00:00it was a quiet week of otas i was just thinking about that just before i went to i was
00:05trying to
00:05like think of like the i know you were too distracted by the cabs i thought it was a big
00:09week of otas how so we got miles news and all sorts of inventory out of that miles we had
00:15what
00:16the miles schrager mentioned us on national television which we appreciate the miles news
00:20was uh i haven't met him yet that's pretty big news it is it's not like miles hasn't been in
00:27town
00:29miles has been because of calves games miles has been in town like what four or five times
00:34in the time since munkin's been hired and he hasn't been there at all i think listen is that not
00:38news
00:38this has been lima's super bowl he's made this a story there's like six different times i mean and
00:44i've been with him the entire you guys you guys are doing a great job at constructing a story about
00:49this and it's awesome it's not constructing a story you don't think it's weird he's been in town it's
00:52not as if like this isn't documented and he's just like gone in asia or somewhere and he's just he's
00:57off traveling and doing different things you said instead of like specifically japan or you just
01:02he's off in the asian continent a lot of asia just a lot of different parts of asia and so
01:08it's as if
01:09he's gone and he's doing the donovan mitchell thing where he lived on uh on coco's tour bus for a
01:14month and he's like can't get a hold of him don't know what's gonna happen it's not that he's been
01:18around he's been in cleveland he's been here we've seen him publicly out and about he can't make his way
01:23to baria to stop over and say oh hey hey todd congratulations on being the head coach he never
01:28goes to otas he might not ever go to otas but he could at least go to the building and
01:33say how you
01:34doing but why you're gonna it's not like he's not gonna spend enough time with him oh i'm not trying
01:38to be obtuse here i think it's a miss i think it's a i think it's a big miss uh
01:41because it's been a very
01:42public thing people like me and lima have talked about it like the idea that the idea that you haven't
01:47gone over and at least given your blessing as the face of the franchise as the future hall of
01:51famer that you are you haven't gone over and said this isn't a backup left tackle but this is this
01:56is your your best player on your team by virtue of him being here isn't that gonna be the like
02:02hey
02:03i'm here i'm gonna play for you this year isn't that gonna be enough that's well that's what he
02:08would be signaling if he came over and told todd munkin he's gonna already have to do it for
02:11mandatories coming up in was it two weeks hey we'll see if he shows up i there's no way he's
02:17not gonna
02:17show up there's no way he's not gonna i don't know pro football talk yesterday had the whole
02:21write-up about him already missing it wasn't even for you it was one of his lackeys had the
02:26whole write-up i don't mean to call him lack of chat gpt i just don't remember which one it
02:30was
02:30and it wasn't our buddy miles simmons yeah but the point is they talked about how he missed his
02:34million dollar bonus and all this other stuff that's happening within this contract like
02:38all right all right i didn't know miles just threw away money like that okay pro football talk
02:42is batting about a hundred we'll see on uh stories you don't think it's they're the michael martinez
02:47of uh you can't acknowledge you can't acknowledge it's a little weird that he's been in cleveland as
02:52often as he has this off season and he hasn't made a 20 minute drive no it's weird but it's
02:56par for the course for miles that's all we're saying par for the course for miles that's all
02:59we're saying it's just a little weird but that's but we're saying the same thing it miles is a weird
03:04dude miles is like he he is a renaissance man he doesn't do things the way that traditionally you'd
03:12want the best player in your football team to do and so i get there's nothing that has happened
03:17to this point that has been different than what i would expect on top of the fact there's been two
03:22things there what's that so the convergence of not only miles acting a little weird as we both
03:26admitted also then the idea that munkin is very publicly disgruntled about being asked this question
03:32well yeah because because nothing's changed by the way and i think that's just todd munkin trying to
03:37shut down the question i think he's just trying to intimidate people oh well oh you think it's
03:41intimidation tactic oh yeah oh that's why every time he gets asked about the question
03:45he or asked about the quarterbacks he has like an answer to it i mean he's got gripes about
03:49quarterbacks as you mentioned he's got gripes about miles garrett he's got great there's a lot
03:53of things that he just wants to shut down and act as if they'll go away yeah that's that's a
03:56football
03:56it's not how this works yeah but that's how football guys do it i agree with you that is how
04:00football guys do this and and it's the part of the job that they it's weird because munkin comes in
04:04the studio comes and hangs out with ken and anthony and does this whole thing about like i know you
04:08guys are
04:08part of the big picture of all this and thank you so much i said you we wouldn't make all
04:13the
04:13money we do without you and then he turns around and is like shocked that a quarterback competition
04:17is going to bring questions uh i don't think he's shocked shocked we're going to ask about or
04:21things he can at least intimidate to get us to stop asking about miles garrett that's not gonna happen
04:25yep but it's worth trying i guess if you're todd you've got such a understanding of what the media
04:31can do and doesn't do within the nfl ecosystem to think that at any stretch of this uh all of
04:38a sudden
04:38you're going to be able to intimidate people out of asking hey maybe maybe we'll dial back on the
04:42miles garrett and chador sanders questions that's just not it's not gonna happen i watched a coach
04:47get mad at the media for asking about an injury that a player totally had ron rivera i used to
04:53say
04:53the foot is such in carolina all the time because it was clear uh it was on thursday night game
04:59cam
04:59hurt his foot it was apparent that he was dog bleeped the rest of the game and he was asked
05:03about it
05:04the most the best reporter in town said is the foot and then ron said the foot is not such
05:10and it
05:11became a whole thing because they don't want to talk about they want to minimize every story
05:15i think i listen i get it miles i don't see anything that this just isn't miles being miles
05:23i mean we both admitted it's weird and like that idea is weird that's enough of it that's where we
05:28got to bridge the gap and it's funny maybe we just need to be just like a cartoon character just
05:32hit over the head enough times of the idea that miles is weird and miles is different so we have
05:37to treat it as such i'm open to that understanding but i i i think he's also intentional in his
05:44own
05:44ways and i think if he he knows more than anyone that if he wanted to have this story go
05:49away he
05:50could do it so easily totally so quickly and him choosing not to continues on the story that we have
05:57yeah miles likes to do this stuff though miles likes to make i don't want to say make people
06:02uncomfortable but it does make people uncomfortable miles doesn't care if these stories linger because
06:07he's not in town when they do linger like do you think miles gives a rip that mike florio's lackey
06:13or
06:13chat gpt whatever they use over there i don't think he's using chat gpt what i you could use a
06:18lot
06:18of there's a lot of writing i think florio would have a big uh a big deal about you accusing
06:22him of
06:22that yeah i'm sure mike would yeah i think yeah yeah he's the guy that's uh oh i own anti
06:28uh ai in
06:29about two years it's gonna be half your staff come on uh i'm not saying that in a good way
06:33by the way
06:34i'm just saying that's where this is going but uh but for now you can die on that hill until
06:38it you
06:38know starts to cost you money um now being said but you think my you think miles gives a rip
06:43yeah i bet
06:43you miles thinks some of this stuff is funny i bet you there's a little bit of aaron rogers to
06:49miles
06:49that miles thinks this stuff is funny and i bet you there's a part of miles that doesn't mind
06:55making the browns twist in the wind because a year ago they didn't trade him and they didn't hire
06:59the guy who wanted as a head coach in january you you say aaron rogers i always thought more
07:04lebron james uh when it came to miles i always thought you know lebron would just he would just
07:07have these stories at certain parts of the offseason and even during the season and it was like you're
07:11just you just want people to talk about you right now and i get it i understand it that that
07:15i do feel
07:16like is a miles trait there's no there's no doubt about that but yeah it's been a pretty big story
07:21is there a difference between lebron and aaron i think there is lebron and aaron yeah like i i think
07:26i i one's the greatest of all time and one is maybe not better than la top five quarterback all
07:33time yeah will bond yeah the amount of mvps he's got yeah he's he's probably right around number
07:40five or six i've been sitting on this take for a while aaron rogers is uh is not the physical
07:45quarterback that fran tarkenton was i'm just gonna mention quarterbacks from 40 years ago because
07:49that's my frame of reference great take will bond let's get him on first take is that what he said
07:55yeah you know he said john elway oh okay well he's a great quarterback but he's no john elway
08:00yeah you know he's no ya tittle that's what i've been saying you know i gotta tell you i watched
08:05aaron play and i thought auto graham could have done it better was it rick flair that got really mad
08:11rick flair's just i think i'm really mad on aaron rogers behalf yeah rick flair just in general
08:17we're he took will bond to the woodshed just like you did you know those last five years of hulk
08:22hogan
08:22where we just had a lot of really uncomfortable moments and we were like could you just not hulkster
08:26just not yeah yeah we're there with rick flair but it's been like a decade like somehow rick is i've
08:34never seen a person just terminally unhinged the way rick flair appears to be on social media i'm hoping
08:40that means that's not how he is in real life he is just man's on neptune i mean i feel
08:45like i just
08:46see tiktok videos of him at random bars and he's just he's just screaming his patented you know woo
08:51thing and then that's it i was going to do the woo and i decided not to do the woo
08:55you
