CW Pod: Catching up with Allen Lazard

Chris welcomes his new neighbor (and wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers) Allen Lazard to the home office for a catching up session. One of the greatest to ever put on an Iowa State uniform, Lazard talks about his journey to being Aaron Rodgers' right-hand man in Green Bay. Allen dishes on the c

Solid gold Chris.

Awesome podcast. This is the stuff I have been waiting for. I want more inside dirt.

Lazard: I'm kind of pissed you got me drinking out of this Vikings cup, now that I just realized it.
Chris: It's not a Vikings cup.
Lazard: It says Skol, with a Viking on it.

Bold Move Cotton.

Which one of you creeps showed up at his house with some brewskis?

I thought Lazards idea of paying players based off of playing time was a cool idea.

It would entice players to go to schools where they would get PT but know they would get paid by getting PT. I

This legitimately is one of the best pods CF has done. This was awesome. Well done Chris!

We've known this for years, but Allen is one impressive, well spoken, young man.

I loved hearing about how what NFL life looks like behind the scenes. Had no idea players get additional pay based on amount played.

One aspect of pro sports that always seemed odd to me was that they basically do whatever they want in the off-season. Live somewhere else, train where they want, etc...

More stories from the 2017 season would be awesome. Get Allen, Joel, and Marchie together sometime to rehash it.

It’s brilliant, because it would be actual NIL payments from the conference. Fox/ESPN is paying the conference x dollars for this season to put the players on TV, so the players are compensated for the use of their name, image, and likeness. Problem solved!

It’ll never happen.

Was wondering that as well. Really enjoyed the couple of episodes we got.

Kind of. If they show up out of shape they in trouble.

This was really interesting. I like that Allen was honest and he’s clearly not an ISU homer. Him saying he would have transferred immediately if NIL offers were presented. He, like probably 90%+ of players, wants the $$$ and the school is less important.

This along with going pro, etc. Most are as loyal as their options.

Got to taken into account what he said though, the coaching change was a big part of that part of the conversation. He was s established as a big time WR and had size/stats to back it up. Schools/donor would've been calling big time in that situation today.

Appreciated his honesty to share it, but didn't necessarily love his honesty in sharing it
