1:02
Podcast called twenty five
1:04
wistuball and
1:06
they whist so.
1:07
Yes, too bad, But what did
1:10
you expect.
1:10
It's a podcast called twenty
1:13
five wiste.
1:18
Yes you heard anybody who yelled football? This
1:20
guy, the new guy, right, he didn't
1:23
know. We didn't tell him. So when
1:25
it's not football season, we have the intro
1:27
that goes, it's blank,
1:30
we're talking, and we all wear a whistle.
1:32
We yelled sports in the middle and I said,
1:34
hey, we're not gonna yell sports. We'll do the football one, which
1:37
Brandon interpreted as yell football.
1:39
But what an idiot he recorded the original one.
1:43
Who sings the theme songs. Yeah, yeah,
1:47
there is it is football.
1:49
We doubled up.
1:50
Yeah.
1:50
I watched the entire draft last night. Yeah,
1:53
and most of the time I don't watch all of it.
1:55
Life gets in the way. But I kind of had a
1:58
couple extra tokens I could use just
2:00
being an awesome husband, and I was just like, I'm just gonna watch
2:02
the whole draft. Yes, yeah,
2:04
So I didn't really catch him out of stand the other room. I
2:08
just didn't. Yeah, I just hit. I hit basically.
2:11
So I
2:14
don't want it to be too much about what's gonna happen in the second
2:16
round, we can say, sure they didn't get
2:18
drafted shoulder. And that was weird
2:20
because it was where's
2:23
he gonna go? I mean, first it's
2:25
possible they would go to Cleveland, but when Cleveland traded
2:27
out of that spot and jackson Villain's have given up everything
2:29
to get that spot, you're like, well, he's not going to Jacksonville
2:32
because they have a quarterback they just paid for a long time.
2:34
So then you're like, possibly the Giants,
2:36
but probably not the Giants. And he didn't go to
2:39
the Giants. So then the
2:41
Browns were there at five, and you thought maybe the
2:43
Browns were trading back
2:45
because they knew that Shouldar would still be there
2:48
at five, and so there is some
2:50
value to trading back a few spots, getting
2:52
some picks, and getting the same exact person
2:54
later. But when they took Mason Graham,
2:57
you're like, well, I don't think it's
2:59
gonna be the Raider because they
3:01
just paid their quarterback. And that's
3:03
like a Pete Carroll reunification
3:06
tour there, yep. And so you're
3:08
going, okay, well let's just look down. I
3:10
hope it'd be the Jets. I have been hilarious. It
3:13
wasn't the Jet Open, it wasn't
3:15
the Panthers they have a quarterback, But it was the
3:17
Saints at nine. That's what they had been talking about
3:19
for a long time. But the whispers had then
3:22
started to be the Saints
3:24
didn't even really value Schudur as
3:26
the next quarterback up. And
3:29
you're going, really, they may go and they
3:31
may go to Ole Miss. It's funny they call Ole Miss
3:33
Mississippi.
3:34
Yeah, because they put on.
3:36
The screen and they do it. They put on the screen, oh Miss.
3:39
But Goodell goes
3:41
from Mississippi University of Mississippi.
3:43
Ye.
3:44
So but no, no quarterback at all taken
3:46
by the Saints. Then you're thinking,
3:48
well, will it be the Cowboys?
3:50
And only because they're dumb, that's the only reason.
3:53
That's funny thought, that's the only reason. Because
3:55
I thought, maybe it'll be the Cowboys just because they're idiots.
3:57
Yeah, not because they needed it. They they're paying
3:59
down fifty million a year.
4:01
That never crossed my mind.
4:02
But wasn't the Cowboys.
4:04
Nope?
4:05
Then you're going, is it the Dolphins?
4:07
Two is always hurt. They
4:09
are paying them a bunch of money, but that backup
4:11
gets regardless of who it is gets
4:13
a lot of playing time, and
4:16
I think the ESPN analytics, because I was
4:18
flipping from ESPN to NFL Network,
4:21
how did it like forty six percent Miami
4:23
at that point? So Miami ends
4:25
up going to defend the tackle, and you're looking
4:27
down and you're thinking, either someone's going to trade
4:30
in at any minute, or
4:32
a quarterback's not gonna get taken. Because the Falcons
4:35
don't need a quarterback. They didn't take a quarterback,
4:37
The Cardinals don't need a quarterback, The Bengals don't
4:39
need a quarterback. Seattle possibly,
4:43
Okay, no Shitar, the
4:46
Bucks don't need a quarterback, the Broncos don't need a quarterback.
4:49
Nobody's trading in, and now
4:51
it's all coming to the Steelers, right because we had
4:53
heard if he lasted a twenty one, which we didn't think it was gonna
4:55
last twenty one anyway, for sure, the Steelers
4:58
Derek Carmon defensive tackle again, Oh
5:01
crap.
5:02
I would have bet the farm on that.
5:05
So in my mind, I'm thinking probably
5:08
the Chargers next, because
5:14
the Charger would have traded that pick, is what I would have thought,
5:17
because if the Steelers weren't gona get him, it's open market
5:19
for any of those other teams. But the Chargers being next, now,
5:21
they didn't they took They got there from
5:24
North Carolina and then away we went.
5:26
Packers on need to quarterback, Vikings on need to quarterback.
5:29
Oh wait, wait wait, there's a trade.
5:33
And they showed the draft room where
5:35
is and he's got a huge smile and he's like laughing, ude,
5:37
what was funny. The funniest thing to me was on
5:40
ESPN they showed where Shadur was.
5:42
He's in Dallas. There his home
5:44
and there's a big draft party. But on the screens they have NFL
5:47
Networks draft coverage. They didn't last very long in that room.
5:49
They cut out of there because they were showing NFL Networks.
5:53
Yeah that's who they were watching that.
5:56
I didn't notice that, Yeah, because I saw Rapport
5:58
and on the found network it was Eisen
6:01
and Rappaport and also okay,
6:04
yeah, so okay, giants
6:07
about to get them, about to get shutter. Here we go,
6:09
baby Jackson Dart University
6:11
of Mississippi.
6:14
My favorite is when they showed the fans and they're.
6:16
Like, and
6:19
there had been a lot of talk that it wasn't gonna
6:21
be Sudar. But it was like we're
6:24
hearing I know it's not the most
6:26
popular thing to say, but Jackson Dart
6:28
could go before shouldar uh
6:30
and then shoulder never went. So by the time you hear
6:32
this, shooter is probably the first pick in the second round, probably
6:34
in Cleveland or whatever, because Cleveland,
6:37
imagine that they're still going to get the quarterback. They
6:39
almost took as
6:41
round the first pick in the second round.
6:44
Wild and nobody they don't
6:46
have to trade that pick. Like, if that's what they want, they got it. Nobody
6:48
can actually trade into it and take it from them. It's
6:50
crazy.
6:50
Yeah, and they stocked up. Yeah,
6:53
the Jaguars trading up.
6:54
Which to say about that, The
6:57
Jaguars gave up a
7:00
lot. Yeah,
7:02
However, the Jaguars GM is
7:04
like thirty two for sure. He trades like I
7:06
do on Madden, Like he just trades,
7:10
probably the way that I just push.
7:12
Will they accept this? Will they accept this? What if
7:14
I add one more? Will they accept this? Well?
7:16
They and then finally somebody yep, trade
7:19
accepted And so yeah, they gave up a lot.
7:22
However, I'm a big believer
7:24
of taking big swings. He took
7:26
a big swing, and if you miss. Okay, you
7:28
took a big swing and it sucks. But you
7:30
really don't do big things unless you take big swings.
7:33
And it's not as if they're going to
7:36
be any good for the next couple of years. Without big swings.
7:39
They can slowly rebuild that culture, but that's
7:41
a four or five year thing. Yeah,
7:43
and they will have to rebuild a culture. But they got a new coach.
7:46
They now have Travis Hunter. They got a new GM. It's thirty
7:48
two years old. I was watching the interview. He's like, it looks
7:51
like a kid. It's crazy, Like, for sure,
7:53
he trades a lot on Madden.
7:54
Oh yeah, that's how your practices.
7:55
Yeah, I watched the whole thing. I
7:57
thought it was fun whenever the Eagles traded up one spot,
8:00
but that was in the first round,
8:02
just to make sure. But
8:04
they traded up with the team that went
8:06
one spot behind him, where
8:08
it's almost like you call can't sit and you go, hey,
8:11
are you gonna take John Campbell?
8:12
Right?
8:13
No, all right, then we're gonna be good and sit here. But
8:16
they were like, we don't trust you, Yeah, trade us and we'll
8:18
give you a fifth round. And so they traded up one spot
8:20
and they got him. Think about him was he was like twelfth,
8:22
thirteenth, fourteenth on all the boards, but he had he
8:25
was hurt yep, because he's so good. The
8:27
Eagles, it seems like every
8:29
year have somebody fall for character reasons or
8:31
injury reasons, then ended up being awesome
8:34
because that culture there either
8:36
a they heal up or.
8:38
Be and the Eagles already had like as a fan
8:40
base, have character issues.
8:41
Well yeah, or be
8:44
that culture corrects them, right yeah, oh yeah,
8:47
Like you don't go into you can't really go into that place
8:49
to be an idiot because they'll whoop you. They'll whoop it
8:51
out of you. Yeah. So I
8:53
thought for the most part it was a pretty fun draft because
8:55
you just didn't know. The whole time. I
8:58
kept thinking the Cowboys were gonna draft Golden
9:00
from Texas.
9:01
That's what I wanted, man, that receiver. That would
9:03
have been great. But you know what, though I'm happy with this
9:05
pick. We needed someone to take Zach
9:07
Martin Zach Martin's place.
9:09
You're not happy with the pick. No, you're happy
9:11
with now when you look
9:14
you wanted we want to flash Patthey
9:16
Golden, you said you get annoyed when they drafted.
9:18
I want a gent and then I wanted Matthew Golden and
9:20
then Scataboo after that. But Skataboo
9:23
will be around. I think we have three
9:25
picks in the seventh rounds. Well, maybe we get scatter.
9:27
You'll definitely draft a running back. There's a lot of them.
9:29
Yeah, heavy running back draft. Yeah, you
9:32
weren't happy last night, but I think you'll be happy.
9:35
It's like a sexy investment.
9:37
Sure, didn't know much about investments. But
9:40
when I'm like, ooh, let's do a restaurant
9:44
that's a wide receiver or hey, you're
9:47
like, it's gonna be fun. But if
9:49
someone's like, actually the S and P four four
9:51
eighty, you know you could do this and it goes up one point,
9:53
I'm like that sounds so boring, Okay, and then like three
9:55
years later, your lies of the restaurant out of business,
9:58
it's boarded up, or it's a daycare.
10:00
Now money,
10:03
it's actually made you money. Yeah, like that's what you guys?
10:06
Did you invested in whatever that is?
10:07
I know. But there was an interview that he did afterwards
10:10
with Michael Parsons and a couple other cowboys,
10:12
and it was so awesome. They
10:14
asked him, like, you know about He's
10:16
always said that he loves taking the
10:19
the love out of people's eyes when he plays
10:21
football. And they're like, what does that mean? Did you hear
10:23
this?
10:23
I saw that.
10:25
What does that mean? And he goes, he goes, He's
10:28
like, football is a child sport, Like it's you know,
10:30
you wake up in the morning, you excited to play the game. And
10:32
he's like, and I took so much, so
10:35
much love out of playing these guys
10:37
and watching the game start with them loving
10:39
the game of football and in the middle of the game
10:41
them looking like they hate the game of football.
10:43
And I was like, Yes, that's what I'm talking
10:46
about. That's what the Cowboys need.
10:48
You've been terrible. Jer Eddy would shift on every single
10:50
thing because he was all upset. Now he's like,
10:52
yeah, upset.
10:53
I was disappointed. But then after I
10:56
saw that interview and like, this is cool and he's the
10:58
third tyler on the offensive line. You're
11:00
just gonna get.
11:01
Well, you're justifying a lot of ways to like this. You know,
11:03
he's really good. He's a guard. Guards usually don't get
11:05
drafted at early. Tackles are much
11:08
more valuable because of how athletic they have to
11:10
be defending the edge
11:12
because those ends have the
11:14
ability. But yeah, no, uh awesome,
11:17
let's me go so, yeah, good job Cowboys.
11:19
As a non Cowboy fan, I think that was a good pick
11:21
by the Cowboys.
11:22
Yeah, you have clearer eyes.
11:23
I can understand why I'm in a Cowboy group chat, which
11:26
I don't want to be in. They put me in. I can't get out.
11:28
I don't even respond to that Cowboys group chat.
11:30
They were all like oh or
11:33
nothing for a long time after the pick, and they all leading
11:35
up to it, the memes and pictures, and then
11:37
I rode on there. The crowd goes mild.
11:39
I guess I did nothing.
11:40
They said nothing. What is everybody else think? Yeah,
11:42
so a pretty good draft. I mean Cam wod
11:45
obviously we knew he'd go number one. Travis
11:48
Hunter we knew would probably go number two.
11:50
We just thought it'd beat to Cleveland, Abdill
11:54
Carter. It kind of was the way we thought.
11:56
It just wasn't all the teams that we thought I did.
11:59
I've had two bad I had betting losses
12:01
in the past two days though.
12:03
Did you bet on the draft?
12:04
Well only I only made one bet. I may
12:06
I've lost like thirteen hundred dollars in the last two
12:08
days. I'll tell you my two
12:10
bets specifically. You good, Yeah,
12:13
I'm richt
12:15
you.
12:15
Need a loan.
12:16
I'm okay. I don't like it, Spot,
12:19
I mean, it sucks. It's not like fun
12:21
to lose, But now I appreciate that, Rightead, we're here
12:23
for you.
12:23
Yeah yeah, I had about twenty bucks all together.
12:26
Yeah. Yeah.
12:27
I bet the other night when Golden State was
12:29
down like eighteen to the Rockets.
12:31
They were at minus. There's Golden State plus
12:34
eight and a half going into half, and I was like, Oh, for
12:36
sure they may not win this, but they're gonna end up getting
12:38
and so I'm putting.
12:39
Wait, wait, you said for sure. Yeah yeah,
12:41
it Almos gets me. When I say for.
12:43
Sure, I'm like, for sure, gold does it. Golden State
12:45
they may not win, but they'll climb within eight
12:47
points and they didn't. Actually, they lost bad.
12:49
That's about fifteen. I saw a five hundred bucks
12:51
on that one, and in my account, I think
12:53
I had thirteen hundred bucks, and
12:55
so I bet Ashton genty to go
12:58
fifth overall last night. The
13:00
rest of it like seven hundred dollars seven thirty or something,
13:02
and he went sixth, and that was only because
13:04
the order changed.
13:06
Dann, That's crazy, that's close.
13:07
I think it was. To
13:10
look at that again, what do oh you know because
13:12
Cleveland popped into that five spot. It did because
13:15
if the deal was Jacksonville at
13:18
five wanted to take him, and if
13:20
Jacksonville would have been at five, they would have taken him. But Jacksonville
13:22
traded up to the two spot. So I think had that trade
13:24
not happened, I would have hit.
13:25
Yeah, Browns, we went down to five.
13:27
Yeah, so hey,
13:30
ub blood do you ubla?
13:31
Do I know? But that live NBA, dude, that's tough.
13:34
I didn't watch the game. I fell asleep and I woke up and
13:36
I was like, oh, let me count my moneyes. Oh god,
13:39
what that was funny?
13:39
You said this today too, You're like, man, I want to sleep. Hear
13:42
the Grizzlies won and sure got picked.
13:44
No, none of that happened.
13:45
Well, I didn't think she got picked, but I did think
13:47
to Grizzlies won because we were talking about it on the show.
13:49
I watched that whole game too.
13:51
If they were up by twenty or something.
13:52
Shit just started draining threes in the second half, and that
13:54
was over and I had.
13:56
Just assumed it was two to one because
13:58
we did the YouTube video with Raid see if I was gonna
14:00
buy some tickets to the game, and I'll say it's two to one.
14:03
And I was like no, no, no, like, oh
14:05
my god, they lost again. I knew Jow got hurt.
14:08
Yeah, but it was like a it was like a twenty
14:10
point lead. Yeah, twenty nine crazy,
14:12
Yeah, Thunder up three to zero.
14:14
Hey, I called it. I'm
14:17
just joking. I'm not gonna say that yet. I'm not gonna say
14:19
that yet. Wait till round two.
14:21
But it is fun though. It's fun now that like.
14:23
I'm rooting for the Thunder, but there's a bonus
14:25
to me. Now if they don't win.
14:26
Are you rooting more for Thunder or me and a
14:28
thong Thunder?
14:30
But there is a consolation, which is you
14:32
have to pay off the bed. I think it'd be awesome
14:34
with a Thunder one. I just I've been playing two K
14:36
a little bit, not online, but just myself because sometimes
14:38
I wake up like two in the morning, and there's
14:41
a breaking point of when I wake up and
14:43
when I try to go back to sleep and
14:45
when I wake up and I just can't go back to sleep because then
14:47
I'm messed up because there's a certain level
14:50
of nap that just messes my brain up. So
14:52
there's a breaking point. It's like two forty five.
14:54
I wake up before two forty five. I'll
14:57
try to go back to sleep. If I'm up three
14:59
ten, three twenty, I'm just
15:01
up because I'm gonna wake up in the next hour and a half anyway. So
15:04
I started to play two K twenty five just
15:06
against the computer. So I built a team, and I grabbed
15:09
the Thunder. That would be my favorite NBA team, even though
15:11
don't really have a favorite, but it's my favorite NBA Current Thunder,
15:13
All Thunder, Current Thunder because it's
15:15
the season and I tried a Chat.
15:17
He sucks. Wow, I don't know what to do
15:20
with him really, yeah, because he's
15:22
a fine three point shooter, but he's not quick enough. I just don't
15:24
know how to use him on the game. He was like a ninety overall
15:26
traded who did you tradeing for Amen
15:29
Thompson and another
15:32
draft pick? So I got rid of Chat. He
15:34
sucks on the game, and he also couldn't post people out.
15:36
They push him around Skinny as a rail. Gonna
15:38
be a terrible general manager.
15:39
I played like the Jaguar.
15:41
Yeah, I play like I played like two games
15:43
and I was like, I gotta trade chet. I'm out of here, so
15:45
we're all scared of you. Yeah,
15:48
so that's what's up. I want to play. I
15:51
found this on TikTok. It was hilarious to me. I
15:53
think it translates audio wise. But
15:56
it's a compilation of the worst draft
15:58
reactions of all time from the last decade.
16:01
And it was posted by Skimma
16:03
Scavie on TikTok. And what it is
16:06
they'll say and the so and so draft so
16:08
and so, and the crowd gets all pissed off, but it ends
16:10
up being great, like a great decision. The crowd
16:12
had no idea. They have a time
16:14
machine, obviously. I think this translates
16:17
go ahead, hit.
16:17
Of Mike, the bucalo Bill selection
16:20
Josh Allens.
16:23
Vikings with Justin Jefferson. I am
16:26
kind of unhappy with that, jjaj.
16:36
It hurts quarterback.
16:37
That has to be the stupidest thing I've
16:39
ever seen. Patrick.
16:44
Really, this is.
16:46
Why this organization will never win.
16:47
A Super Bowl in my life time.
16:50
That's great, That's
16:53
hilarious right so far, I'm ahad to translate because
16:55
I'm watching it going we have no idea, even
16:57
us, even the experts, because
17:00
either Kuiper is going to be mister genius
17:03
in five years from this draft,
17:05
or he's going to be the biggest idiot, because as soon as
17:07
the draft starts, they're.
17:08
Like, mel Cav's not your number one quarterback. Con
17:10
He's like, it is not, It's Shader Sanders and it's
17:12
like a nine minute American Idol highlight package
17:16
all about he's like number one, number
17:18
one. And so either he will look
17:20
like a genius for this or not. But
17:22
the way to win these
17:25
as a Kuiper
17:27
who's an analyst, us who just say stupid stuff,
17:29
we don't know anything, is just to be compelling
17:31
and interesting. It's not to be right. And I think a lot of times
17:34
people get those confused are like, well, you look how wrong
17:36
he was. The joke's kind
17:38
of on you because if they
17:40
were wrong, it was memorable by how
17:42
they were wrong, and they still
17:44
exist in whatever the zeitgeist of sports
17:46
media is. When they do the cow herd like how wrong
17:49
he is? At times the dude talks for three
17:51
hours a day, four hours day, five days
17:53
a week, just numbers wise, you're going to be
17:55
wrong a lot. But he's
17:57
very compelling. And even he said
17:59
that to me, it doesn't matter if you're right or wrong, like
18:02
just be interesting and so.
18:04
Iard said that too.
18:05
Yeah, and so
18:08
he wasn't. He was saying in a conversation, we were having
18:11
awesome yeah, and the time. Feel
18:13
about all the stuff that we do on this show or whatever. We don't.
18:15
We we're not experts anyway. We're people who just
18:17
love sports. But even on the big
18:19
show, like I say all kinds of stuff that's not right, and
18:22
sometimes I correct it. Sometimes I'm like, who cares?
18:24
Most time I try to correct it if it's something that needs to be corrected.
18:27
But yeah, we're wrong a lot. That would draft
18:30
reactions they were really wrong.
18:31
I mean that Josh Allen then we were all like what who
18:34
is Josh Allen?
18:34
Even after year one they were still like yeah.
18:38
So even in the NFL for a year, we were like, I don't know about
18:40
this. I do want
18:42
to play Michael Parsons. Because Michael
18:45
Parsons was live streaming like his podcast
18:47
Bleacher Report thing last night and they
18:50
had the camera on him when the Cowboys were drafting
18:52
their pick, and so Michael Parsons is
18:54
watching and they end up drafting Tyler
18:56
Booker from Bama the guard and so
18:59
baby bleacher which reports deleted the clip
19:01
which is hilarious.
19:02
Oh he said they say something bad.
19:04
No, no, but I was just playing
19:06
for you.
19:06
Go ahead, and the Dallas Cowboys
19:09
are selected. Tyler Booker, offensive
19:12
lineman from Alabama is
19:14
the official pick out
19:16
of the Crimson Tide.
19:21
I am excited about
19:26
hey, player, but we just laughing.
19:28
Hold on, hold on, I am excited about the pick. This
19:30
guy is a beast. He is a
19:32
beast. And I look at him and Tyler Smith
19:35
guard on guard with Zach Martin leaving.
19:37
This is one of them picks. I
19:40
mean, wow, he is a beast. He
19:42
is a beast. I just wanted to see that
19:44
on my side.
19:47
That's it. But this guy's a beast.
19:49
I'm not mad at the pick.
19:51
Because when they said, his face goes But
19:54
I believe him. I think he just wanted totally. He
19:56
wants some help. Yeah yeah, because he doesn't have
19:58
much help.
19:59
It that is him, not anymore.
20:00
But seriously, he was deflated. Yeah,
20:02
they were like, and he goes, no, no, no,
20:05
it's because I thought it was gonna be help.
20:07
He's just like Eddie another every other Cowboys fan.
20:09
Yes, you know, at first you're like and then you're
20:11
like, oh god, kay yeah, actually he's all right
20:14
the highlights and you're like, okay, got to convince yourself.
20:16
Yeah he wanted We
20:18
all want help, but that will there will be help.
20:20
That's help for the offense.
20:22
Yes, and that's coming.
20:23
We got more rounds and offense scores more points.
20:25
He gets more chances to rush the quarterback, more
20:28
sacks because they're always having a little more rest
20:30
to have the throw. Yeah. Yeah,
20:33
I felt that though. So we have Joe Flacco
20:35
coming up, pretty excited about that, really
20:37
good interview. Into a second, we can talk
20:39
about draft kings. I
20:42
gotta get back in the.
20:43
Next Oh yeah, reload. You're good, dude.
20:45
I never want to reload for the sake of losing.
20:49

22:09
Now it's time for our talk with Joe Flacco,
22:12
NFL quarterback, super Bowl forty seven m VP
22:15
playing with the Browns now. I bet
22:17
you he was watching last night going, don't picture her, don't picture
22:19
here.
22:21
He just seems so un phased in
22:23
every way.
22:25
Yeah, Flack just goes with.
22:28
Around.
22:29
But yeah, to your point, I'm just surprised he's already
22:31
signed with the team.
22:33
I mean I think he'll he'll start, Oh he should,
22:36
I mean, can you Pickett's probably
22:38
not. I don't know what. I don't know what they're
22:40
gonna do. If they're tank, they'll start Picket and Flacco
22:42
will be the backup because Picket gets hurt. If they
22:44
actually want to win some games, Yeah, Flacco
22:47
will probably be the starter. I
22:50
imagine that Browns will draft Shouldure
22:52
first overall. And I hope this doesn't
22:55
get played back in a compilation of like wrong things. Bobby
22:57
said, Yeah,
23:01
Joe signed with Cleveland this offseason, and we'll turn to
23:03
the Browns where he played in twenty twenty three when
23:05
he wont comeback Player of the Year. You know who he beat the
23:07
comeback player of the year. Yep, A guy
23:09
who died tomorrow.
23:10
That's right, Yeah, he died and
23:12
came back to life.
23:13
Yeah. He played for the Ravens for ten years, played
23:15
for the Broncos, Jets, and cults. Sense Joe
23:18
Flacco pretty pumped about this here he is. Hey,
23:20
Joe, appreciate the time. I wanted to start
23:22
talking about these cleats because, like,
23:25
I get hurt a lot, and I'm not even playing football, Like
23:27
I'll play pickleball and get hurt at this point. Like I used to
23:29
be like kind of an athlete. But so these
23:32
is it Kaddox cleats? Is that what it is?
23:35
Caddocks cleats? Yeah?
23:36
What do they do?
23:38
Well, Listen, the biggest thing they do is they kind of
23:40
blend performance and injury
23:43
prevention all in one cleat. It's
23:45
all the technology is all in the soul, all
23:47
in the actual cleat. It kind of moves around
23:49
a little bit and it just basically
23:51
like allows a little bit of release
23:54
when you're planting, so as opposed to
23:56
sometimes when you can kind of get caught and hyper
23:58
extend your limbs and kind
24:00
of you know, have too much traction. This allows
24:03
for a little bit of a release so that not as much
24:05
energy is kind of moving up through your body.
24:07
But it's really cool.
24:09
I feel really fortunate to be able to kind of be
24:11
a part of it and wear.
24:12
Them last year and kind of had that
24:14
whole experience.
24:15
So you feel like they helped, Like for real.
24:17
Listen, I think the biggest thing is is you
24:20
know that the technology is reducing
24:23
the risk now as
24:26
far as the athlete goes as far as I go, I
24:28
just went out there and wore them like any other pair of cleats.
24:30
I will say they're very comfortable. They
24:32
tend to break in very quickly and
24:35
be a little bit easier on all your joints. But
24:38
ultimately, for me, it's like
24:40
I'm wearing another pair of cleats that I've loved my whole
24:42
life.
24:43
Bro, I got to get some of these. We do a show too.
24:45
We travel around and like work out with colleges and
24:47
NFL teams like an interview, and
24:49
I end up I end up hurting something
24:51
every time because it's all I going to get,
24:53
which, By the way, they're doing a thing now. Catos
24:56
is partnering with NFL Alumni Health during this
24:58
week's draft to give away prepare
25:00
their cleats and you can go to NFL Alumnihealth
25:02
dot org or go to Katos dot
25:04
com c addix dot
25:06
com. My partner that I work with
25:09
a lot is Matt Castle, who played
25:11
in the league for a long time, and he talks about
25:13
once he started to be a
25:15
bit older and he had dealt with injuries that
25:18
the hardest part was not not getting
25:20
injured, it was bouncing
25:24
back because as you get older, it's harder to bounce
25:26
back at your stage
25:28
right now, is that the hardest
25:30
part is when something hurts, does it take longer to heal?
25:33
I think you got to make sure that you get to
25:35
the point where nothing
25:38
you minimize the amount of build up that
25:40
happens. Obviously throughout the course of a game, you're
25:43
gonna deal with acute injuries that you have
25:45
to try to heal from as quick as possible.
25:47
But I think for me, as I get a little bit older,
25:49
it's just that maintenance routine. It's getting
25:51
a good routine so that little things don't turn
25:53
into big things. And when I was younger,
25:57
you kind of run through those little things in a week.
25:59
And now I've turned forty, they kind
26:01
of build up, they don't go away, and before you know
26:03
it, you're hurting a lot more than you want to.
26:06
Does it hurt after every game or is there an
26:08
occasional game where you're like you look down, You're
26:10
like, I'm okay.
26:12
That's the beauty about playing quarterback is that, yes,
26:15
you do look down after some games and say, oh wow,
26:17
I came out of that one great. And you don't really deal
26:19
with anything. The other ten
26:21
eleven guys on the field, the other twenty one guys
26:24
in the field, when you're out there, they
26:26
are dealing with it week in and week out.
26:28
I would say that I have it easy, as you know,
26:31
as it comes to the NFL
26:33
standard.
26:34
Why are you still playing? You love it?
26:37
I better love it if I'm doing this. Yeah,
26:39
yeah, I listen. I
26:42
have one thing, maybe hopefully
26:45
a couple more than one thing, but one thing that I really
26:47
really enjoy doing, one thing that I feel
26:49
like I can really do at a high level, and
26:53
I've never really thought about not doing it. I've
26:55
been able to do it since I've been a kid,
26:57
and I kind of just want to keep that dream
26:59
alive. I still feel like I can do it at a high level
27:02
and have a lot of fun doing it. So
27:06
yeah, that's kind of why I still
27:08
do it. It's kind of a weird question to talk about,
27:11
but it's a lot of fun and
27:13
I do love it. I love being in that
27:15
locker room with all the players. I
27:18
love being in the huddle. That feeling
27:20
that you get before before game time. I
27:23
wouldn't say that I'm totally in love with that,
27:26
but when you don't have that for a few months, you
27:28
realize that you miss it.
27:29
It's just something that's pretty special.
27:31
Yeah, just eyeball testing you. You look
27:33
good, Like even with the Jets, you're
27:35
like man Flacco still got it, like when you had to play.
27:38
So if you weren't like telling us that you were forty,
27:40
or if the media wasn't all the time like Flaccos
27:42
thirty eight, Flahs thirty nine, I don't think
27:44
you like you. It's
27:47
almost like Adrian Peterson when he got hurt. Everybody
27:49
was then, oh wow, we can bounce back quicker or
27:51
ap did Brady's playing in
27:53
the forties the guys are playing in the forties a
27:56
little more, if it's technology of its health, if it's
27:58
education about you know what to do to their body. But
28:00
I feel like you don't play like I would think a forty
28:03
year old should play.
28:04
Like.
28:04
Do you feel like taking care of your body
28:07
is really paid off at this point in your career because of
28:09
that.
28:09
I do.
28:10
I don't know if I do anything special,
28:13
but I think I've been consistent through the
28:15
course of my career. I figured
28:17
out probably within the first three or four years
28:19
that I need to come up with a routine and make
28:23
it important to me to kind of stay in shape
28:25
and get stronger. And I think that the
28:27
fact that I've been able to stay consistent is
28:29
kind of what's allowed me to keep going. Obviously,
28:32
you have to get lucky along the way too. I've
28:34
dealt with a couple of little things here and there
28:36
where maybe I haven't felt one hundred percent,
28:39
but I think that routine has kind of allowed
28:41
me to get back to where I could feel good.
28:44
Is it weird to play for a new team and
28:46
you've done it a couple of times, But when you're a raven forever
28:48
and you go in the first time put on a different color and
28:50
you look in the mirror. Is that weird?
28:52
It was the.
28:53
First time I did it was definitely strange,
28:55
and I was a little bit nervous about it. I was kind
28:57
of felt like the new kid in class, and you
28:59
know, walking in to a locker room for the first time, and
29:01
who's the first person you're going to say hello to? Is it
29:03
going to be awkward? You know, kind of having all
29:05
those weird feelings that you don't know why
29:07
you're getting when you're when you're an adult.
29:09
But I think after I did it,
29:12
you kind of realize that there's a lot of similarities.
29:14
In every locker room.
29:15
We're all kind of working towards that common goal and we've
29:17
kind of been doing it our whole lives. So there's
29:19
a lot of similarities that you see from locker room
29:21
to locker room. And there's always great guys that
29:24
you connect with and can have a lot of fun
29:26
with.
29:26
So what about Stefanski? What is it
29:28
about him that brought you back and then
29:31
brought you back again?
29:32
I think Kevin's, you know, a
29:35
really good play caller, and I think his demeanor
29:37
in general is very good for running a
29:39
team. The way, he's kind of able
29:42
to, you know, stay himself and be
29:44
the same person throughout the year kind
29:46
of no matter what's going on.
29:47
I think he's been tested.
29:49
You know, he's had some success, and he's had some seasons
29:51
where they haven't won as many games
29:53
as they've wanted to. And I think
29:55
that that can really kind of sharpen
29:58
who you are as a person and make you come out better
30:00
on.
30:00
The other side. And I think that's what he's been able to do.
30:02
Can you give me a memory from when the lights
30:04
went out in the super Bowl? Because that was weird for us. I
30:07
can't imagine you're freaking playing in the
30:09
Super Bowl and it all goes down, Like
30:11
what are you guys even talking about when that happens?
30:13
And I remember sitting on the bench
30:16
and kind of the
30:18
lights go out and you kind of just look around,
30:20
like what the heck is going on? I
30:23
wish I had more memories of it. It's funny because
30:25
after the game, everybody kind of started expressing
30:27
to me what they thought, and some
30:29
people were scared. I mean a lot had a lot of friends
30:31
and family that were nervous as what
30:33
was going on. And thankfully for me, that
30:35
never really crossed my mind.
30:38
I kind of just took it for what it was,
30:40
sat on the ground, stretched out a little bit. You
30:42
know, you think it's going to be two or three minutes. You don't
30:44
realize it's going to be twenty or thirty
30:46
or however long it was. So I think if
30:50
I had to guess how my mindset
30:52
was, it was probably taking it like every two or three
30:54
minutes, thinking they were going to come back
30:56
on and we were going to get right back to it.
30:59
Playing at pitchurg In College
31:01
and then Delaware Like, to me, that's cold weather. Sounds
31:04
terrible, but you've
31:06
played in cold weather places in the NFL for the
31:08
most part too. Is that even a thing? Do
31:10
you even get cold? Or is that just normal?
31:13
There's definitely things about that that are
31:15
not ideal. I think
31:17
you just you put that big code
31:20
on, you sit on the heated bench, and you
31:22
deal with it for the five ten minutes
31:24
that you that you're not sitting on that bench.
31:26
But we got it. We got it pretty easy.
31:28
The fact that we got guys waiting for us on the sideline
31:30
to throw a big coat over us and sit on a
31:33
you know, one hundred degree.
31:34
Warming bench.
31:36
When you're out there playing, you're honestly not thinking
31:39
about it. It's like the first thirty seconds that you take
31:41
that code off that you're thinking what the hell am I
31:43
doing? Or pregame pregame warm
31:45
ups are actually probably more miserable than the game
31:47
because you're like, do I want to even go out there and warm up? Or
31:49
do I just want to kind of hang out in the locker room and say,
31:52
say, I'm good, I'll be ready
31:54
to go once the game starts.
31:55
And in warmups probably no adrenaline, right.
31:58
Yeah, exactly, you're not. You're just like,
32:00
I'm not playing the game. Why am I going to go out there and do
32:02
it to myself? And I don't have to, So
32:05
it's a little bit harder mental hurdle
32:07
to get a ticket out there for pregame.
32:09
At the height of your career or when you will say
32:11
that your arm was the healthiest it may even be now.
32:14
You ever just chunk a ball to see how far
32:16
you could throw a ball, You.
32:17
Know, I used to when I was in college, but
32:19
like when I was in late college
32:21
early part of my career in
32:23
the NFL, I was probably more interested
32:25
in seeing how far I could throw it and
32:28
doing some long casts these
32:30
days. I just kind of do it to keep my arm in
32:32
shape. I'm not necessarily super worried about
32:34
where I can throw the ball through the uprights from when
32:38
people ask me, I always used to say I can. Probably
32:40
I could throw it around seventy five yards. I
32:43
don't know, maybe give or take a few yards here and there.
32:45
So eighty eighty five.
32:47
I honestly, if I
32:49
could touch eighty, I would probably say eighty.
32:51
I don't think I've ever thrown a football eighty yards unless
32:54
I would unless I was down on the Jersey
32:56
shore on the beach with a forty mile
32:58
an hour wins, I wasn't throwing the ball eighty.
33:00
So that's a good point, because if I'm lying about driving
33:02
a golf ball, I never lie short. I
33:04
always or I always estimate a little long.
33:06
It's like, well, do you to Yeah, I'm about two sixty
33:09
five average, and really it's not that so I guess
33:11
right, Yeah, that's a good point. When did you
33:13
realize in your youth that you
33:15
had a really strong arm?
33:17
Oh?
33:18
I guess growing up on the schoolyard, just kind
33:20
of playing two hand touch, I could always
33:23
throw that little ball that you know, the little pee
33:25
wee ball that kind of everybody plays with. I think,
33:28
you know, we might have had a Minnesota Vikings or probably
33:30
a Philadelphia Eagles rubber football that we could
33:32
kind of I could throw the length of the schoolyard and nobody
33:34
else could really do that, so you kind of figure, all right,
33:37
I could throw the ball a little bit.
33:39
When these guys are getting ready for draft
33:42
day, draft night, if it's Night one or second
33:44
round or third night, like, what was your draft
33:47
night?
33:47
Like? So I was sitting
33:50
on my couch in my parents' house.
33:53
I really didn't want to let cameras
33:55
in because I was unsure about where I was going to be picked,
33:57
and just kind of wanted to be more private in general.
34:00
But obviously I got talked into, you
34:02
know, allowing him to come into the house. And I was just
34:04
kind of sitting on the couch and waiting to see
34:06
what happens. And we were all watching the draft, excited
34:09
and kind of eager to see what was going to
34:11
happen. But coming from Delaware,
34:13
I didn't know if I was going to be There was a lot of momentum
34:15
probably behind where.
34:16
I was going to be picked.
34:17
I felt like I was probably going to be picked
34:19
decently high. But I could have been a first
34:21
round pick. I could have been a third round pick. I had no
34:23
idea, So I was a little bit
34:26
I was excited, obviously, because
34:28
at that point I didn't really care where.
34:30
I was going to be picked.
34:31
I knew that I was going to be an NFL draft
34:33
pick, and I think that was the most exciting thing. But
34:36
yeah, there was probably a little bit of uncertainty in
34:38
my mind too, because you just don't know where you're going to go and
34:40
where you're going to spend the next you know, you plan
34:43
on spending the next fifteen years of your life probably
34:45
wherever you.
34:46
End up getting picked.
34:46
So it was, yeah,
34:49
definitely definitely a little bit of a mixed feeling
34:51
is about where that could be.
34:53
Who called you?
34:54
Ozzie called me.
34:56
Ozzie called me, and I think they were I
34:58
think they traded up with Houston, I want
35:00
to say. And he said, hey, Joe, we're
35:02
about to you know, we're about to trade up here with
35:05
Houston into the eighteenth pick and select
35:08
you to become a Baltimore Raven. And you
35:10
know, obviously, like the whole room that I was
35:12
sitting in kind of went nuts because they were you
35:14
know, they realized I was on the phone call and I was kind of giving
35:16
them a head nod or whatever I was doing to let
35:18
them know, like, hey, it's about to happen.
35:20
How much sleep do you try to get a night?
35:24
Right now?
35:24
Yeah, we're
35:27
going to pivot into health.
35:29
Man.
35:29
I got to tell you there
35:32
was a time where, like my
35:34
kids were younger, and we could actually enjoy
35:36
like three hours on the couch, be and my wife by
35:38
ourselves from like seven thirty to ten thirty
35:41
or eleven o'clock eleven thirty, whatever we wanted
35:43
to do.
35:43
You know, we could put those kids to bed.
35:45
But now my kids are getting older, they
35:47
complain about bedtime every night.
35:49
It's getting pushed, you know, further and further.
35:51
Back, And I'm usually knocked out
35:54
on the couch at nine o'clock and
35:56
then at ten fifteen I'm waking up with
35:58
my wife going back to bed.
36:00
Sleep until six thirty, six forty five
36:02
every day.
36:02
So is there you get to a
36:04
game, Because there are mornings if I'm either doing
36:06
the show or if i'm even if I'm on touring
36:08
doing stand up, my brain I
36:11
just have brain fog some days and if I sleep maybe
36:13
something I eight. You ever get to the game
36:15
day and you're like, man, like, I'm just not fully
36:17
there and you have to go all right, guys, my
36:19
brain's not clicking the right way and need you to help
36:21
me out a little bit.
36:22
Listen, there's times, Yeah, I don't know about
36:24
my brain, but your body definitely wakes up a little
36:26
bit tired sometimes, and listen, it's not ideal
36:29
for us. We're waking up even if most
36:31
of the time, even if you're
36:33
at home, you're waking up in a hotel.
36:36
You don't get to sleep in your own bed, and
36:38
definitely if you're on the road, And honestly,
36:40
I'm not great
36:42
at falling asleep
36:44
and sleeping well. In a hotel. I
36:47
usually can kind of turn my mind off and not worry
36:49
about anything, and I'm the same way
36:52
the night before the game. I'm not really thinking about
36:54
it. I feel like if I do have things on my
36:56
mind, I can actually relax and go to bed
36:58
and kind of put it out of my mind. But just
37:00
a night's sleep in a hotel, I've never quite
37:02
gotten used to it. So there's always probably a little
37:04
bit of that.
37:05
Three final questions that leads me to
37:07
that. So do you stay at home? Do you stay
37:09
in the same hotel room, in the same bed to at least have
37:11
some sort of consistency.
37:13
Man, I've been all over the place the last few years. I
37:15
have no idea.
37:16
That's a point I've been.
37:17
I think, typically, yes, you're you're in the same
37:19
room all.
37:20
Year, like in Baltimore, Let's same
37:22
room.
37:23
Saints, same room, same room.
37:25
Yeah, I want the same room, same bed, same channels. I want to
37:27
on Channel four when I get there, like an hotel. I
37:29
want to have some sort of consistency. What's
37:32
the goal of this season?
37:33
The goal of this season is to kind of become part
37:35
of the team first of all, and
37:37
then not you know, I obviously have some expectations
37:40
of my mind, but try not to worry about those things. Just
37:42
want to go out there and compete and hopefully
37:44
to be the guy that's on the field this year and helping
37:47
the team win some football games.
37:49
So my last question is the video
37:51
that went viral of you on the airplane when they call you and you're
37:53
putting your bags up in the overhead and it's like this Joe
37:55
Flacco, and that's kind of how everybody, Yeah,
37:57
what'd you think about that?
37:59
I guess I was surprised, but.
38:03
I think in this day and age, there's always the
38:06
chance at something like that's gonna happen. Obviously,
38:09
I'm on a flight to Cleveland in the middle
38:11
of the season, and on
38:14
the flight with people from Cleveland, so they're
38:16
probably thinking if they recognize
38:18
me, they're probably thinking, oh my god, what's he doing here?
38:20
Maybe they're looking to get him.
38:22
And I I think I was in the back of the plane,
38:24
so people probably thought that was funny and just kind
38:26
of random shot of me. It's it's
38:28
never the most flattering thing when you're
38:31
just kind of taking getting getting candid
38:33
shots taken of you in the
38:35
middle of a run, you know, in the middle of a walkway
38:37
on an airplane. But hey, I think it's all
38:39
it's all good. It kind of created some some
38:41
positive vibes and you know, got everybody
38:44
excited for whatever reason, and you know,
38:46
gotta love that.
38:47
Well, I'm rooting for you, man, I'm a fan. I've been a
38:49
fan. So congratulations and again,

40:13
That somebody asked me my favorite football players
40:15
of all time? And I was like, I don't know. I'm not eight.
40:17
That's tough.
40:18
That's tough, and I not disrespectfully.
40:20
I was like, I don't know my favorites would be ever,
40:23
So I made my list and I told Eddie
40:25
tamake his two. So do
40:27
you have ten through one of all time?
40:30
It is the easiest list, easiest
40:32
list ever made in my life.
40:33
I got to like four or five,
40:36
and then I had to start going, who do I even
40:38
like? Because I'm a favorite team.
40:40
Yeah. See that's where that's where it helps with me a lot.
40:42
All right, Number ten on your list?
40:44
Number ten? Okay, So the lowest
40:46
Joe Montana.
40:47
Should we start at one or ten?
40:48
I'd say one, because Joe Montana is like
40:51
kind of like I had to throw them down there, because
40:53
I cannot put them up any any more than that. So let's just go.
40:55
Let's go one.
40:55
Do you a favorite first? Okay, favorite player of all
40:58
time?
40:58
Emmitt Smith? Baby, I
41:00
mean, come on.
41:01
Did you get a picture of you and em I did?
41:04
Got yeah? Yeah, yeah, read give me a picture of
41:06
me in em it And you know the conversations that we
41:08
had, the fact that he said, like,
41:10
Edie's not a good athlete because I'd broken my arm.
41:12
That's pretty cool.
41:13
Yeah, he's nice because.
41:14
Somebody had asked, like, Edy, what happened to your arm? He's like, don't
41:16
ask him. He's just not an athlete. He's an idiot.
41:18
It's pretty cool. You got to meet your favorite, dude,
41:21
that's so free because I haven't got to meet my favorite.
41:23
And I'll tell you mine in a minute in real life. Yeah,
41:25
but favorite football players of all time? Ms Smith? Number
41:28
one, Number two.
41:28
Troy Aikman. All of favorite
41:30
Troy Aikman.
41:31
Now these are cowboys. Just
41:34
wait for the list. Okay,
41:38
quarterback Troy Aikman.
41:39
Yeah, number three.
41:40
Why Troy made just because he was a quarterback when they're winning.
41:42
Yeah, dude, Troyman brought me so much happiness
41:45
okay. Three Michael Lerman number
41:48
eighty eight, the King of number eighty
41:50
eight. He is the original O gen Well
41:52
maybe Drew Pearson was, but for.
41:54
As long as I remember, he's your number eighty,
41:56
he's my eighty eight okay.
41:57
And four DeMarcus where I
42:00
mean, did you ever meet de Marcus?
42:01
I did. I introduced him at the game right.
42:02
The Cowboys at the Cowboys game.
42:04
He's a monster and.
42:05
He's like, you have his number?
42:06
Right? Like, oh yeah? We text sometimes.
42:08
That's pretty cool.
42:09
So we have a relationship
42:11
because we had trauma
42:14
bonding. We did Dancing with the Stars together,
42:16
yeah, and then we would go train together
42:18
in the same room sometimes. And he was in my final dance.
42:20
Like you ask your friends if
42:23
sometimes you do, they'll be like, hey, you want to be in the final
42:25
dance? Sometimes people just want to show off their dance moves. I did,
42:27
and I just wanted to like get through it, and so I asked
42:29
him Mark, I said, hey, do you want to be in my final dance? And he
42:31
was like yeah, and he lifted me above his head and the dance. He's
42:33
awesome, like great guy, but a monster,
42:36
him barreling down on you as another human. You
42:39
see that guy, that big, that fast,
42:42
hitting you that hard on.
42:43
The football field.
42:44
Yeah, wow, crazy.
42:46
It's funny you say that because the
42:48
yeah, the on the dance when the stars
42:50
funny. He picked you up. But then also
42:53
when you saw him in person, he hugged
42:55
you and picked you up. So he's kind of that
42:57
thing like, which is awesome because like you're my best friend.
43:00
And then I love DeMarcus Ware and he came like
43:02
Bobby Boss and he picked you up. I'm like, dude,
43:04
that is so freaking cool. Bobby knows him like that.
43:06
He's so lovable, like such a wonderful
43:08
guy. I wonder did you root for him when he went to the Broncos
43:11
to win?
43:11
Yeah, any anybody that was good to
43:14
the Cowboys, I root for him anywhere they go.
43:16
Charles Haley, like, you know, same
43:18
deal. Root for him other teams.
43:21
Yeah, I think that's a good one to there
43:23
are sometimes I don't root for people to switch teams,
43:25
but.
43:25
It depends how they left. Yeah right, Yeah.
43:28
Next, Tony dor Set
43:31
old school. I mean he when I was a child,
43:34
he was the running back. He was awesome.
43:36
Five that's the number five,
43:39
Yeah, and then number six herschel
43:41
herschel Walker, but mainly because
43:44
he because of herschel Walker in
43:46
him being traded to the Minnesota Vikings.
43:49
All that, dude, we got all those picks and
43:51
we got Troy Aigman, we got Michael Lorvan,
43:53
we got Emmitt Smith, and we won three Super Bowls out of
43:55
that.
43:55
So your favorite player is a trade.
43:57
Yeah, the value of your favorite.
43:59
Player totally because he was awesome
44:01
in himself as a player, but
44:03
when he left and got traded, it
44:05
was it changed everything for Dallas Cowboys fans.
44:09
But it's not herschel Walker as
44:11
the player. He was still awesome though, hershel Walker,
44:13
I agree he was awesome.
44:14
So yeah, he's one of my favorite players.
44:16
Fair enough. I'll not argue there were no rules act.
44:19
Ceed Lamb the next number eighty eight, Well
44:21
skipping does Bryant ce d Lamb?
44:24
When he got drafted. You talk about like
44:26
moments when someone got drafted and you're really
44:28
excited about it. That was it.
44:31
Yeah, from Oklahoma, Oklahoma.
44:33
And I'll never forget it. When the Cowboys, because I
44:35
mean Cowboys notoriously don't ever
44:37
draft big names for some reason. It's always
44:39
like okay, cool, I guess we didn't need that lineman. Don't
44:42
really know who he is, but we'll take him.
44:44
You see where he spends a million bucks a year on the body. That's
44:46
where he came out with, oh, a million dollars. I think
44:48
it's like fifty thousand dollars every two weeks or something.
44:51
And he's like, well, when you
44:53
do you have a red light therapy.
44:55
He does the red light therapy, sauna, bed,
44:57
whatever the thing is. He has a sauna,
45:00
has does body work
45:02
people. He's like, it's about million bucks a year, but it's
45:04
like an investment so he can continue to make the millions
45:06
of dollars. Lebron was the one, the first famous one
45:08
that would talk about how much he's spent to
45:11
keep himself healthy. But Ceedeelam
45:13
wasn't like flexing on it. Somebody had asked him. But he's like, I spent
45:15
on a million bucks a year and Lebron's still playing.
45:18
Yeah, and he's forty forty eight. It's not just
45:20
playing. He'll probably be second team All
45:22
NBA. And that's not All Star team,
45:24
all start team's voting. And sometimes weird, I was get into that
45:26
big sniff on the microphone there.
45:28
Yep.
45:30
The fact that Lebron's forty and his second
45:32
team all NBA is wildretty
45:34
amazing. Okay, next up eight, number
45:37
eight, Michael Parsons
45:39
all time. I mean, so it's nine
45:41
and a forty nine er. He
45:43
did nine cowboys in a forty nine. That's funny.
45:45
No, No, I got one more. I think I think Michael Parson's
45:47
eight.
45:48
I know, yeah, but I'm saying the next one is probably a cowboy and it's probably
45:50
nine.
45:50
And know that.
45:51
Okay, Who's nine?
45:52
Tony Romo baby, Okay, number nine,
45:54
Tony Romo, so
45:57
number nine and then Jo Romo's lower
46:00
yeah higher, Yeah, man, there are a lot of pain
46:02
in the Romo years.
46:03
I thought Quincy Carter would make it.
46:08
John KIDTNA.
46:09
Quincy Carter was drafted for Georgia. He was he
46:11
was up next guy, That's what we thought. He
46:13
yeah, yeah, did you do
46:15
a list?
46:16
No?
46:16
Okay, I have my top ten here.
46:19
Number one. I have not met him in person,
46:22
only on zoom. Do you know who my favorite NFL
46:25
player is? Yeah, Boomers Bloomers because
46:27
he was a left handed quarterback, and since
46:30
I didn't have a team, I kind of adopted the Bengals
46:32
because he had a left handed quarterback and their
46:34
helmets were cool. That's literally it.
46:36
The helmets are awesome. Yeah, still are awesome, by the
46:38
way, But you're not a Bengals fan. No,
46:41
don't have left an quarterback anymore. It don't.
46:44
Number two Darren McFadden
46:47
Arkansas playing played
46:50
you know, Raiders and Cowboys, and that was strictly
46:52
I rolled with him that. My personal connection
46:54
is from Arkansas to in the NFL. I
46:56
think had he been on better teams, he'd
47:00
had a much better,
47:03
highly productive career because he was a really
47:05
good he had bad teams.
47:06
Did you see him play as a razorback?
47:08
Yeah, yeah, a couple of times. Number
47:11
three Steve Young.
47:13
Did that change because you did meet him?
47:15
No left handed quarterback, of
47:17
course, left handed quarterback in those years when
47:19
I had to find because I was playing quarterback
47:21
when I was young young mostly
47:24
just because I was smart. It wasn't even anything else, Like I just
47:26
knew what play, like here's the play
47:28
to call. I could run the play, and so when you're that age,
47:30
that's really it's just knowing out at what play, where
47:33
to hand the ball right. But Steve
47:35
Young is left hand quarterback. I thought it was so cool there weren't many,
47:37
so Steve Young was number three. I mean, if
47:39
I like in real life,
47:41
he'd be up there probably one after like after yeah
47:44
yeah, but I'm weighing in all time, like from
47:47
childhood and now everything. Number fourth,
47:49
Peyton Manning. I
47:51
loved Peyton Manning. I just loved the Peyton
47:53
Manning went out and ran the whole offense, and his offensive
47:56
coordinator was like his peer. It wasn't like
47:58
the guy that was giving him everything. It was like his peer.
48:00
He worked alongside, but he ran the show. He
48:03
was a freaking sheriff in that locker room. On the field,
48:05
I think Peyton Manning if you were if
48:07
there weren't championships, I think Peytonnnings probably
48:10
the greatest quarterback ever. But
48:12
because there are championships, Tom Brady is and
48:14
a vacuum thoughing. It's like you have one quarterback
48:17
and you need quarterback to throw for a bunch of yards,
48:19
to read deefenses to. It's Peyton Manning.
48:21
What era of Peyton Manning is your favorite?
48:24
Not the Bronco era because his neck was hurt. Yeah, Colts,
48:27
he did win. He was a super Bowl champion
48:29
there, yeah yeah, but not year one. He think it to eighteen
48:31
interceptions. Yeah, like a rookie
48:33
record for it. Picks Peyton mannings number
48:36
four. Dean Sanders is at five.
48:37
Yes.
48:38
I loved Dion as a player too because
48:41
he played both ways enough.
48:44
He didn't play a lot of wide receiver, but he did some,
48:46
so there was always the is he gonna
48:48
play wide receiver? But he did return kick
48:51
some punts, of course, and that was awesome. So
48:53
shutdown corner, which I didn't
48:55
really appreciate till later because they didn't
48:58
show the shutdown corner on television, shutting
49:00
down because they don't really it's not that wide.
49:02
They don't really put someone on. That's just keeping the ball
49:04
from being thrown there because the camera follows the ball. But
49:07
he was high profile. He wore the glasses,
49:09
the chains, and.
49:10
Then he did his little hop into the end zone.
49:12
Yes, he wasn't on yours, Eddie.
49:14
I thought about putting him on there, but you know,
49:16
I thought I gave DeMarcus Whare that that's fun.
49:19
Wait, so that doesn't make sense. You put to Marx for
49:21
all like five? Well here, but here's the Dean was gonna
49:23
be five or nothing. Dion
49:25
wasn't a cowboy for a long time. He shared
49:27
a lot of time with with a lot of other teams, So that's kind
49:29
of why I didn't put I think of him in my close
49:32
my eyes. I think I was a cowboy.
49:34
Really, yeah,
49:36
I do too.
49:36
Well.
49:36
He didn't play for Atlanta Hawks, sorry
49:39
Atlanta Falcons. Yeah, they're both birds in your eyes,
49:41
dude, just playing tricks on you. They're both birds.
49:44
I think of Deon Sanders football,
49:46
cowboys baseball breaks,
49:49
even though that was the same time he's played with Atlantic
49:51
because he could do both. But Deon
49:54
Sanders at number five, at
49:56
number six, Tom Brady nice.
50:00
I admire consistency
50:03
first of all. I admire
50:05
consistency and
50:08
greatness at the same time. Most
50:10
of all, it's so hard to be consistent,
50:14
impossible to be consistently great.
50:17
Now, that doesn't mean every year, but
50:20
dude won seven freaking Super Bowls. He's pretty consistent
50:22
that he was consistently in
50:24
the mix to be in the
50:27
mix to win a title every year. So
50:30
as I'm watching him, I root it for Peyton Manning
50:32
every time they played each other. But as
50:35
I've gotten older in
50:37
the light latter years of Tom Brady being
50:40
an adult and just seeing how consistent, how
50:43
thorough he was with the things
50:45
that weren't even football, the eating, the training,
50:48
developing his own system for him the flight.
50:51
Got to admire that consistency is currency
50:54
to me in every part of my life. And so Tom
50:56
Brady comes to at number six for that. It's
50:58
not even that I'm a fan. I like the Patriots
51:00
too when they were winning, not that I was a Patriots
51:03
fan, but I just admired how they consistently
51:05
cheated.
51:06
Yeah they did.
51:07
I think you're a different way. No one consistently
51:10
won.
51:11
Yeah, No, I I
51:13
do like it.
51:14
And they were always in the mix to be in the mix even
51:16
when they weren't, even when Brady goes down and Castle
51:18
goes in. Yeah, they didn't
51:20
make the playoffs, but it was the very last game of the season,
51:22
after they had already played, when they realized they didn't
51:24
make the playoffs, they had won eleven game. So
51:28
Tom Brady at number six. Our
51:31
lists are so different again because I don't have a team. Yeah,
51:33
and minor for like very personal, like human
51:36
like the two left handed quarterbacks, the
51:38
Arkansas guy, and so far a lot
51:40
of quarterbacks, mostly quarterbacks. Two
51:43
gets shown the most, Patrick
51:45
Mahomes at seven and I could put that
51:47
back on the Brady. That's the junior
51:49
varsity Brady version of that. And I like Patrick
51:51
Mahomes two because his little belly, Yeah,
51:54
now he looks like it.
51:56
Now.
51:56
He looks like a warrior. I said this
51:58
last year when he lost, like you didn'tiss him off. He's
52:00
going to train this offseason and be physically
52:03
better than he's ever been. If you've seen pictures
52:05
of him, have you, No, I don't google
52:08
that. Oh my god, he
52:11
looks like a soldier really, yeah,
52:14
you know with.
52:14
Their uniforms on now, with their rib pad
52:16
thing you know, around their other or other kind
52:19
of like midsection kind of makes them all look a little.
52:21
It does, because that thing pokes out.
52:23
A little bit.
52:23
But that's more than others, I feel like for sure.
52:25
But if you look at Patrick Mahomes now and you see
52:27
like his it's not even camp time,
52:29
but it's just off season workouts, you
52:32
can tell physically
52:34
he's been motivated to be physical. Pretty
52:37
wild. I love my homes Ikey would's
52:40
eight oh other Bengal in
52:42
my bank, in my Bengal days. I
52:44
like that he would dance when he's score touchdown, the shuffle that's
52:47
all it was about. Do you remember those are
52:49
commercials? Like I don't know the last question, ye'd
52:52
like a Geico commercial or something. I don't remember.
52:53
But he's buying meat.
52:54
Yeah, he would that guy.
52:56
Yeah, he like drops a turkey or something, does something
52:58
like that.
52:59
So, and that's only because when I like the Bengals,
53:01
he was the running back that danced and I liked that.
53:03
That's cool, dude.
53:04
And they used to wear these shoulder pads that were so big.
53:07
He looked like a monster coming
53:09
at you as.
53:10
A running back.
53:10
Yeah.
53:11
Oh just wait for my number ten though, at number
53:13
nine, John Elway. And here's why he
53:17
won at the end finally, and
53:21
I think that's pretty cool. He
53:23
hung in there and got himself
53:26
a couple he went to yeah, back
53:28
to back, yeah, at the very end, right, and then he walked
53:30
out. He was like he's like I'm done. Like
53:33
he was the guy I remember he too, maybe
53:36
the first player that was drafted was like, I don't want to go play for
53:38
that team. I'll go play for the Yankees and baseball. He
53:40
was that kind of athlete who who was the Broncos he got
53:43
drafted by well that's he didn't get drafted
53:45
by the Broncosay, so they ended.
53:46
Up bolt Maybe dang,
53:49
that's balls.
53:49
Maybe feels like it's the cults.
53:53
I think that would was still Baltimore
53:55
and.
53:55
He was saying, you can draft me, but I'm going
53:57
to go play baseball if you do. And
54:00
that later happened with Eli Manning and the Chargers when they
54:02
drafted the Eli Manning.
54:04
Uh so, Yeah, it was a.
54:05
Colts Baltimore colts Man.
54:07
That quarterback class of like you know, Drew John
54:10
Elway and Dan Marino and eighty three
54:12
Joe Montana like crazy.
54:14
And at number ten Mike all Stott,
54:17
nice big shoulder pads, huge
54:19
older pads, and a white guy
54:22
who was a running back and you
54:24
didn't see many white guys are running backs. You're like, that looks
54:26
weird. Yep, You're like, he can't
54:28
be that fast, but he just ran through people.
54:30
He was cool.
54:31
Yeah, a white guy running back still looks funny.
54:33
I'm like, I'm like, he hain'te that good, even
54:35
even McCaffrey.
54:36
Yeah, well McCaffrey, but even
54:39
Arizona State. Oh yeah, yeah, sattaboo
54:42
skataboo. I'm like, I wouldn't draft
54:44
him. He ain't that good. He's white. I hold that he gets
54:46
people. I hope that he gets them running back to if they're white, well they
54:48
get part, get part, Yeah, Toby, Toby
54:51
like Minnesota to you.
54:52
Yeah yeah, yeah uh so.
54:54
And also Peyton Hillis who
54:57
was on the Mountain, who was on the cover of Madden but had
54:59
like two really good years like won me
55:01
a Fantasy league or two. Never
55:03
forget it, and I would never.
55:05
I thought it was awesome.
55:06
Thought that was awesome. So that's fun.
55:08
Who's your favorite of all time?
55:09
Kevin? Oh, come on, nah,
55:13
I.
55:13
Know you think probably Tom Brady the problem that's
55:15
too easy though, Like, honestly,
55:17
my favorite football player of all time is Randy Moss.
55:21
I love Randy Moss.
55:22
And when he came to the Patriots, I was so happy because
55:24
as a kid watching him, he was like I remember
55:26
being in the yard and be like, oh, you just got Moss and
55:28
I try to make a catch over somebody.
55:30
So Randy Moss was my favorite football player
55:32
of all time.
55:32
I mean, my kids still say you got
55:35
Moss because it's now a thing that they do
55:37
on Sports Center.
55:38
Yeah, but it's great because I mean I feel
55:40
like it'll last forever because My
55:43
kids have no idea who Randy Moss is, have
55:45
no idea what he did, who he played for. But
55:47
whenever they get Moss, they're like, oh you got
55:50
Moss.
55:51
Yeah, I think even if you don't
55:53
know Randy Moss existed, that has now been turned into
55:55
what that. It's like, Yeah, you can't shoot a paperwad
55:57
to the trash can without yelling, Oh, even
56:01
if you don't know, I think
56:03
if I shoot at the trash can, I just y'all,
56:05
Kobe, I want to play a club for you here. So
56:10
NBA guard I used to play. Jeremy Lamb was
56:12
on this podcast called Run Your Race. This is
56:14
so interesting and so
56:18
Kevin Martin played for the thunder Kings.
56:23
And what I think is so interesting about him is
56:25
that I didn't know this un till I watched it.
56:27
He kind of was really good,
56:29
but he didn't want to be too good. And
56:32
then I'm like, well, why is it gonna be too good? Listen to this club
56:34
again. This is Jeremy Lamb talking about Kevin
56:36
Martin.
56:37
Back in the day, I got traded with what's the name.
56:40
Kevin Martin says like the second
56:42
quarter and say he got like nineteen
56:45
points he'll look up and be like, I
56:47
got too many points. I'm sitting there like,
56:49
what what do you mean? You got too many points? He like,
56:51
I got too many points. If I keep
56:54
scoring, then they
56:56
gonna make me.
56:57
An All Star.
56:57
I want my time to myself.
57:00
Hmm.
57:00
I'm sitting there like what.
57:02
Yeah, because when you become the main guy, you got a lot of
57:04
obligations. He didn't want
57:06
to go off to do All Star Weekend a week
57:09
He's like and then they talked because he played
57:11
with like Durant on that okay Harden,
57:14
Yeah, and he he would be scoring
57:16
a lot. It's like, ah, it's
57:18
so unheard of. Yeah,
57:21
crazy wild. It feels like in
57:23
other elements. The guy that played Lincoln Mike, the
57:25
method actor Daniel d Lewis. Yeah, Like dude
57:27
just goes and lives like small
57:30
but even as not even as an actor.
57:33
He just like lives in some small shock all
57:35
the time, like get to you know, he doesn't
57:37
want to be so famous and you can't call him by his real
57:40
name.
57:40
You have to call him Abraham Lincoln.
57:41
Whenever he's method acting. But he doesn't want
57:43
to be so famous, so he doesn't do a lot of massive
57:46
thing he just really do his he's
57:48
so good has his career. He doesn't
57:50
want to be so famous that he if it gets in
57:52
the way of his career or he can't live a life
57:55
because of his career the way he likes
57:57
to live it. Same thing here, Kevin
58:00
Martin, you know, want to.
58:01
Be that good.
58:02
He was that good, but he didn't want
58:04
to be so good that he would then have to lose his time for
58:06
All Star Weekend, would have to be the face of the franchise,
58:08
more photo shoots more so He's like, I'm just gonna be so
58:11
good that gets me through it. I'm
58:13
still considered a big part
58:15
of the team, gonna have a job, gonna
58:18
get paid well. But I don't want to be that good.
58:20
I respect that you got I respect
58:22
it. I'm not that No. No, I'd
58:24
rather have the All Star label them
58:27
all the money, and I want to go do All Star Weekend. But
58:29
even the baseball players that we know, they
58:31
would be like, man, all Star game sucks.
58:34
It's fun the first time because you're like wow, but
58:36
you just your body hurts, not the time
58:38
off. You just kind of don't want to have to
58:40
go do it, but you don't play lesser, so you don't
58:43
have to do it. But it's kind of blown away by that. That's
58:45
really that's pretty funny. Does
58:50
your kids watch any of the draft?
58:51
Adding? It's awesome, dude. I'm so proud
58:53
of my kids because I feel like I'm raising them
58:55
right. So as they watched the draft,
58:58
know, well, so my eleven year old he loves the like
59:00
he's the biggest Cowboys fan.
59:02
He's just like me.
59:03
And he had to go to a camp like a school camp, and
59:06
so he's like, Dad, please record the draft
59:08
for me. I'm gonna miss it. And they're like an hour away
59:11
from town or whatever. Well, last night I
59:13
got a text from one of the dads. He said,
59:15
dude, your son's a baller. He
59:17
said, yeah, he's like, your son's
59:19
a baller. I'm like, what did he do? Is he in
59:22
trouble? He's like no, he got the whole
59:24
camp to sign off on watching the
59:26
draft. So we're all here watching the
59:28
draft. My man,
59:31
like all the camp leaders are just like all right,
59:33
we put it on TV.
59:35
Most proud dad moment is his son getting other
59:37
kids to watch the draft.
59:38
I got a little tear, like that's my boy? Was
59:41
it for the Cowboys or was it just
59:43
for the NFL. Is he a Cowboys kid? He's a Cowboys
59:45
kid. But he wanted to watch the whole draft. He loves the first
59:47
round of the draft, every single pick.
59:50
First round's fun, it was entertaining. I will
59:52
not be dedicated to watching the rest.
59:54
I will check in with the rest. I'll probably
59:57
watch the first few picks of the second round. The
59:59
second round'll be fine because of all the quarterbacks
1:00:01
and running backs, like there's a we're about to have a big quarterback,
1:00:03
big running back run. Yeah,
1:00:06
there are no more linemen that Every
1:00:08
line was drafted. Every lineman was drafted.
1:00:11
Thank you, guys. I hope you have a great weekend.
