[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, he legitimately was breathed on if he's spending a million bucks on it, but he will spend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think his dad had a heating and cooling company of some sort. I've been told stories that somehow


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most of Chicago either has their families air conditioning or heating or something in their building, something along those lines. And then the Baltimore Colts were purchased. And then obviously overnight, the Colts removed Indianapolis and then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I, it's just, the Earth, Jim Earthsay, I wish he was more outspoken, to be honest. One of the coolest humans ever exist. Just hangs out with Mellencamp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Beatles just partied back in the day. He was a power lifter at one point. I mean, the guy is just electric.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has a house out there, I guess. Everybody thought the Colts were going to Los Angeles, by the way. Whenever there was a new stadium potentially being built in Indianapolis, I guess there was a holdup on whether or not there would be tax help or state help or something like that. And I guess they took a helicopter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fly over Los Angeles to see, to look at sites for a potential stadium and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The story goes that within the next couple days, the state agreed to keep the Colts there or something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now you fly right over to St. Louis where the Battle Hawks made home and you get a bird above the birds and say, we're going to take your team back to St. Louis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you? Pumped up. I can't wait to see where Jordan Tomu ends up at. Jordan Tomu. Maybe New England.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He played for the Colts last year and I think he only threw like seven interceptions or something like that in one quarter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. He got a 1 year 1.05 million dollar deal, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody's saying he's good. I don't know much about him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Billy O Stooge, what's he gonna tell me about my baby mamas and stuff being around like he did to Andre Hopkins? You're not gonna talk to me like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've had a situation similar to that, not from a coach, but from management, and I responded exactly how everybody would expect me to respond. I ain't no bitch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just stuck up for myself, that's all. And I think that I would have done the same thing with ol' Billy O Stooge. If I was the Andre Hopkins and he was talking about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My baby mama's being around and stuff like that. I would have probably asked him for the other, you know, like, would you rather me not be around my children? Would that be better for you and for football? You know, I would try to run them in a circle, which is what I try to do in any conversation where I think I'm right and the other person's wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the state of the conversation, you're not in the environment of where the conversation is happening. You can never know the intent of what somebody was saying. But boy, Darius Slay seemed upset. DeAndre Hopkins seemed upset about it. So the only thing we can judge is their context of the conversation, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bruce Aarons is always like, we're going for it mentality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, like you know how a lot of coaches say, we're going to empty the bullets today. We're not going to leave any bullets in the gun today. We're going to empty the clip. Like a lot of coaches say that and then you get on the field and they're like kind of, you know, kind of conservative kind of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bruce Aarons is not like, Bruce Aarons will empty the clip. Every single, like that is his motto. So I don't think there will be many confrontations between Tom and Bruce. Cause I think Tom's probably the same way. Now, there could be a time, and I think Tom Brady is a great game manager, which isn't talked about enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why sometimes he can look a bit boring because he's not taking the shots that some people would expect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially in a Bruce Aaron style offense, so maybe there'll be a couple run-ins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where Tom is like, I didn't, I didn't want to try to fit it in there. And Bruce is like, no, no, try to fit it in there. Like that is what we're doing. I think those could potentially end up as.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But other than that, I think they're both going to be on the same page. Bruce is a, let's go, let's go down swinging.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As opposed to any other type of mindset that some coach could have. So I think they'll be on the same page. Actually, there's, I think I told the story on this. I don't know if it was on this show, the other show or another show, but there was a time when Bruce was our interim head coach. We're on our own, like 25 yard line. Maybe it was like fourth and a half a yard or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's trying to figure out whether or not we're going to punt first quarter of a game early in the game. You're on your own 25, fourth and a half yard, right? I mean, this is maybe our first drive or second drive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm standing right next to Bruce Arians. I'm like, you can get a fucking half a yard, can't you? He's like, we can get a, yeah, we can get a fucking half a yard, right? Like that is the mindset that Bruce Arians has. He's like, he believes in his offense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More than the defense coordinator believes in his defense. And that's just how it is at all times. So I think him and Tom Brady will be very much on the same page. I think where a problem could arise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is when Tom decides not to take a shot or not do something and Bruce thought that he should have. That could potentially be the only thing, but Bruce is very much like, uh, I want to see your balls drop type coach. Like that's his, he wants to, he's a, let's go for it. Let's go down. So which I liked, by the way, I enjoyed every single ounce of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like Bruce is a guy that in the practice, you know, if something's wrong, Bruce will coach him up, you know, but that's the type of feeling I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That you as a quarterback want to have is like, hey, my guy is with me just as much as I am. And that's why I think him and Bruce are going to work. And that's why


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whenever we started, you know, figuring out where he's gonna end up at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thought of him and Bruce Arians and that offense and those weapons, it all makes so much more sense now, hindsight, than it did going in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think that's why Bruce and Light, the GM, were very surprised that they could land Tom Brady. I don't think they thought they had any chance to get Tom Brady. And then they had a conversation with him. The reports are they had a conversation with him. They're like, wait a minute, we could potentially get Tom fucking Brady. We should go and get Tom Brady. The Colts thought the complete opposite. So that's where it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you gonna try hard this year? Come on. That's not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They do. That is the type of questions that press people ask, though. They ask very...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said, do you hate or love Josh McDaniels for everything that had happened here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's all anybody wants. Hey, the only reason why we're here pal. Introduce you as a head coach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I want to hear what you're thinking about Josh McDaniels and Frank Reich, by the way, being the big brain man that he is, handled it perfectly, moved forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The headlines everywhere is Frank Reich says the backup role is su- suited me well through my career. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, bang, boom, boom, boom. You're welcome. I'm gonna get out of here and never get invited back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe. There's a couple very talented people in Indianapolis by the way, media people. Just a couple? Couple, yea. Just a couple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. I don't think it's a lot. I don't know. I mean, I don't watch many local people, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dan Dockage. Dan Dockage is a guy in Indianapolis that, uh, he just stirs the pot every single day. Massive. We are massive fans of the Dan Dockage character.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Greg Doyle is a good writer. Kravitz here is a good writer. Zach Kiefer is a good writer. No, no, he just stirs the pot every day. He just gets up, puts his chef hat on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gets into his studio and just stirs the pot in beautiful fa- every single day. It- it never- he had a- there's an investigation on him right now, they say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can't do it. Can't do it then. I guess you can't do it. But yeah, there's a couple people around here that are good, but by and large, I think they're, uh, they're not the biggest fans of our operation, I don't think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A guy just showed up in our office from New York. He just drove from New York to our office.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somebody has said that the IOC is postponing the Olympics. It will no longer be for its scheduled time. It will be postponed. I believe that is coming out as an official statement here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Momentarily. Smart. I think we all knew this was probably coming. Canada and Australia this morning said that they will not send their athletes if it's not postponed, blah, blah, blah. Good move by Canada. Good move by Australia. They're postponing the Olympics. Will they inevitably cancel the Olympics this year and move it back a year?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That'll be an interesting decision because you know every two years we have the winner, the summer, the winner, the summer every four years. That's a pretty big part of the Olympics. If they move it back in time, will that ruin everything? I think we'll have to find out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But good for the Olympics, stepping up, saying we're postponing it, holding on hope for everybody. And I'm a big Olympics fan. I hope we get a chance to watch this at some point by the end of summer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That dude's built like a fish. His arms are bigger than they're supposed to be. He's got webbed toes. I mean, he's a fish. He was built to swim and he's fascinating everybody and he loves bong hits.

[Assistant] I'm a big Michael Phelps fan now. I am a Michael Phelps fan. Can we guess how many gold medals he has? Seventeen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I, I, there has to be a way we can get the 24 gold medals here. We just put them in one of those relays. Just put our fish against all the other fish in one of the relays and let this guy kinda get a retirement gold medal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those people that have been on like a strict diet, their life has been revolving around waking up at 4 a.m. Everything, their entire day has been regimented for this four year run. They're like, alright, just need one more year of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is in place of the wedding. And the wedding actually happens between me, her, uh, a spectator, and the person at the courthouse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, we gotta get out of here. We gotta go record the Office Olympics. That'll be released tonight at fi-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the music hits your bones, sometimes you can't control it, and that's what Gronk lives by.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And figure out why the coronavirus just came into our office. And, uh, we'll see you tomorrow. Are you on for tomorrow or are you out for tomorrow?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was rude. Well, if you knew what it was. People watching are like, that sounded exact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your radio show, 10 to 12, it's a great show. I see a lot of clips and sometimes I will watch it live.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And listen to it if I can, but I mean, Maryman's awesome. Like he, the dude's a monster. I think he's really well spoken. I've had him on different series shows. I do. We've talked to him on here. I think when I've been with you, I think he came on when I was hosting your show during the week, actually he did pub in his MMA company or whatever, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I mean, I don't know what he means. What does he mean by he can physically, yeah, Tom may make better decisions and be more accurate and win more games, but physically Phil is better right now. Like what does that mean? If you want to compare how much like each of them, either quarterback has fallen off maybe from where their prime may have been the peak of their career.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't sit there and listen or just agree with the argument that Phil Rivers is in better shape or is more equipped to go win for the next one or two years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well then everything's a blog now because the only people getting the actual physical newspaper are my parents' generation. Losers!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Tom Brady really wanted to come to Indianapolis, I guess let's think about it from like the contract. They gave Phil what, one year 25 mil? Is that correct?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Tom got like about two years, 50 mil pretty much with the bucks and he didn't get any of this power we were talking about last week on the show. You know, you were saying, oh, he, they're going to give Tom roster, full roster control. He's basically going to be the GM slash quarterback. He can control everything he wants. And now we, it comes out that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could they have been able, like, would their contract situation, their cap situation, allow them to get into your 50 million?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that, I think it puts added pressure on Phil Rivers now that this story is out there. Phil's like, okay, I better play well and I better play well early. We better come out of the gates hot and be 3-1, 4-0 right in the first quarter of the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hecking. Wait, I hear it's a heck of a locker room and I know it's a heck of a team. Just from seeing them competing here, especially these past couple with the new regime. Philip Rivers. Let's Hecking do this. Okay, Colts, Twitter, whoever is running that, uh, Swing and a miss, huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's worth a shot. I mean, why not? Don't be scared to ask.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those teams make a lot of sense, but when you mention the Patriots, I guess I didn't think about it until now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They could get Ted on a relatively cheap deal, one or two years, and the dude can still fly. We know that. I can still stretch the defense and open some things up, but seems like a no-brainer for the Patriots to go out there and kind of get a value signing in Ted Ginn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I played with Ted in college, I watched him take plenty of kickoffs back and punts at any time in the stadium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know when you have like an electric returner like that and the opposing team is punting and you're the home team receiving, the whole crowd like there's this weird, nervous, anxious energy that builds up with the whole crowd and like alright man, just give them one, give them a chance, don't putt out of bounds and the dude's gonna make 30 people miss and score.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like you're jogging. I played against Hester. I think my first game ever in my life, I think Hester took the kickoff for a touchdown. He may have taken a punt back on us too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why would you ever punt to any of those guys? That's like, like I said in the other show with you, punt this one out of bounds. When it's a guy like that, who cares? We'll give up to 10 or 12 yards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't really do it every single play. Troy was one of the best ever, but you can, you're worried about stats when it comes to punting. You could technically, you are that good. You could punt the ball out of bounds every single time in a game if you want it, but it'll kill your stats and kill your chance for postseason honors and all of this stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clyde Christensen, incredible quarterback coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers right now. I think he was potentially an instrumental part


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of Tom Brady ending up with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Do you think I'm right or do you think I'm wrong?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Peyton Manning and Tom Brady were golfing in Jim Nance's backyard for Peyton's places. Peyton Manning, whenever they were off camera, they were having conversations. Peyton, one of Peyton Manning's favorite coaches of all time is Clyde Christensen. Clyde Christensen,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Currently down with Bruce Arians, who's probably another one of Peyton Manning's favorite coaches of all time. I think Clyde Christensen's brain and friendship with Peyton Manning was a potential swing factor in Tom Brady's saying, I want to go to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They can ask too. They can ask to join your life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When everyone tells you the earth is flat, you say, F it, I'm gonna sail around the damn thing anyways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He coached the Bucs wide receivers in 2012. I was reading on Wikipedia. Said he used to run the routes in practice with like shoes on against DBs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think that's what, uh, what any great quarterback should and would do at the Pro Bowl. Was, I wanna know how in-depth Payton was going. Was he sitting there hanging out with Tywell, having a few drinks? Was he like pouring the shots over his shoulder? Like when people try to not get his hammer, but he's trying to extract the information?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think it's a great move. And can you imagine like Peyton, I'm sure he knew the, the targets to go after some guys that were in their first or second Pro Bowl, young players that are texting their parents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, I'm sitting in the bar with Peyton May and they're trying to like sneak a selfie in with Peyton and Peyton's sitting there trying to ask him what they do on third down and in the red zone package and the kid's just giving up all kinds of information. He thinks they're best friends. They exchange numbers and the only time you ever get a response back from Peyton, Peyton's asking him something about their defense and what they do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, you always gotta add, he puts little things like that in there to ask him how the family's doing so the kid just continues to dump information to Payton. I love the movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a weird thing because in other sports, like, but NBA basketball, I'm saying to watch the actual game, not the week, NBA basketball, you can half-ass basketball and the game will be 185 to 183 and somebody wins, whatever. Football, you can't half-ass it. Like there's, it's either full go or it's not. You got, like, oh, it's thud. I can practice what they call thud where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thud turns into full contact anyway because the running back sticking his head down running full speed at you. I'm like, okay, Thud, I can get run over or I can, I'm going to have to bring it or I'm getting smashed. So Thud turns into full go. There's just no, there's no half step in football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, just, just make it a week long of competitions that doesn't have to have a game on Sunday. Like they, each day they hype up some like, okay, today is going to be the receivers. And you've seen some of those like receiver competitions they did. Those dudes are trying to win at all costs. And if you put real money on the line, trust me, these guys, they may be making


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 8 million dollars a year, well, I should say 15, 20 million dollars a year for some guys. But if you say, okay, hey, you win this receiver competition, you get 250k, they're all going hard as a... HARD!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It can't be the reality when they're, it's after the season you're wearing full pads. Their teams don't want them getting hurt for the teams are going back to, you sure it's the off season? No, I can rehab it. Cool. I tore my ACL with a Pro Bowl. Like no one wants to deal with that or deal with some kind of neck injury. So yeah, that's why you have what you have. You can't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't play football. If you're wearing pads, you're gonna be hitting each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's all a money thing. You get people now all of a sudden that owned old bucks jerseys. They say, hell, there's new jerseys. I gotta get this new jersey and they got a whole new.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Influx of people to buy the new age jersey, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Demarcus Lawrence is making 21, Frank Clark's making 20.8. Dang. So no, I don't think he's wrong asking for that. Me either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you see Gronkh's entrance the other night? It was really nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The one guy that the drug overlord, they didn't even really go into too much on him because they couldn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] AJ, if you were actually to become a GM of a team, what would be your first, uh, your first edict?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That clears it up. I thought it was going to be to give everyone giant sized novelty shoulder pads.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You get the comments. AJ not taking that credit though. You see that? The way he deflected that credit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like, how would you guys play without any fans? Like, would that affect you guys? If you guys are on, uh, like football field?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, when I was young, maybe that's a real thing. I wasn't a good practicer. Whenever I was younger, I didn't fully understand reps. I fully didn't understand why practice was so important. I fully didn't understand that if you're great in practice, you're probably going to be great in the game as well just because of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The way your mind and your body will react. I used to think I could just turn it on and turn it off. In all sports, I used to think that and I was wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Five, six, five years out of my eight years, I learned that everything is inside your head. Every punt that I would take in practice was might as well have been backed up with two minutes left in the fourth quarter. And I feel like once you go on the field, nothing else mattered to me other than me and the ball. And I got to that point through a lot of reps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of mental work and to be honest, a lot of failures before I could get there. And then when I got to that point, it was a whole new ball game for me. So I think if there was zero people, I know a lot of people say this, if there was zero people there,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If there was 700,000 people there, if there was 20 people there, for me, it was just me and the ball towards the end of my career. And that's ultimately what made me become the best version of me. How would it work for somebody who has to bang their head on other humans on a regular basis?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the whistle and the yelling. It just makes it feel as if it's only practice. It just has the feeling of practice. So once you can get past that and really be like, hey, this matters. This is a big deal. I think guys will be able to adjust, but I do think it will be a little bit of a learning curve early.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What you mentioned there about Mike McCarthy telling you about no juice in a stadium is so interesting. Because you hear about people talking about how stadiums are going to be wild. They play the loud music. Like hey, when you play the Steelers, every single practice at some point you're going to hear,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wrong one. But yes, 100%. And then, you know, New England. This is our house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You hear about preparing for that. You rarely hear people talk about how when you're going into a place that is shitty, a place that is very quiet, that you have to prep for that too. Cause a lot of guys feed off of the energy of the stadium. They feed off of it. And whenever you know, you're going into a dud of a place, it can be a little bit of a mental challenge for some folks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I hope that Dana has some cameras rolling. I'm sure he doesn't right now. Like for the, they used to do, like they do embedded, like the 24 seven, their version leading up to fights. I wish, I hope Dana had someone following him around throughout this whole process when he got that call because I would imagine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was not super happy and he even said like, this came from the highest level and I was ordered to stand down. So I basically, I have nothing. I can't fight anymore to make this happen. But then he makes sure that he says, fight Island is real. It's going to happen. I'm going to put on fights there. And he says wherever the, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The casino that they were going to have UFC 249 at. He's like, when all this is over, I'm bringing fights there because they, they were ready to go. They're ready to roll. They're one of my, they were with me. So I'm going to reward them in the future whenever this all clears up. So Dana is, it seems to be a loyal guy. If you stand up and you're going to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do something, I guess, out of the norm for him, or you take a fight on short notice, he'll take care of you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think we should, we should, we should, let's put it out there, Pat, that we want to, we want to, whenever the first fight happens at Fight Island, we'd like to have some kind of role.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eight feet apart and we'll have long XLR cables and we'll be doing the show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And ask them, like pleaded with them, please don't let this happen because it was in California. And then that is what spurned Disney ESPN to kind of shut this thing down. So I would imagine Dana is going to carry a pretty big chip on his shoulder for Gavin Newsom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I think that's a landline call from landline to landline. Maybe speakerphone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think ESPN's in a weird spot too. They obviously, for financial reasons, want these fights to happen, but they also know like the optics of it, what it looks like. We know there's no live sports going on, so you would hope to get a ton of eyeballs on it, even if it is a pay-per-view. So they're in a weird spot, I guess. I don't know, Disney, when you're ever...

[Assistant] When Disney owns everything about it, like they, you know, it's a kid's brand. Like you can't really be taking giant chances like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they do, but they also have local, like when fighters after fights, they get beat up pretty bad and they need to get checked out at the hospital. They go to the closest local hospital. I think the closest hospital to where this UFC 249 was going to happen was 30 or 40 minutes away. And I don't know, people thought that was too far. I don't know. I don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got close. We got close. It's April 10th. You keep canceling on what? April 9th?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we were nine days away. How nice would that have been?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a monster fight card too. It wasn't like just throwing some bums out there. There's a lot of awesome fights on the card.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he should be. I mean, I think he's saying all the right things that you would expect a coach to say, but I don't think comparing this situation with Stidham coming in, if he is your next starter to Matt Castle, just a little different. Like Castle walked into a great situation. They, he would, they were coming off the 2008 season. They were undefeated in the regular season, great football team all over the place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With other quarterbacks, that helps your offense a lot and helps your team. Right now, I mean, they just need...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They need, uh, Harry, their first round pick from last year. I know he was banged up for the first half of the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They need him to be the stud he was, excuse me, at Arizona State. They need Edelman to keep playing at the high level he is. They need to find a tight end. They have plenty of running backs that they can use in various different ways, but I think it's just stacked up against Stidham a little more than it was Matt Cavanaugh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there is, and I think he will have success. That's one thing McDaniels does so well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Bill Belichick on the defensive side, like they take what talent they have, and they're gonna do whatever these guys do best. You're not gonna ask them to do things that they can't do. So yea, they'll build a great plan around Stidham if he is their guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think they will have success, but my question is like, what is success for the patrons? You can't have the same expectations you had with Tom Brady and everybody else as you do with Jared Stidham. Dale Gribble here in the comments section.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know the good thing he has though, Pat, before you get to the next one. The AFC East though, like, they're not, is anyone getting much better in the AFC East? Bills, got Stephon Diggs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean they're a solid team, I still have a hard time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They absolutely were buried because Tom Brady was in their division, so it was always tough to figure that out, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I just can't, I can't say the Patriots are done. I don't know how Boston Connor feels if he's off the bandwagon or he's still on there. I still feel like even no matter who the quarterback is for the Patriots, I still have to pick them to win the AFC East, at least right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I absolutely believe the over is the right here. Like they could, they could sleepwalk their way into 10 wins this year. Like they, when Aaron, you have the guy like Aaron that's that good and your defense is actually improved. Yeah, they're going to, I would absolutely take the over here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, I took it from a different perspective, thinking alright, Caesar's the sportsbook, sportsbooks all around the world are getting crushed right now. There's not a whole lot of things to gamble on. Maybe they're trying to get some, some cash infusion, trying to get a bunch of people to kill that over, and they're saying hey, we're gonna deal with what we can right now, try to bring some cash in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hopefully something happens and it works out for us in the end, but right now we need some cash. So it's like a gift card.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get above eight wins is if Aaron gets hurt. If Aaron's healthy, they're winning more than eight and a half games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely, like if you said eight and a half for the over and under for the Detroit Lions, I would have a hard time picking over under. I would be, I would think yea, maybe under, but I would, I would feel more comfortable picking the over for something like that. There at six and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm taking the over on that then. Me too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I know Foxy's on board. Six and a half, you think, I think if Matt, if the quarterback is healthy, I mean, who knows what happens at the third.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and he played through it, and so hopefully this time off will help him heal, but I, six and a half, I feel like I gotta take the over on that too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. They gave Ron Rivera a lot of credit. I really do. I think he carries a lot of respect wherever he goes and they think he's good enough to get him better than last place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, I was picked 24th, so it's a little, I think it's a little different when you pick 24th compared to maybe a top 5 guy. Still your first rounder, so there's an expectation you're going to play at some point, but uhm, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know Fitzie really well, he's a great dude and I think that's a great fit for him. Uh, I don't know Tua personally, but I really like the way that he's, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, such a really bad injury. I'm watching him on TV right now doing some.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, for sure. I mean, that was the most important years of my career, and it's different. I mean, you really don't see guys waiting three years to play anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, I was buying to Hall of Famer though, so it wasn't even a question. Uh, you know, and obviously Brett's the one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and was playing at a high level. But for me, that was, that was really important years for me to just get my confidence within an offense. And then, you know, the grace period, I think was a little shorter. When you start in your first year, you kind of have a couple of your grace period where you can, to figure it out. But for me, it was step in, play well in the fourth year, or you might be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Outta here and luckily, uh, you know, figure things out pretty quickly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they drafted the, if you remember, they drafted the quarterback in the second round, the quarterback in the seventh round of the 2008 draft was supposed to be my first year starting, so there wasn't


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There wasn't a whole lot of like, uh, hey, we're going to give you a season and a half to figure this thing out. It's like, you better play well or we're going to get your ass out of here pretty quick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, he gave himself an out though. Like if that was Foxy and you needed something from Foxy, you just reached out to him, probably sent him a text.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bro, cause there was a, uhm, what's that, cause, reasonable cause, legitimate cause, something about that, some clause was in there about a legitimate cause happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Commissioner May 28th, sources say Luck received a contract in between, blah, blah, blah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Terminated without cause. He was due the remaining balance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he feels that he was terminated without cause. That's why he wasn't on the creditors list, by the way, because they didn't think they owed him any money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The XFL made that incredible list where we learned a lot about people. Mark Tressman there, 770,000, Bob Stoops owed over a million dollars, a lot of other people including MetLife Stadium and Audie Stadium over there, Audie Field, a lot of people owed money and then you didn't see Oliver Luck's name on there. So I was very intrigued by that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Excited to hear what he was getting paid, by the way. Once you see Stoops is making over a million at least because this is postseason. So you already assume he's been paid at least $500,000, maybe a million, maybe he's already paid 50% of that. So I was pumped to see what Oliver Luck was making. Five years, $25 million a deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's all the money in the world you could possibly need to build a, uh, league. Make any rules you want. Here's 25 mil, let's make it happen. League gets cancelled. Oliver Mc-, Oliver Luck says, well I got no other option here, I gotta sue for this money. I assume that they'll settle on some other price? That's the way this normally goes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good for Oliver Luck, ran a hell of a league, COVID-19 came out of nowhere, and he's probably going to end up with like 15, 20 million out of this thing. 15 million out of this thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oliver Luck also ran the NCAA. He was athletic director for WVU. Got him in the Big 12. He ran the Houston Dynamo. He ran the World League. I mean, there's a guy that knows his way around contracts as well. I mean, I would assume not that Vince McMahon isn't the most underrated genius business genius that is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] America's probably ever created the most underrated. I mean, his business now is obviously in the book, but, uh, he built a billion dollar international industry out of something that was considered a regional event. I mean, the whole thing, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oliver Luck though, also a very smart businessman. Let's not, so I'm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they'll settle at an amount. What do you think it is? Let's do an over under right now. What do you think the, the settlement's for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vince McMahon just out there. And then Oliver Luck would be like smart. Oliver Luck, one of the smartest guys out there too. I mean, I think that there's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish that they would film those depositions or whatever the hell it would have been.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the league worked, by the way. So the league worked. So Oliver Luck probably feels like, hey,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With high money, I got these rules, I got stadium selling, a lot of tickets to teams that didn't even exist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Adding cups to the beer snake. Oh yeaah. It's doing it all. But if you're Vince McMahon, it's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely awesome. Vince, I hope has, you know, no tie on kind of the open.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'll probably end up being like lawyer fees, 30 million. They're both just not given in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or they just work good business together. Oliver Luck said since the beginning that Vince has been very nice. He's given him everything he wanted and kind of stayed out of his way. We're gonna find out if he stays out of his way in his pocket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look good, feel good, feel good, play good. Play good, pay good, pay good, live good, live good, die good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have the first half of the name there, uh, Pat McVie. And to my left is the other side, AJ Hawk, wearing a spaceman shirt. How is it going, AJ?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, when he was on the show, he does an hour of cardio at least every single day. Troy Aikman said that too. Troy Aikman said he does an hour of cardio every single day so they can eat whatever he wants. And I'm like, I wish I could do an hour of cardio just ever, let alone once a day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't outrun a bad diet. That is such a good little tagline right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always hear them say, nothing tastes as good as being fit feels, and I'm like, you don't try to fame a famous fucking cookie?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I gotta say, being fit. You see, that's, I probably caught the pee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The politically correct version of that statement as opposed to what they probably say amongst each other at the gyms about us vets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bro yeah, I mean I gain 30, I lose 30, I put up 50. I mean I think I am a, I am a constant yo-yo in the weight department. That is no doubt. Let's talk about that space shirt you got on right there. What's going on down there, Paul?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry, I didn't get to eat. We're late because there was a lot of running around that was going on back there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bob Bolesby, the Big 12 Commissioner, Jack Swarbrick, the Notre Dame Athletic Director, and other commissioners said there's no college sports until campuses reopen. They didn't have fucking grand. I mean that's very good of these people. Normally these people are judged for being money hungry, pocket grubby,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You name it. Not looking out for the students. And here's the commissioners coming together to voice the echo, the echo, the sentiment from the Ohio State, uh, athletic director Gene Smith saying, hey, if we can't have people in the stands and we can't have people on campuses, why, why can we expect the athletes to come play when they're student human athletes? After all, they're


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Feet were pressed to the fire in this situation to potentially turn their back on their entire stance that these are student athletes and they've stood up, they've stood up for it. I'm pretty impressed by this. I did not expect this. Now granted, this isn't Mark Emmert making this decision in the NCAA. It's the commissioners and I think it's the right move. Do you agree?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is definitely what's going to happen, because everything is so day to day. As long as you win today by saying we won't do it until then, but in a week or two or maybe a month or two, which will feel like two years from now, they'll say, oh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In light of recent discoveries, we've decided with our scientists and other things like that, that they can come in and doctors that players can actually play. That's wild. I didn't even think about it. That's definitely gonna happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, pander, you're saying. Might as well pander a little bit if you're, if your words carry no weight at this time, because we could be living in a very different world one month from now. Who cares? Might as well say the right thing in a political correct sense. You're 100% right. I didn't even think about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, by the way, good move by them doing that. Good move. Great move. Gene Smith, Jimbo Fisher, everybody's come out and had the same message basically.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, we're definitely, I mean now we're probably just gonna get dumped off the site entirely for that. Not Google. Facebook. Oh, okay. Okay, Facebook.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did everything. He talked about how they did studies of teams that win in January and they realized that it's more of a team thing as opposed to a big name wide receiver. And then I don't know. He was, he was basically, he called Deandre Hopkins a great player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He kept saying he's an incredible player. Not once did he talk about it in the parts that I heard and I didn't listen to the entire thing in its entirety, but I heard him. You get it. I heard him talk about the Andre Hopkins a couple of times in the statement and all he kept saying is he's a great player. Didn't say anything about a personal relationship, which probably smart by the way, because as soon as he gets into that, everybody will start dissecting every single word. But


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's just talking about how we took a step. We won wild car weekend. We've, we've got further than we ever been, but we got to take that next step into the Sean Watson era and we got to create a good team. And we studied teams that win in January and all this stuff. And that led to him getting rid of one of their best players. I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if that's, who studied? Like who did the study? Hey, and then there was a lot of commenters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That were just burying Bill O'Brien in there. I mean, it was tough. It was kind of, it was some savage, savage shit being said by the Houston Texans fans in there. And, uh, one person said, the Patriots never, never won with a big time wide receiver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably has to make it to the AFC Championship, right? You can't do exactly what you did this past year because everybody's expecting you to do that anyways, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did JJ what cure his back and once it was at this last year? Yeah, he came back and played the playoff game when he wasn't and he had a sack, didn't he? Obviously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean that team, if JJ Watts healthy, by the way, a completely different team, maybe they'd move even further, but I think they have to win. And I don't know how getting rid of your best guy is the way to do it. I honestly, maybe I'm wrong, but I don't know how that works.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, let's go, that pivots right to my next point. Sean McVeigh said last night on Fox football now that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The misconception about Brandon Cooks because he's been traded three times that he's a bad teammate or something like that. He said that is very wrong. I loved coaching Brandon Cooks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was one of my favorite guys I've ever coached. He said for us, there was just other situations that popped up that we had to trade him. And Jay Glazer didn't press him like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, you're talking about all the massive contracts you handed out and weren't able to deal with. Didn't press him, didn't press him on that, but that's what he meant. It was actually kind of a good conversation here. Jay Glazer and Sean McVay talked there a little bit because they also had to talk about the big


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Big news that directly affected the Los Angeles Rams, uh, which was teased for 36 hours, uh, that Brian Allen, NFL player, Los Angeles Rams center, uh, is the second documented COVID-19


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It said that he was the first, but I believe the Raiders have a player that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, had COVID-19. He was some guy on the practice squad or something like that. But Brian Allen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, second booth that they have opening up something along those lines. Maybe the NFL is doing a practice game with the stadium. That's empty, just something notable. And I believe maybe it was our fault on our show because we laid out all those things as potential things that could happen and turns out it was a guy just getting coronavirus that by the way, happy. He's all right. He lost a sense of smell and his taste.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the internet didn't feel as if that was worthy of a 36 hour tease, and I think it's because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, whenever like 45 NBA players get it and then like all the big actors and actresses get it and you don't, you've never heard of the guy, Brian Allen. That's probably why it's not considered big news, but Jay Glazer reporting the facts that he knows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I think the next one, he goes even bigger. I think he goes even bigger with it. And by the way, if it's actual cause Jay Glazer through his entire career here has broken some mighty news. I mean, he has done his


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why he has the job at Fox. That's why he has Fox football now. Fox Sports 1, Wednesday nights, 11 PM Eastern Standard Time. Uhm, I watched it last night. I watched, I watched the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wisconsin. Wisconsin. Yeah, there it is. Red team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jay Glazer should build something up and I think it should be real, you know, like actual news, you know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Korea baseball may be coming back. You know what I mean? Korean baseball is about to be streamed on ESPN from what I've been told this morning while taking my grump reading through tweets. I guess ESPN is thinking about streaming Korean baseball because it's coming back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the immediate response underneath was like, I'd watch, uh, two crack heads roll dice if it was being stream live or something like that. So people are like, we're in, we're in, we're in. And I think it's the same thing. I think for me personally, whenever you see the first preseason game, you're so jacked up because football is back. And then about a quarter and a half in, you're like, this isn't really football. What are we doing? This isn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that is potentially gonna happen with Korean baseball. I, I think it's, I think it'll come back, everybody will love it. They're like, okay, we got some competition, we got some talent, we got some sport, and then it'll take like what, three, four innings before somebody's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Doosan? Doosan! Doosan Bears, you hammer them. They're coming off a championship, they're hungry, they were locked down for a couple months working on their swings, working on their technique like that guy late night when you were growing up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which was hilarious. What was it called? State Farm? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Farm Bureau, Indiana Farm Bureau. They got the building and the jerseys for a lump sum. Have I ever told you a story about when I thought about buying the naming rights for the Indianapolis Colts practice facility?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a little bit of a, uh, grudge that I was holding against somebody that worked in a building. And the, uh, pretty high up in the rights were up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the naming rights were up and I was gonna do an entire...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was, I was gonna negotiate the entire deal for the naming rights and then get it done and then tell them the name and I was gonna have it be called the Pat McAfee practice facility. And I had the price and everything. I was ready.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. It was a few hundred thousand dollars a year, right? And, uh, I, I was willing, I was a hundred percent willing to do it. I mean, it was not even a question. And I, I, it was a spite practice facility.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so it's either, uh, the zoom or the Microsoft teams. There's going to be one distinctively from the GM for like the scouting department, right? His entire scouts. Then there's going to be one either a zoom or a Microsoft thing, uh, media to the other 31 GMs, I believe. Then there is a,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, a direct line. I guess it's like a open phone line. Or maybe it's a conference call.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Backups on backups, I guess. So there's definitely gonna be something. Somebody's gonna mute the wrong one somewhere, and somebody's gonna do something. It's only a matter of time to happen, but I think they're trying their absolute best to figure it out. And I think there's a test run either Monday or Tuesday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those boys are going to steamroll you right out of this fucking stadium. You don't pick it up. I can look at everybody's eyes. There's not enough energy in this locker room. It's like, yo,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Saw a clip from your earlier show when you were doing, you did a very quick Boston accent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a very real possibility that he was probably, probably just trying to dip his toe into the TikTok world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you be upset? Would you view him differently? Like, Oh, maybe he's not working as hard as I thought if he was there trying to, to break into the Tik Tok game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well you got on that Zoom call with your West Virginia teammates. I know they've had some issues with their privacy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they don't have their little minions. Every coach has a helper, like a GA who's their intern who is going to help them with all the little things. That guy cannot be there now in their house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? Don't you think that all of these trades and things that are going to happen, they're


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's gotta be so much activity right now with teams that wanna move around, wanna possibly trade. They gotta gauge interest in different teams. You can't, like, you need to know if you're gonna try to trade players or get up in the draft, do whatever, trade back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You need to have an idea of who you can go to because if you're gonna wait till the night of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think there's too many steps in the process. I talked to a scout yesterday after that mock draft. He was in on it and I was like, man, how bad was that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, after the beginning, like it really, it was okay. He said certain teams, it seems like every team has like different protocols on what they're going to do and how they're going to make decisions. He said, and he's like, he said, honestly, I think we should practice it maybe two or three more times before the actual draft comes. I said, you guys going to do that? And he's like, I haven't heard anything. I doubt it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's definitely a good trade bait. He's young. You're right. He hasn't been able to stay as healthy as he would like, but he's a stud, man. He was a stud in college.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was in New England. He was with Belichick back in Cleveland. He was with him. He's been with him in New England. He's been all over. His son is a coach for the Patriots right now. So yeah, he has tons of relationships and Lombardi, he says it like he, he's not actively trying to get back into the league. So he's very honest and open and how he feels about certain things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me write that down. It got me thinking about something else going back to the draft in GMs and head coaches. Someone should do a study. I'm surprised Schefter or some of the, one of these media members has not gone through and looked at


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The age of the children of some of these GMs and head coaches. If you have like a college age.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That dude could be a huge asset to some old school head coach that has no idea how to work a computer. That guy can be right next to him and muting people and showing him what he needs to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, they won't, you would think they wouldn't let that get out anywhere. I was watching ESPN earlier. Well first off, you know we're getting close. There's a countdown clock to the draft now. Two days, six hours, 58 minutes, whatever it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was amazing how many people they cram into one room. And I started to think like, wow, the communication in there, it's so easy. You're watching, you're saying, okay, what do you guys think, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We pick next in, we have 20 more picks until we're up. What are you guys, what's our options? Like what's, what's our backup plan? What are we gonna do? And they can just throw it back and forth. Now, like they gotta have a lot of that stuff in place before the draft starts. Because once it does start, I just feel like the time is so crunched, it's gonna be really difficult to come up with like a new plan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's when they just throw, they just throw something at the board of their next available best guys. Okay, take him. Hopefully he'll look like a genius.

[Assistant] If you don't need a quarterback, especially if you're in the top five, you have tons of power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well we will see what happens with two of my mock draft as well that I worked on last night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't believe the hype that Tua's gonna have this crazy fall down the first round.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, somebody outside the top 10 is gonna jump up and grab him then I think inside the top 10.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why there's so much talk about Tua. Like we're, if Tua was completely healthy and finished the season this last year in Alabama and-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And had a great year, but still didn't win the Heisman because Joe Burrow had such a, an amazing season. I think there wouldn't be all this talk about 2 of falling down the first round. I still don't think he, I don't think he's going to have that crazy fall like it's being predicted right now, two days before the draft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think someone's gonna take a chance on him. I think there's, they're probably split. There's a lot of doctors, a lot of teams that say, hey, we just can't risk it. Especially like top end, front end of the first round. We can't risk taking a guy that we don't know if he can hold up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over the course of a season, let alone a 10, 15 year career, but somebody is gonna take a chance. Somebody feels pretty confident.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think he did. I think honestly going into the day of the draft, he thought there was a good chance he was going to go number one to the San Francisco 49ers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, I remember Gil Brandt, the great long time Cowboys guy, front office, he's still around in the media doing a lot of things. Gil would call me like every day, but come on, you know the exposure you get if you come here and all this, and I was like, Gil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but you never do know. And especially if you're a quarterback, because that's what happens. If you're a quarterback and you don't go real early, you start seeing chunks of teams that aren't going to take a quarterback in the first round that year. And you're like, all right, well, buckle up guys. We know there's at least two hours until a team's picking that needs a quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went. I couldn't tell him not to go. I was out in the crowd. What are you doing? Just having a good time or ready to cheer or what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, the whole group was kind of weird. See, they all, they took off. He went to Cleveland right after the draft that night. So I didn't even really get to see him after it because they, they took him away. He flew with his, his parents, uh, and his other sister to Cleveland. But, uh, I mean, it was weird because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cleveland jumped out early. They took Joe Thomas and Brady's like, all right, well Cleveland was kind of like his.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not as big a deal now with the new CBA, because the more you fall, yeaah, they still get great money when you're top end of the first round, but the later you go, the quicker you can get to your second contract, and that's what everybody is trying to get to, and then second, third, hopefully, if you continue to play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it is a very real possibility. And a big reason why I think it's real, those comments made by Gronk, like you never know, I might not be done. So he feels pretty good. He still has the itch to play. And also, you know, Bruce Arians, don't you think Bruce is the type of guy that if he feels like Gronk would really help the team to put the full court press on Gronk and try to get him to come back?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, what, uh, the Patriots could do whatever they want. I mean, they could sit there and say, no, we need four first round picks, or we're not giving, like, would the PA, can the PA step in at any time if, if a team was being unreasonable like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they'll say, hey, but you retired as a member of the Patriots and the Patriots have your rights so they can choose to kind of do what they want with you. If you want to come back, they will welcome you back to the New England Patriots, not the Tampa Bay Bucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe because it's an NFC team, they'd be more apt to trading him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got me thinking about this whole mock draft thing. So I believe the 10x bucks are at 14.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that correct? They're picking 14, the Patriots 23. So if the Patriots want that 14th pick, maybe to jump up, grab a quarterback, Jordan Love possibly. We jump up, we get that. Oh, hey, Bucks say, yeah, you can come have this. Give us a, another first round or a couple of second thirds. Oh, and throw Rob Gronkowski in and we'll let you jump up to 14.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just have to make sure Rob is on board and you only have two days to see if he's coming back or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or maybe Bruce Arians thinks, hey, Rob hasn't committed to coming back, but I feel like if we retain his rights through a trade, we could really coax him back into the league to get him to come back down and play with Tommy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's Gronk's whole thing too. When he was getting traded or considered to to the Lions, he said, no, I'm not playing for anyone else. Tom is my quarterback. It wasn't the Patriots are my team, Bill's my coach. It was Tom is my quarterback. It's how it should be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they would definitely do their homework and study and figure out how he would fit in with the team, what he's, they'd want to meet with him in person. That's why the whole COVID situation doesn't help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When it comes to Antonio Brown, but they'd want to meet with him, see where his head's at. And I think it would be a good value pickup for them. You're not going to have to pay him an astronomical number. You can give him a very.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Heavily incentive deal to where, hey, you come up, you, you show up, you're active each game, you get a bonus, you...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You catch ball, you get a certain amount of catches, you get another million, like all of these things to incentivize him to, to stay on the straight and narrow, which he's had in the past and didn't follow. But maybe he's gotten to the point where he knows like, okay, this may truly be my last shot at the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He got chest to chest with Logan Paul, won in a boxing match with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To where people remember that about certain players. Antonio Brown's had about four or five of those things though and he continues to come back and continues to sell people that this isn't going to happen again. So maybe, I don't know, maybe he has hit rock bottom and when he does, if and when he gets another chance, maybe it'll be his resurrection tour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't blame him if someone else wrote it, but he still had to perform.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, back when I, I mean, I think when I spoke to him, Logan Paul was coming off his Vine, being a Vine star.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess not. That was like a whole industry of those Vine stars where they like, they all lived like in the same condo complex and they would get together and film for 10 hours a day trying to figure out what kind of six second videos they could put out. Like it was a weird path for a while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What people kind of cancelled him when he did the thing in the forest with the suicide deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they do. And I guess their fans will grow older with them. So they'll, they'll drag them along and get some younger followers along the way. It's pretty, pretty amazing situation that they've created.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think I, I think I did tell him, like, you guys need to go get some money from Vine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you're, I don't know if I am, you're kinda pixelating at times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't you think 95% of the time it's the other people's fault? It's not your fault with the setup you guys have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I didn't, I'm guessing that's not cheap, but, and if any, uh, coaches or GMs weren't doing that, maybe they'll, they'll catch a whiff of it from this show and they're gonna, they're calling somebody right now trying to get that whole thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He doesn't run, when he runs, he doesn't run like Taysom Hill. Taysom Hill is such a physical downhill runner. And he's super fast. You don't think Jalen is?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jaylen is, but Jaylen's not as a, he doesn't finish his runs like Taysom Hill does. Taysom Hill's looking for contact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, there's definitely not going to be a bunch of Taysom Hills. I mean, he's, he's physically very gifted and mentally, you could tell like this dude, it takes a lot to do. I think I mentioned on the show weeks ago, Taysom Hill will catch a 70 yard bomb and they put him on kickoff team. He's covering the next, the kickoff. Like that's, there's not many guys in the NFL that are willing to do that. He's David Kilgore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's like, uh, digs. Guy walked a hundred miles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't wait to see who pops up on the screen first. Like say you're watching the ESPN Draft. Who's gonna be the lead host? Is it Trey Wingo?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And how awkward is it going to be when they first throw to Roger Goodell and he's just sitting in his basement in front of a camera trying to welcome everybody to the draft?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you really wanted to put on Instagram Live, wouldn't you have to, like, put your phone up in the corner shooting the whole room and it just kinda, it's almost like B-roll of what's going on in there, in your studio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, maybe they don't have the algorithms to take people down like they do us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, tell him, tell him that. Let him know. Just to let you know, it's going to be an extreme close up if you're not wearing your suit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I think it'll be fun to have him on while the draft is happening and kind of just see what kind of knowledge he has of some of these, these college young bucks getting drafted, getting their shot in the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think he has a lot of knowledge about most of the players, especially in the first round. He's a huge fan of just watching all sports. So I think he does watch a decent amount of college football and he has a good idea of these guys coming out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey aren't we, Pat, aren't we having some special guest in studio for the draft too?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what are the boys doing to, to get ready for this? I mean, this seems like a massive undertaking for them. Like when a guy gets drafted, obviously we can't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just, uh, you know what? Jason McAfee, your brother, he's a special dude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doesn't say much, hangs out. There was a video or a clip from our show, and all the guys are laughing about something, and Jason's just in the background, just stone-faced. I didn't even get to talk to you guys about it yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That much? You think I'm gonna get that? I mean, this is obviously not the first time that Vince McMahon's been involved in a lawsuit, so I'm sure he knows his way around him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let's just say he was owed, he's owed 20 more million just to make it easy. He's owed 20 mil, I bet he gets 8.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you imagine going back and forth with Vince McMahon trying to negotiate a settlement? Like, I can't imagine another person I would


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's gonna take like five years for them to reach a settlement, I'm sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I honestly, I thought it would be more. Me too. I know that's like the most ever that one of their documentary films has gotten, but it seems like every single person has watched it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, when did they count the DVRs? Like, a lot of people DVR it because, you know, it was two hours in the first night, so, we'll get around to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I think people that understand where everything's going, they know about the internet. They know we want those, any eyeball is a good eyeball on our product no matter where they find it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eyes that see that, they're just counting cars that drive by it. So that doesn't mean every single eyeball is looking up there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think you might be right. I mean, everyone's going to have to readjust what they're doing and companies that are trying to market their brands. Yeah, they're going to have to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like figure out where they can spend money. The one thing I think billboards could work for is if you are to promote a movie, just to let, give, make people aware that a movie is out. If you see a pic, a billboard of Brad Pitt and Leo DiCaprio, you're like, oh cool, this movie comes out in a week. I want to go see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It depends, I guess, what you define a cult, but yes, there are- that's definitely happening. Huh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love Jesus, like I said, but I'm just saying, they chant together, they sing together, it's very cultish. I mean that's, okay, every college football team does the same thing too. Also very cultish!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean I guess there are good cults and there are bad cults. It's amazing that there are still bad cults out there with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the internet. How do you still, well I guess, the cult.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was a bit surprised to hear that now. I love that Deandre said make sure you put that in. I don't want that in. That there's no relationship. Like that can't be left out of what you're gonna say about this situation. And it's, I feel like it is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe 100% on the coach when you have this kind of situation. You have your star player DeAndre Hopkins. It seems like all his teammates seem to really like him. We know the plays he made made on the field for so long. That's on the coach. Even if you don't like the way he's going about it, good. Then confront him and tell DeAndre, Hey man, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your production is off the charts. What you do for this team is amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They may hate each other, but they have some respect, and they're gonna all, they're all fighting for the same goal. But the fact that there's no relationship, that's on the head coach, man. Like, you gotta find a way to get through to your player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just awkward all the time. Can you imagine if you're one of your star players, one of the biggest superstars in the NFL, and he doesn't speak really with your head coach?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you pop it up? Can, can Zito pop it up on the screen? Our, ours next to each other and we can kinda talk through it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, maybe somebody's telling him. Yeah, maybe someone's giving him some inside info.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm sure he'll have it Thursday night. Is he wearing a suit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got confirmation on that yet. I will, I will make sure and see what happens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, you mean the, yeah, the, the little lunch that the kickoff luncheon thing where he dresses up in, in themes every year?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We would always do it the day we were leaving to go to our last preseason game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's cool. We never, ours was pretty quick. We would, I don't even know if we ate. We would maybe eat quick. The head coach would say a few words. They'd give like a community award to somebody and then we would hit the road.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he has like a little outline with bullet points, that's fine, but don't read it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They probably, they probably breathe a sigh of relief, like man we're gonna miss Pat's production on the field, but you know what, we don't have those headaches anymore thinking about bringing in outside speakers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't, obviously, they don't have any hard feelings. You're back there all the time doing stuff for the Colts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, when you say everybody else, that may be in your own little bubble, Pat. I didn't see anybody posting about the Colts new logo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like those, didn't uh, people that watch Game of Thrones that were real die hard, like celebrity fans, they sent them some weird box where you'd open it up and it would play music.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, are they going to, you think they're going to send each possible first round selection, all 32 hats?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well yea, because they said you can't have any sponsors on your shirt that aren't licensed with the league, you can't have anything in the background, that's, that's, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The logo, you can't have anything. Like there's very, very strict rules on, it's gotta be what, Pepsi, if there's any products like that, you can't have Coke products. There's only like licensed league sponsorships available. It's taking money from the players because they can make money wearing shirts, putting stuff in front of them, all that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gadel sent a, he sent a memo out. Yea, they're, they're serious. They won't, they said they won't go to your live shot if you have like competing logos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you just do it, keep everything, make everything look good, make everything look perfect, and then all of a sudden when Gadale's doing his virtual dapp with you, right in the middle of it, you pull it out, you stone cold, like, you have every sponsorship possible that's not affiliated with the lead, and you try to get at least 2 or 3 seconds on air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pays you 100k, you get fined 50, they're like hey, you're gonna get fined, but we'll pay it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, uh, there's no contingency plans to go out and quarantine them and play in centralized locations like other sports are playing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they're doing this, obviously, to get some kind of live sports on ESPN. Oh yea, bum. And who's going to be, the only people watching this are going to be the gamblers, right? Oh yea, bum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mel Kyper will probably be watching, I know Mel watches every sport possible, like when I've listened to him on a couple different interviews, he'll watch any, any sport that's on at any time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You should absolutely be excited for this. People are excited for the Korean baseball league. You're watching that. This is a legit sport that is going to, it's going to happen. Like it feels weird that it is going to happen this Saturday, but it is a giant card. It's absolutely loaded. Do you know Tony Ferguson at all? Have you heard of him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he's fighting a big old dude, Rosenstrike, Rosenstruke, however they say it. Another, it'd be a monster. Greg Hardy's on the card. I'm not sure why he's on this one exactly. Uh, Cowboy Saroni is fighting, uh, Anthony Pettis. You know Cowboy. He just got knocked out by, uh, Conor McGregor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and he fights, he tries to fight 30 times a year too. Like, cowboy takes every fight possible. They try to get him to take time off and he won't do it. So yeah, I think the top to bottom, this is a great card. A lot of times the cards, there's so many of them that yeah, you may be interested in one or two fights. This one, I think there's a legit five, six fights that even casual fans would love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I bet there's going to be a good chunk of money placed on this card because people are just itching to find anything to gamble on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he's taking a chance. I was, I was curious when he got, when you signed him, like, okay, if he does continue to get better and better, is that good for the UFC? Because we know Disney ESPN has a huge chunk of money in the UFC now. Does Disney want that to be Pub and Greg Hardy? If he does, like what if he's eventually contending for the belt?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it would, it would help a lot if they had some kind of uh, number one, I think wrestling background growing up, which a lot of football players do, especially big dudes. Or if you had some, just some kind of martial arts experience, whether you grew up


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, as a kickboxer or something, like you need some kind of experience to help. And I don't think Greg Hardy had any, but he's such a big physical freak and such a stud athlete. He's, he's picked up on it pretty quick, but I don't, I think a lot less than most people think. Some people think, Oh, look at these big dudes. I can just throw them in there. No, absolutely not. You'll get worked, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you go against true professionals that have been doing this since they were in, they were five years old. This is what they've been doing while you've been playing football, baseball, basketball. They've been doing mixed martial arts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what's weird about when, when people want to get offended by different certain, like everyone, whatever, you, you have the right to be offended at whatever you want. That's where we are right now. But when a lot of times, especially in MMA, when fighters start talking and they go back and forth, like in press conferences and through the media or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of people are like, oh, are they crossing the line? He's getting too personal with his trash talk and what he's saying. Like, this is crossing the line. Should we, should there be some kind of line where they don't cross verbally before? And a guy that I used to do a serious show with, RJ Clifford who fought for a while too, he said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you serious? He's like, you're going to be offended by what they're going to say before the fight. He said they're going to be locked in a cage in shorts and nothing else. And they're going to try to kill each other. The first one to get them to submit or knock them out cold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to. The ref tells them, hey, you go until I stop you. Like, so you can't leave it up to them and let that guy recover.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the quarterback too, like how much money did he lose by not going, you know, where he thought he was going to and then sliding down to like 23 or 24 or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think all those shows are pretty much still doing studio shows. Someone is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd like to know if he wants him to take offense or defense in that late first round


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just, there's no competition right now, nothing, this is the first thing that people had to look forward to, there's nothing else on, like, and then you factor in all the international numbers if they're watching it through Netflix or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No training camp talk has been. I don't know how long training camp would be. I would like to see that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No bye weeks, moving the Super Bowl to February 28th instead of February, something like that. They're thinking about really making the move. And this is interesting because they're getting information, by the way, that we're not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very realistic when it comes to health concerns for the players and things of that nature, but hearing them think about October 5th being the first real time. I mean, that's a long time from now, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Texas is opening up on Friday, I believe. So Texas is coming back. I'll be pumped to see what happens in Texas, because if...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Still have the ability to stay home if they want, if the state opens up, and then the people who are allowed to go outside, if no real spike happens, which I have no idea if it would or not,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The people that go outside are gonna talk so much shit to the people that are staying inside. That is just something that's gonna- and I'm excited for those roasts. I mean, it's gonna get bad. The people that are gonna go outside, they're already outside protesting things. The things they're gonna say to their neighbors who are choosing to stay inside and won't talk is gonna be absolutely terrible. And on the flip side,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the people that are staying home, and if this thing gets bad, the shit that they're gonna be zooming their friends about is gonna be next level. This is a big thing what Texas is doing for all of us. Big, big thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a friend in New York, uh, that wasn't allowed in his girlfriend's apartment complex by the doorman. Like, you're not allowed in here. He didn't live there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's insane. I don't think New York or LA are going to be up for a long time. Feels like those big cities are going to be kind of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For us to get back to normal, but boy, I hope because if, if, if this rollout happens and it all goes up again, we're never going to fucking be allowed out. It'll be, it'll be past October. Hey, Texas, if you've got great immune systems, get your ass outside. If not, we need not to happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, fuck it. People are gonna roll the dice, I guess. We'll all learn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, this is a weird time to be alive. UFOs are real. I mean, this is a wild time to be alive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look good, feel good, feel good, play good. Play good, pay good, pay good, live good, live good, die good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every team already knows who they're playing. They know where they're playing. We just don't know the order in which they play these teams. So the schedule release doesn't really give us a ton of info. It just tells you when they're going to be playing the opponents that we already know they're playing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, but the first, the only thing I looked at, I guess the first thing I looked at, okay, wins are by. Yo, bye week's a big deal. Hopefully it's somewhere in the middle of the season. Who knows? Whatever. I looked at the bye week and then


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess kind of like you, what the majority of teams did, you look to see, Oh, maybe we'll get, I was in green Bay. So I'm thinking hopefully maybe if we're playing a Florida team, we play them late in the year, November, December, we get one of those to take one of those freezing games, uh, off the run, the list, I guess. That's all I cared about. I didn't ever look at like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that's too tough. Back to back away games. I never looked at that. That was never an issue for me. Maybe it was other guys, but the schedule release in the schedule was never talked about in the locker room where I was like, I don't know if it, if it is other places or maybe I just had my head and buried my head in the sand and didn't care. But

[Assistant] I don't remember it being a big deal inside the locker room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I think Rich is a good guy to host this thing because he can...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He'll be fair to the NFL to where he's not going to like attack these coaches, but he is going to ask him some normal questions like that we care about. Ask Belichick about Tom Brady. Belichick gives us nothing. I think Bruce Arians, the guys with big like dynamic personalities, they'll give some real answers. They want to have some fun with it. Rabel will definitely give some good answers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, he doesn't care to just speak about the schedule. It's just, what do you like? What do you ask these guys? Hey, so coach, your schedule came out. What do you think? I don't know. We found out who we were playing months ago. It doesn't matter what time we're playing in the date of the game. So they don't really care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean you would hope so. I don't know. Like I'm curious as to how this plays out. So wait, who has the official release? The NFL Network and then ESPN is covering it from there? Like how does it work?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I guess, but what kind of reaction can you have? Like honestly, when you look at the schedule, what can you say? Oh, what do you think? A couple tough back to back weeks there, huh, Jimmy? Yeah, well, I guess so. Guess what? It's the NFL. Everybody's good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was gonna say, with all those guests, like, ESPN's gonna be three hours, that's gonna be six hours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is this not extortion? Blackmail? Like what is this? This is public extortion by Jaina. Now she wants- It's illegal, right? Well she's the worst. This lady is the worst. And I'm not just saying that because I know nothing about her. She's the worst human on earth. Like, you sign

[Assistant] Not only Zion's family, all of college basketball. Hey, Gina, take a fucking hike lady. Okay, you lost. This is the way business goes. If you're not good at business, you need to just find other clients and hopefully not fucking up with them. Now granted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All this stuff. She's not gonna be happy to watch that. But that's how that business goes. Like that's how the agency business goes. That's how marketing goes. You c- it comes and goes. If you're not good, move on to the next one. You only get a certain amount of time to make money. And now Jina's like, you give me a hundred million dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or, or, listen, you don't have to give me a hundred million dollars if you just talk about all the wrongdoings that we did together. I mean, just, I hate this giant


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because if you watch this, I talked about this earlier today and the other day, if you watch that,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Netflix thing called The Scheme? I believe it's called The Scheme. Yeaah, HBO. What's his name?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Christian Dawkins. Christian Dawkins from Detroit was basically talking about how he was the point man for all these teams and players and shoe deals and all the money that was getting handed out and stuff like that. And he was talking about how if it's not me, it's somebody else in another area. So I think the basketball landscape is much different than every other sport.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It does make it, whatever. They gotta do what they gotta do. They gotta get better. And we're looking at other buildings anyway. So, let's move forward though. But this is all to sell shoes, I think. It seems like it all revolves around


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which shoe company is going to get which superstar in the future? Now granted, the coaches, they want their players, but that's all coming from the shoe companies as well because teams are different, sponsored by different shoe companies. The basketball world is one where this G League thing,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think so. Now, the, the kid that's going in for the last, what, 35 seconds when it's a blowout, I don't think they're getting anything. But I would assume that most of the starters everywhere that matter have been getting money probably since they were children.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For, from different shoe company, I would assume. And I think that's just kind of the way it goes. And now John is coming out about to expose it all. It's gonna, could potentially burn the entire Haas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait till Yannis gets in there. He's only got one pair out, I think one design. They are good. But nothing will be like Jordan's. I mean, that's a whole entire world in and of itself. The sneakerhead department has Lyft, Kanye, the Yeezys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There we go. Not another player, but Tanya, the Yeezys I think have demanded a similar amount of market as the Jordans in a relatively fast time somehow. I think that has been something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you ever had the Adores? No. Yeah, I had them in high school and I posted a picture of me wearing them and they got a lot of love by a lot of people like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I forgot I even had them on. They were my cleats in soccer. I wore the Adoras. They had good patent, uh, kangaroo leather, I believe. I think they had, that's why I wore them, because I got fat feet, you see. I got really wide feet, so I can't fit into all of the, the skinny stuff that a lot of people have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look good, feel good, feel good, play good. Play good, pay good, pay good, live good, live good, die good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are those two diff- separate different things? Like the man in the arena is Tom Brady ESPN special and then I think the LeBron and Tom thing is on the Apple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, cause the Tom and the LeBron one is called Greatness Code.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man in the Arena is going to be a nine part documentary on Brady on ESPN. Jesus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jordy lives here, he's a legit farmer. His brother is a farmer slash cowboy. What? So last night about 8.30 he said, hey, you want to go over? We're going to do some roping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he says we, not me, his brother and everybody. So last night until about midnight, I was at his brother's property in the arena he built letting
