The Benny Awards are this weekend, the greatest weekend in

To this show and make this show a show.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
So that'll be coming up on Sunday night into Monday,
but you'll be able to vote starting later this hour.
We'll be able to vote. We'll go over all the nominees,
all the different categories. We have more categories this year
than I think we've ever had for the show. We've
added some new categories because of things that happened in
the last year. So we'll have that for you to

To win that.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
Also there will be an online vote. We'll get into
the minutia of all that coming up in a little bit.
But our lead this hour, it's all sporty all the time.
We start out in Foxburg, now Indianapolis, the Combine.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
Everyone's flown into Indianapolis.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
There'll be some meet and greets with the media starting
later today, and then the on field activity will get
started in a couple of days and go all the
way through Sunday, which is really just offseason filler. If
you love the Cone drill boy, this is a big week.
For man, if you're just a football hard, oh man.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
This is it.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
This is the bee's knees, here, the cat's pajamas, all
that crap. How exciting for the rest of us. It's
all about the rumor. It's all about the rumor. So
our lead from the Patriots, who are one of the
teams expected to be the most active over the next
couple of weeks because they have a lot of picks
and they have a lot of cash allegedly to burn

(04:26):
depending on how many massages Robert Craft's gotten at the
orchards of Asia day Spot. So so, if you haven't heard
the latest on this, perhaps not. Under the new regime
led by Mike Vrabel, the adult in the room, Mike
Vrabel there, the Patriots are plotting to aggressively pursue The
word of the hour is aggressively. But they're plotting to

(04:46):
aggressively pursue a trade for a wide receiver. That is
the latest scuttle butt about the Patriots plans here. And
the big question is who who is it going to be?
Is gonna be Deebo Sa of the forty nine ers,
how about Stefan Diggs, who would not be a trade
but done free agent there from the Texans. Cooper Cup

(05:09):
would be a trade from the Rams. So let us
discuss the question. We're gonna play the match game, and
we love playing the match game. So Mike Rabel expected
to lead the Patriot off season contingent here aggressively pursuing
a receiver. The question for the esteem panel, which you're
a part of, who is a good match for the

(05:30):
Patriots who they realistically.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Have a chance of getting.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
So I've got mousetrap, Kamala Harris, and cattle wrangling, and
we will combine all of these things together and we're
gonna put some money into a vending machine and get
a delicious snack.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Is what we're going to do, all right, That's what
we're gonna all right.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
So to kick off the facivities, to answer the question
you're advising the Patriots, who do you go after aggressively
pursuing I love the verbiage we get this time of
the year, so unsolicited malor advice. You immediately start working
the phones. You start sending text messages to Cincinnati is

(06:13):
what you do here. Because they are a bunch of
tight ones. Now they're talking the good game. They got
more money they're gonna keep everyone together. Does anyone actually
believe that to be true? Does anyone believe they're gonna
keep that team together in Cincinnati? I'll believe it when
I see it. I doub't buy it. It's old family money,
and old family money does not go big. They save

(06:36):
that money for nice exotic vacations in private planes and
those fourth and fifth and sixth and seven thousand is
what they do. So here's the plan if you're the Patriots,
because the question the iPod, you know, the theory here
that we're working with is how to help the Patriots out?
So you use intermediaries is what you do. Go betweens

(06:57):
and you set up a mouse trap and you put
a big wad of delicious cheese in that mouse trap,
right you put that right there, You put the cheese in,
and if they happen to bite, okay, if they happen
to bite, New England can, then they can.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
They can work under the table, work out a deal.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
You're not gonna give up the top five pick in
the draft at the Patriots emp.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
You make the.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
Trade and under under the table here and franchise tagged T.
Higgins is the guy that you want and so oh
you you have to go two first round picks.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
No, you don't.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
Cincinnati will make a deal. They don't want to pay.
They can't pay everybody. They could, but they don't want to.
So you can get them for pennies on the doll
They take away the franchise tag, and then they trade
T Higgins for like a second round pick and a
third and a conditional pick.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Done, boom. You gotta pay him. But that's the guy.
That's the guy.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
Now outside of that, if T Higgins is off the table,
I don't think he is. But assuming in the multiverse
that we're in a dimension where T. Higgins does stay
in Cincinnati, then I pivot to Sleepless in Seattle and
I say, hey, you got a guy named DK Metcalf there,
and you're paying this guy thirty million dollars a year,
and you got a suck bag quarterback in Gino Smith

(08:20):
who can't get him the ball.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Right, and you're not even targeting him.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
He's not getting the proper amount of targets for a
thirty million dollars wide out, So why don't we take
him off your hands and we'll send you some draft
picks and send you you know, some some other crap,
and then we'll take DK Metcalf under used in Seattle.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
That's the guy right there. You will get him.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
He's mostly a decoy because of that stumblebum Gino Smith.
And if not DK, then I pivot to the land
of Gumbo, and I say, you know, the Saints, they're
not really in it to winner anymore. And then you
got some receivers down there, Chris Olave, right, why not
him go out and make that move, go down that road.

(09:03):
You got nine scratcher tickets if my math is right,
pictures of nine picks, a lot of them higher picks.
And don't discount AJ Brown. Oh there's no way Philadelphia
would trade AJ Brown the guy with I know they
won the Super Bowl, but wasn't he like reading books
because he was so upset with his lack of opportunities
most of the time. In the Eagles offense, which ranked

(09:24):
thirtieth in passing offense in the NFL. DK Metcalf, who's
built like a monster masher, is part of the thirtieth
passing offense in the NFL.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
But they won the Super.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
Bowl, doesn't matter, and they got to do something though, right,
it is obvious that Patriots have to do something. Their
leading receiver is de Mario Douglass. Hoo, exactly, hoo. They
got to go out and get somebody. And where have
you gone? Julian Edelman and Wes Welker and even Randy Moss.
They're not walking through that door anymore. All right, Now,
furthermore to Jerry's world, we go. Now, I mentioned the

(09:58):
word of the hour is aggressively, because there's one thing
that football blowhard's love is to talk aggressively. Because it's
time now for the obligatory Mallard monologue reference to those
lovable losers in the state of Texas. Now, Stephen Jones,
the spawn of Jerry, Stephen Jones, Okay, Stephen Jones says

(10:22):
the Cowboys will be selectively aggressive. I'm not making some
other The Patriots, the reporting said they will be aggressive.
They will aggressively pursue, aggressively, pursue a wide receiver. And
now the Cowboys executive, the spawn of Jerry, says that
the Cowboys will be selectively aggressive in free agency.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
Can you decode this? Yes? I can. So this is
more of a political thing.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
It reminds me of Kamala Harris when she was running
for the White House. She served up a lot of
words salads, right, a lot of words. To put some
big words out there and just see what happens. So
Stephen Jones is trying to impress low information fans, is
what he's trying to do. Right, Selectively aggressive is weasel jargon,

(11:14):
is what it is. Jones is saying, the Cowboys are
going to do what every other team in the NFL does.
Dumbd dum, dumb dumb. Yes, Dallas, congratulations. You get a
puffy sticker near your name for saying the obvious. And
always remember great quote about life. Always remember that you

(11:37):
are absolutely unique. You are absolutely unique, just like everyone else. Right,
the Cowboys are doing the same thing that every other
team is doing. All thirty two teams are selectively aggressive.
Dumb dumb. That's how it works because you can't sign everybody,
so you pick and choose who you want and then

(11:57):
you are aggressive. Thus you are selectively aggressive. The Broncos,
the Vikings, the Jets, the Chargers, the forty nine Ers,
the Texans, everyone, the Rams, the Dolphins to Jacksonville Jaguars,
all of them are selectively aggressive.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Stupid.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
That's how it works. It's like you're not exactly moving mountains.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
Here is what you're doing. You're not go figure all right.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
Now, last thing, we go to La La Land, where
the plot thickens. Now is debating doing a full Malar monologue,
the obligatory Mala monologue about Matthew Stafford. That appears to
be the big domino that is going to fault? Now
is it that not be the first domino? But every

(12:42):
day there's like fifteen different versions of what's going on
with Matthew Stafford.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
He can be yours if the price is right.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
The latest we are hearing is that multiple teams are
willing to pony up a train robbery level of money
to pay Matthew Stafford, and they want to pay him
more than the Rams.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
So what does that tell you?

Speaker 3 (13:02):
The Rams have had Matthew Stafford for several years, They
won a Super Bowl with Matthew Stafford, and they don't
want to pay Matthew Stafford as much as other teams
want to pay him. Why would that be? Wouldn't the
Rams want to pay him more. They've had him, they've
seen him up close and personal.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
So what is that telling? Maybe the Rams are wrong,
but maybe they're not. Dunda Dundune done all right.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
So Little Birdie tells us that Stafford he wants to
be paid more than fifty million dollars per year. By
the way my hand is raised, I would also like
to be paid more than fifty million dollars a year.
My hand is in the air. I would like fifty
million dollars a year. I would enjoy that. That would
be wonderful. Sign me up for that. So you make
the call, Matthew Stafford. You're at a fork in the road.

(13:50):
You make the call. Do you go for the money
or do you stay for the creature comforts of the rams?

Speaker 1 (13:58):
You make the call.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
So the erra on this one is pointing to the
iconic words of Randy Moss. Straight cash, Homie is the answer. Stafford,
as Rob Manfred would say, already has a little piece
of metal. Got a little piece of metal there, got
a little trinket, won the Super Bowl, won the Lombardi
over the Bengals. So he's got that. It's all about

(14:20):
cattle wrangling. It's all about cattle ring. And in this case,
you figure Stafford's got maybe two years left most likely,
most realistically two years to go, So he doesn't have
a long shelf life limited shelf life.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
You're looking to squeeze.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
All of the gold bullyon out of the NFL's cash cow.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
You want that, right, you a little cattle ring this,
what's around with this? We'll see what we can get.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
So if it means having to uproot your family, it's
good for your your wife's podcasting, right, I guess and
was listening to.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
That crap uh.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
And then you have to leave behind Sean mcvay's wizardry.
That's a blow. But you get money. It's fine. You
get a few more dollars. You already got generational money.
So you're helping out like three generations of the family
down the line, so they can be trust fund babies
and never have to work, and everyone will hate them
and want to punch them in the face. You can
help them out with that extra fifty million dollars. Now,

(15:21):
the Giants are said to be the favorite, but the
Steelers have been mentioned. One of the gambling markets I
looked at the offshore books had the Minnesota Vikings as
one of the favorites for Matthew Stafford.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Which was odd to me, but there is a connection with.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
The Viking coach O'Connell and he was a RAMS assistant
back in the day. And the Raiders have also been
mentioned as a possibility, but I'd expect something sooner than later.
And been asked by many people, what about Aaron Rodgers.
We talked about this in a previous episode of the show.
And somewhere Aaron Rodgers is in a Amazon forest. He's

(15:55):
sipping ayahuasca and he's doing some kind of foodoo prayer bugaloo.
So Stafford leaves la vacates his chair and then Rogers
can slide on it, can slide on in and then
ram it all day and ram it all night.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
