[Billy Gill]

God bless football. Billy Gill.

[Scots]

God bless football. Mikey.

[Stu Gatz]

Eh, God bless football. Fuentes.

[Danny B]

God bless football. Scots.

[Billy Gill]

God bless football is brought to you by DraftKings. DraftKings. The Crown is yours. I miss football. I miss football, Billy. I missed. Yeah, I don't know what to do. I don't know how to fill my weekends.

[Scots]

Here's the thing is, I thought like, as the season was coming to an end and as like the super bowl is wrapping up, like, you know, it's sad that this is all kind of coming to a close, but also it's been a long season. I'm kind of looking forward to a little bit of a slower time. And now we're here and it's the slower time in sports and I'm kind of like, can we get football back? Because I, I'm bored. Like, I, I am just. I'm bored without a lot of football going on at the same time. Like, NBA, fine, four nations, whatever. You know, nascar. I'm a big gearhead, so that is obviously keeping me locked in. But aside from that, you know, P's and C's, baseball is going to start a spring training soon, but like, let's, let's get to the combine. Like, let's, let's get to the. Let's get to the draft, right? You know what I mean?

[Billy Gill]

The combines next week, the draft is in. Is in Green Bay. We'll be in Tennessee. So maybe.

[Stu Gatz]

Possibly.

[Billy Gill]

Right.

[Scots]

Maybe big maybe on that one. Working on that situation, I sent some emails today to get some clarification on all of that. I'm saying I'm staying on top of this. Right.

[Billy Gill]

Don't worry because, you know I'm objecting to being in Tennessee. Right. I, I get the idea they have the number one overall pick, but they also might trade it, you know.

[Stu Gatz]

Well, but you would rather be in Green Bay.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah.

[Scots]

Where would you like to be is the question. Because I got another option. And then I was kind of like, but why would we be there? Is that one seems a little random. New York. And I was like, oh, why?

[Billy Gill]

Oh, yeah.

[Scots]

I, I don't, I don't, I don't know the connection. I'm trying to get 4 and 7 right. Honestly, this is an off air conversation, but I wouldn't, I, I wouldn't hate Green Bay. I know that, like, Nashville sounds fun, number one pick, but like, wouldn't hate Green Bay.

[Billy Gill]

Same.

[Scots]

Seems like if, if you're gonna go to Green Bay, seems like this is the time of the year to do it, right?

[Billy Gill]

Mikey, why are you objecting to Green Bay? It's the NFL Dr. Rambo Field. Like, how could it get better than that?

[Stu Gatz]

If we're gonna be in Green Bay, I'm all for it. If we're gonna be in Milwaukee an hour and a half down the road, just put me in Nashville.

[Billy Gill]

Green Bayish.

[Stu Gatz]

Exactly. Or are we just gonna go back to Troy, Michigan?

[Billy Gill]

You're still scarred from that.

[Scots]

Yeah. You went to, you went to the PNG house eventually after going to the Rock house.

[Stu Gatz]

That's a story. Danny B. Drive faster.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah. Is it a story that we've told on the show yet?

[Stu Gatz]

I don't remember. But real quick, we, we, we went to the wrong house looking for the PNG house to interview a bunch of people. And it, I, how do I, how do I. Okay, there, there were people living in it, but they did not pay for it. And there were boarded up windows and.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah, it was a, a house for the homeless.

[Stu Gatz]

It was a squatter's house.

[Billy Gill]

Right?

[Stu Gatz]

It was a squatter's house. All right. Danny B. Was parking in front of it going, I'm pretty sure this is the address. I go, I don't care if this is the address. This is not where we're going.

[Billy Gill]

Right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you think the guys, the people that were squatting were draft prospects?

[Scots]

No, they were not.

[Billy Gill]

All right.

[Stu Gatz]

One guy, one guy had hops.

[Scots]

Okay, Okay.

[Stu Gatz]

I saw him leap over the.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah.

[Scots]

Stugats. I've been thinking about something that I want to run past you, and I think that maybe you've already thought of this and maybe have already acted on this, but sure. Tony Bacelli you consider to be a friend, correct?

[Billy Gill]

He is a friend, yes.

[Scots]

All right. So Tony Bacelli now has a very powerful position with the Jacksonville Jaguars. So it would seem. And I'm not saying that, you know, all this time you've been friends with Tony Bacelli just for the perks. Right. But being friends with Tony Bacel. Come on twice a year to talk about the Jaguars, usually in a meaningless game. Talk about the Jaguars led to you going to Canton, being part of his entourage for the hall of Fame. And now it has put you in a prime position to have access to someone who's running an NFL team. And right now, we basically have you with direct access to Tony Bacelli. Joe. Shane Spags is a defensive coordinator that you're friends with, but, like, you're becoming quite friendly with a lot of powerful people in the NFL.

[Billy Gill]

Yes.

[Scots]

And as of right now, all you've really used it for is getting interviews on the show. Now, Jacksonville has a unique situation where they're also looking for a general manager.

[Billy Gill]

Yep.

[Scots]

So have we inquired about that? Because I know that, you know, you've done the media thing a long time. Maybe you, you know, you go the way of Lombardi and you say, you know what? The media thing was fun. It was great talking football. I wrote a book. He wrote a book. Now let me just oversee an entire organization like he's going to do in North Carolina with Belichick. Has that thought crossed your mind at all? Have you inquired? Because I feel like this might be a logical next step for you professionally. Right. And like, you know, you talked about this on air. Things may be lining up professionally, contract wise and stuff like that, where it could be a good time to step away and now just run the Jacksonville Jaguars.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah, I have thought about it. It has crossed my mind. Mike Lombardi actually had experience, though, running an NFL team before he got the job in North Carolina. Now I have GM experience. I do. I do.

[Scots]

There you go.

[Billy Gill]

I was a GM of a major market radio station. So you're asking me, should I apply? Have I inquired? Have I reached out to Tony Boseli to see if I could throw my name into the mix? Because the retirement plan for me before Boseli took this job was me and him do an afternoon drive in Jacksonville. But now he took this job. He's running the Jaguars. Perhaps I could be his gm. That's a good idea, Billy. I'm gonna reach out and ask him.

[Scots]

Because I'm just saying, like one also, and this may sound crazy, I'd be good at it. How hard is it to run the Jaguars? You know what I mean? Like, I feel like there's only one place to go and it's up.

[Billy Gill]

Oh, yeah. No, it would shorten my drive by at least two hours. Yes. Yeah.

[Scots]

There's only one way to go, but up with the Jaguars. You know what I mean?

[Billy Gill]

Like, yes, yes.

[Scots]

And you have Trevor locked in already, so for better or worse, that'll be your quarterback that you have to build around. But yeah, it seems like, you know, it's a new coach, even the coach goes in there, he messes up the Duvall. So, like, there's not my guy expectations there, like. Exactly. Right. Not your guy.

[Billy Gill]

Right.

[Scots]

So, like, if you come in as general manager, you're friendly with Tony, who's like the president of football operations or whatever. Right? So, like, you have an ally there, your friend Lee with Tony Khan, the owner's son. You've met Shad Khan. So, like you have a decent relationship there.

[Billy Gill]

Right.

[Scots]

You already have the built in excuse of, you know what? Not my head coach. Also not my quarterback.

[Billy Gill]

Right.

[Scots]

You have at least four years lead way here to kind of really mess things up badly, right?

[Billy Gill]

Yes, but not as badly as the rest of the GMs there. I like this, Billy, because the cons are my friends. I sat with them at Tony Bacelli's hall of Fame introduction at his enshriment. I sat with them, went to their house afterwards for an after party. They are wonderful people, Billy. Obviously serious. You've got me thinking here. This is.

[Stu Gatz]

Can I, can I step in real quick and marry these two worlds real quick?

[Scots]

Please do.

[Stu Gatz]

Can we get B to interview on the show?

[Billy Gill]

Wow.

[Stu Gatz]

Can we have B do the interview? I want to hear the questions he asks. I want to hear how you answer them.

[Billy Gill]

Yes, we could try to do that. I'm wondering though, can you just apply for an NFL GM job? Like, how does that work, Billy? Do we know?

[Scots]

Let me see. I'll see if there's like a listing on LinkedIn or something. Because like, I, I, I would think that. How do you, how does it, how does one apply to be general manager? We really should be asking the jets because they like interviewed everyone and anyone for every opening that they had. Oh, wow. Yeah, I found Trent Balki's LinkedIn. Yeah, it has a little thing here that says looking for work.

[Billy Gill]

Oh, wow. Well, he is.

[Stu Gatz]

Wow.

[Scots]

It doesn't. I made that part up. But I did find a LinkedIn that says his name. It could be fake.

[Billy Gill]

What are you trying to find? Whether or not the job has been listed on LinkedIn.

[Scots]

I'm seeing if it's been posted somewhere.

[Billy Gill]

But I'm asking seriously, like, can I just send my resume in and. And. And I get a. Well, I get an interview, or. How does this work? What.

[Scots]

What would your resume be like? What's your selling point? And then I guess once you get your foot in the door, what is your pitch to run the Jackson.

[Danny B]

Billy just said. Billy just said you got to get your foot in the door right now. You can become a seasonal dining room attendant.

[Billy Gill]

Right?

[Danny B]

Okay. So you get in there a few years, you never know.

[Billy Gill]

A few years?

[Scots]

Not a few years. This is the best opportunity. Yeah. We have two weeks to work with.

[Billy Gill]

We got a strike right now. They need a gm, and my friend is running the goddamn organization, and the.

[Scots]

Other one owns it. So, like, this is this. The stars are aligning on this, but we also have a meteor that's going to come and hit the Earth in, like, four years. So, like, really, there's no downside to this? Like, I think you might even bring that up with Tony. Be like, tony, listen.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah.

[Scots]

Let's be real here. I don't know if you're checking the news, but we have this asteroid meteor thing that's coming every day we turn on the news. It goes from 1.7% to 2.1% to 2.4%. It's coming.

[Billy Gill]

Yes.

[Scots]

It's gonna hit whether you like it or not. The end is near. We're about three to five years away from it all being over. Tony.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah.

[Scots]

What do you got to lose, right? Roll the dice on a friend of yours. I've been here. And then you can even say. And it's not. It's not nice, but you can even say, look, Tony, I was there for you when the Dan LeBatards of the world didn't want to have you on the show talking about the Jaguars back when you were just, you know, a commentator for the Jaguars, back when you were forgotten as a nominee for the NFL hall of Fame. Who. Who stood up for you like no one else. Like, I've done you a number of solids, and it's time for me to kind of cash in the favor that you owe me, and I'm going to be your general manager come hell or high. Water. And if it goes poorly again, Meteor's coming. No one's going to remember this, so it doesn't matter.

[Billy Gill]

Right. I like the pitch. And I could ask him, like, hey, Josh Williams is one of the candidates. Was he at your hall of Fame enshrinement? Was he. Was he there? Did he say anything on your behalf? Did he. Did he do anything? Huh?

[Scots]

Did he? I don't know.

[Billy Gill]

No, he didn't. I mean, okay, perhaps he did. I just wouldn't know Josh Williams if he was sitting in the studio with me right now.

[Scots]

So, yeah.

[Billy Gill]

All right, I'm. I'm in on this idea. So what do we do? How do we advance it? What's next?

[Scots]

I think you need to make a PowerPoint. I'm not sure, but I think you make a PowerPoint and then I think that you need to walk into your interview with, like, one of those really thick binders.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah.

[Scots]

That, like, you open up. And it's not like just like. Like that. It's like the one that opens up and then has the second open up thing that has, like, it. The capability of fitting, like, wow, 400 pages.

[Billy Gill]

Yes.

[Scots]

And then maybe what you do is. And I could be wrong, but maybe what you do is you put in something like. There's two ways we could go about this.

[Billy Gill]

I like writing my plan on the binder. Like.

[Scots]

Yeah, right. My plan on the front. On the front binder. Jacksonville Jaguars. My plan or my vision. Whatever.

[Billy Gill]

Yes.

[Scots]

Right.

[Billy Gill]

Yes.

[Scots]

And then, like, on the inside, either the first page is a photo of you and Bacelli at the hall of Fame, if you have one.

[Billy Gill]

I do.

[Scots]

Or. Or if you go a different route and you don't want to guilt him that way. You just. First page, when you open it up, it just says, I'm your guy. And then all of the other pages are blank.

[Billy Gill]

Right. How about a page that reads, don't make me go to the cons?

[Scots]

Wow.

[Stu Gatz]

I'm gonna do this same thing for that seasonal dining room attendant thing, by the way. That sounded good.

[Billy Gill]

I'll hire you. Okay. Yeah.

[Scots]

Wow. That. I didn't even think about that first time.

[Danny B]

Get the whole crew in.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah.

[Scots]

Wow.

[Billy Gill]

We're.

[Scots]

We're being selfless here. Just saying how to get Suga. It's the GM job. But, like.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah.

[Scots]

I'll be honest with you. This Dolphins hoodie can very easily become a Jaguars hoodie if they employ me. I'm not. I could just take that right off sale. You see that tour right there on the wall? That can be Trevor in A Jacksonville minute.

[Billy Gill]

Let's not get carried away.

[Scots]

Let's.

[Billy Gill]

Trevor's not our guy, Billy. I mean.

[Scots]

Well, hold on a second. I. I'm not paying to frame a Mark Brunel jersey, okay? Like, even I have a line. I'm not paying to frame assigned Mark Brunel jersey. That's simply not going to happen. So if that's the lie, I'll wear the hoodie. We're not doing Brunel. I can just, like, if that's the case, if that's what we're doing, I'll just move this slightly out of frame and it'll live over here.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah, but be careful because Brunel is B's boy. Like, best friends. Best friends, Billy.

[Danny B]

I love Brunel. That's my guy.

[Billy Gill]

You don't want to insult Brunel. I'm telling you, you can insult anyone, but not Mark Brunel. I.

[Scots]

All right, hold on a second. Let's. Let's backtrack that a little bit.

[Billy Gill]

Thank you. Appreciate it.

[Scots]

Big Brunel guy.

[Danny B]

I'll let it.

[Stu Gatz]

2026 Super Bowl Champion Jacksonville Jaguars colon the Stu Gots plan.

[Scots]

All right, hold on a second. I am now gonna look up a Mark Brunel jersey so I can put it right next to my Chris Sims jersey.

[Billy Gill]

Yes.

[Scots]

We're on to something here. Mark Brunel.

[Billy Gill]

Brunell is the key, I'm telling you right now.

[Scots]

Well, we should get Brunel on, and then, you know what you should do is you should get Brunel on and then have him write you a recommendation letter.

[Billy Gill]

Oh, I like that.

[Scots]

Yeah. Do you have any relationship to Mark Brunel?

[Billy Gill]

I don't. I don't. I mean. Baselli.

[Scots]

Wow. I think I found a game. Used Brunel jersey. 479. We're gonna go with a replica, right?

[Billy Gill]

Always dirty his jersey, man.

[Scots]

Yeah, this one's clean. This one's $32 scrappy. I could dirty it, though. I could. Go on, take this Brunel jersey into the yard and rub some dirt on it.

[Scots]

Mikey Yes, Fuentes. God Bless Football is presented by Smirnoff. We do game days. Please drink responsibly. The Smirnoff Company New York, NY so where do we stand on the interview process? Because I feel like we've had good ideas, but also we have more. Mike Be coming up a little bit later today and we also. I believe you teased a new segment moments ago.

[Billy Gill]

Yes, the hall of Hypotheticals. You want to start with the hall of Hypotheticals or do you want to kind of, you know, wrap up what we're doing here with Bacelli and me getting the GM job in Jacksonville?

[Scots]

I'm excited about the hall of Hypotheticals because I'm kind of curious as to how this works because this is one of those situations where you and Taylor just kind of running wild and doing things and Mikey, I I had a long time together with Taylor recently. We went on a road trip to Daytona and it was just me and Taylor in the car together. So I had four hours of just Taylor time on the way up and about four hours of Taylor time on the way down. And I have, I think, figured out Taylor and Stugatz's relationship and I did so on this drive and I can break it down for you guys if you want. Yes, you can agree or, or push back on this if you find anything wrong with what I'm going to say. Okay, so the nature of Taylor and Stugatz's relationship, I figured out they work well together for a number of reasons. But the main reason is is Stugats is really good at coming up with names for segments. Usually he just throws Stu in the middle of the name of the segment somewhere at the beginning, the middle or the End. Somehow his name is thrown into the segment. But that's where that ends. It's just, here's a great name for a segment. We'll figure out the rest after we get the name. The name is very important.

[Billy Gill]

Yes.

[Scots]

And then I found out Taylor's good at coming up with segments, but terrible at coming up with names. So it's a perfect marriage because Stugots can come up with the names, and then Taylor can craft the segment, or Taylor can craft the segment, and then Stugats figures out how to make it. You know, the Stegman or something. You know what I mean? Like, he'll just throw himself.

[Billy Gill]

I come up with the name, and he handles the nuts and bolts. I mean, Taylor is the steak and.

[Stu Gatz]

Stu Gotts is the sizzle. I got you.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah, well, I mean, I don't know if I'm the sizzle.

[Scots]

I don't know if you're. Yeah, I don't. I'm not sure sure about that one.

[Billy Gill]

So this is the hall of Hypotheticals. And I would like to turn this. Okay. I would like to turn this into a weekly or bi weekly feature. I only have one question for you today because, you know, we need imaging. We need to do these things correctly. So I just wanted to gently, you know, dip our. Dip our foot into the water here. Okay.

[Scots]

Okay. So you got. I have good news for you on that front. So you say that we still need image, and we need that good news. We already have a sponsor for the hall of Hypotheticals. It's Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka. Please drink responsibly.

[Billy Gill]

That was quick. I mean, they heard.

[Scots]

They said, you know what? Winners and losers. That was great. But there's no winners and losers in the off season. What can we do? And we said, you know what? We got you. Boom.

[Danny B]

Hall of Hypotheticals, Jaguar, Quick sponsorship.

[Scots]

Sure.

[Billy Gill]

What do you mean there's no winners or losers in the off season?

[Scots]

Well, in terms of, like, the segment. We used to do a segment.

[Stu Gatz]

This is. This is where the jets win. This is the only time the jets win.

[Billy Gill]

We're not winning the off season. Are we winning this off season? Because I have hope now because we're not winning the off season.

[Scots]

So, Mikey, I'm curious. I'm curious, before we get to hall of Hypotheticals, your thoughts on the jets and their off season thus far? They obviously have announced that Aaron Rodgers will not be part of the organization moving forward and then put out a thank you, Aaron message. Now, I know Stugatz's thoughts. On this because he has been kind of like grumbling about it, said, thanks for nothing, blah, blah, all of this stuff, while also saying, I wish he was still our quarterback. So where do you stand on this situation? Because he was both outraged that he got a thank you and then and was like, he just done nothing. He doesn't deserve it. But I also still want him to be our quarterback.

[Stu Gatz]

Very close to St. Gotts is where I slide.

[Scots]

Because you guys know the worst.

[Billy Gill]

What do you mean with the worst? They're the worst. Don't blame us.

[Stu Gatz]

He was so bad this year that the jets with, despite him starting every game, won five games. And you know what? He's still their best option for next year. So he's absolutely right. You need to go away. We hate you. But stay.

[Billy Gill]

No. So my, my position is there's no need to thank him. He didn't do anything as a New York Jet quarterback besides come to the New York Jets. And maybe we should thank him for just coming to the New York jets, but there's no way we should thank him on the way out. Now he's on the way out. That's not my decision. I don't think he should be on the way out because 18 touchdowns, four interceptions, last 10 games last year. And to Mikey's point, we don't have a better option at quarterback. So no need to thank him. And yes, please come back.

[Scots]

What. What do you think if Aaron didn't come to the jets, what do you think the last two seasons would have been? I mean, because we kind of got it the first season right, where he immediately gets injured and then you still have Zach Wilson. But, like, if Aaron didn't come to the jets, do you think that Zach plays out that first season and they move on from him last year? So, like, you're basically a year behind because of Aaron, because you would have probably made the move on from Zach and brought in someone else.

[Stu Gatz]

This past year, six quarterbacks were taken in the top 12 picks. Last year, the jets had the 10th pick. They would have wound up with one of those six quarterbacks. And honestly, all six of them look pretty good right now.

[Billy Gill]

Oh, my God.

[Scots]

Let's see what's up.

[Stu Gatz]

J.J. mcCarthy.

[Billy Gill]

Are you. Are. Billy's checking right now to see who went after the 10th pick.

[Scots]

I'm trying to. I'm trying to see who you would have wound up with.

[Stu Gatz]

We would have had our choice of Bo Nix or, or J.J. mcCarthy.

[Billy Gill]

But here's the thing. We would have ruined Bo Nixon. Sean Payton turns him into a Pro Bowler. We would have ruined Bo Nicks. That's. That's the problem, Billy. That's what we're settled with, you know.

[Scots]

Yeah.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah. We could have traded up for Drake May. I mean, I still can't believe you.

[Scots]

Didn'T get Brock Bowers. That seemed like a easy pick for the jets last year.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah. Who they take, I forget.

[Stu Gatz]

Olu Fashanu.

[Scots]

Yeah.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah.

[Stu Gatz]

It's not sexy, right Pick, but anyway, I want, I want hall of Hypotheticals.

[Billy Gill]

Was it really the right pick? Was it really the right pick?

[Stu Gatz]

It's. Listen, left tackle is not a position you want to need, right?

[Scots]

Would you have taken, Would you have taken J.J. or Bo?

[Stu Gatz]

Yes, they would have taken J.J. i.

[Scots]

Bet, instead of Bo.

[Stu Gatz]

Yes.

[Scots]

And would you have been happy with, with J.J. mcCarthy as your quarterback?

[Stu Gatz]

Sure. It would have been Aaron Rodgers 2.0. It would have been. We got the guy for the future. He got hurt before, you know, right as the season started. Now we have all the. Yay. Now we have him for real this time.

[Billy Gill]

I think J.J. mcCarthy, if the jets drafted him, would, would eventually still be in Minnesota.

[Scots]

So let me ask you a question. If, if, if the, if the Vikings lose their mind and they say, you know what, we're going to commit to Sam Darnold long term, let's see what we can get for JJ McCarthy. Would you be in on trading for JJ McCarthy right now?

[Stu Gatz]

Second round pick?

[Billy Gill]

Yes, second round pick.

[Danny B]

There's no way to give him up for a second round pick.

[Stu Gatz]

Of course they don't, but I'm not giving. But I'm not giving them the seventh overall pick.

[Danny B]

Yeah, that's different.

[Stu Gatz]

Or a guy who.

[Danny B]

Well, I mean, I get it though because it's a weak quarterback draft. The two best quarterbacks going to be gone way before seven. So giving the seventh round pick for a guy if you think he's just as good as Cam Ward or, or Sanders, maybe not that crazy, but that's.

[Scots]

What I'm, that's what I'm wondering is you give up your first round pick and get a first rounder from last year, this year.

[Stu Gatz]

Now the funny thing is how about a pick swap? Actually move from the. Move from what, 26, 28, whatever the, the Vikings are to seven. That, that I would do.

[Danny B]

I actually like McCarthy more this year. If you get him for that because he's been in the NFL a year so he has NFL weight program. He has like NFL. So he's like.

[Stu Gatz]

No.

[Scots]

Logic is odd.

[Billy Gill]

Are you saying this worked out well for.

[Danny B]

No, no, What I'm just saying is like, he's, he hasn't played right?

[Billy Gill]

So.

[Danny B]

But he has. Like, he's been in NFL systems. There's no like NFL shock value. Like, he's not like, oh, my God, what is this? Like, he's seen NFL speed. Not on the field, but he's seen it in practice. He's been around and he knows what it looks like where coming.

[Scots]

And I'm pretty sure he threw a.

[Stu Gatz]

Pick six in his first pass.

[Danny B]

It's a preseason. Who cares?

[Scots]

But I'm just saying, you, if you trade, if you trade the number seven pick for him this year, his value has increased three spots without over a year when he didn't play. Yeah.

[Billy Gill]

Yep. That's what the jets would do. Yes. I'll tell you right now, I would give up the first round pick for Michael Penck, though.

[Scots]

I would, I wouldn't get. I don't think that just his arm. Michael Penck, I think, I think you guys are going to get Kirk, right?

[Billy Gill]

Yeah, probably.

[Stu Gatz]

I hope not.

[Scots]

Really?

[Billy Gill]

What?

[Stu Gatz]

Why get rid of Aaron Rodgers to bring in lesser Aaron Rodgers?

[Danny B]

I would just stick with Tyrod. Give me Tyrod for a year.

[Scots]

You know what you, you know what you should do? What is it? No, you don't want Jamis because James. No, you don't, because Jamis is just good enough to make sure you're picking like 17 next year. You know what I mean?

[Billy Gill]

He's good enough to get you like 8 and 9.

[Scots]

Yeah, I, I think you inquire about bringing Zach back for a year and get yourself like the number two pick in the draft. You know what I mean? Like, let's, let's, let's fix this and let's do it with our guy. Like, Zach, come on back. I like, we're gonna, we're gonna get the number two pick.

[Stu Gatz]

I like, I don't hate your plan.

[Billy Gill]

No, in fact, I. Because Coupe's coming out.

[Danny B]

I mean, that, that, that's the thing.

[Scots]

Like Arch, but that's Arch.

[Danny B]

James is the guy who, like, will have you.

[Billy Gill]

Will have you feeling like James.

[Scots]

Oh, wow. Maybe, maybe you bring in Coupe so that he. I mean, we know he can like 50 years old. You bring in Cooper Manning so that you can draft his son. Not the worst idea. Sorry, Puente is. What were you saying? I don't know.

[Danny B]

Javis is the kind of guy that he wins enough games and the team looks good. You're like, oh, the team looks good, Looks good. We just need a quarterback. And then, you know, that's a lie.

[Billy Gill]

Right.

[Scots]

But also like the team looks good enough that you can't draft a good quarterback because he's done just enough.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah.

[Scots]

Like that's, that's the problem with Jamis is that Jamis is like a very average NFL starting quarterback. Like, he's not terrible. He's not a superstar. He's good enough to be your starting quarterback, to have you kind of be a wild card team forever.

[Billy Gill]

Yes.

[Scots]

And then he can get hot and he can maybe take you on a run. But also he could throw four interceptions to get you bounced in the first.

[Billy Gill]

Round and we end up with Jackson Dart.

[Stu Gatz]

I mean, after 14 years of no playoffs. I'll take the Saturday game against the Texans every year for a while.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah. Yeah, you're right. I would too. I'd kill for that game.

[Danny B]

Saturday at 3pm Yep.

[Billy Gill]

Guys, hall of Hypotheticals brought to you by Smirnoff. Quickly here. Eli Manning, as you know, not a first ballot hall of Famer. Won two Super Bowls with the Giants.

[Scots]

Wow.

[Stu Gatz]

Absolutely. Absolutely. Not even a question.

Yes?

We do game days. Please drink responsibly. The Smirnoff Company New York, New York. Steve. Guys, I'm excited.

[Billy Gill]

Why?

[Scots]

Because we're going to play one of my favorite games that we do in the off season. More likely.

[Billy Gill]

Oh, wow.

[Scots]

Yeah, I'm a big. I'm a big more likely guy. I'm gonna be honest with you.

[Billy Gill]

How'd you feel about pressure? How'd you feel about the hall of hypotheticals? Billy?

[Scots]

I. I liked it. I think. I think we could do more. We just did kind of a. An abridged week. Quick, quick version. We just had one boom and then we just kind of flew through it. I think. I think we can do more with the hall of hypotheticals. I think maybe it also needs a little pizzazz, a little steak sizzle situation, as Mikey would say. You know what I mean?

[Billy Gill]

Yep, I do.

[Scots]

Did you guys see. And Mikey sent this to us before we get to more Mikely. Did you guys see that? The athletic did a story and it was about NFL players and their houses being broken into. And the person that they interviewed for this piece was one Robert Goon.

[Billy Gill]

Get out of here. They found Goons.

[Scots]

The name. The name on the quote was Robert Goon. Rob Gronkowski, assistant during 2018. House break. Housemate.

[Stu Gatz]

Housemate.

[Scots]

They wrote his name.

[Billy Gill]

Yes.

[Scots]

And we didn't. I didn't think that this was a real name together. Bobby Goons I thought was a nickname and I thought his name was Bobby something else.

[Billy Gill]

Right.

[Scots]

His name is actually Robert Goon.

[Billy Gill]

Robbie Goons.

[Scots]

That goes by. Well, there can't be two Robs in that situation. So he becomes Bobby Very. That's. Yes, that became very easy. And this wasn't a thing of like, Robbie G. And sure. Well, they'd both be Robbie G, which would be even more conf. Imagine Gronk having someone around him with the exact same nickname as him. It'd just be way too confusing. Which also, if we're gonna be honest, is probably still very confusing, because all of his brothers are the Gronks, so we can't have all of the Gronks and then two Robbie G's at the same time. It's just a lot. Plus, his dad's name is Gordy and his brother's name is Gordy. There's just a lot of things going on there to cause confusion. So it becomes clear why it is that Robert Goon became Bobby Goons, but also his last name actually being Goon. Surprise of the century.

[Billy Gill]

Shocker.

[Scots]

Could not believe that that was real.

[Stu Gatz]

And the fact that they called him Robert Goon, it makes him sound so official. Like, he's not the guy that we know.

[Billy Gill]

Right.

[Stu Gatz]

He's Bobby Goons. He's not Robert Goon.

[Billy Gill]

Robert Goons and Bobby Goons are totally different people. I mean, come on, man.

[Scots]

Robert Goon is my dad.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah.

[Scots]

That's a Bobby.

[Billy Gill]

Yes. If your last name is Goons, your first name has to be Bobby, right? I mean, but his name is Goon.

[Scots]

Singular. They made him Bobby Goons, plural. It's crazy.

[Stu Gatz]

He's only one Goon.

[Danny B]

Yeah. Robert Goons is a cpa and, like.

[Scots]

Crazy Bobby Goons on the corner, Bobby.

[Billy Gill]

Goons will kill you.

[Danny B]

Exactly. Yeah.

[Scots]

Bobby Goons comes to collect with a smile, though. Yeah. What a lovely man in person, Fuentes.

[Stu Gatz]

Robert Goon is a housemate.

[Danny B]

Robert.

[Stu Gatz]

Bobby Goons is a roommate.

[Danny B]

Robert Goons keeps the numbers. Bobby Goons runs numbers.

[Billy Gill]

You would agree. The first time he comes to collect, he's smiling. The second time, not so nice, right? I mean.

[Scots]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Billy Gill]

Smiley Goons don't make Robert turn into Bobby.

[Scots]

When we would hear the stories of Bobby Goons and the things that he would have to clean up for them, I couldn't read that story seriously, with it saying Robert Goon. So Bobby Goons was out there talking to the cops in. In Massachusetts, like it made sense. Dudes, they're out there running around again. They're doing donuts on people's front lawns. Like, I got this off of officer.

[Billy Gill]

Don't worry.

[Scots]

I'll clean it up. And then they had to reside the neighbor's lawns. That's not what a Robert Goon is doing.

[Billy Gill]

No. As Fuentes pointed out, he's doing Your taxes?

[Scots]

Yeah.

[Stu Gatz]

Yeah.

[Billy Gill]

All right.

[Scots]

I can use a tax guy, by the way, if we're going to be honest. If you. If you're a tax person out there, let me know. It's tax season. Robert Goon didn't love my tax last year.

[Billy Gill]

You did, huh?

[Stu Gatz]

Robert Goon, cpa.

[Billy Gill]

If you have Bobby Goons do your.

[Danny B]

Taxes, I think you're straight to jail.

[Scots]

Jail is coming up.

[Danny B]

Probably you're going to jail. I'm sorry, the FBI's on the lawn. It's over.

[Scots]

Bobby Goons. Bobby Goons or Robert Goon. Let me not disparage. I was gonna say Bobby Goons or Robert Goon is the name of someone, not him, obviously, who would never do it, but, like, the guy that during COVID they, like, found out, like, oh, if I start a small business, they could send me $40 million and no one will notice. And they all got.

[Danny B]

Check out these loans.

[Scots]

Ppp.

[Billy Gill]

Are you saying you call Robert, you say, had the tax return go this year, and he said his response is seven months. Federal President.

[Danny B]

It's going to be some guys coming to the house with suits on.

[Billy Gill]

I got seven months this year.

[Scots]

Good news. I got you $10 million. And you're like, bobby, I didn't make anywhere near that.

[Billy Gill]

How did that.

[Scots]

How's that? My returns, like. Well, in exchange for that, though, six months out. The rest, I take it.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah.

[Stu Gatz]

For that amount of money.

[Billy Gill]

I mean, the 10 millions waiting for me on the other side.

[Scots]

Well, and. And, you know, I. I don't know this is a fact, but I feel like if you're the GM of the Jaguars.

[Billy Gill]

Yes.

[Scots]

You could do that remotely. Right.

[Billy Gill]

I hope so. I'm not taking the job unless I can. I mean.

[Scots]

There you go. Okay. All right. Sorry. More Mikely. I got his way off topic, by the way. Also, stugats. Just a fun announcement for me. I'm going to be doing some college baseball games this weekend. Well, I guess just one college baseball game on ESPN plus. So if you're out there and you're interested in watching an FIU college baseball game, I'll be broadcasting on ESPN plus. My return to espn.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah. Pause up.

[Scots]

Yeah.

[Billy Gill]

Are you doing play by play or what are you doing?

[Scots]

I'm doing color.

[Billy Gill]

Okay. All right.

[Scots]

Yeah.

[Billy Gill]

You're great at that, though. I mean, we'll see.

[Scots]

I actually scheduled a call with the other broadcaster. I'm like, hey, let's get on a call because I want to kind of give you a heads up of how this is probably going to be going.

[Billy Gill]

You're going to hate me by the bottom of the second.

[Scots]

A hundred. A hundred percent. It's just a call to set up, like, just so you know. You're going to hate me. It's coming. I don't want you to be surprised by this hatred. I want you to be mentally prepared. For what? For the journey we're going to go on together.

[Stu Gatz]

This poor guy thinks he's getting Robert Goon and he's getting Bobby goons.

[Scots]

Oh, 100% Bobby goons into this game and this broadcast. And this is one of at least five that's scheduled presently, so buckle up.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah, this poor guy, and he's like.

[Scots]

A recent college grad. I think he went to Syracuse Broadcasting. It's like, hate to tell you. Syracuse Broadcasting School. Great. They didn't prepare you for what's coming, right?

[Billy Gill]

Newhouse School did not prepare you for Bobby Goon.

[Scots]

For Billy Goons.

[Billy Gill]

Can we have the voice of the. Of the FIU Panthers? Can we have them on next week to kind of break down his relationship with you?

[Scots]

I mean, we may not be on speaking terms by then.

[Billy Gill]

You have four more games, though.

[Scots]

I know.

[Billy Gill]

You have to communicate. Do you know his name, this kid?

[Scots]

Yeah, I know his name. His name's Zach.

[Billy Gill]

All right, let's get Zach on next week. Can we try?

[Scots]

All right, maybe we'll see if you're.

[Billy Gill]

Still on speaking terms.

[Scots]

Terms.

[Billy Gill]

All right, let's get to Mikey's game. That's awesome, Billy. I'm happy for you. Let's. Let's get to. I'm not happy for the voice of the. No.

[Scots]

Poor Zach. And. And my. It's my understanding there's also a former player that's gonna. It's a three man booth. Oh, wow. I'm really gonna have some leeway way here.

[Billy Gill]

Wait, which former player do you know yet?

[Scots]

I don't know. It's not Mike Lowell. I know that.

[Billy Gill]

That's the only guy I was thinking of.

[Scots]

Not Michael.

[Billy Gill]

All right.

[Scots]

You know. You know who was there a couple years ago? Stugats. I went to a game. Joe Girardi. I think his son was on the team and he was just kind of hanging out. Like at the stadium?

[Billy Gill]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I used to see him at the local Starbucks all the time, just hanging around, waiting for someone to offer him a job, and they did.

[Scots]

That's not what he was doing. That's. You're disparaging the man. Did you almost buy his house just because you saw it was his house?

[Billy Gill]

Yeah, he lives in my neighborhood. I almost Bought his house because he has three no hitter balls right in the front. Like, promise.

[Scots]

But they don't come with the house.

[Billy Gill]

No, but I was trying to. To negotiate it into the cost of the house.

[Danny B]

Everything's. Everything's available.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah, if you're gonna leave it out there, it's available. I mean, he's got three of them. I mean, my God, when I.

[Scots]

When I look at. When I looked at my house that I live in now, like, in this exact, like, room. When we did, like, the tour, this was like, I don't know what. This must have been an office also. And they had a. A Brett Favre mini helmet. Like, signed, but it was a Vikings mini helmet. I'm like, that's cool. I wonder if they'll just kind of forget that. But I obviously didn't think, like, at the height of COVID let me negotiate in an autographed mini helmet that I saw on the tour. Because why would anyone think, like, this is something that's going to be a deal breaker or not a Vikings mini helmet. Exactly. Vikings, too. Of all things. Like, if you. If. I mean, at this point.

[Billy Gill]

He had a great year, though. Farb did. He did.

[Scots]

He did. Bad time to be in the Brett Favre collectibles business, I would think.

[Billy Gill]

I know, but this is what me and Mikey keep telling you. Billy Favre left the jets and took the Vikings to an NFC championship game. That's why we're worried about Aaron Rodgers. He'll do the same thing to us. Not because he can, because he's doing it to the Jets.

[Scots]

But Zach Wilson didn't take the Broncos anywhere.

[Billy Gill]

You're right.

[Stu Gatz]

Yeah.

[Billy Gill]

Bo Nix did. They should have drafted Bo. Nick. Yes.

[Scots]

Yeah, but. But Zach also may be coming back next year.

[Billy Gill]

I hate them. I love that idea. Let's get to Mikey's game here, please.

[Stu Gatz]

Well, on that downer.

[Scots]

Exactly. Don't sound so excited.

[Billy Gill]

Jets. There's no way to get excited, man.

[Stu Gatz]

All right. More likely to pick first in the NFL draft. The Titans or the field?

[Danny B]

I got my answer.

[Billy Gill]

I'm telling you right now. If we're in Tennessee and the Titans trade that pick, I'm telling.

[Scots]

Yeah, I hope that happens.

[Danny B]

Ever since.

[Stu Gatz]

Why do you think it's on here? Why do you think this question is on?

Ever since Stu put it out there, I'm more convinced than ever that they're gonna trade that thing.

[Scots]

Well, but, like, they can't trade too far down. The only way that you trade, I think, is like maybe just. Dude, I would. I would just trade to like the Giants, like three to one. But even that is an unnecessary trade for the Giants because one of the two quarterbacks will still be there if the Titans even take a quarterback.

[Billy Gill]

I don't think they will. I. You have a chance to get a generational player in Travis Hunter. So I'm going to say the Titans, to answer your question, because why not draft that kid? You know, at Billy's, right, you don't want to trade too far down because you run the risk of someone else taking that kid, you know.

[Stu Gatz]

Well, you could also trade a few down and get a dual Carter.

[Danny B]

Yeah, you could.

[Stu Gatz]

You could move. That's the.

[Danny B]

I mean, if you're. If you're convinced on another year of Will Levis, you can move back a couple spots, let the quarterbacks take and still get Abdul Carter and gain some more stuff.

[Billy Gill]

I know, but you have. You're Tennessee, you're boring. No one cares about you. Then you get Travis Hunter and suddenly everyone cares.

[Scots]

But you're not a Travis Hunter away.

[Billy Gill]

No. No.

[Danny B]

You're not an Abdul Carter away either, to be honest.

[Billy Gill]

Like, right. So you might as well take the guy who's got more appeal, you know, I mean, so I think Tennessee. Yes. That's why it's such a good. That's why it's Billy's favorite game. I'm not certain we ever answer a single question.

[Danny B]

It's a good game.

[Scots]

I'll say the Fields, even though I don't think it's. I don't think it's gonna happen. But I'll say the field.

[Billy Gill]

All right.

[Stu Gatz]

All right. More likely to be a starting quarterback next season, Jameis Winston or Daniel Jones.

[Billy Gill]

Oh, wow.

[Scots]

Hold on. I have a. I have a question. Is it like on a fill in basis or like this is our starter. Are injuries involved?

[Stu Gatz]

No.

[Scots]

So this is. So a team has picked one of these two to be their starter opening week.

[Stu Gatz]

Okay, They're. They're the starter opening week, whether you want to call it based on injury or not. But it's not like a one week fill in in week nine because of a hamstring.

[Billy Gill]

This team has declared this person their starting quarterback to start the season. Season.

[Scots]

I hope the jets get Daniel Jones.

[Billy Gill]

So badly, you stole my thunder.

[Danny B]

I see him as a Raider.

[Billy Gill]

Daniel Jones.

[Scots]

If Tom Darnold. Listen to me. Listen to me. If Tom Brady, genius football mind, who's now taken the reins in Las Vegas and is calling all the shots, settles on Daniel Jones to be his starting quarterback, one, everyone will be like, he sees something. He must be right. But also, what an idiot. If that's the decision that we make, this team needs Daniel Jones to lead it. I say Jameis Winston.

[Billy Gill]

I say, unfortunately, Daniel Jones, and not to the Raiders, but I actually believe he might be the jets starting quarterback.

[Scots]

Oh no.

[Stu Gatz]

Yuck.

[Scots]

What a sad franchise.

[Billy Gill]

You're just realizing this, folks.
