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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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
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,
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,
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
