of the episodes. But I ended up watching season one of the OC. And my daughter was watching with us and loved the show. And she was born a year and a half after it premiered. So me and her broke down season one from the perspective of what is it like when somebody 18 watches the OC, a show that is now two decades old. The anniversary was actually August 6th. And what she liked, what she didn't like, what people aren't doing anymore for her kind of audience. And we just dove into it. So that is much later. First, coming out of the gate, I'm gonna open a six -pack because we have a lot to discuss over the past three weeks, all the stuff I missed. So that's gonna be part one. And then part two, which is gonna go up later on Sunday night, me and Rossello doing this evergreen idea that we've always wanted to do. And this seemed like the perfect time because nothing's happening in basketball. So that's gonna be part two later tonight. Part one coming up. First, our friends from ProJax. What's up? All right, I'm taping this. It is Sunday afternoon Pacific time. And I'm gonna open a six -pack. There's a bunch of stories in sports and culture that happened over the last three weeks. I was just writing stuff down, things that would have been fun for podcast segments. I was just like, man, I wish I could have given my thoughts on that. Just gonna rip through them. So I have six and then maybe a couple bonus ones at the end. The first one, the biggest one, was the US women's soccer team, which lost today in penalty kicks to Sweden, scored zero goals in the last two games, scored one goal in the last three games, and that was off a corner kick. You could feel from the beginning that something was off with this team. It was all the ways. You knew in a checklist of what are the red flags? There were just red flags galore. And the only person who was really calling it out in time over and over again was Carli Lloyd, who was doing the Fox studio show. And she was the one person in the horror movie who knows the house is haunted. And everyone's like, shut up. You're not being patriotic. You just wish you were still on the team. She was right. She was right from the get -go. This team, you could see it before the Vietnam game when it was like, look at the new Nike suits. Look at these new suits. And they're all like styling as they head into the locker room. And they're running commercials. And every player has a commercial. There's players who've never done anything of that commercials. And the vibe was just off. They only beat Vietnam three -nothing in a bracket where goal differential was gonna be super -duper important. And that was a huge red flag. And we did the usual thing that we've been doing since 2019, 2015 of, oh, well, they almost scored a bunch of times. Oh, well, if that had gone in or some bad luck. There was just an arrogance to this team. Like they were carrying themselves like the defending champs, the same way like the Denver Nuggets would go into next NBA season. Like we're the champs. I was like, yeah, you are the champs because the season just happened. The World Cup happened four years ago. Everyone's four years older or wasn't on the team. And you could see they wanted to build the team instead of around the identity of, here are these new up and coming awesome stars that are gonna be in your life. They were really latching on to Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe. Alex Morgan's 34, Megan Rapinoe's 37. I think one of the differences between the discourse with women's sports and men's sports is that in men's sports, we grasp for angles. And if somebody is disappointing in some way, we really go nuts. Like think of how James Harden's been treated over the last 12 years. So he's one of the 35 best players ever and has taken just an incredible amount of shit. Oh my God, the playoffs, look at his game log. Oh, he choked again. Alex Morgan, who scored twice in her first two games in the World Cup in 2011, she scored once in 2015 in seven games. She scored six times in 2019, five against Thailand in a game that was 13 to nothing, one in the other six, and then scored nothing in the four games this time around. If you take away that Thailand game, she has scored two goals in the last 17 World Cup games. This is the striker. This is the one who's supposed to be the most dangerous player in the field, who's supposed to produce goals. And she hasn't produced goals since the mid 2010s on the national level. And yet it's Alex Morgan. She was supposed to be the next one. We got to keep propping her up and pretending she's a superstar. She's not a superstar. She's really honestly never been a superstar. She certainly hasn't been as impactful as somebody like Abby Wambach was. So you have the team built around her. She's got to play. They play her the entire game, game two, the entire game, game three. She plays like 95 minutes in this game today, and they don't score goals. And the announcers just won't talk about it. It's like being on an AYSO team that your kid's on, and the coach is playing somebody at striker, and everyone's like, why don't they play Sally at striker instead of the coach's daughter? It's like, oh, you know, the coach's daughter. She's got to play there. So you have that, and then you have Rapinoe, who's 37 years old, who's just, unfortunately, great career, legendary, true legend, huge big time player. And when you hit your late 30s in soccer, it's a wrap. She looked like Yudana Rapinoe, not big Rapinoe, and comes out for the last 25 minutes of this game and can't do anything, and then misses the penalty kick. That's the thing. If you're beholden to past performance, you can't expect to succeed in the moment. And I did feel like, what were this team's strengths? Speed. They had Sophia Smith, who really was bad the last three games on the left wing. Like, she just, she couldn't even connect passes. Trinity Rodman, who's a beast. Lynn Williams, who's super fast and athletic and had some really nice moments the last two games. And then Alyssa Thompson, who's the prodigy, who's the, you know, potential tiger or LeBron of this team. 18 years old, best high school player I've ever had. They won't even throw her out there. But this was not a team that could connect passes. They weren't, like, especially creative. The coaching was just bizarre, and we'll never see that guy again. But it was like, the one thing they did have was speed, especially the forwards, and they just threw that away. And Alex, you know, couldn't do anything. So now they're out. It's the most disappointing finish of the last 25 years for the women's team. And it reminds me in a lot of ways that 2004 Olympic basketball team that we had, the USA team. And I tweeted this, I think after the second game, because that was a team that was between eras, like this one was, where all the best players on that 2014, the ones in their primes, weren't that good, except for Duncan. And Duncan was completely banged up. He'd played so many NBA games the last couple of years. I think his knee was hurt. But, you know, it was Iverson and Marbury. The talent, it just was a between eras. And you had guys on the bench, like LeBron and Carmelo and Wade, who were four years away. Kobe wasn't on the team. And it just felt generationally, like we caught that team in the wrong time. The style was wrong. And we learned all these lessons and we moved on. 2008, we win. There's a documentary about it. But this team felt like it was between eras. The Alex Morgan, Rapinoe era, which was basically done. And then you have this era coming up with Rodman and Sophia Smith and Alyssa. And, you know, it's just four years from now, we'll probably be fine. But they need to re -imagine this. And I think if you're gonna learn any lesson from this, it doesn't matter what happened four years ago. It's the World Cup. It matters what's happening now. So that's one thing. Second thing. So Jaylen Brown gets this huge contract, $304 million. Some people seem surprised that it was that much money. Chris Ryan even took a shot at it when we did our library watchables. Hurt my feelings a tiny bit. Mainly because I didn't really have a comeback. Rosella did something on his podcast about how this actually makes sense. This amount of money, when you think of how the salary cap has climbed just since 2015, and it's gonna keep climbing. And there's this world you can go into where you think about just how much everything is gonna cost in the NBA four or five years from now, that Jaylen Brown at $70 million isn't actually gonna be that intimidating. The same way we feel about Tobias Harris for $40 million now, or Klay Thompson, $40 million now. Yeah, you don't really wanna pay $40 million for Klay Thompson, but you can survive it. And I think that's gonna be where the Celtics land with Jaylen. Here's why they had to do it. They're the favorites on FanDuel right now. They're plus 470. The thing that made them the most special and has made them the most special for the last five, six years is the Jaylen Brown -Jason Tatum combo. They've been incredibly successful. The team itself has made five conference finals in the last seven years. They came super close to making the finals last year. I have now gone into the what if zone with that Celtics team where what if Tatum doesn't hurt his ankle on the first play? Do we beat Miami? They were close is the point. And when you're that close, you can't fuck around. This is not Bradley Beal resigning with Washington for 50 million a year when everybody knows you can't get past the eight seed with Bradley Beal. This is different. You're trying to win a title. You're trying to keep all your optionality open. The thing that's a little scary about it, nobody seems to totally know if he wants to be in Boston. This is something we've discussed on this pod. It's been floating out there. The fact that he wasn't happy about landing in the Kevin Durant trade rumors a couple years ago. And just in general, where the league is now, where as Woj called it, the transfer portal, where people get their contract first and then they decide what they want to do. And I think for the Celtics, they know they bought themselves a year with Jalen and they are still one of the favorites to win the title. And a lot of it's going to depend on health and Porzingis. You could also, I don't want to make the case, but you might be able to make the case that Brown had a fucked up hand last year. Cause he did. Cause he sliced his hand open. It was bleeding even during the Philly series. And maybe that was why his ball handling went sideways. Listen, you got to do the contract. It just breaks your brain. I remember a million years ago, Sports Illustrated and Inside Sports say every year they would have like a salary issue. And they would talk about these guys are making $1 million a year. And it seemed like so much money. And now where we're heading with the money, plus the NBA is the meteorites deal. The moment any of these guys becomes unhappy, what do you do? Because you're paying Jalen, let's say you're paying him 55 million a year. Plus he is the trade kicker, which the team has to pay. Right? So if he decides after a year, you know what? I'm tired of being the scapegoat. Everybody loves Jason. I'm like the middle brother of this team. I want my own team. I want to go to Houston or Atlanta. You got to trade me. What are the Celtics going to do? On top of who would want out, you don't have a lot of options and you turn into what the situation Portland's in with Deem. And then on top of it, it's so much money. It's impossible to get any sort of a fair trade for the guy. So they had to do it. And optionality the that comes out of it is frightening. I remember in the early 2000s, when the first time the contracts kind of went nuts and you would see that people get signing like six -year, $100 million deals, seven -year, $110 million deals. And the Celtics really, really stupidly traded for Vin Baker. One of the worst trades of the last 30 years for Boston Sports. A trade so bad, you knew it instantaneously. And I wrote a piece that you can probably find somewhere in the ESPN archives about it, where I compared it to the end of Thelma Louise when Harvey Keitel is running toward the cliff trying to stop the car from going off the cliff. That's how I thought about the Vin Baker trade when it happened. Then it happens and you just had this salary albatross. It's a salary cap league. And you're like, wow, we just threw away 20 % of our salary cap on this trade. There's going to be a couple of those that are just franchise killers. And whether that leads to them bringing back the amnesty clause, who knows? I wish, I've made this, I've had this idea before. I wish that they had a rule in there that if you drafted a guy, every year that he stays in the team, you get rewarded in some way from a salary cap luxury tax type thing, right? So Jaylen was 2016 draft, this would be his eighth year. Maybe like after the seventh year, because that's usually like the third contract. The guy stays in the team, maybe each year after that, he doesn't count for 2 % of the luxury tax, up to like 30%, something like that. The point is the Warriors should be rewarded for keeping Draymond and Klay and Curry from a tax standpoint, that they were that smart to draft those guys, keep those guys together. They should be incentivized, the players, to want to stay with them because there's some luxury tax stuff that the team gets. And the team should want to be incentivized to take care of those guys because it's also beneficial to them. I just wish they figured out some version of that rule. Anyway, Jaylen was always signing for $304 million. Talk to me in a year, I'll keep my fingers crossed. Next thing, I missed the running back pity party. This was crazy. The running backs all got together and they were really upset about how much money they made. And I don't know what to tell you. There's too many running backs and not enough running back spots. And I don't know if you're trying to build a responsible salary cap team in a collectively bargained era, why would you spend $30 million over two years on a running back unless the running back was awesome? Nobody even wants to spend more than $11 million on running back. So I knew that this was crazy when Damien Harris, who was on the Patriots, who I thought was really good. He's maybe not an elite running back, but a good running back, right? Somebody that if he had been on the Chiefs, he easily could have started for the Chiefs. And he signed with the Bills for like one year, 2 million. And when that happened, combined with Pacheco on the Chiefs' seventh round pick, they won the Super Bowl with him. It's just, this position's devalued. I work on this player, I've been actually working on it the last couple of weeks where I try to rank the players for blue chippers, red chippers, pink chippers, honorable mention, and have this whole point system. And so quarterbacks, Mahomes, who's the alpha of that position, he's worth 10 points. And you could even see this in the point spread. If Mahomes gets hurt, the Chiefs are 10 points, nine points, whatever, less than what they would be as a favorite. They'd switch to an underdog. And you go on down the line. Jalen Hurts, I had him as an eight. I had Joe Burrow as a nine. And you go on, you keep going down, and it's like, Geno Smith's probably a two. But then you look at some of the other positions and you have to value them the same way the salary cap values them and teams value them. Guards, they aren't worth that much. Running backs, sorry, they're not worth that much. My top running back was three points because ultimately running backs don't really matter that much. In the last like five, six years, I would say Derrick Henry was the only running back that you could definitively say, this guy almost won the Super Bowl. Like he was that good. Other than that, you know, it's plug and play, quarterbacks, it's receivers. It's much harder to find the number one receiver. Every team needs one. It's much more tangible if you don't have the number one receiver. And it's much easier to just kind of scrap together the running back position. And yet people went nuts about this. We ironically had this in the NBA with centers. You know, Vucevic, who's a really good offensive player, he signed for 60 million for three years, 20 million a year. And Jaylen Brown's going to make $52 million a year. Is Jaylen Brown two and a half times better than Vucevic? No, it's just, he plays a way more important position. You can only play one center at a time. You can patch together the center position. You could have like Isaiah Hartenstein for $8 million. You could, you know, get Robert Williams for 16. You don't need to spend what Phoenix did on Eaton where they're paying $8 and $30 million a year at center. And you don't really need to do that. You kind of feel obligated if you don't want to lose the asset. But I think the NBA is going to go this way eventually where unless it is Jokic or Embiid, the center or Bam Adebayo, it's a bonus. You could argue that was already an overpay. They gave him a huge extension. The Lakers just gave Anthony Davis $60 million a year as an extension. I would argue that's a little frightening. I feel like you could patch together the center position. What really matters in basketball is having the creator. And this was the argument five years ago with Luka versus Eaton for the number one pick. And I made this argument. It was like, go look at who wins the NBA title every year. It's always the people who have the creator. There's somebody who's on the perimeter of the ball in their hands. Even Jokic, who wins the title this year, he was a creator. He's not a typical center, right? He's basically their point guard on offense who could post up. So this happened in the NBA. Nobody went nuts. And this is happening in football. And is this where football is. If you want to make the most amount of money playing in the NFL, I don't know why you would be a running back. I would be a cornerback. I would be a wide receiver. I'd be an edge rusher. But if you're a running back, you know your shelf life's probably like five, six years. You know the money is not totally gonna be there. Now they're in this, like you have people like JK Dobbins, like, I might hold out. It's like, really? You didn't barely even play in the field. Barkley said he was gonna hold out. And then, you know, probably looked at it. And the money for Barkley is like 10, 11 million. That's unfortunately the market. So you can't fix this. They collectively bargained it. And until we get to the next CBA, I don't know how you fix it. I thought it was really weird. It felt like people had nothing to talk about. And it was like, ah, let's feel bad for running backs. All right, let's take a break. And then I'm gonna finish the rest of the six pack. All right, picking up on the six pack. We're gonna talk a little more football. I talked about the running back pity party. This is a different kind of party. The Jets optimism, which has just been stunning to me over the course of July. I have Jets fans in my life. These are people that usually have no hope and are very reminiscent of the pre -2004 Red Sox fans, just assuming the worst at all times. Why does God hate us? All that stuff. And now they have this crazy optimism based on the fact that they brought in Aaron Rodgers, who I did not think was very good last year, just throwing that out there. I wouldn't say he was bad, but for Rodgers, he was bad. I mean, we thought Rodgers was, he was the reigning MVP and we thought he was still one of the five or six most impactful players in the league. And I don't wanna read stats to you for the next six minutes, but deep balls, he was bad. Turnovers, he was bad. Leadership, he was bad. And the case for Rodgers coming back would be, well, he's gonna be rejuvenated. The Jets, New York City. This is his team. He got away from Green Bay. He's got Hackett back. I get it, but he's also at an age where we've really only seen Tom Brady succeed at a high, high level at the age that Rodgers is at. I was trying to figure it out. I have my QB ratings and I had, you know, the top tier is Mahomes and Burrow and Allen and Herbert and Hertz. Those have to be the top five. Then it drops off and it's Lamar Jackson and Lawrence. And then Rodgers, probably a hair underneath him with a chance to play himself up with those guys. But from what we saw last year, I'm not ready to put him there. So he's the 10th best quarterback in the league, probably. 10th or ninth best quarterback in the league, probably. Well, they have no offensive line. And I don't understand why people keep glossing over this where it's like, hey, Rodgers and Garrett Wilson, he's one of the best receivers in the league and Breece Hall's going to come back and the defense is really good. And it's like, yeah, the offensive line is terrible. Beckton and Dwayne Brown, sure tackles again. And then you have Robert Salah as the coach, who I cannot say I thought that Jets were crisply coached last year. Whatever he was doing with Zach Wilson was insane. No idea if that guy's even a decent coach. So I'm already worried about your offensive line, the age of your quarterback, and the competency of your coach. And that's before we get into the hard knocks curse, because for some reason they're doing hard knocks, the incredible Super Bowl hype already. And then we have the schedule, which is the AFC East has just got screwed by the schedules this year. The Jets, just for quarterbacks in 17 games, they got to play Josh Allen twice, they got to play Mahomes, Herbert, Hertz, Dak Prescott, and Deshaun Watson. And then they also have to play Miami twice. We'll see what we get out of two this year. And then a really good Pats defense. And then Denver, who knows, they might be rejuvenated. So Danny Dimes, they have to play him. It is a brutal schedule, so you have that. And then on top of everything else, you're the Jets. I was there with the Red Sox before 2004, and this is probably just as bad, where you just think the worst possible things can happen is all the time. You're not allowed to have optimism when you're Jets fans. You can be cautiously optimistic. There was an entire Curb Your Enthusiasm episode once, season 10, episode seven, about being a Jets fan. And it was called, I think, the ugly section. Nick Kroll was the maitre d'. And part of the episode was about, he would put these people in different sections of the restaurant, depending on how attractive they were. But there was this other plot, Larry's buddy who loved the Jets, kills himself. And Larry becomes convinced it was because of the Jets, that the Jets killed his friend. This was only a couple of years ago. So now they get Aaron Rodgers, and everything's good. And they're gonna win the Super Bowl. I don't see it, guys. I don't wanna step on my football stuff too much, but I'd be shocked. And Lombardi points out the defense that everybody's ready to compare to the 85 Bears. Lombardi said they had two turnovers over the last eight games last season. So that means something too. I am dubious, to say the least. If you're gonna tell me a tortured franchise actually turns it around this year, I want a tortured franchise that doesn't have expectations. Because the Lions are another one. Everybody's ready to put them in the Super Bowl or close. And the only case for them is just pretty explosive offense. They couldn't stop anybody last year. And the NFC is terrible. But that's another one where is that a fan base that should be super excited and have a ton of hype? The one that's kind of lurking that fits in this group is the Browns. Because the Browns are actually super talented. They're in a winnable division. Burroughs already hurt. And I think they're four to one to win the AFC North on FanDuel, something like that. Their over -under is, I think it climbed up.

"I don't know where you go from here. And I think this will probably define in some way Robert solace tenure because if you can just, if you can squeeze a couple of wins out of Mike white and Joe Flacco, you can go to woody Johnson at the end of the year and just be like, okay, we coach this team up. Yes, we made a mistake on the QB, but everybody messed up in that draft on the QB. I mean, Kyle Shanahan, not that he messed up, but he's still not using the guy. Get us Jimmy G or someone like that to run this offense. Everything's in place and I promise you ten wins next year. Like we're gonna do this. I think you could probably do that. You could get that kind of inequity. I mean, I think that if you've exhausted all of your efforts, I think it's totally fine to normalize the idea that you gotta cut, you gotta cut this guy loose. And you gotta do what's best for both of them and just get them out of there. And I'm hypercritical of teams that don't try. Like I was hypercritical of the bears with Justin Fields under Matt nagy because you just getting that kid killed. Now, if it still doesn't work out with Justin Fields and what they're doing right now, after next season, okay, go ahead. Part ways. You've done you've done what's best for him. The jets are running one of the most quarterback friendly systems in the NFL. They drafted a receiver who you and I think at least I think is far and away the best receiver in that rookie class, but it's just getting no, there's no opportunities for him to succeed. They have a really good offensive line. They went and got Dwayne brown when there was injuries to the front. They're doing all these things to invest and you last year they allowed your personal quarterbacks coach to be on the staff and paid him. And covered it, which is something that Zach Wilson would have had to have done independently and does do independently now, but

I'm doing math in my head. I'm hosting i'm doing everything we'll get me and we have. Nfl analyst jeff saturday joining us. Now on the good hotline. Jeff commissioner jeff. Hi y'all live in age living. Good what you guys up to. I'm living really good in the sunshine. Jeff can i ask you a question. What happened to that baby blue this week. Yes sir what happened to that baby blonde going. What do you mean sam. How talk to jeff. Hey listen. I don't know i'm just gonna act like i blacked out. Didn't see it didn't hear it. I don't hear-no-evil-see-no-evil as bad as it can get and i would make fun of you. But it doesn't do meaning good 'cause we were ranked top ten and it gave it away to virginia tech. I hurt my heart is hurt. My heart is hurt. jay will admit it. You got me. You got week one. You got a renowned rank man so you still have. Can we get some nfl. Yes yes jeff can't get into hitting on a whole bunch of stuff including the pressure faced by dak prescott. Now we're all in agreement that there are some pressure. But like not nearly as much as some other quarterbacks i'm looking for some dissenting someone to to see the other side because i keep hearing from a lot of places how much pressure dax under is dacca quarterback under is here in that category of a lot of pressure or not as much as other guys. No not as much as other guys. Listen when you when you think about this football team last year. Their defense was absolutely atrocious. Their offensive line was decimated with injuries. Those guys are trying to come back. That dean smith lael collins and zack martin who we now know was on the cove list. So zeke didn't play well last year so when you're looking at this you have a you have a lot of guys around in. That will make him play well. But as far as laying all the pressure at him coming off this ankle and shoulder absolutely not is not under near the pressure as as some of the other guys in the nfl. How concerned are the cowboys. Considering the loss of zack martin in this critical matchup against the bucks. Let me let me say this way man. If if if we're talking about a quarterback zack. Martin is patrick mahomes at his position. Okay so so when you keep hearing in zeke. Say he's the best player on offense. And you hear jerry say man. He's a man of prayer. We're hoping he can come back and get it by thursday. Something crazy is going to happen all of those things because you understand literally your best player on offense is now out against probably the best four. They're going to face all season so everybody understands how big a loss this is. Let me put in perspective. He had almost six hundred and thirty pass protection over. The last few seasons he gave up three sacks. Like when i tell you use put the guy over there and you don't worry run or pass what's going to happen. That's exactly what he plays. Most of zeke's runs either. Start their end up bending back there. I mean this guy he he is special his position and that should not go undervalued or under-discussed because it puts this offensive line in a very difficult situation facing the tampa bay buccaneers. Who can get after you at four different spots. Just ask the chiefs. You don't know which guy is going to show up and play at which position that makes it very difficult to game plan when your best guy is not out there so when you look at it now and you're talking about offense allying dwayne brown back at practice which i felt all alone that he was able to play against a coaching week. Wh how big is this for seattle to get that left side. Secure for russell wilson. Oh it's huge and listen and not only. Is it huge for russell wilson for this season key. This is huge to build rapport from the seahawks front office to russell wilson of. Hey man we're going to try to protect you right. We know what dwayne brown provides you at that left tackle position and the athleticism we understand. He's aging. we can't do anything that's going to set us back but we are to help you for this year. And as you. And i both know man. This year matters like all we ever talk about is organizational. You know how they're going to keep this quarterback here for the next ten years you russell wilson. Oh care about ten years right now. He cares about this season. They did a really good job. Making sure dwayne brown was gonna be back and starting left tackle position. It is a huge huge benefit to russell wilson and this offense if they want to move in this division by the way one twelve games last year. We're not even talking about like. This is a good football team. That i think i think people are are missing by not discussing. Br dwayne brown's a huge part. I i get jif. Why is it. That left tackles kim. Play old like quarterbacks why why do we see the andrew whitworth of the world. Dwayne brown have yet mon javadi at the left tackle spot. All the offense alignment love great. So because most of the time you move away from your left side so you may like i said before you may start to the left right start some bins and then push back. But you're left tackle doesn't have to be a road grader. Right he's going to be more. Ab positional guy. Going to get in the way of the end gonna make you're going to put a good left guard beside and its athletic. Move out but he's not gonna get the same kind of bumps and bruises that you normally face on the right side. Lotta guys rolling up on your legs. All those kinds of things you think to help the left tackle much more in different aspects of the game. So i think that increases their longevity throughout their career. That's a great question. An interesting answer. especially the seahawks. Who paid russell wilson. It's like well. We'll like identify talent and coach up and it has not worked. They got a real guy. They're now they got their meantime. Saquon barkley okay jeff. I'm a giants fan and saquon wherever they should have drafted him didn't he is just one of a kind talent that i've ever seen at his stairs with all the things he can do. But the offensive line has been awful. It's looked awful in the preseason. He's coming off injury. They're facing a really good defense week. One what should what should the giants approach be with. Saquon early in the season said. Sit a man until you until he is. He is a hundred percent and feels game. Ready not practice ready. And i saw something on the ticker yesterday. All he had a contact practice. Gimme a break man in the nfl. They no such thing as contact practices anymore right. That do took two or three shots. That is the most violent position played in the nfl. He's going to get hit more often and guys were going after their legs. They're going low. It's very difficult to protect yourself at that position. Give him time understand. The longevity of his career is directly affected if you try to put him back early so when i think about him. There's no hurry to your point. There offensive line played awful in pre season. Maybe the worst of anybody in the nfl so they've tried to move pieces and parts and they're trying to do those things but until you feel good about your ol- line and most importantly about his health man don't play. He heard him say he fell slightly. Jeff you heard jeff saturday and by the way i agree the giants like last year. They're the worst offensive line football. This year they're worse than last year. Somehow i did hear jeff max and he said if he's completely healthy much like i said so i did hear him so he saying he can't be completely.

"They didn't think coming into this off. Season guys people in the building here at the seahawks thought. This would be for duane brown who turns thirty six this month. This is the final year of his contract made tens and tens of millions of dollars over his pro bowl career he would ride it out and ended on a on the end of his contract and end here in seattle and then retired thirty six and then he tells them this spring right after. They drafted stone foresight to be under study. You said you know what. I wanna play again and i wanna place guys. I want a new contract and they weren't planning on that so now. They have to restructure their thoughts on twenty twenty one. Quandary digs is contract ends after this season met catch contract and suddenly after next season bobby. Wagner's contract ends again after next season and some guy named russell wilson's contents and twenty twenty. Three they can't just say oh we gotta gago sign got adam sign. We gotta go sign wayne brown and get him on the field. They can't do that without can't do that. In a vacuum may have to think about what they're planning and had already planned for in twenty twenty two twenty three hundred so far. It hasn't been playing brown so that to me. Although i think you're right matt it's not as important. The adams is an important the twenty twenty one season as brown as it was easier to do because it was planned for. It's harder for the dwayne brown contract to get done at the numbers. He probably wants because they weren't planning for this and the cost. They weren't counting on. How crazies it to offer multiple years to duane brown at that age and are there any alternatives for this year because of course it is paramount to protect russell wilson. Do they have any last minute. Here are not many quality free agents still hanging around. Obviously at this point are the disgruntled players elsewhere in league that could become trade targets for the seahawks. What are their options here. Well every year they may be some options that come up at the end of the training camp. The last cuts preseason because every year there are some salary cap casualties that you didn't expect that turns and thinking trent williams washington situated come to the forty niners left tackle. They can't happen but it's not. You can't count on that and in house. They have demarco jones. He got back on the field. Today's fifth round pick from ohio state was the highest states left tackle for years. That's what they drafted him to be. He's gonna play if he can get through these practices after being injured last two weeks. He'll play saturday night in the preseason game against denver that might increase chances of wilson plan..

Seahawks Have Offer out to Jamal Adams; No New Talks With Duane Brown
"Jamal adams there but not practicing dwayne brown there but not practicing. My theory is was seattle. That pete carroll push for this jamal adams trade and they gave to i a third and a safety for jamal adams and it looked terrible if they don't get this deal done so the seattle times has to reporters this morning that have said the seahawks appear to be willing to move to sign atoms. But not the left. Tackle dwayne brown and i'm like timeout. Left tackle safety but my my belief is pete carroll lashed last year the defense was a mass bottom half of the league they had no pass rush and i think seattle over and i liked jamal but they went crazy on him and now they're back into a corner 'cause they can't just bail on jamal adams they gave up too

"Way to play and I'm a little surprised. Being a smart is he is. He doesn't see that. But, you know, break brought up getting credit and ego and I'm sure he loves his wife, but he's changed a little bit and just the way he gives a lot of money to charity. He's a good guy. I'm not saying he's not. What I hear. I'm being interviewed, and he's talking right away about his legacy. You should not be saying that out loud. That will not go over well in the locker room. Why is your legacy more important and Dwayne Brown's legacy? So is a quarterback. Yeah, Everybody looks at you and we over analyze you and over pay you and over criticize you when it doesn't go well. But you're still just one of the guy. It's why I just don't see Jimmy Garoppolo was valuable eyes just his quarterback play. I don't see Jimmy ever behaving that way. Um so I I don't know what's going on there. But as far as trading and there's no way seeing your reaction is to give up a two and a 23 for Russell Wilson, no one's going to do that. They're not going to do that. That's just not gonna happen. You could put that package together and get to Sean. S so why would you do that? For what it Russ turned 32 in November this year, and I believe a play for a while longer, But there are some limitations to his play. I think his size at times Is a problem. It's a problem with Drew Brees. I think Drew Brees would have one more Super Bowls and I can point to specific moments in games. Where it comes down to one or two plays where they're gonna win or lose. And I think his size heard him at times in the most critical End of season playoff championship playoff type games, and I think there's sometimes you see that with Russell Wilson and yeah, he's a good player. But there are times when you just gotta beat these other elite quarterbacks, so I don't know what's going on. With him. I think it's weird when you hear And Dan Patrick, and he did a good job of of grilling him on the interview yesterday, and he got rushed to kind of squirm. I've never seen Russ just not have command. So you know the bigs point. He's a smart guy into Greg Bell, head of mine. We had a man yesterday from Seattle. Um, it rust knows what he's doing. He you know, he was criticized for anything. It was being too PC and being the senator as form I, Sean and ensure, you know, turned on him a little bit there. He almost seemed like member make. Tyler Murray was being interviewed going into the draft, and he's like he couldn't articulate himself when he was mumbling is like what's with this guy? He's not means like all of a sudden, Russell Wilson's tongue tied What's going on here so, but it gives the reader for Patrick to say then. At Seattle's mad at him. That they could be mad. I'm sure ownership's not happy with him. I'm sure John Schneider is not happy with him. I'm sure Pete Carroll's not happy with him going on this media. You know, Parade tear, basically try to create a division between him and the team. I don't know where that is. But okay, you're mad. Take a deep breath and do the right thing for your organization. And I'm gonna tell me what traits scenario is going to be presented. To them, and there is going to be a cap it to some degree bake, you know, can mitigate the number, but it's still in a year. We don't know where the number is going to be. You don't want to be going backwards and after absorb, you know money on a On the salary cap for a player. It's not even on your roster. You don't want to do that. So I don't know where this is going to go. Also, believe it. I I think he goes a little bit involved here and and his agent, You know, his agent is not a football agent. He's a baseball league. Remember when they did the deal they wanted to do the Kirk Cousins fully guaranteed deal. So she she just kind of any some former baseball player. I understand that, but I just It's interesting. I've never quite observed Russell Wilson behaving this way. Yeah, that's that's why I think there is something there and it's different. I look do I think he's going to be traded? No. But as we were just talking about this, and this is something that he gave us a lot of great information. S O. This is from the guy who runs over the Cappy says trading Russell Wilson leave the Seahawks with the 30 $39 million dead cap charge. Wilson also has a no trade clause. I'm sure he's not thrilled with how the year ended, but a trade here is pretty hard. I'm not saying it's not hard. But what he basically said is look, the 39 million could be manipulated. As you said it could be moved is a credit card. If you really want to move somebody you can, and I don't think that Russell Wilson's gonna get moved. But like you said, there's a strategy here. He's always been a company guy. He's always said Go Hawks. He's always been about the team and then all the sudden to come out on a national forum. Where, Like you said Dan. Patrick did a good job. You grilled him on some things. Wilson kind of was very vague when he asked him if he wanted to have a Ah, hand in personnel, and Patrick followed up right away and said, You just completely avoided my question. And that's the question. No, he went after him a little bit, And as you said he made him squirm. But as many people have said, and then Steve Baker just said he knows what he's doing. He's not just doing this now. Maybe he's doing it so that they get him some offensive line help. Maybe it's as simple as that. Or maybe it's a threat to say if you don't do this Then you might as well move me and he doesn't get credit and the defense gets all the credit. But what I would say is while they were complaining about how the offense stumbled down the stretch their first half of the season offense, and if you could have put that first half offense with the second half defense, Seattle would have been a really good team. And Schottenheimer got fired. But how much is that is on the on the quarterback. He knows what's not working..

"The Seahawks were in the top 10 in best pass block win rate. So in terms of success pass blocking, there were number nine number nine of the NFL. They are eighth in the NFL since 2017 So they're past blocking actually has been pretty effective when you look at it. Statistically, they have a four time Pro Bowl left tackle and Dwayne Brown. He's under contract. They drafted Damian Lewis, who is named to be an all rookie team, offensive lineman. They have invested in the offensive line. They have done pretty good. And as you said DK Metcalf trading for Jamal Adams. I mean, they I just want to remind these guys not everybody can land the golden parachute. The Tom Brady did. You know you don't the seven championships, things and playing until you're 43 is I'm telling you, it's poisoning. Everybody's brain. It poisoned Tony Romo's brain and calling this game It's poison the expectations around Patrick Mahomes. It's poison these quarterbacks into thinking that those situations always exist out there. They don't they don't And Russ. I just I don't know what the wind here is, by going public. And like calling your shot like, Hey, Russ is upset, and Russ is gonna do interviews about being upset. I don't understand the wind there. I really don't that he thinks that applies more pressure to the Seahawks. I guess I guess, And there is one more thing to note here while we all hate on Brady, and he was able to because they just sell. Let's also not forget that Brady was able to and shows to take less money and not every last dollar like he could have gotten ever be the eyes paid quarterback. Don't see guys like this show Watson, a Russell Wilson turning away the high dollars to make sure the money is spent elsewhere on their team. It's a great point as well. I mean to Shawn Watson took every dollar that extension. So did Russell Wilson. So did Aaron Rodgers. It appeared that Patrick the Holmes did a team friendly esque deal as much as that money is that there's ways to still sign guys around him, but It's exactly right. I mean, Brady did end up never taking the last dollar. When we come back here on the show, we are stunned to a news D, a CBS sports radio.

"From NPR News. I'm Dwayne Brown. Former President Donald Trump has rejected a request to testify at his Senate impeachment trial next week as NPR's Windsor Johnston reports. Trump is charged with inciting the violent insurrection of the U. S Capitol building that led to the deaths of five people. Last month. In a letter to congressman and lead impeachment manager Jamie Raskin, Trump's attorneys dismissed the request for his testimony as a public relations stunt. Raskin had sent a letter to Trump's legal team, arguing that the former president's testimony is needed, given that he's disputed the central allegation that he incited the insurrection. Asking, also warned that a refusal to testify would support a strong adverse inference regarding Trump's actions. NPR's Windsor Johnston trumps refusal to testify could be used to trial to support arguments for a conviction. But Democrats will need support from Republicans to do that. Nomination of Ohio Congresswoman Marsha Fudge to head the Department of Housing and Urban Development is headed to the full Senate. A Senate committee today voted 17 7 in favor of her confirmation. NPR's Pam Fessler. If confirmed, Fudge will take over it Hood as the nation struggles with an affordable housing crisis, which has been exacerbated by the pandemic. President Biden has extended a moratorium on evictions through March, but housing advocates say much more is needed to help struggling renters. Fudge, who has served in Congress for the past 12 years, has been praised by some for working across party lines. But several GOP senators took exception to our past comments that Republicans do not quote care even a little bit about people of color. Judge could also face GOP opposition to administration plans to expand federal housing aid and to aggressively enforce fair housing laws. Pam Fessler NPR news Stocks finished solidly higher on Wall Street. This is NPR. And this is KCRW with your state and local headlines at 3 32. I'm Larry Peral, a new report from U C L. A has found. Many adults of Asian and Pacific Islander descent experienced a hate incident link to the pandemic. In the last year, nearly two thirds of people who said they were victims of that discrimination say they dealt with verbal abuse. KCRW's not Dylan. Was more on the findings. Nearly 7% of Asian Pacific Islander and Native Hawaiian adults say they've been the direct target of pandemic related discrimination during the last year of the health crisis. That's one of the insights from the survey conducted by U. C. L. A Center for Health policy Research. The center released the data following President Joe Biden's recent executive order denouncing and seeking to combat xenophobia, racism and intolerance toward Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders due to Corona virus. Participants reported The vast majority of hate incidents were verbal abuse. 22% of those targeted said they experienced cyberbullying. Furthermore, the survey revealed, one in four Pacific Islander and Asian adults say they've witnessed another member of their respective groups be treated unfairly due to their ethnicity or national origin. That is KCRW's Matt Dillon reporting. California state lawmakers today proposed a package of bills intended to make dramatic improvements to the States Employment Development Department. One bill would change a tedious contract with Bank of America to provide benefits through debit cards. It became very clear that this idea that all et de payments have to go through Bank of America makes no sense and Diego Democratic Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, his bill would give claimants the option of getting their unemployment benefits via direct deposit to their bank accounts. The problem with everybody going through Bank of America, which we're seeing is that if you're not a customer, Bank of America, they have no responsibility to be very accommodating Tol your concerns about your card being frozen or fraud or not receiving your card. Other bills would require a D D to check claimants against lists of prison inmates to prevent fraud and would establish an office of the climate advocate to help people with claim problems. All of the legislation will not go through committee hearings in the coming weeks. Two separate on its released this year, found that the E D D is played with bureaucratic inefficiencies, fraud and an inability to pay benefits on time.

So the Browns will be paying him through two thousand nineteen but it will give John Dorsey and Alonzo Highsmith and Elliott Wolff in the Browns for an office the chance to go hire their own head coach, they are I in the pool this year. They get the start looking for an interviewing coaching candidates right now, if they want to go talk to Lincoln Riley at Oklahoma taking go do that. If they want to go talk to any other college coach, they can go do that. They don't have to hide behind anything right now. The Browns are the first out for a coaching search. And then of course, they make the change in offense coordinator firing Todd Haley and bringing in Freddie kitchens who doesn't have extensive experience running an NFL offense. So it'll be interesting to see how kitchens calls play. Days starting Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. And so the Cleveland Browns the first team to overhaul their coaching staff, but the real changes came Tuesday with a flurry of moves that made this one of the busiest trade deadline days in NFL history. Last year was very busy. Because at the last moment in the twenty four hours leading up to the deadline. We saw Jimmy Garoppolo traded from New England to San Francisco j Gye traded from Miami to Philadelphia Dwayne Brown from Houston to Seattle. Marcel Darius from buffalo to Jacksonville and Kelvin Benjamin going from Carolina to buffalo end the almost trade of AJ McCarron from Cincinnati to Cleveland, the got foiled when the Browns could not get the deal done in time by the four o'clock deadline by the four o'clock deadline this year.

That just traded him. Thomas was the longest tenure Bronco and get the Broncos say goodbye to him because really they weren't going to keep his fourteen million dollars salary around next season in my mind. The most surprising move right before the deadline. Came win Detroit traded golden Tate to Philadelphia for a third round pick. So many teams had made so many inquiries to the lions about golden Tate. But they had resisted all overtures for him. But finally, they broke down and dealt Tate to the eagles who for the second straight year made a trade right at the deadline last year Gye this year Tate, as they look to try to keep up with the rest of the NFC east another team in the NFC making.
