Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts. This is Levittown, a new podcast from iHeart podcasts Bloomberg and Kaleidoscope about the rise of deepfake pornography and the battle to stop it. Listen to Levittown on Bloomberg's Big Take podcast. Find it on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Ever wonder what it would be like to be mentored by today's top business leaders? My podcast this is Working can help with that. Here's some advice from Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, on standing out from the leadership crowd. Develop your EQ A lot of people have plenty of brains, but EQ is do you trust me? Do I communicate well? Develop the team, develop the people. Create a system of trust. And it works over time. I'm Dan Roth, LinkedIn's editor in chief. On my podcast this is Working Leaders Share Strategies for Success. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. The culture's favorite regaton, historian, public scholar and recording artist. Yes, that means I've done the work on my show that I get the Colagata podcast. I'm not only talking Mianor, who has the Number one reggaeton track in the world right now. I'm also going beyond perro to speak with music and editors like Raina, who is known for her media roquera tracks, and collaborating with artists like Bob Bonnie. We're also giving you the cultural breakdown straight from the source. Listen to Regeto colagata on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. You are listening to the Dan Patrick show on Fox sports Radio. It's big news, bro. It's really not. I don't think it is. Is it off the air? Rich is trying to convince me that it's huge news that Katy Perry's now out of space. I'm in outer space. I mean, congrats. I'm glad. They had a great time. They're back already, though. Big news. Like, is it really? It was kind of wild to see, but big news. I didn't hear anybody talk about this. It would be bigger news if she put weight back on because she's one of those. Was it Ozempic? I'm not sure, but she was. No, I'm saying, like with. With weight on. She had nice curves and was like a really attractive female. She could have even gained more weight. I would have fed her more cheeseburgers. She's so skinny right now. And that's Danny G, everyone. Tammy. No, but that's the opposite of what annoys people. I can't say either. We are live from the Mercedes Benz studios. Again, Covino and Rich in for the great Dan Patrick. Yes, you can. Spot. Big is beautiful. Yes, absolutely. That's his preference. You can't tell him what he likes. So Spot likes big. Adele, he doesn't like him just because Spot is all skinny now. Yeah. 2020. We got Zillow, Danny G. Super producing on the phones at 87799 on Fox. We got Iowa Sam in the studio today on the ones and twos. Samuel, he's with us five to seven on the east on our regular Monday the Friday show. And again, play along home at Covino and Rich. I'm Steve Covino. That's Rich Davis. Our buddy Mark's hanging out. Thank you guys for hanging out with us. Now, we are giving away prizes, so stick around. We're gonna play some games. Today. We got to talk about Lebron and other things that were in the news this weekend. But the Masters, everybody's talking about it. You know, on a personal note, yeah, I see myself golfing in the future, just not right now. I see you mini golfing. I mean, I Am pretty good, you know, Mini golfing's more my speed, to be honest. You ever let your daughter or girlfriend beat you at mini golf? Never. No. Builds character, you know, you gotta play your heart out every time. So Paige Spranek, who's been on the show, made a post. She's a delight. She is a delight. She was great. Hot take, but I wish all sporting events banned phones. It was so special to see everyone enjoying the moment and being present. And I have to say, I had a similar experience over the weekend before we went to Sacramento to watch the Mets and the A's. We had a great weekend again. You could see it at Covino and Rich. We did the Bushwhackers on Friday night. It was my buddy Jose's party. Now, if you listen to SiriusXM, Jose Mangan is the heavy metal ambassador of SiriusXM. So at his birthday party. Is that on his business card? Ambassador? No, seriously? Yeah, yeah. Like, you know where yours says radio tycoon. Okay. His says heavy metal ambassador. No. What did you call me before? The pop princess. Because I knew Katy Perry was in outer space. Anyway, go back to. So Jose, who's a rock host, you know, we're radio friends throughout the years. It was his birthday party, but he had the band Machine Head playing at his birthday party. Now, I'm not the biggest Machine Head fan, but they've been around forever. That's way cooler than when you had a magician at your birthday party. Way better than Captain Crossbones. So, hey, pick a card, kids. Yeah, way better than when Magic Mark was there. And I'm at the event for my buddy's birthday. This is Friday night in Los Angeles, actually, in Seal Beach. And when I got to the event, they're like, all right, give us your phones. Like, give you my phone. There's a lot of stuff that I don't want anyone to know about on this phone. I'm not handing over my phone to you, stranger. Can't do it. Yeah. And, you know, they put them in these little packets. I'm sure you guys have been to an event, if not for any sort of major event or where it's private or whatever. They don't want you to have phones. They take your phones. Movie screenings do that a lot. Yeah, movie screenings. They did it on the White Lotus this season. Season three. So that people can enjoy their time on vacation. They put them in protective packets, little cases, and they're like, we'll give them to you later. I'm like, all right, cool. Can I tell You, Rich, it was like a throwback of awesome because you're in the moment. You know what I enjoyed Machine Head. You know what I enjoyed their performance. You know, I enjoyed talking to people and having conversations and fun and friends and like, wow, this is what we used to do, right? Like talk and interact. And that's kind of what you saw at the Masters this weekend when people were really in the moment watching McElroy win. You're forced to be the old social, not reliant on your phone version of yourself. So what do you think about the at all sporting events? I think it's fantastic. I think that's a good start. I really do. It's. It's impossible to really make happen, but, man, it would be awesome if they could. Why is it impossible? You're not going to be able to check 50,000 phones at a football stadium. You're not gonna be able to check. Yeah, but you could check yourself or you could wreck yourself. What if you have a babysitter at home with your toddler, though? I know there's always a cude you don't need your phones for emergencies. Danny G. I'm glad you brought that up because that really is the only thing that irks me. We're all, you know, dads. Most of us here are our dads or we have little kids in an emergency, you never know. You want that? But again, what did our dads do? They survived. We didn't know where the hell they were. I guess when the. Well, they left for packs of cigarettes. I was gonna say, guess what? Dinner happened. Dinner happened when dad got home. And you had no clue when dad was coming home. When dad got home from the nudie bar, who knows where dad was? We didn't know. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.

In 2020, a group of young women in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI fueled nightmare. Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts on my body. Parts that looked exactly like my own. I wanted to. I wanted to scream. It happened in Levittown, New York. But reporting the series took us through the darkest corners of the Internet and to the front lines of a global battle against deepfake pornography. This should be illegal, but what is this? This is a story about a technology that's moving faster than the law and about vigilantes trying to stem the tide. I'm Margie Murphy. And I'm Olivia Carvell. This is Levittown, a new podcast from iHeart podcasts Bloomberg and Kaleidoscope. Listen to Levittown on Bloomberg's Big Take podcast. Find it on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On November 5, 2018, at 6:33am, a red Volkswagen Golf was found abandoned in a ditch out in Sleephole Valley. The driver's seat door was open. No traces of footsteps leaving the vehicle. No belongings were found, except for a cassette tape lodged in the player. On that tape were 10 vile. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Grotesque. Oh, my God. Horrific stories that to this day have been kept restricted from the public. Until now. You feeling this, too? A horror anthology podcast. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm watching the highlights of Ohtani's home run last night. Then he hit another one. There's your daughter on tv, cheering. Oh, she's holding a sign. I hate my dad, Shohei Ohtani. Wait, there she is, holding another sign. My dad stinks. And so did the Mets. So do the Mets. Wow. Hey, it's Kavino and Rich in for the great Dan Patrick. Day two of the Dan Patrick hat trick. Which means we'll be here tomorrow and we'll be here next Tuesday. So lucky you. Well, do you know why we're going to be here next Tuesday. And by the way, we're live from the Mercedes Benz studios. DP does it right next week. Dan's on Monday. We're going to be filling on Tuesday because they're headed to the NFL draft as a show. They'll be doing the show NFL draft style Wednesday and Thursday, I believe. So with that said, we're going to talk about some NFL quarterback moves and some speculation and some rumors coming up in a few minutes. Plus, what type of vacation person are you? A lot. A lot of fun and randomness. But here's where we start Today. My daughter goes to the Dodgers game last night with her little girlfriends, her little gal pals. My daughter's 7, and one of the moms is like, we're taking the girls because it's hello Kitty night. And I was like, yeah, you could bring my daughter. Thank you for the invite. My daughter comes home last night with a hello Kitty Dodgers stuffy, a Dodgers hat and a little helmet. And she's like, dad, I think I like the Dodgers, but I mean, I'll root for the Mets if they play each other. And I'm like, oh, she's just saying that because she doesn't want to crush me. There's a lot going on here, man, because first and first, mostly, as we say here on the show, look at the smile on her face. Most importantly is the fun that she had. Okay? So let's be real about it. Let's go, Dodgers, man. They're just rubbing it into Dad's face. Dad's a lifelong Mets guy. And again, these are your roots, and you got to be proud of them. We're out here alone in Los Angeles, but we live in la. You're a New York kid. We live in la. You live in la. Whoopity do. So here's the thing. My daughter has never been to Citi Field. And this summer, when we go visit New York family, I'm gonna take her for the first time. We live in la. Am I doing her a disservice by being like, no, we're Mets fans. There's so many ways to look at it. I'm the dad of teenage daughter. She doesn't give a diddly squat about baseball. Meanwhile, her dad's, like, obsessed with baseball and the Yankees. Right? So you do your best to influence your kids. However, I bond over music and other things with my daughter. Right. I think you have a duty as a parent, not just as a dad, as a parent, to say the right things and to do your part. But then they're going to make their own choices anyway. And you learn that as time goes on and about everything, like political views, ways of life, any sort of thing that you think you feel it's your job. It could be as simple as, hey, they know to stay safe and put on their seatbelt. But it's your job as your dad, as a dad or as a parent to remind them, hey, put your seatbelt on. I know that. I know, but I'm just doing my job. Yeah, it's kind of your job to be like, remember, we root for the Mets. If they make their own decisions and she becomes a Dodgers fan, you know, that's, that's fine. They're going to make their own decisions, but you still have to do your part. That's my point. But you also have to argue. You can't be so willy nilly and free about. Yeah, I guess she's. No, we're Dodgers fans. And you'd say it with a smile because you're not going to force her to think what you think. But you got to remind her, like, we're Dodgers fans. No, we're Mets fans. I mean, we're Mets fans. See, now you're, you're, you're confusing me. Are we Dodgers fans? No, we're not. So your calls, your feedback phones are all lit, every single line. So let's handle it when your kid chooses a different team. Let's go rapid fire, or as we like to say, throw it back to the 90s crossfire. We get caught up in the. You know. You never had that toy, huh? I never had it, but I'm very well aware of it. That means you got to be snappy. Let's go through all the phone calls. 7799 on Fox, Pennsylvania. Mio, what's going on? Hey, thank you. First time, long time. I love the Cowboys. I grew up a Cowboys fan. I basically hate everything. Philadelphia sports. Oh, yeah. My son has been influenced by his cousins and his cousin's family and now came up to me and says, dad, I love the Eagles. Come on, kid. You know I love and hate that story all at once. Poor Miho. Yeah, but you also have to teach again. Try again. Your part, right? You can't control your kid and you want them to be free thinkers and be proud of their choices. But you have to teach them, or at least try to teach and preach to them that, no, we don't fall into peer pressure, you know, have a backbone. This is who we are and that's what we do. You got to just do Your part, like you said, it's heartbreaking. Like you said, there's times in life where you, you do lose control of your kids. And the example we gave was how many times does a kid come back from college and all of a sudden they're like a liberal hippie and their parents like, what happened to you? All the time. I'm sure our parents felt the same way about us. Dave in Colorado. What's up, Dave? Hey, Dave. What's up guys? Thanks for taking the call. No problem. Thank you. Yo, man, I got a, I guess a quick admission. I grew up in Detroit, so we attended all like old school Pistons games and Tigers games. When you could find tickets on the ground, walk right in. So by default, I was kind of a Detroit sports fan. But I've been in Colorado 20, I don't know, over 20 years now and my rear end kicked in at an Avalanche game wearing some, some Red Wings gear when I'm just more of a hockey and a sports fan. So I don't know. I agree with you guys about your concepts of snowplow parenting. You want to have your kids go through that adversity. But man, I don't know if I want to feel the next shush from wearing like a out of town jersey, you know? Yeah. You know what the one sport I guess I would say I'm most passionate about as far as that's, that's my old school team is, is baseball. I'm a, I'm a kid from Long Island. I love the Mets. Right? So can't they give dad that, Give me the Mets. And you know what I'm saying, like if they want to root for the Lakers or hey, fine. I was going to say, I'll, I'll even myself. I was never a big Knicks fan. I can't call myself a Lakers fan, but I've been out here over a decade. I like Lakers, Kings. I'm a big hockey basketball guy. My die hard alliances are NFL and Major League Baseball. So not all traditions have to die rich. Yeah, you know, like she carries your last name because you're her dad. Yeah. You know what, I'll give you this one. And she carries the Mets. Losing tradition because you're her dad. How do you feel about this, Danny G? You and I and Cavino, we've all come up in the radio ranks and you know, we all have these friends that have moved around the country for radio or TV gigs. Like, hey, our friend Nico, he's the new morning guy in Phoenix. Or hey, you know, remember Dana who used to work on the show. She's the new news anchor in Philadelphia. How do you feel about when media personalities adopt the city they live in for a long time? These are not real sports. Like, our buddy Nico is from Detroit. He's very fickle, but he's the morning guy in Phoenix. Now, there's a way to handle that respectfully. I mean, go Cardinals. You know, you can do your job and show some cardinal pride, but you got to represent. It would be really hard to just bold face, lie to your new listeners, Especially with the ink I have on my body, you know, how would I suddenly be a fan of their team? Yeah, you're, You're. You're an extreme example. But I see my buddy Nico, who I know grew up in Detroit, lived in New York for like 20 years. He's a big time morning guy in Phoenix. And I see him, like on social media, like, yo, yo, sons. You know, sons fired their coach. You know, go, sons. I'm like, sons. Okay? If he really meant that, he's just a people pleaser. And I know he's not. He's our pal. So I think he's just doing his job and he's doing the right thing in that moment. But you could be a heel and just as popular. It's true. I mean, even our former president. Didn't Obama wear like a White Sox jersey or hat or something at Wrigley? Didn't he? When he rocked his White Sox out here, he never, like, denied his fandom, but he did it respectfully. Like, there's ways to do it. You don't need to be such a bandwagon person. I mean, Giuliani before the hair dye dripping down his face, when he. When the world loved him before, you know, things went weird because it just really was a Yankee sweet. And where you're from, it's not that serious. And I respected that. He was very die hard Yankees. All right, John of Florida, rapid fire. What's up, John A. Fellas, what's good? Good morning. Like the new time slot. Listen, you know me. I'm a big New England Boston fan of all the sports. And I got three boys, so I forced the Celtics and the in the Pats on them. Hockey and baseball, I let them figure it out. But the Celtics and Cats, big time. You know, I think that's the rule. I think we've come to some weird, hybrid conclusion that if your kids are growing up in a different city than you are, you could pick. You could be like, hey, kids, I get it. We we live in Dallas now. I grew up here. But there's one team. This our family is, and we're Mets. You know, like, maybe I tell my kids, hey, we're Mets fans. Football, basketball, hockey. Do you think. Make a. Make your decision, kids. Yeah. But Dad's holding strong. Yeah. That we are met. Because that's your part. They're going to make their minds up anyway, unfortunately. So, yeah, I think that's it. I want them to think about me when I'm an old guy, you know, when I'm in my 90s and I croak and the Mets finally win a World Series. The year after I die, I want them to think of me. Ron in South Dakota. What's up, Ron? Hey, this Ron. My situation is very easy. I was born and raised in Chicago. My son was born in Chicago, but we left there for the Twin Cities before he was 2 years old. Yet he's a Cubs fan due to me, but I give him the right to be a Twins fan also, since he's in the Twin Cities. And it's easy because Cubs is National League, Twins is American League. Now, if they was in the same league, same division or anything, we might have to go to court and get some papers to solve something on this, you know, but. But with the girl, it's different, too. Yeah. You know what's. What's interesting. Let me add one more rub community on, then we'll take the last couple. I see my son playing T ball, I coach his team, and when they get up to bat, I'll say things to them like, all right, come on, you'll get the, you know, get those hands back, you know, drive through the ball just like. And I think in my head, I have to use Dodgers, but come on. Who you Mookie Bets? Are you Freddie Freeman? Yo. All right, you're Ohtani. Let's see that stroke. You're not saying Polar Bear Pete. I'm not saying Polar Bear Pete because all the little boys. Polar Bear Pete. Yeah. Who's Soto? My. My son and his little friends on his T ball team. Other than you're not telling them. Come on. Just like Timmy Tuffle used to do. Come on. Just like Lenny Dykstra. Use those hips. Use those hips. Just like the Duffel Shuffle. You should show him Darrell Strawberry swing, man. It doesn't get better than that. But, you know, at some point, I don't want my kid to feel like the weirdo when everyone else is like, go, Dodgers. And he's like, yeah, guys, but I like the man it was that campaign we grew up with. Dare to be different, all right? Dare to be. It's not that big of a deal if he's a Mets fan, you know? And you can say, hey, it's not that big of a deal. On the flip side, I get it, because it is. It's fun, it's sports. But it's okay that he's the one kid that roots for the Dodgers or the Mets. See, now you got me confused. Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan Patrick show, weekdays at 9am Eastern, 6am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio.

Presented by Capital One, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. I'm Israel Gutierrez and I'm hosting a new podcast, Dub Dynasty, the story of how the Golden State warriors have dominated the NBA for over a decade. The Golden State warriors once again are NBA champions. From the building of the corps that included Klay Thompson and Draymond Green to one of the boldest coaching decisions in the history of the sport. I just felt like the biggest thing was to earn the trust of the players and let the players know that we were here to try to help them take the next step, not tear anything down. Today, the warriors dynasty remains alive in large part because of a scrawny 6 foot 2 hooper who everyone seems to love for what Steph has done for the game. He's certainly on that, like Mount Rushmore for guys that have changed it, come revisit this magical warriors ride. This is Dub Dynasty. The Dubs dynasty is still very much alive.

In 2020, a group of young women in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI fueled nightmare. Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts on my body parts that looked exactly like my own. I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream. It happened in Levittown, New York.

And the feeling is they're going to go with Travis Hunter. That's at least what what the speculation is. And the question then becomes what's the long term plan at quarterback? Well, listen, Andrew Barry, the GM there says it's a little too early to tell whether or not Deshaun Watson can play in 2025. I'd like to offer this up. Some would argue it's debatable whether or not he's played yet for the organization based on what has happened, suspensions, performance, etc. Etc. But nonetheless, now they've got a quarterback room that's got Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett. Joe Flacco was brought back. He won Comeback Player of the Year a couple of years ago. And so the discussion was being had with the Fan in Cleveland. He was talking with Ken Carmen and Anthony Lima about the development of quarterbacks in the NFL and had this to say. I do think it's important for young quarterbacks to be able to learn. You don't want to put a young quarterback in a football game before he's actually ready. You know, there's just so many things in the cycle in this league these days is just so quick. You want these guys to be ready. And I do think there's huge advantages to being able to sit back and make sure you get and gain that confidence and really, really learn the game and get the team surrounded in a good way so that you can go out there and have success. And I think that stuff happens naturally through like competition in different rooms. And you know, like the more competition you have and the more people you have competing, the more conversations come up and the more people learn. I think that's true in not just in sports but in every environment. You want good people in a room together that can push each other and then you'll get the most out of everybody. So that was Joe Flacco talking with the Fan in Cleveland about the development of quarterbacks there. I mean, well, yeah, he's, you know, 40 years old now or, you know, that's, that's what it sounds like. I mean, when you played for as long as he has 17 years, it's going to come off that way. And I think, look, going back to his experience, he was a guy who started, you know, as a rookie and you know, they had a lot of team success. He was good as a rookie. He continually got better and better and better. But, you know, when you go back and look at the course of his career, he had continually developed into the position after his first couple years to really be a guy that they could rely on in particular in the clutch. And I think what he probably learned from his looking back at his rookie year and even just playing for as long as he played is, you know, and this kind of happens, I think, to all of us as fathers like you, you look at your child or you look at younger generations and you're like, oh, I remember going through that, like this is probably what they don't know, or this is what they need to know in order to be able to do this the right way or be successful. And, and now again, playing as long as he has, he's seeing all that in real time as he's, you know, had to kind of come in and pinch hit, if you will, for a lot of, you know, younger guys, his stint in CLEVELAND Back in 2023, a couple of years ago, and even last year for Anthony Richardson. And I think he's very aware of how different things are now. You know, for quarterbacks coming into the league where they draft them, they play them and they rinse them out, right. They don't get any time to really sit, watch and learn unless you're a part of an organization that tries to do it right. Or if you've got a Hall of Fame guy sitting there in front of them, or at least a Pro bowl caliber guy like an Alex Smith or in the case of Green Bay, Aaron Rodgers and then Jordan Love. So that, that's really few and far between. Right. Most teams are hoping they could find a guy that's gonna be a Pro bowl caliber quarterback, let alone a Hall of Famer. And so I think his, you know, his words are wise in the sense of probably everything he's experienced as a starter, as a backup, as a guy who, look, he's made a ton of money at this point in time, his career, he's won a Super Bowl. He's, he's continually been able to prove that he can still do it. And so he doesn't need to. I think there's a desire of want to and at the same time being able to be a guy who's, he's got five kids, you know, he's, he's a family man, so he probably sees it from a lot different perspective than a lot of guys who play the position, especially a lot of the young guys. Dang. Five kids, he can sling that pill, huh? He's a quarterback. On and on. I think. I think he also said he was. It was kind of nice to get away from his kids for a little bit. He was kind of half joking, but he's. I think he just wanted a break. I think it's. I think it's a wise move to bring in Flaco for one reason and one reason alone. We could work from there. In my estimation, it's because you have someone that can stabilize an unstable environment as, as the quarterback. I think the deshaun Watson conversation has created so much, so much confusion, so much, you know, kind of, you know, is it conflict of how you want to feel about the situation? Is it, you know, what's next for the situation? There's so much surrounding desean Watson that has been a. An agent of deterioration for the Cleveland Browns to bring a. A rookie into that equation, whether they're prepared for it, mentally, emotionally, physically, to be able to handle it or not. It's really an unfair task and, and wait to. To put on the shoulders of a newly acquired, a newly hired talent for that position for your team. So, and knowing that, that that element is still there, like, whoever goes in has to accept the fact that desean Watson still has to be a part of the conversation in terms of whose team is this at that position. That would be the first thing that I would say would be the wisest move and bringing in a quarterback would be to bring in a guy like Joe Flacco who. Things like that are not going to bother him. He's already clearly shown you that it's not going to bother him. He's on borrowed time anyway. He's at the end of his career, and anything that he gets from this moment on is he's playing with house money. So he's going to go in there, he's familiar with the front office, he's familiar with guys that are in the locker room, and he's going to be a positive force to, to the players that are in there and the other people that are around, including the fan base. He's. He's a positive asset to add to your team and to add to your room. And hey, if Pickett proves out then and. And is able to learn some things from Flacco during this time and you get. Get a bonus and, and pick it developing if you take a draft pick somewhere, they got a few. They. They got the 33rd pick in the second round. That's a pretty. Pretty. Pretty good position to be in, to either be able to move up maybe a little bit in the second round or sit there and somebody's going to possibly fall to you at that 33rd pick. I think that for what it's worth, and you may not hear me say this often, I think Cleveland played this particular situation the right way in terms of a. A quarterback that can handle what's going on right now in Cleveland. When he talks about, like, developing young quarterbacks and, you know, how to. How teams go about it or how they should go about, still blows my mind that. And I know it's not an exact science and every player is different and all that, but it still blows my mind that you draft a guy, is almost. He's an investment. And I don't know a whole hell of a lot about investing, but I do know that it does take some time. And you don't want to, like, you know, manipulate your investment too soon because you got to let it grow a little bit. You got to let it. And Joe Flacco's point was like, man, I think we got to be a little bit more patient. But nowadays, they're just not. They want to know now, all right, can you play now? Well, who the hell knows? Like, it could be situation. It could be time. It could be another scenario altogether. Alex Smith took years before he developed. He went through, like, seven coaches or offensive coordinators, whatever it was, and finally he found something. Had they pulled the rug out early on, he would have never developed into a guy that, you know, brought Kansas City to where they were before Patrick Mahomes took. Took over and got him over the hump. You look at Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, man, if you would have talked to the Browns back then, the book was written on Baker Mayfield. And yet, for some reason, it just feels like, no, we gotta know now. We need an answer now. It's an investment. But no, no, we gotta have some answers. We've got to have some returns. You did with desean Watson. It's just like, I feel like Baker Mayfield might have done something. He flirted with the wrong person or something, man. And I look, I think. I think Rogers person, Somebody's. He. He upsets somebody. I think Rogers, you know, has kind of made this point before to where, like, man, there's. There's gotta be some trust. Like, some. Hey, look, we are trusting. You're making the decision and we're trusting this pick at this time and let's let it grow. Instead it's like, no, he can't play. He's gotta go like. And there's so many examples of that. And I don't get why in a, in a business like the NFL where you are dependent on everybody around you to be successful, why it all comes down to now that guy can't play well. No, like, you've got to produce the environment for him to play. And that seems to be lost in so many situations. So I keep going back to, to how different the game is at the NFL level from the college level. And I hope people understand this, that RPOs, they're not as capable or impactful at the NFL level. Because the rule that you could only have in an eligible lineman, for example, downfield only a yard in college, in high school, it's three. And honestly, it's more like three and a half because it's so hard for officials to be able to see it at that point in the play. I mean, when you, when you picture or think about an offensive lineman moving three yards downfield, that's a couple seconds into the play, right? He's moving through a gigantic human being across from. Even if he's uncovered moving up to the next level, he's still trying to get a sense for where that linebacker is going to be. Because don't get it twisted, it is a run play. All right? There's different types of pass protections. There's pass pro, there's run action pro where it's a pass play. The linemen know not to go downfield, but they are doing their best to block it like it's a run. And so their responsibilities in regards to pressure are off. They don't adjust anything they're doing. They are relying on the fake in a run action, pass protection to be able to take care of whatever is going on. And pre snap, if the quarterback sees something that he's like, this is a disaster. You get out of it, right? You audible out of it. But it's entirely different with an rpo. It is a run play. That quarterback has the opportunity to hand that football off high school, college level, even at the NFL level, the way it's taught. And then you're triggering or you're reading off one player on defense. And so the game has become so simplified at the high school to college level to where you have one of two choices. You're either keeping it and you're going to throw depending on what that defender does if he steps up to stop the run or if he stays back in coverage, you're going to hand the football off. And honestly, RPOS have replaced what used to be quick game, the three step game, where even in three step drop, it sounds somewhat simple, right? One, two, three, you're throwing the football, you're not really able to hitch up in the pocket because you're not getting any depth. You still had to read coverage. Even in a three step game, you had a one high or two high look, meaning if there was one safety middle of the field, you're working to your left. If there's two high safeties right, a split safety look, you're working to your right. Or there could be a three by one set where you're checking your backside singled up route. If you like, you take it. If not, you're probably working a quick progression to the other side. So that used to be like the simplest form of passing back when I was young, back when a lot of quarterbacks were growing up through an era and a time where you used to play under center a little bit more or even if you were in shotgun, that was part of the quick game. The RPO game has essentially replaced that because you get the ability to put the defense in conflict much more because there's that run pass conflict of reading that, that overhang defender or whoever, whatever defender it is to decide if you want to throw or run the football. And if you think about what three step passing game was, it was like a glorified handoff. It was a higher percentage pass that you're going to be able to complete and not get a big gain, but move the sticks or at least get enough of a game where it puts you in third and manageable or you're back on track if you happen to take a loss on first down. And so you're back in third and manageable. Right. You know, in those instances. So to me, the, the subtle differences in how the game is taught at high school, to college and now to the NFL is one of those things that like, it takes time and like you're making these decisions in seconds. 1, 1,000, 2, 1,000, ball's got to be out and you've got all these other things you have to be worried about. It's not really that way at a lot of the colleges, even with some NFL, you know, coaches that are down at that level or even what they're asking of, you know, what they're doing. And it's why the NFL has had to adapt a lot of their offensive scheme to what these quarterbacks are accustomed to doing because they don't have the time to develop and no one has the patience anymore to see if they can develop into being that guy. They have to be able to show it in their rookie year. Otherwise everyone throws them the wayside. That's weird, man. It's unfortunate for these guys that just get lumped in. Like can think about Kenny Pickett. What's he on his third team? Third team. He just got drafted. He just got traded. He's traded twice. It's on his third team like he just got into the league like not that long ago. We were at that draft in Vegas when he was, when he was selected and just the books apparently already written.
