00:00and we get the Drake May that was the player of the month in October
00:05and not the guy that we saw on Sundays.
00:08He's on pace for, what, 20 interceptions?
00:11Yeah.
00:11He's hiding for the lead league right now.
00:13Yeah, so you want to make sure.
00:14You don't want this year to be like a questioning year.
00:18It was weird because it started off like, all right, this guy's going back.
00:23Then all of a sudden he's like, oh, wow, yesterday's price is not today's price.
00:28And then now you're back to like, oh, like, all right, where is he going to go back
00:33and you're going to be like after this season, like forget about a contract.
00:36You're going to be like, what's he going to look like now?
00:40We need to see him next year.
00:41Does he bounce back from his, you know, this year of being not his best year?
00:47Well, Shine was very offended and I understand why when Nick Costos was suggesting
00:53that Drake may struggle when it comes to beating good teams.
00:58And so I think that's going to be, that's going to be the question that he asked
01:01to answer and he could do that.
01:02He can do that on Sunday.
01:05So that's the thing that's going to break because I think obviously from a
01:10national perspective, he is like overly scrutinized versus like Caleb Williams.
01:17Like I feel like Caleb Williams kind of gets a pass nationally for whatever
01:21reason.
01:22Um, so that's going to be the thing with Drake may, if he was hyped up, Wiggy,
01:27everybody wants to be right on their priors.
01:29It's always the way that it is.
01:30And it's probably why I defend Drake so much.
01:32And you guys give me crap for it all the time.
01:34Cause I was, you know, I've been following him since his junior year at UNC.
01:37So like, that's just, yeah, exactly.
01:39People forget.
01:39So yeah, a lot of times people just want to be right about their priors and I get it.
01:42But at the same time, like I think Drake may will bounce back from this.
01:46Does he get any kind of a pass on this season?
01:50Depending on what he doesn't get out of AJ Brown.
01:53Like, I mean, I, from a weapons perspective, do you make any allowance there
01:57whatsoever?
01:58I would, I, you know, and this is, this was my alternative lead this morning that
02:03I had and I wrote some numbers down and my alternative lead was, and I, and I
02:10wonder if they could go back and do it.
02:11Maybe they think about it.
02:13You should have went after George Pickens.
02:16And if you're going to give up a first round draft pick, he's 25 years old.
02:20Last year, he had 14, over 1400 yards and nine touchdowns this year with CD
02:25Lamb being back.
02:26He's got 62 catches, 533 yards more than your leading receiver, which is pop
02:33Douglas.
02:34And when you look at the AJ Brown situation and I get it, I was on the AJ Brown
02:39train when they traded for him.
02:41But I also remember going, well, if I could choose between George Pickens and
02:45AJ Brown, I would probably go George Pickens because he's younger and he's a
02:49legitimate, deep, deep threat.
02:52But, and I wonder if the Patriots, you know, like if you got some truth serum into
02:58them, would they go, ah, maybe we should have looked into Pickens or even maybe Jalen
03:06Waddell.
03:06Well, I also, I wonder, same truth serum, what they would say about Steph Diggs.
03:13You got a touchdown from Steph Diggs last night.
03:16I mean, I, well, I don't know why there was so much interest in Romeo Dobbs.
03:21And I, I, especially because he was more expensive and you know, they clearly miss
03:28whatever, whoever Mike Vrabel is alluding to today, he's looking for a dog, right?
03:34He's looking for a guy that wants to be there, wants to be on the, has there ever been a
03:37player that defines that better than Steph Diggs on the field?
03:40No, like everything you're talking about lacking is what that guy possessed.
03:45And he possessed it, elevating the quarterback to a point where he was the runner up in
03:49the MVP vote.
03:51And I don't think that this is going to impact Drake May's contract at the end of
03:55the year.
03:55You watch JJ McCarthy.
03:57You watch the quarterbacks.
03:59You watch what the Vikings just had to give up to get Kirk Cousins at the end of his
04:02career.
04:03Oh, he's still going to get paid.
04:04He's going to make 70 plus million.
04:06No, absolutely.
04:08Without a doubt.
04:08If he's a free agent, what do you think he's making?
04:10All teams, that's a free agent.
04:12But if you're talking, if he throws 20 interceptions and let's say he throws 30
04:17touchdowns, they're not giving him $70 million a year.
04:23I think they will.
04:24No, there's no way.
04:25The Patriots might not, but I'm saying that's what he will get.
04:28I don't think that there's a doubt.
04:29Where's he going to get it from though?
04:31Maybe not this year.
04:32Okay.
04:32I'm saying as a general rule, Drake May as a franchise quarterback will not be dinged
04:37long-term in the event that he has a bad season.
04:39No, but I'm not saying that, but he could go for making, you know, he's going to be
04:43somewhere in the $55 million a year range salary versus if he continued to play at the level
04:50what we thought he was playing to being one of those guys that could be $68, $70 million
04:55a year.
04:56But if he throws 20 interceptions and he has 30 touchdowns, they're not giving him $70
05:01million.
05:01They're going to give him more like $55, $56, maybe $57.
05:04I will bet breakfast today that Drake May signs for over $60 million this offseason.
05:11Well, that's not fair.
05:12I brought blueberries and pineapples, so I don't get anything.
05:16Well, how's the papaya or the poop?
05:17Oh, I have papaya at home.
05:19I'm ready.
05:20It takes a lot of prep.
05:22You got to cut it.
05:22You got to remove all the seeds.
05:24It gets delivered to your door, but you do have to cut it.
05:26That is hard.
05:27It's a lot of work on the papaya.
05:31Will you give us an update after Dr. Diana assesses you today?
05:35Yeah.
05:37I'm scheduled for Monday, but I'm going to try to see if I can get her to get me in
05:40there today.
05:41Oh, we can't go through the whole weekend.
05:44I mean, it's fine.
05:45It'll be fine.
05:47You found it.
05:47People are coming at me saying, as soon as I turned 60, my body fell apart.
05:52Yeah.
05:53But, I mean, it's kind of been falling apart for quite some time.
05:56It was just convenient timing on the birthday, I think.
06:00Really?
06:01Yeah.
06:02Yeah.
06:02I don't know.
06:03The back is worrisome.
06:05I mean, who needs a back?
06:07Really?
06:08It's like, who needs thumbs?
06:11I can do the show at home, lying in a bed if I need to.
06:15Right.
06:16You sound almost too young.
06:18Yeah.
06:19Got it.
06:20Did anybody else happen to see Steph Diggs last night?
06:24That nice long touchdown?
06:25Boy, why can't we get players like that?
06:29Yeah.
06:30Yeah.
06:31Well, we did get two players, or at least one, we thought, and A.J. Brown.
06:35Because I told you, you know, George Pickens was my alternate lead, but I was happy when
06:40they got A.J. Brown.
06:41I didn't expect this coming.
06:42No, we all thought it was going to be great.
06:43Yeah.
06:45And I'm guessing they did, too, because they were the only team that was really interested
06:48in him.
06:49So I, he plays on Sunday, you think?
06:54I mean, I would think so.
06:57If you're taking him there, you got him.
07:00Mike Rabel said, we're interested in players that are trying to get themselves in, not trying
07:05to get themselves out.
07:06So hopefully that's A.J. Brown.
07:09Was there any, like, whispers of, or not whispers, but did they say anything of whether
07:14or not he practiced yesterday?
07:16Limited.
07:16So he was limited again?
07:18Yep.
07:19I would think that if you're taking him there, you're seeing how he is, and I would
07:23expect he plays.
07:25I hope he does.
07:27I would, too, if he's healthy to go.
07:30But if he doesn't play, now why don't you continue the concern level that continues to
07:33rise?
07:34You miss out the chance to play some original German beer, mocha music, man, you stink.
07:41Yeah, no Oompa Loompa band.
07:43I mean, the Oompa Loompa bands are huge over there.
07:47Yeah, I could have.
07:47From Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory?
07:52That is Oompa Loompa.
07:52Oompa Loompa is what Greg's talking about.
07:54He's saying Oompa Loompa, though, which is Willy Wonka.
07:57Not the Oompa Loompas.
07:58Okay, so it's called the Oompa Pa.
08:00Oompa Pa.
08:00Oompa Pa.
08:01I was like, oh, they were German?
08:06Right, yeah.
08:07Well, you've seen them before.
08:08Like, they were actually greeting the players when they got off the plane in Munich.
08:13So they have.
08:13The Oompa Loompas?
08:14No, the Oompa Pa band.
08:18Like, they have the hats on.
08:19Okay, yeah, the little hats on.
08:20The Lederhosen.
08:22So it's not the same thing.
08:23Okay.
08:24It's what they call the German.
08:27With the little feather in it, right?
08:28Yes.
08:29It got a little confusing, though.
08:30Yes.
08:31A little feather in the hat.
08:31The Next Hill Note is going to be criticizing me for not playing Wagner.
08:34Like, it was recommended on the text slide.
