Starting point is 00:00:00 the league meeting just got done and Dan fellow owners have finally, finally got done with the votes besides one proposed rule change and that is the push push. Jimmy has some regret his decision on bringing on to Sean Watson short answer. Yes. Yes, he does. This is the Fularuski Podcast. It may not have always showed it in the staff sheet, but you can see him making throws when he needs to make the throws. Back to back games where he has three touchdowns. Someone's
Starting point is 00:00:33 got to get that six or seven spot. He's an elite wide receiver as a rookie. Truly a lose-lose scenario for both sides. This is the Fumbaruski podcast powered by Power 88 Dean Radio and Secret Weapon Consulting and right off the bat at 1135, we got some breaking news. Breaking news at the top of the hour. Not really. Miles Garrett has announced his retirement. I'm just really but Miles Garrett I Was just thinking of doing the April Fool's thing like five seconds prior to me saying that and I probably would have been better to do someone other than miles Garrett for a retirement thing, but
Starting point is 00:01:38 What are you gonna do The NFL voted on or the NFL owners voted on proposed rule changes this morning and they finally came back. One of them, of course, was the tush push. And so far the tush push ban proposal got set to a later date is one of those things where there is a lot of it's very 5050 like there's a lot of butting heads and There's not a clear per se
Starting point is 00:02:11 There's not a clear Leader in this right Does that make sense CJ? Yeah. Yeah, they're like All the owners are kind of split down the middle on this. Obviously, it was 1616. Yeah. Like Nick Seriotti obviously wants this and I don't know if you saw the quote that he had. I don't know if it's true or not. I kind of just saw it like very quickly and then scroll to the next thing. But he said he was talking about Jonathan Gann and Shane Steichen and Kellen
Starting point is 00:02:46 Moore, all of whom used to be assistants under Nick Sirianni. And he said they know what to vote for because they got their jaws because of it. I We talked about this before though we were just hope I would like it to not be bands, but I guess Since the episode where we talked about Since the episode where we talked about the Arid the original Tushbush band proposal by the Packers a couple weeks ago. It feels like a month ago, honestly um I
Starting point is 00:03:30 Would not like to see it banned but as time has gone on since we did that episode I've kind of been growing more accepting to the fact that it's going to get banned even though I don't really want it to like because obviously obviously the one thing that the one counterpoint that makes the most sense to me is, and obviously, we talked about that too, is how linebackers can't push behind like defensive linemen, right? And that's like the whole that's the main counterpoint right and Like I can be more willing to accept that fact and obviously we've talked about how there hasn't really been there's no a zero percent
Starting point is 00:04:17 Injury rate on the tush push play besides Chris Jones and Super Bowl, but he was just being a jackass Yeah off sides and lined up horizontally to the line. So he quite literally heard himself. Chiefs fans don't want to hear it, but I also don't care what Chiefs fans want and don't want. Yeah. So it's going to be interesting to
Starting point is 00:04:38 see how this ends up playing out. Of course, like we said, 0% injury rate since 2022 and in 2024, the Tush push play had an 87 percent success rate according to ESPN analytics And that's accounting for every Any team that's doing their own tush push play not just the Eagles we're talking about the bills we're talking about Whoever else does tush push honestly I can't think of who else does tush push besides the Eagles and the Bills I'm
Starting point is 00:05:09 blanking on it right now I'm sure a few teams have tried it at least once I yeah no one has it more than the Eagles though no like the the Chiefs kind of have their own little version like every team has their own little version too where they also have like the tight end going into do the snap like Noah Gray on the Chiefs will do the quarterback sneak instead of Patrick Mahomes shit like that. Another rule change that just got approved the touchback spot change has now been moved from the 30 yard line to the 35 yard line. So once again, this is a thing for the league where they're trying to eliminate touchbacks and try to encourage more kick returns. So obviously before 15 years ago, they made the rule change of moving the kickoff to the 35
Starting point is 00:06:10 Like moving the kickoff point to the 35 home from the 30 and the touchback was at the 25 still and then they made the New hybrid kickoff thing last year and moved the touchback spot to the 30 yard line, which teams kind of said, all right, well, that's a five yard difference, who cares? But now you have a 10 yard difference, which kind of does matter at this point.
Starting point is 00:06:39 You're talking 10 yards field position. So this is just another attempt for the league to encourage more kick. I want more kick returns as well. And if this is gonna do that, then by all means go for it. But my thing at the end of the day is you could have easily just got like just fixed it by moving the kickoff spot five yards.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Five yards back to where it originally was. Just this is so stupid. It really is like at this point, just give them the ball on the 50. I mean, if you're starting on the 35, then literally like one solid play and you're already in a field goal range. Like it's no secret why the NFL wants to do this.
Starting point is 00:07:25 It's really not, they want more scoring. That's really all this is, they wanna facilitate more scoring. And for me, I just think it's funny, just the real duality of man type thing we have going on here. Cause remember back in the day, circa like 2013 to like 2016
Starting point is 00:07:46 or whatever, when they were talking about, oh, kickoffs are unsafe. And there was some like legitimate movement to try to ban kickoffs. Yep. And as a result, they moved, you know, from the 20 to the 25. They're saying, oh, hey, I know that, you know,
Starting point is 00:08:01 then they got rid of the wedge block formation. Then you couldn't take a running start until like the ball was X amount of yards or whatever and Now and now they're trying to Increase the amount of kickoff so it gets to the point where they're trying to discourage touchbacks Because a lot of and they're hiding behind the data of okay. well the dynamic kickoff decreases injury risk. All right, NFL, you're clearly leaving something out, you know. It's just the same thing, oh you're less likely to get hurt on the dynamic kickoff, oh that's so cool. All right, I want to add a very important piece of context.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Teams were returning the ball less. Because most teams thought the dynamic kickoff was stupid. And as a result, they were just settled for the touchback, even though they tried to scourge that by moving the ball to the 30. Now the 35. So yeah, obviously injuries are going to go down when teams aren't returning it, like duh. But you can't just say, oh, we changed it. No, no, no, no, no. So once again, like I said,
Starting point is 00:09:14 they're just trying to discourage touchbacks, which it's just, it's so, why? Why? Like why to the 35? That's like I said, just at this know, just give them both the red zone like I mean sky's the limit when you don't care Truthfully It's just it's so
Starting point is 00:09:35 It's just it's ridiculous. I guess is the term it really is and As far as the touch push goes like you mentioned like, like I said, the league actually seems pretty split. 16 owners voted to get rid of it, 16 voted to keep it. So obviously well short of the 24 that they needed. I just, I would say the easiest solution just to amend the rule that says linebackers can push on the defensive linemen.
Starting point is 00:10:04 See, problem solved, everyone's happy. And really there's just no reason to get rid of it. But overall, moving the touchback position to the 35, that's just wrong. Or at bare minimum, allow the defense, so you know how they have to wait till you catch the ball before you run, otherwise it's an illegal formation.
Starting point is 00:10:28 That's stupid. Let them take a running star. Also bring back the wedge block, come on. Yeah. You bring up the wedge block and so these kickoff rules have been, it feels like every year they're, and you made that point, it feels like every year they're, and you made that point,
Starting point is 00:10:46 it feels like every year they're making some sort of change to the kickoffs and whatnot. And this has been a, pretty much a 15 to 16 year thing because the wedge block got banned back in 09, NCAA followed suit in the next year in 2010. And then a couple of years later, they moved the kickoff spot up to the 35. Like I said, this could all just be fixed by moving it back to the 30.
Starting point is 00:11:10 Just move it back to the 30, you'll get more returns. Like you don't need to move the touchback line. You don't need to do any of this shit. You could just move it back five yards. That's all it is. back five yards. That's that's all it is. The other rule change that has been put into place is now the aligning of the overtime rules with playoffs and regular season. So now the regular season overtime is now the same as the overtime, which is that
Starting point is 00:11:41 both teams will now have a chance to possess the football and have a chance to score. Whereas in the regular season in the past, if you score a touchdown games over, if you take a field goal and get it, other team has a chance. This is one of those that, like I said, a couple of couple weeks ago when we first were talking about these proposed rule changes that you know, I saw this more as like kind of a similarity to like the NHL rules where they just have five on or three on three over time for five minutes if they can't get it done, they go to a shootout just save legs. I kind of always saw as that.
Starting point is 00:12:25 But when you also think about how there's a lot less games in an NFL season than any other season, these games matter that much more. This is kind of my thought process through the last couple of weeks. You know, you have less games, these games matter more. So you do want to have teams get the chance to try to Hold their own destiny I guess is the right the right way to say it I guess
Starting point is 00:13:05 Teams already did hold their own destiny Chris. It's called getting a stop. Yeah, that's it much like with The weird touchback thing there. They just want to prioritize offense this is another rule in the NFL where they're blatantly just trying to Just disincentive eyes defense or de incentivize defense. I'm, but yeah, and look here's the thing since 2010, right? You see that stat right there teams won the OT coin toss at a 52% chance of winning at least in the playoffs Alright, that's 52% granted but still that means 48% of the time you don't that's only a four-point difference That's a lean margin my friends like you're not gonna gonna sell me that the lean margin or you know any margin within five points is gonna like magically guarantee anything. It's not. But good lord. I just why does
Starting point is 00:13:58 the NFL, I mean I know why the NFL hates defense because look you know it's not sexy. It doesn't sell as well and And you know, they're just doing anything and try to artificially increase offense. And I just, everything's just watered down at this point. I just, I was never okay with the OT rule proposal because the only teams that hated it were the teams that cried. You know, for example, most infamously Kansas City,
Starting point is 00:14:24 you know, I said this when we first brought it up about how they lost to the Patriots in Arrowhead and then Travis Kelsey literally had a full-blown tantrum on social media over it and then the Chiefs beat the Bills in overtime Well, Buffalo never got the ball and we didn't hear a peep and then all of a sudden it's fine It's like just play defense, would it kill you to play defense? Yeah, that's basically what it comes down to at that point is Just need to get a stop on defense that's that's all really is And you know, there's at that point too though, like you also have
Starting point is 00:15:05 the games where it's like the Chiefs bills overtime game from a couple years ago, which Was the essentially ended up being the reason why the playoff overtime rules changed to begin with And you know, you got a game like that Might as well have both teams get a chance on offense because of no no no no if they want chance on offense their defense can make a stop that's it because because that's the thing it's like oh but what if our defense isn't good it's like well then I'm sorry you just don't want it enough I guess like that's what it is you really that's the thing especially in overtime you know when one touchdown can win the game like automatically
Starting point is 00:15:47 Then I'm sorry I'm I don't know what to tell you like you like you just you gotta want it more at that point. It's a test of wills There's a over. What if they're tired? It's okay. Then then what is your strength and conditioning like? There's like the why is one team fresh and the other team just not. Yeah. I mean, there's there's also we've also seen plenty of times where teams don't even try to get the game to the overtime. Like, remember, remember when the Ravens actually might have been like as I think was the twenty three season, I think it was where 23 season, I think it was, where they were like so incredibly injured
Starting point is 00:16:30 that they didn't even wanna take the chance of going to overtime because they knew that they would lose. And so they would try to end the game either by winning it on a two point conversion at the last second or lose it on that two point conversion at the last second or lose it on that two-point conversion at the last second So Tough yeah That's tough. Like what do you want? Yeah
Starting point is 00:16:57 The Lions bylaw proposal to reseed and the playoffs was tabled source said perhaps more discussion in May There's also gonna be that's the other thing. There's also another league owners meeting that's going to be happening in May. So a lot of these rules that didn't get passed or banned unanimous unanimously or by way of getting the right amount of votes, the 75 percent vote, then they'll have another chance at it come May. So yeah, there's that.
Starting point is 00:17:38 Also the Lions, speaking of them, their proposal to eliminate automatic first downs on defensive holding didn't have enough votes to pass and this is a big one. The league will adopt expanded replay assist. Finally. Yes. This would allow officials to take another look
Starting point is 00:18:03 at basically The old personal fouls, you know, like hey should there have been a face mask here? Like remember like it seems like every year there's at least two or three like really Egregious like blatant face mask calls where the guys head gets almost yanked off that just go uncalled Yeah, you know It's like to look at that and apparently the big one here is to look at unnecessary roughness calls. Not necessarily look for more. It has been confirmed by Diana Rusini that expanded
Starting point is 00:18:34 replay assist gives the officials the ability to pick up flags as well. For example two quarterbacks that come to mind, Patrick Mahomes and even worse than him, actually, Josh Allen. Quarterbacks who scramble, hug the sideline, and then once a player comes near them, they duck out of bounds and then fall, obviously drawing a flag. And you know, Mahomes, now don't get me wrong, right? Mahomes is one of the softer quarterbacks in the league. I don't mean that in terms of play style. I just mean like how he will blatantly flop, but don't get me wrong, Josh Allen does it too.
Starting point is 00:19:10 And he honestly does it more. Does it get nearly the hate for it? And that is just that's Charmin soft, I tell you what. But that, so I feel like there's gonna be no more of that. You know, cause expanded replay assist will actually hurt these teams. They're like, oh, it's gonna result in more flags. Like, bet you anything is gonna result
Starting point is 00:19:31 in more flags being picked up. And just my two cents on this, I think that the lead doesn't go far enough. I think that if you flop and try to draw a flag, that should be on sports and like conduct 15 yard call, but whatever. They basically, like I hate to bring up other sports and The NBA all actually all levels of basketball never mind the NBA If you flop then you're given a flopping warning which gets thrown into a scorebook and if you do it again, then it's a technical foul or if you do flop and It's egregious enough. Then the officials will just tech you immediately
Starting point is 00:20:22 At least that's what I've seen in the NBA. I've seen Christoph Porzingis get called for a couple times, or at least once earlier this year. The NHL also has an embellishment penalty as well where they will still call the aggressive party for the penalty that they would have called, but they also put the victim in the box for embellishing the penalty that they would have called, but they also put in, put the victim in the box for embellishing the penalty.
Starting point is 00:20:50 So, but obviously the NFL would have to find a way to, they would have to charge the embellishing party and not the aggressive party in that case. Yeah. Yeah, Tom Pelicero also tweeted out last night yesterday. NFL owners passed a resolution allowing the league to flex Sunday games to Thursday night with 21 days noticed. Just one game was flexed over the past two seasons via a temporary resolution that allowed it with 28 days notice today's vote keeps Thursday night football flex in the tools in the toolbox How about we just give it a Thursday night games all together
Starting point is 00:21:36 Yeah, I agree also Flexing games is stupid in general. I'm so tired. So, you know, this game might be flexed to whatever this no Why no make a schedule and stick to it. I In I like the flex in the case of like like the Detroit Lions Minnesota Vikings Week-18 game like that got flexed to be a Sunday Night Football game because of the stakes that there were around the game like if there are high stakes for
Starting point is 00:22:13 For a potential matchup later on in the season I'm all for flexing which is what they basically already do for week 17 and 18 anyways with with how the league utilizes Saturdays for those last two weeks of the year. So I I'm fine with that. Or in the case of like two seasons ago with the Patriots and the Chiefs getting flexed out of Monday night football to regular Sunday one o'clock game. I'm fine with stuff as a Patriots fan. I was fine with that because That that team is dogshit. I mean the team's been dogshit the last two years, but yeah, I
Starting point is 00:22:55 mean look I I never really hated the whole being flexed out of prime time cuz honestly just like as a fan This one silver lining of not rooting for a good team is that you don't have to deal with prime time games and I know I'm in a very small minority but god I hate prime time games so much because I mean god forbid you got work or you know when I was in college like I got class tomorrow and I was like oh boy 8 a.m. And my teams play. Ah hell It's just yeah, God. It's obnoxious. You know, then of course like I said when you get older it's now work do you imagine if Chris is like what we do like really went on during the football season, you know, you got a
Starting point is 00:23:38 Let's say a 10 call time, you know 10 a.m. Call time and then you Really like put your teams playing in primeetime that games product it over till like midnight You gotta get your full eight hours and copy and join me and he got a drive an hour to work Then what I know I sound like a boomer doing this. I'm sorry kids, but that's just me. I Think it's a lot of people. I Think it's a lot of people hmm
Starting point is 00:24:04 Although one the one thing that I do have been enjoying about the NFL, especially with Monday Night Football is the double Monday night set with one game at least kicking off at seven o'clock and the other game kicking off at 8 815. I do enjoy that. So then I can at least catch one Monday night game. Possibly. Yeah. We're going to take a quick break when we come back. Jimmy Haslam finally speaking out on the Deshaun Watson fiasco that has been the last couple of seasons.
Starting point is 00:24:39 This is the Full Marouski Podcast. It may not have always showed it in the staff sheet, but you can see him making throws when he needs to make the throws. Back to back games where he has three touchdowns. Someone's got to get that six or seven spot. He's an elite wide receiver as a rookie. Truly a lose-lose scenario for both sides. Welcome back from Boruska podcast, Chris Kostich, CJ Medeiros. podcast Chris Kostich CJ Medeiros Jimmy Haslam finally was asked about his thoughts on Deshaun Watson and he said a big swing animus I think that's probably one of the finer ways to describe the Deshaun Watson and the Deshaun Watson Brown's tenure up to this point, that it was a massive swing and a miss. And you know, when you're the Browns back in 22, and you trade for Deshaun Watson, amongst all of the scandals that are coming out about Deshaun Watson.
Starting point is 00:25:48 It was a massive risk to. Be had at that point, and as a reminder, so the Browns traded away three first round picks, a third round pick and two fourth round picks for Deshaun Watson back in 2022, a massive, massive, massive haul for Deshaun Watson, who was playing some very good ball up to that point, by the way, I do still wanna preface that, he was still playing some very, very good ball. And the Brown said, you know what?
Starting point is 00:26:21 We know that he's got some sexual misconduct, shit going on, sexual assault allegations, but let's trade three first round picks, a third rounder and two fourth rounders and let's also send him a five-year, $230 million contract after we get once he steps foot into Cleveland as well and It's just it's terrible. It's been terrible ever since Deshaun Watson has played no more than seven games in a season for the Browns and that's including the 22 season when he originally got treated and he was suspended for what the first 12 games of the year 11 or 12. Yeah, first 11 or 12 games and since then
Starting point is 00:27:11 He's only played just 19 of a possible 51 games in three seasons with the Browns Swing and a miss, a total catastrophe, a total... I don't even know what other words to describe. I think in the last couple years that I've been on the show, We've used every single phrase, caption, one experience in Cleveland has I personally think swinging This isn't swinging a miss.
Starting point is 00:28:01 This is a whole strikeout. You gave up to play. Rounders for the guy. You gave him a five year, $230 million contract just to get 19 out of 51 games and a record of nine and 10. Like really, like look, look. I'm not gonna sit here and pretend the allure wasn't there in his last season starting sure he went 4 and 12 we are remember that
Starting point is 00:28:32 was more of a Texans thing than a Watson thing right yeah the little bros on his way out it was a it looked really bad right and understandably so but he still had a 70.2 percent completion percentage 4823 passing yards 33 touchdowns and seven picks he had shown a lot in his time in Houston But the first red flag was that I'm sure you know I think Houston either picked up his fifth year option or like I think just tagged him and I think Houston either picked up his fifth year option or like I think just tagged him. And he told them, I really don't want, keep in mind, like I said,
Starting point is 00:29:09 with all those stats I just listed, he went four and 12. And to be fair, Watson saw the writing on the wall. He knew that this team was gonna be garbage. So he said, I really don't wanna be here anymore. So he sat out all of 2021. So that in and of itself, that's a red flag because when you get him back,
Starting point is 00:29:27 there's gonna be some rust, right? It was unavoidable. And then you trade for him in the midst of the fact that over 20 massage therapists had accused him of sexual assault. What? No, like at that point, why would you do that? And not just that, you give up three firsters? And then you give them that contract and honestly Cleveland Yeah, I don't even feel bad right now. You know how the Browns are always just the lovable losers
Starting point is 00:29:54 You can't even call them that anymore because they literally gave the second coming of bad Roethlisberger all that money except the difference was Roethlisberger is actually good. So burger all that money except the difference was Ralph's burgers actually good so I mean, then there's just Watson who's creepy and just an awful QB to boot So you can't even justify it like to be fair I don't think you could justify Ralph's burger at all, but you really can't justify Watson Like I said never broke 1500 yards in a season never threw for double-digit touchdowns in fact Just last season alone, I
Starting point is 00:30:27 don't even think he crossed 200 yards in a passing in a game. I don't even, did he even play more than four games? He played seven and amassed a one-in-six record. That's right. And even if you didn't have all the sexual misconduct allegations, because that's the crux of this, right? Why would you trade for him? Because look, even if you didn't, even if you didn't, then still this is an awful trade. Yeah. Because like he just can't stay healthy. You've ruined any organizational credibility you've had you've
Starting point is 00:31:07 Just you've given your fans another kick while they're down and Do you know what the worst part about this is that literally nobody talks about but I'm about to Please they screwed over Baker Mayfield for this Baker Mayfield and don't give me that whole, oh, well, he was coming off a down year. He was literally playing through like a shoulder tear or something for the team.
Starting point is 00:31:33 He literally played, put his body on the line and played through an injury for you. So yeah, obviously, you know, he wasn't gonna look that great considering the fact he led them to their first playoff win since, the fact that he actually, you know, he wasn't going to look that great considering the fact he led them to their first playoff win since I can't tell you when since well before I
Starting point is 00:31:52 was born. Uh so yeah, that's just the icing on the cake and now you look at Baker who's playing lights out in Tampa already gave the Bucks a playoff win.s a playoff win. So a playoff win plus multiple playoff appearances. Yes, true.
Starting point is 00:32:10 So honestly, if you're the Browns, just I don't know what you do. Because here's the thing. Watson's been in quick. He's entering his fourth season. So you still got two more years of Watson. And then what like I mean are you gonna draft the QB this draft or whispers they might I personally don't
Starting point is 00:32:29 think they should but yeah and I just this is more of those things where the only thing that can heal your position is just time you know like you unless you find someone who's willing to take on his contract, which I don't think there will be. I mean, I'd be shocked if there was. Then I think you're just kind of screwed. No, not kind of. You are. It's just, and it sucks too, because before all those allegations and all those that awful
Starting point is 00:33:00 stuff came out, he looked really good as a quarterback. You know, he was playing really well and oh, that just, you know, like he went to Cleveland and then got all those allegations. Everything just went downhill. The thing was for Watson, this was preventable to just, you know, don't be a pervert. You know, that seems pretty self-explanatory. And then, you know, it's something that you think I wouldn't have to say, and yet here we are. Yeah, I just, let's see, if you're LeBron's,
Starting point is 00:33:35 forget about rebuilding the team. Just rebuild your credibility at this point. Like I said, you can't even call LeBron's the lovable losers anymore, after they've literally had like that monster in their locker room So yeah, and Jimmy Haslam was like, all right point the finger at me and my wife because you know She's like the co-owner and it's like well, yeah, obviously if he had any
Starting point is 00:33:58 Sense of dignity and responsibility that he thought he had if he even had half of it. He'd sell the team Those fans deserve better man. Yeah I mean we well we said it a couple months ago or month or so ago Sometimes you need a new owner to get into the right direction and look where look what washington did They got a new owner and now they're in the right direction True true Anything else you want to touch on surrounding this sir does uh Yeah, there's
Starting point is 00:34:35 Just like in general or surrounding this surrounding this there's some other there's like One other thing that I wanted to touch on before we ended the show But I wanted to see if there was anything else you wanted to talk about No, there's one thing. I do want to touch on but I might be the same thing Are were you gonna talk about Aaron Rodgers? Yeah, I was okay Lot of pause Courtney and Rapaport a lot of positivity surrounding those Steelers and Aaron Rodgers but no final word just yet.
Starting point is 00:35:06 And this is coming off of, this is him retweeting a tweet from Gary Dulac. Art Rooney the second said he has a good feeling about Aaron Rodgers and the signs are pointing in that direction of him signing with the Steelers. Yeah, that's basically it. However, he also said, Rooney said that he will not wait forever for Rogers to make a decision.
Starting point is 00:35:32 So just because he's Aaron Rodgers doesn't mean that he's not on the clock either. Yeah. Aaron Rodgers was also seen training with DK Metcalf out in California as well yesterday. Once again, at this point, you got to just rip the bandaid off, Rogers, and just go to Pittsburgh because obviously he's just going to let this play out because he likes to be mysterious.
Starting point is 00:36:00 Yeah. Yeah Speaking of quarterbacks Mike Garofalo Reported 49ers owner Jed York told me on rock Purdy deal. I don't think we're that far apart I think we could sit down and get something done whenever he's ready We're ready and then he retweeted it and said York said the Niners committed to Purdy long-term During internal discussions last year and wish they could have done it sooner When guys with NIL are making more than a third year NFL Pro There's something wrong with the system not being able to extend guys earlier in the NFL Don't really
Starting point is 00:36:38 Don't really know how NIL comes into play at this point because that's more of a college issue, but okay. But basically the point being though of this reporting is that the Niners are looking to secure Brock Purdy long term at this point. So he's the guy in San Francisco. You can debate on if he truly is the guy I feel like that This next couple years are going to determine that maybe even this next year Considering how the Niners are starting to look right now
Starting point is 00:37:28 Because McCaffrey can't stay healthy. He's got this mysterious Achilles thing going on right now. George Kittle, Lord knows how much longer he's got left. No more Debo who is already on a downturn anyways. Brandon Iyuk, although Iyuk just got, well, I'm sorry. So Iyuk just got an extension? Or what was what was the news about I that Adam sent to us the other day? Oh yeah. Yeah. Well, actually
Starting point is 00:37:50 it's today. Today's the day that if an I you trade were to happen, it'd be now because the Niners are hesitant about swallowing his cap hit pause, but. But yeah, so if he were to be moved, I know some teams are sniffing around him, then it would happen today
Starting point is 00:38:08 Okay So at the moment you have IU but chances are when we stop record it's currently 1212 right now here on April 1st So there's gonna be a chance that if once we stop recording this episode say when we post it later tonight When we post later tonight, it's The deal may be done. So I think that or not That that would suck that would suck for us Because then I wouldn't be able to hop on for an emergency recording like we did for Stefan Diggs Yeah, which was great because we hop because the news broke five minutes after we stopped recording Speaking of Stefan Diggs. He will be wearing number eight for the Patriots. Wait, did that just come out? Yes when
Starting point is 00:38:57 like couple minutes ago, I didn't see it. Well it was somebody that posted the Patriots roster and he was what he was listed as number eight I would have I don't know how I feel about that. I was it's an interesting number Maybe it'll look good with the potential new jerseys that the Patriots may be coming out with Possibly did you see that? Alex whatever his name is cornerback for the Patriots Austin Alex Austin Retweeted someone saying something about New Jersey's and he said
Starting point is 00:39:33 Won't be won't be too long. No, I didn't see that. But hey, maybe maybe maybe I'm hoping I'm hoping yeah Because the jerseys the Patriots have now suck Maybe I'm hoping I'm hoping yeah Because the jerseys the Patriots have now suck I mean I think they're fine I would just prefer with the silver pants Yeah So the pants better only only the silver pants All right then well That came out wrong yeah, I came out wrong you know what I mean you know what I mean What would your ideal Patriots uniform look like I don't know I can't describe this it's a show. I mean it's a more of a visual thing. I don't know
Starting point is 00:40:19 Here here's my Hope is that it's kind of a mix. Here's my hope is you got like okay, I can get behind that. So like you got the the modern Patriots colors but it's in the style of the nineties jerseys with the with the flying Elvis going down the shoulder. Yeah
Starting point is 00:40:47 That'd be sick Yeah with the red alternate Oh Hold on Red Flying out red jerseys flying Elvis down the sleeve for the alternate one of the alternates I can do that That'd be sick. That'd be sick nice One of the alternates I can do that. That'd be sick. That'd be sick nice That's all the schedule content we have for today cj got anything else before you end the show Uh, nope.
