Welcome back to the Munich Times show featuring Lenny.

Taylor, the football season is so close.

I can taste it.

That is Taylor Kiles, by the way, who I'm introducing for the audio audience of CLNS Media,

covers the Patriots, does a fantastic job.

I am having him on the show today to talk about what I have pitched to him as who are the

most interesting players of 2025. Later in this episode, I will have my friend Seth Wickersham

on to talk about the most interesting quarterbacks. But Taylor and I are going to be talking about the most interesting non-quarterbacks. Taylor, can you guess who any of the interesting quarterbacks are? We're not talking about. We're not talking about later. I mean, one's got to be my boy Drake May, right? I didn't think, May. I thought about it. But I don't know. That's a Homer take, by the way. That was just like literally just lobbing my homerism right at the start of the show. We are going to talk about a Patriot who's not Drake May. I threw out. So you picked four players. I picked four players. Then we're going to actually, well, we both picked a coach. And then I'm going to do the four quarterbacks with set i was very fortunate that you picked micha parsons when we talked about this last week um because candidly when you picked him i thought he was going to be a cowboy and i actually didn't find it that interesting i was i was like ah it's interesting at least because like maybe he could i think it was like rickie helped me out there a bit. Kind of like floated the trade in the waters before we really got the big news on it.

Is that the dog who is teasing the dog avatar for not chronically online people? There's a

good count out there with a dog avatar who's been breaking news apparently. Yeah. So this is

my first chance on the podcast,

actually, to talk about the trade. Michael Parsons was one of your picks for the most interesting

people of the 2025 season. And now it is certainly substantiated. It is absolutely fascinating.

So I've been, I put out a reaction to the trade. I've been on TV talking about

why I think it's absolutely insane that the Cowboys did this. We're not here to do that.

I don't want to revisit the compensation, which I think was woefully insufficient, the

process behind it, which seems ill-begotten, unorganized, disorganized, poorly planned, whatever you want to call it.

Cowboys fans, I'm so sorry. But I want to talk to you about something else, which is what this is

actually going to play out on the field, like what we're going to see from a football perspective,

because I find that to be genuinely fascinating. It makes the Green Bay Packers,

I've said this basically everywhere I've talked about it, Super Bowl contenders in my mind.

Let's start there. Do you agree with that premise? And what do you think it does for this defense?
