Today's podcast, not a long one. We're making it up to you this week. We get Danny

Cannell for an hour. We're talking college football, playoff preview, also Deon Sanders

flipping a Florida state guy to his new school. And we do some bullshit on his SEC stuff.

I also have a little open about what it means to be a coach in pro sports, a little more

specific to the NBA and of course long, long life advice. Where I think we still only get to,

but a little bit of a go and abroad. But we don't our passport isn't stamped if you understand.

And like we said at the top, we're going to an hour with Cannell. But in today's open, I want to

start with a very simple question. It's really two questions. Would you want to be a coach

at the pro level and is coaching at the pro level the same? And there's a couple examples that

tomorrow, hey, I have a plan for you to work in a front office and I could never be a coach. I don't

understand the game all enough. But if somebody were to say, hey, here's the plan and we're going to

start you on this plan and eventually maybe you could be working. I would probably still do it

because I don't know. I just think the working this hard for a podcast versus working really hard

to compete for something are two entirely different worlds. It's not going to happen. I don't worry

about anymore, right? The other obvious yes is that yeah, those guys make millions of dollars

around charter flights. They stay in five star hotels. You're around famous people. If you're an

ego guy, you know, it's like, hey, cool. You're the center of attention. I mean, you kind of get off

on that kind of stuff. So there's some very simple yeses to what you even want to be a coach.

But we do know this. The beginning of those careers, they suck. They're awful. You know,
