winning a national
championship. And after the game Odell, Beckham jr. Gave
Joe Borough, as Borough said real money.
Now, Joe Borough would like the Bangles to maybe give some real
money to Odell Beckham jr.
How about this Joe burrow? Instagram? My spidey-sense is
starting to tingle a little bit
little bit obj. The one
hey, last year the longer obj lingered on Market, the more we
started to say and we were saying it before anybody. I'm
not, I am Pat
ourselves on the back, so we were sent for anybody. If he
lingers long enough, the Rams are going to make a run at him,
not the Rams, they can't afford a okay? Right now you did. That
was all you Mike. You're the one who's now at first. Now
it's our show. It's we, and now
the longer the Rams, let him linger. The longer the land,
the Rams play this. Somebody else is going to show up. We've
talked about
the possibility of the Box. The Vikings we're talking about the
Packers yesterday, when Mi Simmons who got up it, pre for
am, his time to do the shows how the entomology a, but we
didn't talk about the Bangles. Yeah, man. It feels a little
crowded there on that offense for the Bengals, but hey,
the more the
merrier, the more, the merrier. And, you know, it, you know, it
is it that much more crowded than it was when he they
designed them with the Rams last year, you know.
Fortunately for obj unfortunately for Robert Woods,
he got hurt and then that it really
made sense. This. But you know, yeah, maybe a hair more
crowded. But again, Mike, we discussed this last week and
I think this is the type of
situation to me. That's perfect for Odell Beckham jr.
You know? And yeah we sign you to a team, you know. And hey
we're The Bangles. We don't need you right now.
Take your time, get healthy.
Hey, help our two young receivers out, to Jamar tasty
Higgins because everywhere you go receivers. Literally eat out
of your hands like little baby birds and and you can mentor
them that way. And then, hey, when your time to go,
we'll work in slowly
and again, you know, more than likely, one of these guys might
get banged up Miss a few weeks here and there. Whatever blah,
blah blah. So, I don't think it's shocking. And from a guy
like Zach Taylor who?
Yes, was with the Rams and Sean McVeigh,
maybe they're going to change their approach there and
Cincinnati a little bit. Be interesting to see
if your auto Beckham jr.
And the last two times you've played the Bengals, you've torn
ACL. That's a very good point. Right, you're right, you're
right that we can't go there at steer, right? Last team to play
for although although
if you play for the Bengals,
the chances of tearing your ACL, the next time you play
against the Bengals a little tea, right? You're right,
you're right. So maybe that you could go either way there,
I don't know, but it makes sense. At least, at least from
everything else we talked about.
Yeah, that might scare me a little bit though. You're
right. That's it. Doesn't I don't know if it's good luck or
bad luck to be on the Bangles of your obj
yesterday. Ram, CEO. Kevin. Dem off said, he's He's optimistic
about Odell Beckham jr. Returning to the Rams and
anyone in St. Louis would react to that by say anything. That
guy says, is a lie. So the opposite must be true
because Dem off was at the heart of the lies that were
told. And sorry lies were told to the folks in St. Louis to
get them to keep buying tickets and merchandise and believing
the team was going to be there. Once they bought land in
Southern California to build, that Swanky new stadium. So
Dem off is optimistic. McVeigh is perpetually.
Glass half full?
Fires on the Rams, want him back. Cooper cup keeps talking
about it. They do some point. You just have to do it.
Stafford's been paid. Yeah. Aaron Donald's been paid cups
been paid. I know obj. Still rehabbing that torn ACL, but
all it takes is one of the other 31 teams
to say it's fine with us.
If we are paying you
exclusively to get yourself healthy, we'll get you on
the field. When you're ready to go, will pass you on a physical for
our purposes. We'll pay you
your Signing bonus. We welcome you in. We show you a love. We
want you to be here. We support you fully as you continue to
come back from this
horrific and unfair and fluke injury that you suffered. When
you are on your way to be in the Super Bowl. Fifty, six MVP.
The Bengals saw it, it makes sense for the Bengals to be
interested. They saw what he was doing
in the most important game of the year,
the best offensive player on the field for the Rams before
his ACL tour. So it really doesn't surprise me that
the Bangles would be interested beyond the Oh BJ. Joe burrow
LSU connection, right? The Bengals should be saying. Yeah,
look, hey, we had a game plan and this guy.
Yeah, this guy was screwing it all up. No doubt. Yeah. Yeah.
He still has those special capabilities. I don't think
there's any doubt. And yeah, it's to ACL tears. That's it's
a little scary but he's at an age still where
I go I don't think it's going to be,
you know,
a career-ender or anything like that as far as talking about
that. So he's a hard worker, he does all the things he needs to
rehab wise.
Sighs. So that's where it makes sense. But I do feel like with
the Rams when they I know they are maybe a little overly
positive, but when they start to all talk, I feel like
it usually happens. They know,
you know, I think we've been in some other off Seasons where,
you know, again there wasn't a table. We don't know what's
going to happen with Todd Gurley there. They kind of were
like there. We didn't hear anything. I feel like when you
don't hear anything,
they probably don't want you back when they talk and do all
this. And then like, you talked about, I mean, everybody's
Comments about they want OBG bet LBJ back Stafford. Aaron
dolls Cooper cup everybody
to wear it just seems like
it makes to set a
too much sense and I just think it's inevitable when it was all
said and done
and look it's I think the Rams better wake up and get this
done because I think somebody else there's too many other
teams out there, the recognize what he can do,
somebody else is going to do it. So your assignment yesterday
entailed a trip to Cincinnati to hang out with Joe Borough
interview coming. Um next week on Chris Simms. Unbuttoned
everybody. Check that out. I know I will
what was your big takeaway
from hanging out with Joe burrow?
Oh, well, first off, it's hot as hell there. Let me just say
that. I mean this is what I'm sitting out there. I you just
saw me rubbing my forehead. I'm sweaty as hell and sweating
through my shirt. The guy doesn't have like
one drop coming off him. So Joe Cool was like really cool.
Don't wear black in the summertime Johnny Cash. Well,
I know but all the Blackwell look like you're going to a funeral.
I was afraid if I were a lighter color. Would have like,
sweat and armpit stains everywhere. So I figured like
the black might help out but
he was awesome to talk to,
you could tell he's so into every little Nuance in
the football game and has this unique way,
it's really hard to describe, like
it's a cocky humbleness. Does that make sense? There is a
talk to him. I've talked to him on the phone 67 times, and he
just says, what he believes, right? And there's no, A edge
to it. Exactly. There's no jerk to exactly. Jesus says it.
That's his truth is his truth and he speaks exactly right.
He's not looking to frame a story or a
image or anything that way
and has. He's just very easy to talk to. And
like you said, it's honest, it's open,
you know, I don't feel like there's any agendas there
and he's not looking for attention or anything like
that, but at the same time, when he walks in the room,
I mean, he's Joe burrow and he's the coolest guy in the room.
You could tell that just walking around the facility
yesterday,
for sure. I mean again, it's not even saw him. Mr. Brown, he
walking around the field, he saw Joe burrow. They went over,
have a conversation for a few minutes.
He's changed that organization. He's got a special way about
him. Like, we've seen some of these young star quarterbacks
do where he's gone there and
try to get him, not to associate with you
pot. He sure you want to talk to him. Yeah, be careful. He's
gonna give you a different. Kind of cigar gonna be, like,
a good cigar, but you don't want that one. Yeah, we show
the picture again. I'm curious about some oh my God, I'm
sweating. I'm just
I'm curious about multiple things. Yeah, seriously first
of all, are you on your tiptoes? No, not at all. Okay,
you know me, I'm not to do that because you are a giant
exactly.
Second of all it's kind of like a before after it's almost like
a father-son picture, I don't know. He's he looks really
young. You do you? You look like, you just finished
the spleen game. Like, we need Jake Delhomme to walk into this
Frame and say, you know, look so good. Yeah, they hate. He
kicked your ass. Yesterday
it kicked my ass, it really did and we were out there for
a while. So it's through the started to really pour out of
me you know, at the end of the conversation where I could not
control it but Mike
I was hot it was hot in this are I because yeah that far
away hot and it was hot. Yes really hot. Yes. Yo my gosh it
was I was not ready for it. We haven't had hot days like that
up in the Northeast yet so I was like not conditioned to it
but
you know again I'm not trying to
there was I came home to your point a little bit
and I went I don't know the guy reminds
Me of myself in a lot of ways. He's not as jerky, and he's
more professional and button-up than I was at that age for
sure.
But you know again, you know quarterbacks I don't think we
all We All Fall not too far from the tree but man I really
enjoyed it and
he really got into some Nuance with me
about his mechanics and his thought process
and some of the trials and tribulations of his life and
his career that were really cool so hopefully people will
enjoy it on the podcast next week when he's got a good
personality he's got an ash.
Natural charm. And I think during
your time with the Buccaneers, first of all, John Green's
personality took over the whole team sucked, all the oxygen out
of the room. So it was hard to really get a feel for how you
really were, and who you really were. And the Buccaneers were
kind of in that post. Super Bowl
decline. They weren't the flashy team that everyone was
paying attention to, and you were in the process of coming
into your own when the spleen situation happened. But
Burrows. Got that. Look, he's still he benefits from
the grown-up. Macaulay Culkin, go down alone, you maybe more.
Or like right Macaulay? Culkin is an adult, then Macaulay
Culkin as an adult looks and and he keyed in that that
allows him that gives him that ability to say, whatever he
wants. Because he doesn't,
he looks like an overgrown kid. He just does, he is and he
doesn't, he doesn't shy away from it. He doesn't want
attention. He talks about going to. I don't go out to
restaurants because I don't want to sit there and have
people watching me
eat, you know, do you think Tony pees on my life? Yeah, he
talks about that. But, you know, I would I loved about To
Mike as he shared like, you know,
he showed that he had a life a little bit,
you know, sometimes I feel like you talk about these
quarterbacks and they act like I don't do anything but watch
film all week long. I do nothing else except sleep and
watch film and they try to like, portray that image
and he was cool. And the fact where he's like, you know,
Monday, I come in here and watch film and do all that. But
then, after that's over, I get away from football a little bit
and he's I place video games is how I keep in contact
with some of my old friends, we get on
video games, I put on the headset, we play for a little
while and I get to talk to him and catch up that way. And
I again to me,
I love that Honesty to just being like, Oh yeah, I don't
forget, I am a normal human being here as well and I think
that's why guys on the team. Love them as well. It's not
always robot quarterback. I got to do
this and eat a protein shake and go throw footballs.
He's willing to hang out and, you know, play video games and
listen to hip-hop music and be one of the guys. And that, of
course, goes over great with the team.
So basically you're saying he is not like a 44 year-old
cyborg who is the current quarterback in the team? Used
to play? Well yeah right it's easily got a little more
personality doing that way. Although although Brady's up
more than people realize. Hello.
The robot has been reprogrammed percent to pretend to be alive,
boy. I will say that you're funny. He has, he's high, he's
kind of hilarious on
on social media right now. Tom Brady for sure. But yeah, burrow
Burrows is cool as they come and he's change.org.
Ization and to your point, he's got that like, Steph Curry.
Patrick Mahomes million-dollar smile where you're right. It's
hard to really think a bad thought about them. It doesn't
seem like he ever had, they ever have bad thoughts in their
brain
and kids just gravitate towards them,
because they're just like, whoa. He's looks like he's just
a bigger kid to me. So I like this guy playing awesome
quarterback football. Yeah, that's where he's, you know,
I think got a magical way about him.
Well, I think it makes it hard for the fans of the team.
Compete directly with the Bangles specifically. They have
three teams in the AFC North Steelers Browns Ravens to hate
the guy. Yeah. You want to hate the quarterback of one of your
arch Rivals. What, what do you find about, Joe? It's kind of
like my home's to, and chocolatey certain extent. So
what is their name hate about these guy? That's one of the,
that's one of the sneaky
qualities of this new age of quarterback, right? I'll throw
Lamar Jackson in there to what's there to hate like
Justin Bieber that edge where you You. Yeah, there's
something where you who are you? Yeah, he's so annoying
when he does that right, you're right. They don't they don't
have that they don't now, maybe they will, if they continue to
win and they're on our TV screen all the time and we'll
get mul find somehow to gets some way to get sick of them.
But you're right. They don't have that, you know,
that little attitude about them or anything there that makes
you turned off by their actions at all.
You know, before we go to break, I'm thinking of the old
Phil Simms workout video. We have I think potentially
the Chris
This weight loss approach wear all black on a hot day and
since all my gosh, probably lose 15 pounds.
Oh my gosh. I yeah, I was, I was Crush. I mean, I
then had her, like, run to the airport and catch the flight,
right? Throw your hamburger. What's that? No, no hamburgers
yesterday we played it safe.
We didn't touch anything there.
All right. There is a big fish. Yeah,
bleep nuts. That's Billy. Yes,
Pete. Peter's up Reggie Jackson somebody 57 and your Williams
Reggie Williams, right? And your Todd Christensen and and
then I'm just a female I guess that's so I've been
portrayed Adam sorry.
