124.628 - 138.956 Danny Clinkscale

I'm doing just fine, Sorrento. It's a beautiful day. Yes, it is. We're in the midst of the NFL draft, and I'm not Roger Goodell. But I get that out of my chest off the air. Not entirely.

139.437 - 140.959 Unknown

Yeah. Apparently not.

141.199 - 145.165 Danny Clinkscale

No. Not Roger Goodell. I don't get that. What's he make? $50 million?

Chapter 2: How does Danny feel about Mike Vrabel's performance?

370.448 - 393.73 Unknown

They want the word on the street as fast as possible that their guy went, so come sign up with me because I'm the agent who got this guy drafted. The problem is the damn coaches and general managers. Don't call the kid until you see it picked on the television. You can stand up and bro hug each other like you actually did something more than just go eeny, meeny, miny.

0

394.011 - 414.337 Unknown

You can all sit around and hug and slobber over each other and shake hands and everything. But don't call him until we've announced it. But it's like this control freak thing that coaches just like, no, no, no, I control everything. I'm going to call before the broadcast. They're not going to dictate to me what's going to go on. So I'm going to call the kid.

0

414.758 - 433.881 Unknown

I can't believe you own everything and you still can't put on a competent broadcast. It just speaks to how unbelievably popular the NFL is. Because they screw up most things that have to do with us getting to consume their product and it's still... Unbelievably number one.

0

434.301 - 449.099 Danny Clinkscale

Right. Well, I think also people have a choice. I mean, you can just watch the broadcast and then you won't have the issues we're talking about. I mean, do you need to know 45 seconds before? And I wonder how much of our opinion of it is.

0

449.24 - 450.461 Unknown

Hang on. That's true.

450.781 - 450.982 Danny Clinkscale

Right.

451.542 - 478.01 Unknown

That is true. That's unequivocally true. But that is not the world that people younger than us live in. It's not even the world Curtis lives in. I sat at lunch today with Curtis, and until his food got put in front of him, Lebo and I were third and fourth on his... He was... Oh, look at this. You're an F1 guy. Part of it, I was hearing stories I'd already heard, so I'm like, all right.

478.03 - 482.196 Unknown

I've heard that one before. But I mean, so I was actually calling you young.

482.256 - 502.774 Danny Clinkscale

I know. I'm just saying they have a choice. They do. If you don't like it, watch the broadcast. Now, I will say that I think the broadcast has morphed a little bit into, I don't know if it's because Kuyper's back with a bigger role or other people aren't there who they didn't want to pay as much or whatever, but it's gotten to be a little happy fest about the players.

Chapter 3: What insights does Danny provide about the Chiefs' draft strategy?

728.418 - 748.083 Danny Clinkscale

Have some fun. So you didn't like the khakis and blue blazer? No, not really. Not so much. The Buster Brown shoes. Right. But white shirt, black tie. Dockers. Really? So anyway, but so I that to me and also, for instance, don't anybody call Danny an old white guy.

0

748.484 - 753.131 Unknown

OK, because he just he just busted ass for a guy dressing like an old white guy.

0

753.371 - 769.428 Danny Clinkscale

That wasn't even that's bad for an old white guy. That's like an old white funeral director. I mean, come on, man. I would have worn Tulane's outfit proudly. I'd wear it today. And everyone would go, what the hell is wrong with you?

0

769.648 - 770.97 Unknown

I don't know that you pull it off.

0

771.11 - 771.19 Danny Clinkscale

No.

771.21 - 779.724 Unknown

Because I'm not qualified to make that assessment clearly. Right. But you do not dress your age, Danny.

779.744 - 798.001 Danny Clinkscale

No, no, I don't. But anyway, and I'm skinny enough to do it, so I could do it. But anyway... So is Curtis and I became hipster? No, you can hipster. Stick to the moo-moos, fat asses. There's a lot of hefty rappers who could teach you some things about dressing. That's true. It's just more expensive. Yeah, there you go.

798.021 - 799.323 Unknown

Because there's more stuff there.

799.483 - 814.723 Danny Clinkscale

Just get drafted and go out and buy your sister and your mom a car right away. Like the other draft choice did. Destination? Done. I got drafted. Here, Mom. Here's a car. Here's a car. I'm done. I'm done. OTAs? No, I ain't showing.

Chapter 4: What concerns does Danny express about the Chiefs' recent picks?

1015.685 - 1026.035 Unknown

I agree. And Steve Spagnuolo is the highest paid defensive coordinator in football. Scheme some things up, man. And what have they done best? Play defense for three years.

0

1026.075 - 1030.88 Danny Clinkscale

Right. And also, what have they done best? Build a secondary. Build a secondary out of whole cloth.

0

1031.061 - 1038.536 Unknown

But I'll say to that. The same thing as, like, you can do it. That shouldn't be the plan.

0

1038.777 - 1052.764 Danny Clinkscale

I know. But, for instance, the thing you said before. Yeah, he's the defensive version of Mahomes. But you know what? In a couple of years, he's going to be sitting on a beach. I don't mean it that way. Having mimosas. I do agree. I'm with you. Don't make him happy. I agree.

0

1052.744 - 1061.418 Unknown

I am with you. I mean, Brett Veach needs to be drafting for the long haul, and he's got a 67-year-old head coach, and Spaggs is right around the same age.

1061.438 - 1061.879 Danny Clinkscale

64, I think.

1061.979 - 1082.395 Unknown

I mean, yes, I do agree. I worry very much about that. That is in the back of my head, and I think you're right to bring it up, that we as fans need to worry about it. Because generally speaking, the teams that win, you're more likely to win a championship play in the long game, and then it came together quicker than you thought. See 2022. 2022 was a rebuilding year for the Kansas City Chiefs.

1082.775 - 1097.449 Unknown

They took all these young defensive backs. Steve Spagnuolo didn't want to play young defensive backs. He had to play young defensive backs. And guess what? They were good. Because Brett Beach kicked ass in the draft. And they won the championship that year. And so to me, when you make the right decisions for the long haul, it will eventually come together.

1097.429 - 1110.987 Unknown

If you trade it up because you're like, we have to have a corner, that's where you make mistakes. Because you start convincing yourself, this is worth it. We have to have this. You should never have to have anything. So I am concerned from that standpoint.

Chapter 5: How does the guest evaluate the Chiefs' offensive strategy?

1388.034 - 1392.701 Unknown

It's not unfair in 26. It's definitely not unfair with Patrick Mahomes.

0

1392.721 - 1417.028 Danny Clinkscale

And it's definitely not unfair in a landscape where... you pretty much, if you're talking about a close game, generally that means one where a field goal is going to be important. You basically now usually need two first downs to kick a field goal. Back then, you probably had to drive to be feeling pretty good. You had to drive to the 25, maybe, you know, to think you're, oh, okay, we're good.

0

1417.228 - 1421.753 Unknown

And you were starting at the 20, and now they've rigged the rules to start at the 35, so you're...

0

1421.733 - 1431.791 Danny Clinkscale

And the other team's dead afraid of doing stuff, so you're generally starting at the 32 or the 38. I mean, so you just make a couple plays and you kick a field goal and all's good.

0

1432.612 - 1449.09 Unknown

I said this to one of the callers, 2.05 to go and two timeouts. I heard that. Fourth and one. What do you want to do? Everyone in this town wants Patrick Mahomes to go get it and win it. Right. Well, so then help them. And I'm going to tell you that, like, do you I don't want to hear like, oh, these offenses today are so good. So then make yours better.

1449.591 - 1465.56 Unknown

Like, I mean, it is part of the game now is you got to outscore some people. So let's take a break. I want to ask you about who you would have taken, how you would have done it differently. Danny's Danny Clinkscale is with us, brought to you by our friends at Easton Roofing, offering residential roofing repair and replacement. Some companies don't do repairs.

They're online at eastonroofing.com. Yes, they do. The Twin Peaks end of the hour answer. Who is the only team to draft four players in the first round of an NFL draft? Oh, four players.

1508.364 - 1533.689 Unknown

Just did three last night. Four. Four. Cowboys sounds like something maybe Jimmy Johnson kept peeling back and getting future picks or something like that. Nope. No idea. The picks were 12, 13, 18, and 27. Sounds like a terrible team that made some trades. I'll say the Jets did it. Oh, the Jets did it last night. I'll say the Jets did it before. The Jets did it in 2000. Really?

Chapter 6: What does Danny think about the team's need for a new stadium?

1647.981 - 1665.747 Unknown

0

1688.979 - 1693.39 Danny Clinkscale

Pretty simple for me. I would have stayed there and I would have taken Reuben Bain.

0

1694.585 - 1698.03 Unknown

Yeah, I'm not on the Reuben Bain train. I am.

0

1698.971 - 1705.74 Danny Clinkscale

Okay. I am. I think the performance is there. I felt even more.

1706.141 - 1722.308 Unknown

Where was the performance the first half of the year? I keep hearing the performance is there, and there's no doubt. I'd rather him be really good against really good opponents. I think he's a high-floor guy. I don't think there's much ceiling at all. And so... But he had seven sacks through the regular season. Then he had seven in the playoffs.

1722.89 - 1729.367 Unknown

And everybody, when they quote 14, how did he only have seven in the regular season? Doesn't that concern you a little?

1729.837 - 1751.12 Danny Clinkscale

Well, they had another guy who got a lot of sacks, too. So I think that could be part of it. That's fair. The other thing that made me feel good about that I would pick him is he looks like a very serious person about football. And I think now he's pissed. So I think he'll be a highly motivated player in addition to being a good player. So I would have done that.

1751.46 - 1758.207 Danny Clinkscale

And five years from now, I might have Tommy Moe reaching out to me going, what an idiot you are. Reuben Bain's out of the league.

Chapter 7: How does Danny assess the impact of social media on draft reactions?

2064.14 - 2087.985 Danny Clinkscale

He needs some more toys. I mean, it's clear that the rest of the guys, no matter how highly you thought they were, whether they've shown performance skills at times... The proof is that you have a great quarterback and the offense has been meh for years now, a few years now. And so the rest of the guys aren't that good or you're not using them properly.

0

2088.426 - 2105.553 Danny Clinkscale

You got a lot of money tied up in an offensive line and you don't run the football. So they brought over a high-priced running back. They better run the football. But you don't take the ball. You don't run it like... you know, the old Steelers or something and have 2,000-yard backs, you've got Patrick Mahomes. You use him to take the heat off Patrick Mahomes.

0

2105.913 - 2129.134 Danny Clinkscale

But you've paid for that to be a strength of your team, and it's not working for whatever reason. So get somebody else who can make a difference. Maybe get somebody who's like a— Third down maker, because your third down maker is old now. He's probably not going to make that many third down conversions for you.

0

2130.296 - 2142.298 Danny Clinkscale

They don't seem to like a back-to-the-quarterback, throw-it-up-there-on-the-sidelines type receiver. He doesn't seem to have liked that. Andy Reid, that's not in his DNA, apparently.

0

2142.329 - 2161.277 Unknown

Yeah, I wouldn't mind a wide receiver. The problem is I think you get down. They have not had any success with the Josh Kando's and the B.J. Thompson's and, you know, those kind of guys. Like, I think if you don't get an edge at 40, I'd rather you not pick one because I don't think it's that they don't do well. I think anybody does.

2161.357 - 2183.693 Unknown

I think if you're good at edge, like I said, I think it's an easier scout. You know who the guys are and you got to take them early. Otherwise, you're taking a guy that's immensely flawed. One more with Danny Klinkscale. A little Danny Unleashed brought to you by our friends at Easton Roofing. Daniel Klinkscale is with us. Not a fan of that, are you?

2184.533 - 2199.328 Danny Clinkscale

No, not really. That's why I decided to be Danny for my whole life. I don't like Dan either. I only got called Daniel Robert when my dad was pissed. Daniel Robert! Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Trouble coming.

2199.668 - 2209.798 Unknown

Danny Robbie. You got a couple of the cutie baseball names. Just real quick, did you wear the vest in honor of Mike Vrabel taking a...

2211.162 - 2237.974 Danny Clinkscale

Yeah, I'm headed for the hot tub right after this. I'm going to cheat on the old wife in the hot tub. Sounds like a quality plan, huh? And then say I'm going to go for counseling. Good work, Mike. You know, has anybody really taken a hard fall like that? I mean, everybody liked it. Mike Vrabel, and respected the guy. He was great to talk to. Not saying he's not a stand-up guy.
