around the NFL podcast. My name is Dan Hansis and I am joined by a room filled with heroes. Colleen Fox, Chris Wessling, and Greg Rosethal. What's up, people? Hey, Dan. I have many names. Connie Fox. Colleen Fox.

Connie Wolfe. Connie Wolfe. It's confusing. That's how I got the nickname in the first place. I get it. You are not even close to the number of nicknames that the man to my right has. Greg Rosenthal is the man of a million nicknames. We just found out a new one.

Well, that's not a thing. This is exciting. Are we allowed to say it? That's up to you guys. That's not a nickname. What are my other nicknames, though? Well, a lot of people call you Rosie. We never really have.

I like it. I call you Rosie. College a lot of people did. Pepper spray, of course. 60% G. Yeah, that's on the back of my softball jersey. Also my rap name. Right.

And I also, I've shortened that on the field to 60 cent. And now we learn this one. one was courtesy of your daughter, I believe? Well, just out with it, Greg. Well, you know, if you're comfortable, this is another nickname. The song you sing while you're shaving. This is terrible. Daddy bubbles.

Daddy bubbles. How does the song go? You're not getting that from me. Greg sings a song while shaving daddy bubbles. I can't wait to see your kids and I'm going to ask them how it goes. Oh, Ellis will know all the words. I can't wait until the next high leverage shield situation when Greg's at the plate. second and third, two outs down and run in the seventh inning.

I was like, come on, Daddy Bowels! Daddy Bowles! It's adorable, Greg. Colleen, thank you so much for sitting in for Mark Sessler, who is on a jaunt through the Colorado region, or is it specifically just Denver? I'm never sure. I've only seen texts from Denver.

Okay. So Mark's on vacation, so he's enjoying some off time. Colleen, nice enough to join us for the Monday edition of the Around the NFL podcast. A tremendous show that I'm very excited about. We had an extended pre-production meeting. One of those that just go on forever. We couldn't figure out what we wanted to do.

It was more like a hangout session. It was a session. Colleen was on it at one point on the conference call. Many conference calls. Yeah. Could be because the first 40 minutes of the session did not involve the podcast at all. That's true. That happens.

Which does happen from time to time. But finally, we did come down on a great idea, bringing back a game show that not only is it something that we all enjoy. I shouldn't say we all. Greg doesn't really like it, which makes it even better. It's better, yeah. It's on Greg's list of things to kill. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about, bitch.

The Wheel of Destiny. No one knew what you were talking about. This entire room couldn't even remember the show. Nobody knew. what it was called or what happened to it. And I was like, oh, was this some game we played, you know, three years ago, 2014? No, it was three months ago and no one had any recollection. So let's not pretend it was some legendary moment.

Well, first of all, it was four months ago. The only thing that anybody could remember about the game is that Greg hated it. Yeah. And then we went back to remember the structure of said game. I didn't even. And Greg made about seven highly critical comments of the game while it was going on. And now it's back. And we're all very excited.

And you'll like it too, I think, Greg, deep down. Yeah, now I have to play some role that I don't like it. Just be yourself. Be yourself. That will take care of it. Just be Daddy Bubbles. Yeah, so we'll play the Wheel of Destiny. And before that, we're going to do the news.

And I have a big, big, big, big announcement to make. And this is not my original reporting. So it's not going to go under the AT& Insider banner. But it is breaking news. So let's break it out. This is the last week On the Around the NFL podcast For someone in this room

More accurately someone behind the glass Sidney Carlson What? I didn't even know that No Guys, yeah, it is So it's kind of a melancholy type type week. Why don't we all go on strike out front?

Well, it's a good situation for Cid, a Mount Rushmore member who's heading back home. The prodigal daughter is returning home to Utah and we're happy for her, but she only has the shows this week, and then it's back into the car and off to Utah. And we're sad to see you go, but very excited for what comes

next. Yeah, thanks. I am sad to go excited for, you know, what's ahead, but I'm going to miss you guys a lot. Wow. Yeah, I mean, we almost could make the Mount Rushmore just four different pictures of Sydney. I mean, you can make that case. I'm not going to argue against that. Or just make her crazy horse. Or one of those, you remember like the Saddam Hussein statue that was torn down?

That seems accurate, yeah. What if we made just a Sydney statue, only we don't tear it down, just the statue? I could have referenced an infinite number of statues that haven't been torn down. But yes, a Sydney statue. That's what she's been, how important she's been to the show. So, yeah, we're sad to see you go.

Sid, we got a couple of shows left before you're gone. And then we're going to have to figure out. Yeah, let's make this week a celebration. It's not going to be all focused on railing against the shadowy league figures who totally botched this situation. Instead, we're going to enjoy the time left that we have with you. I think that there should be a segment dedicated. to her and named after her

just for all of her great work. I thought you were going to say, that's a great idea. I thought you were going to say dedicating a segment to all the people that botched not keeping Sydney in the building. Well, that too. Anyway.

We wouldn't be able to air that, though. All right, Sydney. For one of the last times ever, let's do some news. You keep your dirty mitts off of Colleen Wolf. That sounds like Shaq's Dan Hanses' impression. That's exactly.

exactly what it was. Am I totally comfortable with the idea that both Connie Fox and John Gonzalez who? John Ronald Gonzalez, born March 12th, 1977 is an American sports writer who's married NFL media broadcaster Colleen Wolfe, John, who's a Pisces resides in Los Angeles with his wife and two dogs. Is going on the Damashik show? Am I totally

comfortable with it? I'll be honest, no. But you've never invited him on this show. Well, it's just, it's a, you know, it's a space issue with two people. We usually have, is what it is? A space issue? It's like, we could have both of you on, but then it's like, okay, one of us to sit out a show. I guess the dynamic works nicer for. We can have John on without calling.

Right. Yeah, I guess we could do that. You could do. I give you permission to do that. Okay. Yeah. Did you have fun on check show? It was fun.

More fun than when you're on our show? This seems like a trap. There's no right answer there. Let's do some news. Mike Zimmer has some eye problems. He has had some eye problems for several months now, but the team announced a short recovery break coming up for Zimmer, who had his eighth eye surgery recently, according to the club.

This is an issue that first cropped up in the back of his right eye. In late October 2016, he's had multiple corrective procedures since he even missed the game, if you recall, in December against the Cowboys. And Rick Spielman wrote in a statement that Zimmer will be taking time away from the team to dedicate to recovering from eye surgery and restoring his health. We all agree Mike's health is the priority and we believe rest and recovery are in the best interest for the long term. We anticipate Mike back on the field in a few weeks.

Doesn't sound like a pleasant thing, Colleen, one eyeball, the patch on the eye, never a good look. You know, let's move past this, Mike Zimmer. Well, I mean, I think that he would like to do that. But I know if everybody out there who's had eye issues, it's the worst. everybody's laughing. I'm just expressing disbelief that this is the lead item of our needs.

You're not happy with it, huh? As you rub your eyes. I was more, I don't know what Wes is like. I was more laughing. Dan's in patience with Mike Zimmer. Let's move past this, Mike Zimmer. Yeah, I was more laughing at Dan feeling a need for a hot take at the end of it.

I got to come up with something to spice this out. Oh, what are we doing here? How did this happen? You could have put it lower in the news. The order does this. Well, I think it's not going to affect anything with the team there. And we wish him the best of luck. Hopefully this is the last surgery you'll have to have on his eye.

And eye issues are very annoying. So good luck, Mike Zimmer. I mean, there's not much to say, but it is eight eye surgeries. That's at a, you would think that's a, it's getting to a point. That's not you didn't just make a point. I already said it was eight. I'm just saying it's getting to a point that, I don't know. And we're off.

It's a problem. I mean, it's like... What are you just saying you should give up and go with a patch and just move forward? I don't know. You feel for him, but it's significantly like affecting his life and his ability to do his job. Dan, do you have glasses? I don't. So you have perfect eyes.

I do. I have perfect vision. Also one nicest eyes in my high school in 1998, so... Wow. Eat it, Mike Zimmer. That was a big moment for you, apparently. Whoa. Very Mike Zimmer's eye in a big spot.

You're a monster. It started in 98. A long time ago. Time is moving on. And let's move on to Dorel Revis. Get well, Mike. Yeah, honestly, though, get well, Mike. That does sound unpleasant.

That's the worst when they dilate your pupils. I know that surgery is much worse than dilating your pupils, but I'm just saying from a very basic level of any eye procedures, they suck. We have really handled us with deft. We're classy. Derell Revis does not have to worry about a possible suspension stemming from his dismissed felony assault case and NFL spokesman confirmed that Revis won't face league discipline

following the incident that occurred in Pittsburgh in February a brawl outside a bar late night. ESPN first reported this news. And Greg, now that this is out of the way, I guess this helps his value on some level to other teams that they don't have to worry about any type of suspension, but you still come down on the side of it probably isn't. going to matter in terms of him getting a job, right?

No, I don't think he's going to be in the NFL this year because he's shown interest in wanting to play again, but the NFL teams have not shown any interest in him. Rich Semenia, V.S.B. and New York reported today there's no market for him because of last year's significant decline and whispers about his commitment. Streets are talking out there, and I think the only chance he'd have to come back in the league is say, okay, I'm down to compete for a number three, cornerback job, if that's what it takes for a million and a half dollars with some

incentives, which, as we've talked about before, wouldn't be him playing for free since he's going to make $6 million regardless of whether he plays or not. And I think when given those sort of options, I think then he'll make the decision that it's not worth it. I'm just picturing a, he's got a reputation as a mercenary, picturing like a cartoon cowboy, a gun for hire, who's all slobantly and kind of drunk. half the time, and he's got a blasé attitude about who he knocks off? Like, who's going to hire a gun for hire who's got nothing left in the barrel

and doesn't really have a passion for the gun fighting anymore? That's what I'm saying. So, Dan, didn't you bring this up on our network hit that his pride, the same thing that might get in the way of him, if teams want to pay him like nothing, his pride, can he really just walk away at this point after having the year he had last year? Yeah, that's the only thing is that last year. year was an abomination, both physically in the way he played and he reported the camp heavier and then played slow and then bailed on trying to make tackles and spoke out to

the press and said things that did not help the team. Everything that I knew as a jet fan about Dorel Rivas did not connect with that guy last year. But everything before that, this was a guy that was famous for his tape study and how much he prepared and how much he cared and how much pride he had and being the best cornerback in the league. If maybe he's got the eye of the tiger back, he can play better than last year. But he might have just screwed himself from having a chance to redefine his legacy in the end

because of how bad he was. I could see that happening. We should put some sandwiches on this. We've got a battle of instincts going on between Greg's news watching instincts and Dan's Revis watching instinct battle. Instinct off right now. All right.

I'll do a sandwich out there. We'll put a sandwich on that. That he'll play again. That'll play this year. Yeah, he has to play one, at least one game in the 2017 season. Start or playing? Playing. Do you go with that?

I'll do that. I'm good with that. I kind of want it to end, though, week one. I don't want this dragging on it. Because if he doesn't, if he hasn't gotten a job by week one, that proves my point. No. No, I think, I disagree. Because I could see.

Let's drag it out. You're right. It'd be like a mid-October thing, like Frini signing with the Cardinals or something. Come in, save the day. Yeah. Come on, you still with it? I hope this goes better than the sandwich West put on the field versus the cabs a few weeks ago with me because I'm getting that sandwich.

I'm not too happy about it as a Boston, you know. Yeah, that was an incredibly stupid bet by me. Well, you've been going through a lot of stuff. Maybe you're weren't as focused as you typically are. I was much higher on the Wizards than I should have been. What a game last night, too, by the way. Let's move on. It was a good game.

But I turned it off at halftime because they were down 18 and it was like they're going through the motions. Oh, my God. And I just thought the series is already over. So I've been, it's been the worst NBA playoffs. Terrible. There's been so many blowouts. In fact, the NBA to me has a major problem with the way these rosters are made and

where the teams are so top heavy now. Yeah. So I'm kind of down on it a little bit. So I said, screw this. I'm not wasting more time watching bad playoff basketball and I got, I got burned. Yeah, last year, in contrast, especially last year's playoffs were so good. They were so much fun last year. Let's move on.

Ryan Fitzpatrick got a job. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers agreed to terms with the veteran quarterback on Friday, a one-year deal worth $3 million in base salary, incentives that could take it up to $5 million. According to Rapsheet, of course, it's probably hard to hit the incentives unless some bad things happened to James Winston. I found it interesting, the Tampa Bay Times first reported this. I found it interesting that Ryan Fitzpatrick is now playing for the same base salary that he earned in his first year with the Jets when he was Gino Smith's backup. So much happened in between those two signings, but at the end of the day, he's right back where he started as a $3 million year guy, a hardcore backup quarterback in this scenario.

Everything's kind of back where it should be, and Fitz is now a backup to Whitson. I can't believe there was any controversy about this signing whatsoever, considering and Ryan Fitzpatrick has been the ideal backup quarterback for most of his career. He'll come in, throw you in or out of a game, but he could be an upgrade on Mike Glennon. You never know, but he's been a really good guy who can come off your bench and light up a defense. Your dismissal of Mike Glennon knows no bound.

I'll tell you who doesn't think he's going to be an upgrade. The Bucks who offered Mike Glennon more than double that salary. Well, I've seen Mike Glennon and Ryan Fitzpatrick play in the last five years, and in no way has Mike Glennon played better than Ryan Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick is old at this point. I think that's part of the concern is that he's not getting better. But to your point, Dan, I saw a stat about he's made right around that amount of money in four of the last five years as just like a backup for hire for $3 million.

That's where he should be. And by no means am I giving the Jets any credit for how they handled that last year. But the one thing they did get right is they ended up paying, him 12 million last year, which is a lot for Ryan Fitzpatrick in retrospect, but they did not at least have some type of multi-year deal in place. They were able to get out of it and move on after that one year. Yeah, lowest pass a rating in the league last year, right? And Colin Kaepernick still doesn't have a job, but wait, before we move on, did you know what Ryan Fitzpatrick was doing before he got signed by the Bucks? No, what? He was teaching a class. Do you know

what the class was? How to be someone that gets identified as going to Harvard? He was teaching a a Rubik's Cube class. This is on CBS Sports. Wow. Yeah. Uh-huh. I guess he's a... Wait, who signs up for a Rubik's Cube course?

I have no idea. Could you figure it out? Right. Or what year is this? Like, who are you showing it to that you're even impressing them? Like, when is this coming up that you're like, hey, just finish my class in Rubik's Cube? Check it out. I'm going to go pay to hear Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Tell me what YouTube. could show me for free or common sense would figure out on its own. My brother... Get those nerds! Nerds! My brother used to take the stickers

off the Rubik's cube and then just like put them in the order as it was to be. And finally in the news, Aaron Rogers got a tweet from some students in Iowa, high school students

who were taught by a woman that was a big Aaron Rogers fan, so they made a deal. They said, hey, if we get a tweet from Aaron Rogers, we cancel our finals exam and Aaron Rogers less than a couple hours later replied and got them out of their final.

And then the same thing happened with Brett Favre, I guess people picking up that cue and he got a class excused from finals and it all started. Kobe Bryant did the same thing retweeting a tweet that got a class out of the finals. And my question is, what about the kids? What about the education? I don't like this. There's too much glorification of our superstars. What about just focusing on what you've got to focus on the classroom?

I can't believe I didn't try this when I was in college. Twitter didn't exist. I think you're right, yeah. I don't know. I had the same response as Dan did. This is how we know we're old because it's that longing that we lost out on a chance at a sports literature class. Like you want to take that.

That's a valuable thing you have here. But when you're 18 years old or 20 years old, you just want to get out of the final. I feel like, yeah, I feel like, though, this is the akin to on the last day of OTAs when they're like, you guys were so great for the first four practices of minicamp that you're getting the whole day off. We're going to go skeet shooting.

And it's like at that point, you've already rented out the skeet shooting thing weeks in advance. It has nothing to do with whether you did a good job or not. If they're letting them out of the final for some measly retweet, like they weren't taking any real final. anyways that's my theory well yeah and the sports lit class screams kind of upper class upperclassman senior elective course right yeah nobody has to take seriously and it did I wrote about this on the end around the one the upperclassman elective course that I'll always remember was second semester senior year which was the same year that I won the superlative for nicest eyes did I mention that earlier on the show we got it hanging on to those glory that was high school yeah this was high school the second semester confusing story what did I say aren't you are you talking about college no high school I'm talking about okay okay all right why you're not have you had electives yeah like in high school yeah yeah senior electives no they do that in like Ritzy towns like like Riverdale or whatever Riverdale you guys gonna you couldn't choose what courses you took it yes I don't really remember what I did not really I took a second language instead of a science anyway but they I took like a film study course

Yeah, we didn't have that kind of thing. And they turned it into, because it was 1998 and our teacher loved the movie Titanic, a study of Titanic. Stop. That one cost me. Wow. That's kind of interesting, though, I guess. No, Pearl River was doing okay if we can afford a film studies teacher. It got that right.

It was our English teacher. I mean, the woman was teaching like 14 different classes. but anyway that was what was happening you got a problem by the way Greg you didn't think I was going to bring it back to the Pearl River on that one did you cold town well it's a it's a cold town but it's a it's a public school like you went to a private school in Martha's Vineyard everybody knows that you fly home you're going this summer you're flying home and where are you going with your family I went to Minichag Regional she's going to go to Martha's Vineyard this summer really yeah so let's calm down do you have Nantucket at Reds

Those, like, pink shorts that people wear. I've never been. I would like to go to see Bill Belichick walking around. That's what's happening in the news. All right. Before we get to our game, I want you to guys know that it's time to elevate your underwear game to the next level.

Thank God. With Miondi's. What is Miondi's? Just seriously saw Feel Good Undies delivered right to your door. Meandis are designed in L.A. and made from sustainably sourced micromodole. modal a fabric three times softer than cotton me undies softer than soft luxury undies come in an ever-changing selection of classical colors or classic colors I should say

So go ahead, revamp your underwear drawer. You deserve it. Once again, that's meandies.com slash NFL 2017. Meandes.com slash NFL 2017. Seameless. It just crossed my mind, by the way. It just caught my attention, I should say, that this. thing where Sidney's leaving us, was this meant to throw off our scent about the individualized

offer codes that we're trying to get for Miandis? It should be Sidney. I think that's giving Shadow League figures far too much credit for caring. But like, oh, they're sniffing around the individualized offer codes again. Let's lose the producer, send a message. Not that Sydney was fired or anything, but... No. I'm just saying this is a big corporation.

should we announce like what maybe maybe the next maybe your last show will announce where you're going and everything going on there oh yeah nice tease it out nice tis nicely done greg uh it is time now well that was a good moment for you because you did nice tease but now i like that you said maybe we'll do it though now we're going to do it maybe but now the worst part of your day because it's back baby the wheel of destiny What is The Wheel of Destiny? Jaunty music. The Wheel of Destiny is a game with three contestants.

And I guess I should introduce them right now. Contestant number one. Philadelphia PA's own Connie Fox. Woo! Hello, hello. Contestant two back after claiming a title in the first edition of the game. You know who he is. The mailman, Chris Wessling.

And finally, the man who wants the game to go away. Greg Rosenthal. Boom. Boom. This show, you said everyone remembers Chris won. In fact, no one in this room remembered who won. Oh, I did. Or the results.

Or really how the show went. The details are coming back, though. Mark came in third, and then in the finals, West defeated Greg. that's how it went and now Mark by virtue of coming in last has been eliminated and relegated

if you will now Connie Fox gets her turn okay and we'll do the same thing the next time we play this I'm really great at games I should just say that I mean we played cards against humanity

and we all remember how that went that went extremely it was the cards extremely well and behind the glass of course she is the Vanna White of this game oh yeah New money.

You can give yourself. Do I applause myself? Yeah, go ahead. Thank you. Thank you so much, everyone. And remember, you have to enter Vanna. Although Vanna doesn't talk, so maybe not a good example. But use the broadcaster voice because you will be, in a lot of ways, the voice of this game.

I am the host. What's the voice like? Is it like just the voice that you are talking in now, or is there a specific thing you're thinking of? Maybe the female version on some level. Like, Sydney, can we hear you say, I am leaving. this podcast at the end of a week, but say it in a very broadcast-y-like voice. Okay, except that my broadcasting voice is really enthusiastic,

and that makes me sound like a joyous occasion. That's true. Give it a world. Say you're going to Disneyland. Yeah. I'm going to Disneyland. That was perfect. Yeah, like it.

There you go. All right. So, Sydney, the way again, we have categories. We spin the wheel, and everybody gets a turn, but also you can jump in and steal. And this is round one, three, rounds and then the final two contestants the top scores one question for the final confused no one was really sure of what the rules were what the destiny is we really hammered it out though

we got this down okay i think that my topics and questions are going to go really well okay this game whether it goes well or not as long as gregg is miserable i'm enjoying okay great perfect let's get it going and um Colleen as the new challenge challenger here. You will go first. So go ahead. Give that wheel a spin. All right. What do we got, Sid? Colleen, you landed on Division of Labor. You can only watch one division for the 2017 season. You cannot choose the division your favorite team is in. What division do you choose? Good question. I like this one. Sounds like a great question. I would. I will. I will watch the AFC West.

The AFC West has, I want to see what the Chiefs do this year. I know the Raiders are going to be better. And I think that if I can't watch an NFC East Division, then that's where I'm going. I think the AFC West is probably going to be the best division in football. Anybody want to jump in with an attempt to steal? Yeah, I will. I would, but I know my host. So I'll let Greg attempt to steal.

Very smart. That's why he's the champ. Go ahead, Greg. You know your host. You can't pitch the Buccaneers and Saints to Dan Hanzas. What? Go ahead. Is that what you feel?

Well, it doesn't hurt. You won't get any negative points. Yeah, you don't understand the game either. Oh. You know, you can't lose points by trying to steal. So I'm going to go for the NFC South because this NFL we love to watch is all about quarterbacks. It's all about scoring points.

And you're not going to find a better four pack of quarterbacks that will entertain you even in a bad, you know, week of games. Then James Winston, Drew Brees, Cam Newton, and Matt Ryan. That's the division to watch. Derek Carr, it's going to be, they're going to be scoring a lot of points. We'll see what happens with Alex Smith. He's going to have a chip on his shoulder now that there's another quarterback in town. I don't think mentioning Alex Smith is going to do it.

But also, you know, the fact that beast modes of all. I'm going to say FD West. Yeah, Colleen does get the points there. Two points. Two points for Colleen. And she's right on the board. So, feeling good. How about that?

Wes, spin the wheel. Let's do it. Wes, you landed on super big decision. Due to the rain in Los Angeles, the NFL will be forced to move the location of Super Bowl 55. Thank you very much. In 2021, you get to decide where the game is played. Where to?

Hmm. we're going to New Orleans We're going to New Orleans Greg is right It should be New Orleans every year I have never been to New Orleans Which is the most unique American city

And should be one of our most cherished American cities It's all about having a good time Throw them some spice into your life The food The scenery Everybody's on balconies Everybody's in a great mood

The revelry Yeah we're going to New Orleans Nobody jump in on this That's the correct answer. That's the only answer here. I agree. What, Greg, what do you say? You disagree with it?

For the first time ever? Well, the contrarian. You've been pounding the table on this forever. Well, for once, I have factual information that you would think the host would be aware of or at least, you know, be open to listening to. Go ahead. The Superdome is booked in 2020. They've already kind of looked into it with different events or whatever year it is,

so the Super Bowl cannot be played. What is the event? What takes precedence? That's bigger than the Super Bowl. I don't know. Like some rodeo? I read. How do you know this?

There's a monster truck rally that weekend. I saw it on Saints Twitter, you know, from the New Orleans Times Picky. And people were asking that in New Orleans. Hey, could we get the Super Bowl now that year? And it turns out it's not. Greg, monitoring all New Orleans. I would like to know what is the event that's booked that they wouldn't possibly consider dumping because the biggest.

game in the world is being played. I mean, when you make a commitment, whatever it is, whatever it is, I guess. Stenuating circumstances. Yeah, there's honestly no other place that would be better. And I get it, Super Bowl 47 with the blackout, and it's pretty clear now the NFL's moved to a different model where they're rewarding franchises with new stadiums or are upset or were kind of spooked by what happened in New Orleans last time at the Superdome. But this idea that we can go a decade or so.

without, or maybe more, it's just not right. Yeah, don't get me wrong. It's absolutely insane. The New Orleans should host the Super Bowl by rule every four or five years. Yeah. But the NFL blew it already. So I would say, throw it, you know, throw it in Miami. Just do it a couple times.

I'm taking those two points regardless, Greg. Those, you get, you stay with the points. I don't, I don't like the idea that they're not. So this is a game that has nothing to do with reality. Like, like the NFL would. Oh, bring it. I'm looking at you, fat guy in the front. Like the NFL would grease a few palms and make that other event go away.

Come on. All right, Greg, you seem to be splintering here a little bit, but give it a shot. All right, let's go. It cannot be an event bigger than Super Bowl. Tell the circus they got a re-book. They're done now. Greg, you have landed on last plan standing. Who's post-playing career lasts the longest.

Tony Romo as a broadcaster, Jake Cutler as a broadcaster, or Rob Grancowski as a pro rassler. Which one lasts the longest? So it's the total amount of time that they have that job, not necessarily like the years out, because Gronks won't even start that job for a while. It's who's the last man standing is the title of the question.

I'm going to have to go with Tony Romo. I think Jay Cutler either won't be great or will get bored of the job after a while. That it's really not going to, he doesn't need the money. You know, he loves football, but it'll get kind of, maybe he doesn't love it as much as everyone else and it just won't intellectually stimulate him. He's got to go do some other different things. Rob Grunkowski can't stay healthy playing football. I don't really see a reason why other than, you know, you can take more drugs before you wrestle,

why he's going to be so much healthier as a wrestler. So I don't think that lasts too long. Tony Romo is the answer. Plus the average life expectancy of a pro wrestler is like, what, 47? Sadly. It's dark. They don't last too long. Greg, that is the correct answer.

Oh. And by all, you think that I'm somehow going to try to tank your game? I'm not because as the host and judge, I am being completely fair with you. We've stacked the deck. We stack the deck. I do think you'll do that. That's the whole. point of the game.

That's the whole conceit. No. Let me tell you something, Greg. Make Greg angry and miserable. That is not, that's not how I roll. I like it. All right. That's not how I roll, Greg.

I'm here for a fair game. That's my role here is the host and the judge. Round two, point value guys, doubles. But just so you know, through round one, two is all around. Three-way tie. Yep, three-way tie. All right. Connie, you're up.

Nice spin. Thanks. Masculine, powerful spin. Thank you. Colleen, you have landed on race to labor day. What lasts longer? The absurd male romper fad or Cam Newton's shoulder rehab. Oh, Cam's shoulder rehab for sure.

I don't know. I just feel like with, especially with shoulders, there can be so many setbacks. And with him, I just don't see it being something that gets fixed right away, and he's back, and he's back to his old self and gets through everything fine. This feels like something that could drag on and something that we'll talk about a lot on this podcast. Anybody want to steal?

Yes. Wes. Shoulders are fixable. Bad taste is not. But isn't the battle? Are he over? Yeah, the robber fad's over. You know, it's been killed.

It's like Monday, the 22nd people have moved past it. Good morning football did a segment. It's over. Is that the line of demarcation? No, I'm just saying, like, everyone's done the romper bits. Now we're going to go back to not talking about him, and no one's going to buy him. What are you? Colleen's attorney?

It was good. I liked it. Yeah, I don't know. I'm just throwing. I don't know how the game works. The points go to Connie Fox. Connie, coming to play. That's four points.

Wes, you're up. All right. Let's do it. Stregor filled out that romper pretty nicely. Oh, he put one on? Yeah, he had an eyeliner. Oh, yeah. That was Kyle.

Oh, you're right, you're right, right. Hey, man. He looked great. Wes, choose your own adventure. You can go back to 2006 and inhabit the life of Jake Cutler or Reggie Bush for the next decade. Who do you choose? Reggie Bush, in the news, he told Andrew Siciliano today on Up to the Minute Live that he still wants to play. Two members of the 2006 draft class here. This is a really top question.

It's a little random, Jay got into two questions. Yeah, talk us through. Why is it such a tough question? Because knowing you, you've never mentioned. Well, you don't know who made the question. Knowing, Dan, he's never mentioned Reggie Bush's name without a derisive comment. And not like insulting him, just the really derisive comment about being proud about it. Well, the thousand yard stuff did get on my radar a little bit, but, you know.

He also had a very disappointing career compared to the expectations that he entered league. I don't know. Plus, I kind of don't like that Reggie Bush didn't stick up for himself more when the NCAA took his stuff away from him. Like, who gives a crap NCAA? Like, go stick it. Interesting. So I don't know that.

But Jay Cutler is one of the most unlikable human beings on the podcast. Oh, who. You know what? I'll take Cutler's last 10 years. He made a lot more money. And I'm not usually a money-first, money's-everything kind of guy. But in this situation, a choice. of two kind of mediocre options,

I'll take the money. Mediocre options. Anybody want to steal? I'll try to steal here. I mean, Reggie Bush has a ring. I think that counts. Reggie Bush has, if you're talking money, must have gotten a lot of endorsement money right off the bat.

So he had some money. I mean, had some big time. He was about as hyped coming into league as anyone. And it said life. So it's the entire life. And this could actually get me eliminated, considering the judge is Dan. But I think if we're talking about the different paramours

that these two gentlemen have, you know, the Reggie Bush one is interesting. Reggie Bush seems like he's a happier person in general. Ooh, that's a good call. Seems like it, but he's not. I don't quite understand the paramour angle there. Yeah, I mean, it got myself into trouble. What, Ken Kardashian versus Kristen?

Right. Because for Dan, that's going the other way. I still don't know. I'm a happily married man. I don't have any opinion on that. But I will say that Reggie Bush. You can have an opinion. Reggie Bush is the right answer.

Yeah. Reggie Bush, by the way, he's been a little bit of a disappointment in the NFL, but he is a legendary college star. He owns Southern California. He's made a lot of money. And Jay Cutler is kind of a punchline, which I think he struggles with a little bit. Reggie Bush, I just feel like is. and Bush is a good-looking guy, too.

So he got the looks for you. He seems like he would be more fun to hang out with than Jay Culler. All right, Wes. That's one point. Point values, excuse me, point values double in round two. So Greg gets two points there. Connie, oh, my goodness, is six. Wes stuck at two and needs.

Wait, hold on. How can Greg and Connie both get points for that one? No, she got in the first round, she got her right. I stole it. She got her first round question or second round question. Oh, because these are worth four. Yes, yes. Doubles and value.

This is the part of the show where Dan makes it look like I'm going to win. And then at the last minute, it turns out. But we should be checking Dan's math. Absolutely check my math. But right now, about to do the final question of round two, I have it. This is like the Laugh Olympics. Did you ever watch that? Oh, yeah.

They're really rotten? The bad guy, the bad team look like that. I have it at six for Colleen, four for Greg and two for West. Well, I still have to go on this. And now Greg's time. Let's spin the wheel. Oh, lose a turn. Oh, no.

The only thing that anyone could remember from the show last time around was that I was the one that lost the turn. It's actually Mark. So it's interesting. Mark lost the turn. Randomness is funny, Greg. It's amazing. That's how that worked out.

Bad luck. But as Sidney, as you could vouch, that was totally done at random. Everything's random. All, you know, this is a fair game. This is a square house. There's no agendas here. So that's how we're standing going into the third. Sidney's gone to the dark side right before she's on her way out.

The third and final round, point values stay the same. Okay. And Colleen, you are the leader right now. In fact, you can punch your ticket to the final if you get this question, right? Let the wheel spin. Greg and West, very tight for that second spot in the finals. Here we go. Could be another loser turn.

You never know. Oh, okay. Colleen. Hoof. NFL honors. You are chosen to co-host the NFL's annual award show with an NFL player of your choosing. Who do you pick? Oh, man.

That's question. This is really hard. Very open. End it. I know. Okay. Well, it wouldn't be Pat McAfee because he would. steal the show.

And he's not an NFL player anymore. Okay. I guess he would. Okay. I think I would go with Aaron Rogers because he can be sneaky, funny. I know that we've seen, I think, a side of him where

some of the things he says and does comes off the wrong way if you're not a Packers fan. But I think that he would be a fun person to do honors with. Aaron Rogers co-hosting with Connie Fox of the honors I like that. Plus, I could shine.

And you can shine. You get your shine on. Right. Anybody want to jump in with this deal? I mean, my head went to Wade Phillips. I'm not about to be done that. Wait, that would be awesome. Like, who's going to be the funniest guy?

It's going to be Wade Phillips. So in this situation, would it be Chris Wesleying and Wade Phillips? Oh, yeah. Interesting team. I mean, it'd be like Waldorf and Statler up there. We watch the ratings pour in. Yes. Of course.

I love our studio audience. I'm going to steal, and I like the, I think Colleen had a great answer, but I like the way she's thinking. I'm going to go with the biggest star wattage possible, and that's Tom Brady, to get the most eyeballs on this so that I can shine and that I can maybe look good, so that I can maybe look good in comparison.

Tom's getting better at the commercials and everything, but you don't want, you know, you don't necessarily want a host that's way better and funnier than you. Are you saying that Aaron Rogers would be way better and funnier than me? Yeah, he's kind of, no, not necessarily, but I think he, I think he'd be good at the job. I think he's, he is kind of, I think he would be good at doing that. It's interesting that you would pick Tom Brady, just knowing your audience here in the judge. That's true.

Yeah, and I, you know, Tom Brady to me is way too robotic. And it would be probably he would do a professional job, but would it be a likable fun show? Nothing off the cuff, that's true. No, I think that Aaron Rogers, with that kind of sly, understated sense. sense of humor. It's a great pick. I got it. And, you know, he's a legendary athlete, a football player in his own right.

And I think that's the right answer. Who would you pick, Dan? If you were weighing it. Yeah, you're not getting any answer. Who would you throw in the mix? Cam would have been a good answer. Oh, Cam would be good. Cam would be very good.

Well, Wes, you don't think so. He's a preening schmo. Everything's scripted. Well, I mean, that's perfect for an award show. Whatever. He's a robot. I would go with Christian Hakenberg personally. He's got to figure out his career options if this doesn't work out this year.

Give him a shot. I would remove myself. I would be Christian Hakenberg and Roberto O'Gwayo, the two of them up there. Christian Hockenberg is real? All right, Colleen, you're going to the finals. Congratulations. Thank you. Unless I got the math wrong, but I think it's a little premature.

I think you're up to now 10 points. Let's face it, the other guys aren't going to catch you there. I'm not taking anything for granted. Wes, this is big. spin that wheel because if you don't get this if you don't get this right let's do it you're in trouble here we go spin the wheel

you're still let me just say I'll set the table here Greg has a two point lead on Wes even if West doesn't get this right he could catch Greg on a jump in as long as Greg doesn't get either answer

you should take away points too if you don't like someone's answer I know that's not fair but Wes destiny is still in your hands if you can get this All right. Wes, do as I say, you have the chance to give any coach or GM in the league one directive that they must follow implicitly. Who will you command and what will you say? Whoa. Coach or GM?

GM. Coach or GM. Are we going to need the Jeopardy ticking clock? This is a no way affiliated with Jeopardy. of fortune around the horn so any of you if you're looking a lawyer up this is a completely original game yep one bit of advice west that you can give out can i give advice to whoever came up with this question instead no you cannot come up with a much better question it doesn't take time to think oh that's stuff that's you better hope the judge didn't ask that question

yeah yeah you better you better be worried that the that the host of the game didn't come up with My one directive would be Mike Zimmer, fix your eye. Oh, God. Jeez. It's imploding in a big spot here. Look, compared to how you handled the new spot on this, I thought they'd be right up your alley. Isn't that what you basically, so let's get over this, Mike Zimmer?

Anybody want to jump in on that one? Anybody want to jump in? I'm sorry, that's the wrong answer. That is the wrong answer. I met Mike Zimmer let I hope we fix your eye for you I mean we you know that that is not really what the nature of the question was that's all well the nature of the question was crazy perfect perfect example I'll give you what I would do I wanted to jump in but somehow it just felt like Wes

had ended that part of the show yeah right there I had to just move on a perfect example Hugh Jackson I would tell Hugh Jackson do not even entertain making Brock Osweiler a starter or putting him in this competition. That's what I would spend that down. You shave your mustache. Get a different haircut, maybe. That's another directive. Yeah.

That's more about his personal appearance. All right, Greg, you know the rules now. All you got to do, if you get, you control your destiny. You get this right. You're into the finals. Okay. With Colleen, spin that wheel. And I don't think you can get hit with a double.

Lose your turn. Oh, no. No, that would be too messed up. West with like a late period when West's toaster meltdown there, and people are shocked. Look. That was a really hard question. If anybody's going to get related, it should be me.

I should have jumped in. What's our question? Greg, stick to sports. If you had to choose one NFL player as your next door neighbor for the rest of your life, who would it be? One NFL player as my next door neighbor. I feel like I answer Malcolm Butler for all these questions. he's just he's just an agreeable an agreeable guy it's tough especially if you live in a neighborhood where the houses are close maybe you're sharing a fence do you have an issue with your neighbor

no but we're in a building and we and our dogs aren't really friendly so that's causing an issue have you have you worked things out with uh what's his name with bruce our neighbor we we haven't heard from him he hasn't called the cops on us lately so people also really loved your story about your parents sending the pennies oh that's all my parents are in town right now and then they've continued to give me more details about that's great all right gregg you've had some time to think it over this is a tough one i'm going to say uh james winston i would like to have as my next door neighbor number one means i'm in a nice neighborhood i mean this could be true for a lot of NFL players, but making a lot of cash.

I feel like once he's done, even right now, but once he's done with the NFL, but even right now, like, he's a motivational guy. Like, if I'm struggling, I'm kind of like walking down the street with a hang dog expression, James is going to come by and pick me up. He's going to kind of give me a little bit of a pep talk. Is that something you want in a neighbor? Sure. If it's James Winston, I'm buying what he's selling.

He is very passionate. We've seen in the videos. He seems like he would want to make friends with his. his neighbors, you know? Especially if you're cooking crab legs. That was another thing. I was trying to think of who would be a good cook of NFL players. I don't really know of any off the top of my head.

But, yeah, he's into crab legs. That's a positive. All right. Wes, you have a, do you want to try to steal here? Oh, yeah. Vince Wilfork. He's going to have the ribs out there. He's going to entertain you, but definitely dancing while he's smoking the ribs.

You know, you're going to have all kinds of barbecue going on to. Wow. That's. I mean, we got to give that to Wes. Wes with the steel. You can't beat that. And you know what that means we have a tie. Uh-oh.

Would you let Vince Wilfork use the big green egg? Oh, absolutely, yeah. I don't know if... I love to see him do it. Yeah, I would like to have a thing where I use Vince's, like, rib truck that he has. Oh, my God, yeah. He's got a better setup than I do.

I mean, because he's obviously a multimillionaire. And I make a pit. But that green egg. He might convert to the green egg if he uses it. I like that. Great neighbor. So there we go. I've already got the best neighbor around.

That's Connie Fox and Vons. Yeah, this other guy that she lives with. The score after three rounds. Colleen 10 and Wes and Greg both four. You know what that means? Everyone's going to the finals. Oh, wow. Because we could have a tiebreaker to get to the final.

You know what? Let's go to the final. and you know what this means. Wow. What an incredible moment. You know what it means. What an incredible moment here. Because this is worth 10 points.

What? Wow. 10 points. Are you just, did you spake that up? Well, you guys suck so bad that I... None of the game mattered. You planned all of this, right? Well, I thought you guys would be within five points of colleagues.

I like this and everything we just did is meaningless. Totally meaningless. I think it's telling of the topics and the questions we came up with. Good God. I feel properly chastened. All right, here we go. This is the final round. This is what it's all about, folks.

10 points more. Am I up? No. Who's up? Nobody knows. Colleen, as the leader, you get to answer. All right. All right, Colleen, food is my paramour.

You have to gain a sizable amount of weight in a very short period of time to collect a bonus in your contract. What is your food of choice? Wow. So it's like the inverse of Eddie Lacey. Okay. Who came up with this? Wasn't me. I was going to say like West, you know, it was like a fantasy for West just being able to.

I mean, after hearing all of this barbecue talk, I think I would have to go with smoked brisket. Just barbecue in general and milkshakes. If I had to gain a lot of weight in a little bit of time, that's what I would go with. Oh, my God, and it would be the most delicious time of my life. It would be a lot of fun. This was the final question we chose, huh? I mean, we could do a double bonus round if you so choose. Just thinking we should have had Colleen go last for suspense reasons.

If she gets this right, Greg and I are too. We can try to go steal this, right? You could try to steal it. It's time for a steal. All right. I'm going to try to steal with garlic bread because I feel like you could just eat bread. I could eat bread. No, this is.

Okay, we'll hear them out. Hear them out. You can eat bread. I could eat it forever. And there's really not much more. If you want to, like, gain weight, just eat bread nonstop. How do you make your garlic bread? I don't make it.

Oh, okay. The secret ingredient is paprika. Peppreca. Paprika? Yeah. Eat garlic bread. All right, Wes, you're up. Maybe I shouldn't have tried to steal.

Wow, I don't know. I don't think I can top barbecue and milkshakes. That's pretty much just what the doctor ordered for gaining weight and tasting good. All right, Philadelphia cheese steaks. Oh. I've never passed up a Philly cheese steak in my life. It's a philosophy. That's a great one.

The correct answer. I don't know, pizza? And that's it. Colleen wins. You are the champion of Wheel of Destiny. Wait, we got two more questions. Oh, no, we don't. What do I win?

What do you win? You win a pair of Greg's used to beundies. That was a great callback from before the show started. Those are spoken for. Yes, somebody else. I will let the audience. Am I allowed to share this little nugget of what's going on behind the scenes of the podcast? It's one of the stranger developments.

Sure. That we all got Biondi's as part of the sponsorship. Greg wore his once and decided, you know what, I have my own undies. I'm not going to use these anymore. Not that there's nothing wrong with Miondi's. Great product, just like Derek Carr is a great quarterback. So then. Ding.

That's even better. Perfect. Better. So anyway, Greg says, I'm going to get rid of these. West steps in and says, hey, my paramour, she wants in on those. West didn't step in. The Paramour stepped in, said, I want, I want in on those. So Greg said, okay, and hand over a pair of pre-owned undies, me undies, to Wes's paramour.

We're in San Francisco, the paramour and I, sailing over to Sausalito Island when I tell her that Greg's throwing his me undies giving them to goodwill and she said she immediately took out her phone texted gregg and said hey i want your me yundi that's somebody who really likes me yundies me undies must be awesome i got to try him just like derrick car there we go did it did it um all right there you go so colin you're the champ congratulations that might be the last edition of uh of the game so you might be the champion the reigning champ then that's great great for me perhaps the first forever champion of Wheel of Death.

So glad I played. Yeah. We will be back either Wednesday or Thursday. We're not sure yet with our second show of the week. And thank you for everyone to everyone. And Connie, you're going to join us again? Sure. Is that an official invite?

You know what? Should we make things official? It's official. Okay. Wow. Connie coming back. Another show this week. So everybody make sure you tune in and check out the subreddit.

Don't forget around the NFL. We did go over 5,000. That is on our radar in the coming weeks as we figure out how to choose the winner and what to give them. Maybe some more used underwear. I don't know. I thought Sessler was just going to call their phone 5,000 times over a year. Did we decide on that? It seems like a much better gift.

Maybe that's what we'll settle on ultimately. But, yeah, sign up for the subredder and also on iTunes, leave star ratings, comments. You know the deal. All right. Let's go. This is Dan Hansa signing off for Connie Fox, the mailman, daddy bubbles. Yeah. New money behind the glass.

Until Wednesday. Whenever I was in need. We got to do it together. I don't know what the words were there. Why did it have to end? This is terrible. This is really awful. I hate singing and I always end up singing in here.
