Rich reacts to Aaron Donald agreeing to a non-QB record extension with the Rams and explains how that puts added pressure on NFC West rivals like the 49ers who also have big name players looking to get paid. 

Rich breaks down the Lakers’ muddled mess and says why Anthony Davis is the key to them turning things around under new head coach Darvin Ham. 

The Athletic’s Lakers beat writer Bill Oram tells Rich if the Lakers truly committed to keeping Russell Westbrook or if they’ll try to move the fading former MVP, why L.A. stil thinks they can win another title with LeBron James, and how much autonomy Ham will have amid an organization known for having too many cooks in the kitchen.

The field sold off you get your hackles up just to schedule post as a way to share and iron are our we start this show in the tale of two AEDs here in Los Angeles so the tale of a D don't mean the assistant director here in LA now roaming the assistant director of athletic director to 80s. Let's start with the one who just made a ton of money yesterday and that's when Don said he would have been at peace with his career. Had he no longer played another down. He told that to our friend Brandon Marshall on his IM athlete podcast is the Arun Donald who was front and center on super Sunday and I'm not just talking about his walkoff sac essentially Joe Barro. I'm talking about the pregame I'm talking about the conversation that the what what before kickoff in the what what was and I was thinking of her time really value at the walkoff hurry of Jimmy grappling with the NFC champs again.

The guy about the walkoff sac of Kyler Marion, a crucial regular-season game. It put the rams up in the NFC West for good background that God the perennial first team all Pro player. The guy was pretty much got a bust in Canton Ohio already that is done, each 31 really well.

He said he was it at PB at peace if we didn't plan another down even though we kind of went to the parade said he wanted to run it back but you know what will make you at peace. I can think of the few things will make your thesis a $40 million race at a $40 million raise over his final three years of his remaining contract. The Los Angeles Rams essentially ripped up his three year deal that he had and replaced it with a three-year deal that will give him 40 more million dollars over its lifespan and he bases got a no trade costs so the rams can't send them anywhere. He now gets 65. Guaranteed million dollars over the next two seasons, and in 2024 can either tap out and go would be at peace. Or you can come back and play for another 30 million bucks.

That's an incentive to say stick around for 2024.

When you're 34, 35 years old. The average of his contract over the next three years is north of $31 million. It is easily the most lucrative contract on an annual basis of any player in the NFL does not play the quarterback position and Arun Donald is worth every single clunky scent of that contract is exactly why when I heard him say he was at peace and there was a business aspect of this whole thing exactly why I knew that our third hour guest in the general manager of the Los Angeles land rams less need would figure it out in the same way that were constantly asking about less need. Does he not care about the traffic. How does he keep doing building a winning team without a first-round selection or top first two day of the NFL draft selection now or sit here wondering, did the rams not have a salary-cap, how can they redo Stafford's contract.

How can they redo Donald's contract. How can they have a $100 million quarterback under the same And Jaelyn Ramsey. How can they go and sign Alan Robertson how can they just fill in the blank. That's the rams. How can and I'll tell you what. When Leslie is on in our three and I asked Cooper cups next year's anti-canopy. What will figure that out. We got it done. It's not there yet. We we we have no there is less pie. There's no pilot got I got I got nothing left in the store for the MVP of the Super Bowl. The guy who just had the Triple Crown of the wide receiving position in 2021.

A guy who was I heard on the coming to work the other day as I listened to the show the proceeds, this one on on NBC Sports on Peacock every Dan Patrick show one of his listeners nickname Cooper cups white rice and I heard that one before that what you pay, white rice, that's a good name for Cooper, that's the guy nickname.

You deserve better now that Sunday he is going to get his take and that's why the rams are not only on next level franchise where they are a team that can go back to back this season 1000% that can happen. They have the roster to do it. They got the coaching staff to do it all they gotta do is stay healthy and they're going to be winning more games than not they have the best player all-around player in football, which is a way to say is not a quarterback best all-around player in football and Arun Donald may be the best player at that position ever there is an argument that is the best defensive player ever, and a lot of people are older horses. There is Lawrence Taylor.

There is Reggie White.

There's a lot of hold your horses. Guess what can be held in the next 2 to 3 years more parades here in Los Angeles and those horses no longer need to be held Arun Donald over the next three years can indeed make the case that he's the best defensive player in the history of the National Football League and part of the reason why he could pull that off is because the rams are smart enough to say where you pay this guy and that resonates in the locker room as well. And if you want to go next level and we always do. Here less need is clearly doing this for many reasons and there are selfish reasons. He's the best player in football he deserves to be paid this money.

If he can if he can spend it different to Cronk.

He is smart enough to say.

Last year there general manager you do it, go for team president Kevin demo off go forward take that money, he it is leverages all just retire on a piece different to giving it to him and who that places pressure, how about the team that you played for the NFC championship game happens to be in your division that has Nick post both so ready to be paid and what you think Nick second hello Nick, you haven't done what Arun Donald Stone object you haven't done around Donald's done payday. You're not yours also.

24. Mix also ready to be paid in the market says a player who was stellar on the defensive line can make this amount of money you have reset the market. The rams you can afford it you can give it to them and you do it how you think that contract got lobbed into Santa Clara at the front offices of San Francisco, who has apparently depot Samuel showing up for mandatory minicamp this week and he's gotta be paid and maybe you pay comp before Devos gotta do that deal in your throat that into San Francisco's front office and you kinda blow things up for your opponent to check status giving our Donald this morning. As for another 80 and we just talked about our Donald here in this program. Another 80 or Los Angeles California names Anthony Davis, he's already been paid. Paid a lot of money but unlike the other Arun Donald A. D. Here over the last couple years. He's not been able to dress very much.

Charles Barclays nicknamed him street clothes. There would've been a parade here. Had there been no pandemic and no bubble in which the Lakers won the championship. Unfortunately for them, no parade member Lebron kinda said maybe we we have the two parades when the rams wanted memory suggested that the Lakers can have their belated parade that never happened and is kinda like okay all good in the general sense is you know what just waiting here because you've got Anthony Davis and you got Lebron and Russell Westbrook showed up and you put them altogether to an outstanding fantasy team for the 2015 16 season right. But what about 2122 Plano again because A.D. part of the equation for LA L the Lakers 76 games played over the last two seasons. The last two seasons together.

He has never played a single full season, but as Lebron pointed out at the end of the season. He's healthy Brontës healthy and Russ stays healthy. Just run it back. Run it back. Unfortunately, in the 22 games they played with each other.

Last year there were 1111 that's a 500 team that will get you in the playoffs as a playing tournament team.

But that's not the Lakers are about their bow championships about hanging banners are about hashtag winning time so enter Darvin him the new head coach. This is what's placed in front of him and incredibly talented player can't stay healthy and all-time great goats, who is playing well beyond the expectation level of anybody at age 37. Last year, but then you think is Lebron James and you expected and can you expect to do it. He does it again is age 38, which is what will turn in December. I think you can expect Lebron's greatness to show up L what about Russ is eager to be on the team will Darvin Hamm was introduced yesterday as Los Angeles Lakers head coach and interestingly enough, Hamm was asked about Westbrook and Westbrook was standing right there. Did you see this did not cross okay so Pam and Polanco are sitting at the front of this press conference and to the left is Russell Westbrook just standing off to the left, kinda standing there watching the press conference serving watching and observing and Bill Oram. Our guest is gonna be joining us in five minutes time from the athletic asked him the question about what about Ross and will play that for you in a second before Bill joins us in essentially the answer was. Russ is going to be and he kept on saying over and over and over again that it's about defense and that Ross will be asked to sacrifice the bronze to be asked to sacrifice Anthony Davis is can be asked to sacrifice and my question is what Santa gave us can sacrifice what he needs to sacrifice whatever needs to be sacrificed to keep them healthy.

What is that mean like a chicken or something like what you do like to get to sacrifice something on the altar of the basketball health gods because Joe Buscemi, Risa Ron Hunter what's in front of a sacrifice. I don't know what that meant and certainly in terms of defense. You reset about the defenses that Russ may have to do things without the ball and that's me look it up if not his forte, playing defense, not his forte and he hasn't made a shot like two years. It feels like, so the Lakers like the rams wanted back.

I like the rams running back a hell of a lot better and there A.D. and the chances of them running it back with their ADN Arun Donald hell of a lot better than this one out all the Lakers fans market meat you can get excited about Darvin Hamm is a 6 foot seven former players bring in Rasheed Wallace with him to have some toughness and again that's what public to Talk about as a Frank Vogel was just not the toughest guy around that have toughness maybes watching the all the Celtics games NECN toughness ECM guys being put on their ass. ECM offenses like the warriors getting disrupted. He's seeing teams like the heat getting out muscled and beaten ECM the defending champs in the box get bounced but the star players of the Celtics are young the team and its entirety with the exception of our for his young the Lakers are old. The Lakers are old and they got their young stud in street clothes, running it back fascinating concept here in Los Angeles, and maybe they have no other true they have no other choice. If they're not going to attach a first round selection to the trade of Russell Westbrook to get him out clear his salary bring in players right now that can play well and do complement what Anthony Davis and Lebron James can do but you are asking the team to start sacrificing and playing tough defense when one guy is 38 another guy who can block his shots isn't playing because he's hurt and Westbrook is CEC something in return. Marcus Mann at the advanced age of of his career.

I don't know man I mean it sounds Grenz likely it sounds great. From their new head coach, but the roster doesn't match Bill Oram who was at the press conference is our first guest will talk about this with diehard Laker fan O'Shea Jackson Junior, our number three Michael Chick was who plays red are back on winning time diehard Celtics fan New England sports fan. Can't wait to have him here and him here in studio and then the man who just paid his it made made Arun Donnelly pins a player less need will join us.

Top of our number three, number 084-4204 Rich number to dial the San Francisco 49ers organized team activity and mandatory minicamp start today was where his depot all googly IMO geez are on their 844204 Rich number dollar offer running here, Bill Oram, who covers the Lakers for the athletic when we return back here in the rich as enjoyed for 4204 Rich number. Dr. Oram covers a Los Angeles Lakers for the athletic and he asked the US that the number one question in fascinating enough.

Russell Westbrook was standing right there watching this entire exchange that started by the bill or masking the new head coach Darvin Hamm about Westbrook specifically on Russ and a lot has been made about his fit with Lebron and and we can see the time last year with injuries, but how do you see those three working together. How do you see Russ fitting and I guess more you do see him here, I guess, based on the way you're talking absolutely me just are running habits and Russell don't don't don't get it.

Most of Russ is one of the best players are leaders ever seen and is still time left in that tank.

I don't know why people to become a writing, malls, pros him like I do every player I've ever encountered. Chris will talk about our running habits with the ball without the ball and again the tote that the team standard where the right day and try and establish a rhythm with Lebron Ross the and and again share the load defensively and offensively, defensively is where you go to see us make our biggest leaps and bounds. We have to commit to the defensive side of the ball or we don't have a chance to do anything office on the mat it will get stops so Tanya John Hammes talked about defense nonstop face of the bat on on Monday and Russ Tanner right there.

Bill Oram here in the Mercedes-Benz rents phone line in the Rich Eisen show did you see Russ there when you start to pose the question, Bill.

Oh yeah, I am over there and then I immediately delete.

My eyes unruffled Darvin with answering the period of you on you. Hearing hearing and a direct feedback and perspective from the guy you can be answering to get out.

Next, even assuming the Lakers keep them around and you know it was interesting that you set me the message is not that different from what I think other coaches about the Russell Westbrook you know, play defense, willing to yell really commit authentically when you don't have the ball on which likely can be key with with Lebron James McGonagle, Lebron, but you know I can be a matter whether or not Russ yields a different connection with Darvin and that he felt with Frank Vogel and if Darvin can get you even 50% more buy-in from Russ Benton Frank Debbie about a huge problem for the Lakers last year was Russ was tooting Frank Vogel out almost from the beginning and he sort of revealed after the season. We need that was kinda griping that you know Frank didn't had had something against them. So if you feel a little more engaged with Darvin and you think I Darvin is asking Russ do things that Russ is shown the writer doesn't want to or can't do, though I'm really happy to see how that goes up Lakers depressed around. Well, I mean Hamm's been around this league a long time. He's a smart cookie as well. Is it possible he's just thrown these rose petals of the feet of a guy was in the room and the idea is he's not to be there anyway. We think that currently with them and it certainly you know I wrote something your mother to ago saying that the Lakers needed to reverse the narrative on Russell Westbrook because everyone was so cocksure that the Lakers were hell-bent on creating Russ at any cost. This summer completely driving value down and they have certainly gone the other way and made everyone think they're going to keep and so on. A posturing are they listening and filter leverage or are the kind of bracing for the realities of a no and uninterested marketplace where there isn't going to be a trait that makes them throughout the Westbrook were the Lakers can recoup some value without completely hamstringing cells of the future, so are they sort of preparing the fan base, preparing himself for the idea of doing this for one more year and hoping that new leadership in a new voice might yield a different result. And that's kind of what we don't know at this point, but no, everything I've got people to Lakers yesterday like how sincere it is the heating Russ chatter and the response was, you know hey if we if we can't get we can't get a fair deal, then we may have no choice so I think the Lakers are our mentally preparing themselves for the possibility of bringing Russ electric back.

I don't think anybody is saying that it the ideal scenario, I think, is that a marriage of necessity and not a marriage choice at this point you have a backbone to do a quarterly and have to live with their decision. So I think that your garden and you that you smartly certainly understand the situation and by the way, like Darvin blew a lot of smoke up you know that is the direction you a lot of praise a lot of high but you said you know you want them to be the same high intensity and energy clarity been in his career, but a lot of that going to need to be defensively and off the ball and so I think that that is sort of preparing Russ for a lot of the same demands that Frank Vogel try to make a year ago, which is where you're going after just a game. In order for it to work here but we've never seen Russ yield is not a player yields or just an act means we could be in for another awkward based your your your answer just gave their bill on the athletic. You're the Rich Eisen show when you said you asked Lakers folks yesterday about Westbrook's future. There, the answer wasn't absolutely like what Hamm said it sounds like their plan is to absolutely see what they can get for him first and then resignedly hold onto him and make it you don't make chicken salad if that's necessary is that the plan basically for him right now that my reading a situation where they still mean we are the draft yet we are created feet know the Lakers obviously hold off the deal for Russell Westbrook on draft day last year that when a lot of the stuff comes together. I think there is a real curiosity on the part of the Lakers at the how the marketplace were to shake out what what could be available, but I do think also that there has been sort of a grudging acceptance of of of maybe needing to hold off on a deal that is not coming together in a way that they would hope you know where a clear ideal opportunity to unload rest and recoup some value was going present itself so you need to make that for Darvin that they absolutely do it.

Russ is still here. You know it's going to be your garden and big hat getting electrical buy-in and adjust his game and so it Russ is standing right over there in the corner, listening, no, you can appeal the Russ by saying I believe in you.

You are one of the greatest players of all time.

That is going to resonate and when I wrote my story today at the other was your brother what Ricardo loved what he heard Darvin hamper the working capital Lakers of the start to believe it and they need to kind of bread this needle of massaging his ego, but also you'll find a way to hold them accountable without losing which is definitely rich with a player with a player like Russ like Russ the athletic you're on the rich. I wasn't sure about Lebron future does not have to be handled in a way similar to maybe what happened with Erin Donald Wright were you Pam more obviously Donald and get more years on his contract, but there's a contract has to be addressed right for Lebron. It does obviously created in 2023. If they don't, an extension done this summer. You think the Lakers assorted yellow back channeled in their very counsel with the Lebron situation. They feel that they have Lebron on on board the believe that you committed idiotically loves being in LA if he is shown a commitment in the private in a private conversation, the Lakers, assorted indicated in my holy family make is reported that they would be comfortable with him going year to year. That was what he wanted to do yoga sort of maintaining flexibility at this stage in a career it in his career so I don't think they are necessarily panicking if he doesn't find extension that summer, but I think that would obviously be their preference to ensure that they are the ones to benefit from his talents, but the same time. I'm a player who's going to be yelled 38 years old. By the end of the year and who knows what you Lebron look like at the end of the two-year extension if it in the finding that so the delicate situation that auditing the Lakers no that they don't have Lebron James. They don't have much going for him with the way the rest of the roster to build and affect the been expended so you know that that extension can't be dealt with until August. A lot of people that are not all in the place first and I guarantee you I mean Lebron James is going to be basing his decision in some part on what the Lakers do and what the Lakers put together and how he views the next three years of Lakers him and I do think I do think Ira Garvin ambled a good first step yellow bronze tweaked in support of Lebron I thought was very encouraging note showed obviously a real level buy-in from Lebron of excitement from Lebron with with the coaching decision at that, the first piece of the puzzle where they do your around the draft and then in free agency and the Lebron then she think that that's something worth signing up for three more years over to the want to maintain flexibility in that decision. I get the Lakers are comfortable leading up to Lakers one of Menelik uniformly breaks Koreans record that's for sure. And God there's more than just a ceremony here that the ceremony they want is a parade. That's the what they want to get and I'm wondering if you if you got the Laker front office if not Jeannie bus in a room and asked them it is this what they envision when they first sign Lebron towards the end of his contract to have a roster that does have a young stud star on it, but he not only can't stay healthy. You did have to trade away the town of young talent to go get him in your watching them blossom elsewhere, especially England in New Orleans. You know, do you think that this is what they were hoping for. Are they are they pleased with the result in the future of it, bill or do you think is a good question which I think I think the Lakers were prepared to trade.

Although young guys when they got Lebron a degree understood that the rule of the game to change when they got Lebron James in the summer of 20 2018. But any listen they've made the playoffs only made the playoffs bronze for years. They lost in the first round.

One of those two years, really. Three of the warrior they got Lebron absolute.and and then in the championship so the really hard situation to evaluate what I think you know me in the Lakers truth serum.

They believe that they can be contenders next year with the state of the roster as it is and you know that you require luck, it can require certain things breaking their way in and roster construction. It can require some players continue to grow and evolve to meet maybe you need often reads to be, even higher level impact player, you know, but the Lakers believe that they still have more championships in this Lebron James construction and and so in that sense I think that you made you feel like that, but I also think they understand they could be made along the way and they've made the floor hard on themselves than Bennett. Bennett, and they certainly would hope the Lord couple more minutes left with the athletics bill or cover the Lakers here in the rich doesn't show colleague Mark Stein reported on his sub stack. Last week the Darvin Hamm extracted some concessions about his staff make up as well as keeping one of the ram by out of his coaches meetings in a way that Frank Vogel was not afforded. Is that true bill sold out for the day. The government agreed to the contract that he would have the latitude to hire his own staff which you know is it something that you, Frank Vogel was very open about Heath that you acknowledge that the Lakers brought Jason Kidd to him and he interviewed him and he made the decision, but it was obviously with the organization wish to have Jason get on his staff and Corky was on his staff and I think there were elements of that elsewhere because then you know what it was like Frank Vogel had a history of David Dale so I think that the question really for the Lakers it how much they learned from their past mistakes of their coaches. They they've been so heavy-handed with Luke Walton with Magic Johnson basically threatening Luke's job week of the season in 2018, setting the course toward his eventual firing same with Frank Vogel last year. The one year extension micromanaging his staff. Being in the coaches meeting program is blowing up on the coaching staff really early in the season for integrating their job in the Lakers get out of their own way, and more importantly to get out Darvin Hamm's way and let him do the job required him to do. If they can they realize that they are that they are that the way they handled coaches reflect poorly on the organization causes bad blood between the coaching staff and the front office if they learn that then there's a chance that the work you know I just don't know you haven't seen that from from this Lakers front office really an ability to sort of learn from their mistakes, but the good coaching higher at the link on the right thing so far. Good Darvin that looks like because you got a lot of cooks in the kitchen with the Lakers right and Frank Vogel staff had no bill handy got a history Lebron Mike Penn Berkey who is the preferred yellow coach of Anthony Davis and Glenn with him in New Orleans so you know are those figures who ironically are very important to the stars and the stakeholders with the Lakers are they going to they can remain with the organization anyhow about some of the other the other pieces that way you would like okay Darvin has the economy to hire his own staff, but also if you look around, probably often knows we need to keep happy. So many really. The what the staff yet to get the temple and fell in a what what the going to look like it's going be. Just take a look at the two teams that are in the finals right now.

The ones that were in the finals last year just doesn't it doesn't compute.

I mean I guess Chris Paul being the finals last year could be for the lack of a better analogy or bill. I understand like a Lebron type figure where the guy is towards the much close to the end of his career or his basketball mortality than everyone else, but surrounded by winners and a coach of the year right or you take a look at the Celtics in jail in Brown and and and Tatum of the young kids with just our Orford in a in a certain role. You got the warriors with Kurt Amin who who has assistance on the staff there are handpicked by the stars right that are put together is just it just seems to me like a threading of the needle to just run it back right now without with a window to close on not saying it's never gonna happen, but odds are, which is a phrase that I have been using a lot around here lately it just it just seems bleak. Bill micro line Michael, I agree with you, and I think you have a Lakers or income to compensate an evaluation of what the best path forward and you know I think for now that Hope you like it you running it back feels a little defeatist, but it it does it that or or what your trading Anthony Davis trading Lebron James completely tearing it down, trying to recoup, affect, and then give yourself a five year timeline. I like the Lakers feel like it's too soon for that and that sort of doesn't follow through on sort of the pack they made Lebron when they find him in 2018. So even though that there is a very logical argument to be made for that right time to time to find a new path, but I don't think they're there yet but it but you're right.

As you look at the rest of the league and it's hard to see how the Lakers get back to the top with the current assemblage bill appreciate the time greatly appreciated. Thanks thanks the time the day after that that the press conference always H thank you… You and Bill were among twitter and Solomon should as well.

The athletic you know me and I don't know if it's fair or not.

You just take a look at where the Celtics are and how they're made up there.

The ones are in the finals right now. It's a far cry that said Celtics look dead in the water. In January and if you can't trade away Ross and you have to run it back. There are worse running it back options. True when Lebron is one thing to assist with me once I get like this at sacrificing if the sacrifice whatever ritual sacrifice needs to happen to keep them healthy. If he stays healthy. What a totally different ball of wax and an animal can Ross be a role is over asking like he's gotta play a role in a richness which is what would that rule be like right I got a flag on it just because I'm not a fan of their team, but what Miami is done in terms of heat culture I think is a real thing and you kind of saw that with Boston.

They finally bought into email joke is culture.

The second half of the year and when I think about the Lakers I don't think that's a team with a culture and I think that's why you kind of seen it all up.

The last two years all know there's a culture and it looks like it's a clutch sports culture what that looks like one obviously doesn't work on what I mean your hearing Lebron loves that assistant Anthony Davis loves that assistant. The Rambus is love that assistant the Lakers like that guy and they put it all together and then all of a sudden it doesn't work. That's what it's looks like it's the culture is just a memo let's get one guy was the one of the best players from clutch sports as an ingredient that don't go together well or they can and Darvin Hamm's the right chef and that maybe what the planets are better hope so. In the same way again I get to just go back to and any it just it looks bleak. There's just no question about it, but your Celtics looks at what they like. They were made the wrong move with the front office. Then the coach and the roster looked unworkable, with such young players maybe have to break up one of these young players send in jail in Brown packet also acquire a couple of players and then immediately cut bait on them. They were able to admit hey this is working even though we just brought you when finish fruit or just Richard Cynthia Thea out and it looked bleak overpay for Derek white everyone up there as being what is this move right and tomorrow night there hosting an MBA from 11 with three home games left. They win every home game there's a duck boat parade again in Boston and that certainly didn't look that way. And so if you're like a friend like well the entire equation of what we just saw in Boston. Maybe Darvin Hamm is our immediate Delco right and Tatum and Brown are terrific, whatever, but we have Lebron NAD and if Russ can just fill in the black. That seems to be the plan right now, but I found it interesting that Bill Orme said that the money has to Lakers front office people or whomever you know about Rosner like if we don't get anything for him. That's appropriate, then we'll just hold on and then run it back but Darvin Hamm was asked by Laura Mike. Sounds like is going to be years like absolutely which is what he's got. Question is, will that be the case take a break. April 4 20 4-H number doll tons of in studio guests coming up here on the recharge, and shall O'Shea Jackson Junior, Michael checkless and you 844204 Rich back here on the rich doesn't show 844204 Rich is the number to dial will take some phone calls. In a matter of moments here on the program so if you're on hold.

Stay on hold, look, I'm I'm sometimes I like to say I'm a senior I see things and that's on borrowing a phrase from Michael Irvin. I feel things in my gut. I've been around the NFL block.

Every now and then told you that Leslie Gless neighbors can handle the Donald situation, but I guess they take over rock and they find 40 million extra dollars in the salary cap first for him over a three-year span. I have no idea what smoke and mirrors her tricks are used to to do for this sort of thing. I don't know really that deal freed up 2 million now it's entirely possible I don't I don't know and and again would have less need on our three and like a beautiful mind.

I don't know. I know I will ask the best he can tell and you know that you don't get me in the weeds are talking about. You can you know convert this and do that and it's after June, one year, and I mean honestly not my might more verbal and math never did very well with the science piece the wedge for for Trivial Pursuit.

I I'd I don't get those things but I knew who lets need was going to handle. I just felt that my bones and know no personal insight on anything. I just felt it. I'm telling all you 49er fans, no matter how it works this week.

If depot sitting on the side or anything. It's the mandatory minicamp they moved it up which is God. I mean I guess you have reviewed your plane tickets. If you're not if you're not a towering like working on telling everybody week one of the week. One of the NFL season was my weekly NFL season. San Francisco 49ers Ararat, Chicago, I meant to say this, I see I see a beautiful September afternoon day in Chicago, Illinois. Big it's it's it's the it's a big day will be unveiling of the Evenflo's release lever first okay in Chicago, there's gonna be Justin Fields and it's just a fascinating day in San Francisco and Chicago. I mean holy Mike Singletary. I mean there's some great games right from back in the day they ran it nine or 6 1/2 point favorite morning that there is even lying on that sort of thing. I didn't see that coming.

Guess I should think the Bears in the point.

San Francisco gets the blood just say the bears were put their defense out there first and when the toss bears were put their defense out there first.

They differ get all of the first Shanahan you get the ball first Niners start the game on offense. Trey Lantz will trot out on the field and he will look either behind him, or most likely outlawed because I guess this would be happy provocative that they handed to depot to start the name probably not as opaque him, he will have been paid. That's the way I'm feeling snapped one for the 49ers. It's Trey Lantz because it's his job.

Jimmy grappling will be elsewhere.

You will be on a team take the indication that they told him he's excused from a mandatory minicamp that he couldn't even participate in and throw an depot will be there and he will be paid. He will be paid, not Jimmy G. Handing off the tray sermon that is not happening.

No sir no sir. That is not happening could be John Peterson's favorite running back Jeff Wilson gets the ball from tray lines could be possible. Tommy Pham's favorite. I just feel it. I got the magic eight ball of magic eight ball, I write about this great signs point to yes I want to just signs point to yes check back later. Take my word for and the magic eight ball has backed my play goodness I have this year off to the side. I feel it I feel it my bones same way that I knew that this document for, Murray would be worthy of still having to hold onto plate so he can play to just I just that I need to hold onto this but it is held up remarkably well for something that I keep grabbing on the desk near the way that I handle my mom I paid you a lot of stuff.

I got a lot of stuff you my schedule is already frayed at the edges.

I'm telling you depot will be there in Trey Lantz is starting and that's the way it's good to go.

In week one. After the first snap at you, you know, anything goes. I don't know, didn't help either. But it is 6 1/2 in your beeper flutes and all that business bears in the point.

I mean, that is something more to learn. You do not bet against the overflows do not batting. I would be a hell of a strategy. Our number to your phone calls.

844204 Rich and Tom Brady at an interesting quote that Leonard for not attribute it to him. When Leonard was on a free-agent tour. Don't miss that your phone calls and O'Shea Jackson Junior, not with somebody fully clothed when he gave the or did you see that video is trying ugly so and is under.

I understand and but I know much Brady we saw that the TV3 is a I could make a joke everywhere. A peacock right you chime in on this very late and 1/2 down, while come on but you still shocked by the estimate if you sell a fee selling underwear Giselle shooting a video of him in his bathroom in his underwear is landmark.

Play smart play were talking about an otherwise were not talking about his underwear trending all day right anything but brief you want to send us some underwear. I mean we can we can take a ride out the ticket, where much of music you take him back to tell my counselor later thanks reply Mac last year. Great job just for one year.

That's right yeah.Matt Jones you would start his growth. He would stop it, just to take about one more agile macros and get all the reps in practice this on Sunday. Brady stake in the six understood what did you say you don't wear much underwear what that's what you just pass by that stage and I can't let that we would set me you don't wear much of what you don't wear underwear and summertime.

Oh my God, this is information that is definitely on information I did not need to know what's that line from Seinfeld. There's nothing between the rather spectacular so the only thing between you and me is a thin layer of Denver Nuggets is shabbily about their dairy and look for the first time in a long time until adult info. Thank God you have open your mouth.

You know what to say paying attention as I get you came back from don't even want to sign a document going commando units in a moment what we do violate Henry Winkler's on Friday.

Sure enough, a little year all week. I am okay here all week is raspberry and you know that not as you know, that literally means an actual factor VIII so he wouldn't ask and I will be your new song was going on in my house Sunday night I watched Barry for the real story behind some of wrestling's biggest moments something to wrestle with Bruce Prichard and Conrad Thompson to all opponents. Much of Ms. Natalie in a conversation where is Andre free mouse and Andre was number one is not even going back before you know Holcombe was a baby face Holt and Andres were able to go in headline in New Orleans Superdome at Shea Stadium in Japan wherever they went.

That was an attraction something to wrestle with Bruce Prichard listen wherever you get your podcasts
