Postgame Show: And I Think That Would Be Fair

[0] You're listening to Draft King's Network.

[1] I can't hear Greg.

[2] Is that on purpose?

[3] They sabotage me at every turn, Mina.

[4] Greg, they sabotaged me too.

[5] I don't know.

[6] We should unionize against them.

[7] It could have been more obvious.

[8] How could it have been any more obvious what I was doing to Greg Cody?

[9] I'm pointing at the clock.

[10] I'm theatrically.

[11] Let's end the show.

[12] Sabotage.

[13] Okay.

[14] I mean, how do I argue with that?

[15] Sorry for me thinking old people should be treated with a little more respect around here.

[16] Thank you, Ageny over here.

[17] Thank you, Mina.

[18] Seriously, it's ridiculous.

[19] Ageism running rampant throughout the studio.

[20] Ridiculous.

[21] Come on.

[22] You were so interested in every word that means.

[23] I was jealous.

[24] I'm looking at you.

[25] First of all.

[26] Let's get into it.

[27] Dolphins talk.

[28] Dolphins talk.

[29] I respect Mina's opinion on All Matters NFL.

[30] She's better than anybody else in NFL analysis, in my opinion.

[31] And she's talking about a subject that's very interesting to me because obviously Tua's contract mess down here is the biggest story in town.

[32] And so, yeah, I was very interested in her take.

[33] Mina, what are you looking forward to here over the next month of us now galloping toward the NFL football season?

[34] Like, what are the storylines that are most interesting to you?

[35] Other than the continued procrastination of the Dallas Cowboysman, considering any of their star players, which I do find interesting.

[36] I know people get a little bit tired of Cowboys talk, but that I find inexplicable and fascinating.

[37] And, yeah, that's very odd.

[38] There's a couple legitimate quarterback competitions, notably Jess's Steelers.

[39] Let's talk about it.

[40] I think that has some juice.

[41] I know Fields v. Wilson might not be the sexiest of sentences in some people's eyes.

[42] But I'm really interested in seeing what happens because you have a quarterback who, you know, is coming off of an improved performance in Denver, but I think we all agree has a lower ceiling than fields, but a higher floor perhaps than fields.

[43] And I'm interested in seeing how that plays out.

[44] I am too.

[45] And, Kmeena, just to change the subject slightly, are you as surprised as me that the Giants' off -season hard knocks is, like, actually pretty good?

[46] Yes, completely.

[47] The first few, I was like, well, first of all, you know, Hard Knocks now that the teams have oversight over it, I've gotten kind of conditioned to not expecting anything particularly juicy.

[48] And the fact that so much juicy content has come out of this one, I think I've learned more about how front offices operate from this series, pardon me, of Hard Knocks, than anything I've ever seen in NFL media.

[49] I find it fascinating.

[50] Why would the Giants sign off on some of those things that make them look like that when they're negotiating with?

[51] Saquan Barkley.

[52] But do you think they made, they look, they came across poorly?

[53] I thought they came across actually like really well.

[54] And I thought Saquan also said like, yeah, that's pretty much how it went down, right?

[55] He came across well too.

[56] I saw that he didn't know he was being recorded, he said somewhere, which that's a little weird.

[57] One party state though, I think.

[58] Well, he came off well.

[59] So I don't, like maybe he's upset about it.

[60] I can see why.

[61] But he came off.

[62] I thought incredibly well.

[63] The phone call between Joe Shane and him where he says, you know, circle back to us.

[64] So obviously not going to happen.

[65] But I thought it came across as pretty humane.

[66] I'm not sure why what else people would have expected from that conversation.

[67] What did you see in there that you were learning?

[68] You felt like you were learning because I, the only reason I figured that they wouldn't show any of that is just because that kind of stuff typically.

[69] no matter how the inner workings of business, I don't think the Giants necessarily want other people to see that, that they okayed that was surprising to me. I loved all of the stuff from the combat, the interviews that they've had with players that they've shown because I think you really get to see, one, how smart these prospects are and everything that it goes into evaluating because it's so hard to assess college players, players, quarterbacks in particular, but any of them on the mental side of things.

[70] And, you know, we've seen over the years, like tests like the Wonderlich are devalued because they don't really, they're not really predictive.

[71] And so there's, I think one of the biggest mysteries is how do NFL teams look at a player and say, does he study?

[72] Can he get better?

[73] Can you, you know, see the field well?

[74] How smart is he?

[75] And I think getting a little bit of a glimpse into that was fascinating.

[76] Did you also think that Sam Hartman should have gotten like a little cut from the hard knox revenue because they used him so much just for his face no no you didn't think that no i mean for someone that wasn't going to be drafted by the giants he got a lot of face time what team is he on now commanders uh you didn't notice that that was uh yeah i didn't really dwell on the sam hartman parts of arnax okay you're making me look bad now yeah i don't know i'm sending this clip to our group chat with Michael and he's gonna agree with you don't talk about the group chat sorry do you know do you know what a great pride it gives me to have Mina Kimes just confidently look everybody in the face and say what team is he on that should show overtly show a lack of knowledge in a way that betrayed no lack of confidence I love that I have gotten much more careful about being negative about players since the early days on this show because clips from my early appearances haunted me, notably the Josh Allen, which I have worn a hair shirt for, and I'm now like one of the preeminent ESPN Josh Allen defenders, but that's neither here and or there.

[77] I think the greatest insult probably that I can give a player at this point is what I just did right there, Dan.

[78] Jeremy is pointing out to me that Sam Hartman is the fourth string quarterback on the commander.

[79] she doesn't need to know that.

[80] Yes, she does.

[81] You don't know Mina Kimes.

[82] Yes, she does.

[83] She feels like she does need to know that.

[84] I also love that you just unveiled for us, Mina, what I believe, because 2025 is going to be difficult if some things break in the next few months of the way that we don't really want to around here.

[85] There's a new lane for Mina Kimes if you need to be in a little bit of disguise as a football analyst as a Southern Bell.

[86] Listen to yourself here earlier in the program.

[87] And I think that would be fair.

[88] And I think that would be fair.

[89] And I think that would.

[90] be fair you could be a you could be a pole that's not that is that is you you could be on no that isn't you put that through some sort of jet no and I think that would be fair that is not me that is 100 % was literally you seven minutes ago no way it is and I think that will be here yes you did you speed that up or something no that's just you on the Paul Fine bomb show and I think that would be fair that is not me this is your fake newsing me that's like an A .I. It is not A .I. I don't have the competence of staff here in order to make that as Southern as it was.

[91] I did cut it down.

[92] I'll give you the more context so you can hear the full clip.

[93] And I think that would be fair, but the thing is, you're not paying these quarterbacks based on.

[94] And I think that would be fair, but the thing is, you're not paying these quarterbacks based on.

[95] Yes.

[96] Vita, yes.

[97] Who else would it be?

[98] Wait, you have, you are just, I want to understand something here.

[99] You're accusing Chris Cody of magically being able to figure out.

[100] artificial intelligence when I can't get him to hit the right button at any point during the show today you think he realized the great devastation of this moment is this sort of me being Brian Kelly I have spent Dan you know this everyone on the show knows this I have spent years trying to do accents unsuccessfully failing I think that would be fair and yet somehow this is my greatest absent and I disown it completely and I think that would be fair that's not real that's a woman we all perked up back here when it happened we were like did anybody else hear that I go grab that please a 70 year old woman to find this from Georgia named Darlene and I think that will be fair stagatia for my friends over at simply safe if you're like me you're constantly thinking about the safety of the people and things you value most.
