Ultraflex Football
A highlight from 43: Week 2 Recap
"Welcome to the Ultraflex Football Podcast. Move over Pat McAfee. There's no denying that we are here to spice up your life and never forget about the good times. I'm your host, Anthony Sutton. With me, as always, is Rob Green. Man, I wasn't prepared for that change. What's up? What's going on? And Viva Forever, Ryan Wheeler. I feel so much pressure. Now we got to be better than Pat McAfee. All right. Oh, we got the... Go ahead. No, he's actually like swearing on ESPN now, and he's got like Mike Greenberg, he swore on ESPN now because of McAfee. He's actually... A little more laid back now, huh? Yeah, he wears a tank top. He's very good for ESPN, in my opinion. Go ahead. He's spicing up Disney, huh? I think I saw, didn't they have to put him on like an extra delay versus normal? I mean, I wouldn't be surprised. He has to cut out the F words a little bit, I heard. Someone's got to tell him to stop the cursing. No. Why? That's what makes it fun. I'm like eight song titles through my album here, so. Oh, he's like, damn, you're doing song titles already? Yeah, I thought you had to say him first. Holy moly. All right, well, we're about to find out what your song titles were. So Tony messed up two weeks ago. He didn't get all the song titles in, so now he has an album to himself, but because this is a team sport, a team podcast, Rob and I now have to split apart, or a album between ourselves. So Rob and I have Good Charlotte, The Young and the Hopeless. My songs are A New Beginning, Lifestyle of the Rich and the Famous, Wondering, The Story of My Old Man, Girls and Boys, and My Bloody Valentine. Rob? I don't know, man. I'm not feeling good about this week. This is a lot. Seven songs and a half hour show. All right, I got Hold On, Riot Girl, Say Anything, The Day That I Die, The Young and the Hopeless, Emotionless, and Movin' On. Tony, we're all wondering, what do you have? You have the Spice Girls, my man. And I already, I've gotten already into the pod. I've already gotten Spice Up Your Life, Stop, Never Give Up on Good Times, Move Over, Denying, and Viva Forever. I still need to get in Too Much, Saturday Night Divas, Do It, and The Lady is a Vamp, which will probably be a difficult one. Hold on, can you say that one more time? What was that? The Lady is a Vamp. Like a vampire, assuming? What's a vamp? It's a vampire. And that's from the Spice World album. 1997 made me feel old AF. 97, wow. I remember watching the Spice World movie, the Spice Girls movie. I do not remember. Oh, you guys didn't have older sisters, that's why. No. All right, anyway. Movin' On. All right, speaking of Movin' On, the NFL schedule moved on. We are now in week two, so let's get to Football Talk. And I guess technically we're in week three, so we're going to recap week two. As always, we're going to start with the Bills game, go to the Titans game, and then kind of what else is going on. So, Rob, you were at the Bills Raiders game. What were your biggest takeaways? It was a fun home opener. The Bills got back to their winning ways with a nice, easy, I'd even want to say I was worried at the beginning. It was a little annoying that they fell behind 7 -0, but I was confident they would still pull it out. They did. Josh Allen ended up AFC Offensive Player of the Week, I think the 11th time in his career now, which is pretty impressive. Wow, the franchise record. Oh, I didn't know that. Nice stat. You beat Jim Kelly, it was 10 times. Well, pretty nice. Feels like a new beginning for the Bills, for sure. Nice, Ryan. Where was I going with that? I told you guys a stat yesterday, actually, that surprised me, but Josh Allen is number one in completion percentage so far this year. I know it's only two games in, but fun little tidbit there. It's crazy how much can change week by week in the NFL, and it's going to happen again this week. If the Bills were to lose to Washington and go 1 -2, then it almost feels like the game, I know it wouldn't be a must -win, but it feels like the game against the Dolphins the following week would feel like a must -win. That way, they're not 1 -3 and that far behind the Dolphins, but yeah, it's crazy how much can change in one week in the NFL. Oh, show. My biggest takeaway, and I said it last week, kind of a similar takeaway for me was last year it felt like we never got pressure on the quarterback. This year, it feels like we're constantly getting the opposing quarterback pressure, and it feels like our offensive line is playing well, so big task, which is we're physical, we can run the ball, we can block, we can get pressure. It's a good change of pace. I don't know, honestly, I'm not smart enough to tell you if McDermott's play calling is a factor in that, or if it's just Leonard Floyd, hopefully his ankle's okay, is better, and Ed Oliver's having a better year, so on and so forth. Yes, I saw his average depth of tackle is negative yards right now, which is impressive. So his average tackle is a tackle for a loss. That's awesome. That's literally the definition of blowing up a play. So yeah, it's exciting. Obviously, this win means something, but it doesn't really if you go and lose to Washington, so got to two and one. Two and one, by the way. Oh, yeah. I think everyone does the thing where you kind of... Did we just lose our host? It kind of looks like a frozen face there. Okay. Hey, frozen face. Oh, Rob, it's you and I. Let's do this thing. All right. So I didn't get to talk about the Titans at all. Can we say anything now, because he's gone? Yeah, we can say anything. Say anything, say anything. Sorry, I can't sneak any of these. Good Charlotte. Anywho, girls and boys, my takeaway is that the Titans are who I thought they were. The team that... I guess who a lot of Titans fans thought they were. The team that's probably... You are who we thought you were. Welcome back, Anthony. Thanks. They're the team that's going to beat the good teams and lose to the teams they should beat. And that's how it feels like the Titans have always been. They keep every game close. They have a shot. They have a chance in every game. So they're not quite the young and the hopeless, but they're just maybe like the mediocre. No, they're not the young and the hopeless. Oh, I thought that was one of my song titles. That's the... Oh, no. Oh, no. Clearly. Well, okay. I guess I can cross that one off my list then. Anywho, you know who else I was impressed with was the Falcons. They play a certain brand of football. It's the NFC Titans. I think I have to be a fan of the Falcons now. But just ground and pound, they came back. They were able to pull that one out in Green Bay. So... Yeah. The Falcons. To your point, there's not many teams, I feel like, in the NFL that have an identity, like a true identity. The Falcons are one that you know exactly what you're getting every week. And that could be really good or it could be really bad. Oh, for sure. One of my week two takeaways is prior to the season, it was always... And I was the one on this podcast kind of leading the charge is how good the AFC is gonna be. And then if like through two weeks, which is, again, a small sample size, it feels like the 49ers, Eagles, and Cowboys are playing just as well as anybody. And they're all in the NFC. Now, the NFC doesn't have much else to offer, but those three teams are gonna be very formidable to whoever comes out of the AFC come Super Bowl time. Yeah. At this point, their high -end talent almost seems better than the AFC with a lot of the top teams in the AFC struggling. So... Do you guys think that three of the top five teams in the NFL are NFC teams? Maybe even three of the top four teams in the NFL? I think that's fair right now. Yeah. That's crazy, isn't it? Because before the season, it was like, the AFC is so strong, so good. They have all the good quarterbacks and two weeks is a pretty small sample size, but I think... I think at this point, yeah, it's safe to say those three teams are top five. I don't even know who you would put... I mean, I guess the Dolphins are probably the best team in the AFC at the moment. I mean, the Chiefs scored 17 points against the Jaguars. And I mean, the Bills looked very good last week, but you can't ignore how poorly they looked the first week on offense. So... And then obviously, the Bengals Chargers being 0 -2 hurts the AFC's, I guess, power rankings or however you want to look at it. And then Rogers being hurt. Those are three teams that I thought were going to have a very good season. They still might. Maybe not the Jets, but the Chargers and the Bengals.

I'm on a bunch of pop culture podcasts this week. Did a rewatchables on Monday night. We did Black Hat. Also was on the Big Picture. We did a big Denzel Washington movie draft. I got way too competitive. And then on Wednesday night, Amanda Dobbins and I on the Prestige TV Podcast, we broke down the first two episodes of season three of The Morning Show. The most ridiculous show on television, not just this year, but every year it's on. It just wins the title automatically. If they had a ridiculous show category at the Emmys, they wouldn't even have any of their nominees. I mean, maybe winning time would get nominated. I don't know. But Morning Show just clears it out. What a batshit, crazy, ridiculous show. Wow. It's really like they created a podcast thing so we could just break down the morning show. That's really, I think, the real reason behind podcasting in general. Coming up on this podcast, Million Dollar Picks and a little Vikes Eagles at the top. And then editor at large at the Ringer, Brian Curtis, who was also a giant Cowboys fan, comes on and talk about the Cowboys. Could this be the year? Keep saying that, but could this be the year? And we talked some NFL stuff. We talked some sports media stuff. We talked about documentaries and just all the stuff that happens when Brian Curtis comes on. Oh, we talked about Joe Buck and Troy Aikman as well, who have hit a really interesting milestone as a combo. So that happened. And then Kevin Hench, my buddy, the Red Sox fired their GM today, and we couldn't resist spending 20 minutes recapping. One of the four -year oddest, strangest four -year runs the Red Sox have ever had. And we're still in the middle of it. And I still don't understand why Mookie Betts isn't on the team but also like, man, since the 2018 World Series, the Red Sox have just been a hot dumpster fire. And I say that knowing that they almost made the World Series two years ago, but when you look at everything that happened, wow. So Hench comes on and talk about that. It is all next. First, our friends from Pearl Jam. ["Pearl Jam Theme Song"] All right, I'm taping this part of the podcast. It is 11 .31 East Coast time. East Coast Bill is here. East Coast Bill is in Boston. I was visiting my daughter and doing some other stuff. And Thursday Night Football came on and I thought it would be a great idea to do the top segment after Eagles Vikings. East Coast Bill fell asleep at halftime. It was a new record for me. I guess I'm old. I have another birthday coming up this week. This is why I live on the West Coast because I talk about sports for a living. And East Coast Bill gets a little sleepy when the game is kind of boring and plodding along. So East Coast Bill missed some time, had to catch up, had to do a little rewind. Fortunately, there's so many commercials. I was able to still watch anything, but the Eagles beat the Vikings. They're now 2 -0 on the season. And I would say it's an uninspiring 2 -0. They probably shouldn't have covered against the Pats. They could have lost. This game they win, they don't cover. I guess on the good side, the DeAndre Swift, they traded like a 15th round pick in 2038 for them. And this little way they put together their offense where they load up on wide receivers, they hit the jackpot with hurts, and then they just say, you know what we're going to do? Just grab running backs because there's 98 of them every year. We're just going to grab two and pay nothing for them. So offensively, they look great. Defensively, you saw it last week with the Pats. The Pats were able to throw it on them. Mack almost had 300 yards in the last three quarters of that game. This game, Kirk Cousins, over and over again, heroically going for the cover, finally gets it. The Vikings cover, they don't win. Home team's now 5 -12 against the spread this season. Underdogs are 10 -7 against the spread. But for the most part, not allowed to report, the Eagles just state. They messed around in the first quarter and then said, screw it, and ran the ball down Minnesota's throat. I was thinking, Eagles, Cowboys, if you were going to make a combined over or under for wins for them, and I gave you 26, would you go over or under 26 wins combined for the two teams? They're 3 -0 right now. I would probably go over, especially when you look at the NFC and you think Philly, Dallas, San Francisco, lock those three down. I like Green Bay, Detroit, maybe New Orleans, Atlanta, and maybe that's the seven for the playoffs. And then you have Tampa Bay and the Rams. Who knows what was real and what wasn't real. Tampa Bay beat Minnesota by three in week one. We're like, oh, Tampa Bay, that's interesting. But now Minnesota's 0 -2, maybe that doesn't even matter. Rams, who knows? I mean, they just have so few good players that the moment two of them get hurt, it feels like their free fall will happen. So the NFC is already kind of uninteresting, I guess is my bigger point. Unless the Giants can rally, and who knows after the 40 -0 debacle last week, they're playing Arizona this week, so they looked out of that. But for the most part, it seems like three good teams, maybe the Packers, maybe the Lions, maybe the Saints, and then we're going to have a really bad seven seed. So if you're Minnesota, and you're looking at 31 of 270 teams started 0 -2 and made the playoffs since 1990. 31 out of 270. I can't do math, but that's not good. If you're Minnesota, at what point do you consider trading Cousins? Cousins was all over the place on the internet this week as a possible Rogers replacement. He makes 35 million this year, that's it. The Jets, I think, could do some chicanery if they wanted to. They have this thing where the Packers, it's a conditional, I think second, that turns into a first, but the Packers would have to waive the right for the condition. Clearly, Rogers is going to play 70 % of the plays, but still, they'd have to figure out some way. But if you're the Jets, could you somehow trade for Cousins and save your season? We're going to find out a lot about the Jets this week against Dallas. They get annihilated and they're one -on -one for the season, but annihilates Dallas them and they have to look at their offense and go, all right, we have a really good team. What are we going to do? Is it Jacoby Brissett or do we swing big and try to get Cousins for a year? Cousins has over 700 yards and six TDs in the first two weeks. He's been a fantasy god. I don't know how that plays out. I wish it was like basketball where I could just put stuff in the trade machine and see if it's going to work. For some reason, we made football trades more complicated than basically anything on the earth. I have no idea how the Jets would trade for Cousins, how it'd work, what the mechanics of it would be. What's he worth? Is he worth a first rounder for one year? Is he worth a third rounder? You just never know. Again, DeAndre Swift went for a 15th rounder in 2038. Cousins, I have my eye on because if you're Minnesota, you're not good. You were completely lucky last year to go 13 and four, whatever it was. Now that's evened out and maybe you start looking around and going, all right, let's pack in this year. I don't know what would have to happen, what number they would have to get to. Would they have to be one and four, one and five, one and six? But Cousins to the Jets, it's a fun talk radio topic, at least. We're not doing talk radio here. We're doing sleepy sports podcasting, but Cousins to the Jets has always felt right. It's always felt kind of perfect. He always just felt like a Jet waited to happen at some point in his career. The Jets fans listening to this right now are like, how can he keep doing this to us? We just had the Rogers thing. We had Zach Wilson. Now you're gonna throw Cousins at us. But again, Cousins, a little bit of a turnaround. He was in that Netflix show. He's kind of the big winner of quarterbacks with Mariota being the big loser. But I feel like the tide's turning on Cousins. Even Primetime Kirk today, always a disaster, gets the cover. Who knows? Put him in New York. We'll see. Philly's got, they're just basically have to figure out what their team is. They've already had a bunch of injuries and they even had a little AJ Brown, Jalen Hurts. Who knows what happened on the sidelines there, but didn't look awesome. But they have two months here to figure out their team. They're a big stretch. Week nine, Sunday, Dallas, that's home in Philly. Bi -week, week 11 at Kansas City on a Monday night. Week 12, Buffalo home. Week 13, San Francisco home. And week 14 at Dallas. So again, Dallas at KC, Buffalo, San Francisco at Dallas. And that's gonna be the five game stretch that determines are we a one seed? Are we a two seed? What is our season gonna look like? And they just have to get there. They have to stay healthy and they have to get to that point. So not a lot of lessons from Philly, Minnesota. Do I regret staying up? Although I guess I didn't stay up because I got this little nap in at halftime.

From training materials to resources that can help you generate a greater profit. Learn more about growing your business with us at jameshardee .com slash build. Hey, guys. I got some breaking news for the NFL and crypto fans out there. There's some ways to make more money with crypto if you're a fan of fantasy football in the NFL like a lot of you probably are. Now, guys, unless you're under a rock, you've heard of fantasy football. Well, there's a crypto aspect to fantasy football, and that's draft kings. Draft kings have NFTs of every single player that you could draft. So if you play fantasy football and you see that random wide receiver, that random running back, you can draft that as an NFT. Well, there's a big, big injury that happened on Sunday. You maybe saw Aaron Rodgers. He got a career -ending injury, potentially career -ending. It's definitely season -ending. It's a bad Achilles heel injury, and he is out. Well, where's the crypto opportunity in that? Well, NFTs of Zach Wilson. Zach Wilson was the backup player for the Green Bay Packers. NFTs of Zach Wilson shot up from $69 all the way up to $555. Okay, that is an 8x. That's almost a 900 % gain right there. Sorry. No, it's 700%. That's almost a 700 % gain right there, folks. All right. Thank you, editor, for bearing with me here. Now, that NFT was for the elite version, and there's only 30 copies of those. So the less supply there is, the more value that these NFTs are going to have. So you don't want to go for the common or the uncommon if you're trying to flip NFTs. A lot of times, you just want to go for the rare for that hot, for that holy grail of the NFTs there. Now, what is the next opportunity, guys? Now, this was a huge, huge gain, okay? Going from $69, which is a pretty nice price, all the way up to $550, that's people would go crazy. A Wall Street guru, the world's best Wall Street trader, would go nuts for those types of returns. Well, guys, I think these returns can be had regularly, okay? Now, it might not always be a marquee player like, you know, Aaron Rodgers is in the backup, but sometimes, you know, running backs get injured all the time. Wide receivers get injured all the time. Other quarterbacks, there's, you know, almost 30 other quarterbacks that are, you know, worth their salt there. There's going to be tons of opportunities. Say your fantasy football team is doing terrible. You're horrible. You're in last place. You know you're not going to get in the playoffs. It's three weeks in, and you basically want to throw in the towel. Well, don't give up because there's a lot of opportunity with this DraftKings angle. All you have to do is just watch Sunday. Be the first one or two people to buy the NFT of that soon -to -be upgraded bench warmer, okay? Maybe it's a running back. Maybe it's a quarterback. Maybe it's a wide receiver. You don't know who's it going to be because we don't know who's going to get injured. There's going to be a lot of people maybe watching behind. There's going to be people FOMOing in later. There's going to be people maybe buying it an hour later. I want you to be watching the game, and I want you buying that NFT within seconds. Now, if you have a knowledge about football and you have a knowledge about crypto, this is a unique opportunity for you because not everyone is going to have your knowledge. Not everyone has your years of training being that armchair quarterback. You know, watching this channel, discovering crypto, figuring out how to get this wallet, figuring out what do you mean NFT marketplace, knowing what that means, knowing what your seed phrase is, having it written down, having all these things safe and having a roster of NFL NFTs that you can capitalize off of as there's going to be a lot of opportunity here. Sixteen weeks left, right? Seventeen weeks in the season. We got a lot of weeks left in the season. That's a lot of weeks of injuries. That's a lot of weeks of buying NFTs. And, guys, it's not just Sunday. We got Monday. We got Thursday. I think even Saturday night sometimes, so there's going to be opportunity. So if you're a football fan, turn it into an opportunity, a money -making opportunity. I'm not saying, you know, you're going to get paid 100 bucks an hour to watch football, but some people literally were paid hundreds of dollars an hour to watch football. Those that bought that Zach Wilson NFT and those that sold into the profit because that's going to be the key as well is spiked all the way up to 550 bucks. Guess what? Zach Wilson's NFT is now down. It's, I think, under 300. So you sell into the hype. You get in. You get out. There's a lot of opportunity to be made here, folks. I'm trying to give you financial freedom. So if you watch some football, you like NFTs, this is a great opportunity for you. That's all I got. DZ out. Let's discover crypto together, baby. You've been dreaming about the dress.

Welcome to the MMQB podcast. I am Matt Verteram, joined by Gilberto Manzano here. It is Thursday, August 24th, and that means we only have one week of preseason football up. We're all thankful for that. Gil, have you finished up your training camp tour? Are you done now, or you still got a few more you gotta hit? Yeah, no, I'm done, and when you said the date, Matt, I actually forgot what date it is today, so that tells me we're two weeks away from the real football season, so I am done with training camp. I don't know about you, Matt, but after like the fifth or sixth stop, I was over it. I saw enough, you know, kind of somewhat real football. I did check out a couple scrimmages, which felt like a little bit of real football, but before that I was like, I'm over the traveling. Let's just get to the Chiefs and the Lions for that. There's a night opener. Yeah, man, I went to eight camps. I saw nine teams because the Lions and the Giants had joined practice when I was up in Allen Park. The day that I woke up in Kansas City, I actually didn't know what city I was in when I woke up. I had like a two -second, I don't know if panic's the same. So, I'm done. I finished on Tuesday. I went up to Green Bay for the last one, which was kind of more of an add -on at the end. I had gone up there for OTAs to do a feature on Jordan Love, and I wanted to go back up there and visit with Matt Lafleur, and it was worth the six -hour round trip. It was a long, long bit of traveling one day, but we made it happen. How many camps did you get to over the course of the summer? I got to, I want to say eight, and I had like you with the extra one with the Saints. The Saints came to Southern California for joint scrimmage with the Chargers, so technically nine teams, but the way I think I did it was, I think it was five states. I drove to Las Vegas and Arizona, and then I flew to San Jose, Seattle, and Denver, and going from Seattle to Denver, that's the one I felt. But yeah, man, I primarily got the West Coast teams. I got, you know, eight teams. The ones that were easy was the ones in my backyard in LA, the Cowboys, the Chargers, and the Rams, but you know, after the, I got on the plane. You know, at one point I started thinking, I don't know how you did it, Matt, because you were driving everything. Me driving to Las Vegas and Arizona, that was too much. I couldn't do any more car rides after that. Yeah, I didn't fly for any of them. I'm based outside of Chicago. You're based in Los Angeles, so you, your teams are more sprawling for you. I mean, you're not driving to Seattle from LA. For me, the longest drive I had was Kansas City, which was like six and a half hours each way. So I did, I did make that happen. But luckily, like Chicago to Indy's not bad. Indy to Cincinnati's a couple hours. You know, it wasn't, wasn't too bad. Look, we're going to get into Trey Lance. We're going to get into, there was an injury at Broncos camp earlier today before us recording with Jerry Jeudy, with what appears to be a hamstring injury. We'll talk about that a little bit. But I, I want to ask you, so the eight teams you saw, or the eight practices you was the most impressive? And was there a team that stood out to you, either good or bad, that you were kind of surprised by? Yeah, it's a tough question, man, because I was thinking that because I got, I got a good balance of really bad teams from Arizona. I saw our guy, Connor Orr, had him at one and 16 for the, for his win -loss record, a story that came out today. So they, they, they looked like they're going to be really bad. And it was tough for me to figure out who's who on that roster. So I got that. And then I got all the really good teams, like the 49ers, you know, I'm high on the Seahawks, you know, that from our doing our, our midsummer prediction, by the way, that was tough. We had to pick our Super Bowl teams in what, like April or May we're going to do it again. And I'm so happy about that, but the Seahawks look good. I like the Cowboys a lot, but every year it's the same thing. Like they get far and they don't get past the second round. So I can't commit to them. Same thing with the Chargers. They just don't go far. Like they're really hyped to have a lot of good players. So I keep going back to the 49ers because they've shown to me to at least get to the Super Bowl, or at least make it to the NFC title game. And then Brock Purdie being healthy. That to me was all I needed to see to say, you know what? I like the Seahawks, but I'm going to leave that bandwagon and go to the 49ers. Do you believe in Purdie? I mean, look, obviously you believe in him enough that you're, you're, you're high in the Niners, but you know, they'll roll with Purdie, which we knew they would, if he was healthy. Lance is the third string guy. And I know you wrote a piece on trail, Lance, we can get to him in a little bit here. The roster's stacked. I don't think anybody questions that. I mean, they have all pros literally in almost every single meeting room. They, they, they have guys everywhere. They have a very good head coach in Kyle Shanahan, but they've been a team that they haven't found their quarterback or at least they haven't proven to have found their quarterback yet. They went to Jimmy Garoppolo. Garoppolo, of course, now with the Raiders, who you saw as well during your tour.

Tomorrow night, eight Republicans will meet on the stage in Milwaukee for a debate. I am certain that China will come up the Chinese Communist Party, but I'm not sure how. Brett Baer, of course, coming up later in the program. Martha McCollum, two superb professionals, the equal of anyone else in our business, will be asking the question. But I thought I would talk it through with the chairman of the House Select Committee on Engagement with the Chinese Communist Party. Mike Gallagher, congressman. Good morning. Great to have you. Thank you for joining me. It is great to be with you, Hugh. We're going to come back around to this kind of war, which I finished last night on the recommendation of you. It is a remarkable book. And I had no idea how awful the chai comms were to our American prisoners. I just I didn't know. Did you know that before? Did the Marines teach you that when you were in the Marines? No, there's there's two things that I think, well, a lot of actually our modern thinking about how to prepare people for when they get captured. Think survival of Asian resistance and escape school, which I attended when I was in the Marine Corps actually comes out of the experience of the Korean War, particularly some politically sensitive moments when a few American captives refused actually to go home. There was, of course, this controversy during that time period post Korean War in the 50s about this idea of brainwashing. This is prominently expressed in the fictional book The Manchurian Candidate, which became a major American movie. But a lot of our thinking about how to better prepare pilots in particular because they get shot down for resisting in captivity actually comes out of that period. Well, a couple of takeaways I'll never forget. There are no Turks died in the camps. The Turks are the toughest people in the world, and none of them died in the Chinese Communist Party camps. And the Americans didn't eat everything they could eat because they didn't like it and they died of starvation. But the fact that the Chinese communists treated our men that way is a tell because they've reverted to this mode. They were the hardcore Maoist, Leninist mode in 1950 through 1953, and they've reverted. And that's what I want to talk to you about. I want to ask you at length. We got a lot of time this morning and thank you for the time. If you were advising Brett and Martha based upon your six months, what would you tell them are the major takeaways that you've learned as the chairman of the Select Committee? And how would you suggest they be turned into a question? Take your time, because that's a big that's a big question. What have you learned thus far in six months? And how would you convert that into questions for our candidates? Well, I think the overall thing to realize for these candidates and this advice is worth what they're paying me for it is that there is, in my opinion, something called the commander in chief test. It's not you know, you're not graded A through F. I think it's a pass fail endeavor, but it is absolutely critical. Put differently, I'm not myopic enough to believe that foreign policy or a particular issue of foreign policy is going to win the candidate candidate the election, but it could very well lose them the election. The final thing to say about the assumptions going into this when it comes to foreign policy is that the conventional wisdom is that it doesn't really matter from a political electoral perspective. And there's a lot of social science to support that. I just would say it doesn't matter until it does. It doesn't matter until things go haywire on the world stage and suddenly voters are looking to a prospective commander in chief to communicate, if nothing else, a sense of safety that I have the temperament and the plan to keep America safe in a very dangerous world, which leads, I think, to the answer your question more than anything else. I think these candidates need to communicate that they have a clear understanding of the threat we face in the Chinese Communist Party, the scale and scope of this threat. Why this isn't just a matter of some obscure territorial disputes in the South China Sea. This is indeed a global competition. The CCP has global ambitions. What happens in Xinjiang, what happens in Beijing is not going to stay there. They are intent on exporting their model of total techno totalitarian control, which leads to the second point that you need to find a way to contrast that threat to enduring the and inherently superior American values. And I do believe that this is a contest between two fundamentally incompatible systems of government. And it's unlike anything we've seen since, of course, the old Cold War. So communicating the stakes, communicating who we're dealing with in the nature of a Marxist Leninist regime that will stop at nothing to ensure that they survive at the expense of their own people. And that is the enemy of freedom around the world is the most important thing. In fact, I would say even more important than any particular policy position is just communicating that understanding of the threat and the prioritization of the threat, a recognition that as president, the most important issue that you will be dealing with as commander in chief is how to deter a war with the CCP in the short term and win a new Cold War with the CCP over the long term. So let's put that in the form of a question for Brett and Martha, because I think you're right, I am looking at, of course, I've always looked at every one of these debates as an audition to be commander in chief. Eventually, there comes a choice with the Democrat. But right now, when I vote in the Virginia primary, I will vote based on who will be the best commander in chief. And because that's what matter. 9 -11 matters. What is the W do on 9 -11 that matters? What does W do? The Afghanistan and Iraq. What does anyone do on any moment of crisis? What do they do in the situation room? Figuring out how to elicit that about China is a difficult thing. So you've been doing nothing but this for six months. And by the way, recap for our audience and Pittsburgh Steeler fans what you have been doing for six months, because they may never have heard of the select committee. This might be the first day they're listening to the audience. No acronyms or five dollars in the tip jar for food for the poor. Well, the speaker of the House created the select committee on the CCP to do two things. One is to communicate why this matters, why anybody in northeast Wisconsin or Pittsburgh or Ohio should care about the threat posed by the CCP, to shine a light on all the things that they're doing, whether it's threatening to invade Taiwan, whether it's establishing illegal police stations on American soil, whether it's infiltrating American universities or attempting to build spy bases in our near abroad, to explain why it matters and why your average American should care about it. The second thing is to identify policies and pieces of legislation that can pass even in divided government. In the 118th Congress, what is the center of gravity in terms of steps that we can take in order to put ourselves on a better position to beat the CCP in this short and long term competition? So that's what we've been doing. We've broken it down, essentially, as though this isn't a perfect organization into three main lines of effort. And I do think this reflects our overall lines of effort, our grand strategy against China basically has three main components. One is military competition. What are the things we need to do to deter a war over Taiwan in the near term, as well as ensure that we maintain our dominant military position over the long term? The second is what I call economic statecraft. How do we selectively decouple from China so they don't have a coercive leverage over us so they can't threaten, for example, to cut off the export of advanced pharmaceutical ingredients in order to bring us to our knees? And then the third line of effort is what I call ideological warfare or ideological competition, which is not only how do we rediscover a language for talking about American values and incorporate values and human rights back into American grand strategy, but also how do we better defend our institutions from Chinese Communist Party subversion, from something called United Front Work, from traditional espionage, things like that. So we aren't corrupted and divided from within, which is what the Chinese Communist Party is trying to do. Wang Huning, who's Xi Jinping's top lieutenant in the 90s, wrote a book called America Against America, in which he talks about Americans as greedy, factional. And that that title, America against America, I think reflects their overall strategy, which is to divide Americans against Americans and thereby make it impossible for us to compete. So we've been developing policy recommendations along each of those lines. We've put out two reports, one on military competition, one related to human rights. And we're going to be putting out further reports. So, you know, I think those are useful starting points for for candidates who want to prepare for a debate in terms of where's Congress at on this issue? Where's the bipartisan center of gravity? Where can you potentially build on some of our work? But that's what we've been doing for six months. It's trying to understand and explain the threat and then identify policy solutions that help us to combat that threat. How would you put that in the form of a question by Brett or Martha? Well, there's the overall prioritization question, you know, what is the biggest threat to American national security, which is a bit boring, but no, it's not that's not boring. That that is that is the question, isn't it? Shouldn't that just be asked? What is the number one threat to American national security and why? Shouldn't that be it? Yeah, I think that that's table stakes, right? That's a good diagnostic question. And then it also allows the candidates, if they want to use their full time and I forget how much time they get to really articulate the key distinction between them and the Biden administration, because if you read the Biden administration's national security strategy that they talk about China as a pacing threat, although I'm hearing now that the Pentagon is saying don't say pacing threat, say pacing challenge or competitor, because we obviously don't want to provoke the CCP for whatever reason. I've described this as kind of like a Voldemort phenomenon. There's this belief that the more more we say things like New Cold War or say that the CCP is doing bad things, that it will somehow become more true, which I think is absurd. I'll be right back. Sherman Gallagher is going to stay with me through the break and then we're going to bring him back and then we're going to do that again. And we're going to talk to him for 15 minutes this morning about this. I can't believe I'm doing that. 15 minutes with Mike Gallagher coming right at you, America. Stay tuned. I'm back now with Chairman Mike Gallagher. This is the segment between the radio segments, so you don't get to hear this unless you're watching it on YouTube or on the on the television station. Chairman, in terms of what level should we expect of our candidates knowledge? I see your Green Bay Packers thing yet. Do you know the Browns cleared 38 million in cap yesterday by restructuring Joel Bentonio and Miles Garrett's contract? We have no we have the most cap space in the NFL. We are the team to beat. We will see you. I actually I don't think you're making it to the Super Bowl this year. We are going to be in the Super Bowl this year and you are not ready for this. I'm glad this isn't on the air because this is a serious conversation. But you had to do that little thing. And I'll I'll just go get my brown sweater and just put it on during this segment like that. I'm going to wear this all the time now on the air because we're going to the Super Bowl. Chairman, do you know that we cleared Miles Garrett contract yesterday? You know what we do? Do you follow sports at all or do you just do ChaiCom stuff? I don't follow Brown's contract minutia. I'll confess. I'll confess that, though. I was I was yesterday. Someone said that I had the potential to coach for the Browns after I helped them with a constituent case issue, to which I said I would never coach for the Browns on an Intel. All right. Let me get serious again. I'm going to try to go off the off the rail. We'll get back on the rails. How many times have you guys held public hearings? Oh, gosh, I think 10 at this point, approximately 10. You had at least one set of war games. You have more war games coming. We do. We have we have at least one more coming up that's going to be more focused on economic and supply chain issues. OK. Do you think the candidates know anything about that? I really do want to try and use today to focus their attention on China. Do you think they know anything about what the select committee has been doing? Have you been approached by any of them? I think some do. It's part of the reason I wrote an op ed on this that appeared today in The Wall Street Journal just came out was an effort, maybe shamelessly, to draw attention to some of the things we're doing, because I think it creates some unique opportunities. I mean, to me, you know, the most and this reflects my bias in thinking that hard power is the most important variable on the world stage. I think a candidate who can articulate what we need to do to rebuild the military in general, but really the Navy in particular, which is, as you know, Hugh is really struggling right now. It needs to be our priority force in our priority theater. It's not. We're going backwards. There's questions about focus, warfighting prowess. You know, I wrote a report with the help of Admiral Montgomery about the lack of warfighting focus in the surface Navy with Tom Cotton, Dan Crenshaw and others. I mean, I think that's a massive opportunity for a candidate really to take the ball on defense and go a few layers deep beyond just peace through strength, military good, China bad. You go a few layers deep on that and sort of communicate that you have a coherent plan. Doesn't need to be super detailed. Doesn't need to be a 50 page white paper about everything we need to do. But just as an overall strategy for fiction, I'm going to get your comms team in trouble again. I haven't seen this plan that you and Cotton worked on. How can I not have seen this plan? Well, this is a year ago. You got to blame Cotton's comms team for this because he was OK. And usually it's good to blame Tom Cotton. He's on next hour. I'll do that. Is that widely available? Yeah, it's Cotton did it with four of us in the house. It was over a year, a year and a half ago, kind of in response to all of these ship collisions. Some of the reports that we were getting from active duty sailors and just the changes over the years to training in the surface Navy. We did a deep dive drawing on the expertise of Admiral Montgomery and others. I will give him about that in the next hour and I'll get a link and I'll make sure it's posted out to the candidates. Don't go anywhere. I'm coming right back with Chairman Gallagher. Welcome back, America. I'm Hugh Hewitt, Chairman Mike Gallagher of the House Select Committee on Engagement, the Chinese Communist Party returns. We talked during the break and we got off course because we did a little football trash talk. But now we're back on course. Chairman Gallagher, have you read this book? You had Kabul, the untold story of Biden's fiasco and the warriors who fought to the end. It it made me furious. It absolutely made me furious. Have you had a chance to read it yet? No, but my friend Commander Salamander, who's great in his podcast, Midrats, I highly recommend, just did a podcast with with the authors. So I listened to it. It's not the same, but I am now looking forward to reading the actual hard copy. Well, the end of the book, which I don't know of Commander Salamander got to because I didn't get to it and I talked to him for a long time. It's about how the chai comms came in as soon as we left. They have designs on Bagram. They know what the air raids mean. They know what the strategic minerals mean. It's just a great example of what happens when we retreat in the world. In fact, in the in the this kind of war book you had me read, I wrote down some notes. A retreat once started as the most difficult of all human actions to reverse. And they were talking about the retreat of the Norcs at that point. And then we would retreat later when they counterattack with the chai comms. But we retreated from Afghanistan and they have come in. Have you focused yet on what they're doing there? It hasn't been, admittedly, a subject of a hearing. You know, we have experts, you know, regional experts and Afghanistan experts. I think the key thing to bring it back to the the presidential debate, obviously the obvious thing to do is to connect the surrender to terrorists in Afghanistan, our abandonment of our position, our abandonment of billions of dollars worth of military equipment to then the collapse of deterrence in Ukraine and Eastern Europe, because I do believe that our feckless position in Afghanistan sent a clear signal of weakness to Vladimir Putin. And no wonder Vladimir Putin ignored all of our warnings leading up to the invasion on February 24th because we look so weak on the world stage and we allowed terrorists to completely take over the country. And I think also that has had a negative impact on our deterrent posture in in the Indo -Pacific, across the Taiwan Strait. You mentioned critical minerals. I also think this is a huge opportunity for presidential candidates to articulate a plausible path towards reducing our dependency on China for critical mineral processing. They control 90 percent of the processing. Right now, I think our attempts to wean ourselves off of our to to establish some form of semiconductor manufacturing independence are not going to be successful, in part because the Biden administration has placed so many onerous regulations on grants for chips, fabrication facilities. But if a Republican candidate, particularly one with a business background or with a gubernatorial background, came in and said, here's our strategy when it comes to advanced pharmaceutical ingredients, critical minerals and rare earth processing, tie that to a robust domestic economic agenda. That's a massive opportunity for someone trying to pass the commander in chief test, because the reality is we are going to have to reclaim our economic independence from China in key areas. The progressives are experimenting with one way to do it. We need to identify a way that is fundamentally free market, but not but nonetheless achieves the actual goal of reducing our dependency on China. Chairman Gallagher, there's only one veteran on the stage, Ron DeSantis. Mike Pence has got a son and a son in law on active duty. Of course, Nikki Haley's husband is deployed. Those three know about this in terms of of why is China a threat? Is it a fair question to ask? Why is China a threat? What is it that worries you about China? Is that a fair question? If so, how would you answer that or suggest they answer that if you are one of the people on the stage? Well, first of all, I do think DeSantis has been really good on China and probably the best in the field. I was watching the forum that they did in Iowa. I forget what it's called, the Iowa Faith and Family Forum. And he proactively brought up China as an issue and talked about what he's done in Florida to combat the threat, talked about the threat in global terms. And so the most of the discussion focused on Ukraine. And I understand that that's more of a politically divisive issue on the stage. And so there is a you know, I think the moderators will want to identify the differences between the candidate thus far. Governor DeSantis has been talking in clear and unapologetic language about why the CCP is a threat and what he would do to combat it, which is greatly appreciated. More to your point, as a Navy veteran, I think he has a huge opportunity to be the Navy guy, be the guy who's going to rebuild the Navy and put it in a position where it can it can deter Xi Jinping from attempting to achieve his lifelong ambition was to take Taiwan by force. So to answer your question, Vivek just told me last week, we'll give them Taiwan after we achieve semiconductor independence. In other words, Vivek understands Taiwan is important for its semiconductor. Your colleague on the committee, Ro Khanna, tweeted at me last night when I was already offline that that doesn't do the trick. That's not why we're worried about Taiwan going down. Who's right? Well, obviously, our interests in Taiwan extend far beyond semiconductors. Our interests predate Taiwan's emergence as a semiconductor powerhouse. And if the concern from Vivek and I think it is that our dependence on TSMC for semiconductor manufacturing needs to be eliminated, I just would say two things. It's highly unlikely that we're going to achieve semiconductor independence by 2028. TSMC is investing far more money than the CHIPS Act is investing right now. Even under a Republican president, we would struggle to wean ourself off our dependency. But if the CCP had control of Taiwan, they would still be able to hold the rest of the world economically hostage. And that is the issue. Semiconductors or other or some sort of domain of economic competition. If they had Taiwan, they would be able to completely dominate the region through which trillions of dollars of international trade go. The other thing I would say, it's I mean, we got to go to break. I'll come back to go to break. We'll be right back with Chairman Gallagher during the break and then one more segment beyond. Don't go anywhere. America, I'm Hugh Hewitt. Portions of The Hugh Hewitt Show are brought to you by Food for the Poor. So I'm back with Chairman Gallagher, Chairman Vivek's answer to that is I'm going to get India to cooperate. And if Taiwan closes the Taiwan Straits, we're going to close the Malacca Straits. Ro Khanna says that's that's crazy. That doesn't work. I don't know what the answer is, but I know what Vivek has told me. I don't think he agrees with you, but I'll let him speak for himself. I don't want to put words in his mouth that we have to worry that much about the Taiwan Strait. Well, he's obviously very smart. I would say this with Marxist Leninist regimes, their appetites grow with the eating. So I think it would be a mistake to think that if we just surrender Taiwan on a date certain that we wouldn't have to worry about the problem. If they're the dominant regional power, they're one step closer to becoming the dominant global power. And that, I think, is the answer to your earlier question. Why? Why is the CCP a threat? Because they're trying to destroy our geopolitical position. Primarily by convincing us to destroy ourselves, they believe, as we mince words about whether they're a competitor or an adversary, they certainly believe that they're in an existential war with the free world led by America and that China will win, rendering America and our constitutional system of self -government subordinate, humiliated and wholly irrelevant on the world stage. So you can sort of think of it as as an assisted suicide. You know, they're trying to expedite our collapse. They provide the chemicals, fentanyl, the collapse in prosperity. Covid, IP theft, economic warfare and the self -loathing and depression via political interference and information warfare. So I think the the the threat would not stop after Xi Jinping had taken Taiwan. I think it would only expedite and become greater. So if you could read Xi Jinping's mind, what is he thinking about us? What does he want to see happen to us? I think he wants us to look inward and to abandon our position on the world stage and to be consumed with internal political battles. I also think he likes seeing us embrace this almost the CCP's narrative that America is an evil country. America is a neo colonial racist hellscape. I mean, this is CCP propaganda that a lot of Americans have embraced. I think ultimately he wants us to lose faith in ourselves as a force for good in the world. And ultimately, over time, he thinks the rest of the world is going to Finland dies more in the CCP's direction as an alternative model of government and world leadership, in part because America has lost faith in itself. That's why I think primarily the hard power is the most important variable. This is an ideological competition overall. And ignoring the role ideology plays in the competition is a fatal flaw. And so we need to find a way to press the candidates on that as well. You know, the we got two minutes before we come back. The ideological competition is quite simply not discussed. And I don't think our media is familiar with it. They're not stupid. They're ignorant of the ideological. They don't even believe it exists anymore. Chairman, have you run into that? Do your Democratic colleagues believe that there are such things like Leninist and that that the 20th century ideological competition is back with a vengeance? Well, I think for two and a half decades, we tried to take the communist out of Chinese Communist Party, and this belief persists that, well, they're not really communist. They're not really Marxist. They've embraced forms of capitalism and they're they're rational actors. And I think this is a dangerous way of thinking to go down, particularly under Xi Jinping. The party has embraced its Marxist Leninist roots. Xi's spirit animal is, in fact, Stalin. He looks to Stalin for guidance on how to operate. And so a candidate who understands that and can articulate that, I think, has a massive opportunity to distinguish themselves. The Democrats sort of come at the ideological competition through human rights. And there are a lot who genuinely believe in the cause of human rights. And though there are times when we have to prioritize between security concerns and human rights, this is when dealing with China, that's not an issue at all. We're coming right back. Stand by, chairman.

"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.

Aaron Rodgers strains calf during warmups, sits out first Jets practice open to media
"Aaron Rodgers never made it past warm ups in his first New York Jets practice in front of the media. This is tweaked my calf in the little pre practice condition inside. Decided to take it. Take a vet day. The 39 year old quarterback acquired last month from Green Bay strained a calf while participating in conditioning drills Tuesday. I don't think it's too serious. Rogers watch quarterback drills and remained on the field during practice, but was without his helmet and threw no passes. Rogers, who wasn't wearing a wrap on either calf while he stood at the podium and spoke to reporters was uncertain when the injury occurred. I'm geffen cool

"green bay" Discussed on NFL Live
"These kids always feel my hands. Christmas came early for us football fans with the NFL announced earlier today that the eagles will play host of the Giants on Christmas Day in a much anticipated and digital matchup four 30 Eastern Time for those asking giants fans are hoping Christmas Day goes significantly better than their eagles games last year. That include the 38 to 7 route in the divisional playoff, the Giants went zero three against the eagles last year. That was the first time in the Super Bowl era, the Giants lost three different times to the same opponent in a single season, but Lewis, it's a new year, and of course the Lions, the Giants excuse me, overachieved last season based off their talent, now they've got more pieces in place. Have they done enough though to close the gap with Philly this off season? Yeah, I think they've done enough to close the gap. I don't think they've caught them, but there's no question that Joe Shane the general manager went to work starting in free agency and then on through the draft to kind of fix up some of their holes. You know, that they had their field. Look, they knew that they needed to go ahead and add some more firepower on the perimeter in particular to help out Daniel Jones and help out with his Ascension in his transformation. So they get Paris Campbell who you saw on your screen they get Darren Waller from the Raiders who you saw on your screen as well. So those are two veteran pass catchers, then they go into draft and they draft one of the fastest guys in the draft and Jalen Hyatt who you see on your screen right there to really have a guy who can really take the top off the defense. And then the guy who you didn't see on there who may be the most important is John Michael Schmidt, the center out of Minnesota, who they park right in the middle of this offense, which is where they needed to help on the offensive line to go along with two bookend tackles Andrew Thomas has become one of the best left tackles in all of football. And then at the right side, Evan Neil gone into a second year, has to make improvements. And I believe that he will make improvements. On the defensive side look, they draft the ante banks out of Maryland, who's one of the best press cover corners in this entire draft this year. Then the guys up front, look at all the guys who they had all the first round picks they have invested on the front line. I mean, kayvon thibodeau in his second year has to take off Dexter Lawrence, you have to be better. Leonard Williams, you have to be better. So I think this team is there. They may not have caught the eagles, but they definitely made up some ground this off season. Let's talk Philly for a second Louis. I think we can all see the succession plan on defense for some of the pieces that they lost, but these young, more unproven players, like examples, Jordan Davis, and a Kobe dean from their draft class last year have a lot to prove. Are they capable do you think of stepping up and replacing the likes of javon hargrave and two linebackers and TJ Edwards and Kaiser white? Yeah, I do think they are. And for two reasons. One, they're going to be intrinsically internally motivated because of the fact that they come from programs that were accustomed to winning. So the expectations for them to play at a high level are already instilled in them. Number two, they're around each other, right? So they're going to be able to push each other and number three. Think about the veterans that they have on the defensive side of the ball in particular that they're going to learn from. You're going to be learning from guys like Fletcher Cox and Brandon Graham, who are eagles for life who are two of the very best that I've ever played for that organization who are going to demand that these guys take the mantle and run with it in a way that is befitting of guys who've been drafted as high as they've been drafted and that it'll be fitting of Philadelphia eagle defensive line. And so I think they're set up for success there. The only people they'll have the blame if they don't meet expectations are themselves. Interesting stuff there. Of course, Philly seems to be transitioning to a bit of a new era right now. And that brings us to the final object of the day here on NFL live is it's time for one more thing. This is a fun one before we go. On the day that we learned the date of the next chiefs Bengals matchup, let's remind everyone with this Cincinnati mayor had to say, prior to their playoff matchup, this past January. Good afternoon, Cincinnati. I have a proclamation from the desk of the mayor. Be it proclaimed, whereas the Cincinnati Bengals are headed to burrow head stadium for their second consecutive AFC championship game. Whereas last year's game, the Bengals scored more points than the chiefs resulting in a Bengals victory and achieves loss. Whereas Joseph Lee burrow, whose three and L against mahomes has been asked by officials to take a paternity test to confirming whether or not he's his father. Okay, so of course you may recall that the chiefs went on to beat the bangles and earn a spot of Super Bowl 57 and to absolute nobody's surprise, chief start in Travis Kelce, took a shot at the mayor of Cincinnati after the game and only the way that he can. Hey, I've got some wise words for that Cincinnati mayor. Know your rolling shut your mouth. You jabroni. Jabroni, anytime you can say that on oh, it's good. All that takes us to today where the aforementioned Cincinnati mayor after that pure vault was joined by former chief and current Bengals tackle Orlando Brown junior to make the official announcement of this year's matchup. Yeah, we're ready. The Bengals play the chiefs week 17. And I've got nothing else to add. And cut. How was that? Yeah. Here goes better than the last time.

"Welcome Thanksgiving release. I want this year's video to be something different. What does this all mean? Absolutely nothing. Here's our schedule. Go bills. Everybody has become kind of a creative holiday. Everyone goes live at the same time. We usually within like the first minute, you can tell if you have a eater or not. It's one of my favorite times of the year. Hey. Several weeks after the draft. The NFL drops the regular season schedule. Moments later, an Internet arms race begins. I know John. I'm John's buddy, guys. Yeah, I don't know for sure, but here's what I heard. I don't want to hear you talking about the schedule. With clubs trying to best each other by including former players. That was a bad idea. You gotta remember, schedule release, it's top secret information, and you never know who might be trying to get their hands on it. I mean, these insiders, they are determined borderline ruthless to get their hands on the scoop. Video games. Cat videos, even survival training advice. No need to worry about disarming this team. They tend to do that all by themselves. We definitely want to beat the other teams. It's what we do. You know, it's to the players on the field. This is our version of that. I've been with the cowboys now for 23 seasons, and I remember when scheduled release really was about how fast can you just get out the list. And then over the years, it kind of morphed into how can you be creative and how you show all 17 games. I'm looking at this 20 22 season schedule right here. They're the best of the best. How many people have been over to Steven age theater in use a fog machine to light up his studio space and had a fire alarm go off. He was cool with it. The creativity seemingly has no limits. As the falcons produced this video to present their 2022 schedule. Our Rube Goldberg video from last year, as well as our Game of Thrones video. In 2019, those both reflectors is that when you have some creative characteristics, that's really what sets it off. What we're really looking for is a vehicle in which we can embed local moments of storytelling, falcons, Easter eggs, and unveil our opponents. Those Easter eggs are hidden references designed to reward eagle eyed fans. So it may, but it's the Jaguar. It's a Jaguar. He looks he's almost like winsome, looking at the camera. Yeah. The Chargers 2022 anime video, which instantly went viral, had Russell Wilson cooking, Adam Schefter, frenetically tweeting, and wait a second for their game against my Seahawks. They even killed my football hopes and dreams. What am I looking at? There's a headstone that says Amina kines football hoax and dreams. The importance of the Easter eggs is for rewatch ability. We want cowboys fans to get as much fun out of our schedule as chargers fans. You guys ever write jokes or you're like, are we gonna get this one through? Constantly. Yeah, constantly. We have a document. It's called the Chargers 2023 scheduled release burn book, which is basically a running document about every misstep and mishap that is befell every NFL team in the league of pretty much. It's a roast. It's a roast. By schedule release day, the teams already know who they're playing, but not the wear or win. There was a lot of kind of rush to the end, but we had all the different kind of pieces of the video with the different scenes already finalized to put them in order. It was a real kind of talent showcase by our production team. I get the schedule sent to me at 9 a.m. Pacific, and then we hand it off to the editor. By that point in time, I was just so tired and exhausted from the months long of work. I was just glad that we had finally reached the finish line. As final preparations are made on this year's video record. Teams are coming in with expectations and nerves. So today we screen recorded a bunch of Madden gameplay footage, which we're gonna be using hand in hand with AI, and that's going to be the large portion of our schedule release video for this year. I think the approach that we're taking this year is really unexpected. There will be a celebrity. It's something that I put a lot of energy and effort into. Is it fair to say that schedule release date is your Super Bowl? I want the super world to be our Super Bowl, but it's pretty close. Yeah. That was awesome, Mina. We're gonna have you covered for tomorrow's schedule release date, 8 a.m. Eastern Time. Troy Aikman's gonna join Good Morning America on ABC to reveal a Monday Night Football matchup. At four eastern right here on NFL live, we're gonna release an additional Monday Night Football magic, can't wait for that. Then there's the schedule release special myself was medicine, staying on a lot of tea market spears, 80s eastern on ESPN2, we're gonna have the full slate of games, ESPN+ and go between the lines when they were analyzed the entire NFL schedule from a fantasy and Benny's perspective. Still to come here on NFL live, the eagles beat the Giants in all three meetings last season, but here I Lewis believed new York's off season moves have helped close the gap between them and the top teams in the NFC.

"He must manage expectations in Green Bay both internally and externally and say, hey, look, this isn't just about Jordan love, although now he's in his fourth year. This is about the fact that we have one of the greenest wide receiver cores in all of football. We have two guys who are coming off a rookie season who had fantastic years. Christian Watson is fantastic, but think about this. They have two new young wide receivers that they're going to be breaking in there and Jaden read from Michigan state, Dante wicks from Virginia. They have two new tight ends, they're going to be breaking in there and Luke Musgrave and Tucker craft. Who are fantastic prospects, fantastic, but they're rookies and second year players. So you have to give them some time, but I'll tell you this. If they can lean on that offensive line, which should be one of the best in football that running back tandem, this is one of the best in football and they can get Jordan to believe, not turn the football over and gradually build. I think, you know, over the next season and over the next couple of years, this could be one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL. And I think it has unlimited upside, but you have to take it slow and be willing to live with the bumps in the road. Certainly some bumps to come, key, but think about this. The 7 wide receivers and tight ends, the packers have drafted it over the past two years, figure to be the most prominent portion of that passing game. The most experienced player, I guess, is Christian Watson, who was like a non factor for half his rookie season last year, he like, do you need a veteran in the room to get these guys on track or can you really reasonably expect this group to be the core? I think you can expect them to beat a core as long as they have a veteran wide receiver coach in a veteran offensive play caller. They'll be fine because they're in the room with these young guys and they'll put them through the work and all those sort of things. I think a lot of people look at it the wrong way. And I understand it. It was Aaron Rodgers. I understand there was high hopes in Green Bay. But you got to give them an opportunity to chance. Okay, give them a chance indeed. Yes, at this point right now in Green Bay, you have no other choice because who is there to catch passes from Jordan

"To be one of the most sought after basketball players in the nation? Say hello to Billy Preston. You turn into a star down here. We want Billy, we want Billy. Until somebody had called the NCAA anonymously. The federal probe has turned up widespread fraud and corruption in college basketball. Listen to the bag game from 30 for 30 podcasts. We all got mud on us, man. All of us. Let me very quickly interrupt here. There was a change in the 14 selection. The Pittsburgh Steelers have moved up to number four two here. The patrons were back to steelers off. Let me think about Broderick Jones here. Yes. Because you're jumping ahead of the New York line. Belichick would like nothing more than to give it to the jets, right? The Pittsburgh steelers select Broderick Jones. Offensive tackle Georgia. And Charlie looks like Bill Belichick engineered sending the offensive tackle away from the jets and two the Pittsburgh Steelers. Oh man, that trader by the Steelers to 14th overall allowed them to grab offensive tackle Broderick Jones. Again, as you saw, many people thought he would have gone to the jets at pick 15 as they look to bulk up their offensive line. The jets instead took edge rusher will McDonald the fourth with the pick after Broderick Jones, head coach Robert Saleh claimed this week that McDonald's was always the plan in New York. The difference between 13 and 15 and the way the everything shook out made no difference to us. First and foremost, we're always going to take the best player available and that presents itself and you can make an argument that best available wasn't a need while it doesn't change what you do with just for the last two years everybody we've drafted seem to be in need. Bus available now doesn't necessarily mean you need it, but you never want to pass up somebody who you think can change the game for you. All right, Louis, I'm not sure anybody I know translates coach speak better than you do. You buy in this one from Robert salad? Look, I love rob, but no, I don't. Absolutely don't. And this is an offense. Look, this is an offense that last year was 31st in the NFL and run block win rate and was 21st in pass block win rate. They have a quarterback who's knocking on the door of 40 years old. Do you really think he wants to be dealing with edge pressure coming up coming at him at an alarming rate, especially concerning the fact that they're dealing with teams like the Miami Dolphins that can just send pass rushers at you and waves? Do you really think he wants to deal with that? You really think they're going to put him in harm's way. And look, I like will McDonald as much as anyone, but he is not better than any of the tackles that went off the board ahead of him, and I understand the player evaluation field as we know is subjective. We can both look at the same player and come to vastly different conclusions. But all of the tackles that were taken ahead of will McDonald are better prospects in my mind and present a greater value for them than when will McDonald does himself. So we'll see how this plays out. I just don't think they're going to like it though. Yeah, or Lou, everybody is saying exactly what they should say in this situation. You've got Robert Saul essentially saying, no, that's the guy we want it and you've got Bill Belichick saying absolutely nothing. Because that's exactly what you do, whether something is either deliberate or not, because everybody will assume that you are the mad genius in this situation. Look, in this situation, when you have Aaron Rodgers and an offensive line that needs help, you absolutely are drafting for need, not for value. Yes, I understand every coach and GM across the league will tell you always draft for need. Always drop our value, not need. In this case, you need the offensive line. You need them. You are chasing a Super Bowl. It didn't fall right for them. End of story, I understand why solids saying what he said, but ultimately they could really use that offensive lineman. You know what I love the most about all this is that bill's pettiness has no end. There's no end. He will never forget. He will never forget the jets and he won't let the judge ever forget him. And you know what? His silence speaks volumes. And I love it. I love every bit of it. That's what makes this season maybe one of the best we've had in a long time. So much drama. Rivalries often extend not just on the field, but also way off of it as well. Once again, we make the transition from Aaron Rodgers new team to his old team. That's the packers who have turned over a new leaf at quarterback, Jordan love is now leading the way, love will take over for Rogers with just one career start under his belt earlier today. He spoke to the media for the first time with the Rogers trade. You know, the whole off season the approach I'd be the starter. So that was just my mindset going into it. I couldn't really control what happened, going forward. It was out of my control, but that was kind of the approach I took to it and just went from there. Yeah, we talked after the trade. It's kind of just wish you the best going forward. He wished me the best and always there for me if I need anything if have any questions or anything, but I'm always just grateful to be around him and for the time I had with him to be able to learn and be behind him. It's very grateful for me. All right, for more, let's bring in our terrific ESPN packers reporter, rob damask and rob, you were there today as love answered questions. What else did he have to say besides what we just heard? Yeah, field, we all know that Jordan love waited three years for this. I asked him today how long that seemed. He said, well, it seemed like three years, it seemed like a while. He mentioned that the hardest part was last march, march of 2022, when Rogers signed that three year $150 million contract extension, and he said to himself, what do I do now? Where do I go from here? But in the back of his mind, he said he always believed that he would get this chance. And speaking of belief, there was a lot of talk about confidence, how much he has in himself, how much other guys have in him and running it back Aaron Jones said this. He said, we know that Jordan believes in himself number one. And you're never going to believe in someone if they don't believe in themselves. So because Jordan feels that way, it's permeated throughout the locker room and they have confidence in him. Despite the fact that he's really never played a whole lot for you. Yeah, we'll see how that confidence looks at the end of September or so, but you never know, rob, the packers have been down this road before and has certainly worked out for them pretty darn well. Great stuff, rob will talk to you again soon. I am sure. All right, so let's talk about the definition of success for Jordan love. Who is the ultimate wild card in this NFL season? How would you define a successful year for him? it up, right? They won what 8 games last year? Get them to at least that mark or a little bit better, show that you are a professional football player at the quarterback position in the National Football League. Show us that you've evolved since sitting on the bench. Show us that, hey, what the Green Bay Packers saw in practice and what little bit of gameplay that you had that you've learned from it that you've gotten better from your first year in the National Football League from Utah state. I think you'll be successful. I understand that and he can't be Aaron Rodgers off the bat. I understand all those sort of things. I think a lot of people are looking at it and saying what they got rid of Aaron Rodgers for Jordan love, who has once started under his belt in three seasons with the packers and at the end of the day, you got to give him an opportunity to be successful. Don't turn the football over. Lean heavily in the running game under your defense and get your team into the end zone. And I think he'll be fine. Yeah, I absolutely agree. And the more I kind of study this situation and think about it, the more I like it, especially for the second half key of this upcoming season. But I think no question it all starts with Jordan love himself as Aaron Jones talked about having that self belief. I think it quickly then translates to Matt Lafleur and he must

"Is, happy 68th birthday to the legend Chris Berman killing and spiriting as young as ever and keyshawn there is simply no one like boomer. There are simply nobody like boomer to work with that much you know from your many years alongside him on the Sunday NFL countdown set. Yeah, happy birthday to boom, what's he 89 years old? Wow, 68. He's a young 68 as well. He's still playing golf with that lovely, maybe Charles Barkley like swing, but of course boom, we'll be back in the fall. We can't wait to watch him on Sunday nights. My birthday, boom. NFL season. Time now for the game of whiteout Wednesday here at NFL live. We made draft history at that position back in Kansas City. Seattle drafted Jackson Smith and jig bro, that kicked off a stretch of four straight wide receivers picked in the first round, something that hadn't happened in the common draft era. Quentin Johnston zay flowers and Jordan Addison all went off the board right after JSM. Let's get back to Smith and jig, who told Seattle radio station KJR, quote those guys meeting DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett can do it all, but you just add another weapon that can do it all. I think it's going to be dangerous. Do you know back there is slinging it, the potential is crazy unquote. They're bringing now Jeff Darlington and Jeff, you are covering the Seahawks in the draft. What went into their decision to use their second first round pick on the former Ohio State whiteout. Well, a little bit of fortune, in fact, I feel like being out there in Seattle. This was a team that with the 5th overall pick and then the 20th overall pick felt like you were going to see them go in the direction of defensive tackle at some point, but instead general manager John Snyder able to stick to his board by picking Witherspoon with the 5th overall pick and then you saw the number of wide receivers that went off starting with number 20, right? Four straight wide receivers. Seattle was looking at the wide receivers sitting there saying, wait, two running backs are off the board, not a single wide receiver. We've got to get the value at this position. They feel like a long side locket in Metcalfe. You heard what he said right then that this is a guy who can not only play outside, but if lock it and Metcalf are lined up outside, he can play inside in the slot and be really good at that as well. So Seattle, maybe not necessarily addressing a primary need, but feeling they got massive value at that 20th spot. You should play plenty of 11 personnel with those three all in the field at the same time. So as we said, following Jackson Smith and jibba, the Chargers made Quentin Johnson at a TCU the next player and receiver ticket that was number 21 overall, Justin Herbert seems to have a type since he entered the league in 2020, the Chargers are the only team in the league with at least 700 receptions from receivers listed at 6 foot two or taller. The first rob pick fits that bull, Johnston measured in an almost 6 foot three at the combine and Indy. He's going to fit right in next to Keenan Allen and Mike Williams key. You are a big body receiver yourself. You like the addition of Johnston to LA alongside another two White House? You don't feel I actually don't like the addition. I think when you look at it, I thought that the charges needed a guy that could pick him up and put him down with the best of them. A smaller guy, somebody that can do some things inside in the slot position, although Keenan Allen does do it. In another thing about Johnson, he's a body snatcher. He hasn't learned to catch the football with his hands quite often. There's a lot of drops, but hey, maybe he can learn a long way as time goes on to become a more reliable wide receiver with catching a football with his hands up opposed to a body. But I like more of the for them because of Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, maybe a trade followers type, maybe a Jordan Addison type. Somebody that can hit a home run every now and then for them. Key shaming a big wide receiver, what's gone into over there, Keith, what's going on? Shamey. It's not shaming. It's just. You know, hey, when your body snatched on field, those balls bounce off of your chest and they go to the other team. But here's what you got to know. In today's world, if you don't make the guy the second coming of Jerry Rice, apparently you're a hater. That's just how it works now in 2023. Next up, we head to Baltimore, who drafted ze flowers of their first round pick. Flowers talks about being a part of that offense earlier this week. They are so early, but what are your early impressions of Todd munchkins offense? Oh, I love it. It's kind of like some of the stuff I ran at BC, I love it. I think it fit. My style, like perfect, getting open, being able to create space, deep balls, short, intermediate, do it all. I feel I could play anywhere. I feel like I'm a complete receiver. I could do it all. You name it, I'd be able to do it. All right, since the more Jackson's first start back in 2018, Baltimore's wide receiver group has been the least productive unit in the league. No teams wide out produce fewer catches or receiving yards than Baltimore's White House, for that room has two major additions. This off season. You may have heard they signed odo Beckham junior back on Easter Sunday a couple of weeks before they drafted zay flowers in the first round. Louis, like that edition of zay flowers that Raven's offense? I'd love the addition. Absolutely love the addition. Look, during draft night, I made the comparison of Zee flowers to tyreek hill in terms of the way Boston college used them in the kind of effectiveness he had in particular in the middle of the field when they can get him up to feel quickly on safeties by either by formation or by motion getting him free releases off the line of scrimmage and he just ripped people in college and he'll rip people in the NFL too. There won't be a safety that can deal with them. And when you combine that with the fact that if OBJ can be can stay healthy, if Rashad Bateman can stay healthy, Nelson algal art can stay healthy. We already know what Mark Andrews can do. These guys are all interchangeable. They're all the types of people who can line up at three different positions that can play the X, they can play the Z they can play the slot. I mean, for Lamar Jackson right now, this is by far by far the best group of pest catchers that he will have. And the fact that now he has an offensive coordinator that you can go back and watch his Georgia tape from 2022 and just see how he set up that's Bennett for success over and over again with the deep shots in the middle of the field, Baltimore is going to be super explosive. They just need to keep their players field on the field. Yeah, pieces seem to be in place under a new offensive coordinator, Todd munken. To an update now on a story we covered last season in Buffalo. Former bills punter Matt erisa was not present at an alleged gang rape of a minor in 2021, according to witness testimony. That prompted the San Diego district attorney not to press criminal charges against oriza. The bills cut arisa after a civil suit was filed against him and two of his San Diego state teammates by a woman who said she was raped in October of 2021. That civil suit is still ongoing. In a statement arisa said he is quote deeply gratified in quote for the work of the district attorney's office. The woman's lawyer did not respond to ESPN's request for comment.

How fun could that match up be? What could be fun the problem that after the rich sent in the Indianapolis coast faces, we know what Bill Belichick does to young rookie quarterbacks.

"The dolphins and jets will play on the Friday after Thanksgiving, the bleak first ever Black Friday game, both teams expect to be in playoff potential when they meet at week 12 at MetLife stadium. The Giants and eagles are gonna unwrap a gift together on Christmas Day. That's an NFC east showdown. That one is in Philadelphia for 30 Eastern Time. New York went zero and three against the NFC champs last year. That included a 38 to 7 playoff route and you could add Patrick Mahomes and Joe burrow to your New Year's Eve guest list. The bangles and chiefs will play in week 17 on New Year's Eve, a rematch of course of the last two AFC champions. All right, hello and welcome to NFL live. You see right there, Keith Shawn Johnson, and of course Lewis Riddick, I am field Yates. Let's start with that huge chiefs Bengals game on New Year's Eve Lewis, even the loss in the AFC championship game last year by the Bengals two Kansas City, which is by three points, it seems like no team has been able to semi slow down Patrick Mahomes in the chiefs, except for the Bengals. What's been the key to that? I think part of it is just the belief field that they can get the job done number one because a lot of times teams are beat before they even play the chiefs. Number two, I think it definitely starts on the defensive side of the ball for Cincinnati with defensive coordinator Lou anarumo changing up the looks that he gives Patrick in such a way that he never allows him to really get into a rhythm. He goes from, you know, sending 5 man pressures to zero blitzes to drop 8s to single high to two safeties high. Bluff and blitz is one side bring them the other. All kinds of different overload options. I mean, he really does change it up. And it never allows Patrick to get comfortable in. I think just this past year, look, I think Kansas City without a doubt went into the game in the AFC title game and really started to feel as though they had some questions about whether or not they could actually get over the hump with Cincinnati. And Cincinnati may have had a leg up on them from a mental perspective. So I think when you do that, when you have that kind of advantage, combined with the fact that they have some good players on Cincinnati. And they've gotten even stronger this off season with the way they did in the kind of work they did in the draft. That game right there. Look, if you think the other battles have been heavyweight battles, this one's going to be even bigger and better because both of these teams have improved in 2023. I think the one thing that you look at it Lou and you mentioned the draft and this off season getting stronger. They certainly did because they realized in order for us to continue to harass Patrick Mahomes. We've got to do one thing. We got to go get somebody that can do that. So what do they do? They go out and get miles Murphy from Clemson because they say, hey, okay, we got to get him on the ground. We got to go get this guy on the ground because if we get him on the ground, we have an opportunity, but if we let him just do what he does with his head magic, we're in trouble. They also took a cornerback at DJ Turner from Michigan and in Jordan battle from Alabama to replace vine belling company. So they're addressing their needs on the defensive side of the ball, which is extremely important against Patrick Mahomes and company. A little bit more to stoke the flame on this game a little bit later on in NFL live, I promise you, you won't want to miss it. But the Black Friday game isn't just unfamiliar territory for the NFL's move forward to the jets and dolphins. They both expect to be in the hunt atop the AFC east and how about this. It's been 14 years since either of those teams won the division. Everyone's been chasing buffalo for the past three years and the Patriots like the past 50 years before that, but each team made a move this off season. Did they think they could put them over the top? The dolphins added Jalen Ramsey to pair with Xavier Howard at cornerback and I think you have heard that the quarterback of the New York Jets is now Aaron Rodgers. Louis, both of these teams have some high hopes of adding their name to that list of teams that make that big jump. Who do you like is the bigger challenger to buffalo this season? I think consistently I have ridden with Miami. And I believe that really the only thing that will stop Miami this year and obviously and it's not something that everyone doesn't know. I mean, it's going to be too as health. That's what would slow down Miami because let's just say if he can play three quarters of the season and at the very least we'll really most importantly be healthy once they get into the playoffs. This team could very much so be a contender, not just in the east, but in the AFC overall and really challenge Kansas City for representation in the Super Bowl. I love the dishes that they made on the offensive side of the football especially. Let's just say it running back with the drafting of a guy like Devin a chain who just makes them even more explosive out of the backfield. And then on defense, look, Vic Fangio. Vic Fangio is the number one prize landing for any football team I believe in this whole free agency off season because of what he's going to do in terms of bringing the kind of mentality and the kind of X and O expertise to the defensive side that they haven't had. That's going to push them over the top. That's what I think makes them the favorite in the east. You know, I look at two teams, right? I look at the New York Jets and the Miami Dolphins and both of those teams share victories against the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins had them on the ropes in the playoffs in archer park. So when you add when you add a guy like Ann Rogers in Lazar and you know, hey, I got a guy that can certainly deal with anybody in the National Football League at the quarterback position. They got the breeze hard to run it back. Sauce gardener. You did Gary Wilson at the receiver position. The jets were probably a team that was about a quarterback from four wins away. Then you talk about Miami, you mentioned the help of tour. We saw him went to it. We saw him without to it. Now you add Jalen Ramsey feel like you said to pair him with an Xavier Howard. This could be the best talent corners in the National Football League if they can get back to form from a couple of years ago. So I wouldn't just assume that buffalo is going to run away with the division because you still got a quiet New England patriot team that we know nothing about sitting there. There's no Leslie Fraser there on the defensive side of the ball. That's a big loss for buffalo. Yeah, look, obviously buffalo was probably feeling as though right now with all the talks surrounding both the jets and Miami. Like, wait a second. We have had some nice seasons here. And we are philosophically trying to change some of the way in which we try to win football games. And I think one of the big ways that you'll see them change this year is the fact that, look, this is not going to be a Josh Allen run centric offense anymore. I think this is something that Sean McDermott has tried. Desperately to emphasize to his offensive play caller since he's been there. I think you'll see that change this year. Don't count them out. Man, that AFC east feels like it is going to be extremely competitive, no matter who emerges at the top. Let's go across the pond next, and we do have a game next year at Wembley stadium, one of the world's most historic sports venues, and it's right here on ESPN+ the falcons of Jaguars will play in the famed northwest London grounds in week four. That's October 1st, 9 30 eastern on ESPN, plus Jacksonville played in this game last year as well, losing to Denver 21 17 and Lewis, you had the pleasure of calling one of the London games last season. What was the atmosphere like? Look, there's a lot of pageantry. There's a lot of enthusiasm and excitement and really the adoption of American football over there in such a way that excites you for the future because they want more. They want more exposure to the American game. They want more big time matchups being brought overseas and being played in their stadiums. And when we walked in there that day and we got up in the booth and by time kick-off rolled around, I mean, it felt like a big time matchup. It felt like a game that everybody was heavily invested in. I mean, obviously once the game kicks off, the fans are obviously very well versed as far as the American football rules and exactly how the game is supposed to be played and what you're supposed to cheer for and not cheer for. So really, I mean, it was all business once the game started off. And I think as the games really expand, both in number and in terms of importance, that it's going to be, it's going to benefit the NFL very, very well in a way that I think they all hope it would in the first place. Yeah, I love that line about once people figure out what they're supposed to be rooting for. You always see the random jerseys before the game. It's like, oh, there's a saint Jersey. There's a raiders Jersey. Meanwhile, it's the Broncos and the Jaguars actually playing the game. Not the only game being played across the pond is the league announced four other international games this morning. The Jaguars are actually going back to back in England.

"Made my feelings now. I talk about it in the pregame in the pre show here. And I talk about it now. I think Aaron Rodgers is a good quarterback. I think he is a way above average. I don't see him as great. And I know I get a lot of pushback from people about this. But and maybe we'll just say he didn't have the tools, Green Bay didn't give him the resources, whatever it is. But it is amazing to me and you help me out because you're the New Yorker. Legit issue.

Hiring them around the studio this week on get up and everything. And it's like, really? Doug, did you see Zach Wilson play last year? Yeah? All right. When you know my answer is gonna be, okay, so we have different opinions. We have differing opinions on Aaron Rodgers. Because he is destroyed my heart more times than I can count. I mean, you're just glad to get him happy. It really brings me joy. But let me ask you something. Do you think Dan Marino is a great player? Great. You want him to play football? I think he is he a Hall of Famer. Yes. I mean, if that determines. Are you saying that not having a bunch of rings? Is what stopping him from being great? Only reason I'm asking. I'm gonna say maybe.

All right, so the website is early vote action dot com early vote action dot com. Tell our 3 million listeners right now. Where are you today and what are you doing tonight? Well, I'm here in Green Bay and Brown county, Wisconsin because everyone should not be talking about the 2024 presidential election. They should be focusing on the Wisconsin state Supreme Court race on April 4th. Now let me give you some background on why this is so important. Right now, the court is currently for conservatives to three liberals. However, one of those conservatives has to retire, meaning that if we are unsuccessful at electing justice Daniel Kelly on April 4th, maintaining our conservative majority, then the court will flip from four to three conservative to four to three liberal. And the liberal opponent of justice Daniel Kelly has already indicated that she will get rid of voter ID in Wisconsin. She will get rid of proof of residency in Wisconsin. They will make unbanned drop boxes constitutional in Wisconsin. Our gun rights and hunting rights will be attacked in school choice will be defunded. This election on April 4th for the Wisconsin Supreme Court is consequential and is not only going to affect the people of Wisconsin, but it's going to affect whether or not Republicans are able to win back The White House in 2024.

Aaron Rodgers Emerges From the Darkness
"Who's been a top contender for Friday's finest for the last few weeks. Has been the mercurial quarterback of the Green Bay Packers. Aaron Rodgers. Now, deciding that he did not want to retire under the same year Tom Brady did, and he wanted to continue to play. He's following that great packer tradition of leaving the Green Bay Packers and going to New York. It looks like if things can get everything settled. I mean, is there ever, I mean, this is almost like the Howard Hughes of football. I mean, just this reclusive, I'm going to sit in the dark for two weeks and then come back out and talk. And then when he actually came back out this week and said it on the pat McAfee show, well, I'm going to play and I intend to play with the jets. Well, I loved the I don't know if I'm going to try to I think it's a direct one. He said, I came out of the darkness and something was a little bit off. Like, yeah. Okay. The real world, buddy. You know, I just, I feel like every fan of every other team in the NFC north wants to hold a press conference to thank God for getting Aaron Rodgers out of their division. But realistically, it's something that bothers me. I think this is, this goes for pretty much anything. This is not, we don't even have to keep this to just sports, but the idea that he knew that he knows that he has enough power to a if they want to get rid of him, he can take as much time as he wants. If he really wanted to stay and cause a stink and their organization, he could do that as well. But now he gets to make demands to the team that's looking to get him. Think about all the power that that one man has because he can throw a football 60 yards without blinking.

She told him she wanted out. And at some point, Aaron wanted to stay, but then I think, at some point, he said, you know what? Fuck it. I can't take it anymore. There's too much of her talking and I'll get to that in a second, but some of you might be thinking, well, maybe the bearding contract was over age, right?
The Mason Minute
Selfish (MM #3883)
"The mason minute. With Kevin mason. Aaron Rodgers has been in the news the last couple of days, not for how the Green Bay Packers are doing, but of course, for not telling the whole truth about being vaccinated for COVID-19 when he was asked to direct question before the season. A lot of people are weighing in, and the one thing I keep hearing is the word selfish that it has nothing to do with whether he wanted to be vaccinated or not. There are lots of people in the NFL that aren't vaccinated. We already know who they are, but he kind of said he was immunized. Everybody thought him being immunized, and he was vaccinated. He was being deceitful. He was being selfish. Because at the end of the day, if you know he's not vaccinated, you can try to stay away. Because he wouldn't wear a mask because everybody thought he was vaccinated. It's causing a lot of problems. What we haven't heard yet is how his teammates feel. We're hearing a lot of people weigh in, but not the most important people. Selfish is an interesting word to describe Aaron Rodgers. Scrubs a lot of people these days, not just about COVID-19. We live in a very selfish world. I guess it's true. We care about ourselves and nobody else. And that's scary.

"green bay" Discussed on Buccaneers Observer
"Was nobody on the team. That i said man i need to step it up except for again. Special teams blocking and tackling But you know the green bay helped us out a lot by just not playing really well now and i think a lot of it is. I'm spoiled in watching his team. Play so good. You know on both sides of the ball. We played an elite level or quarterback as lead our receivers early. I get mad when they dropped passes but other than that runs. Good routes get open their fight for the ball. They're doing what they need to do. They do good blocking so. I'm spoilt did watching it highly elite team and then when i watch other teams you know. I'm like oh they didn't bring their a game. It probably is there not as good as we are. Yeah fan time gotten really sports like you have so on to complain about that. During the offseason the media is coming up with all these bullshit narratives that immediately get dispelled you know the following week. 'cause there's nothing else really to complain about. They try and we tried this year all year. Long to come up with something to bring his team down. Couldn't do it every time they brought something they're not doing enough tight end passes like area will okay. Next week will throw five touchdown to tight. Anti show was like. Oh we're not gonna play action okay. Here's the next week. We'll do fifteen play actions and score on table shutout brady being hate each other think fan. This week was retweeting. People really should take november and that was one of about how someone should be fired media person. That's me they were just re tweeting opening day. Doesn't get to say. I love it. Yeah that's that's half. The fun of this season has been just rubbing salt in their wounds man because people talk crap all the way up until the bye week. Coming out of the bye week. Yeah where we started. Going on the winning streak. That's when everybody went. We stop talking crap about these kinds. Steamroller i watched or listened to the interview with sean murphy on pat mcafee and it was so interesting to hear. He's a really interesting character. He's a cool a cool gone and this really has nothing to do with what we're talking about just came to my mind. But he didn't know this but he is shameless. His cousin like i had no idea. I had known that jordan white have is drought releases. But no we gotta go back through our notes. Because i swear we said that a couple years ago but yeah i would you brought it up. I was like yeah. I didn't know that. Yeah anything about that but pat mcafee asked him about the team and it just seems like we're all like such a tight knit group and he said that you know they. They are just so tight. And they hold each other accountable. But they're like supportive of each other and they make each other better and he said the notion of tom brady into the locker room impact. Just the offense but the defense because would go to a lot of these younger guys on the defense and go. Hey you need to look at. This guy has a really interesting technique. That i think that you could including your game. Or he's just seen so much football you just such a dearth football knowledge that he's able to work with some of the young guys too and so it's pretty interesting. He they get rolled chippy with each other on offense and defense during practices. Like they all talk. Tom brady brought up an interesting point. That i didn't think about that. You know because of the corona virus. This year he has not been able to build up a bond with defensive players like he normally likes to do because they're separated. You know you can't hang out with players like you have been able to previous years. And so he hasn't been able to spend time with defensive. Units or even a lot of the offense of units so the team is not as cohesive would have been without crovitz. Now think about that next year. Almo god i mean we made it to the super bowl this year with corona virus with no off season with tom brady coming in learning a whole new offense for the first time in his career with rob gronkowski. Doing the same thing bringing it in tonio brown in and we made it to the super bowl with this man with the coronavirus and everything you these players. Not having the bonding that they're used to. What's it gonna be like next year win if all the stuff doesn't go away and they can start having dinners to gather together and bonding and spending time in each other's Rooms when they're having the defensive backs in our watching film. Tom brady comes in starts. He can't do that now. But i mean come on man we are going. We might win two super bowls back. I don't see anybody in the league. That can that's comparable to us now now. There's a full well rounded team like now with the salary cap. Come in the saints are done. I mean there. What over a hundred million over the cap. They're they're done. We're we're going to be tough spot to. I think we're going to see a lot of players take cuts to stay with this team. Picks out cuts. Jason light said the other day talking about our front office and that guy greenberg jeff. Jeff greenburg master. He's just like a master at dealing with salary cap issues and he's not. We're not gonna have a problem. i hope. Not but if the salary cap is one hundred and forty five million next year like they say it's going to be that's fifty million almost sixty million less than it is this year and so many teams are going to have to and they're going to be jettison veteran players. It's going to be horrible for the veterans that they're going to figure something out you know the league wide because they can't. They just can't do that but i think are the big canary in the coal. Mine is going to be the dominicana su. If he stays here you know he's he's been taking one year contracts right if he stays here it takes a cut. It is pay. That's going to be a huge signed. That man this team is they're gearing for another super bowl because dot com sue. He's he's a mercenary. he's ahead on her. He goes where the mind. Yes thank god for the money. And i think he's going from the more the money i think if he stays and takes a cut that's going to be a moment because he is building up you know pointed out in the podcast and on videos you know most of the young guys on defense especial defensive line. They just. They swarm around him. You know i mean. He is the de facto leader on a defensive line and if he stays to continue mentoring and being the foresee years it takes a cut. That's going to send a huge message to everybody else. You know it's gonna yeah. I'm really excited to see. Nobody won the super bowl..

Were being held down by the defender. I don't know how to call them. And then but he did so much good stuff you've done great blocking and made a great catches in that one. Nineteen yard catch.

But we're work what it's better makes for a better video again. I do appreciate guys. Let me know all that. So anyhow laser any other steadier stymie steamy. Steady like phonetically. Can you just look at a target in trouble. Time lakes tiny as it would be like an e. I i was raised on hooked on phonics i was. It didn't exist for your language before. I was born brunch. Yeah he got kenny clarke ninety seven. He's very good. I mean he gave our offensive line a lot of trouble so did a fifty five the various. I think it was his name. Smith's their smith. Yeah he was bringing into the. They gave us a little bit more trouble than i expected. But tom brady is just so damn good at when he when he knows pressures comedy get smaller many throws throws you know he's not wanted in dirt. He's not throwing it away. He's throwing it you know to wear. It can be caught it. It's incredible how good he is that his pocket presence is just masterful elite elite level in my notes. I have that sixty forced the first series wasn't so good the saccone brady evans very strange play. They were deep and they did like a cross deep but they ended up running into each other playland desa few weeks ago where they like. I don't know if it was three or two or three. The receivers kind across like that in it ended up knocking the defenders into each other. It seemed like they were trying to do that but they instead. Yeah it's exactly what it looked like and gronk ended up on the ground which is funny ever does the big gaba gronk lot bigger but it was cracked it ended up on. The elliott slammed right into each other. And i think it gets kinda shocked brady. And that's and he got sacked because he was he was wait for that. Play to develop and when it happened. He was just plain. We got sacked immediately. Wasn't playing the there was but i think it was. Just i think everybody on the field was like whoa check. that out. trailer pointed out in the video. Also sue he'd lined up inside linebacker position. A handful of times. That was interesting. He would be the line linebacker about three or four yards normally. Where about david or devon white is when they snapped the ball. He'd rushed.

There was plenty of stuff that they didn't call on green bay honestly though it was a pretty clean game. Both teams did well as far as discipline. Penalties are concerned the The refs. They did a pretty decent job. I gave them see minus twelve penalties that accounted so not not too horrible and i don't think green bay what what green bay fans need to be mad about. Is their team played like crap. Now you know we talk about this on the podcast all the time. Did we win. did we lose. Did they win today. Lose a did the rap student in this game. This is just like the new orleans game. Where i'm right on the line of man you know. They pretty much lost his game. I don't wanna take it away from us. I mean our defense played great office. We played great. Bay played like craft. And i don't know how much of it is. Just were beating the mess out of teams so bad that we're making them play matt but that fourth quarter field goal decision is probably one of the dumbest coaching decisions that i've seen in the nfc championship understand that. Like even if you make the field goal you still push them. What the hell was the point of. That was tom dom. And that's what green bay fan should be mad about and also green bay didn't play that great in the first time we played them said that in my notes that we do they brought their see game and i would say that on this one to they what we were getting to aaron rodgers so good that they had to adjust their whole game and they just started throwing these quick darts quick darts. And just not really. You just couldn't sit back there and wait for these long passes downfield. We couldn't wait for the plane to develop. Now this. This game had probably the most deep balls. I've ever seen in a championship game between the both teams mommy. We were just talking down the field. They were chunking it down the field but it wasn't like they they were rogers was just sitting back there and skiing the field now. He was doing his five seven step drops and then just chocolate because we were right. There are defensive line playing white gray all the way across the board soup play. Great sue with fight with people after the place to never see that from him. I mean he was. He was chip and guys pushing aaron after the place to the couple times. Yeah he walked by here and after he got sacked and you could see was saying something to mcclendon played. Great nacho played. Great gallstone played great barrett in the j. p. v. They were just killing it. Seventy seven and seventy one. Were just getting beat. All game long it was seventy seventy seven was turner we would. We talked about whether only turned her. Billy billy turner left tackle and j just walked up on all game by the way smile. Oh yeah you got to jp jersey. Good that you rub it of listeners taste. That's what the that's what j jersey sounds like. This is what we're going to wear super bowl sunday. I'll i've got my mind nike elite. Tom brady peter jersey. Stitched nice steph. Though i feel like i'm wearing body armor so jp and they apm barrett were the keys of the game. They just they just boy offense of line they were i i sent to our. I watched the pat mcafee interview with iran's Yesterday after a yeah we watched it together was like forty five minutes of air. Rhonda's mcafee asked him at one point. He was like how you feeling. You're getting hit a lot. Air rogers was like they got a good defense man. We were just their offensive line. Had no answer to us at all in again. It was so much i want to talk about the strategy behind all this. We did the same thing where we didn't push hard until the second half and in the second half we just on leased it was like we were analyzing in seeing the weaknesses on their offensive line. Then the second half it was just it was a free for all but in the first half. We were getting to him. You know and it was almost like we weren't even trying and we were getting to them ropes but yet second half again we didn't. We were just killing it. Gotta give those guys series props and it wasn't and vida now vida excited to see him come back disappointed that he didn't do as much. But you know as vita. He didn't play bad by any stretch with imagination somewhere samsung. They said he was going to got thirty three. Yeah i was expected about twenty so that was great any any. He looked like he was in good football position. A little slow look to me like he gained weight. Although they said he he happened but he looked a little little. Love handles. were a little bit bigger hanging out jersey. but he has shrunk seymour's washed in hot water rights but he didn't dominate the way i expected him to. You didn't play by any means. But he he just he's so good he just getting that push. I would watch him in an whoever was playing opposite of him on the defensive line whether it was su mcclendon notch or whatever and not vita would get he'd be three yards in the backfield pushing his guy and whoever else was on the other side. You know they'd be yarn. Maybe or right. At the line of scrimmage this is you can't stop the guy can't stop him and you giving to three seconds. He's going to be at your quarterback while he's carrying the offensive line. It's gonna tackle you with your arms to like bear hug you..

Everybody watching these games. That were really haven't followed. The buccaneers are thinking. Oh you know. Tom brady mike evans. Antonio brown cronk hausky. But that's not what's been winning us. These playoff games been our defense. So i think you're right. People are gonna watch this. It'd be holy cramp. Who were these guys you. Their defense is a really good You know and it's good. Because i don't want us to win the super bowl and every set. Everybody say all was because of tom. Brady you know. I mean it. Tom brady is a huge factor in it was wrong but his defense is good in our hall. Offensive line is get. Our run game is good. I was he was a good. We've got a good team so well rounded teams and it's not even you know it's not the main players on special teams. That are actually quite good. I mean bradley. Pinon stylish socks presence solid. We finally kicker and we broke. That matt ryan merce. It's kind of the other guys in the trenches so for the liability to be like that far now. Great and i was thinking about that. It's perplexing meal years to why are special teams kicking pont tackling blocking has been. Not you know It leased average. It's a little blow. Arizona only part of our team where you were not above average and i think it's because bradley painting is so good at kicking. It do the enzyme that they just don't practice tackle a lot on spent on kickoff town. Yeah they're just like what he's not going to in. That's what new orleans dead with his name. Devante devante harris harris. He would catch the ball. Five six seven yards deep in the end zone. Run out so if they do that. But i think in this game they. We didn't have a single kickout. Kickoff return the the packers we had like one hundred yard kickoff couple of So you know like you said if that's if that's the worst the weak link on your team is that the second stringers on special teams. Don't give enough effort. Yeah and it. And it's not the thing is that the effort hasn't there but it's just you know it's not a a A primary thing to spend a lot of energy on yeah. I'm real excited about it to the chiefs it's going to be. It's going to be extremely interesting to see what todd bowles. Dow's up against them because he has every game in defense dialed up. You know a different defense that we played all year long again on this one. We didn't drop any of our outside linebackers in the thing. I mean we might have added. Say that actually i did see. It wasn't o'connor nelson saw a drop back in coverage but bear it. I don't i don't recall seeing him we. We didn't do it a lot if we did do it. Seems like we stuck with a lot of man coverage again. So i dunno. I'm really excited all right. We're at an hour. We could sit here and talk about this all day long. But we're gonna try to save some. We're really low energy today and happier the last time. I'm not distracted this time. So i was like okay. Let's get asking us to upload the drunk want this time and you know. We kinda mitigate that by noddy owner according lines. Well i wanted to. But the game came on reticence. We got home. So i was like we gotta watch this game and then by the time the games are we were just like the busy dips are batman because that would have been good where we were. We were three sheets to the wind cable and immediately got on the couch bundled up and ate the rest of her bar food. She loves martha and like later tonight. I'm like hey. Did we bring the leftovers home. She was like yeah eat. Some of it. I go in there. There was one born cheese stick and one hot wings. Didn't even yeah. You didn't even eat any of the highway. I was like. Why did you leave. This pissed me off the tees man all right. Yeah so so. We're not getting divorced. We're still together and a. We're very happy about the buccaneers. Go super bowl as well as all the buccaneer fans are. Gosh we're gonna get so many fans it's going to be great and we. We preach about this and we haven't done it as much lately. But you know the the reason why you want a big fan base is because then you get more primetime games you know you get more viewership you get you get more attention in the national media and all that good stuff because we look at dallas cowboys dallas cowboys suck for a decade and third still getting prime time games. Yeah yeah and uh you get players at wanna come to teams that have large fan bases and all that stuff so it helps out. It's it's it's it's vital to have a big active fan. So i'm really excited that we're going to show up in super bowl and just gather more fans you know you know people that watched that game last night that were not fans of team or we're looking for a team dirt buccaneer fans now because avalanche gray performance buys manson gray catches a great runs of great defense.

Quick throw, I'd open tight end He picks up nine Just outside the buccaneer. 20 love the play call right here. We've talked a lot about the play action. Mercedes Lewis is the guy that usually keep into block. He's more of a blocker than a pass catcher, so they're hard play action, sell everybody down the field and then the normal guy that's gonna block. Let's just dump a little screen off to him High percentage Nice nine yard game. Bring in the rookie running back AJ Dylan. He is out of Boston College, Rogers, his flight left and right by running backs outside the 20 of the Buccaneers. Second down one shot against him. Lateral throw to the 25 by Jones got a block in 20 minutes, And then he was hitting. He coughed up the ball. And then the tight end Tanyon dives on it. He was diving on a grenade on the near side line. At the 18 yard line of the Buccaneers. They pick up three nonetheless on the play, and they get a first down another R P O Aaron Jones coming out of the backfield, running a swing round there. Ice free by Aaron Rodgers. The Bucks brought pressure off the slot. They had the numbers game, but nice hit to come up from the secondary and knocked that ball loose. And what a break for the Packers Antonians right there. After coming off his block to be able to fall on that football. Rogers who through the air has gone 12 or 13, 1st and 10 from the Buccaneer, 18 under center snaps, spins, handoff goes to Jones runs into his own blocker.

Here's the Packers are in the red Zone right now where they have been effective Watch for Davante Adams here about a Adams is great and they love to play action down here is well if they could get tighter into the red zone where they like to run the football. They've had great success. Aaron Rodgers great success this year. One more play action touchdown passes in the red zone than anybody in the National Football League. Second down nine Rogers in the gun 17 in Tampa Bay. It's a hand off after a fake pass, and it goes to Jones running right over his left arm in the hash mark to the 10. Like a bolt of lightning. He goes down to the Tampa Bay 10 burst of seven shy of a first down by two. The Packer drive continues. It began at the Green Bay 25 curtain in a huge run right there to put yourself in a third and short situation. Now you can run the football if you like the look They've got all these are pose that we've been talking about the quick throws to get it out. Aaron doesn't have to hold the football, so they got lots of options here after that Nice run by Aaron Jones. It's a six minute drive by Green Bay. It's third down into the Packers of the Buccaneer 10 Rogers in the gun, flanked by a back moves a wide receiver. He's got three Rogers in the gun against the stamping hands off Jones, who slippers by the 10, and he works his way down to the five for a first down run for gray.

It's 29 degrees, Blue skies ahead three inches of snow last night, none on the field. The Packers are moving, but they played from behind all game long, Kurt. Yeah, but you know these kinds of games, right? You want everything to go in your favor, and you always want to play with the lead. But as I always say, in these big moments in big games, sometimes the most important thing is the ability to answer. And so far today, Packers have done a nice job of answering. Can they put this one on the board in the end zone entitles the shotgun formation. Shocking news six first and goal. Rogers with four wide in the back. Is Williams to his right? Rogers looks to the left and looks to the right. Let's get a form. In front shotgun snap. They rush four lines, right throw cut, fallen down, propped incomplete on the goal line. It was through the hands, the gloved hands of the falling down receiver Davante Adams near the pylon about a foot inside the goal line near side second goal for Green Bank. There's another one of those plays that will have to look at at the end of the game developed out of this so good against press coverage called Davis gets up in his face. He gives the hard moved to the inside and pizza and by about four yards, Aaron, right. Just seize it tries to put it on the back shoulder and Devante not able to come up with it.

That's a play the green Baize run a number of times in Levante, David just being a smart player. Soon as he saw Aaron Rodgers start to roll. It was get there with your speed. No, he's going to try to throw something quick to the outside, Get your hands up and knock that football down. Rogers breaks huddle 14th play of the Green Bay Drive with the Buccaneers sixties by himself in the shotgun, five yards away from his center. Four on the defensive line for the Buccaneers.

"In Green Bay, Wisconsin. Speaking of Green Bay, a legend and I mean legend Ted Thompson, the architect, and I got the I had the pleasure of saying those words to him once right after the Packers won the Super Bowl in early 2011. I call them the architect of that of that team, and any truly was and he passed away yesterday. Far too young but a gentleman. A evaluator. Truly the architect of what's become an incredible franchise, both in 2010 and again in 2020, it was telling. I think the immediate reaction to the news of his death when It was the talent evaluator side of things that was mentioned second compared to his humility and his humanity. We heard also from President Mark. My father was just this personality that you know he was always looking for the good in people. I think we all just learned so much being around him just the way he handled himself, particularly the humility, sense of humility again. What really stood out yesterday. Aaron Rodgers, David Bach, Trh Sherman Williams, Korea, Lindsley, all of them, either, speaking directly to Thompson's impactor. Writing some sort of a statement. One of those people who did meet with the media yesterday was Packer, said Coach Matt Leflore. Certainly we're sitting here with heavy hearts today. I've only had a few opportunities to meet him over the last couple years. But, you know, I just know how important he he was too many people in this building. Thompson passing away Wednesday at the age of 60 eight's going over his impact all morning, Stephen, We're talking just the guys who wrote statements on Twitter yesterday. You heard Coach the floor say it. The impact is felt. That's because he has, like 20 guys on the team that we're still directed by Ted Thompson. It's actually incredible and He could have dropped the mic after Aaron Rodgers. I mean, I Hall of Fame quarterback that fell to that position. I'd somewhere in the twenties in that draft and then you layer in all the other guys he's drafted and including he's signed just before he left the organization in 2017. He re signed Corey Lindsley and about to Adams. And he said it at the time you got way too much grief for his role in the kind of the The last few years of the McCarthy era in Green Bay and I, I've put a lot of that more of that on the coach and everyone put on Ted Thompson, but he was a class act. I told the story with Chef yesterday had a chance to sit down with him right after the Super Bowl hours later. And he could have been nicer sat on her table with a bunch of family members and we're talking about the game and he was he was Guy that was so humble. He wasn't talking about his role, Everybody else's role and how great the players were that day and I was at that game and it was. It was fun to watch. Obviously, when your team when you go to support your team wins, it's obviously something I'll always treasure. But I'll never forget how how down to earth he was and how humble he was, and that's echoed across the spectrum of sports people that knew him or or ever met him, said He was just a great guy. Great human being beyond all the sports stuff, you know, And we don't know these men and women, You know, really a few people. Maybe, but you don't really know who they are, You know, you know them from their press conferences and stuff like that. So I think it's really telling when you have people even like a coach the floor who never directly worked with Ted Thompson, at least in his capacity as general manager. Obviously still feeling compelled to speak out and actually have real things to say about them because so often in sports. Look what happened in Philadelphia with Doug Peterson. You let them do their first Super Bowl ever. And he's you know, Sean the door three years later, Rarely the sports ever end on a high note, whether it's a player or a coach or a GM Rarely Are you ever leaving big on your own accord? So It is kind of weird. You know when when these people pass, But I think a lot of stuff yesterday was very heartfelt. I'm gonna bring back some of Jason will. The from William Tosh. I mean, he was a guy that really knew Ted Thompson and the emotion. And the just The sadness in Jason's voice is he's talking about a breaking news story, which a lot of us have faced over the years that do this, I'll say this is a class act. And and there's been a lot of class acts with the Packers organization. That's why it's so beloved. That's why people treasure that franchise as much as they do, and he and he was one of those men and it's great to see that the team's going to honor him at Lambeau Field since it sounds like I'm gonna do something on the inside of Lambeau Field, the atrium area which is certainly appropriate, but Ted Thompson. He will be wherever he is. He's gonna be looking at this team on Sunday. And hopefully some of that magic that Thompson magic with all those players that you talked about Mike on the field for the for the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Some of that will carry forward and You know it, Z one of those tough moments, but also it's a promising moment for this franchise that we have another opportunity. 10 years later, a team that's had built 10 years ago is now Ready and willing to get back to the Super Bowl. Can't get any better than that Quick break..

"Um I'll root for you, but I'm not sure you're going to get the 53 You want Yeah, I got seven in the seventies is in the bank and I got four schools still going, so this would be an unprecedented day? No, I'm rooting for you, but I think we're going to see points in the second half tale. What are we looking at here? You know what we're looking at in your mind for the may be the final 42 from each division I've got I've got Casey and I'm looking on the other. I got Casey on one side. I just really don't see much. I see No Orleans. And Baltimore Green Bay on the on the other. I think the only is playing with nobody today. I mean with nobody, and they still put the took those took him to the wood shed. Uh, yeah. Great day. I love Green Bay, but I think the only way it's gonna I'm going to run the table. I'm certainly on I'm on the Roger fan wagon. For sure. My problem is the A F. C because I really like three teams, one of which I pick before the season started, which was Baltimore who had their ups and downs during the season, but are taking up trending up right now, which is a good thing. That's what you want heading into the playoffs, So I'm Still holding out hope that they can make a run and get to the Super Bowl. Kensit. He has been a bastard. Mahomes had proven he can do it. Buffalo and Buffalo. Buffalo has been scary. Good. So any of those three teams can go a NFC I like certainly Roger's best. But if not Roger's more than your New Orleans more than Seattle. Brady is impressed me the last couple of weeks. I don't see them being better than the tops report Top two or three teams in their division. I tell you one thing you look at Ball from what they were. They weren't over of 11.5. And I like that. I made a move on that when they were six and five, I was already out of the wood. And then I looked at their schedule is and look at this. They're gonna run the table. And and make it to 11 and five with a full game winning streak in the end, because they weren't playing. You know anybody, but they also righted the ship. So yeah, I do see them as they Buffalo and Baltimore in different ways can attack and the city and give him a game of sea playoffs. You're gonna be great, Solly. I appreciate it. I'm going to run to that. You got it. I want to get Frankie up here before I get out of Dodge. Frankie. We got about a minute to play what he got for me when I first rang in, and I was saying 31 minutes away the Giants where they had just Eagles that just stop Washington ahead. 14 10, right, the first three and the three plays at it from that point on perfect throw from Hertz misdirection right through the receiver's hands. Then then, then that Whiteside falls down the first down marker. And I'm saying to myself Well, is this was at the high 0.30 31 minutes to go. The Giants were away because I got so confident when I saw them down, 10. Not tonight. It was like a lead balloon because going and I said, well, the Giants He never waited Philadelphia so absolute used to Philadelphia Prime to you always winning. Here's the good news for you. Giant fans. You did two things here in the last couple weeks of the season, you beat Philadelphia. Who'd you lost 28 consecutive games. You beat the Cowboys. Would you had lost 27 confected of games? Even if you don't make the playoffs If watching football team finds a way to win, the Giants did accomplish something here in the last Want to deceive him, Shep. Good job. Thank you much. Hopefully you and I will be working together again soon. That that's the sound of NyQuil. Severe.
