Best/Worst-Case for 15 big names in Limbo; Connie Fox Sweeps FINALS

a singer, Well you weren't. You weren't and you were the singer. I think it was more like, uh, they might be giants dead Milkman. They might be giants and Dead Milkman couldn't be any farther removed from each other. They're totally sort of just like talk there do you always bring up the Dead Milkman? I always talk about your band? Well, that's you know, that was the start. We did some you know, some Nirvana, but not publicly

more just that's just for the basement. Now. Nirvana famous for the their pixies like soft loud dynamics, So the verses would be very low building up. Then the chorus would explode you. You have some recordings where you're kind of doing the build up in the verses, and then that those vocal cords, that powerful voice just go. No, no recordings, no powerful voice, No Nirvana demos, Nirvana demos. I don't know, but no, you were the singer though,

correct love you bro. Yeah, that will be fine. But you remember circling back to this, you do remember, Greg, that we said we would make a beefy donation to a children's charity if you just produced the tapes children, Greg. Yeah, I mean you could do that anyway. So that's on you. I've been told that there are tapes out there. We're never going to give up the chase, just so you know, always time to help. I mean, I've I've learned if

there's a bit on this show, it never dies. So I'm aware, will be, will be like this is not not a bit like sixty years old. It's like, hey, remember that time we went up to a big bear that West was crazy That It's not a bit. It is a quest, Greg, and it it involves the assistance to children, which there this is the right time, right, it's the opposite. It's weird how little you do to help children, you know other than this. No, the bit is you preventing? Yeah, I mean in our house and

outside our house, Friday show, having fun, getting excited. It's all been building to this. The Connie Fox theme song sweepstakes finals today. We picked the song Connie will be here a little bit later. She initially was going to be on the whole Oh and then she started sending some video texts out last night about a yacht rock show she was at, and I'm imagining she hit it pretty hard and she pulled back. She said, I'm doing one seg. So that's that's her right. I mean, that's

We're not paying her for this. But I just wanted you and the listeners to know that initially, Connie whole Show kind of goes out late last night, Connie part of the show. Do I have that right to just raise my hand for maybe two minutes of the show, moved by a host for the guests that's coming in, to immediately throw her under the bus while she's not here. I mean, we went through all this effort to give

her her own song, and I think she little um. Also, Zusa wrote a banger uh the uh here's the headline. I don't know what's up with these headlines? Two thousand twenty nfl QB Carousel colin best slash worst case scenario for fifteen big names in limbo. What if, Heavens to Betsy, that is a mouthful. What if just once when there was a quarterback overview, somebody slipped in like landscape instead of carousel? Can I can I tell you this? I'm right on that. I'm right on that same place with you.

And oh, Greg, Greg just knocked over my bubbly soda? Why are you leaving an open cannip so on? What were you attempting to do when you reached over to it towards Dan's body? Ricky, we might need a paper towel. I got tissues that will be good, all right, Just keep talking anyway, delicious bubbly. Now you watch out West, it's over near near you. I should have known to put it up. I speak with my hands. Um. Thank you.

Erica brings in a box of ultra thin tissues that should help with These are the ones that were right by your dorm room bed mark back in college. Do they make a thick tissue? I don't know. I'm just saying versus like a hefty note. Uh, some sort of going to Costco for your clean xbox as I are solved. I don't think Costco even existed when I was in college anyway. Um, I wrote like six words this piece. Never use the word carousel once. Why does carousel need

to be connected to quarterbacks? It's and like editing one oh one. Well we do get to use this dry, so that's good. But I did not write carousel. Alright, so we're doing that also some news, so let's get to it. Let's do some news. But this I'll follow up with because someone who had had been seeking quarterback stability for so many years, now you seem to have it with Sam Tharnald. But which of those four would you want if you could go after one of them?

What was that? I'm sorry? I missing which of those that worst case scenario? Uh? I was on live TV with Money yesterday. Didn't hear a word he said? And he's setting me up for a quiet and he's continuing to set me up for the question. And I have no idea what where, what he's saying or what's coming. Why didn't you hear him? I don't know. I just missed one word one and he was setting up, and then I couldn't, based on context clues, track what the question was. I think the victim is the viewer. It

was a bit scenario. I think it was me more than anyway, because it was just Hameda, Hameda Hammeda. Actually, it's great when you watched any sort of news program and in an f OP occurs, it's like that gets your attention. All right, let's get to it and let's start. Oh big Monday Night football speculation o. ESPN missed out on Tony Romo, who decided to sign that mega deal to stay at CBS for at least three years and

perhaps a decade or more. But ESPN they're not going down without a fight as they look to potentially I move their Monday night football telecast ESPN plans. According to Andrew Martin of the New York Times New York Post, ESPN plans to attempt to acquire Al Michael's from NBC Sports for Monday Night football. ESPN would like to team Michaels with Peyton Manning and what would be their dream booth. According to sources, Manning is now ESPN's top choice as

an analyst after Tony Romo, agreed to his deal. Al Michaels is under contract with NBC. However, stranger things have happened in the media landscape money talks. I don't know if Al wants to walk or move. Well, We're gonna see if any anything comes to this, But at the very least, Greg, this is really spicy and a best

case scenario potentially, I think for the viewer. I mean, stranger things have happened in Al Michael's career when he got traded away from ESPN and ABC for Oswald the Rabbit, right, so it all would come full circle and there's a little of awkward um ego and you know, taking care of a legend and al Michael's going on here though that like, you can't let Al Michaels know that you would be happy to trade him and replace him with Mike Tariko unless Al's really on board with that, and

if I don't think Al would even consider it unless it's like a home run pairing with like with Peyton Manning, if they if they strike out with Peyton Manning and everyone that's close to Peyton Manning says he wants to work in the front office someday and doesn't seem like he's in a huge hurry to be doing anything that serious right now. So like, if they don't get Peyton Manning, there's I wouldn't think they can get Michael's. Well, Peyton

has already turned down ESPN twice in previous year. There was a source quoted in one of these articles saying he already outplayed Romo every week while they were playing. Why does he want to be compared to Romo every week as a TV guy? Which seems like maybe Peyton Manning doesn't think he can do as well as Tony. That's the huge X factor because it's a dream booth

in terms of name and prestige. But Peyton Manning's persona and career would change sharply if he went in there and pulled essentially a Jason Witten, like he has to know inside, I don't know you you test, you test these games, you go, and I'm sure he's in the past done like a test run announcing, But how do you know if you're Tony Romo, it's the person you're just gonna be. If you're not as good as Tony Romo, you're going to start off on the wrong foot one

week into the assignment. Well, two things. One it's about I think the deal that Romo got probably could lead to Manning being more interested in this job because the money is probably gonna be a lot different. This works to Manning's advantage in a negotiation. I would think you wouldn't get Tony Romo money probably, but he would get a beefy paycheck too. He's a competitor. He's a competitor Roo. He's a competitive guy. So the idea that I need

a new challenge in my life. He's certainly comfortable on camera and he doesn't shy away from the spotlight. So if the money is right and the spotlight is something that is attractive to him, he also doesn't need to be Tony Romo, Like I know. That's like the idea here. It's like, well, if he can't be Tony Romo, he shouldn't be doing this. All he has to do is be better than Jason Witten, you know, he has to be better than Booger, and he has to be competent.

He's got to be kind of like what Gruden was, which some people liked him, some people loved him, some people didn't like him. I think that's more of the bar that he needs to meet, but he could a great TV figure though he made people have opinions whether you liked him. I liked opinions, right, uh. I think Manning though the bigger questions just like would he want to do it? I I don't get the sense, like you mentioned, you know, he would want another challenge. Who

knows what he thinks. But my feeling would be he would want it more of a challenge that this is not like he would He might write like it's very difficult, like it's a very difficult thing to do, but it's not necessarily like is he is his dream? If it was his dream to do it, he would have taken the couple of Well. I think getting Eli Manning out of the league helps because I don't think he wanted to announce anything involving Eli's Giants fading Giant's career. But

I you know, competitive is fine. Competitive doesn't necessarily make you an innately good communicator or observer of the game. It's just like when Romo. What Romo has done is it's not it's surprising, but it's a delightful surprise because you found out that he can translate what he knows so well to the viewer it. So many quarterbacks have gone and tried to do this. Johnny Unitis totally flailed out at CBS way back in the game. I mean, it's just there. It's the next you can you play

the game. The fact that you can make the regular like a casual viewer, understand the game and love it more is a total unknown. Everyone thought Brett Farve was going to be like the next big TV star and that never happened. Could stumble into an even better announcer than Peyton Manning because their second choice is reportedly Kurt Warner, who has done some announcing it has been very good. Bill Versus been connected to this, but it certainly seems

like Philip Rivers still wants to play. I think Greg Olsen would would be great, but he's he wants to continue to toil. But the other big part of this, it's fun to talk about because it's saucy, but al Michael's who's in his late seventies now, he's under contract for I believe two more years. Everyone knows that Sunday Night is the best game of the week or the best prime time game of the week. Uh, he's probably comfortable where he is. Does he how much of a

fight does he want to put up here? That would he want to go to Monday which is a lesser game and it's not as big in terms of ratings. He loves ratings. I'll talks about ratings all the time on the broadcast. He would kind of have to get nudged or getting maybe a little saucy package himself to make this work. There's a lot of things that happening without getting more money. Yeah, I feel like a lot of things have to fall into place for this to work.

But it's a fun idea and I think, like I was saying, like, I think viewers would be the winners here, especially if you get Tariko out there. But wouldn't wouldn't it maybe change the Monday night lesser game scenario. Suddenly you have al Michaels and Peyton Manning and they It would make it a better game to watch, even if the matchup isn't as good. Well, the crazy thing First, firstly, they did have a great schedule last year and it was a little up and down. They ended up having

a better schedule than Sunday Night Football. They sort of looked into having a lot of big games. But he uh, it's supposedly according to you know this reporting, you know, on his way out the door after the next Super Bowl that NBC has, which I think is two, that Tarko was already gonna start taking more games maybe starting this year, that Al would just like have some regular weeks off. So like what, Yeah, it's not gonna be

as comfortable. It's like a free agent quarter. But like if you're Tom Brady and or your Al Michaels, you gotta go to a whole another system, a whole another thing, Like I don't know, I hope it happens, Probably won't though. Meanwhile, if your booger and testor you're dying, right, it's like just a they they've been doing college for years and that that they would still be working. But yeah, it's it's got to be the ugliest thing to sit around

and ponder. You're like everyone somewhere, you've been replaced by someone, right, You're kind of like the afterthought. Um, all right, well, so we'll track that and see how it all plays out. We had a trade that went down shortly after we did our show on Wednesday, the Los Angeles Chargers. Well, it's a tentative trade. Tentatively agreed to a trade of tackle Russell Okung to the Carolina Panthers in exchange for

guard Trade Turner. Rap Sheet reported this Uh the trade but of two offensive lineman, two starters is an interesting one West. Why did it happen? Well, if the Panthers had the highest sect percentage allow allowed to edre rushers last year, and if you watched their games, that comes

as no surprise their tackles were terrible. Also, I think as much as people criticize this trade, because Trade Turner has been probably a more reliable, better player than Russell Okung, you have no idea what Matt Rule, the new coach once in his guards. It could be the trade Turner doesn't fit that system, especially at nine million dollars or what ever. So go get your left tackle and they must have information that RUSSELLO Kung's recent health problems will

not be problems in two thousand twenty. I just think like Trade Turner, being much younger, gives the Chargers to me. I give the wind to the Chargers, And I think that Tom Telesco pulled off a nice deal. And I read that from the Carolina side that it was Pat Meyer, their O line coach who used to be with the Chargers, who lobbied hard for this trade. So it tells you your assistant coaches have a lot of power under Matt

rule to help shape the roster. Well. Plus the Panthers they're trying to trade anyone on their roster by some reports, including like Christian McCaffrey. They I mean, I think they they're willing to totally blow it up and Russell Kung's thirteen point five million dollars this year like they It's a reminder that Matt Herney, who was the GM drafted a left tackle and Greg Little in the second round neck last year, and now that picks just kind of

like a waste. It's tentative because all deals are not official until the start of the new league year in March eighteenth, but this looks like it's happening, barring some type of medical situation and other Chargers news. Austin Ekeler Got Paid rap Sheet reported that the running back agreed to a four year, twenty four and a half million dollar contract extension that includes fifteen million and guaranteed money.

ESPN had it first good for Eckler Mr Sessler, guy who went from undrafted free agent to a key to their offense, especially when Melvin Gordon's hold out extended last season, he established himself Eckler did as a real playmaker behind Yeah, I guess it's like, so Melvin Gordon out the door, And I thought, what I like is that again, Tom Talasco and the rest of the coaching staff identified that Eckler was just better when he was in there alone,

that when they were together, he was not the same guy. I love the fact that he's he's they got a good deal. Number one, twenty four point five million is not It is not a bad deal at all. He's still twenty four And it kind of reminds me I'm not seeing the same player of watching priest homes when he was with the Ravens and you could see his numbers weren't all there, but you could see a player who was about to blow up. And when he went to Kansas City and they isolated him, allowed him just

to do his own thing. He had three straight fourteen heart four hundred yard rushing seasons with two hundred and six catches over a three year span. And I think that Eckler is a dude that can do it all, and I love that they are going with him over Melvin Gordons is like he's the forgotten superstar of that era. It didn't last very long, but he was one of the very best running backs in the league for a stretch there. This is a testament to development, sort of

like James White with the Patriots. You come into the league and you're not a very good runner, and then you turn yourself into what I believe is the best passing down back in football last year. I mean, he had catches for yards like Robbie and has never had anything close to that, and he's about to get paid triple this and eight touchdowns receiving that that is double

the amount of Christian McCaffrey. Alvin Kamara turned eighty one catches into five hundred thirty three yards and one touchdown. Ekeler turned nine catches into nine yards and eight touchdowns. And I know Kamara was injured, but that is the guy we thought who was the best passing down back in the NFL last year, and Ekeler played circles around him. There's some chatter that why did he take um such a team friendly deal. But I that's the problem with

being undrafted. You get you kind of get hurt on both ends. Like like he hasn't made much money in his career. He could have been a restricted free agent and gone out and maybe got an offer sheet that was better. But I don't blame him. He would not would you would not want to play one more season without a ton of guaranteed like life changing money if you're him. Uh. In other news, Trent Williams, the holdout

left tackle, former All Pro of the Redskins. It just doesn't look like it's gonna happen with Williams in Washington, and now the Redskins are allowing him to seek a trade. Two teams have popped up. That makes sense our teams mark the Cleveland Browns um According to the Cleveland Plane Dealer report, the Browns will explore a trade uh Williams, and The Athletic reported that the Jets are one of

the teams also pursuing the left tackle. UH. He is, when healthy, one of the best in the league greg as a blindside protector, but he's been out of the league for a whole year now. Essentially he's in his thirties, there's some risk here, but it makes sense for a

team that needs an instant upgrade. Right, There's there's some risk, but he's played at like a borderline Hall of Fame level when he's played, and I think from other players, like when they talk about the best tackles in the game, they sometimes say Trent Williams is like number one, like the number one, most ferocious guy to try to get past. And the back injuries are concerned and the miss right, it's that's all find a helmet that we've worked last year.

That's that is all like a concern, but you know how good he is, and the fact that tackles are lasting longer and longer, like it's a position. The age thirty one is not old to me. The back injuries are a concern, but that's someone you could have for three or four years. Yeah, I mean the Browns and Jets pick tenth and eleven, and I just wonder what the asking prices because first round picked, I guess I mean Dwayne Brown also thirty one when he was traded,

that was a second and a fifth. Fuller does not think there's any way they're getting the first. In fact, he said the Redskins cannot believe they're getting a first round second and a fifth sounds second. I mean, I'm just saying, if you're Cleveland or the Jets and have been reportedly interested, the Athletics said the Jets are one of the team's interest, I get it. I'm just saying, you have you're looking at a really good tackle draft, and you you're gonna give away the tenth pick for

a thirty one year old player. Now, if you get five awesome years out of him, I have. I don't care what the cost is here, you have if you have got a Hall of Fame level left tackle for five years, first round pick, and even if he's great for two years or even one, and then he's okay for a few years. This is such a big year for both of the quarterbacks of the Jets and the Browns. They need year three for all these guys from that

draft class is going to be an important uh. Lamar Jackson is the only one that I'm like, I don't have to worry about him at all. But I think they want to see big progress here, you know, and I think to get a left tackle that they can trust and and plug and play there like I get it. The trick is he'll be the high You know, he's not gonna do it without becoming the highest paid tackle in the league. That's the whole point of the trade. That's the reason why he's not going back to the Redskins.

Apparently they kind of settled the off field stuff, but he says, you gotta make me the highest paid tackle in the league. So it's a big commitment. But it's what are the Jets doing with all this cap space? They got eighty million dollars in cap space, Just spend it. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody makes him the highest paid tackle in the league. I think you're really downplaying

the risk here. Uh. Jadevan Clowney wants to be among the highest paid players in the league, and Ralph Vacciano of s n Y reports that the impending free agent is quote interested in playing for the Giants. Uh. Clowney is what top three on your free agent lists? Uh? Scientists's number three, I believe. But Chris Jones kind of taken off because he was tagged or report did that.

He's going to be taken. As we talked about back in Indianapolis, Mark another situation like Trent Williams, where you you're gonna have to pay top of the line potentially for a guy that I don't know, the injury risk and the production is gonna be there is gonna match up with the salary. Well, Vacciano did question. Vaciano Ralphie did question whether the g men would be willing part with twenty two to twenty three million per season for that kind of a player. Does that feel like a

Dave Gettleman type move? Eric, can you tell Colleen that you think it does? You can hear her laugh, Yeah, we can hear her cackling and yell, and she's gonna be honking that loud. It might as well be on a mike. I can't listen to what you guys are saying. She's like, stop talking. Oh yeah, yacht rock anyway, go on, guys, I have nothing more to add, right, I don't know you got he'd does seem like a Gettleman guy. He's the hoggest of them all. He's, isn't he? I think

Gettleman it is just gonna spend terrible money after terrible money. Yes, every everything is gonna I mean Clowney is good. I think they're gonna spend it on Leonard Williams. He's gonna be tagged or get a huge deal, and they're they're just gonna spend all the money because they know they're all going to be fired in a year if it doesn't.

The Seahawks are a smart organization, and uh, if they're not going to be aggressive to pay the guy, and they're desperate for defensive line and they are reportedly getting pretty in the cloudy business, they want him. I guess we'll see, we'll see if if that actually plays out. But if they don't put up much of a fight, if I was a lesser GM, I'd be like, why aren't the Seahawks wanted to keep this guy? It feels like a nineties blockbuster movie. We want to be in

the clowney business. Finally, in the Green Blotter mentioned the Jets my boy Quinnin Williams, who's, by the way, by all accounts a really good dude and down to earth sweet guy. Uh just finished up his rookie year, the number three overall pick last year, arrested at Laguardi Airport. First all, I can't imagine anything worse than being in an LaGuardia airport jail cell, the worst airport in the world, and now you're in a jail cell in the worst

airport in the world. All right, According to Pro Football Talk, port authority police revised earlier statement now say quinnin Williams did not have ammunition near a gun at time of airport arrest. Well, that's great, but that's a big deal. I just I just think it's pretty crazy, uh that this happens occasionally. How how are these guns in the luggage? And why are we taking guns on planes? You can't

take a gun on a plane, Quinton. I immediately thought of plaques because of New York's harsh guns and there could be repercussions here. But if you're a millionaire athlete, I think you're more interested in security than you are if you're a podcast host. Oh yeah, I agree, But you also I'm saying I don't I'm not saying I'm judging him for having a gun and it's a licensed gun. I don't think PAX is licensed in Alabama, not in

New York. That well, that that is a problem, but it's more the idea of there's pretty solid in terms of common sense laws that everyone knows and one of them is that you can't take a gun on the plane. I would, I wasn't happen personally if I were walking around, what was the type of weapon a K something It wasn't an a K. Well, I mean I I would, I would fact check whether or not I'm allowed to get onto an aircraft with that before. But it was not an AK gun. Laws are so strict that that

difference that he doesn't have the gun. Uh, he didn't have any ammunition in the bag, according to the revised press release, could change what the minimum sentence is like. Supposedly, the minimum sentence if you do have ammunition and the gun is prison. You know, it's years. But Mike Garafola Plainton Bowers had literally the exact same story. Happened to him.

A Buck's defensive end LaGuardia gun, ammunition in the bag but not in the gun, and he didn't you know, he faced the hefty find him, but he ended up not facing any jail time and not any league suspension. By the way, worst airport I'm going l A X with literally no reside. Really, I cannot ever, whenever anyone says to me, you're just wrong, You're wrong, Well, whenever anyone says to me, can you come pick me up at l a X, like like a wave of like

trauma goes through me. I don't want to deal with it. As far as Lagartia is liked, l a X is awesome, and I'm not awesome. Some gates are much much better than Lagartia has a disaster. L a X is overmax like they need help and they're trying to address it. Good. L a X talk guys. Logan Boston, Logan, You're insecurity lines for three hours and terrible. I'm always surprised by how quickly I get through security l a X. That's I'm saying. What I really cannot stand is like, hey,

it's l a X. Bring your guns. We love it. Okay, Oh you want to uber out of l a X. Here, get on a Get on a hideous bus back to its four hundred and sixty people's bags up at the front of the bus. Everyone is sweaty and angry. It takes you seventeen minutes to get to this ridiculous parking lot three miles away, and then you gotta wait in line for thirty minutes to get in an uber. I mean, it is one of the least functional exit strategies of any report I've ever experienced. To my cab bro, if

the NFL is playing, just take the cab. You don't have to wait a little extra when they're paying. I think they've done a nice job. But there, all right, that'll be fine. That's you know what I'll be probably be frist next time I tried to get out of that airport. And speaking of Jets, defensive lineman in trouble, Moll Wilkerson arrested for d w I possession of marijuana and procession of drug paraphernalia. He got arrested last June. Also, oh man, he went from one of the best defensive

linement in football two completely out of the league. And that's just sad. I think curb your enthusiasm has shown you what a few years with the Jets does to the fans. But also maybe some of these defensive people perhaps perhaps that's what's happening in the news. All right, let's I guess, because it was decided by Phil Specter that we have to spin the carousel. Here's the headline, NFL QB carousel col in best last worst case scenario for fifteen big names in limbo. This was the germ

of this article. Idea came out of in real time on this podcast last week, and I just counted out how many quarterbacks that we knew had some type of state of limbo, and it actually grew since then. It's I think it was thirteen the count, then it got up to fifteen. They got Jimmy g involved. Now I'm gonna pitch a ranking of airports to leave on party after this seven years and you can't get his last name right? Still? Is? I mean at some point that's disrespectful.

I'm waiting to see the world worst the luggage carousel carousel rankings now that um so, I went through these fifteen quarterbacks and I laid out a best case scenario, worst case scenario, and then a most likely scenario. So it is striking that there's this many guys that have some level of indecision around them. And then some people on Twitter, some people say I miss I missed people. I left Josh Rosen off the list, but you know, whatever, come on, Josh. I mean, Kim Sacco made the list,

which I felt was generous. So you could have a former Super Bowl MVP, Marcus Mariota I did not put on the list, but I mean, yeah, you could say Marcus should be on this list. But Marcus, you know, I don't have much little back for the game of Mr Mario. He's uh he you know, he's a factor in one of these other guys names. But we'll get to him. Okay, So how do we want to attack

this boys? Um? Was there any names? Uh? Yeah, go ahead, and we'll also start because Mariotto was in the news today related to the third guy on your list, Derek Carr.

And I think somewhere between your best case scenario UM for Derek Carr, which is just you know, they believe in him, that they can move in to the house he bought in Vegas and in the worst case, which is Brady arriving in cars just for sale, is a middle ground where Mike Garret Foller reports they're more likely to go after kind of a veteran backup, go the Tannehill two thousand nine teen Titans route, And he mentioned specifically that they are definitely interested in Marcus Mariota and

that they might have competition for Mariota. I think some teams out there probably look at Mariota and think, hey, if he comes at a bargain price. This is absolutely a guy worth taking a swing on. Mayock had Mariota as his number one quarterback in that draft. Grooden sung songs about him on you know the qb Uh what was that show? Whatever it was? Qb hangout with John Groods in the cubes. That's what it should have been

in the cubes. And so that kind of is like a one bee where Car is somewhere in between, like a guy who's like on his trail. Derek Carr and Marcus Mariota as my two choices. So Cars the starter and Mariota's the guys. Seven things go poorly, at least we have another guy. But you're Derek Carr, you say bring it on. Yes, it also means the Raiders know they can't get Tom Brady. I I threw it. I threw in his The most likely scenario that they do stick with him. But is Mike Mayock for a second

year at the Controls and he's the straft maestro. Is he gonna be able to resist taking a quarterback that's his guy? I kind of see a young guy coming in and that being a major issue for Mr Car unless he plays out of his mind. I mean, I think this has been an extremely annoying and uncomfortable month for Derek Carr, and it's only getting worse. He bought that house in Vegas right next door to Grood I mean next door to Grood in Yeah, and see that

as trouble coming. He goes to the new Allegiance Stadium in Vegas and he breaks ground or wherever he cuts the rib. And I didn't check out the telecast of it. Yeah, he was part of that home is he's trying so hard to just ingratiate himself and put him into this team's future. But we'll see if he really is. Well. It's because of like the specifics of some of these reports,

because there's this this vacuum of news. There was a report um from a long time Raiders beat writer that Mark Davis is not a fan of Derek Carr, that if it was up to Mark Davis that he might be part of the reason these stories are getting out air that you know, he wants something better, like he's sick of it. And so now you know the owner who by the way, dragged you not draft, you know, brought you to Vegas for this uh dog and Pony

Show wants out of there, I'd be annoyed. Well, the worst scenario with the draft in Vegas is, of course Derrik car will probably be there, you know with Raiders fans and all this other stuff and wem you've seen this happen before. We're like quarterback is at you know, draft location and draft location team attached to that draft location bears to the Bears draft party with Mike Lennon, and as an ian level, I just think that we're, you know, this worst month for Derek Carr could become

a worse two months for Derek Carr. We're even worse scenario would be like if if Joe Burrow or one of the picks like has a has a rough night in Vegas the night before and like falls off one of those boats on the way of getting drafted. They're taking a little boat up to the up to the where is the draft? That does anything? Now? I do not? I mean I know where it's a draft in Las Vegas. That's as far as I can tell you that minute.

Like a local Ricky dit Vegas. Cool. She's like listen to music back there barely so it's like a normal all right, spin the carousel, Ricky somebody else on a bring up. I have fifteen quarterbacks. Here, I go, okay, Wes it is at the Bellagia the one I think here, here's one. I think that you Your analysis is spot on, okay, good. The most likely scenario for Jacoby Brissette, his days as a starter are numbered. If it's not Rivers, it will

be someone else. And my sense from sitting there at the press conference with Chris Boward is that they love Jacoby Brissett the person, but they're ready to bring in another quarterback. And if it's not Philip Rivers, then you're going back to the Frank Bright, Nick Foles connection or even Jason Michael. They're tight ends. Coach used to be the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for Marcus Mariotta and

the Titans. And if you bring in a Fools or a Mariota, it would not surprise me if hangs onto the job, and against all hangs onto the job. But if you bring in Rivers, I think is he's done. I think it's a good point to you know, note that Brissette could be there with whoever they because so much of his money is guaranteed in the so much cap room. I mean, they're paying him starter money, so that's uncomfortable. But if they're stuck with it anyways, why

create another like your roster. I believe it's more than like million or fourteen millions. All he did was do exactly what they asked when they were thrown into total chaos. And I mean, speaking of cap space, they are right behind I believe the Dolphins the most in the league, so they can they could probably afford to carry that from the short term his uh yeah, he has thirteen million dollars in in two thousand and twenty, pay still coming.

I think attached to that. The Nick Foles scenario is intriguing to me just because well, it's spend that thing. Spin that wheel. It's a wheel. It doesn't sound like a wheel. Sounds sounds like a war zone. Um, what do you do with Nick Foles? Because I think he's completely untradeable. Colleen wrestle her away from them? What what is Colleen doing back there? It is undetermined. I mean, I think for your segment that makes sense, But why not? I mean I told her to come about and she

did right on time, even a little bit early. But she seems to be in good spirits. Yeah, she's feeling good. She's saying how that she doesn't have to take an umber from L A X and then a black car picks her up. Well exactly, See, I'm just I am from the from the earth, and I'm a normal person from normal from the proletarius or crew from the ground,

like a tulips back. They're building that puzzle. Alright, Um, Nick Foles ahead, I think you've got to keep him because I'm a huge Gardner Minshew guy, and I think he's the better quarterback. Yeah, I think he's the dude. Come on, but no, no, no, you have to We live in a world where these second year quarterbacks like look at last season, Look where we were last year with Baker Mayfield and Sam Donald. Things can change quickly, and look at Nick, folks, things change quickly. Suddenly your

career is in freefall. And you mentioned that if anything, if he got stuck with a if they shifted into a a disastrous team with a bad offensive line, he starts to rethink about retirement again. And it's like, what is a good landing spot for a quarterback that I personally love? Again? I love Nick Foles the person, great guy like Philly is the best place that I could pick for Tampa would be good I as a starter,

though maybe I mean backup, Well, here's the thing. You're right, he is untradeable at that salary, but which is um fifteen point one million? I mean he has a much They had to eat the money. The Jakes had to eat half the money. If they trade him, they actually get some cap savings. They get three million dollars in cap savings, and they get rid of it, and they solve sort of the problem. If they have him on their roster, they can't cut him, like cutting is not

an option. So I could see a scenario where a team, maybe even in April, after everything dies down a little bit, like the Bucks or the Chargers or some team that wants a backup, says, if you pay half his salary, like we'll take Nick Foles for nothing, And that's what that's all. Tannehill was Tannehill. They cut his Dolphins were so you know, willing to get rid of Tannhell. They paid half his salary and they gave him away for nothing. It was a six to seventh round swap. If I'm

I think Falls would be a great pickup. At that price because like it's all about Bilow sell high, like he still has values. Terribly year. He had a terrible year. He got injured, he didn't play well. But I guess I with foals, like maybe he's never gonna be just the guy for a team. But I wouldn't use last year as the be all end all in terms of decider. You can look at all his other years when he's been put in there as a starter for more than

a month, and it's touchdowns and two interceptions. I mean, he had one big year and then he had one huge postseason. I would be very dubious about selling him to a fan base or to my own coaching staff, as as your quarterback right needs to be in the right system, and I don't think he's going anywhere as an unquestioned starter. It's basically just how desperate is Jacksonville get rid of them. I think they might be pretty desk and to get rid of him, and then you

can get him for cheap. And of all the best case scenarios I have on this list, his is kind of the softest. I think the best case for him is that he is in a camp battle with Minshew and I think it's based on what we heard at the combine, based what's a point that you've made that where the league's going with quarterbacks. It just feels like Minshew would be the you know, heavy favorite to win that job, and it feels like his best case scenario

right now. Yeah, he's tricky for for a trade to another team if you're if you're in a stampus quarterback for another team. Nick Foles is such a good guy that you're like, okay, that well, that's cool, and then you realize that the media is going to try to have him taking your job every other day because he's Nick Foles former playoff m v P. I think um Philip Rivers is an interesting guy to talk about. Spend it, spin it, stop talking to Colleen scenario because he's probably

gonna end up with the calls. That's what I hope for. I love Philip Rivers. It's like my two sons last night, Jack and Harrison, for whatever reason, decided they wouldn't go to bed last night. I just decided to like themselves, and all of a sudden, it was like ten thirty at night. It was two hours past when they usually go to bed, and there's really nothing you can do. You can't make them go to sleep. That's how you end up in jail. So you basically keep going back there.

You're like, go to sleep, it's time to go to sleep. I will take away this in the morning. You won't do this this weekend. But you can't make them, and you just kept it, kept on hearing them at the end of the hallway. That's what it is again. Now with Erica and Colleen. I feel like I'm right back and you see what they used to do in people used to do back in the day, you know, slip them a little like actually Mickey was for different We'll take whiskey back here. One of you apparently has plenty

of it in you. That would be a thing that you take whiskey and you put it in the gums of the child there. But that's you know, they say to do that for airline airline trouve as well. I wonder if Indianapolis didn't happen, is there a chance that he doesn't get an attractive and that he does consider a Monday night football option, Because I don't think Philip

Rivers wants to be competing with someone anywhere. I don't think he wants to be entering a scenario where it's like him and he, but we might draft someone in the top five, Like if if the Colts didn't work out, is there a chance he could retire? I think Tampa would jump on that. But I see him as a locked in, loaded starter with someone, even if it's not

the cop. So does he want to be an announcer or we is that just being thrown up proposed on the ESPN had some interest but no, no one's I did include Flack on this uh, and he is a guy, He would be a guy, would be very considered, just like Pie in the Sky's the best case scenario. I thought Aarons could be like, oh, he's kind of like Carson Palmer. He's a big veteran guy that could throw the ball downfield and all that stuff. It is amazing to see Jimmy g second on the Yeah, it is

pretty wild. But that market did cause me to do a search of Flacco's aborted Johnny Unitas biopic screenplay, which you wrote a Around the League post on in two thousands. Not only I, but we you know the around the NFL team was um all over the trench and beat here we were all over this in West, you know. Months later wrote a sizzling follow up which got into why that vehicle, that movie vehicle did not happen West? Why did the uniteds Flacco biopic follower? There was a

brother feud. John United's son, John Jr. Was angry at Joe Unitis, who I believe was his son from a second marriage, for this film. And John Jr. Said of Joe in this movie, it is awful. The guys are tirred. No Joe Uniteds. He never talked to me. He never talked to any of the first five children. He's a guy that's just making money off my father, you know where at sun Flacco. Although the Falcons just re upped with Matt's shop, which I don't get. Why is match

Shops still to the backup to Matt Ryan? This is this bothered me like three years ago, and it and it um, it goes on and it looked pretty good in that one game last year. I gotta say, I mean what, but Flacco could land behind someone like Matt Ryan and I'd be like nice landing spot for both sides, or or lands at the old you know Screen Actors

Guild Theater just down the road. I mean when I think charisma and leading man, well yeah, and he was just gonna do the football part, right, He wasn't gonna he wasn't gonna actually thought it was just for the on field stuff. I mean, United felt like he was keys to his father, his own father article that I wrote Joone Flaccos, own father said this is a terrible idea, and my son has no charisma and he's dull. No,

I think he was gonna play. But but you know what, Donnie Uniteds was kind of known, as you know, famously tacit here and no, you know, not a lot of it. That's not how you don't want to build a movie for that. Come on, Greg, you know it's just because I feel like, you know, he's gotten forgotten and all this. What is happening to Jamis Winston. If the Bucks really do want to move on, which it sure sounds market, it really sounds like the Bucks and Arians are just

kind of over it. Another backup, but he is not a starter at this point, although he's he does these amazing things, but he also could I could see him in a very messy backup situation with Derek Carr in Vegas, that just this seems like something Jon Gruden will just like love the chaos of it all, like that. I would take Winston in that battle over car. Yeah, I think he'd end up winning it. And Tom Brady's at the top of the list for a reason. He's the

big domino. Everything falls after Brady. There was a report this week that he finally spoke on the phone with Belichick and didn't go well. Didn't go well. Who come on, Greggy, you gotta handle this. Don't let this get messy. It wouldn' matter if it if it went really well, that would be we'd be I told you, I'm hanging out on

Jared'stidham corner, and uh, there are open lots available. There's just tumble weeds going through like we're gonna have some businesses eventually, but like the land is cheap Jared's Stidham Corner, Like, come on over, let's ride with Stidham. You know, it's disappointing to hear that, greg this is the greatest player of all time. He's brought so much joy in millions of New Englanders that they're gonna do Tom Brady dirty like this. They're not doing it your organization is not

always they have not always comportant, not my organization. But if they and they make this an ugly divorce, shame on them. Yeah, this is Tom Brady. I mean, there is no there is no scenario where he's playing for another and it's that it's not in some way ugly. He wanted the freedom to choose his own team. That's why they said they haven't really been that worried about him going out and testing other teams because it's like

that's what he wanted. He go do it and we'll see. Well, but it looks like Belichick is giving him a little bit of a what for damage. He's not gonna I don't think Belichick's gonna kiss the ring, and I don't think Tom Brady would expect him to. He should, though, I'm sorry, this guy is different than everybody else. Think Belichick like some face timing with the Titans coach months

after good Titans defeated that's his teammate, former teammate. Yeah, but come on, I don't know, I don't know, Belichick doesn't even probably understand. I mean, connect to FaceTime call, how about hanging out with that fallon character. Yeah, little eyebroweries. I got you on that real quick before we get Connie in here. Best case, worst case, most likely for Garoppolo. Best case Brady reports are just smoke. Garoppolo is the man in San Francisco. Worst case noters land Brady, Garoppolo

get shipped out of town. I said it for a first round pick. What do you think Rappolo's value would be on the open market for as a trade? First and more? This year is different because it's a buyer's market. Right? What team the Patriots? I mean best case scenarios? He leads the Patriots to a super Tom Brady about art Stadham Corner having any buildings really sprouting up around Stidham Corner? How quickly you're corner for literally like two and a

half minutes open and available? Uh and not too expensive? Sure, then you're right. How about Jimmy G to the Colts? Why are you signing up with the age old Philip Rivers? You get have Jimmy G. I think remember when remember when stid Him played last year and then Belichick was like, I better go sign Cody the month or two. Why is Cody Kestler not on this list? He didn't just didn't make the cut neither the gino. Wow yeah, stuck into Greg on that. I mean, it would have been weird.

He was on there. All right, Let's bring her in. Let's wheeler in. Who knows the conditions? Right now? What a night she had? According to some of these texts, we got at the uh at the yacht the yacht club. It was a yacht rock concert. Eric, are really doing a bang up jabs producer. Colleen's knocking chairs over, harrying her own chairs the tiny bucks. Look at Greg, who's this gentleman? Look at this white knight on his horse. Greg wheel and took the head. This is happening on

National International Women's Day. That Greg is lifting a chair over Dan to give to Colleen. Very nice. Eric has just passed out at the board right now. That is that is Erica's like a soft contract hold out right now. Don't even know she's at work, which is not really working? All right? Get this? What time does the plot start? One? What do you do it? You're rubbing a microphone on the podcast West of It doesn't sound good, West doesn't sound good? Man. All right, here we are, Colleen. Welcome

to the show. Hey, thanks for having me walked into a trap. But it's fine in what way? Because you were like, well, you could just come for the last segment or if you want, and I'm like, yeah, cool, that's great. And then here you've been disparaging me. Yeah, I a little bit. Well, No, I just said that a bad job at a host to disparage rock concert wasn't fun at the Wiltern? What was it real bands or was it cover? It was a cover band. I

thought you were on a boat, a physical boat. No, but I felt like I was at points that Christopher cross song was taking me place. I want a lot of places. Um. Last time we saw Colleen was at the waffle house at around four fifty in the morning in Indianapolis, wearing the same outfit I believe. No, I just wear the sweatshirt a lot. Okay, Connie, let's just above the tree tops, as they say, as we now we reached the finals and we're going to be choosing

your own song. You've had a career that's really gone through the roof. There's no glass ceiling with Connie Fox and and on National Women's Day, we celebrate what you've been able to do and build international career, international women around the world glow Buld Woman's Day. Uh, this has to be near the top of your accomplishments that you're about to have your own song. It's it's this between this and having NFL Network live from my old neighborhood, barning.

That's pretty good. Yeah, that's pretty good. That's better. What was the bar wave? Anybody wants to just a taste of the Connie life Connie and Gonzo. I'm sure I spent many hours on the wall in there. Head over to new Wave, get your picture, uh, in front of the picture of Connie and Gonzo and it ended our way and we'll shoot a retweet. Yeah. What are our chances of doing a live hit next year? From the Irish Times? It's probably low. Is that our home bar? Alright?

I'm just you know, get a chance of any around here. We have five finalists and this is how we're gonna do this. Of the five finalists and Erica, this is when we're going to reveal the names of the composers and uh, it would be great potentially even get the winner on the phone, if we can make that happen. I don't know if that's possibility, but we're gonna listen to each of the songs one more time. And now

I don't want anyone to reveal what their choices. That the when I when I say, everyone write down your choice one through five. There's five finalists, and then I will Ricky will also write down hurt choice. So it's the five of us in the studio that get one vote. Ricky gets a vote, and the listeners voted. Um this week, In fact, twenty five thousand people vote. It's two that's in that's increasing. Two point five million people voted, and

whatever the number was. You guys came out and droves to pick a song which is funny and great, so they get a vote. So the listeners get a vote, Erica gets a vote, the heroes get a vote, and Colleen honorary hero as well, gets a vote. So that is drove six at seven. No time it's necessary, right, No, it's still gonna be a time, you know, sure, right, But here's how you break the tie. If we have a tie, since it's Colleen's song, Colleen, you will choose.

It could be three songs in a tie, a deadlock? Right? Have you talked about the prize yet? Could it be three songs in a deadlock. There's seven total votes. Yeah, if you could have a three way tie with seven, alright, well, I i am should not be answering math questions. I'm flying. I'm not in last place right now. Yes, Colleen, we had talked about what will be the grand prize for the winner of this contest, and why don't you let

the listeners know? Well, there can only be one amazing prize given out, and that of course has to be a puzzle. I mean, if you guys are writing these songs, the best gift I could give to you is one of the puzzles that I completed. Yeah, just not any puzzle. It's a special puzzle. And what makes it so special because there's a lot of weird animals smiling on it. And also it made the song and we all signed it. I put together some pieces so we can get that going. Yes,

we're all going to sign. This already featured on the around the NFL instagram page. I believe this puzzle the iconic Connie Weird Animals puzzle that she put together during one of her many off hours a couple of weeks back. That's the prize. Plus maybe we'll be on the show purchased by Gonzo too, so Gonzo has touched it with his own hands. And is Gonzo now at this point aware of the song contest. He is? He was like, I saw something about songs piled in. No, I don't

think you tweet, all right? So alright, Erica, UM, are you do you have any thoughts questions? We can We can get on the same page with Gott to stick the landing on this one. So we're going to listen to the five songs again. We'll talk about the songs after each one, but do not reveal what your choices, um, and then we have to rank them one to five. Just your winner. Here is song one. Who is the name of the artist? This is where are they from?

Dylan Stein from Denver? Number one? M hm, So that's the type the St. Lucia that we like, Gorge Cayman power maybe little m m maybe. Probably probably has strong just like a sound in production as as any of them. And it reminds me the most of and I don't know if it's a positive of like the damn a check intro type songs like Dick Banks, the one little a little Dick banksy. Okay, I gotta think about the fact that you're gonna listen to this roughly five thousand

times over the next couple of years. Does that song have a title? Colleen's never been on the show now, Okay, so that was Dylan from Denver. I like that song. It reminds me of drinking with Cessler for some reason. Specifically, that's not a bad I can see that. I can see a favorite of mine too. It's a bit of a woozy banger. A woozy banger, alright. Number two. Number two is Joe de Prospero from Jersey. Okay, this dude, her heart's is big as tilly. She likes to as

so silly you call her tiny tiny box? Do make your box is here? Box is here? Do is reach boxes? This feels like a like a sick um. I'm like coming in, I'm spilling coffee down to the camera. The tone is correct, alright. That song is Connie Fox Is Here by Joe d from Production to like the little Touches, Great Flourishes and Joe, I, well, you know what I

don't want to say, I'll say afterwards, all right. Song number three, alright, three is Greg Skamato from l A Bison some both caller Conni Fox Othery say it's Tony Box. But no matter who you know who they mean, she's here today on a t N talking with your favorite man. NFL's Loan Wolf. For the names, Calli Fox. I don't really like that one. That one's beautiful little soggy bottom boys, saggy bottom boys again, amazing production value and it's things

the artist sounds like. For West, I would say that's the only maybe interesting. I knew my name would come up because you guys think I'm a hay seed and always talking with grass coming out of my teeth. So anytime you do any dress like they're the cable guy. Right now, I picked the right show for southern Um, what are your thoughts about that country song? Mark? I liked it a lot. I mean also, the artist is right here in Los Angeles, so if I were to

vote against it, he could potentially find myself. It's also, these are the finalists, like, there's no more trash. That's a great coming. All five of these are great, and yeah, go ahead. I hate to be a stickler, but to me, it's a little bit more bluegrass and not country. That's fair, Okay, I'm gonna say it's blue. I'm gonna change it to bluegrass, cut, bent note, beauty, and um mark you you'll appreciate this

because you sent me a gift recently. I'm in a very like good Los Angeles place right now because I did a late night viewing of Bagnolia last night, which is one of the great l A movies. So the fact that he's a local guy, I'm happy for you that you watch that. Watch out for those frogs coming from the sky today. Yeah, the ending felt a little a little off. That was very nice. I've never seen it. I have no idea what you're talking. Okay, Paul Thomas Anderson.

Maybe maybe you should watch them skip the first fifteen minutes and the last. It's not really but it's like the three hours in between. Yeah, it's got some good stuff, you know, couched in the middle. All right, we have two more. Here's the fourth. Option. Number four is Sam Stringfield from North Carolina. Magnolie catching heat. Go ahead, I love it, Steel Magnoliance. Maybe Connie's here, She's gonna piece it all together for us. Finally, someone week Connie's here.

Why are all these animals smiling? What could they be hiding. Oh my god. I mean he's probably the most deserving of the prize because he had the he was clairvoyant enough to put that in the lyrics about it had no idea that was the prize. Also, it sounds like he's had a few to drinks. He sounds like he's three Yeah, he's like three bands into the yacht rock show. Yeah, that makes kind of like him more. He tapped into the Colleen weirdness. He really did two things on that.

I wish we could add, Am I missing something? What is the called why are these animals? Is that from one of your YouTube videos? It's the puzzles Are they smiling? What are they hiding? Okay? And also multiple people on Twitter thought that that was our good buddy Jason Zumwalt, But it is not Jason sounds like but it is Sam Stringfield from North Carolina. It's a bit of a Harry Chapin Field to it could call West totally right. And the final the final entry, this is from Rick

M from Seattle, Maratis. There's a wolf. There's a wolf. There's a wolf. Can't your house down? There's a wolf. There's a wolf. There's a wolf. House don't mess where, don't don't do it, don't do stupid, don't mess where, don't don't don't he's stupid. That one slaps, it slaps, it captures. I think, like the Black the last two I would say, capture the essence of you in different ways, very sort of like ways that are unspoken. Like that.

That song makes me think of Connie Wolf, even with it, even before the the rare Connie Wolf, even before the words come in Wolf, Connie tiny box Wolf. That is it's that song because I always like the titles. Well, there's a wolf. Fantastic all right. Now, everybody, you have a note card in the market in front of you, and it is time. I want you to hide your answers. Remember it's like old scantron test. Cover your papers. When you're done, flip flip it over and here are your choices.

I don't want anyone to mistakenly choose the wrong one. Dealing from Denver, the Woozy Banger and the St. Lucia Vibe Joe d from Jersey. Connie Fox is here, Greg asked from l A. The Bluegrass Connie Song, Sam Stringfield from North Carolina. Connie Fox is here. The puzzle song. Rick M. From Seattle. There's a wolf stupid. Okay, I gotta vote to Colleen's vote should count double. That's the

one I'm most curious about. At least, I feel like the listeners, though, their votes should probably carry more weight because they got are you putting? Are you guys? Did you just put a number or just wrote down based off what you just told us? I believe I had the number read I wrote that number. Okay, you don't need to fold. Do you want our names? Just wanted nice here out of luck? Smooth? A little late in the game, that you want our names attached to this?

You could speak afterwards? Why you chose what you choke? This is the moment, guys. Oh my god, I'm nervous. Did Erica walk in here? Very all right? Let me do mine? Okay, here we go? All right, here we go. This is why I was late. I've missed some sleep because of it. I was thinking about it all night. Now this I am going Jeff Probe's Survivor style. Right now, I have each of the votes. I'm gonna shuffle him up.

I don't know who the winner is. I don't know even though who the listener's choice was you would like you would like to be approached, wouldn't you? I stand in all of your integrity throughout this whole process. Hey, well I know, um which one the listeners did you note that? Okay, I would like to know that. All right, here we go, it's time West. Can you tabulate? Oh? Happy happy to what an honor vote one? No hanging

chats please West. In the Connie Fox theme song, sweep Steaks goes to number four, Sam Stringfield, Connie foxes here the puzzle song vote to remember, seven votes total, any tiebreaker Connie breaks, So Connie gets a vote and the potential tiebreaker, so she really does have kind of potentially two votes. Okay, what this is the listener's vote that the listeners have selected Rick m from Seattle. There's a wolf? Was it close? Ricky very till the end? And then

Rick him really between five and on three shoes? Okay, here we go. We can know what the vote when he's been muzzled, the only one propes in the room. Respect the propes alright, So we got one for five, one for four, vote three again Sam Stringfield, Connie Fox is here. The puzzle songs Your style of telling this up is interesting. Now, Greg, you're good at math, so we'll know at what point does it? Is it a win if someone has four four when they have more

out left? Yes? So right now we're ways away from the magic number. Okay, both into clock scenario here for for us to five is one. The rest are in trouble right now. You need something, need something right now, big spot to be a part of show history. Number four Sam Springfield the puzzle song and now Sam Springfield Stringfield in a commanding position up to four to go, four to go, but he gets one more and it's over right. Uh No, who there could still get between

that and four? A few have four. This is why loves them four out of seven. Yeah, it's there's three votes and there's one for the rap songs and you can still tie, but he has to win out. I'm saying one more. He's Dad's got it. Yep. Yeah, take it to the bank beat job. Maybe it's gonna need a massive comfort thinking the Connie double the next vote, fifth, how many you should you should have? Seven? This is where you need to Jeff Probes would know what the

answers build does this? Propes doesn't know number five, Rick M. There's a wolf that's got to be very good. Three scenario I would not have such good handwriting. This is Eric, I believe. So with two votes left, let's break it down. That's Colleen Coyle. What we could say who we voted for. Colleen voted for number there's only one probes possibly allowed Dan to go through with the ex stepping on his toes. Oh my god, I knew it was Colleen immediately as well. Well,

don't you want to tell the list there? It's what we talked about after yes, Oh my god. So eliminated unfortunately, Dylan den from Denver number one, Joe d from Jersey number two, eliminated, Greg s from l A. The bluegrass song also literate, It's down, It's down to Stringfield, Connie Foxes. Here are the puzzle song, and there's a wolf parenthetical stupid Clowes parenthetical m. Here we got the sixth of seven votes bluegrass on that's West's vote. Absolutely, it was

the best one. Now, this is what it comes down to. If this is anything other than well, if it's the Sam Springfield song, it's over. But if it's any other song besides Rick M, it's also over. And it goes to Stringfield. Wait, if it's five, then there's a tie. Yes, this needs to be Rick M. To force the tie, Ricky, this is it? Scoreboard is really working? Here? Will it be? Connie Fox is here the puzzle song where there's a wolf stupid. We're about to find out West looks nervous.

I'm just interested. Dan's got me on the edge of my seat. Here here it is the final vote in the Connie Fox theme song sweepstakes goes to number five. Got a don Rick M from Seattle. There's a wolf stupid? What a comeback? And you know what has Greg ruined? We know that Colleen voted for number five, totally ruined what would have been a great tiebreaker scenario. So Colleen, this is now your decision to make. Are you gonna

double up? And it makes sense that you would, but maybe you would see that the Connie Fox is here, a puzzle song really pulled extremely well. The listeners chose your song. That's interesting. You know, I am very susceptible to peer pressure, but in this scenario, I'm gonna stand my ground. I'm gonna double down, and I'm going with number five is stupid by Rick M. From Seattle, that is,

if you're Connie's Fox theme song sweepstakes winner. Congratulations to Rick, what a moment you are simpatica with the listeners here, what a moment that I ruined? That works, It's all right, Yeah, I did take a little area of I mean, they built the coalition number five. You know, they got the listeners. That's broadbast. They got the song, they got the person the song is about to get on board. That's that's the way to look at it. Built by you know,

getting different genres of people. I like that the song is vaguely threatening to because it's like, don't mess with her, Like I don't know what's going to happen if you do mess on Global Woman's Day, especially for that to be international. But okay, that the same kind of though I don't know your chef probes tire holiday as as Yeah, let's let's get Rick on the phone. And you guys are right, because although my vote all of West you

had the bluegrass song. I guess obviously then Mark I had Tell and Erica I think must have voted for sam Stringfield and that would have been my second choice if there was like you got a feel for him because it looked like he had it in the bag. Well, had you read the cards in a different order, will look look his He would have had the great comeback that ended in a tie. But it looks like he was the Atlanta Falcons versus the Patriots. A little bit

of five for Sam. But we love your song, and like like I've said, even though there's only one winner and it is rick m from Seattle, there's a wolf stupid um parenthetical. Uh, we're gonna you'll hear some of these songs again, but there's only one official theme song. There's only one person that gets the puzzle, the autograph puzzle, and only one man that potentially gets to uh joined the Around the NFL podcast heroes right now is Connie Tiles in Colleen final thoughts on what's been really I'm

sure a HEDI did. It's it's really been a stressful sort of experience. Like I told Ricky Hollywood, I didn't really ask for this, but then once it was bestowed upon me, I felt it was my poty to pick the best song, and I think that's what we did here today. Now you are a noted hip hop head. How huge was that that he went down that road, uh, using kind of Uh, what was a really solid hip hop beat, had a good flow to it. That must have been really a deal maker for you. And well,

it was like he knew what I was thinking. It was like he was one with my brain. And I like the vibes that that whole song cast. I want that to be sort of the atmosphere when I walk in. It's like a walk up. It's like a walk song. And many other people tried hip hop and none of them made the finals, so you had to, like you had to be good. I like that. We had so many different styles, so many different types of songs. Let's talk to Rick. Rick is on the line. Rick Seattle,

the winner Natty Fox Theme Song Challenge. Congratulations, Rick, welcome to the Around the NFL podcast. Hey, I'm going thank you. Tell us tell us how how it how it happened, how the song came to you? Uh? And and you know how excited you are right now, which I imagine is quite basically I just started speech berg and then uh, when I came up with it about like thirty minutes and then I just recorded it on my phone. Are

you somebody that has a simple process? You have like a hip hop background, or you are recording artist yourself, or is it just something you do in your own time? Yeah, I do Rabin of music very good. So we're you're gonna throw a plug in here? I mean, why not? Where could people hear more of your stuff? Actually I haven't released anything yet, so oh yes you have. Yeah, that's my first song. It's a banger. It's a number one hit. What's it like? What's it like living in

a submarine? According to the sound of your connection, Oh, I'm driving right out. I mean, actually, are pretty lucky. We just caught him without any warning, even we and here he is, like, how do you feel about puzzles? But what puzzles? Well, Rick doesn't know. One of the prizes you get is the autographed cat puzzle that colleague self together. We all signed it and we're gonna send that your way. I don't think there's any cats all here. Nobody has. Yeah, your prizes you get to put together

a seven piece puzzle. No, but in all serious is Rick, it was awesome. We had so many great competitors and your song. We loved it immediately, And you are imagine as a fan of the podcast forever now tied to the show and you're part of the show's history. You won the fan and you won vote the two most integral votes. It came down to a tiebreaker, but Colleen got a two votes essentially, and she chose your song. Did did I tie with the Animal Collective? That or

what you did? Collective? You tied with the Connie Foxes here with the French horn and talking about the puzzle and the little Animal Collective. Guy, I think the Animal Collective played the first Super Bowl halftime. Yeah, well, I mean everybody was great. I'm just happy that the band show's mind is just to be nominated. All right, Rick, and are you a Seahawks fan? Yeah? Do you want to drop a go Hawks before you sign off? Yeah?

Well boys, yeah please. If you got it, Rick, thank you, and America will be in touch with you about getting you your amazing prize. Rick from Seattle, congratulations, Wow, what what a competition it's been and what what a what a journey that we have now completed and it is uh. I think the only way to sign off the show, if anyone has any other thoughts they want to throw in, I would take the puzzle and like hide it inside it like all the pieces of a giant bag of cocaine.

So he's getting a little more than he bargained. Well, that's quite illegal though. I mean that puts him in danger as well, because it's great narcotic. Are you gonna where who's gonna get it? Who's gonna I don't have access to it. You're also working on the assumption that he would want the cocaine, which we know. I think he could sell it for a lot of money. And so suddenly the prizes and now you're turning him into a drug mules. Definitely put it in some flour though.

Now little Box, we're learning more about what Mark has been doing. No, just you know what, No, just ship it up through eli X. It's so easy to get it through eli X. Is so convenient and easy for everyone. I have no problems, all right, Rick, Well be on the lookout and open it in private. All right, Thanks for listening to the Around the NFL Podcast presented by Into a Quick Books, official sponsor of the NFL. Let's well, let's say goodbye and play out the new official theme

song of Colleen Wolf. This is Dan Hanson signing off for the Quiet Storm. The Mailman Connie Fox, the Tiny Box, Uh, the Old Boss, and Rick Hollywood behind the Glass till Monday hit it. Rick, I mean with there's a wolf, I gotta go places in the parking lot. It's grown on me pretty fast too, to start every Thursday night football. I got. It's way better than prow song and this will get on TNF. One time I predicted stupid the parenthetical put it over the top of it was stupid.
