Bill O'Brien coming up a little bit. Head football coach at Boston College, but head coach of the Texans went to Penn State, was in the Alabama Hey goo, coach for Nick Saban for a minute and then it'll put you back into the program.

Was he a coordinator?

Was he a coordinator?

Yeah? Defensive coordinators, offensive coordinator? Was he not? I believe so yeah, because he's been a quarterback and wide receivers guy. So he'll be on from Boston College and just a little bit, so that'd be cool. What do I want to start? Let's do real sports for a seconds, real sports. Why did you yell real sports.

Yeah? Defensive coordinators, offensive coordinator? Was he not? I believe so yeah, because he's been a quarterback and wide receivers guy.

Because you said you want to do real sports.

Because you said you want to do real sports.

Well, I was gonna talk about sports about pick a ball for a second, but I want to do real sports first before we'd get to that. Actually, Deebo Samuel's going to the Commanders. Oh gosh, you're a Cowboys fan. How does it make you feel?

Well, I was gonna talk about sports about pick a ball for a second, but I want to do real sports first before we'd get to that. Actually, Deebo Samuel's going to the Commanders. Oh gosh, you're a Cowboys fan. How does it make you feel?

That's brutal, man, They're just stacking up over there. It's just gonna be hard. The Eagles are gonna be good again. Commanders, they're setting up to be good again. I mean, that's gonna leave the Cowboys in third place. Probably we're gonna have no chance with the playoffs again.

That's brutal, man, They're just stacking up over there. It's just gonna be hard. The Eagles are gonna be good again. Commanders, they're setting up to be good again. I mean, that's gonna leave the Cowboys in third place. Probably we're gonna have no chance with the playoffs again.

I mean, Aaron Rodgers probably goes to the Giants now, and he'll probably play pretty well. I can see him playing pretty well with the Giants, much better than you did with the Jets. Yeah, and like that, yeah, I mean, yeah, yeah, you know you're a Jets fan.

I mean, Aaron Rodgers probably goes to the Giants now, and he'll probably play pretty well. I can see him playing pretty well with the Giants, much better than you did with the Jets. Yeah, and like that, yeah, I mean, yeah, yeah, you know you're a Jets fan.

We're cursed.

We're cursed.

And also a longer time from that injury.

And also a longer time from that injury.

That's that the injuries, and he was playing better towards the end of the year.

That's that the injuries, and he was playing better towards the end of the year.

So the Deebo Samuel trade is to the Commanders for a fifth round pick, And it's not so much about the pick, because you're like, dang, he's pretty good. Why did he only get a fifth rounder? Mostly it was because of the basically eighteen million dollars salary and the fact that he's always hurt. So yeah, as a Cowboys fan, probably not what you want to hear.

We got Jonathan Mingo though, and gave our third round pick for him.

We got Jonathan Mingo though, and gave our third round pick for him.

He did that last just looking back at moves like that, you're just like, oh, and then the Commanders they give a pick a fourth round, they fit the round for freaking Deebo Samuel.

He did that last just looking back at moves like that, you're just like, oh, and then the Commanders they give a pick a fourth round, they fit the round for freaking Deebo Samuel.

It is just I feel like he's going to go off this year McLaurin. Yeah, and he's got something to prove now, and like they can use him in the run game.

It is just I feel like he's going to go off this year McLaurin. Yeah, and he's got something to prove now, and like they can use him in the run game.

Got a good quarterback. Yeah, that's gonna be pretty cool. The Commanders are starting to be a real team, which is weird because they haven't been in a long time. I mean the end of the Redskins, the Washington football team or club or whatever they were for a minute. The Commanders, they kind of suck. They've kind of been a team that sucked for a long time. Yeah, so you just think their color sucked, like anybody that colored a team that sucks, Like that's if a team is that bad that long that talked all about the Jaguars, Like if anyone is that kind of like bluish green, I'm like, they must suck because that's a loser color.

That's funny how you associate that, because yeah, what is that maroon? That ugly whatever it is?

That's funny how you associate that, because yeah, what is that maroon? That ugly whatever it is?

And I double year is a terrible looking logo. But I'm telling you a little bit of winning changes that you start to go it's pretty solid. W Like that's a good fund right there. So yeah, that sucks with the Cowboys because it looks like the commanders of New Ownership are starting to be a real life. They're starting to be a Pinocchio.

And I double year is a terrible looking logo. But I'm telling you a little bit of winning changes that you start to go it's pretty solid. W Like that's a good fund right there.

I'm a real boy. And you talked to Jaden, Daniel's like, what's he like?

I'm a real boy. And you talked to Jaden, Daniel's like, what's he like?

Chills could be chill as could be cool is the other side of the pillow? Cool as a cucumber, cool decice. He's willing the sack.

Like nothing. It seems like nothing gets to that guy. Yeah, yeah whatever.

Like nothing. It seems like nothing gets to that guy. Yeah, yeah whatever.

And I don't know if I would think that if people hadn't been saying that a lot on television, because talking heads are like, yeah, nothing affects him, And then when you meet him, and you've already had that built into you, you're like, oh, I see what they mean. If I were to have met him without that, I'd have been like I didn't care about anything. But because people that actually know him talking about him leave them. Plus, I'm not even super nice. He was like night, he was like good manners. You say, yes, sir, do you super polite?

Yeah?

Yeah?

So yeah, sorry, Deebo Sam is only twenty nine, which is crazy. He seems like he's about forty three because like he feels like it's my age. Commanders are optimistic obviously, or they wouldn't spend the eighteen million bucks on it. Other free agency stuff. We mentioned Aaron Rodgers because Stafford is resigning in LA and is getting getting his money for another couple of years. Aaron Rodgers obviously is not going to go to LA. I think that was the move. Had Stafford decided to go to the Giants or to the Raiders. Stafford stand in LA. It looks like Aaron Rodgers to the Giants. It's not a foregone conclusion, but it seems to be trending that way, which probably means they won't draft a quarterback, right.

I mean I don't know, because I think they're hoping that he can mentor.

I mean I don't know, because I think they're hoping that he can mentor.

But have they tried that Zach Zach Wilson.

But have they tried that Zach Zach Wilson.

Yeah, not a lot of mentor the Jets, Yeah, exactly so.

Yeah, not a lot of mentor the Jets, Yeah, exactly so.

Yeah, but again, he did get hurt immediately. Maybe in his older age he won't be such a douchebag, right.

Yeah, but again, he did get hurt immediately. Maybe in his older age he won't be such a douchebag, right.

He was humbled a little bit. We keep waiting for that.

He was humbled a little bit. We keep waiting for that.

Yeah, I know, you're right, that's a good point.

Yeah, I know, you're right, that's a good point.

It never happened, But like, he.

It never happened, But like, he.

Wasn't super warm with Jordan Love from any of the conversations I've had with people that know. But what's crazy is is that he wasn't treated warmly when he came up with Brett Faarr. Right, So you would think someone who kind of was treated like garbage wouldn't treat someone like garbage. And again i've my sources are seven out of ten's about the green Bay situation.

I don't know Aaron Rodgers. He also seems like the kind of guy that if you even let him know that he's going to go in a mentoring role, he's not cool with that. Like, I'm only here to play. I'm here to win. I don't care about the next generation. That's your problem, not mine.

And if you sign him, you sign him probably to a two year deal and you hope he is able to complete that contract. But you're going probably one, maybe two. But does he think that is the question? Right? Right? He may think he's superman. He's done, he's done just enough ayahuasca to feel like he's invincible. Stefan Diggs is a free agent.

Would you like Cowboys to have him, would love it. Brother and brother.

Would you like Cowboys to have him, would love it. Brother and brother.

I think there's nothing better than having family members together in one team.

I think there's nothing better than having family members together in one team.

Do they have enough money? Probably not, Yeah, especially if they gotta sign Michael Parsons.

Do they have enough money? Probably not, Yeah, especially if they gotta sign Michael Parsons.

Yep. I mean Dak took most of their money. Now they got to sign Michael Parsons's gonna take a good chunk of money.

Yep. I mean Dak took most of their money. Now they got to sign Michael Parsons's gonna take a good chunk of money.

I mean, Ceedee Lamb took a big part of it too.

I mean, Ceedee Lamb took a big part of it too.

Yes, I understand three players are taking a lot of the Cowboys money, but we did lose Zach Martin, so maybe that frees up a little bit of money. That tire sucks.

Yes, I understand three players are taking a lot of the Cowboys money, but we did lose Zach Martin, so maybe that frees up a little bit of money. That tire sucks.

So he retired and he was stables. Yeah, yeah, he was a stud that you treated that like it was a positive. And I'm here to tell you.

So he retired and he was stables. Yeah, yeah, he was a stud that you treated that like it was a positive. And I'm here to tell you.

Just money, just money wise. Yeah, it's almost like you can't replace that. You cannot replace that. But you look at it like, all right, that's us suck, that's tough for us, But that is some money that we have left over now. Now, maybe we can use that somewhere useful.

Just money, just money wise. Yeah, it's almost like you can't replace that. You cannot replace that. But you look at it like, all right, that's us suck, that's tough for us, But that is some money that we have left over now. Now, maybe we can use that somewhere useful.

But he's nowhere more useful than the offensive line. He retired. There's nothing we could do with Oh, I know, but you're acting like it's a good thing. You're talking yourself into it. I'm not allowing it. No, dude, it's getting worse.

But he's nowhere more useful than the offensive line. He retired. There's nothing we could do with Oh, I know, but you're acting like it's a good thing. You're talking yourself into it. I'm not allowing it. No, dude, it's getting worse.

Did you see him at the Honors? No, he was there.

Did you see him at the Honors? No, he was there.

I didn' see him.

I didn' see him.

Pretty cool to see him there, and I've never seen I've never seen him before.

Pretty cool to see him there, and I've never seen I've never seen him before.

He's a big man, Justin Fields. So the Steelers are reportedly leaning towards signing Fields over Russell Wilson as of this hour. I don't know what they're gonna do. For a while, it was Aaron Rodgers to the Steelers. He's kind of flirted with everybody. Yeah, but you know, if they signed Fields, it's more of a long term play. He's only twenty six years old. He was four and two before getting benched. But the defense was playing awesome. So that four and two. I'm not gonna say Justin Fields won four games, but he didn't play terrible. And Russell Wilson, I think was just going to be the guy until he wasn't. But Russ is a free agent. Raiders.

Yeah, what's the what are the Raiders doing over there?

Garoppolo, Russell Wilson.

Garoppolo, Russell Wilson.

He Carol Reunion. Yeah, well that'd be cool. I guess they kind of ended pretty poorly.

He Carol Reunion. Yeah, well that'd be cool. I guess they kind of ended pretty poorly.

I feel like it was sour any indications that I had for Yeah, because he traded him right, he wanted out. But also the Garoppolo situation. They act like Pete Carol loves Jimmy Garoppolo. Garoppolo won. Let's not forget Garoppolo won. He got to the Super Bowl.

I feel like it was sour any indications that I had for Yeah, because he traded him right, he wanted out. But also the Garoppolo situation. They act like Pete Carol loves Jimmy Garoppolo. Garoppolo won. Let's not forget Garoppolo won. He got to the Super Bowl.

Yeah, when did Garoppolo play for Carol?

Yeah, when did Garoppolo play for Carol?

No, I didn't say that. I'm saying he acts like that. They're saying Pete Carroll likes Garoppolo. I don't think they ever played. No, I don't together T Higgins man, he's good. I don't know where Cincinnati is getting money. I mean, if anything, they'll tag him a franchise, tag him. I don't think they can pay all. I don't think they paid Jamar Chase h Hendrickson, the Trey Hendrickson, Yeah, and T Higgins when they can tag T Higgins. Khalil Mack and he's getting older, huh, Yeah.

No, I didn't say that. I'm saying he acts like that. They're saying Pete Carroll likes Garoppolo. I don't think they ever played. No, I don't together T Higgins man, he's good.

He's up there now and he's like, yeah, he's been around the block.

He's up there now and he's like, yeah, he's been around the block.

The Eagles kind of the leader in the clubhouse there. Sense I would love to go to the Eagles far old Yah, I mean they're ready to go. They are I mean Miles Garrett's if he goes to the Eagles, Oh my god, like it's gonna it's.

The Eagles kind of the leader in the clubhouse there. Sense I would love to go to the Eagles far old Yah, I mean they're ready to go. They are I mean Miles Garrett's if he goes to the Eagles, Oh my god, like it's gonna it's.

And they'll trade the picks to the rounds or yeah those.

And they'll trade the picks to the rounds or yeah those.

Miles Garrett's not an old man, right, yeah, and he's awesome. It's like him with TJ. Watt, Like that's top tier. I think Henrison's right below them. Yeah yeah, just barely. Yeah, but holy crap. And then Sam Darnald so Donald very much could be a raider. He could could be back with the Vikings if they feel like JJ McCarthy is not progressing in a way. But I feel like from what I'm hearing, and I do have d I do have a couple of decent I do now have odd connections. I know it's weird. I do have odd connections. I feel like he is progressing at the rate they expect, which.

I feel like he is progressing at the rate they expect, which.

Is wild because I feel like when he came out of college, everyone was like, oh, he just hands the ball off that he doesn't do any you know, he can't make NFL throws, and it's just like, I feel like.

Is wild because I feel like when he came out of college, everyone was like, oh, he just hands the ball off that he doesn't do any you know, he can't make NFL throws, and it's just like, I feel like.

That was yes, and that was what was said, but I feel like a lot of that was just because the offense at Michigan ran because they never had to throw the ball. They got up and then just here you go, here you go read how you doing, buddy? Just starting? Man?

That was yes, and that was what was said, but I feel like a lot of that was just because the offense at Michigan ran because they never had to throw the ball. They got up and then just here you go, here you go read how you doing, buddy? Just starting? Man?

You know, I'm just I'm here listening. You know, I'm enjoying the show.

You know, I'm just I'm here listening. You know, I'm enjoying the show.

We appreciate that.

You know, he's like a listener, but in person, exactly school.

What do you think about free agency?

What do you think about free agency?

Man?

Man?

You know, I wish we could be free agents in life.

You know, I wish we could be free agents in life.

You are, you are literally a free agent, can do whatever you want. You're leaving this show. Oh my gosh, you walked right into that.

You are, you are literally a free agent, can do whatever you want. You're leaving this show. Oh my gosh, you walked right into that.

Man, I am a free agent.

Man, I am a free agent.

I never made you sign a contract.

I never made you sign a contract.

I need an agent.

I need an agent.

An agent would only take you if he felt like he could make money off of you.

An agent would only take you if he felt like he could make money off of you.

Oh that's fair, that wouldn't happen.

Oh that's fair, that wouldn't happen.

You'd keep all the money.

You'd keep all the money.

What do you mean, Yeah, yeah, I'll keep all the money.

What do you mean, Yeah, yeah, I'll keep all the money.

An agent would take ten percent, ten unless it's a massive contract, and then they would take less. Like there are certain in certain sports they can't take more than like two point five or three percent, because you're talking about millions of dollars. Where it's weird with these college athletes is the agents can go twenty percent, fifteen percent because there are no regulations, and so you have college athletes going, I'm in and they're having to give twenty percent of their money away.

I mean, could you even say fifty percent?

I mean, could you even say fifty percent?

You can say whatever you want in certain situations, like if an agent. I have an agent, and I have an agency, and so I have different agents inside that agency, but my main agent it's ten percent of anything, except for like my big radio deal, which is two percent. But if I'm like touring, it's ten percent. Crazy, yeah, it's ten.

You can say whatever you want in certain situations, like if an agent. I have an agent, and I have an agency, and so I have different agents inside that agency, but my main agent it's ten percent of anything, except for like my big radio deal, which is two percent. But if I'm like touring, it's ten percent. Crazy, yeah, it's ten.

Percent, But it also gets you a lot of that unities.

Percent, But it also gets you a lot of that unities.

So that's the way, right, Is it worth giving up ten percent? Am I getting seventeen percent? Fourteen percent from the agent? To give up ten percent?

So that's the way, right, Is it worth giving up ten percent? Am I getting seventeen percent? Fourteen percent from the agent? To give up ten percent?

That makes sense?

That makes sense?

Now I give my management fifteen percent?

Now I give my management fifteen percent?

Oh who, so you're spreading it across So that's.

Oh who, so you're spreading it across So that's.

Already twenty five already percent immediately, and my business manager gets five percent. That's thirty percent any money I make thirty percent.

Already twenty five already percent immediately, and my business manager gets five percent. That's thirty percent any money I make thirty percent.

So you're just hoping you get more more opportunities then that everybody is just helping you.

So you're just hoping you get more more opportunities then that everybody is just helping you.

That that is the plan. Now for my radio contract, it is not at thirty percent. For my radio contract is much lower. Like I mentioned, with baseball players, football players. There's only a certain level they can take. But for if I'm touring, if I'm doing television, all that, it's thirty percent. That's crazy.

That that is the plan. Now for my radio contract, it is not at thirty percent. For my radio contract is much lower. Like I mentioned, with baseball players, football players.

Wow, I'm learning stuff. Man.

Wow, I'm learning stuff. Man.

It sucks, yeah, because I have to pay it out every two months, so I'm writing checks that just.

It sucks, yeah, because I have to pay it out every two months, so I'm writing checks that just.

Seems like a lot of like organization you gotta have.

Seems like a lot of like organization you gotta have.

That's why your business manager is worth five percent because bills don't come to my house or I have to pay percentages everywhere, and so she does that, and she also all call her and be like, hey, can I buy this? Oh yeah, just make sure because you're like, yeah, like what do we do? I I grew up with no under standing on money. Now I have an understanding of money six out of ten because I've had to learn. But for a long time, I didn't have a business maasuer, and I was just writing percentage checks, not knowing exactly what you're doing.

So you don't even look at that stuff. You literally are just like tell me if there's a problem, and I will. I will ask you if most of the.

Sometimes that stress me out, man.

Sometimes that stress me out, man.

I look, I am really insecure and neurotic about not having any money again because I've been there, and so I watch it all the time. I watch it if I've been getting scammed, see, I watch like what I'm spending, See who'sh all of it. Sometimes I will tell my wife spend more money because she'll be like, I know, weird you are about stuff. I don't know. We're not gonna spend any money.

That's good man, because you read those stories of like artists getting like their money, people like skimming them out of like millions of dollars and they never knew because they don't check balances, They didn't look at their bank account.

That's good man, because you read those stories of like artists getting like their money, people like skimming them out of like millions of dollars and they never knew because they don't check balances, They didn't look at their bank account.

And mostly even more than that, it's because they didn't know money to begin with, and then they didn't check. So most people that grow up understanding money, which I did not, at least know how much is coming in and what it kind of should be. Where if you're like from a small town or you grow up poor and all of a sudden you get your ball player, you got money, what do they really get in trouble is they don't take taxes out if you are what do they call it, if you're just working for yourself proprietor whatever close indepredated contract thank you might get a pedit contractor because I have jobs where I do that, like my television work, all independent contract jobs. So if they say we're going to pay you fifty thousand dollars, it comes as fifty thousand dollars. It's up to me take the taxes out. That's my business manager. So a lot of times these people to get in trouble for taxes. They're getting in trouble because not because they were like, oh screw the government. It's because they don't know that what they got is money. They then have to go figure out what to pay in and then like a Dane Cook, which was his brother, was his money guy, you just trust them wholeheartedly. One you don't know money and toil. You trust what they're doing the right thing. And then it gets so lost that even when you do find it, millions are gone, there's nothing you can do about it.

Yeah, if they're in thirty percent of the content, they have to set aside sixty five percent of the earnings for the kids. Ohang, So with Ryan though, he's the main person, he's the dude. So I'm assuming that's different than a mom blogger who uses their kid and a bunch that's not paying their kid. Like Ryan's the main dude.

IBAN just does that crap to me. It's the bit that doesn't die. It's almost like, and I don't mind talking about it openly here on this show. It's almost like the Otown bit where ten years ago I made the joke that I was one of the original members of Otown, but then I told our listeners I'm making this joke, but you're now in on the inside joke. I was never a part of Otown, and Otown was formed on a television show. There were no early days of Otown. So for ten years I've just said I've been a member of Otown, especially way early in the band before they ever had a hit, and I left. Couldn't really cut it once they got famous. I couldn't really sing good enough to be in a vocal group. And I'm super happy for their success. But I've just kept the bit going. I got committed to the bit ten years later. And tomorrow night at the Million Dollars Show, We're going to reform.

Hey, I was watching some Donovan as a Rocker stuff this weekend. How important is it to you for the future with future recruits that your guys go real high in this draft.

Hey, I was watching some Donovan as a Rocker stuff this weekend. How important is it to you for the future with future recruits that your guys go real high in this draft.

Yeah, look, I think that that definitely helps. I think it helps that we have four guys at the Combine, you know, watching you know, these guys over the weekend, you know, Donovan, Cam Horsley and then yesterday Ozzy Trapillo and Drew Kendall. You know, those guys performed really well at the Combine, So you know, for those guys to be drafted you know, high, first, second, third, fourth round, I think is uh it's a really good sign for this program that we can get those type of guys to come play here. So I think it would be great to see those guys drafted high.

Whenever you took the job at BC, what did you think the ceiling was on year one?

Whenever you took the job at BC, what did you think the ceiling was on year one?

I don't think.

I don't think.

I don't I don't know if I looked at it that way, I really wanted we got hired. I would say a little bit late relative to most hirings. We got hired about a year ago. It was around the second week of February. So what I wanted to do is try to establish the foundation of hard work and toughness and being a good teammate and you know, going to class and all the things that are giving back to the community, all the things that are important at Boston College. And then along the way, obviously want to win some games. We lost games where we committed a lot of mistakes. We got to learn how not to lose before we can learn how to win. But we won some games where we played sixty minutes and we competed well, and so I think we got off to a good start.

I love I love the old uniforms the best. Probably still trying to We're going with New Balance here pretty soon in the summertime. So New Balance has done a great job of helping us designed to go back to those older you know, the Fluti uniforms, you know, the ones that they wore back in the day, which I think we're pretty cool. Those are the ones we're trying to get back to.

I just think of the Hail Mary. That's the uniform I think of when I think of BC is Fluty and the hill Mary. Like, those uniforms are so legit that I would be wanting to dress them like that all the time.

Yeah, no doubt, I agree. I love, you know, the maroon and gold. I kind of like the gold pants with the maroon top every once in a while, which you know, we're going to try to do a little bit more of that moving forward.

I'm curious about language and installing playbooks with new players. I do a show with Matt Castle, who played with the Patriots for a while, was like one of my dear friends. We worked together every week and he was kind of walking through quarterback language with us last week. He year one like, how much do you actually of the playbook you actually install?

Yeah, that's a great question. I would say we definitely did not install the whole thing. We try to in spring practice. You know, look at our team. Really it starts in winter conditioning. Look at our team. What type of team are we going to have? You know, where are the straints right the on offense, the straints.
