1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,160 Speaker 1: We head out to the Kiwi Common Spirit Health Highline 2 00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 1: to bring on Ian Rappaport, our NFL Network Insider powered 3 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: by Chevron. Chevron the human Energy company committed to our 4 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,639 Speaker 1: local communities and safely delivering affordable, reliable, ever cleaner energy. 5 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 2: Ian Good, afternoon, sir. 6 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 3: How are you what's going on? 7 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 2: Hey? 8 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 4: You guys doing uh doing good? I appreciate the time. 9 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,280 Speaker 4: I want to ask you if there's any updated information. 10 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,799 Speaker 4: We're kind of I guess covering our own here, but 11 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 4: I was calling the Broncos game yesterday and the Mark 12 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 4: Sanchez story broke. Do we know anything more than what 13 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 4: was reported initially? And what, if anything would. 14 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 3: The league do? Uh? 15 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,480 Speaker 4: It was not a player, it's a former player. Would 16 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 4: the league do anything in this situation? 17 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 3: I'll start with the second part. 18 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 2: First, I don't believe the league would do anything. 19 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 3: I mean, I would say, you know, he's not a 20 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 3: current player, he's a former player. Yeah. 21 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 2: Now, if he was on a broadcast for the league 22 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 2: partners generally something that you know might be something they 23 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 2: would look at. But he is, you know, obviously not 24 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 2: going to be broadcasting anytime soon. You know. 25 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 3: As far as what we know, it does seem like. 26 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 2: The person he allegedly got into an altercation with his 27 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 2: foal lawsuit against Tim and Fox. He has been charged 28 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 2: with a felony and it carries one to five years 29 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 2: in jail, and we have not heard from him yet 30 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,320 Speaker 2: at all. So that's that's the one thing to me 31 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,479 Speaker 2: that's been really interesting is with. 32 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 3: All the discussion, everything that's come out, we haven't. 33 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 2: Heard one word from him even gotten his side, which 34 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 2: you know should lead us, all of us the public, 35 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 2: to be cautious about what gets out because we honestly 36 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 2: don't know. We've all heard one side. But that's the 37 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 2: reality right now. 38 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: We were talking a moment ago about the Broncos win 39 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: over the Eagles yesterday. What was your reaction to it. 40 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 2: I mean, it was a pretty stirring win, I gotta say, 41 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 2: you know, it was you know, certainly the kind of 42 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 2: thing where you know, the the overall outcome is good. 43 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 2: Obviously you want to win, but you know, could some 44 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 2: wins are worth more than others. That felt to me 45 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 2: like when that was worth a lot. I mean, it 46 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 2: was a you know, one of the best teams in 47 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 2: the NFL was an undefeated team. There was a game 48 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 2: that certainly seems like it's in hand for the Philadelphia Eagles, 49 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 2: and then Denver turned it with you know, some gutty 50 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 2: heavy plays, including by the quarterbacks. So I mean, to me, 51 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 2: I a thing that served notice around the league, like 52 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 2: this team is pretty legit. And you know, again, different 53 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 2: games of work, different things. When it happens in that 54 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 2: like really good national window when everyone's watching, sometimes those 55 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 2: can mean maybe a little bit more than otherwise. 56 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt about that. 57 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 3: I know. 58 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 4: Speaking of another team, I know, well know, Lamar Jackson 59 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 4: is hurt, but the Ravens have been playing really un 60 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 4: raven like football since the start of the season. They're 61 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 4: one and four. What are you hearing from Baltimore in 62 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 4: terms of sort of the the next few weeks what 63 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 4: that might look like? 64 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, I would say the most 65 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 2: important thing for them is to get healthy, you know, 66 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 2: like they get like, let's say they can somehow win 67 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 2: this week, or even if they don't, you know, I mean, 68 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 2: it's it's let's say they're one. 69 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,519 Speaker 3: In five, Okay, well, like they got the work cutoff 70 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 3: for one, but if they got Lamar Jackson and Rokwan 71 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 3: Smith and Malin Humphrey and everyone back together. Like I 72 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 3: think they'll be okay. 73 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 2: You know, it's just they just got to hang in 74 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 2: there till the cavalry comes. And you know, I think 75 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 2: the most interesting thing is going to be, you know, 76 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 2: do they keep playing In other words, do they keep 77 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 2: playing part do they keep fighting? 78 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 3: Right, they didn't play well on Sunday, but they did fight, 79 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 3: and so if they keep. 80 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 2: That up, you know, there they could be. You know, 81 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 2: this year's example of the Bengals, which is either started 82 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 2: terribly and then by the end we're really just running 83 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,839 Speaker 2: into the playoffs, and the Bengals didn't quite get there, 84 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 2: but they almost did, you guys know, you know, so 85 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 2: they just really got to hang in there and wait 86 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 2: for their guys to come back. 87 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 3: But if they keep playing tough, I would say that 88 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 3: that'll be the sign of a team that you know, 89 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 3: is pretty strong and it's cool. You know. 90 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: Another one in fourteen, the Las Vegas Raiders skip blown 91 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: out yesterday by Indianapolis. Now they got Tennessee this week, who, 92 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: by the way, just got their first win. Congratulations to 93 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: them in Kansas City Jacksonville. Never so the road is 94 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: not yet easier for the Raiders. Are what what do 95 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: they go to at this point, because it seems like 96 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: the move was all in on Pete Carroll and Gino Smith. 97 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, I think I've said, I've said 98 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 2: a lot of times I thought Pete Carroll was a 99 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 2: really good higher I think most wise he's gonna help. 100 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 3: I thought it would be faster, and I think part 101 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 3: of the reason I thought that was because I thought 102 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 3: Gino would play cleaner, you know. I mean, it's been 103 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 3: too many interceptions, too careless with the football. I mean, 104 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 3: that's not been the quarterback. 105 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 2: That he's been. It really isn't. He's not. He's not 106 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 2: playing good enough football. You know, I would say, you know, 107 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 2: Chip Kelly, being the highest paid offensive quarter in the 108 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 2: NFL and having an offense that is non functional is 109 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 2: a challenge, you know, certainly something that has been a 110 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 2: little bit of a surprise to me at least. So 111 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 2: you know, there's a lot of places for the blame 112 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 2: to go. I still think they can fix it. I 113 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 2: just don't know if they can fix it enough where 114 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 2: they're sort of a team to be reckoned with like 115 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 2: they should be. 116 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 3: Now. 117 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 2: The other thing is, you know, I think Ashton gent 118 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 2: is going to be a really, really excellent running back 119 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 2: offensive line, which they had a chance to take someone 120 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 2: early in the draft, is still a problem. You do 121 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 2: wonder about some of those decisions. 122 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt about that final question for me, we 123 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 4: had talked about Mike McDaniels in Miami. They lose a 124 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 4: tough one yesterday. I guess the watch just continues and 125 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 4: the seat gets even a little bit hotter. 126 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, no change in status, and 127 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 2: you know, and it's a guy that the Miami Dolphins 128 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 2: do not want to fire. They like, they have extended. 129 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 2: He's close with the owner, he's a good guy. Players 130 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 2: like him. 131 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 3: Mean, there's there's a lot to like. It's just, you know, 132 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 3: at some point, if the results aren't there, the guys 133 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 3: stop playing. 134 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 2: For a head coach, or the fans stop showing up, 135 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 2: or any combination of that, you know, then you have 136 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 2: to take a hard look at it. I think it's 137 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 2: you know, I don't get the sense anything's imminent, but uh, 138 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 2: you know, it does seem to be something that we're 139 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 2: gonna have to watch. And if they keep losing, the 140 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 2: results keep getting ugly, then you know, unfortunately, sometimes changes happen, 141 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 2: but you know, it's not too late, but you know, 142 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 2: you'd sort of like Tyreek Hill to be on the 143 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 2: team if you're going to have this great turnaround, you know, 144 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 2: unfortunately for them, certainly a head coach situation. You're everyone's 145 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 2: going to be watching, no doubt. 146 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: Ian really appreciate it. Well, check out with you next week. 147 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 3: Okay, thanks guys, Thank you. 148 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport our NFL Network insider
