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.

"Time, 7 O four, Mike the dino on the later 5th Aaron Rodgers. All right bob it appears that Aaron Rodgers is heading to New York. Well, that's what NFL insider Trey wingo is saying who made the announcement on his Twitter earlier today. Now, here's where it gets interesting. Other prominent designers such as Ian rapport, Adam Schefter, they're saying no deal right now Here's Adam Schefter and NFL live earlier today. The jets are cautiously optimistic. I think that's the best way that we could say it right now because as of about an hour ago, the jets hadn't gotten official work, at least so they said. So to be clear, no deal right now, but that could change any second. Now it's also important to note that the jets players are tweeting as if the deal is done. Cornerback sauce gardener, wide receiver Garrett Wilson, Elijah Moore, running back free soul. They've all been active on Twitter today as if the deal is done. So maybe they know something we don't. Another NFL free agency news former jets quarterback Sam darnold, he signed with the forty-niners, and then this move just going down moments ago, the Giants, they have made their first move in free agency. They are signing former colts linebacker Bobby O kure rique. That's a four year deal worth $40 million. He finished last season with 99 tackles. For 77 WABC sports, some liked it. Thanks, Mike.

I did not think when I fell completely head over heels for him. At his first sight. You really were fine. You really were last year. That was what I came back from Indianapolis in 2022.

I spoke it into existence and I then watched what he did in year one that that was my best expectation. Obviously, all pro? I did not see first team all pro coming. I thought maybe Pro Bowl if we're lucky what have you.

A legit reach out. On behalf of the jets, hey, come here. You come here. You are in Rogers, you come here. Beckham, you come here, which is brash.

One day, he saw us. He saw. That's it. Everyone knows though. He saw, and he's legit. He's a legit reach out. As a recruiter for the jets. Oh, man. Thank you, sauce. You're the man.

And then coach of the air, I guess, is gonna be Syrian, 'cause I haven't even seen odds for this. I have a bet on him, yeah. He's not a huge favorite, but he was a favorite. Yeah. Oh, I wrote this down. I say this any time we're in the range of this. If a team doesn't go 500, should they make the playoffs? Should we just have a rule? The division winner? Would it be more fun with the NMC south right now? If we either said 500 or like, you have to get to 8 wins. If you don't get 8 wins, you can win a division, but you're still not getting in. The buy just gets kind of passed in Dallas would become the force. I really do think that's an idea they should think about because if you look at the NFC south, it's four of the worst ten teams in the league are on that division, right? She benefit from that, just by proximity, randomness, you're just in this shitty thing. I don't think it's a lot to ask to ask a team to go 8, 9, or 8, 8, and one. I mean, this is a discussion in every sport, right? Hockey, college football, should one of the big 5. If the conference is low, I mean, are you saying this because I'm going to make the fantasy playoffs at 6 and 7? Is that why you're bringing this up? Is this a shot at me? No. In our West Coast league? Yeah, the one you were a taunting me with. You're making it? I think I am. Oh my God. You know what? My team taught into your team and now we see each other. The player done body. You're done. Wrap it up. No, I think you go into the season, the goal is the short term goals to win the division, right? And I know they're going to be some years with the divisions better than the other. And you're not going to be about it. I think now, if you want to give them, if you want to start them on the road, that's another thing. Rank them by record after that. But I do think they make the playoffs. I think hockey is interested that way. Right now it's four NFC east teams, which is never happened because we've only

We saw last week. Latavius Murray appeared to take over as the top running back for the Broncos. Now, after I got all my stuff ready for this, I did see that they said Melvin Gordon is going to be the starter. They said that last week and then he had like three carries, so we'll see. But latavius Murray at 15 Kerry 66 yards. I'm not counting or betting on that to continue moving forward. And the jets are a top 12 defense against the run this year. So I would never be excited to start a running back that's 32 years old. And I definitely want to see more from them before I put them in my lineup. How do you Ryan? Can you get to it? Oh man. All right. My sorry, sit last week, was Garrett Wilson. So you're welcome. He had 1.8 points. My set this week is going to be chase claypool and that hurts me personally because I'm a big fan of the talent of Chase claypool. And once again, I'm going with the Tony.

He is getting, but he's been doing this his whole life. That's not an excuse. Like, he's never learned and then what happens is we put him in a crate. We were like, you know what, we can't do this. He's pooping in the house. We're just gonna put him in a crate while we put him in a crate. He like breaks his teeth and stuff, 'cause he was chewing at the bars while we were gone and then he poops. He pees, he pukes in the crate, and then he rolls in it. So we get home and he's a poop dog. And we got to give him a bath. So it's better just to pick up the turds when you come home. It doesn't even try to eat it too. Oh yeah. Yeah, sometimes you'll see like a tiny little turd and you're like, gee, I want to wear the rest of that one. Remember when my dog picked up your dog with her mouth? Yeah, that's what happens when you have a 60 pound dog and a ten pound dog in the same house. So neither of my dogs really give kisses copper dog. He never gives kisses. Maybe like twice ever I've gotten kisses from him. He just doesn't give anybody guesses.

We're gonna do a little stardom sitting for I can't believe we're already at week four, almost a quarter of the way through. I guess that's different now because we're what 17 games. But my start at quarterback this week is going to be someone I probably wouldn't have guessed to start the year. It is going to be Marcus Mariota. And it's solely because he has, in my opinion, some of the better young weapons in the league. Cow pits, finally got the ball a little bit last week. Calling for him to get the ball, the previous couple of weeks, and then I said that the rookies are down, the exception to that is Drake London, Garrett Wilson, and Chris olave and Drake London happens to be on the falcons and is having a monster a year. And Cleveland is a bottom third past defense so far. I think there are ranked 20 seconds. So my start is Marcus Mariota. I have something to support that that sounds pretty wild, but would you believe that the second highest over runner of the week is Cleveland at Atlanta?

This is it for them. They have to win this game. They lost this game last year, so right? They're pissed off. They lost the jets. Why are they making it four and a half even? Because the Bengals. The Jets have a good defense in the Bengals have been proven they can block yet. That would be one reason.

"This. The jets aren't bad. They say that. They had receivers open a lot. And Garrett Wilson looked like he got hurt. He got pushed out, he landed on and said, but I was like, oh man, can't the Jets have nice things. No. Then he came back, made the big play, but I actually thought it Flacco was a little more confident. They would have even had more points than they did. Defense was pretty solid. And I thought they really made the browns work for it. And I was going to come out of that game going. You know what? Impressive by the browns. Two. Two hard fought wins, but they pulled it out. And then all of a sudden, the jets are celebrating. It was very un jets like. That was the most surprising thing. It was like the brown's history Trump the jets history somehow. Yeah, yeah. What the W in front of the jet. Yeah, I agree. And I was making fun. I'm like, oh, this Joe Flacco, Garrett Wilson. It's going to be a combination for the age, as you see. There's like, holy crap, he did it again. Is this going to stop? And while brace hall scoring too, like this is, this is amazing. But no, although when 5 or 6 games, but they beat the they beat the team they needed to be. LeBron. Yeah, true. Sneaky part of it was the brown side, a chance to get the winning field goal. They got a $1500 last week. Percent had them near midfield. They had a timeout. It felt like he was going to make a play and they were going to at least get a kick. And then he screwed up and that was it. I thought that was indefensible. Cardinals raiders, the Raiders offensively, they were just cruising. The Cardinals at halftime, I was ready. I wrote down in my notes. Is this the worst team in the league? Tyler had checked out defensively they were a mess. And it looked like it was going to be, I had a bet. I did a $1 million picks that the Raiders were going to win between 11 and 20. Points. And I was like, oh God, don't score too many points. I'm not going to win my bet. All of a sudden, they kind of turtled. They got super, I don't know, conservative, like Adams was barely involved in that game. All of a sudden, the cardinals just had the ball. It seemed like for a half hour straight at one point card didn't have the ball for a half hour. And you could see the Raiders wearing out and Kyler as usual as soon as they went schoolyard with him. He's unstoppable. And they were down 16 and I started to have that uh oh moment, didn't you? Because we had a lot of raiders money. Yeah, because they couldn't get the ball back either. Then they show a stat. They hadn't had an offensive play for 49 minutes. One of the longest stretches. And it's not like a Super Bowl Sunday where Lady Gaga did an hour and a half duet with Tony Bennett during halftime. No, it was just regular football. They couldn't get on offense, but even so, like with all the non Crosby, what do you do? Do you rush somebody? Do you just rush somebody? He's better off when he's moving, right? Because when he's in the pocket and he's throwing, he's as he's, I think, lower third, really, I really do with kyla Murray, but when he's moving, he's one of the top 5 or four 6 right in there. So the rush max Crosby, because he's one of the best in the game, where do you just come back? I don't even know what the hell to do with him anymore. I don't even know who to compare Kyler too. He's almost like really more an MBA player than an NFL player when you watch him where he's like watching this NBA star that just doesn't have it. It doesn't seem like he even cares that he doesn't have it. You're at the game, you're kind of watching him from the stands and there's three for 15 and you're like, this is not playing defense. This guy give a shit. And then all of a sudden they turn it on, they start making shots. And then it becomes like a little Kyrie ish where you're watching going, oh my God, how do you stop this? And it wasn't that kid. Marquise Brown, AJ green, some dude torch. Where did I know George has a receiver? Yeah, no, he doesn't. Yeah. That was it. And he's just running around and he can buy himself 5 seconds, 6 seconds. And if you try to grab me, squirms away, and all of a sudden he's buying three more seconds. And at some point, it was like Jesus. They might actually, and then they won. Yeah, grandpa Kyler, tell us about the past catchers you had on your team. Oh, that was torched, and there was irks. And old man AJ green who dropped like four big passes. What the hell? But I would say from a gambler's perspective, maybe we should start looking at these teams that were 15 to one to win in the fourth quarter. And that's what the cargos were. 15. We would have time. It was 20 zero and a half time. And the line for the second half was even. Yeah. That's how did the Cardinals look? It was even. You could have you could have just had any version of under 20 and you win with a cardinal's bed. I didn't think about doing it, did you? No, no, I didn't, because you just figure, you want to cash in on your money line, Paul is not worried about hedging at all. Yeah. You know disgusting. I came away from that game. Kind of disgusted by both teams because that's not the Cardinals were a hot mess. And then they just, Kyler just got hot like an NBA player and he saved them, but they certainly didn't look well run. They didn't look well managed. It was impressive they fought back, but the Raiders, I thought were just so bizarre, game management wise, offensively. I just didn't understand anything they were doing, especially in the OT. And now they're owing to. So we have that. And then the third one, the third comeback was Baltimore, which I think I'm going to give the most of a free pass to. Their defense is already crushed by injuries. You have these two fast guys on Miami water on tyreek, which as I've watched now two full games of them. Yeah. It's a little bit unlike anything we've had before. And in the second half, these guys are flying around, they're running four to 40s all over the place. And all of a sudden they were just wide open all the time. And I felt like the ravens ran out of gas, didn't you? Yeah, I've watched waddell, my bench for the last two weeks. So yeah, I've gotten to kick out of that number one at home doing there. The thing with the ravens all, this is why you might consider it the most disappointing. Their offense is built to never blow leads. Real, right? They should be able to run the clock out better than anyone. Now I understand dobbins didn't play. But between Lamar and, you know, whatever you want to put together with Justin hill and Kendra, kenyon Drake, and whoever else is getting the carries, I just feel like they should be able to, I mean, as dobbins that big a difference, if they have him, they definitely run it out. It's not a problem. And two is not a legend and he's not sending him the can in Ohio just yet.

"Than the Patriots and maybe the Texans name a team with a less sexy wide receiver room. Chicago Bears. Yeah, bears was the first one that came to mind. Boom, done. Darnell Mooney's better than anyone that's on there though. Oh, stop it. I'd rather have, well, I'd rather have Burke's treylon Burks than Darnell Mooney just out of pure upside. They also have coal command versus Austin hooper. Dude, Austin hooper's about the ball out this year. He has finished top 5 titles. Probably better season in his career than now I will say met is my boy. So you are absolutely right. You don't want to talk down on him. Name another one. Another writer receiver crew that's what was the two you said? New England and Houston. I like Houston's wide receivers. Well, I like two of them. I think personally, I think their top bottom 5, wide receiver room. Probably aren't great. It's Kenny gallaudet. It was always hurt and a lot of unproven guys. Yeah. I think you're probably right. I mean, they don't have great wide receivers, but they have a ton of potential with Kyle Kuzma. Jacksonville for that. Yeah, I think I would rather have the Titans. Yeah, I would too. I mean, Robert Woods is probably better than Christian Kirk. Yeah. Because the number one. I mean, even if you look at, well, I was going to say the jets, but they have Elijah Moore, and then literally a guy that the Titans got rid of. They had Garrett Wilson. I really have Garrett Wilson, but you just said that the Giants have unproven guys. I mean, garibaldi hasn't proven anything. When I say, when I say, said it like three times, why on a while, it keeps coming sexy. People that I would want to draft and store. Like I would take, yes, trailer, so I would take in, but I would take Elijah Moore or Garrett Wilson before anyone else on the Titans. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. What about the packers here? I'll throw one last one out there. That's pretty good. A couple of rookies and Sammy Watkins. I think it's definitely still probably have a top or a bottom 6 at least wide receiver crew. Cool. Let's pick their games. Brian can't pick them to win every single game? Oh, sorry. Well, I'll make you pick week two because I'm interested to see what you'll say. That beat the bills in week two. We're both picking all of them, right? Oh yeah, yeah, that's right. Rob you go first, New York at home to start the season. Which New York team? It's the Giants. Giants. I do want to say with this one. It could be a potential. I know it's week one, but this could be a look ahead spot for the Titans where they're looking to week two with big money that football matchup with the bills. So I don't think it'd be crazy to say the Titans go out there and lay an egg week one against the Giants. I don't expect them to lose, but I think this could be like a kick a game winning field goal kind of game where they're struggling all game. Giants come out with a new head coach, want to play hard. I could see them losing, but I'll take the Titans. I could see it. But I think the coaching is way too good for the Titans for that to come out and actually manifest this happening. So I'm going to go with the Titans. Want to know, week two. Let's go. I mean, I'm still doing it when they're home opener.

The Aussies and moves are now basically all done rosters are pretty much finalized. We got a couple more moves that will happen in the next couple months, but I want to set our expectation levels now and then for the next month and a half roughly we'll dive into film and do a lot of film analysis content. And then early early August end of July, roughly we'll start getting into pre season predictions, but let's set our expectations now. These are the teams that I think are the best in each division in the AFC. Let's start out east. Who is the best team in the AFC east? I think the answer is rather obvious. But let's take our time getting there, it is not the New York Jets. I like what the jets are doing. I think they're headed in the right direction. And honestly, I feel kind of bad for the jets because I think they're scheduled is brutal. They're a young team. There's a lot of exciting young names. You got Zach Wilson, Elijah Moore, Garrett Wilson, Quinn and Williams, John Franklin Myers, Jeremiah Johnson, and that's just a few of the guys to be excited about on the jets roster. But let's be clear. Despite a couple of exciting names and maybe hope for a couple of years from now, everyone knows even jets fans, the jets are not the best team out east. Now, what about Miami? Miami is interesting. They got a new coach Mike mcdaniel. They've got a new star receiver tyreek hill. He's going to be paired up with jaylen wild two as a quarterback. We got a new offensive system.

"Slightly get better. Hard to hate on someone who adds two new solid contributors to your defense. But last night, the packers did nothing to solve their biggest need, which is at the receiver position. Here are the guys that they watched get traded for or drafted last night. They sat by and watched as other teams made moves for these guys. AJ Brown, Marquise Brown, Drake, London, Garrett Wilson, Chris olav, jamison Williams, Jahan Dodson, trailer burkes, they just watched, like, you know what? We know we need a receiver, but we're gonna let 8 other receivers get traded for or drafted what we do nothing. They were all gone by pick 18. The packers first pick was 22nd overall. They could have traded up. They had too late first round picks if they wanted to trade up and get Jahan dots and I think would have been a great fit. They could have made that happen. But they refused to make a move. They're the passive packers. That's what I'm going to call them from now on. The passive Green Bay Packers, their quarterback has passive aggressive, their organization refused to make aggressive moves. All right. Sit there and watch. It's not compelling to me. That's the thing. It's not that the packers are bad or terribly run or all this stuff. But they're not compellingly run. When I watched Philadelphia trade for AJ Brown, if I'm an eagles fan, I'd be like, hell yeah, I love that. My team is making moves. Let's go. The jets made a move. The saints traded up to get their receiver they wanted. Sorry, sorry, the saints made a move to get the receiver they want to crystallize it. And the packers are just not compelling. Remember, Aaron Rodgers took their money. He chose to stay. Aaron Rodgers said, it's fine. He's like that meme or the world, you know, the house is burning around him. He's like, it's fine. I took $50 million. I chose money over winning. All right man, I hope you're having fun with no one to throw to. This is the true statement about the Green Bay Packers last night. They could have made they're not a victim, they could have made a move to go get a receiver last night, they chose not to. And I think they made their life a little bit harder. Hey, their defense is better. That's awesome. It's getting ready. I've always said, hey, who cares when you draft a receiver, you just need to get a good receiver, but there were good receivers out there last night..

"So the other question for the last display devil's advocate with Baltimore, but we're hanging on to his pick. So we got to get moving. Their typical MO in the draft is to hit doubles not homers, right? Like one of those teams that's usually pretty set on, we're just going to get it right. We're not necessarily going to hit the highest ceiling. We're not going to hit a home run. But we're going to get on base with every pick that we make early in the draft. So then it's probably not Jameson Williams, and it's probably Garrett Wilson. Yeah, maybe it's a better fit for them anyway. Yeah. So direction that they go here with this pick, I think, is to move up the draft a wide receiver to help out. All right, I'm just forcing it because this is right on the trade chart. All right. So we take Garrett Wilson here. Are we taking Jameson here? Garrett Wilson, based on wages said fair enough. Yeah. I mean, they like big receivers and let's drink London. I know you don't like them, but they might like Drake London better. Yeah, I mean, I like Drake London in general. I just don't think that I would take him if I was Bill Belichick just because of some of his shortcomings. You're not Bill Belichick right now. You're Baltimore. Drake London Garrett Wilson, who's a double. Which one's a better double? I would say Garrett Wilson. I think they need to be able to create separation of that receiver position. I get the contestant catching the catch radius could be helpful too. And some degree can make that argument, but I think Garrett Wilson is the best option here. I think him in the lobby are getting almost underrated at this point. Yeah. All right, so there's that. We've made our first trade, this is best player available. I think this is cave on thibodeau. Yeah, if they get kid one 8, that's incredible. I mean, that's an incredible pick that that's a home run. Absolutely. No pass rush last year. If he stays healthy, he's.

"Bet online where the game starts. So Kevin, I've started to do tip my toe into the draft waters and I've started with receiver because I do think the Patriots have some interest in getting somebody and we talked about they don't have any receivers signed by 2023. And you would love to have a guy that you can bring in with Mac Jones and sort of pair him with him. You know, I wanted to ask you because I was listening to Chris Simms podcast the other day. And he had his top 5. He's often unorthodox, but I think he's pretty good at what he does and he knows what he's looking at in terms of talent. I found it very interesting and I wanted to get your reaction. That he all right, crystal lava sort of like a borderline top 5 type of guy in terms of at the receiver position. But he didn't have Garrett Wilson on his top 5. I think James Williams was Jameis Williams Jameson Williams from Alabama was by far his number one. Of course he's coming off the ACL. But just, you know, I know you're at least in your mock dress you've had Garrett Wilson going high just sort of year. I wanted to get your quickie thoughts on that. And he's not the he likes to Drake London was in his top 5. I don't think he's the biggest fan of Drake London but he had a couple other guys that surprised me. Watson from North Dakota. He's also high on birks. I saw Burks at the combine and I was in his workout. I was not impressed by trailing Burke's. He did not stand out to me. So, yeah, so I'm going to disagree with Chris a little bit, right? So I think that Garrett Wilson, for me, he's a three level threat. So he's quick on short routes. He needs some route running refinement, but I think he can be a good route runner. Which is going to help us intermediate and he's got plenty of speed. So good body control, a lead ability to separate. So when he catches the football, we talk about Jameis and Williams, who is an absolute not only does James Williams have great speed, but he has great burst, which creates that lethal combination, right?.

I like him with the ball in his hands. I mean, if you were super bummed over the jamison Williams injury, you know, I don't think he's as polished and I don't think he's as fast as Williams, but this is something of, I don't know, I don't call him off brand Jameson Williams, but you know something of a lesser Jameson Williams. I would say we can start normalizing calling someone a Kirkland brand version because Kirkland brand is not off brand. Essentially, a Kirkland brand is the same thing, but just in slightly different packaging and it's gonna cost the little less and you're just not gonna think it's as good, but it might be as good, right? Yeah, and Kirkland brand pampers are just pampers. But at the same diaper, I should say let's thank our sponsors at Kirkland for him this week. I'll go with that. I'm on board. Yeah. Hey, it's Kirk Kirkland brand. Williams, but I really good like hyper athletic. There's some of the plays that he made on the site. He was not getting perfect footballs by any stretch of the imagination on a consistent basis. And he still, you know, in that continuous motion, like catching balls that are like way over his head at the ground. I don't think he got enough credit for the degree of difficulty there and probably if we had, which I'm waiting for my sports info solutions draft guide. Maybe they didn't send it to me this year. But maybe some sort of a completion percentage over expectation, little boost that he gave the quarterback there because I think he really did he was up in the air kind of bending reaching a lot and making some good grabs. His teammate Chris olave here who was a sort of surprise return to school guy this time last year, but really fast, really smooth, really seems to know what he has to do and where he has to go and how he's to get there out on the field. You worry a little bit, you know, 6 feet, I think he was like one 85 at the combine. How does he play in traffic? How does he play in contested catch situations, but it seems like at the very least, you know, he's a nice complimentary receiver to have out there for someone. Yeah, I've liked what he did out of the backfield. At Ohio State, which I think a couple of shows ago we were talking about, really that's where tyreek hill is going to benefit to a tongue by low, right? And he's not Tyree kill by any stretch of the imagination, but he has a lot of out of backfield experience..

"Trayvon walker can play and he can play stand up edge rusher. He can probably play off the line a little bit if you want to put him there or rush on the interior around passing situations. He's somebody that I think is going to be pretty high on the board as well for the Patriots just because of his versatility and all the different things that he was able to do in the Jordan defense. Now, you mentioned Garrett Wilson. He's an interesting one to me as well because he is a guy that in the past has not necessarily been drafted very high. A 183 pounds, I don't think he's going to run a four three, right? I think he's going to run pretty well, but I don't think it's going to blow everybody out of the water. And when you look at his projection to the NFL, he is somebody that's probably going to be a slot receiver. Only and not a slot receiver in the aspect that like Jalen waddle is a slot receiver or a tyreek hill as a soccer fever. He is a technical spot receiver. So I haven't talked a lot about Garrett Wilson at 21 for the pads because and a lot of consensus board. He's a top 15 guy, right? On board that we use these 12 currently. 12 on the big board 13 in the mock. Yep. Yeah. So he's going ahead of the Patriots in most mock drafts that you see in the media. But when you look at his skill set, when you look at his weight, when you look at what he's probably going to time in the 40, he's not necessarily the type of guy that goes top ten or top 15 in the draft historically. I don't know how you feel about Garrett Wilson. I've always kind of been on the olave trade a little bit more than Garrett Wilson, just because I thought alava was more realistic. But now in this weight comes in, knowing that Garrett Wilson's probably not going to put up a four three, I am interested to have that conversation a little bit more what Garrett Wilson would be like in this offense. Yeah, I'm kind of in the same boat as you. I didn't really pay a ton of attention to him just because I didn't think he's a realistic candidate. I still like a lot better. I think Wilson's probably better right now, but I think a lava, I think the floors are similar, Wilson's is probably a little higher, but I think the floors are similar, but in terms of upside, I think a lava has much more upside. And more positional versatility too, you bring a lobby. Right. He plugs like Wilson's your slot receiver. That's what he is. He's gonna be a good one. But who else is your slot receiver? That's what he is. You bring in a lava and maybe he's your slot receiver year one. Year two, you know, a couple years down the road, you need an X, you can move them over. You could realistically move them over there and he's still probably going to be a good player. So I understand why Wilson's projected higher. Like if we're doing an overall board, just like in general, you're starting a team, right?.

"He had nowhere to throw it and Greg the officials letting them play tonight. There's not been a penalty in this game. There hasn't that time thought they might have called one as he escaped to his right and right tackle.
