Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Sometimes you bet the underdogs.

I'm betting a heavy favorite. Four NBA first rounders, best coach, and you know what they are? They're playing for something. That's a big deal. They are playing for that coach. you can see those kids around Coach K, like they are giddy. You know, it's one thing. Imagine, and we've been talking about legacy all day.

Imagine being a part of the Duke team that won that championship for Coach K. You're minted for life. And if Carolina did beat Duke, could they reach, if they face Kansas, say, or Villanova, especially Kansas, I think Kansas is going to beat Villanova. So let's say Carolina does beat Duke. Could they reach that emotional height a day and a half later against Kansas? I don't think they can. So to me,

Duke's the best team. Kansas is the second best bet because Villanova's falling apart. So they should win sort of an unemotional, not super close game, getting to the final and waiting for either supercharged Duke or super flat Carolina post Duke. So I'm taking the Dukies. All right. Mike Silver co-host Pass It Down podcast with his daughter, Natalie, covered 28 to the 56 Super Bowls. So the NFL, they have their NFL owner meetings. And they change rules and everybody talks and Belichick avoids the photo.

It's all the same stuff. But there was an interesting story where Steve Bouchard, even talked about it yesterday. He said, you know, the Browns paying all that money to Deshaun Watson is not great for the league. That's not the guy you should pay all the money for. What is your takeaway in that whole Cleveland situation? Well, first of all, he might be right that if you had to map it out, Deshawn Watson wouldn't be the guy who should set that precedent, but in general, thoughts and prayers. I'm so sorry that Steve Boshadhi and his fellow billionaires whose franchises have appreciated another $100 billion during this segment, basically, and who are guaranteed a profit every year and who have not had to pay guaranteed contracts for the entirety of the

their ownership might now have to start guaranteeing franchise quarterback contracts, even as there's a mechanism in the CBA to keep them from losing them ever because of the franchise tax. So from a labor relations standpoint, I hope everybody who's as good as Deshaun Watson shakes down the owners and gets guaranteed money. I am somewhat sympathetic to, if we were mapping it out, you wouldn't pick the guy who's, involved in these current off-the-field scandals. But, you know, it is what it is. Yeah, no.

So Jim Ursay, I'll say this for Jim Ursay. He is authentic. I mean, he just basically came out and said, Jacksonville stinks. We didn't. It was an oh my God moment. I went and talked to veteran players, and this thing was sideways.

We had a bad locker room. What did you make of him saying that publicly? Well, I know Jim Ursay really well. First of all, I just want to underscore the fact that Jim Ursay knows ball. He came up as a ball boy originally and tried to learn the trade, but he was a general manager. And other than Jerry Jones, who made himself general manager, there's nobody else in this league who's an owner who has been in that chair and understands how hard it is to, you know,

put a team together. And so he has a lot of credibility to me. Now, I spent a bunch of time with him in the fall, and I wrote for Bally Sports leading into that Jacksonville game about their recent struggles down there. And Jim Mersey, I would encourage people to go back and read that article. He kind of saw it coming. He said, look, I know we're supposed to win this game, but I've got all these bad memories. We don't take it for granted. this is a real, real challenge, and we need to be at our, you know, we need to be tip top here to get this done.

And apparently his players and maybe coaches didn't read that story because it's one thing to lose to Jacksonville with a playoff berth on the line. But to come out flat and just get rolled, it's an embarrassment. And obviously, he wasn't thrilled with Frank Reich at the time. and I understand that. And clearly he wasn't thrilled with Carson Wentz. But he's absolutely right. The no disrespect to Jacksonville is funny because it is disrespectful, but they deserve to be disrespectful.

Right. They hired, or disrespect it. They hired Urban Meyer. He was a fiasco. They had an interim. And as Jim Ursay said in his quotes, they had every reason to have the engines running in the parking lot and start mailing it in if they got behind in the first quarter. And instead, the Colts came out flat.

and let them take over a game and miss the playoffs because of it. You know, it's interesting. There's owners like Steve Boshadhi, and I think he's a very good owner, you know, they don't like the market changing beneath their feet. But a lot of markets changed. The guaranteed money for Deshaun, five picks for Tyreek Hill, Devonte Adams' contract with the Raiders. And, you know, listen, all this gambling money's starting to come in,

everything is changing. The rules now make wide receivers one in one A to quarterbacks. They deserve to get more. They didn't 10 years ago. The Devante Adams move is interesting, though, because Tom Silverstein writing in Green Bay had an article last week, and it was really interesting. And he's like, listen, Aaron knew when he signed that contract. You know, Devante was leaving. And Joy and I talked about this earlier.

I know you went to Cal and Aaron did. I get it. But, you know, Joy said something earlier. If Matt Stafford peeled off a couple more Super Bowls in the next five years, and Aaron, because of his contract, they can't get it right in the weapons. They can't afford it. Where are you at with Aaron? I know you, I know you're a fan of Aaron.

It's awfully hard to blame Aaron's contract for the Packers' lack of aggressiveness. They were gifted by the football gods back-to-back, first ballot Hall of Fame quarterbacks for three plus decades unheard of in the NFL. Montana Young was a much shorter period. And they stayed passive and built through the draft and didn't trade for Marshawn Lidge and basically just sat back and let Brett Farb and Aaron Rogers try to be transcendent. And they've won two Super Bowls during that time. And it's an organizational underachievement of epic proportions.

And Aaron finally got sick of that and almost left. And yeah, now he wants his money, but it's not Aaron's fault that they can't pay or won't go all in like the Rams and Bucks have. And I'm not saying that's the only way to do it. But I think when you have a shrinking window with a transcendent quarterback, the best thing is to go all in. And because the Rams and Bucks have been validated over the last two years, of people are now starting to see it like I do, including NFL teams, and they're saying, let's go, let's load up, let's maximize this window. The Packers kind of are doing that, but they're still kind of not. So if Aaron knew that Devante was leaving, they better have a

plan to get more aggressive either in terms of trades or bargain-free agents and or the draft, but they better get them some weapons. And if they don't, I don't want to hear that, Tom Brady took less. We don't know what Tom Brady took off the books. I'll just say that. It's awfully easy to just say, you know, now the quarterback makes a lot of money. Yeah, Aaron Rogers, if anything, is underpaid in terms of what his actual value is to that franchise. So if you're the Packers, either be at peace with your passivity or figure it out and start doing what Jason Light and Sean McVeigh and others are.

doing and get after it. Hey, so the Tyreek Hill move is crazy. I think Kansas City is going to be just fine. A lot of picks, smart people, they'll be fine. He is a one-on-one player. There's nothing else like him in the league. I guess, you know, it's funny when they fired Brian Flores. I was like, I don't know.

He's pretty good. But I will say this. The Dolphins did something very quickly. They have pivoted in an off-season from a deep. defensive organization to an offensive organization. I got to be honest this morning, I like him more today than I did a year ago, and I liked Flores. What was your takeaway on the move? Yeah, I mean, I think you and I agree that Flores did not deserve to get fired based on his coaching.

He's a very good coach, and he arguably overachieve there with what they had. In terms of organizational tone and leadership style, it was not a great fit. they're not going to have that issue with Mike McDaniel, who is a brilliant offensive mind, and will maximize those new weapons, including Tyree Kill and Rahim Mosterd, if he's healthy, and possibly, you know, get more out of Tua than we think is possible, or get Teddy Bridgewater rolling. But, you know, we don't know how it's going to turn out. We know the bills are on paper, the class of not only that division, but, possibly the league. But, you know, I'm excited that they're getting after it. And you look at the

Patriots who spent money last year and have been strangely, you know, passive since then. And I certainly think the dolphins on paper are the second best team in that division. And I don't think it's close. No, I'm the same way. I don't even think it's close. Hey, so the owners in between sipping champagne and having caviar, in between that down at the breakers. They did make an overtime rule change. Now, they didn't go all the way, but they looked at data and said, well, once you get to the playoffs, if you win the coin flip, you win the game, because it's all the best quarterbacks in the league in the playoffs. Were you okay with them sort of moving the football, but not necessarily going all in? You know, I don't know. I have to

really give overtime some thought. What I don't believe is that, um, somehow this rule would have saved us from the chief's bills ending that everybody's upset about, just like they're upset about Mahomes not getting the ball a few years ago in the championship game against Brady. By the way, the Patriots won a Super Bowl against the Falcons on the first possession after a coin flip. But at some point, we just got to live with the fact that somebody's going to win a game. And so I don't know that sudden death is the answer. I don't like a field goal just winning it. But when a team punts or gets intercepted on the first possession of overtime, like think

of Chiefs Bengals in the championship game this year. As soon as the Bengals got the ball back, whether that was an interception of Mahomes long pass or if that had gone incomplete and there had been a punt, it felt like, oh, man, they just need a couple of first downs and they're totally going to win this game. And I know people don't like that feeling like, ah, these defenses have no chance. They're going to get scored on. But at some point, we just have to come to terms of the fact that a game is a game. It's going to end.

And somebody's going to win. And I guarantee if this new rule were in place and you go back to that Chiefs Bill's game, OK, Chiefs win the toss. Mahomes marches them right down the field. Touchdown, extra point, kickoff. Josh Allen marches them right down the field. Touchdown extra point or touchdown extra point. kickoff. Okay, Mahomes gets them into field goal range. Field goal. Game over. There'd be people

freaking out going, this rule's not fair. Because, see, the Chiefs, they scored, and which we knew, and then the Bills, they scored, and then all the Chiefs had to do was kick a field goal. So you either have to go to a college-like system or figure out a way that it ends, but, you know, I'm also sensitive to these players' bodies. They are putting a lot on the line. They're very tired. And so at least, I agree in the regular season, don't do, don't make it longer. I also, the two possession thing in the regular season, but shortening it to 10 minutes was stupid in the first place. It's like one team could do a long scoring drive and then there's like two minutes to go

and you've got to come back and score. There's just so many inconsistencies, but I don't know that I know the answer perfectly either. I just guarantee people will still whine about it when it's touchdown, touchdown, field goal, which is going to happen at some point in a playoff. I mean, let's be honest. You put in 64 teams to March Madness and all the college basketball, unless complain, because, you know, Vermouth State didn't get in and you're like, they're like, be like a nine seat.

Who cares? I tell people this all time with college football. Everybody goes, let's take it from four to 12. You and I know, the more people you let into the country club, the more people that think they should be in the country club. I didn't for Moose State like take St. Peter's down to the wire this year, if I'm not mistaken? Yeah, roast beef tech, Panera bread. They were all in it, folks, depending on the conference. Mike Silver, good seeing you, bud.

Thanks, man. Yeah, somebody told me that years ago, because we were talking about this, about teams getting in. And the coaches love March Madness being 100 teams. because then the coaches can go to their athletic directors and say, hey, I made the tournament nine straight years. Yeah, you're a 500 coach. I make the tournament every year. Everybody wants the playoff because it gives more coaches a chance to say,

you can't fire me. I went seven and five. I made the playoff. But the more people you let into a country club, it's like a Hall of Fame. The more you let in, you increase the arguments. Like the minute, let's say, for instance, quarterback, you let Matt Hassel back in. Certainly you could have a discussion over it.

But then you have Dan Marino, John Elway, and Matt Hasselbeck in the same hall. Well, if you're going to let him in, there's going to be like 12 guys that say, okay, okay. And I like Matt, and he's been a very good career. And you could argue about it. But if you keep the Hall of Fame tight, it really, okay, are we on a first, do we know who you are the minute we say your name? Jerry Rice, Hall of Famer. You start going to guys that are like, yeah, they were like a four-time all pro.

well, then you open the door up. And so to me with overtime, first score keeps it simple. Make a play either side of the ball. Just make a play. So the minute you start giving up stuff, don't give people, the other thing I always think about is, you know, my theory has always been on overtime. The road team gets the, because if you go on the road in the NFL,

and after 12 possessions, the home team can't beat you, the road team gets the decision. decision on if they want the ball or not. If they had a great defense, defense. Because what that would do, it would force both teams to be super aggressive with a minute and a half left in regulation. Right. Because what you don't want is create this thing where teams say, hey, we're both going to get a shot in overtime, take a knee. Well, I think in general, most teams do approach it that way. I want aggressive. Most teams do try to win during regulation, mostly because of the injury risk that you're adding by going into overtime.

Think if my sudden death style of it, which is first to score wins, if you're going up against the great quarterback and there's like 10 in the league and you're going up against them, you're like, well, we're not going to get the ball back. Our defense is tired. You're going to be super aggressive and just go for it. In that last couple drives, you're like, we got to go for it. We can't go overtime with Josh Allen. I just believe when you get into the postseason and it's a job.

different situation. Regular season, I'm with you. It should not change. But when you get into the postseason where it's winner go home, you have the best of the best going against each other. I understand it dilutes the idea of defense, but you can't have all the rules benefiting the offense and opening up the field the way that you do and protecting quarterbacks the way that you do and having these punitive penalties on defenses all the time and then saying your offense is not going to get a chance to get the ball. It's just, there's a certain level of fairness that has to exist. Be sure to catch live editions of the herd Weekdays in noon Eastern 9 a.m. Pacific.

I'm down to talk about crack on day, but just so y'all know.

I mean, at this point, Mark, this is the second episode where we've discussed crack, so I'm starting to see that there's a through line. We also have AIDS on the table right now, so. Thank you for finishing that sentence. Yes. I don't think there's a more important year for black people. Really? Yeah.

Sometimes when we're in the pursuit of the thing, We get so wrapped up in the chase that we don't realize that we are in possession of the thing and we're still chasing it and we don't know when we've done enough. Because people scoreboard watch.

Life becomes about wins and losses. Steve Burns, Dustin Ross, because you find it important to be a good person while you hear on earth, or are you a good person because you're afraid? Because that's two different intentions, bro. Absolutely. And that's two different levels of trust.

Turn on the news. This is the herd line news. Well, the NFL is still discussing whether Deshawn Watson will be disciplined under the league's personal conduct policy following his civil lawsuits. Roger Goodell confirmed at the league meetings this week that Watson is, still under investigation and there's no timetable for its conclusion. When he was asked specifically about the commissioner's exempt list, Skidl said the lack of criminal charges make that unlikely.

So that means the Sean will continue to be available for the Browns while the investigation is going. So what does this mean? That means currently he is available to play. And if and when these civil lawsuits are completed, which could be six months, could be three years. allegedly according to the commissioner, that is when the part of when the investigation will be finished and that's when he could be potentially suspended. Now, the length of the suspension is also up

for question because, as we know, the commissioner has control over these suspensions and they can vary from anywhere from Kareem Hunt, who got eight games in 2019, to Ben Rathesberger, who got four games for similar accusations in 2010. So we really have a lot of. We really have a no idea what's going to happen with Deshaun Watson this year, it is entirely possible he's not suspended at all of this year. It's all totally up in the air. Because the civil case, Deshaun Watson has said very publicly he is not going to settle any of these cases. Right. And it is not a class action suit. So each of these cases has to be either settled or handled individually all 22 of them. So there's an open timetable on what's going to happen with Deshaun Watson. What if he doesn't play

this year? He very well could not play this year. He could play the entire year and get suspended the next year. It's, it's, it's, you, we have no idea what's going to happen. So the Lions hold the second overall pick in next month's NFL draft, but they might not stay at that position. GM Brad Holmes said the team is open to moving the pick and they've already had discussions with a couple of teams looking to trade up. Last season, Detroit was in a similar position with the seventh overall pick and they had a lot of teams looking to take their spot, but ultimately they used that on Penae-Soul. So here is the draft order for the first, the top 20. The Jacksonville Jaguars have the first pick. Lions, Texans, Jets, Giants, Panthers, Giants, Falcons, Seahawks, Jets are the top 10.

It's curious to me who would want to move up that far, though? Well, like, because this is such a light draft, there is no stand-alone. It's not a big star draft. Yeah, the Jaguars can really use Aiden Hutchison for Michigan. That's a good. They got the quarterback and they upgraded weapons in free agency. So for them, it makes sense. Who moves up? Unless a team is really in on Malik Willis. My question is this. What position is that much of need for any of these, say, top 10 teams?

Okay, I'll throw it. Carolina, Matt Rule number six, says, listen, Darnold's a one and done. We've got to find the next guy. And I can't afford to tank because I'll get fired. Right. So he argues to his GM and his owner, I can make that kid work. So, Donald's a run-around guy to some degree.

Malik Willis, who played in that geographical footprint, he'll have fans. So I think Matt Ruhl can sell to his owner. The kid played around here. He is, we know Donald's not the future, but it'd be great if this kid could be, because Sam's got a good work ethic. He can run around. We can implement a lot of the same offense, Sam and Malik. So I think Carolina is going to take him.

And I don't think it's a bad move. But here's the thing. the new coach at Jacksonville, like even most of these coaches in here, a lot of these coaches, could like lose games next year. Carolina has to win games. So to me, they would be a team that's like, let's go up and get. Now, I don't think they're going to happen because the Jets, the Texans, the Lions, the Jacks are not taking a quarterback.

So I, maybe the Giants. Seahawks are interesting too. Seattle could because they know, they're thinking what we are about Carolina. And they need a quarterback. So I could say Seattle, I guess you. My answer to your question, Seattle moving up would make sense. Yes, or the Panthers does make sense as well, especially when we consider the situation. So Sean McVey and the Rams were looking at a pretty wide open NFC after Tom Brady announced his retirement from the NFL.

But he is back and the Bucks are right back in Super Bowl contention in the NFC. And Sean McVe joked about Brady's return when he was asked about it at the owner's meetings. Speaking to Tom, when he retired, what was your thought? And then when he was unretired, what was your thought about that? man, can we get this guy the hell out of this league? I don't blame him. Sean is great. It's really a great response. I mean, that's got to be what coaches and GMs around the league are thinking when Brady's back.

Like, man, can you give us a chance already? Yeah, that's like when LeBron left the east. It opened the door for Milwaukee. Totally opened the door for the bucks. It absolutely did. Joy with the news. So many tasty free agents. We'll rank our 10 favorite coming up.

And we don't know when we've done enough. Because people scoreboard watch. Life becomes about wins and losses.

Steve Burns, Dustin Ross, because you find it important to be a good person while you hear on earth? Are you a good person because you're afraid? Because that's two different intentions, bro.

Stiefel Financial Advisors, S-T-I-F-E-L. So, Joy, we've had a lot of free agent moves. The NFL's taken a page from the NBA where player mobility and empowerment, and a lot of times owners and coaches don't like it, but it is nice to be able to solve your problems in the off-season. Isn't it? not just players moving, superstars moving everywhere. So here's my 10 most impactful move.

So we'll talk about this. So I think Vaughn Miller to the Bills is 10. He is fastest prime, but he had an unbelievable postseason. And this is why it matters, because they're going to lead most of their football games with Josh Allen. So they got him to be a pass rusher with three minutes left. And that's where it was of great value to the Rams. You're not going to get him to play 17 games.

You didn't get him for the first quarter. You got him against Mahomes and Herbert and Lamar Jackson in a big game leading with three minutes left. Number nine, Amari Cooper to the Browns. Five of his seven years, I know he's a boring guy as a receiver. He's not flashy. Five of his seven years, a thousand yards. Learns the playbook, one of the best technicians in the NFL. Dallas, for some reason, is convinced he's not that valuable.

look at the splits with that Prescott, with him and without him. His passer raining plummets. Number eight, Alan Robinson to the Rams. Listen, Cooper Cups, the volume guy. Alan Robinson is going to be Matt Stafford's jump ball guy. Great in traffic. A big, strong receiver, you can throw that ball up to.

They've also got OBJ and Van Jefferson. When you have an offensive coach, you can not have enough elite receivers. Alan Robinson. If you've not seen him, he didn't like the production in Chicago. He didn't think they used him enough. They'll use him in L.A. Number seven, J.C. Jackson to the Chargers.

Only NFL player with eight plus picks in the last two years. Listen, in that division, with all Denver's weapons, and now you got Devonte Adams in the division, and Kansas City's got their guys. You need a number one corner, and the Chargers with Herbert's contract said, let's go get a playmaker.

He is a big, physical. playmaking corner. Number six, Carson Wentz. Now, I know Joey doesn't love him. You guys out there don't like him. They had four one possession losses last year, and they were terrible at quarterback. Is he reckless? Yeah.

Can you coach him hard? They say no. But he is 6.5, 2.30, athletic with a big arm. In this division, you put him in the AFC West, he wouldn't have an impact. You put him in this division, there's an argument to be made. He's the best quarterback. Number five move, Tyreek Hill to the Dolphins. Again, why is it big?

Because they have Jalen Waddle. And they have an offensive coach. And because they're trying to figure out if two is the guy. This is as much about two as anything else. If you can't win big with this offense, you got the wrong quarterback. Number four, Deshaun Watson to the Browns. Now, I'd probably have it higher, but he may not play this year. I think there's a lot to shake out here.

He's not going to be able to just win. Baker Mayfield got him to the playoffs. So this contract is not worth it. it if he just gets him to the playoffs. And this division's way better today than yesterday. Way better today than a year ago. So I think he's better than Baker. He's tremendous.

We got, as Joy said, civil lawsuit. We have a suspension. It's so murky right now. But if the suspension is September and we're on our way, it'll be impactful. But more impactful, three is Matt Ryan to the Colts. Listen, since he entered the league, He's got the most game-winning drives in the sport. I know you don't believe that.

He's also tied with Brady with the most 20-plus touchdown past years since he came into the sport. He is really reliable. He's not real mobile, fairly stoic, but he's good pre-snap. He's a grinder. He's committed. He's an adult. And they just got out of a very, I would call toxic quarterback space.

That is the opposite of Matt Ryan. Is he a little expensive? Yeah, but who? are they paying? They're not paying Michael Pittman. They're not paying Jonathan Taylor. I mean, they're not really paying. They're paying, they don't have a big expensive receiver anymore. So it makes sense. And he is what the doctor ordered brings down the temperature in the room. Number two, and I would have been shocked if I'd have done this five years ago, a wide receiver. I think Devante Adams is a home run for the Raiders. First of all, he's one of the hardest

working guys. He's a great locker room guy. And what makes this special, there's a cable quarterback to get in the ball. A lot of times you'll see these wide receiver moves like Tyreek Hill. We're not sure we like the quarterback. So I got a big time quarterback, arguably the best slot receiver in Hunter Renfro, the second best tied end in Darren Waller, an offensive coach,

and a running game in Josh Jacobs. They're not going to ask him to catch 140 balls. They're going to ask him to slide in to a highly capable offense that's already got weapons at every level. Slot, tight end, back, quarterback. So there's not going to be this immense pressure of 17 targets and 12 catches like Green Bay. He is going to slide in perfectly. Great guy.

Great work ethic. It's going to be gigantic. And number one, come on, let's be honest here. My guy. Russell Wilson finally gets an offensive coach. He finally gets a star running back. Last time he had one, Marshawn Lynch, how good were they? He gets lots and lots of interesting parents.
