know, it's it is interesting, Panda, and we know despite your surname, you're a well-known xenophobe, and you know, you're an America first guy. 00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:16.480 So how do you feel about the you know, Secret Eye International NFL and us becoming us being the shield, becoming a worldwide product? 00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:18.399 Good, bad, indifferent. 00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:20.399 I mean, I disagree with what you just said. 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:22.480 I love the world, I love to travel the world. 00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.439 It's a world, you know, but but good humor there. 00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:28.720 I I I think it's cool. 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:29.120 Yeah. 00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:30.000 I think it's cool. 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:31.120 What a great word to use. 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:35.680 I think, yeah, I mean the game of football, it's yeah, it's it's I enjoy it as a fan. 00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:38.480 You know, like I still remember when they played in Brazil. 00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.439 I I the London London games are always good. 00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:47.600 So I think Yeah, I think it's good for as a fan, I think it's great to have the international games. 00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:53.360 And I'm I I know the international fans really play fantasy football and enjoy it. 00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:54.800 So I think it's a good thing. 00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:58.079 I for the players, it's probably tough, you know, being away from the family. 00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:04.959 And I know that comes with, you know, challenges, but but overall, I think there's a lot of net positives from it. 00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:06.000 Well, yeah, I agree. 00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:14.240 I think for the fans, like the US fans of teams, it's definitely tough because obviously if this game was played at one o'clock their time, we were talking a very late game here in the US. 00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:16.879 We we all know the ultimate goal here for Goodell. 00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:28.959 It's to make teams that play international against those other national teams and then have this World Super Bowl where you're gonna have some international conference that plays against a US conference for the actual championship, right? 00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:30.240 Isn't that how this is gonna work? 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:48.240 I think that, and I don't want to sound too cynical, but I think that all they care about is the welfare of their fans, and they'll, you know, excuse any amount of profit or money making for the quality of the product and the safety of the players is clearly the number one thing. 00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.079 I think we can all agree on that. 00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:55.120 You know, we these players, their bodies love traveling high distances. 00:05:55.120 --> 00:06:00.480 You know, it there's nothing better for your body than sitting in a cramped airplane for 14 and a half hours. 00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:02.879 That's just that's just normal physics. 00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:05.519 Yeah, I mean, like I said, that's some of the challenges. 00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:14.240 Yeah, but uh, but it's great to see, you know, the rest like it's it's great to expand it to outside the United States. 00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:19.360 I mean, but didn't we talk did we discuss how the teams have taken two different approaches to this game? 00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:22.160 I did that about 300 seconds ago. 00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:24.639 But let's let's get into that a little further, I guess. 00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:26.639 I mean how would you what would you prefer? 00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:37.920 What would would you rather be the team that shows up right before the game, or would you rather be the team that came early and developed like a uh use to the time that they're in the new the new time zone? 00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:42.000 I find it to be a philosophical question and one that I'd be glad to answer. 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:46.399 And what I would tell you is that it depends on what type of student you are. 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:57.920 Are you the person who gets the book report done a week early and you know is able to, you know, do the goody two-shoes thing, or are you the guy who crams everything in within the last, you know, in the last four hours? 00:06:57.920 --> 00:06:59.519 You know, are you a crammer? 00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:05.279 Or are you I don't have another rhyme for crammer for the more forward-focused, right? 00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:06.959 So that's that's what it is, right? 00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:09.360 The LA Rams are cramming for the test. 00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:10.800 The Niners are studying. 00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:12.000 Nope, wrong, bam. 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:16.800 The problem here is when you do that, you don't have to do anything after that. 00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:21.040 Like this is it, you get there, you get there early, okay, great, but you still have to play the game. 00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:27.519 If you hand it, if you finish your test or you finish your report right before its due date, there's nothing to do after the due date. 00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:29.439 In this respect, you all have to play the game. 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:32.959 So these players are all jet lagged that just got there, whereas the other players that aren't. 00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:37.600 Well, with all due respect, the metaphor goes well beyond your comprehension. 00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:42.639 And what what it is is the concept that the test is getting to the game, right? 00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:47.920 One person, their test, they decided to take it early and be, you know, forward thinking. 00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:53.040 The other person's like, you know, F it, I'm just gonna go down there and we're gonna figure it out and we're gonna go in, go out. 00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:57.439 And, you know, I both you can get an A both ways. 00:07:57.439 --> 00:07:58.160 You really can. 00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:02.399 I I actually

think it's more I don't I don't think it's gonna show one thing or another. 00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:06.079 I don't necessarily think one team gets a major benefit than the other. 00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:06.959 But we'll find out. 00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:13.920 I I'm sure what's the over-under on the uh amount of times the announcers blame jet lag for the number of false starts tonight? 00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:15.199 Uh six. 00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:15.920 Six, yeah. 00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:16.639 I think it's six. 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:17.199 What do you think? 00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:18.480 I'll take the over on six. 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:19.279 I'm not sure. 00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:19.600 Yeah. 00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:23.920 Now, do you know what that what the international unit of time is? 00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:25.839 The international unit. 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:27.040 It's the second. 00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:28.639 Yeah, that makes sense. 00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:32.080 So do you know what a second, you know, what it is? 00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:33.679 Would you like to explain that, I guess? 00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:34.720 I can I can Google it. 00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:36.720 I I would love for you to correct me. 00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:46.320 But I believe it's I believe a second is defined as the duration of a certain number of vibrations of the cesium atom is what they decided. 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:49.360 And I just am curious who was like, you know what? 00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.080 I want this atom to be what a second is. 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:56.559 Because if nobody agrees on what a second is, then we have no sense of time, right? 00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:59.600 Time is like, we're all just agreeing about time. 00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:01.279 We could make it up if we went. 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:02.159 You know what I mean? 00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:04.639 Isn't it such a crazy concept? 00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:05.519 Yeah. 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:08.000 Like I could just make up a day. 00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:09.279 I could I could call today. 00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:10.720 What like let's say we've already done this. 00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:14.399 Let's say, for example, today is Thursday. 00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:16.480 Let's say it's, you know, by the command. 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:24.480 I could turn it in, I could change it to raspberry lime day, you know, and I could just have a different flavor for every day and just say that. 00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:26.320 And would I would I be wrong? 00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:29.360 But you would still have to agree on the second, right? 00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:30.000 Like it's a good thing. 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:30.799 Well, that's a good question. 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:33.840 You need to you need to make a defined like baseline for everybody. 00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:36.639 And the problem is you need to redefine this for everybody. 00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:39.360 So everyone has to agree to the new unit of whatever.

00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:44.000 The reason I bring this up is because the theme of this podcast is time. 00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:45.919 I think I've developed it pretty well. 00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:52.799 And I believe that there was one vibration of the cesium atom that led to a Michigan win and a Western Michigan loss. 00:09:52.799 --> 00:10:01.840 And, you know, I think if the classic meme, I I think the thing that I enjoyed the most was the person who was like, Welcome to Michigan, set your clock back one second. 00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:04.000 Yeah, it's pretty good. 00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:06.399 But yeah, so what did you think? 00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:07.360 Did you follow now? 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:09.759 You're a college football guy too, right, Panda? 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:11.679 Yeah, I this year for sure. 00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:13.360 Yeah, I've gotten really much more into it. 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:18.159 Did you were you watching the Michigan Western Michigan or did you yeah, I didn't watch it live actually. 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.720 I caught I caught the caught it after the fact. 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:22.639 Yeah, I didn't see it live. 00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:24.639 I was like following it on my phone. 00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:28.000 Not watching it, like through and then like we were texting, yeah. 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.440 I I forget where I was that night, but but yeah, I remember hearing about it. 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:40.000 And then I think Turtle, our listener, Turtle said something like, Wow, that was like bull that you know, that was a bullshit call or some bs call. 00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:40.960 Well, yeah, sorry. 00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:41.759 Terrible. 00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:42.080 Sorry, folks. 00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:42.879 We'll edit that out. 00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:43.759 Yeah, yeah. 00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:50.399 And so then I was like, you know, whenever you hear someone say controversial call, like you have a tendency to you want to see what the heck they're talking about. 00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:55.759 So then I saw it and yeah, immediately I was like kind of like really mad at Michigan. 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:57.519 I mean, I don't like Michigan to begin with. 00:10:57.519 --> 00:10:57.759 Yeah. 00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:06.799 I just think they're very like cocky and yeah, just I don't like their just their their attitude, you know, when it comes to their fandom. 00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:13.759 But like they always try to say that Michigan M is this like work like logo that people should like worship or something, you know. 00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:14.080 Yeah. 00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:16.080 Compared to like the Dallas Cowboy logo. 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:16.720 It's kind of stupid. 00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:19.039 I mean, I mean the play itself though, Panda. 00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:21.039 Yeah, you I'm sure you watched the replays, right? 00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:21.679 Yeah, yeah. 00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:23.600 Do you think

00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:06.480 Yeah, that's how that scored. 00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:08.639 That's how the records work in college. 00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:09.120 Yeah. 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:10.240 There's no tying in college. 00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:11.519 There's no tying in college. 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:12.159 Oh, okay. 00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:18.240 Yeah, and like we're kind of since we're on the topic of time, we're kind of following like chronological here. 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:24.159 So so on what on Wednesday night we had we had the Patriots Seahawks game, AJ Brown. 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:24.639 We did. 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:26.639 AJ Brown's out like three to six weeks. 00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:27.759 He got hurt. 00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:29.279 Seahawks won. 00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:32.399 Thursday, we have the game in Australia, 49ers, Rams. 00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:33.039 Melbourne. 00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:35.759 For college football fans, Saturday. 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:39.440 You know, there's still a lot of lopsided games, but there is a huge college game that's gonna be. 00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:42.559 I believe it would be the buckeyes versus the long horns. 00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:47.200 So it's it's a it's a cattle against uh what like what is a buckeye? 00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:48.559 It's some sort of flower, right? 00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:50.639 It's a yeah, it's like a yeah. 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:52.240 Yeah, I don't know what a buckeye is. 00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:52.879 That's a good question. 00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:53.360 Yeah. 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:54.879 Um it'll be exciting. 00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:56.240 That'd be that'll be a big game. 00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:58.159 Both quarterbacks are like top top tier. 00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:00.320 One's Manning for Texas. 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:01.519 Archie Manning. 00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:02.320 Archie, yeah, yeah. 00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:06.159 And then uh the Ohio State quarterback, he was like a Heisman candidate last year. 00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:07.120 Was he now? 00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:11.120 And they have a top wide receiver, of course, these Buckeye wide receivers, you know. 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:13.039 I think there was a big game. 00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:16.399 Yeah, one former Buckeye receiver had quite the game last night. 00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:18.320 That would be JSN, right? 00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:18.799 Yeah, yeah. 00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:19.600 He won that single. 00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:22.639 I mean, he literally put on the cape and won that game. 00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:23.039 Yeah. 00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:27.120 Now I and Darnold got hurt, Drew Locke. 00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:31.919 I personally I have mixed feelings about AJ Brown leaving. 00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:33.200 I I've struggled with it. 00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:33.679 Yeah. 00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:35.600 I I hate the Patriots, right? 00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:37.759 Like that that's not news to anybody. 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:43.519 Yeah and so I was kind of hate watching, but then when AJ went down and was grabbing his ankle, like that's no good. 00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:44.480 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:46.159 Like I You don't like to see that. 00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:47.679 You don't like to see that, right? 00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:53.360 I and even even the Patriots, like, you don't want to you never want to win on that type of thing. 00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:55.440 But yeah, I mean it's it's very interesting. 00:16:55.440 --> 00:17:01.279 The Patriots offense, it does does AJ Brown, is it, is it the I guess it doesn't fit. 00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:06.799 You know, Bill Simmons always has the classic theory that would be the Patrick Ewing theory, right? 00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:11.920 That some like one of the arguably greatest players within the league can actually hold you back. 00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:17.359 In fact, right now we could argue that Miles Garrett is like the Patrick Ewing of the NFL. 00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:18.319 But I digress. 00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:29.119 Essentially, I'm saying, you know, does AJ Brown, does his presence and his gravity on an offensive play, like on the field, does that mess up the rest of your offense currently? 00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:30.640 Yeah, I mean it could. 00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:39.039 Like you there was like, you know, I I was even watching, like, I was wondering if May was trying to kind of try to force the ball to AJ because you, you know, he'll get upset if he doesn't get the ball. 00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:43.920 Yeah, I mean, they but they also need time to develop, you know, to get like chemistry together. 00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:46.640 So I so I I I still think I mean we'll see. 00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:49.920 I mean, May a lot of people say

Drake May is overrated. 00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:53.039 You know, he threw some bad, I mean, he made a really bad pass at the end there. 00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:56.480 They could have settled for the field goal to tie it up, but that was just a bad pass. 00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:57.680 But but yeah, we'll see. 00:17:57.680 --> 00:17:59.119 Yeah, I'm I'm with you on AJ. 00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:00.400 You don't like to see him get hurt. 00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:09.359 There is a part of our hearts that I think we'll always love and appreciate AJ Brown, one of the great, greatest wide receivers to ever put on the Eagles green. 00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:17.519 But the way he there is a also a I think a feeling of like betrayal that we feel with AJ Brown about the Eagles, at least I do. 00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:19.759 So it's yeah, it's somewhere in the middle. 00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:21.279 It's it's like this weird thing. 00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:27.359 And I think that and I s yeah, sorry, like before the game they did a segment with him and Drake May. 00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:38.000 Like they they were basically trying to like show like project that they're like best friends, and like it was it just like kind of made me sick, like even watching that, because I'm like I felt bad for Jalen Hurts. 00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:50.960 You know, I don't know all the details of what went sour in that relationship, but but yeah, I was just like that's like that's annoying that he's acting like Drake May is like the greatest guy ever, and like really you know, definitely disrespected Jalen Hurts in a sense, you know. 00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:55.759 Yeah, and and I I don't think it is a coincidence that he took number one. 00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:57.200 Um you know what I mean? 00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:01.759 There's like this bad it they really are like kind of like you know, in a feud almost. 00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:08.079 It's like maybe they were so close as friends that then you know it became like that that friction got a little too hot. 00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:08.720 Yeah. 00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:19.279 Yeah, I mean there you we could talk all podcasts about it, but I I mean I think with Saint Kwan's success was part of it, but but you know, like the the the big thing here is it's it's week one. 00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:23.839 This is the first time we're ever doing said hike podcast before week one of the Eagles. 00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:25.599 So this is super exciting night for us. 00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:27.200 It's pretty special too, right? 00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:29.279 Yeah, every podcast is special. 00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:33.519 This one's particularly but this one's the special special most special. 00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:34.079 Yeah. 00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:34.640 Yeah. 00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:40.079 This one's very special, and we wanted to really like celebrate this moment in a sense. 00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:44.720 Week one, Eagles were very excited for the season. 00:19:44.720

00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:45.200 I would say like for the season, you know. 00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:52.480 I'm just thinking we're we're here in year six of Siriani and Hertz as the full time, you know, if Hertz is the full-time starter. 00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:56.000 You know, it's like I'm like, is this a Super Bowl contender? 00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:57.279 Is it a playoff team? 00:23:57.279 --> 00:24:01.759 And then I even hear some people say that it's not a, you know, they they might miss the playoffs. 00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:07.119 So kind of where are you on that spectrum of where you think the Eagles are at this moment in time? 00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:13.599 Well, certainly in terms of talent, the Eagles have the talent to be a Super Bowl contender. 00:24:13.599 --> 00:24:25.279 I think if there's any uncertainty, it has to do with the fact that they're going to a completely different offensive system than they've ever run before for everybody. 00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:30.160 If the offensive everything has changed for the offensive line, everything has changed for the quarterback. 00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:35.519 They they've lost AJ Brown, who was their top passing game weapon. 00:24:35.519 --> 00:24:43.039 So I think there's a lot there's a lot offensively to be to be shown here, but there's certainly still a lot of talent. 00:24:43.039 --> 00:24:51.279 If the offensive line is healthy, yeah, it should be a productive offense, assuming that the new offensive coordinator knows what he's doing. 00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:54.720 And everybody knows the defense is the defense. 00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:56.240 You know, it's Vic Fangio. 00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:00.079 Every year that he's been here, it's been a very, very good defense. 00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:05.039 It even if it's not the very best you ever saw, it's it's good, you know. 00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:13.599 Uh so yeah, they're they're contenders, but it's a tough div it's tough not a tough division, but a tough conference. 00:25:13.599 --> 00:25:17.680 I'm watching right now the Rams and the 49ers from Melbourne. 00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:28.559 Yeah, and the Rams are supposedly a super team after you know acquiring Miles Garrett and Trent McDuffie and people like that, and and even getting Aaron Donald out of retirement. 00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:28.960 Yeah. 00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:34.799 So, you know, nothing is assured for the

Eagles, but certainly they're they're a strong contender. 00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:40.400 Leslie like the I uh I can't think of a better person less than to you to talk about. 00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:50.160 Now, I I believe maybe in the Eagles history and Eagles or uh Packers' former quarterback coach may have become an important factor in the Eagles history. 00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:51.839 Uh there was this guy named Andy. 00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:53.200 I I can't remember what was it? 00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:54.000 Andy Reid. 00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:54.799 That's it. 00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:59.519 So, you know, I actually think about this a lot that there may be some analogies here. 00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:08.319 You know, I wonder if you feel that there's some parallels where, you know, you had that vaunted Jim Johnson defense, which is almost uh the yin to the yang of Fangio, right? 00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:15.839 That was just Jim Johnson would just absolutely just blitz people to heck, and he had the back, you know, the secondary to back it up. 00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:20.720 You know, do you feel like Mannion could have a similar impact the way Andy Reed did early in his career? 00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:22.480 Yeah, that is a good parallel. 00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:22.960 You're right. 00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:38.240 I mean, they're very different in that Andy Reed never played in the NFL, but he had been a coach for a while, even though if he hadn't been a coordinator or a head coach, he had been coaching in the league for a few teams, you know, and and several years. 00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:41.440 Sean Mannion was playing just a couple years ago. 00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:56.720 He's a very inexperienced coach, but he also knows an awful lot about offense systems, and you know, he seems like a really sharp guy, and yeah, I think they're pretty confident he can do this. 00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:03.359 But you're right, the those teams, the early Andy Reed teams, I started covering the Eagles in 2002. 00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:08.720 So it wasn't like the first year of Andy, it was like the third year of Andy, I guess, or fourth. 00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:20.559 And those early teams didn't have a lot of offensive talent other than Donovan McNabb and a pretty good offensive line, and maybe Deuce Staley. 00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:24.079 But they had a great defense, and that was a bit of a shame. 00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:29.200 I think if they'd had a little more offensive talent, they would have won a Super Bowl. 00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:51.759 But the window for the defense kind of closed a little early for them, you know, before McNabb was really everything he could be, and before they had the great talent around him that you know, and it but you know, the they obviously lost the Super Bowl in in 2005, just barely by three points. 00:27:51.759 --> 00:28:01.599 And then they had that year in 2008 where Deshaun Jackson was a rookie and he was incredible, and you know, they were

the offense was good enough that year. 00:28:01.759 --> 00:28:04.240 Yeah, NFC Championship that year to win. 00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:15.839 But the defense by that time, that was actually the year that Jim Johnson became ill and was by the playoffs, he was coaching from a mobile scooter, you know, dying of cancer. 00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:19.519 And, you know, the defense wasn't wasn't good enough by then. 00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:22.240 It had lost a lot of of talent. 00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:26.000 It's really hard to marry these things up in the NFL. 00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:28.160 You're spending money somewhere. 00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:32.799 And if you're spending it on your defense, maybe you're not spending it on your offense. 00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:42.160 And if you're spending it on your offense, maybe you're not, you know, maybe your defense isn't really doesn't have a lot of veteran all pros uh on it. 00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:44.319 Uh it's a tricky thing to get right. 00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:44.960 Oh yeah. 00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:47.359 Um Hey Les, I just I want to jump in real quick. 00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:49.119 I I'm stat boy over here on this team. 00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:56.720 I I tend to just help out with some just fact-checking, but I I'm just impressed by all the encyclopedia knowledge that you retain for the Eagles history. 00:28:56.720 --> 00:28:59.359 I mean, I'm sitting here and just being like, oh man, I remember that, remember that. 00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:08.319 So hearing you recall that is amazing, and and listening to your voice, basically you're your speaking of your your articles that you've written are is fantastic. 00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:20.319 But I guess the the one piece I wanted to bring up there was that like Sean Mannion right now, I know he's been talking about him and his being kind of a useful coach right now from an offensive corner standpoint, but what I mean, do you see him similar to in the ways of like Kellen Moore? 00:29:20.319 --> 00:29:24.480 Because Kellen Moore was a former player and it's a 38-year-old head coach now. 00:29:24.480 --> 00:29:28.319 So are we just kind of like doing the same thing with with like a Kellen Moore? 00:29:28.319 --> 00:29:30.160 I'll sign up for the two-year cycle, right? 00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:31.759 We're on the good part of the cycle, Les. 00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:32.880 This is the Super Bowl year. 00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:34.720 It seems to work for our coach. 00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:37.279 Why don't we why don't we figure I'll stick in this cycle forever? 00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:38.720 Yeah, I'll be honest with you. 00:29:39.519 --> 00:29:41.759 Yeah, well, there are a lot of similarities. 00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:45.680 Same deal, backup quarterback, you know, really smart. 00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:49.200 But Kellen Moore had been a coach a little longer with the Eagles. 00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:56.880 Also, the biggest difference is they didn't really change the offense that much when they went to Kellen Moore. 00:29:56.880 --> 00:30:02.240 I mean, it's been there's a lot said about oh, they have a different offensive coordinator every year. 00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:18.079 But it until now, it's always the offense they were running, and the different coordinators would put a different bin on it every time, you know, and and with Moore, that was the year they got Saquon Barkley and they figured out the bye week. 00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:19.119 They were two in two. 00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:25.440 They went to the bye week and figured out that, hey, you know, we have a great offensive line, we have Saquon Barkley. 00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:27.440 Maybe we should be a running team. 00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:28.559 And they did that. 00:30:28.559 --> 00:30:31.680 And Ciriani shaved his head at that time, too, right? 00:30:31.680 --> 00:30:32.160 Yeah. 00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:37.599 Yeah, it was like it was like De Niro in Taxi, uh, you know, taxi drive driveway. 00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:43.680 It was pretty pretty graphic, but fortunately, I don't think any any homicides have been confirmed during that time. 00:30:43.680 --> 00:30:52.799 But I think Les, another good point you make is, yeah, perhaps the the departure of Stoutland may be a bigger change than what we'll see. 00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:56.559 And, you know, I I think I'm a, you know, I'm a I have a background. 00:30:56.559 --> 00:31:05.279 I I played some college ball and I was I was trained under kind of the zone schemes like Shanahan-esque acolyte over at Syracuse. 00:31:05.279 --> 00:31:08.240 And I I I'm a big believer in zone blocking. 00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:14.880 It's something where, you know, you hear Lane, you hear Jordan, you hear all the O linemen saying, hey, the rules get a lot simpler, man. 00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:19.119 I go to this space, whatever jersey that's not my colors in that space, I hit it. 00:31:19.119 --> 00:31:26.640 And it'll be interesting to see how Saquon can maybe do the kind of run to the run to the uh stretch zone and make that cut. 00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:29.920 And I think Saquon would be really well managed for that. 00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:31.440 That's a very good point. 00:31:31.440 --> 00:31:33.599 And you illustrated it very well. 00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:36.559 My only qualm, well, I have two qualms with this. 00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:41.599 One is Stoutland is probably the best position coach in Eagles history. 00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:43.440 Yeah, oh, totally agree. 00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:48.880 I mean, they sold those Stoutland University shirts and sweatshirts and things, you know, for a reason. 00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:49.359 Yeah. 00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:53.920 So you're losing something there, particularly in terms of player development. 00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:54.720 You know? 00:31:54.720 --> 00:32:06.640 But the other thing is all these guys that they have were acquired, drafted, signed, to play Stoutland's style. 00:32:06.640 -->

00:32:12.960 The pin pull, the duo, you know, the upfront, the inside zone kind of stuff. 00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:19.119 You wouldn't draft Landon Dickerson in the second round to play this system. 00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:19.839 Yeah. 00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:20.640 Great point. 00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:25.200 I mean, he runs, I don't know what he runs, but it's like a 5'2 40 or something. 00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:27.839 You know, I mean, he's not he's not a guy. 00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:31.599 I mean, Elaine Johnson is a unicorn. 00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:32.640 He can do anything. 00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:34.160 I mean, he's so athletic. 00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:34.480 Yeah. 00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:38.000 He's the best offensive lineman ever. 00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:41.680 You know, he was the fourth overall pick in the draft. 00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:47.200 Sure, you can you can run outside zone with him, even at age 36. 00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:53.440 But I don't know, you know, that you can that you're gonna be successful with some of these guys. 00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:59.440 Fred Johnson is their top swing tackle, you know, the guy who's gonna come in if either of the tackles get hurt. 00:32:59.440 --> 00:33:03.200 Fred's not an outside zone, and he had a bad training camp. 00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:07.519 You know, I mean, he's a big, powerful guy who doesn't move very well. 00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:09.920 And this is not that kind of system. 00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:20.240 You know, I this system maybe guys like Willie Lampkin maybe are a little more, you know, of what the system requires. 00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:20.799 I don't know. 00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:22.799 I mean, I never played any of this song. 00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:24.880 Oh no, you just said Willie Lampkin. 00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:27.599 Yeah, you just hit. 00:33:27.599 --> 00:33:38.079 I mean, i i I was a fan as a child of the Pee-wee Herman show, and you know, everyone go crazy with a special word, but Willie Lampkin is someone on this podcast that I've been singing his praises for a long time. 00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:42.640 He actually was a Ram initially, and we poached him from the practice squad. 00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:51.519 I thought both he and Mark Lell were like really some of the bright spots of a very rather dismal, you know, offensive output this preseason. 00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:59.200 And so I I'd be very interested to see if the opportunity presents itself, whether or not either of those two would go in. 00:33:59.200 --> 00:34:01.440 But you know, I think you have to have some constant too. 00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:03.440 You have to have some consternation with that, right, Les? 00:34:03.440 --> 00:34:14.320 I mean, when you're that green, I mean, i it's it's one thing in the preseason, but man, when you're going against Dexter Lawrence, who I guess he's a Bengle now, but you know, the big names in on the defensive line. 00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:14.800 Yeah. 00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:18.480 Yeah, I

think Lambton has to play center in real games. 00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:25.599 I mean, I know they used him at guard some in the preseason, but I don't see him playing guard, you know, in the regular season. 00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:26.079 Agreed. 00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:30.639 I mean, maybe I'm wrong, but I think you can be a center and be really small. 00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:32.800 He's he's like 280. 00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:35.760 I guess he whatever his height is, 5'10, 5'11. 00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:40.800 Jason Kelsey, who I'm watching right now on a commercial on the on the game. 00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:52.559 When Jason Kelsey showed up with the Eagles as a sixth-round pick, a converted linebacker from Cincinnati, he wa he was taller than William Apkin, but he weighed about 280. 00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:55.440 He wasn't, you know, he wasn't very big. 00:34:55.440 --> 00:35:07.519 You can get away with having a small center unless he's playing like a gigantic new nose-tackle who's incredibly, you know, powerful and and overwhelming. 00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:11.599 You could certainly have a small center, but I don't know about guard. 00:35:11.599 --> 00:35:13.920 I don't know you can have a guy that size playing guard. 00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:14.960 Maybe you can. 00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:15.599 I don't know. 00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:18.159 But uh it it doesn't seem likely to me. 00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:18.880 Yeah. 00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:19.360 Yeah. 00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:19.920 Yeah. 00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:21.760 I mean, staying on the offense. 00:35:21.760 --> 00:35:25.920 I mean, yeah, so like I'm trying to envision how this the season might go. 00:35:25.920 --> 00:35:32.559 I'm I'm really hoping that you know Saquon and the offensive line can regain that form of the Super Bowl year. 00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:37.920 I'm really excited for Devontae Smith to be the number one and a team captain this year. 00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:46.639 I did want to get your thoughts, Les, on where where I'm kind of thinking how it might go is that second passing option behind Devante. 00:35:46.639 --> 00:35:54.000 Like it could either be Lemon, it could be Dontavian Wicks, it could be, and then we still got Dallas Goddard as well. 00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:54.480 Right. 00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:54.719 Yeah. 00:35:54.719 --> 00:36:00.559 Um obviously I think they were hoping Eli Stowers would be, you know, in that discussion too. 00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:09.039 But but yeah, just wanted to get your thoughts on yeah, like in order for us to be a Super Bowl contender, we will need a a good second passing option. 00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:09.920 No doubt. 00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:10.880 Absolutely. 00:36:10.880 --> 00:36:19.679 And I think even though I don't fault the Eagles for the whole AJ Brown thing, I think that was all AJ Brown's doing. 00:36:19.679 --> 00:36:20.079 Yeah. 00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:25.440 It's a huge, it's a huge uh thing to take away, you know? 00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:26.719 I mean, it really is. 00:36:26.719 --> 00:36:36.320 And it didn't help at all that Lemon missed so much time and was really rusty when he finally got in that last preseason game. 00:36:36.320 --> 00:36:41.119 I can't imagine that guy's really ready to make much of a contribution right now. 00:36:41.119 --> 00:36:46.559 I think it's gonna have to be Wicks and Goddard, you know, other than Smith. 00:36:46.559 --> 00:36:50.320 And I think you're gonna see him run the ball a lot, at least in week one. 00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:58.559 You're facing a defense that you ought to be able to do that against, and a team that's probably not gonna score a whole lot of points against you. 00:36:58.559 --> 00:37:05.840 I I would think they'd be you know, Lemon eventually, but right now, no. 00:37:05.840 --> 00:37:12.159 And even when Lemon gets going, he's never gonna physically be AJ Brown. 00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:26.000 And Devontae, as great a receiver as he is, and I love the guy, and I you know, I was there the night that he was drafted in Cleveland, and I went to his hometown in Louisiana and did a story when he was a rookie. 00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:28.480 But he's physically, he's not A.J. 00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:29.199 Brown either. 00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:41.039 You know, I mean, that the guy that can just outphysical the defense and get a jump ball, you know, anytime you want, I it's it's it's awful to lose that. 00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:41.760 It really is. 00:37:41.760 --> 00:37:42.639 It's tough. 00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:44.880 It's gonna be very, very tough. 00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:48.880 And it's not gonna be you're gonna feel that loss. 00:37:48.880 --> 00:37:54.400 You know, it's not gonna be like, oh, you know, we who even remembers that they had AJ Grapp. 00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:56.239 I mean, it's not gonna be like that. 00:37:56.559 --> 00:37:56.960 Yeah. 00:37:56.960 --> 00:37:57.599 Yeah. 00:37:57.599 --> 00:38:00.400 Yeah, I think with Wicks himself, I mean, just the player. 00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:05.119 I mean, I watched a little bit of him in Green Bay, and I think he has the capability of separating really well. 00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:07.920 I think he can find open space on the field and get open. 00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:10.400 The problem with him is making the catch. 00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:12.400 And I feel like that's where we'll feel it, right? 00:38:12.400 --> 00:38:24.400 We'll we'll have this situation where we, oh, he's open, we got it, and then he drops it almost like an Al Nelson Aguilar situation where, you know, it should have been caught, and it's like now we're we're remembering what AJ would have done there in that situation. 00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:26.159 Yeah, that's a killer too. 00:38:26.159 --> 00:38:36.639 You know, if you watched that game last night, Romeo Dobbs, uh the one drop he had right before an interception probably changed the game. 00:38:36.639 --> 00:38:37.519 You know? 00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:40.719 I

mean, you can say, well, that happens to everybody. 00:38:40.719 --> 00:38:45.360 He was trying to run with it before he caught it, and then it does, but it changed the game. 00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:46.239 It really did. 00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:46.559 Right. 00:38:46.559 --> 00:38:54.239 He's probably you know, had more to do with the team losing than almost anything else that happened other than that final play at the very end. 00:38:54.239 --> 00:38:57.440 But you know, it you can't have that. 00:38:57.440 --> 00:39:05.360 You just unless your margin for error is is huge, you know, that's that's gonna be a problem. 00:39:05.760 --> 00:39:06.559 Yeah, yeah. 00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:07.280 But yeah. 00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:12.159 But it's a great opportunity for them for Wicks, Goddard, so we're super excited about that. 00:39:12.159 --> 00:39:14.239 How about one question on the defense, too? 00:39:14.239 --> 00:39:17.360 Obviously, so many stars, so much talent, like you said. 00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:21.199 One guy I've been hearing a lot of hype about is Jelix Hunt. 00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:25.840 Do you think do you think he could emerge as like a real leader on the defense this year? 00:39:26.159 --> 00:39:27.760 It sure looks like it, guys. 00:39:27.760 --> 00:39:40.800 I mean, I don't know, but I I love he had a great year last year, uh kind of under the radar, kind of building his the deal with him is so he was a safety at Cornell. 00:39:40.800 --> 00:39:42.880 Yeah, that's crazy. 00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:43.840 It's incredible. 00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:47.199 Uh and he hasn't really played edge rusher that long. 00:39:47.199 --> 00:39:54.079 And he at a very high level, you know, and he really needed the work and the coaching and all that stuff. 00:39:54.079 --> 00:39:56.639 But I think there's a lot to be developed there. 00:39:56.639 --> 00:40:03.760 You know, I think there's an incredible amount of talent that can, you know, that they can tap into. 00:40:03.760 --> 00:40:10.320 And that I I really think he's gonna be he's gonna be very, very prominent this year, and they're gonna need him to be. 00:40:10.320 --> 00:40:16.960 You know, their edge rush last year wasn't great, wasn't as good as it was the uh the Super Bowl year. 00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:18.320 And they were very lucky. 00:40:18.320 --> 00:40:21.840 They got Jalen Phillips during the season, and he helped quite a bit. 00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:22.480 Yeah. 00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:29.440 But he's gone, and the guy that they signed to replace him, we don't know when he's gonna play. 00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:33.360 I can't imagine it'll be this week, even though they're trying to be cagey about that. 00:40:33.360 --> 00:40:39.360 So they're getting the Jalex Hunt to have a huge year, I think, to be to be really great. 00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:46.239 I mean, not to be okay, but to be really great, they're gonna need double-digit sacks from a guy like that, probably. 00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:47.119 Well, that's a lot. 00:40:47.119 --> 00:40:56.159 Now, Les, when I when I squint my eyes and I look at Jalex Hunt playing, I sometimes I think about a fifth round pick out of Cincinnati uh by the name of Trent Cole. 00:40:56.159 --> 00:41:00.960 I mean, I think he really I mean, that might be the ceiling for this guy, which would be stupendous, right? 00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:01.519 I'll take that. 00:41:01.679 --> 00:41:02.960 I mean it sure would. 00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:03.360 Yeah. 00:41:03.360 --> 00:41:07.840 It was unfortunate for Trent that he never played on a great team, you know. 00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:18.239 His career was spent late Andy Reid and early Chip Kelly, you know, before Doug Peterson came on board and before they started going to the Super Bowl again. 00:41:18.239 --> 00:41:24.559 Trent kind of gets lost in the people don't talk about Trent a whole lot, but that was a great player, it really was. 00:41:24.559 --> 00:41:26.800 And that's a good that's a good pull. 00:41:26.800 --> 00:41:28.159 I think, yeah. 00:41:28.159 --> 00:41:37.519 I think Trent wasn't a big guy, which is why he was drafted in the fifth round, you know, and but he had that incredible quickness and that intensity. 00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:43.440 He did that his his eyes were just like uh, you know, this is a guy who's crazy, you know. 00:41:43.760 --> 00:41:45.360 I mean his eyes actually looked really good too. 00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:46.960 If you actually looked at it, it's just go eyes. 00:41:46.960 --> 00:41:47.760 Yeah, yeah. 00:41:47.920 --> 00:41:52.239 He it it's just I I I find that it's just been well it's really cool. 00:41:52.239 --> 00:41:56.480 And I I think you were you've been able to see uh the ebb and flow of the Eagles. 00:41:56.480 --> 00:42:00.239 And I think once Andy Reid came in, it it really changed. 00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:03.039 Uh and I think in concert with Jeffrey Laurie, right? 00:42:03.039 --> 00:42:08.000 The the Eagles became a far different team than they were back in the early 90s, right? 00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:13.599 You know, you did have uh the great Ray Rhodes, gangrene, and I think were you in Charlotte at that time, Les? 00:42:13.599 --> 00:42:16.159 I or where when did you get to the city of Philadelphia? 00:42:16.159 --> 00:42:19.039 I know you covered the Sixers and the uh Flyers as well. 00:42:19.360 --> 00:42:20.639 Yeah, mostly Flyers. 00:42:20.639 --> 00:42:23.199 I uh we moved to Philly in '83, actually. 00:42:23.199 --> 00:42:24.079 Oh yes. 00:42:24.079 --> 00:42:24.639 Wow. 00:42:24.639 --> 00:42:25.519 That's a good year. 00:42:25.519 --> 00:42:27.360 Yeah, I was in Charlotte before that. 00:42:27.360 --> 00:42:28.079 Yeah. 00:42:28.079 --> 00:42:37.519 But I was I was a copy editor at the Daily News for a while, you know, writing headlines and reading really good writing, which helped me quite a bit. 00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:48.079 Reading Mark Wicker and Stan Hockman and Rich Hoffman and some of the best,

yeah. 00:42:48.079 --> 00:42:54.480 So but and I started covering the Flyers in '89, and I covered them until 2002. 00:42:54.480 --> 00:42:56.639 I the whole Eric Lindras era. 00:42:56.639 --> 00:42:58.079 I covered the Flyers. 00:42:58.079 --> 00:43:04.800 But I paid attention to the Eagles, obviously, you can't be in Philadelphia and not know what's going on with the Eagles. 00:43:04.800 --> 00:43:07.920 Yeah, it's you're right, though. 00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:15.599 This century is so different for young people who become Eagles fans. 00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:20.880 They have no idea what I think being an Eagles fan was like for so many years. 00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:26.239 And even before I moved here, you know, the there was so little. 00:43:26.239 --> 00:43:28.960 The Eagles never had good ownership. 00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:30.960 They never had their own building. 00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:41.760 It was they won the NFL championship in 1948 and 49, and the team was sold between those two seats. 00:43:41.760 --> 00:43:43.360 That's a wild fact. 00:43:43.360 --> 00:43:44.239 That is strange. 00:43:44.239 --> 00:43:45.440 I mean, that speaks volume. 00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:50.079 No, I mean, it was just never a stable, solid organization. 00:43:50.079 --> 00:43:55.199 Leonard Toase tried to move the team to Arizona, almost did. 00:43:55.199 --> 00:43:56.159 Yeah. 00:43:56.159 --> 00:43:59.440 You know, it was just always. 00:43:59.440 --> 00:44:05.360 kind of like a bad organization that occasionally had good teams, you know? 00:44:05.360 --> 00:44:05.920 Yeah. 00:44:05.920 --> 00:44:09.440 And so Lurie bought the team and things changed. 00:44:09.440 --> 00:44:14.400 And it took a little while for things to really develop. 00:44:14.400 --> 00:44:27.360 But you know, this century has been so much better than anything that ever happened before in terms of consistent winning and you know expectations from year to year. 00:44:27.360 --> 00:44:31.280 Yeah, they don't win every year, obviously, but they win games every year. 00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:35.440 They're never they're almost never a terrible team, you know. 00:44:35.760 --> 00:44:36.079 Yeah. 00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:38.400 Yeah, Les, you bring up a great point. 00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:43.440 I have a seven-year-old son, and so he's he's really just always known as you know playoff run. 00:44:43.440 --> 00:44:48.480 And we were talking about the record for the season and I told my son his name's Tommy. 00:44:48.480 --> 00:44:51.760 I told him, you know, they I think they're going to go 11 and 6. 00:44:51.760 --> 00:44:53.920 And he was like 11 and 6. 00:44:53.920 --> 00:45:04.480 And you know, I mean they're just I'll take that you know the the child has seen three 14 and three seasons in seven, you know, uh of 40% of his life. 00:45:04.480 --> 00:45:06.960 So I I think we have enjoyed it. 00:45:07.199 --> 00:45:07.440 Yeah. 00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:13.599 40 years ago if you told an Eagles fan they were going to win 11 games in the season, they would have been ecstatic. 00:45:13.599 --> 00:45:16.320 You know it was it was pretty grim. 00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:19.199 Yeah they'd say I'd I'm smoking what you're going to smoke, man. 00:45:19.199 --> 00:45:21.519 That's because that was not what was coming. 00:45:21.519 --> 00:45:25.519 But but yeah so uh thanks again for taking the time with us last year. 00:45:25.519 --> 00:45:27.519 What are your thoughts on the overall season? 00:45:27.920 --> 00:45:32.880 You know I think uh we'll see what this offense does and we'll see if they're healthy. 00:45:32.880 --> 00:45:46.159 The O-line if the O-line stays healthy and this offense and the offensive coordinator you know aren't terrible it'll they'll win the East again even though I think Dallas is going to be good this year. 00:45:46.159 --> 00:45:46.400 Yeah. 00:45:46.400 --> 00:45:50.159 I don't think the commanders of the Giants are going to be really good. 00:45:50.159 --> 00:45:53.360 You know they might be mediocre but they're not going to be good. 00:45:53.360 --> 00:46:01.360 I think they win the division and we'll see what happens after that in the playoffs with all these teams like the Rams that are supposed to be great. 00:46:01.360 --> 00:46:14.159 You know we'll see if they get sometimes you I know from my years of covering the Flyers, you know, you get to the playoffs and you're thinking oh you can't get past this team and then that team loses to somebody else. 00:46:14.159 --> 00:46:19.760 And you're like, oh well they could have gotten past that team actually because they wouldn't have played them. 00:46:19.760 --> 00:46:20.800 Yeah that's true. 00:46:20.800 --> 00:46:26.960 You know I mean you don't know what the Rams that they're going to play the Rams in the playoffs or that the Rams are going to be healthy. 00:46:26.960 --> 00:46:38.639 You know Matthew Stafford's 37 years old who knows you know but I think the Eagles will have a good year I think 11 or 12 wins and I think we'll just see what happens when they get to January. 00:46:39.119 --> 00:46:39.599 Yep. 00:46:39.920 --> 00:46:43.280 So Les I know we're kind of I know we're we really appreciate your time tonight. 00:46:43.280 --> 00:46:46.800 We don't want to be spent we could spend all night talking yet honestly it's been so fun. 00:46:46.800 --> 00:46:47.280 Yeah. 00:46:47.280 --> 00:46:47.599 Yeah. 00:46:47.599 --> 00:46:57.039 But I mean one of the questions I really wanted to ask myself I know some breaking news came out recently that uh Sean Marion uh will be in the booth for this game. 00:46:57.039 --> 00:47:03.360 And I think a lot of our internal discussions with amongst the team here is, you know, what what kind of uh coaching do you like? 00:47:03.360 --> 00:47:05.440 Do you like being the booth or rather be on the sideline? 00:47:05.440 --> 00:47:06.800 And I know you're a press box guy. 00:47:06.800 --> 00:47:08.239 You know you you wrote from the press box.

00:47:08.480 --> 00:47:15.679 Yeah I never well I you know early in my career in Charlotte I covered a semi trade team. 00:47:15.679 --> 00:47:24.480 It was really a lot of fun and some of the a lot of the players actually played in the USFL after they played for that team but I was on the sideline a lot. 00:47:24.480 --> 00:47:27.360 And the thing that I learned is you can't see a damn thing. 00:47:27.360 --> 00:47:29.119 That's a great point. 00:47:29.119 --> 00:47:43.599 I mean you get a very good feel for what people are thinking and what they're you know the emotions and the hitting and and things like that but you can't see much from the field level at all. 00:47:43.599 --> 00:47:59.039 And I think as a first time play caller probably it will benefit him to be up high he he loses that visceral you know walk up to Jalen Hurts and you know look him in the eye kind of thing. 00:47:59.039 --> 00:48:35.679 But he's got to be able to see what the defense is doing and I know they have tablets now and all that stuff but I would rather be watching this unfold myself if I were him you know at least in the early going who knows I mean there's no rule that says he can't switch it up if he if he wants to you know but I I kind of think maybe upstairs is a cleaner way to do it in the early going less chaotic less prone to you know screwing up real bad if that makes any sense. 00:48:35.679 --> 00:48:36.320 Right. 00:48:36.719 --> 00:48:38.079 No I totally I totally agree. 00:48:38.800 --> 00:48:41.199 For the record you sound like you're a pro booth. 00:48:41.199 --> 00:48:44.400 He's pro early booth until he gets his feet on the ground. 00:48:44.880 --> 00:48:58.559 But really but I think I think you especially if you're inexperienced at this which he is extremely but I think you like I said you get a better view of everything. 00:48:58.559 --> 00:49:10.480 You have a clearer picture of exactly what's happening out there who's not getting what block and you know why the the the shift in the defense is causing so much problems. 00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:16.719 Rather than having someone relay this information to you you're seeing it with your own eyes you know it's true. 00:49:16.719 --> 00:49:19.599 And there might come a time when you don't need that information. 00:49:19.599 --> 00:49:20.159 Right. 00:49:20.159 --> 00:49:24.320 Yeah but first week sure you know do that. 00:49:24.639 --> 00:49:29.679 Yeah I mean I think you know the first game's home right so I think you're describing all the tactical advantages of that. 00:49:29.679 --> 00:49:39.679 Me personally just knowing Philadelphia fans I think it's beneficial to be in the booth because when you make a terrible 32 call and it goes wrong, you're not going to get destroyed by the fans terrific. 00:49:40.639 --> 00:49:46.079 Do you guys less do you think the coaching booth and maybe the press box too do they have battery resistant windows? 00:49:46.400 --> 00:50:01.519 Is that is that something that's

been developed Oh God probably so yeah but it's interesting one thing though in the press box and I think this is probably true in the coaching booth you don't really hear the crowd like you do if you're in the crowd. 00:50:01.519 --> 00:50:07.119 You know you're kind of isolated a little bit and for a coach that's probably good. 00:50:07.119 --> 00:50:22.079 For a writer it was a little bit frustrating sometimes because I'd have to I'd see on social media that fans were yelling something or you know there was a certain reaction to something and I couldn't really tell you know that's great. 00:50:22.400 --> 00:50:27.599 Yeah it's great to get insight from that like your life experience being in the press box. 00:50:27.599 --> 00:50:28.480 That's very cool. 00:50:28.480 --> 00:50:52.639 Just one last question related to that Les like just from a career perspective do you have like like I'm sure a lot of our listeners are like in admiration that you got to work at Eagles games like in the sports industry like do you have any advice for Mobile I guess either young writers like even if someone like realizes they have a real skill at writing like w what would be your advice to I know that I know the industry's changing. 00:50:52.639 --> 00:50:54.480 How do we beat out the robots less? 00:50:55.920 --> 00:51:01.679 We need the future less boned I am so I wish I could give you a better answer. 00:51:01.679 --> 00:51:33.440 Yeah honest to God when I I was an English major in college and I got a a a job working in the sports department of the Charlotte paper when I was a sophomore you know just kind of t answering the phone and stuff like that and I was I really liked it and I wanted to do it and there was no thought whatsoever that this job would ever disappear or become endangered you know it it it was this was how people knew about stuff. 00:51:33.440 --> 00:51:36.159 You know it's not like that now. 00:51:36.159 --> 00:51:37.440 It's so different. 00:51:37.440 --> 00:51:46.239 And writing isn't really treasured I don't think or really you know I don't think it's hard to it's it's hard to build value as a writer. 00:51:46.239 --> 00:52:01.280 It's all about like what you guys do, like podcasting or you know having outrageous things which is not at all what I mean there's nothing wrong with podcasting but I wanted to make a living as a writer. 00:52:01.280 --> 00:52:05.280 You know, I was an English major I wasn't a great athlete or anything. 00:52:05.280 --> 00:52:11.280 I just wanted to make a living writing somehow and I didn't know how to become a famous novelist or anything. 00:52:11.280 --> 00:52:16.639 So this seemed like a good alternative but I don't know that you can do that anymore. 00:52:16.639 --> 00:52:22.239 I don't people who really make a good living writing it's rare. 00:52:22.239 --> 00:52:30.400 It's so rare and I don't want to discourage anybody but it it's I don't want to say it's impossible but it's improbable at this point. 00:52:30.400 --> 00:52:43.920 You know you have to be a media conglomerate of some sort you know with TikTok and and other you know things that you have going to get noticed and to get hired. 00:52:43.920 --> 00:52:48.880 I don't think employers really treasure you know good writing. 00:52:48.880 --> 00:52:52.320 I don't think people pay for good writing you know on the internet. 00:52:52.320 --> 00:52:53.679 It I hate it. 00:52:53.760 --> 00:53:10.400 I it's it's off yeah that that's terrible I mean I think you know looking at just your past and when you retired you know you really kind of mentioned you know you you're all about like writing as the sports like you you encourage to create a voice and then in your sense you were more whimsical and sarcastic in some ways. 00:53:10.400 --> 00:53:32.880 And you know maybe we've gotten better at getting information and and being able to you know tell that information out in like a very direct way but the story that goes along with that that is something that you know is individualized and I think that's where you know for us here at this podcast we grew up in an era of football that we listened to you and we really enjoyed what you were telling as a story that really got us to love the Eagles. 00:53:32.960 --> 00:53:45.760 So it's such a hard time right now because it's so access is so curtailed to you know especially anything that isn't a press conference. 00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:49.519 It's very hard to get any sort of time alone with anybody. 00:53:49.519 --> 00:53:59.199 I like to write about people and what what people are what the writers are now being pushed into is well you don't have the access to people. 00:53:59.199 --> 00:54:18.239 So what you have is a lot of technology so you can write about you know film breakdowns and you can write about you know the McVeigh Shanahan system and you can write about whambox and yeah which is fine but that's not at all what I would say. 00:54:18.239 --> 00:54:20.880 I would have a hard time. 00:54:20.880 --> 00:54:24.000 That's uh I'm not an X and O person. 00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:29.039 I didn't play at any kind of level you know I I just I'm not that guy. 00:54:29.039 --> 00:54:34.320 You know and I think that's that's kind of where the the business is going. 00:54:34.320 --> 00:54:41.599 He's saying you know here's a screenshot of why this play didn't work, you know, that kind of stuff. 00:54:41.599 --> 00:54:45.039 And I God bless the people that can do that. 00:54:45.039 --> 00:54:47.039 That's not what I do. 00:54:47.679 --> 00:54:58.880 Yeah well Les we we listen to you and I think we thank you for all the special stories that you gave us and and we grew up learning and reading from you and and the rest of the Daily News and Inquire folks. 00:54:58.880 --> 00:55:04.800 So again thanks for your time and I I hope you have a good rest of your evening and I hope you watch the rest of this Melbourne game. 00:55:04.960 --> 00:55:11.760 We'll see uh what

00:58:12.320 --> 00:58:17.920 Is it a prime number is the player's number prime is the player on your fantasy team. 00:58:18.079 --> 00:58:30.880 Is the player on your fantasy team okay that doesn't help anybody I don't think he has wicks I think he's a player okay so it's a non-prime number white Eagles jersey is he current he's on the team this year. 00:58:30.880 --> 00:59:01.519 Yep okay offense offensive side offense okay it's on offense white jersey non-prime number non prime so one two he put thought into this three five seven nine none of those correct I think it's Devontae Smith I mean that is it six what does Statboy say he then I think I think it's probably yeah maybe maybe it's Hollywood Brown. 00:59:01.599 --> 00:59:24.559 He likes Hollywood Brown he's been talking about him I'm glad he made the team no way he's number zero which is a is that a prime number debatable depends who you ask I don't know yeah maybe it's inlignment nah he's not alignment you already have a Saquon jersey right it's Devontae's fit I don't know I think it's Devontae because he's sitting here waiting for me to give him a wrong answer too yeah what is it?

01:01:19.039 --> 01:01:44.000 Yeah I mean definitely yeah yeah yeah are there new menu items of interest did they tell you as a he hasn't been there yet right to realize these after he's been there there's something called email that they could have you know there's communication was that like literally the headline of the season is hey we have new meat pies this year I mean that's there new meat pies I don't I don't know if that in the email yeah I mean a sausage roll, a meat pie. 01:01:44.239 --> 01:01:52.559 They probably do have like a new one some sort of some sort of Frankfurter perhaps so question is had they done that in the past have they introduced new flavors because did they have the cheese? 01:01:54.320 --> 01:02:21.440 Yeah you're right yeah that was the new one yeah so maybe there is a new meat piece the lamb and rosemary is like the staple you know that's what is that what you're gonna get next to me in the yeah I'll probably get that yeah yeah now one of our one of our listeners shout out LD she gave us really she gifted an article to us you know Les Bone would be so happy if we were able to read I I don't know if you guys did the homework which was reading that article it was the Australian meat pie competition. 01:02:21.440 --> 01:02:30.880 Yeah oh yes yes and I she also goes to Cornell similar to JDX Hunt but it's not docs fully LD Yeah that's okay. 01:02:30.880 --> 01:02:40.960 But it was interesting to me because the the the judging they have different flavors like smoked wallaby have you ever eaten I didn't even know you're allowed to eat wallaby. 01:02:40.960 --> 01:02:52.400 You are because wallaby I think of Rocco's modern life was my favorite Nickelodeon yes that was a fantastic so I guess you can eat wallaby do you think it tastes good wallaby yeah if they're making meat pies out of it and they're not making it out of something you don't want to eat. 01:02:52.400 --> 01:03:18.079 I'll be honest with you I think when you pie something when you put something in a pie it doesn't have to be doesn't have to taste good because you're surrounding it by like a delicious um outer shell right isn't that how pies work no uh yeah I I we'd have to bring up the definition of a pie yeah so so you feel you honestly feel that the in part of a pie is critical to the success of the pie. 01:03:18.079 --> 01:03:23.440 If you pulled the meat feature out of the said pie, it you want to enjoy it. 01:03:23.440 --> 01:03:30.559 Yeah I mean if you just throw like a sauce and some potatoes you can throw almost any meat no one eats a nothing meat pie. 01:03:30.559 --> 01:03:32.400 They're called like mince pies. 01:03:32.400 --> 01:03:34.880 There's all kinds of different pies what do you put in a mince pie? 01:03:34.880 --> 01:03:41.119 I I don't know I think that's meat that's minced up yeah exactly a meat a shepherd's pie or like a pot chicken pot pie. 01:03:41.119 --> 01:03:47.679 Those are like meat is there a meat free pie actually I'll save this for a later episode future guest. 01:03:47.679 --> 01:04:10.400 Oh here we go oh no fantastic all right so the Washington Clarendons against the Philadelphia Eagles yeah the spread's five and a half tell me the odds yeah what are we I think we're looking at when you think Washington Clarendons like so Jaden Daniels I think of a hotel he kind of had a bad summer though he got kind of ridiculed on social media for some stupid things about LSU. 01:04:10.400 --> 01:04:22.800 He was mad that someone's wearing number five I think so my prediction is that the Philadelphia Eagles are going to win the game and they are going to cover the spread but it's going to be a low scoring game. 01:04:22.800 --> 01:04:26.000 I'm taking the under I believe is what is it 30 38? 01:04:26.800 --> 01:04:28.159 No it's 44 and a half. 01:04:28.400 --> 01:04:45.039 44 now I'm still taking the under we are going to win this game the Eagles are going to win 17 to three it's gonna be a dominant game just nice clean dominant three points that's not a dominant offensive performance that's scary. 01:04:45.039 --> 01:04:56.400 No it doesn't matter because they're not going to score they're not gonna move at all this offensive line is going to be completely outmatched by the Eagles front nothing make an ab boy like that channel 17 three folks you heard it here. 01:04:56.400 --> 01:04:57.679 How about you Panda?

01:16:30.159 --> 01:16:31.920 I consider him 49 for another year. 01:16:31.920 --> 01:16:32.640 Oh, yeah. 01:16:32.640 --> 01:16:34.640 So he has to relive this 50th year. 01:16:34.640 --> 01:16:36.640 If you miss the day, you don't get it. 01:16:36.640 --> 01:16:37.520 Like it's causes. 01:16:37.840 --> 01:16:39.359 So what about the people at the end of February? 01:16:39.359 --> 01:16:40.159 What what happens to them? 01:16:40.159 --> 01:16:41.840 Because every four years in a leapier, right? 01:16:42.000 --> 01:16:42.079 Yeah. 01:16:42.079 --> 01:16:43.760 So they're only, you know, I I know some. 01:16:43.760 --> 01:16:44.800 Quarter of their age? 01:16:44.800 --> 01:16:45.680 Much slower. 01:16:45.680 --> 01:16:50.880 Yeah, I I know I know two leapier people who are 11 and 12. 01:16:50.880 --> 01:16:51.279 Wow. 01:16:51.279 --> 01:16:52.720 You know, a little older than us.

01:16:52.720 --> 01:16:53.840 Interesting. 01:16:54.000 --> 01:16:54.239 Yeah. 01:16:54.239 --> 01:16:54.720 Okay. 01:16:54.720 --> 01:17:01.039 So the second piece here, I know we talked about the the unit of s of a second is the cesium atom, the frequency of. 01:17:01.039 --> 01:17:06.319 It's the isotrope cesium, the 133rd, which is the atomic mass of it, clearly. 01:17:06.319 --> 01:17:11.680 We talked about how, you know, if we could control the unit of time, how would we, you know, change it? 01:17:11.680 --> 01:17:15.920 Well, if we want to make the unit of time longer, we would have to figure out another atom to choose. 01:17:15.920 --> 01:17:19.520 So let's go with hydrogen one, the first isotrope of hydrogen. 01:17:19.520 --> 01:17:24.960 That will give you a frequency that is lower, which allows you to create the wavelength that is physically longer. 01:17:24.960 --> 01:17:34.880 So now you're looking at if you want to have the isolations of uh hydrogen one, you're actually gonna go six and a half times longer than the current unit of seconds. 01:17:34.880 --> 01:17:39.760 So basically it would take six seconds to equate to this new isotrope of hydrogen. 01:17:40.159 --> 01:17:41.439 Okay, and that sounds great to me. 01:17:41.439 --> 01:17:42.800 So I think we should start doing that. 01:17:42.800 --> 01:17:44.960 So if we want to change that, that's that's a good thing. 01:17:44.960 --> 01:17:55.439 Starting next week, we could so starting next week, the f uh a minute is actually for us will be sixty times, it'll be six minutes essentially, six and a half minutes for our minute. 01:17:55.439 --> 01:17:55.760 Yeah. 01:17:55.760 --> 01:17:56.960 Time's yours. 01:17:57.119 --> 01:17:57.439 Yeah. 01:17:57.439 --> 01:18:07.439 And then uh the number of seconds in the current units of uh of uh cesium is there's six hundred thousand four thousand six hundred four thousand eight hundred seconds in a week. 01:18:07.439 --> 01:18:08.399 That's nice. 01:18:08.399 --> 01:18:08.800 Yeah. 01:18:09.359 --> 01:18:09.439 Cool. 01:18:09.439 --> 01:18:10.800 And do you know what a jiffy is? 01:18:10.800 --> 01:18:12.000 That's actually a unit of time. 01:18:12.239 --> 01:18:13.039 A good old jiffy. 01:18:13.039 --> 01:18:14.720 Um one one hundredth of it. 01:18:14.720 --> 01:18:15.680 It's also a peanut butter. 01:18:15.680 --> 01:18:16.560 All right, next question. 01:18:16.560 --> 01:18:18.720 Which lies uh the buckeye, right? 01:18:18.720 --> 01:18:19.680 So what is the buckeye? 01:18:19.680 --> 01:18:25.760 It's a tree, it's a medium-sized tree in the soap berry family. 01:18:25.760 --> 01:18:26.239 Oh. 01:18:26.239 --> 01:18:28.560 It's the official state tree of Ohio. 01:18:28.560 --> 01:18:29.600 So a soap berry. 01:18:29.600 --> 01:18:31.760 And the buckeye is the nut of that. 01:18:31.760 --> 01:18:36.640 It's a glossy brown nut, and it has a a feature in it, a light tan patch in it. 01:18:36.640 --> 01:18:43.760 And you know, there's people that make these really delicious peanut butter chocolate desserts that are called the buckeyes, which essentially looks like that. 01:18:43.760 --> 01:18:45.920 So you gotta try them. 01:18:45.920 --> 01:18:48.640 And you know, Halloween's coming up, so we maybe maybe somebody will give out some of the things. 01:18:48.640 --> 01:18:50.399 I'll make some buckeyes for you, Dan. 01:18:50.399 --> 01:18:50.800 Yeah. 01:18:50.800 --> 01:18:51.920 I I'll do that for you. 01:18:52.239 --> 01:18:52.399 Yeah. 01:18:52.399 --> 01:18:54.960 I'm rooting for the longhorns in that game, there's that for eye. 01:18:54.960 --> 01:18:55.439 Oh, good. 01:18:55.439 --> 01:18:56.159 So you don't want the. 01:18:56.159 --> 01:18:59.119 But I think Ohio State You're not a shiny brown nut guy. 01:18:59.119 --> 01:19:04.399 I think the longhorns win that game, but I think the buckeyes win the national championship. 01:19:04.399 --> 01:19:10.239 You like your your horns long, your Johnson's white, and your your nuts shiny, brown nuts. 01:19:11.279 --> 01:19:14.399 RD department here had said, like, you guys I can't believe you guys messed it up. 01:19:14.399 --> 01:19:15.119 You said Randy?
