If you think how 7 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: many times I've said that one thousand two actually disrupt 8 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: more times than I've said hey Dane so many times. 9 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 1: And uh, I have asked multiple times how many shows 10 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: have we done? Where are we? Are we close to 11 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: one thousand? We should do a one thousand episode blowout 12 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 1: live shows somewhere in Los Angeles. And every time Erica 13 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: looks me in the eye and she says, no, thanks, 14 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: I don't need to look there. That's not true. I 15 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: look it up every day. I mean it would be 16 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: very it would it would. That's not necessary either. Yes, no, 17 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: it's so this is your all the all the President's 18 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: Men type of investigation, just on. Well, here's how long 19 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: it would take as long as it takes to count 20 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: to you know, a little less than a thousand. So 21 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: I bet one of our listeners that do I gotta 22 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: do is go to iTunes, right and just count count 23 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: them up?

And 41 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: speaking of Thanksgiving, we hear it all the time. I 42 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: like to do it, lady, Yeah, It's fine. I like it. Um, 43 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: I like to do it, lady. Every show every year 44 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: around this time, we were told the season doesn't really 45 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: start until after Thanksgiving, it doesn't even begin, which, first 46 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: of all, West, I know you're a guy. You chew 47 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: up that film. You're a real tape dog, as they 48 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: call you tap dog. It must be offensive to you 49 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: on some level. For people to think you could. Isn't 50 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: a kind of reductive thinking a little bit? No, not 51 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: at all. I think it's absolutely correct, and I've had 52 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: to come to terms with the fact that three months 53 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 1: of my life just are meaningless. Well, it's it's saying, 54 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: you know, when it comes to winning a championship, that's 55 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: not our goal. Our goal is just to entertain and 56 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: uh inform the masses. So I think that matters in 57 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: week two, Week three. But if your goal is just 58 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: winning the Super Bowl, that's when it kind of matters. 59 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: I'd say the Bengals have followed orders. They certainly have 60 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 1: they gonna ride. Um No, that was solid perspective, Greg, 61 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: And with that in mind, a little later in the show, Uh, 62 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: since the season doesn't start until Friday, the day after 63 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving here in the States, we're gonna offer up a 64 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: couple of predictions for I guess what the real season is. 65 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: This has all been a big exhibition walk up until now, 66 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: so we we've made I'm even throwing Thanksgiving into that 67 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,839 Speaker 1: because it's unfair that the Cowboys and Bills and other 68 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: teams playing Thursday there, you know, their season would be 69 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: less than the rest of the That brings up another 70 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: point I actually asked you guys a couple of days ago. 71 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: Is the saying the season begins on Thanksgiving or after 72 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: but using that logic, yes, Thanksgiving should counts. It's essentially 73 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: people are saying, if you really want to boil it down, 74 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: week thirteen is when the season begins. It's at all 75 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: Belichick parcels. I don't think anyone else fairly pedals in this, 76 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: but Belichick loves it, and that's pretty good source material 77 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: in terms of the info on that. So we're gonna 78 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: throw out some predictions for the final five weeks of 79 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: the regular season and uh, perhaps the playoffs. I don't 80 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: know where you guys went with this. Also, speaking of Thanksgiving, 81 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna preview each of the three Thanksgiving Day games. 82 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: We got some turkeys. I like to do it lady 83 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: h to to discuss um Chicago at Detroit, Buffalo, at Dallas, 84 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: New Orleans at Atlanta. Now that's another idea. Instead of 85 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: us having to Mark and I are going to handle 86 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving post Thanksgiving wrap up? Can you just day 87 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: got enough sound clips of Mark and I just to 88 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: put together an entire recap. I love that plan of Thanksgiving. 89 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: By the way, I do appreciate you adding I appreciate 90 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: you adding extra people to be interrupted with their own 91 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 1: voice while they're talking. It's a little bit unnerving. I 92 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 1: thought it was fair, especially because it's like clearly a 93 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: man singing that New York City song and he just 94 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: does like a falsetto, and you're like, I like to 95 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: do it, lady, So like it's it was funny. It 96 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: doesn't bother me as much that I thought it was 97 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: a lady it is. Yeah, that's a woman. Yeah, that's 98 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: a female. Are you kidding? No? No, okay, it's not. 99 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: That's backing box by a female. No, it's it's a 100 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: guy going falsetto. That's Mary Clayton. Would you mind researching 101 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: that case or asking the listen? Yeah, I guys want 102 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: to know this song came out of our library and 103 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: never to be found again. I'm not sure what it's 104 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: called where it's for them, but look it up. A 105 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of gender confusion this week between 106 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: this and Conan the Dog. I mean, it's just it's 107 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: the hot story all over the place. UH. So we'll 108 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: preview the three Thanksgiving games. But before we do any 109 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 1: of that, let's finish up Week twelve with the Road 110 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: to Victory, uh presented by the United States Marine Corps 111 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: and yes, the Ravens. They are cruising down that road. 112 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: Jackson takes the snap, Let's pressure coming SLINKs at the 113 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: end zone. Hollywood Brown, How's it? Touchdown number two for Hollywood. 114 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown ran free right down the seam and Lamar 115 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 1: Jackson with cornerback pressure coming, delivered the dime and the 116 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: Ravens extended to a two touchdown leaves. Every time he 117 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: makes a throw like this, the word that comes on 118 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 1: my mind is sustainable, because everybody says this, all this 119 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: is not sustainable because you got a quarterback the runs 120 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: of all, eventual's gonna get hurt or canna lose his leg, 121 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: or he's gonna get old or beat up or whatever. 122 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 1: That right there is sustainable ball that was an absolute. 123 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: Oh he is gonna get old, so that's terrible, but 124 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: he will get old, Lamar Jackson. But all the other 125 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: things that was spot up not yet Jerry Sandusky and 126 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: a friend the Ravens radio network with the call, I 127 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: don't have the man's name, maybe Dennis pit A Deepen, Deepen. 128 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: He's been doing it. What a performance by the Ravens. 129 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: What are performance by the m v P favorite Lamar 130 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: Jackson who threw as many touchdowns on Monday at the 131 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: l A. Calseum as he did interceptions five and an 132 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: absolute but whipping forty five to six Ravens over Rams. 133 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: Baltimore moves to nine and two and uh obviously in 134 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: control their division and right on the heels of the 135 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: Patriots with a huge match up against the forty niners. 136 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: Uh next week the Rams in tatters and and this 137 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: was my mark my initial thought, Uh, you know, soaking 138 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: in this game? Afterwards? What what does it all mean? 139 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: A year ago around this team time, fifty three weeks 140 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: ago to be exact, there was another League Sensation, a 141 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: young League Sensation quarterback Patrick Mahomes on the way to 142 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: the m v P that had a monster game against 143 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: the Rams in l A and Jared Goff and the 144 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: Rams offense went punch for punch, and not only punch 145 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: for punch, they won. The Rams won that game, that 146 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: famous fifty three one win. This year, same situation, another 147 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: hot shot young future m v P potentially comes into 148 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: the Rams building and Goff and the offense weren't even 149 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: close to being able to go punch for punch. It 150 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: shows you how quickly the Super Bowl window shuts in 151 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 1: the NFL, and also what a mess the Rams have become. 152 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: But let's start with the Ravens and how impressive they 153 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: are right now and how great the NFL is and 154 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: I compared to any other sports league, because it is 155 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: hyper unpredictable to see even think we're will be a 156 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: year from now, to think the last Night history is 157 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: happening before or our eyes where anyone tracking the NFL 158 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: has Lamar Jackson is hot on the radar, But there 159 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: are still groups of people that don't really watch a 160 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: lot of games outside of their own team, and maybe 161 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: didn't even see Lamar Jackson really until last night, and 162 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: he exploded onto the scene and in a performance that 163 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: basically said Rams, you were the the It boys. Last year, 164 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: you're not any longer and you were the untouchable from 165 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,719 Speaker 1: coaching on down to roster, team building everything, and can 166 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: you get there again? Perhaps you again? Perhaps so. I 167 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: mean things like change, as we said so much, but 168 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: right now it was you know, I watched these Ravens 169 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 1: victories week after week, these crushings where you almost want 170 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: to look at the teams that are being scattered into 171 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: a thousand parts and say, let's see where you are 172 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: next week, because it's hard to look at you. But 173 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: I don't. I also look at from the ram side 174 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 1: and I'll let you guys hit that. A team that 175 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 1: and this is what the Ravens do. And I want 176 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 1: to see what happens against San Francisco. They did it 177 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: against the Texans. They've done it over and over. They 178 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,839 Speaker 1: break you physically quickly with us, as Eric Wettle said, 179 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: they couldn't even see where the balls here. We have 180 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: wet All. Let's hear and this is very unusual, uh, 181 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: to hear any quote like and wet All is a 182 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: guy that speaks his mind, and it's great to have 183 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: people like him, so that you factor that in well 184 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: as well. But to hear this type of quote coming 185 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 1: out of a losing locker room as ultra rare. Yeah, 186 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: there's nothing like it. Is there something you can't emulate that? 187 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: How are you gonna practice it? Lamar is the fastest 188 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: guy on the field, and now you got it. Obviously, 189 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: I'm a little frustrated. No, don't take good. It's just uh, 190 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: he's he's an m v P for a reason for 191 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: what he's doing the whole team. I kid you, not 192 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: like I wouldn't like to you guys. Half the time, 193 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: I didn't know who had the ball until they were 194 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: a getting to the line and I had to go 195 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,319 Speaker 1: tackle him. That that is an underrated part of their team. 196 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: Lamar is so good with his ball handling and taking 197 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: the ball at the mess point, and the creativity with 198 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: the play calls that mark Ingram runs well and Gus 199 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: Edwards and Jackson that every defense is slow trying to react. 200 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: I mean the Rams, we know they're mediocre this season. 201 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: I don't think I needed to see them get blown 202 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: out to know that. I mean, Deshaun Watson's Texans lost 203 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: by basically the same score ended his m VP campaign. 204 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: Remember that they beat the Patriots by three scores and 205 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: they went to Seattle and beat them thirty to sixteen. 206 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: This is a historic run. They've outscored their last five 207 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: opponents uh two two. I believe the sixty four and 208 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 1: four of those teams are teams that could be going 209 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: to the playoffs. The Rams probably aren't, but three of 210 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 1: those teams are playoff teams. They are beating great teams 211 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: by a lot in a way that we haven't seen 212 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 1: since the oh seven Patriots. To me, yeah, the Rams 213 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: are a disappointment. They're gonna end up with eight nine 214 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: wins whatever. It is very likely missed the playoffs. But 215 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: they're the Washington Generals. As you mentioned, this is this 216 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: is the Baltimore Ravens Show. It's the first time in 217 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: literally NFL history that a team has beating two winning 218 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: teams back to back weeks by more than thirty four points. 219 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: I mean, their their point differential is right there with 220 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: like the greatest teams of all time, and it's just 221 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: like fun to watch it. It's perfect that we got 222 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: the forty Niners coming in on Sunday and this week, 223 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 1: of all weeks, I was struck by the similarities when 224 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: we see RG three warming up on the sidelines and 225 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: garbage time to the two thousand twelve RG three season, 226 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: where it's not every year that the league gets swept 227 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: up in the fever of a physical marvel like r 228 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 1: G three was when the Giants were saying it's like 229 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: playing against Superman, when they were chasing him down the 230 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: sideline for eighty years, and then he goes into Dallas 231 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving Day and has a complete star turn. Tony 232 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: Kornheiser is calling it the era of unbridled optimism. And 233 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: when I look at this, I think that he's closest 234 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: to the r G three rookie as far as skill set, 235 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: but much better instincts as a runner than r G three, 236 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: much more durable and strong than r G three, a 237 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: better pocket passer than Michael Vick, and I think he's 238 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: he's on horror. Maybe not quite at the level of 239 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson in terms of decision making, but Russell Wilson's 240 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,719 Speaker 1: instincts as a runner, his decision making is just tremendous, 241 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson's like that, but with way more speed 242 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,559 Speaker 1: right his I think he's one of the best runners 243 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: in the NFL. I mean, you can't even compare r 244 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: G three or even Russell Wilson just as a running 245 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: entity to to Jackson, because he's the best running quarterback 246 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: in NFL history. I mean, he's he's put at least 247 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: he's having the best season any quarterback has had running 248 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: the ball, and the impact that he makes, Like Weddell 249 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: said on defenders who don't know where the ball is 250 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: and their offensive line is playing outstanding, well, I would 251 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: look at it like this. He will be he it's 252 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: his m v P award to lose it right now. 253 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: I think it's close, though, I really do. With five 254 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: not the way, not the way everyone is swept up 255 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: in the fever. And he will be the youngest m 256 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: v P winner if it happens since Jim Brown in 257 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: fifty seven and fifty eight, which to me makes sense 258 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: because Jim Brown was the biggest physical marvel compared to 259 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: his contemporaries that we've ever seen, and Lamar Jackson right 260 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,839 Speaker 1: now is a physical marvel. Sevens or wild for the Ravens. 261 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: Right now, they have seven straight wins. They had seven 262 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: possessions yesterday where they got seven points out of all 263 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: seven uh or six possessions where they got seven points 264 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: each time. Here they are now UH nine for fifty 265 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: five touchdown, seven for sixty one touchdown, eight for seventy 266 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: five touchdown, sevens for seventy five touchdown, ten for seventy 267 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: five touchdown, seventeen for seventy eight touchdown. And the thing 268 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: that jumps out to me and and the the ESPN 269 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: telecast hit on this with bringing up the name of 270 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: the analytics guy that that John R. Harbor leans on 271 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: that multiple times they go for it on fourth down. 272 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: They just don't care because they know if they execute, 273 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: they can't be stopped. On offense, and that was not 274 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: The Rams are deeply disappointing, and especially on offense, where 275 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: it's it's stunning to see how far this team is addressed. 276 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: And Jared Goff looks like the Jeff Fisher Jared Goff 277 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: now and it's hard to believe, but that defense of 278 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: the Rams still has and still has Aaron Donald and 279 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: still has Jalen Ramsey and had Eric Weddle back there, 280 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: and it didn't matter. I think it's okay to be 281 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: swept up by the Lamar Jackson. The magnificence of what 282 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: we're seeing right now, I thought it was amazing the 283 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: sequence where at on fourth and four they're up thirty 284 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: five to six the Ravens and talking about analytics and 285 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: what John Harbaugh decided to do, and this is not 286 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: the John Harbor of five or six years ago. They 287 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: roll out Sam Coach for a punt right, and then 288 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: they say no, no no, no, We're gonna bring in Justin 289 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: Tucker and we're gonna kick it. And then they say no, no, no, 290 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: no no, And suddenly you see Lamar Jackson waving every 291 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: went off the field and he whips a big completion 292 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: and they it's this is what they're doing every week. 293 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: I was watching it with Luke, who's nine years old 294 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: and is seen like six football games, and he said, Daddy, 295 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: why are their wide open spaces play after play? Because 296 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: that is a Rams defensive issue. I think they missed 297 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: the Dominican sue. I think that there are things happening, 298 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: and it's not just the Rams, it's other teams too, 299 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: But they were broken by the end of that. Do 300 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: you think would have made a difference. I don't know 301 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: if you would have made a difference, But when you 302 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: when when Ingram had one run where he clashed into 303 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: three or four people and the Ram all the and 304 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: they're all in bright yellow jerseys, and they were just 305 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: all on the ground for an extra second or two 306 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: because their wheels had been broken by the third quarter. 307 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: By the way, on the field after the game, Lakeisha 308 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: Jackson Westling? Who is she? Just Lkisha Westling. I'm gonna 309 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: get this right. Well, her middle name is now Jackson. Okay, 310 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: so I know. Um, she is a huge Rams fan. 311 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: She uses her NFL connections good for her to get 312 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: on the field and in person at the cal seem 313 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: to watch the game. Blood Bath sucks, however, because she's 314 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: a journal because she cares about her friends, because she 315 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: cares about this show. She tracked down the great Mark Ingram, 316 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: the outspoken star running back of the Ravens who quietly 317 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: had another awesome game last night, and and got this 318 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: from Ingram, my dog Mark? What is see? What's up? Man? 319 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: Hey man? I'm gonna say, Mark, what does he? He He 320 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: always look out for me, always showed me love. That's 321 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: my dude. Have you always looked out for marking him? 322 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 1: Is that true? I mean, I you know we were 323 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: on foreign soil where we looked out for each other. 324 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: USO tour that you went on together. That's what the 325 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: famous Mark when the sea drop is from. But give 326 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: me an instance, and when when you looked out for him, 327 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 1: and you you as a real friend and as a protector, 328 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 1: almost helped mark Ingram to where he is today. He 329 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:22,959 Speaker 1: is a class act. But I think I could help 330 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: him by not describing the situation. But no, I know 331 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: that he helped me much more because the one thing, 332 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: the one note I'll say about him is that you 333 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 1: can already see his effect on that locker room, that team. 334 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 1: But totally selfless and he is He's all about Lamar Jackson, 335 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: He's all about everyone else. And when Lakisha, I know 336 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: that she had competition to talk to mark Ingram, she 337 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 1: had to fight to get him for a second in 338 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 1: the family. I totally appreciate how she got that. But 339 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,199 Speaker 1: one thing that that happened there is that she I 340 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: totally lost my train of thought because it was just 341 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 1: so amazing, but I forced her way in and she 342 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 1: did and he and you know, she also waited till 343 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: this morning to put it up, and I thought it 344 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: was just an awesome surprise to see. But like mark 345 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: Ingram has done that over and over and people were 346 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: tweeting on her tweet basically Saints fans saying this is 347 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: why we miss him in our locker room, that you 348 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: know that's a good locker room too, but that his 349 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 1: absence has been felt. In the addition, in Baltimore, could 350 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: not have been a better free agent in person. I 351 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: feel like if I had a guess what the example was, 352 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 1: maybe a bare knuckle streep brawl somewhere on the streets 353 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 1: of Rome and and you know Ingram he could hold 354 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: hold his own Obviously, this guy is a big man, 355 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: and he and he's knocking out bad guys left and right. 356 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 1: But then a sneak attack. A guy comes up behind 357 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: him with a switchblade. Here comes Mark. He does a superkick. 358 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: That guy's out and and then you put Mark Ingram 359 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: over your shoulder and you raise him to safety. That 360 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: I think that's what he sounds about, right. I know 361 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: on our final light there he did a lot more 362 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 1: to help me. Let's put it that when I when 363 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: I was there in training camp, and they all talked 364 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,479 Speaker 1: about that Ingram was already one of the leaders of 365 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: that team, and that offense like he made, and that 366 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: was you know, that's back in August. He's creating a 367 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: lot of his own yards. That thing about Lamar part 368 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: of the reason his teammates love him is because he 369 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: makes them all look better. I mean, they're they're leaving 370 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: five guys in to pass protect almost every down, never 371 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: an extra guy, so you have more receivers out in 372 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: the route. That's part of the reason why you know 373 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: they have open receivers all the time, the tackles in 374 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: the offensive lineman, they're all going to the Pro Bowl 375 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,400 Speaker 1: like they're getting incentives. Like Orlando Brown and Ronnie Stanley 376 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 1: are playing as well as anyone, they're getting more love. 377 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,360 Speaker 1: It's like Lamar makes mark Ingram look better. He makes 378 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: everyone look better. I wrote an article last year questioning 379 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 1: why the Ravens bypassed or when James in the first round, 380 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: and now look at the two thousand and eight teen 381 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,199 Speaker 1: draft class of the Baltimore Ravens. It's got to be 382 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: one of the best of the last decade. Despite taking 383 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: Hayden Hurst first. Right, you get Lamar Jackson, you've got 384 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl tight end, and Mark Andrews, you've got 385 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: two offensive line starters, and then your first pick is 386 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: your backup tight end, Hayden Hurst. That's uh. We should 387 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: mention their Their defense just quickly has is one of 388 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: the reasons why I think they're they're the favorites for 389 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,479 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl at this point. And John Harbor had 390 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: a good quote when they asked me, you know they're 391 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: the best team. He said, that doesn't exist. There is 392 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: no best team. In November. They they decide that at 393 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 1: the end of February said downstairs that your daughter said that. 394 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: When I was sitting at my cubicle work, I said, 395 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: I'm going to miss that to my daughter, and I 396 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 1: thought your daughter said it. I was thinking to myself, like, wow, insightful, 397 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: I said, she's Ellis's. Ellis is fixated on who's the 398 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 1: best team in the league that week. Well, the forty 399 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: Niners and the Patriots have right, Well who's better? Well, 400 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: how could the Ravens be better if they were? And 401 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 1: Harba said it, Well, he's like, there is no best 402 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: team right now. That we got to determine that in February, 403 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: and so they just have to keep this rolling. They 404 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 1: have to get that one. So she was able to 405 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: discern who was the better team last night, I hope, 406 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: oh yeah. And also hardball is not mad enough to say, 407 00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: but if you want to know who the best team is, 408 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 1: you go check out nfl dot com slash Power rankings. Oh, 409 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 1: of course, there you go. We could disagree with whatever 410 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: you cooked up there before we moved on. That was 411 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: not the only exclusive that Kesha got. Less really, there 412 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 1: is something she got just for the three of you 413 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: and our loyal listeners. Do we have that? We've got it? 414 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 1: What's NFL and courts?

What an honor. I know, I know. Um. So, 417 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: we've got a lot of football to get to. We've 418 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: got the Bengals announcing that Andy Dalton is now poof 419 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 1: all of a sudden their starting quarterback again a couple 420 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: of weeks too late. So I don't They're hot mess. 421 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: And another hot mess is the Rams getting their butts kicked. 422 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 1: That was a little embarrassing for you tonight, Ravens. Oh 423 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: they're so good, Lamar Jackson, so good? Why you gotta 424 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: do us like that on Monday Night football?

I don't know, like 492 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: he's not really drinking wine and stuff like that, and 493 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: I and I got flustered when you asked me, you 494 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 1: know what. Simona asked that question too, because I kept saying, like, 495 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: he's just been so nice about like getting any little thing. 496 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: But let's say that it's not I'm not even thinking 497 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: of that way You're I have one larger question because 498 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 1: I think the bigger issue here the shield is going 499 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: to be theoretically down a member, like that's something dance. 500 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: How about the company's softball team. You're talking to company's 501 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: softball team, not not the NFL at large, because Roger 502 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: Rock is keeping keeping these two that he was making 503 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: them go to HR meetings and declare their love forever. 504 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: I don't know what that was about, and a headache 505 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: for you to deal. Well, the timing is a little selfish, 506 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 1: I'll put it out. I was starting catching my starting 507 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: third base and procreating and when the playoffs are happening, 508 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: But We'll figure that terrific terrific timing though an offseason baby, 509 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 1: that's the way to do it. It's tasteful. The baby 510 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 1: is doing late in May late May, right there, right 511 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 1: as has been predicted for years. I think we just 512 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: wrapped the show, and what do we do, bears Lion, 513 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,120 Speaker 1: It's like, let's really break down that drisk cultur whisky matchup. 514 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: Uh and guess what, guys, that's the road to victory 515 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: presented by the United States. I mean, the Marines just 516 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 1: got their money is worth for the entire season. A 517 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: lot of Marines come back from service and they get 518 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 1: right to work, you know, and there's kids that you know, 519 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 1: pop out nine months later. That's what they do. And 520 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: that's what's that's similar to what's happened here. Wows how 521 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: about that pipe still operational? That's good? My boys can swim? 522 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: What news? And I like you you guys dropped like 523 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: an a bomb in the middle of the show because 524 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: that even adds more. I mean, right, because you really 525 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: you if case is still there, she built it up, 526 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 1: she built up to it. You started talking about Jared 527 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: Goff's like third down, you know, throws like that timing 528 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: is not really there with Kipper Butuck Cupp speaking of timings. 529 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: Awesome alright, and another boy, Wow, that's that's gonna give. 530 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: We got a roster coming together here. We now have 531 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: the replacement podcast lined up set to go unbelievable. All right, 532 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 1: let's let's try to move on from that, uh and 533 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: and talk about Yes, you know that, some people say 534 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. Bill Belichick learned it from Bill Parcel. Found 535 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 1: the official quote. By the way, after Thanksgiving. The football 536 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: season doesn't start until after Thanks you, and that is 537 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: Bill Parcel. That's part that's Belichick, and Belichick says it 538 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: quite a bit. You know what, I know you love Belichick, 539 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: but Belichick learned at the knee of parcelves. I don't 540 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: think Parcels gets enough love anymore. I think it's all 541 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: Belichick now. And I don't know. I guess I'm a 542 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 1: big tun a guy. I'm with you. It's just that 543 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 1: Belichick's won like five more Super Bowls at this point. 544 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: So said, it was a time when they were viewed 545 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: as you can say a lot about build ourselves. Not 546 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: getting enough media attention. Doesn't seem like it, I said, love, 547 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: I understand that, all right. Anyway, Parcels Uh said it, 548 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: and you know again, we talked about him all the time, 549 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: Mike and the mad dog France. Tessa would powert whatever 550 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: his buddy at the racetrack, Parcels would say. So that 551 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: was kind of hammered into your head growing up in 552 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: the Tri State area that the playoffs begin after Thanksgiving. 553 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 1: So let's make some Thanksgiving predictions. West's last Thanksgiving, uh 554 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: where he's not a father. Oh what a year you 555 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 1: got coming up West, both for the good and the great. 556 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: And there's already been a lot of reckoning going on 557 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 1: in my mind. It's it's changing. It's gonna change everything, Chris, 558 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: I you've seen it all around you. But until you're 559 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,959 Speaker 1: actually in the s. As the Marines say, best advice 560 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: I got and give is don't do any preparation. Don't 561 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: even think about it too much. There's nothing you can do. 562 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: It all be a waste of time anyways, So just 563 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 1: enjoy support Lakisha and everything she needs, and enjoy the 564 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: time until it's it's here. I take a couple of 565 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: road trips. I'd get away and do that, but there's 566 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: a catch there. We did the baby moon as they 567 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 1: call it, um Emily and I just heard about It's 568 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 1: all problematic because one of the best things about being 569 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: married and being young and married and having not a 570 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: ton of responsibilities before kids is your wife is like 571 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 1: your best drinking buddy, and you go to these things. 572 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: Lakisha going out of action for almost a year, it's 573 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: not great, it's and it will make it less fun 574 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: not being able to, you know, cut loose with her, 575 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: and you'll miss that. All of this is true. But 576 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: I think um, our friends, Lakisha and I our friends 577 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: know that we're not two people who really went through 578 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: our twenties and thirties, and you have to worry that 579 00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 1: they didn't really live it up enough. We lived it 580 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: up plenty. You could also bring Greg on your baby moon. 581 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: I just that's that would be effective. Um. And then 582 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 1: my my one other thought, Greg's right, there's no way 583 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 1: to prepare for it. You just got to be in it. 584 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: But what the real ropadope, like the Tom Brady level ropadope, 585 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: is the first like week two weeks, when you got 586 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: family helping and the your you know, the mothers has 587 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: their hands full obviously literally, UM, it seems like, oh 588 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: I don't have that much This doesn't change so much. 589 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 1: It's when the family leaves town and then it's just 590 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: the three of you in the house and things get real. Yeah, 591 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 1: the baby goes, also the baby. It begins by sleeping 592 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 1: for like seven and a half hours. I remember reading, 593 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 1: ripping through mystery novels and texting all my friends with 594 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: kids being like, you guys are ridiculous. This is so 595 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: easy a lot of me time than it all changed. 596 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 1: So we we've been told it's over for the Westley, 597 00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: but it's also the best thing that will ever happen 598 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 1: to want to make that clear as well. All right, 599 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: let's get to it. The season doesn't start till Thanksgiving, 600 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 1: So Mark, give us a prediction for the twenty nineteen season, 601 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: which is just beginning on Sunday. How do I follow 602 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 1: anything that happened with it with this? But um, I've 603 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: got like fifteen predictions on this page. But this is 604 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 1: the one that's burning into my eyes as I read it, 605 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: because I I believe this is going to be a 606 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: thing that's going to become something that gets thrown into 607 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: Patriots lore. Tom Brady going out and winning first round 608 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: playoff games is at this point a snooze fest to 609 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: the viewer if you're of a certain age, because you've 610 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: seen it happen, well, their first their initial games, or 611 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 1: let's see, even if it were in this case, you 612 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: know you've got all the teams in the f C. 613 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 1: They're opening salvo in the playoffs is typically a beat 614 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 1: down that just goes the way you'd predict, or it's close, 615 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 1: you can pitch it as close, but it's not. This time. 616 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 1: It's going to be very different because there's going to 617 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: be a minor tick or a fly in the appointment. 618 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: I should say, Okay, it's not it's not gonna be 619 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 1: something that that would be worse takes a very dangerous uh. 620 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 1: But if you're you're gonna lose Tom Brady for one 621 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: playoff game, it's not gonna be extremely serious. Where like 622 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 1: I'm bringing back the mark point is actually like the 623 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: fourth gaming Mark Sessler injuring it. This is going to 624 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 1: Jared stood him into the lineup with very little pre 625 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: up practice time. It's gonna happen like on a Thursday 626 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: or something. Okay, and you're gonna have to suddenly Patriots 627 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 1: fans are gonna be freaking out. Scott Zola is gonna 628 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: be freaking out. Everyone's gonna be thinking this is how 629 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: they finally got us. But he is going to author 630 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 1: one of the most creative, interesting, unbelievable Patriots first playoff 631 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: games of their season, wins and so long. It will 632 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: feel fresh and new to Patriots fans, and Brady will 633 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 1: come back the next week. Not anything that would surprise me. 634 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 1: In fact, he Belichick is on that um all Time 635 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,239 Speaker 1: you know, top one hundred team NFL Network special that's 636 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: going on right now every Friday, every Friday, and he 637 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 1: just it's with Rich Eyes and Belichick, and he just 638 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,399 Speaker 1: said his philosophy and he's he's the classic I read 639 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 1: The Art of War moved by Shinzoo, what is the author? 640 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 1: And he said that the whole thing he broke it 641 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: down to is exposing and exploiting your enemies weaknesses and 642 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 1: playing to your strengths. That's what he would do in 643 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 1: that case, and he'd find a way to protect that quarterback. 644 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:41,919 Speaker 1: And so it wouldn't shock me at all. What would 645 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 1: shock me as the Tom Brady got hurt because he 646 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: really he doesn't miss games other than that one season. 647 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 1: That uh, that Belichick quote, which which was telling I 648 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: I thought it was he prefaced it by saying, I 649 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,280 Speaker 1: I always think there's a way to win, Like every 650 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,919 Speaker 1: game is winnable. You just have to figure out base 651 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 1: how to attack their weaknesses and make your strengths better. 652 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: I mean that's what's doing it for the Patriots right now, 653 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,759 Speaker 1: right because they're not that good. I think like a 654 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 1: lot like you to a lot like the Oh three 655 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 1: and and certainly the one team. It would cap off 656 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 1: a regular season where you could say they're they're they're short, 657 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 1: and a lot of positions to have a backup of 658 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,320 Speaker 1: all people win one playoff? Is this the elbow injury 659 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 1: that put him on the injury reporting I'm not because 660 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 1: if I here's the thing, if this happens, and it 661 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 1: will happen, let's start right there, and I predict the 662 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 1: wrong body part, it seems like you didn't really get 663 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 1: the prediction right. So I'm just gonna say Tom Brady 664 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,719 Speaker 1: will not be careful not to say divisional round. It 665 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,399 Speaker 1: looks pretty safe, will get a bye. Say their first 666 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 1: playoff game, Jared Stidham's in there and he pulls off, 667 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 1: and it's not just because he hands the ball of 668 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:47,399 Speaker 1: six hundred four times. He's gonna do something find me up. Well. 669 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: I also have a Patriots prediction. Okay, it's a little 670 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 1: bit different the current iteration of the Patriots, a team 671 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,400 Speaker 1: which I find to be just a tad overrated nationally 672 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:01,439 Speaker 1: as a Thanksgiving or about to embark on a three 673 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:06,800 Speaker 1: game panic inducing losing streak, climaxing with Week fifteen climax 674 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 1: indeed on the Cincinnati John about the resurgent Andy Dalton 675 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: led Bengals about to lose their vice grip on the 676 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,320 Speaker 1: number one pick with a J. Green and John Ross healthy, 677 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 1: we're moving the balls in an upset victory over the Patriots, 678 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,359 Speaker 1: which will be the third straight loss in a row. 679 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 1: This would be losing at Houston. No, they wouldn't in 680 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 1: that case home for Kansas City and then the kicker 681 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 1: they lose too. Uh. Zach Taylor's boys, Zach Taylor took 682 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 1: found a way to win the bold the bold prediction 683 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 1: that is the next two weeks. I actually believe that 684 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 1: though just trying to think. No, I really think that 685 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,319 Speaker 1: the Patriots are I said, a tan overrated. I think 686 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,839 Speaker 1: the way people are talking about them as if they're 687 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,960 Speaker 1: the favorites in the a f C. Still that team, 688 00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 1: that team ended in that team ended in mid October. 689 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,800 Speaker 1: They haven't played at that level and I just don't 690 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,239 Speaker 1: see them playing that way. And I do think if 691 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,720 Speaker 1: you get Andy Dalton, John Ross and A J. Greenback 692 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 1: for the Bengals, that's not the same team you're playing 693 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 1: against that you think you were playing against. West. That 694 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:17,920 Speaker 1: prediction topped your news from earlier in the show. I thought, so, um, 695 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 1: I really don't think the Patriots or who people think 696 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 1: they are, they're winning with Bill Belichick in defense, and 697 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,560 Speaker 1: they're not winning with Tom Brady and offense. From your 698 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,959 Speaker 1: old lips to God as my friends, right, but they 699 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,879 Speaker 1: isn't Bill Belichick. I mean the defense has been that's 700 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 1: been enough, that's been good. I'm January Willie. I'm saying 701 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:37,040 Speaker 1: that the luck of winning these close games where you're 702 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 1: just out coaching everybody, I don't think you can count 703 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:40,279 Speaker 1: on that every week. You can see it getting to 704 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 1: Cincinnati with two losses Texans Chiefs, that's not Yeah, they're 705 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,960 Speaker 1: they're in Houston. And then aren't you the one who 706 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 1: always says any NFL team can beat any other inn 707 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,280 Speaker 1: three three in a row from ten and one would 708 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 1: be a would be a steep fall. I still think 709 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,439 Speaker 1: they're playing as a top firal all the top six 710 00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,560 Speaker 1: or seven team in the NFL. I'm with you. I 711 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,720 Speaker 1: don't think there's In fact, I would say the opposite. 712 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 1: I think the conventional wisdom is maybe they're not one 713 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 1: of the five best teams in the NFL right now, 714 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,279 Speaker 1: at least like watching Good Morning Football and stuff like that. 715 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 1: I think that's what Twitter thinks. But I think that's 716 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,480 Speaker 1: what a base that's based on Walker has become a 717 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 1: huge g MFB fan. None of them think yeah that, 718 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 1: And I don't blame them, Like in power rankings, it's like, 719 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,719 Speaker 1: you know, five six, that's it's about. I think people 720 00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 1: see I don't watch the Wednesday hands this hit but 721 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:28,399 Speaker 1: otherwise great program. Well that's too early, I think. How 722 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,520 Speaker 1: early are you on there? Oh it's about six thirty. 723 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,719 Speaker 1: Yeah we're not. We're not. We're not watching TV at 724 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 1: six thirty. S um here. The thing that hurts is 725 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,839 Speaker 1: that the Patriots could lose three games in a row 726 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 1: and still get a bye. They could clean it up 727 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,279 Speaker 1: and go twelve and four, and that might be good enough. 728 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,080 Speaker 1: Uh well quite possibly would would be Well the Chiefs, Yeah, 729 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,240 Speaker 1: the Chiefs would have a chance to pass them certainly, 730 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 1: so one of those losses would be to Kansas City, 731 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,920 Speaker 1: another team. Houston teams changed constantly throughout a season, and 732 00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 1: I could see them going on a three game losing 733 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 1: streak and then rebounding, figuring out some things about their 734 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,239 Speaker 1: offense and better hold like how they're looking now. That 735 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 1: at the Patriots fan doesn't worry me too much other 736 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,960 Speaker 1: than they need to get things in place for like 737 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 1: the three one game tournaments, as as Belichick would think 738 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 1: about it, that that they hope to play. Let's go 739 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 1: down to the Big d Uh and talk about what's 740 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:22,400 Speaker 1: going on with the Cowboys. And I thought Jerry Jones, 741 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:27,040 Speaker 1: I understand that he part of He's a Carnival barker 742 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 1: on some level. He loves to get out there and 743 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:33,360 Speaker 1: and make headlines and be the center of attention. But 744 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:38,279 Speaker 1: this feels a little different. After another disappointing Cowboys lost 745 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,319 Speaker 1: their second in three weeks. Let's listen to a little 746 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:44,320 Speaker 1: bit of what Jara had to say, uh this week. 747 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 1: You know, with a lot of criticism around Jason Garrett 748 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,439 Speaker 1: the coaching staff, that Cowboys are very disappointing six and five. 749 00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 1: When you're general manager of which I am, Uh those 750 00:39:55,040 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 1: coaches are out there at my ultimate decision and so uh, 751 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:08,800 Speaker 1: just as uh I should and do expect our fans 752 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 1: to want to ask in a situation like that, questions 753 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:19,919 Speaker 1: regarding of how we perform. It's very much within my 754 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:26,880 Speaker 1: realm of uh per view, if you will, to basically 755 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,040 Speaker 1: not only be standing there as an owner, but be 756 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 1: standing there as the general manager that put the staff 757 00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:37,920 Speaker 1: together to begin with. And so uh it's people seem 758 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:44,680 Speaker 1: to think that it's uh particularly harsh to have criticism uh. 759 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 1: And they think that when you look the other side 760 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,359 Speaker 1: of the field and call a job well done, that 761 00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:55,919 Speaker 1: that might mean that that's extraordinary criticism of the job 762 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,120 Speaker 1: that you've done over on the other side of the field, 763 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:03,600 Speaker 1: which is which is me alright, So can we get 764 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 1: more of that please? By the way, By the way, 765 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:12,440 Speaker 1: it does remind at no point in your rambling reminds 766 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,880 Speaker 1: me of our early days. Mark on the copy desk 767 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,319 Speaker 1: at NFL dot com. He was the best person to 768 00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:23,000 Speaker 1: transcribe because he spoke so slowly that you be able 769 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,680 Speaker 1: to type it out in real time and and have 770 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 1: a really good, uh, you know, a copy in front 771 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,960 Speaker 1: of you without have some guys mumble or talk really quick. 772 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:35,640 Speaker 1: You gotta take the recorder and move it down to speed. 773 00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:39,520 Speaker 1: Not him isn't half speed. Essentially, you never know where 774 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,440 Speaker 1: to put a punctuation mark there Like that seemed to 775 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:46,600 Speaker 1: just be one sentence kept I fell asleep at one point, 776 00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:48,840 Speaker 1: I have to say. But the point that I'm getting 777 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,160 Speaker 1: to in my prediction is that I believe Jason Garrett 778 00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,600 Speaker 1: has used up the last of his nine lives. I 779 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:58,440 Speaker 1: think there's a tonal shift going on there. Jarrah is 780 00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:02,879 Speaker 1: he is not going to be tarra firma, uh infinitely. 781 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,880 Speaker 1: He time is running out, and you you sense that 782 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,280 Speaker 1: the Jones family thinks they have something special with this roster, 783 00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,160 Speaker 1: and with some of the way the games have played 784 00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:16,879 Speaker 1: out that it maybe finally Jerry Jones is coming around 785 00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:18,720 Speaker 1: to what a lot of other people on the outside 786 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,200 Speaker 1: of thought for a long time. Greg, You've been particularly 787 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,080 Speaker 1: vocal on this front that Jason Garrett is a major 788 00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:28,799 Speaker 1: problem for the Cowboys, and right now, if the the 789 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 1: old season ended today, they would be in as the 790 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 1: fourth seed um and have a division title. They have 791 00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,440 Speaker 1: to at least do that, and I think I think 792 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,399 Speaker 1: it's gonna win a playoff game, and I don't think 793 00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,560 Speaker 1: it happens. So I think Jason Garrett gets fired. Uh 794 00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:50,240 Speaker 1: come black Monday, um this this year. That is my prediction, 795 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,239 Speaker 1: and a lot of people have been predicting that for 796 00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,640 Speaker 1: five years now. But I just have a bit of 797 00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,839 Speaker 1: a feeling making the playoffs. No, they might even make 798 00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,520 Speaker 1: the playoffs. You get whacked in a while, whacked in 799 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:04,279 Speaker 1: the wild card. And I had something similar that I 800 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,719 Speaker 1: thought that Garrett and that rule takes over. I could 801 00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:10,279 Speaker 1: see him potentially being gone before the season ends. If 802 00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:13,400 Speaker 1: this continues a pace and if they collapse, if they collapse, 803 00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,279 Speaker 1: let's start. Let's say they lost to the Bills on 804 00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,520 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving and it totally collapsed. And because my dream would 805 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,080 Speaker 1: be because I think when he fired Jimmy Johnson, the 806 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,319 Speaker 1: back part of Jerry Johnson's brain or Jerry Jimmy Jones, 807 00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,400 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones sprain, where is my brain? I thought I 808 00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,760 Speaker 1: could coach this team. I would love to see Jerry 809 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,840 Speaker 1: Jones step in and try to coach the Cowboys for 810 00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:38,200 Speaker 1: one game in Week seventeen and then turn around and 811 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,560 Speaker 1: either try to get Kellen Moore Christopher Shard, but if 812 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:44,080 Speaker 1: that doesn't work, make a strong run at lowering Tony 813 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,120 Speaker 1: Romo out of the booth to coach the Cowboys next season. 814 00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:53,360 Speaker 1: I do think, uh, it's insane that there had to 815 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:57,640 Speaker 1: be sources on multiple networks saying, uh that they're not 816 00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:01,440 Speaker 1: considering making a change before the thanksgive In game. I 817 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,040 Speaker 1: was like, Wow, that that had to be something that 818 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,240 Speaker 1: you wanted to that the team wanted to put out there. Well, 819 00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:08,680 Speaker 1: you know, maybe if it was like we didn't have 820 00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,000 Speaker 1: a game till Sunday, that would be a possibility. But 821 00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,560 Speaker 1: it's a short week. Let's not make any coach changes. 822 00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:17,200 Speaker 1: We talked about this exact conversation before the season, and 823 00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:19,319 Speaker 1: I think we settled on at least I know I 824 00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:24,160 Speaker 1: was saying it's NFC Conference championship game or bust. I 825 00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,120 Speaker 1: don't think that's changed. I do think there's a chance 826 00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,680 Speaker 1: Christoph Shard gets elevated in that way. You keep telling 827 00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,000 Speaker 1: more and it's not too big of a shakeup. I 828 00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:35,040 Speaker 1: think we're all trapped in Week thirteen, and if you 829 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,080 Speaker 1: look at this team one and look at their schedule, 830 00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,799 Speaker 1: they're much more likely to win out. I agree with that. 831 00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:42,640 Speaker 1: I I mean I agree that I think they're going 832 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,319 Speaker 1: to make the playoffs and be a dangerous team in 833 00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,120 Speaker 1: that in the playoffs, but it's they've beaten one team 834 00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,480 Speaker 1: with a winning records, tough to get to a conference championship. 835 00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:52,480 Speaker 1: Just say, you look at their team, you look at 836 00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,279 Speaker 1: the roster, you look at the fact that every game 837 00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,040 Speaker 1: has been close, even I mean the losses have all 838 00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:00,440 Speaker 1: been closed. This this team is much more likely to 839 00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,799 Speaker 1: beat the Bills, Bears, Rams, Eagles, and Redskins then for 840 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,360 Speaker 1: it to But that's not gonna be enough for a bye. 841 00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,959 Speaker 1: So they will have to win not just a tough 842 00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,080 Speaker 1: home playoff game, but they're gonna have to win on 843 00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,879 Speaker 1: the road, likely against you know, either a forty nine 844 00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:15,920 Speaker 1: Ers or a Saints type of team to get to 845 00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:19,040 Speaker 1: that kind uns. You've been pounding the table for the 846 00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:22,359 Speaker 1: Cowboys all season, and I get it, and a lot 847 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,720 Speaker 1: of like the analytics back it all up. Uh, but yeah, 848 00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:28,960 Speaker 1: I haven't seen enough consistency. I can't even put this 849 00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:32,120 Speaker 1: Buffalo game in the win colform and imagine what happens 850 00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,919 Speaker 1: if they lose on Thursday, the the drama that would 851 00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:39,520 Speaker 1: ensue following. Totally understand that sentiment, and that makes more 852 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:42,080 Speaker 1: logical sense. I just have an intuition that this team 853 00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:43,719 Speaker 1: is better than that, all right, We're gonna get to 854 00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,040 Speaker 1: find out. And one last note. Jane Slater friend of 855 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,000 Speaker 1: the pod of NFL Network, and she covers the Cowboys 856 00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,520 Speaker 1: uh in an excellent fashion for us. She was on 857 00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:56,360 Speaker 1: our airways on NFL Now earlier today and had some 858 00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,080 Speaker 1: really strong comments. She said that there was quote blood 859 00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,080 Speaker 1: in the water at Cowboys headquarters. She's covered the team 860 00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,520 Speaker 1: for a while now, that Jerry Jones was uncomfortable to 861 00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:07,040 Speaker 1: listen to for people, that it's their job to listen 862 00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:11,080 Speaker 1: to them. And also a source told Slater, Uh, regarding 863 00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:14,360 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, it's too early to sink the ship and 864 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:20,400 Speaker 1: too late to fix it. The Marines don't like that situation, Greg, 865 00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,800 Speaker 1: and they they need uh, they need a general manager 866 00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,120 Speaker 1: that doesn't act like a fan. That's what I would say, 867 00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:30,200 Speaker 1: that doesn't get so emotionally, you know, wrapped up in things. 868 00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:32,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with another team that I think is 869 00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,520 Speaker 1: better than their record, like the Cowboys, the Kansas City Chiefs, 870 00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:37,919 Speaker 1: and my predictions just that they're not gonna lose another game, 871 00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,959 Speaker 1: uh for the regular season. And heck uh, I didn't 872 00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:43,560 Speaker 1: know we were stretching this in the playoff let's just 873 00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:45,319 Speaker 1: make it through the playoffs, you know, let's let's say 874 00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,600 Speaker 1: go and win a ship. I think they can. I 875 00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:52,120 Speaker 1: really like this team. I think their regular season run 876 00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,400 Speaker 1: is not crazy to pull that off. Winning in Foxboro 877 00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:59,520 Speaker 1: is certainly the toughest UH game that they're gonna have. 878 00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,520 Speaker 1: Winning the rest of their regular season games will not 879 00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,080 Speaker 1: get them a bye. Most likely, they would need the 880 00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:08,880 Speaker 1: Patriots to lose UH three times. Or that's happening, right, 881 00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:10,719 Speaker 1: that's that is happening. I want you to lock them up. 882 00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,239 Speaker 1: They had lock up the Texans, so you're so your 883 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:17,279 Speaker 1: belief this week? Um, and they or they would need 884 00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,520 Speaker 1: the Ravens to lose twice. That doesn't seem like that's 885 00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,719 Speaker 1: gonna happen either. So it's gonna be a tough road 886 00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:25,040 Speaker 1: for Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid. But I do think 887 00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 1: they are right there to me with the Ravens and 888 00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:33,440 Speaker 1: the forty niners. And I guess you'd throw the Saints 889 00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:35,640 Speaker 1: and the Patriots maybe just a little bit below them 890 00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:37,839 Speaker 1: as like one of the Super Bowl favorite. Had they 891 00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:39,920 Speaker 1: have they haven't totally shown if I think now they will. 892 00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:43,240 Speaker 1: So Ravens do play the Browns and Jets, so Greg 893 00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:46,360 Speaker 1: your dream is alive with their run defense, can't you. 894 00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:50,640 Speaker 1: Edil Lamar Jackson just absolutely and mark Ingram absolutely destroying 895 00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,600 Speaker 1: this team. I mean they dominated. They dominated the Ravens 896 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:55,239 Speaker 1: first of all, like that that was a game that 897 00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,600 Speaker 1: they won convincingly. That Lamar Jackson probably played one of 898 00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,759 Speaker 1: his worst game. You know, we they I hear you, 899 00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,080 Speaker 1: but I hear you. But I'm just saying like that 900 00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:08,399 Speaker 1: is something that happened. I also think run defense, it 901 00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,920 Speaker 1: would be a big time problem for them, but it's 902 00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:12,560 Speaker 1: a problem for a lot of these good teams, like 903 00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:15,080 Speaker 1: the Patriots don't have the best run defense. The Ravens 904 00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,440 Speaker 1: don't have the best run defense, don't have the best 905 00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:19,480 Speaker 1: run defense. Maybe they match up well against all of them. 906 00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,440 Speaker 1: Ravens offense is a problem for any defense that've ever 907 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:24,920 Speaker 1: played football, right exactly. My point is, I think the 908 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,080 Speaker 1: Chiefs are gonna play to their talent level and it's 909 00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,640 Speaker 1: a much better defense, uh this year than it was 910 00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,080 Speaker 1: a year ago, and the offense should be ready to 911 00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:34,799 Speaker 1: soar and that they're gonna come into the playoffs as 912 00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:37,600 Speaker 1: that proverbial team. No one wants to things, especially the 913 00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:40,120 Speaker 1: Ravens are Patriots in the divisional route will be really 914 00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 1: interesting if those two teams get to buy like kind 915 00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:45,200 Speaker 1: of how that all shakes. That Kansas City schedule. If 916 00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:48,040 Speaker 1: they can knock off New England is very manageable. And 917 00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:51,160 Speaker 1: the two games that the Baltimore Ravens lost, they were 918 00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:52,880 Speaker 1: two into at one point, which is crazy, and I 919 00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,400 Speaker 1: get that it's like in the Mesozoic era at this point. 920 00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:58,680 Speaker 1: But what happened was they got down early in those games, 921 00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:02,040 Speaker 1: and that that that's the one thing every any team 922 00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:04,440 Speaker 1: in the league. When you're up, everything is maximized. But 923 00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:06,399 Speaker 1: if you could, if you're the Chiefs and you could 924 00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,520 Speaker 1: somehow build an early lead, which they're explosed, or the 925 00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:12,000 Speaker 1: forty Niners more to the point, this week, two teams 926 00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:13,680 Speaker 1: that are really good playing from a head. And it's 927 00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,959 Speaker 1: not just because of the running game. It's partly because 928 00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:19,240 Speaker 1: they're both of their defenses. The Ravens and the forty 929 00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:23,320 Speaker 1: are so good with blitzes and just winning against the 930 00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,200 Speaker 1: past versus the run. That's one of the reasons the 931 00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,680 Speaker 1: Ravens defense has been so much better. Have the Chiefs 932 00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:29,840 Speaker 1: and the Cowboys kind of in a similar club for 933 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,239 Speaker 1: me where I believe in both of those teams at 934 00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,920 Speaker 1: a certain point, they need to really get hot and 935 00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:36,799 Speaker 1: win four or five games in a row to show 936 00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:40,359 Speaker 1: everyone that they are indeed a badass team. So let's 937 00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:42,520 Speaker 1: see if one or both of those teams can pull 938 00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:45,000 Speaker 1: it off. I have the exact same prediction as Greg, 939 00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,480 Speaker 1: except I did not have the stones to put them 940 00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:50,440 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. I have them winning out the 941 00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,200 Speaker 1: regular season, advancing to the a f C Title Game 942 00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:55,480 Speaker 1: against the Ravens and the most anticipated a f C 943 00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,320 Speaker 1: Title Game matchup. I didn't really even either. I didn't 944 00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:00,480 Speaker 1: know what I thought. This was a regular Sea Sason thing. 945 00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:02,759 Speaker 1: And then Bartlett asked me, does that mean they don't 946 00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:05,920 Speaker 1: lose for the whole rest of the season. Bag for 947 00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,759 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. So he's like, all right, that's a great segment. Mark, 948 00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:13,520 Speaker 1: give us one more, quick one. Let's see here, he's 949 00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:15,799 Speaker 1: got a highlighter all over that page. Quick one, Mark, 950 00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:19,560 Speaker 1: here we go. The Seahawks win the NFC West and 951 00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:23,720 Speaker 1: the forty Niners lose in the first round of the playoffs. Okay, 952 00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:27,120 Speaker 1: I have a Seahawks as well that they will be 953 00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:32,239 Speaker 1: the first team since the Tennessee Titoons. There were the 954 00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:34,560 Speaker 1: Titans back then when men were men. Whatever happened to 955 00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:37,680 Speaker 1: Gary Cooper? The first team since the nine and nine 956 00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,160 Speaker 1: Titans the A thirteen and three and be a wild 957 00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,160 Speaker 1: card team because I think the Niners and the Saints 958 00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:47,120 Speaker 1: we'll hold onto those uh first two spots and get 959 00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:50,120 Speaker 1: its been that long. I could be wrong, but I 960 00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:53,359 Speaker 1: did some quick googling. The Chargers had a chance last year, 961 00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:57,200 Speaker 1: but then they they they lost at the end. Um, 962 00:50:57,239 --> 00:51:01,440 Speaker 1: All right, good stuff. Let's get to the Thanksgiving game previews. 963 00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:03,840 Speaker 1: Let's go and order, starting with the early game. A 964 00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,720 Speaker 1: bit of a snoozer. What was a trip defen Hey, 965 00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:11,319 Speaker 1: you know you know that turkey and you have taken nap. Well, 966 00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:14,680 Speaker 1: this is before the turkey. It's am on the West coast. 967 00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:17,920 Speaker 1: Sweet social media content. Trip to fan jokes. Trip to 968 00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:21,560 Speaker 1: fan jokes are hot this time of year. The Bears 969 00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:25,880 Speaker 1: travel to Detroit to face the Lions, and uh uh, 970 00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,200 Speaker 1: you know this is this is a dangerous spot here 971 00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:32,720 Speaker 1: for Matt Patricia in a nationally televised game. The team 972 00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:36,640 Speaker 1: that's lost I believe, six of their last seven h 973 00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:41,680 Speaker 1: and they're surrendering twenty nine points nearly per game. So 974 00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,879 Speaker 1: the defense stinks. He's the defensive minded coach, and now 975 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,880 Speaker 1: with Matt Stafford on the shelf and potentially you know, 976 00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:50,200 Speaker 1: there's rumblings that he'll be heading to i R at 977 00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:52,879 Speaker 1: some point. He's done for the year. Jeff Driscoll comes 978 00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:55,880 Speaker 1: down to Earth uh this week against the Redskins, So 979 00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:58,799 Speaker 1: things are really bad for the Lions and you and 980 00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,480 Speaker 1: you get the feeling if they can't beat the Bears, 981 00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:05,080 Speaker 1: who are coming off a win, UH, that Patricia's fate 982 00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:06,839 Speaker 1: will be close to seal. That's just kind of how 983 00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:09,560 Speaker 1: I think there are big stakes in this game organizationally 984 00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:16,040 Speaker 1: for the lines rough rough idea. If you don't you 985 00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:18,440 Speaker 1: don't have Jeff drisco playing in this game. He's fighting 986 00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:22,520 Speaker 1: a hamstring injury, and at that point, you know you've got, 987 00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:26,080 Speaker 1: you know, a big problem handing off to both Scarborough 988 00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:28,439 Speaker 1: and hoping that they can survive against this Bears defense. 989 00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:31,120 Speaker 1: I think Driscoll's played fine as as backup quarterbacks go. 990 00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:33,319 Speaker 1: He totally collapsed at the end of last week's game 991 00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:35,920 Speaker 1: against Washington, but he has been the problem. The defense 992 00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:39,280 Speaker 1: has been the problem, and Mitchell Drabinsky hasn't been quite 993 00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:41,399 Speaker 1: as bad the last couple of weeks. Still pretty bad, 994 00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:46,160 Speaker 1: Still long stretches where they're punting against bad defenses. And 995 00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,640 Speaker 1: he's even in his good games, he'll throw, you know, 996 00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:50,560 Speaker 1: one or two picks or one or two that should 997 00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:53,319 Speaker 1: be picked. But he hasn't been quite as bad, and 998 00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:56,120 Speaker 1: the Bears defense would seemingly be enough to just go 999 00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,360 Speaker 1: win the game by themselves anyways. Well, yeah, any Trabinsky 1000 00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,560 Speaker 1: progress is loaded with caveats. But we've seen in a 1001 00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:05,040 Speaker 1: couple of games in a row now stretches a couple 1002 00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:07,960 Speaker 1: of hot streaks. Yeah, hot streaks where the ball placement 1003 00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:11,200 Speaker 1: is pretty good and the accuracy is all right, you know, 1004 00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:13,279 Speaker 1: then it goes back. It's like, then it goes bad. 1005 00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:15,600 Speaker 1: It's like he has one or two bad throws and 1006 00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:18,280 Speaker 1: then he just is no longer confidence. Well, we're comparing 1007 00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:20,399 Speaker 1: him to how he looked a month or a month 1008 00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:23,000 Speaker 1: and a half ago, and I think it counts as 1009 00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:26,880 Speaker 1: some progress. I think it's a You say for the 1010 00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:29,759 Speaker 1: Lions that it's a game in a season that could 1011 00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:32,879 Speaker 1: lead to organizations. I think the same when you look 1012 00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:34,960 Speaker 1: at Ryan Pace, Because I I look at Bob Quinn 1013 00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:37,960 Speaker 1: GM of the Lions, Ryan Pace, GIM of the Bears, 1014 00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:40,759 Speaker 1: I'm not sure who has a better case to stay 1015 00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:44,000 Speaker 1: at this point after this season based on some major 1016 00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:45,680 Speaker 1: decisions that have been made over the course of the 1017 00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:49,000 Speaker 1: couple of years in Detroit. Lack of progress, but the 1018 00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:53,080 Speaker 1: Detroit to me as zero real home field advantage in 1019 00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:55,840 Speaker 1: these Thanksgiving games that they just don't but they have 1020 00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,000 Speaker 1: stopped the run and that's kind of been the recipe 1021 00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:00,399 Speaker 1: to cause some chaos for Chicago. The Ken not run 1022 00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:02,160 Speaker 1: the ball and maybe if you can get a player 1023 00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:05,800 Speaker 1: two off a Trabinsky a little bit of Detroit magic. 1024 00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:07,439 Speaker 1: It's crazy that this will be one of the most 1025 00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:11,400 Speaker 1: watched games of the year. The Chase Daniel when a 1026 00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:14,320 Speaker 1: year ago was the second most watched you know, football 1027 00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:16,920 Speaker 1: game all last season, and the and the most is 1028 00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:20,040 Speaker 1: the is the Cowboys game following it usually the Thanksgiving 1029 00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:22,799 Speaker 1: games like these. This is it and it's crazy that 1030 00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,479 Speaker 1: it could be not a great marketing tool to dance point, 1031 00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:28,240 Speaker 1: but it could be better. But I would never flex 1032 00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:31,400 Speaker 1: it out as I said, not anymore people of Detroit 1033 00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:34,640 Speaker 1: need this. People weren't they on a pretty They've been 1034 00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:38,120 Speaker 1: on a pretty nice winning streak in these Thanksgiving until 1035 00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:40,960 Speaker 1: not they lost last year. But in general, the Stafford 1036 00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,680 Speaker 1: Lions have been nice on Thanksgiving. I haven't been tirelessly 1037 00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:46,440 Speaker 1: tracking that stet. I tracked it. I tracked this very 1038 00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:48,399 Speaker 1: closely every year, and I talked about it every year. 1039 00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:52,400 Speaker 1: I love the halftime show in Detroit on Thanksgiving. You know, 1040 00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:55,080 Speaker 1: Mark rolled his eyes. But this is important because it's 1041 00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:59,680 Speaker 1: of course in third eye Blind played the halftime show 1042 00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:02,640 Speaker 1: about six or seven years ago. Speaking of our early 1043 00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,920 Speaker 1: NFL dot com days, Mark, remember there was some pushback 1044 00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:10,160 Speaker 1: about an early around the League post that was publicizing 1045 00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:13,680 Speaker 1: a petition that the people of Detroit were signing to 1046 00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:18,520 Speaker 1: get Nickelback kicked off the halftime show. Uh. For the 1047 00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:23,120 Speaker 1: Lions Thanksgiving game, well, this year, the brothers Osborne will 1048 00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:26,920 Speaker 1: be playing. I am not familiar with their material. One 1049 00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:28,719 Speaker 1: of them is chown, I would imagine, but they look 1050 00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,960 Speaker 1: like a couple of chill whites. One of them has 1051 00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:34,239 Speaker 1: got a cowboy hat. I'm gonna say country music. I'm 1052 00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:36,799 Speaker 1: gonna go they sound like rivals of the family Von 1053 00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:40,600 Speaker 1: Trap singers. By the way, the the starting quarterback for 1054 00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:44,520 Speaker 1: the Lions could be a man named David blow Uh. 1055 00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:46,719 Speaker 1: He's the only healthy guy on the roster. He was 1056 00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:52,280 Speaker 1: produced backup quarterback on David Fails. He was the backup, 1057 00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:56,680 Speaker 1: uh and led them to a big time winning give 1058 00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,000 Speaker 1: called copping a good job already he wasn't briefly on 1059 00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:03,960 Speaker 1: the Browns this off season and b l O U 1060 00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:08,879 Speaker 1: g H. Yeah, I don't know. The thing I found 1061 00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:11,680 Speaker 1: most interesting they tried to get Josh Johnson from the 1062 00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:15,759 Speaker 1: XFL this week to you know, potentially step in, which 1063 00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,319 Speaker 1: shows you maybe driscoll is not playing this game. Uh, 1064 00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:21,160 Speaker 1: the XFL didn't allow him out of his contract. L 1065 00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:24,799 Speaker 1: FL blocked it. There you go, flex those those steroid 1066 00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:29,840 Speaker 1: adult muscles. David Blow if I'm not mistaken, okay, sorry, 1067 00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:32,560 Speaker 1: he played okay in the preseason for Cleveland. I mean 1068 00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:34,640 Speaker 1: it was against you know, people that are now working 1069 00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:37,200 Speaker 1: at right eight. Please yeah, please don't tell me we're 1070 00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:41,720 Speaker 1: watching Dave Blow. That feels like emergency flex by the league. 1071 00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:44,919 Speaker 1: But fair enough, that's a jobs we're watching Dave Blow. 1072 00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:47,919 Speaker 1: That's a job. That's our jobs. Right. The last time 1073 00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:50,160 Speaker 1: we saw him was like in the deep reaches of 1074 00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:54,200 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter of preseason games. Total job watching good player. 1075 00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:57,640 Speaker 1: Good player started. He did become a starter at purduven. 1076 00:56:57,719 --> 00:56:59,840 Speaker 1: You know, he bounced back and forth, nice six and 1077 00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:02,000 Speaker 1: five season. All right, the second game in by far 1078 00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:05,280 Speaker 1: the best game on the Thanksgiving slate, the Buffalo Bills 1079 00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:10,080 Speaker 1: eight and three, coming off a couple of decisive wins, 1080 00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:13,160 Speaker 1: which we had wanted to see from this Bills team 1081 00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:15,279 Speaker 1: to actually go beat up on some teams, and they 1082 00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:17,240 Speaker 1: beat up on a couple of bad teams. And now 1083 00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:21,440 Speaker 1: they get the Cowboys in Dallas, and uh, this counts 1084 00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:23,760 Speaker 1: as a challenge for bold teams. US. This is a 1085 00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:27,440 Speaker 1: good game right here because the Bills with their defense 1086 00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:32,800 Speaker 1: which was incredible. I understand it was against the Broncos, 1087 00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:36,000 Speaker 1: but there was an incredible stat connected to the game 1088 00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:39,480 Speaker 1: that on the last five possessions for Denver, uh, they 1089 00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:43,400 Speaker 1: averaged I believe something like five inches per possession. UH 1090 00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:46,880 Speaker 1: So a total shutdown effort. Uh. And now the Cowboys, 1091 00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:50,040 Speaker 1: who got shut down by the Patriots and crappy conditions 1092 00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,520 Speaker 1: in New England. UH, if their offense as good as 1093 00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:55,200 Speaker 1: they uh as we believe them to be at home, 1094 00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:58,040 Speaker 1: this should be prime for a bounce back performance. But 1095 00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:00,640 Speaker 1: we'll find out. It will be inch sting to see 1096 00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:02,920 Speaker 1: how that matchup works out, because I was down on 1097 00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:05,960 Speaker 1: the Bills defense three weeks ago. Then they played the 1098 00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:09,320 Speaker 1: Woebegone Dolphins who had just lost like three of their 1099 00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:12,880 Speaker 1: best players on offense, and then they played the Broncos 1100 00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:17,000 Speaker 1: of Brandon Allen. So what do you do against the 1101 00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:18,840 Speaker 1: Cowboys who have been one or two in d v 1102 00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,720 Speaker 1: o A all year and now you're facing real talent. 1103 00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:24,400 Speaker 1: This is a test for the Bills defense, and really 1104 00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:26,080 Speaker 1: it's a test for the Cowboys to get off the 1105 00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:29,360 Speaker 1: snide as far as maybe not starting their offense until 1106 00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:32,439 Speaker 1: the second quarter of a game. You're waiting fifteen minutes 1107 00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:35,040 Speaker 1: to get into a game. You need to start from 1108 00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,680 Speaker 1: from past one and get out there and get an 1109 00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:39,480 Speaker 1: early league. What I'd like to see is because if 1110 00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:42,280 Speaker 1: you go up and down the schedule of the Dallas Cowboys, 1111 00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:46,080 Speaker 1: they haven't really faced a quarterback that provides like a 1112 00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:48,840 Speaker 1: mobile threat. They haven't dealt with that. And the Bills 1113 00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,560 Speaker 1: at least are leaning into as you pointed out after 1114 00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:54,880 Speaker 1: that Denver game, they're leaning into Josh Allen's powers on 1115 00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:57,640 Speaker 1: the ground. Why not do that all day long? And him, 1116 00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:00,760 Speaker 1: you know him with Devin Singletary and Frank or gives 1117 00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:03,000 Speaker 1: you something. And that's what I would do, is just 1118 00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:06,520 Speaker 1: lean into Josh Allen. He's such a dynamic athlete, but 1119 00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:09,120 Speaker 1: like you watch Lamar Jackson who knows how to avoid 1120 00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:11,840 Speaker 1: a hit and it's elusive. And you watch Josh Allen 1121 00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:14,520 Speaker 1: and he's fast, but he's a bunky, bucking bronco and 1122 00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:17,760 Speaker 1: he's just running into people and over people and through people. 1123 00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:20,800 Speaker 1: I'm not I wouldn't be comparing him to Lamar Jackson 1124 00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:22,440 Speaker 1: at this point, but you is fun to watch. You 1125 00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:24,600 Speaker 1: could lean into it. Part of the reason I think 1126 00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:26,720 Speaker 1: he stopped running or they stopped calling the places because 1127 00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:32,000 Speaker 1: he had a string of insanely poor fumbles wall scrambling 1128 00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:35,880 Speaker 1: and running, and I think they in key situations right, 1129 00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:39,440 Speaker 1: even insanely poor fumbles, like where it's like the he 1130 00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:42,080 Speaker 1: had a couple of times this year where all they 1131 00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:44,680 Speaker 1: had to do was not fumble and they win, and 1132 00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:47,640 Speaker 1: then Josh Allen fumbled and it raised some question whether 1133 00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:49,640 Speaker 1: you're gonna win or not. I like how Greg Paynton 1134 00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:54,840 Speaker 1: they literally only needed That's the thing. He's had his 1135 00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:56,640 Speaker 1: two best games of the year. He's running more. I 1136 00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:58,520 Speaker 1: think there's a lot to be excited. Their defense has 1137 00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:01,360 Speaker 1: been way more aggressive. You blitz as much, you know 1138 01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:04,400 Speaker 1: against this Cowboys offensive line, I don't know, but even 1139 01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:07,440 Speaker 1: in those good games that Allan's had. He still had 1140 01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:10,760 Speaker 1: a couple of throws. Uh that that he gives it 1141 01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:14,000 Speaker 1: opponent a chance to make a big interception. This Cowboys 1142 01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:16,120 Speaker 1: run defense, so I think it's very vulnerable if you 1143 01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:19,040 Speaker 1: watch them really last five or six weeks, but especially 1144 01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:21,800 Speaker 1: the last two weeks and now late and Vanderess being out. 1145 01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:23,080 Speaker 1: I think it is a big part of that. This 1146 01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:25,280 Speaker 1: is a This is a great game. I'm looking forward 1147 01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:27,560 Speaker 1: to this game because for two reasons. The Cowboys and 1148 01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:29,640 Speaker 1: we talked about it in a few minutes back. Uh, 1149 01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:32,400 Speaker 1: they're always great soapy theater. That's just it's fun. While 1150 01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,040 Speaker 1: you know they are a TV show, they really are, 1151 01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:37,439 Speaker 1: so to see it. What's gonna happen next, the next 1152 01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:42,680 Speaker 1: chapter for them? And then back to Josh Allen, who's 1153 01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:45,280 Speaker 1: got their ringer on? Not me, but I would imagine 1154 01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:48,840 Speaker 1: someone who's announced major life news in the middle of 1155 01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:51,800 Speaker 1: the live show their phone maybe ringing. Uh. This is 1156 01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:54,680 Speaker 1: a huge State States for Josh Allen, who I feel like, 1157 01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:57,920 Speaker 1: uh kind of is ever been in a relegated to 1158 01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:00,320 Speaker 1: the early games on Sunday. I feel like the Bills 1159 01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:03,800 Speaker 1: have played roughly seven thousand and one PM games. Uh, 1160 01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:07,040 Speaker 1: in the NFL since Jim Kelly retired, they don't get 1161 01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:10,280 Speaker 1: a lot of primetime games. So here we are Thanksgiving 1162 01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:12,440 Speaker 1: right in the middle. It's gonna be one of the 1163 01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:15,640 Speaker 1: highest rated games of the whole season. Josh Allen, are 1164 01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:18,160 Speaker 1: you good? Are you a guy that the Bills have 1165 01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:21,040 Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback? Uh? Well, A lot of people are 1166 01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:23,680 Speaker 1: gonna form opinions based on this game, whether that's fair enough. 1167 01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:26,400 Speaker 1: And if you're Jason Garrett, what happens when Jerry Jones 1168 01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:30,720 Speaker 1: watches you? Potentially out coached by Sean McDermott. McDermott's doing 1169 01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:32,960 Speaker 1: a great job, although he does make me nervous every 1170 01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:35,400 Speaker 1: once in a while. It's like he won't let Josh 1171 01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:37,360 Speaker 1: Allen throw a Hail Mary at the end of the 1172 01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:39,760 Speaker 1: first half. It's like, you got Josh Allen, let him 1173 01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:41,640 Speaker 1: throw the ball. They just decided to kneel on the 1174 01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:43,680 Speaker 1: ball with ten seconds left at the forty five year 1175 01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:46,320 Speaker 1: and it's like, I don't know, that's the point. I 1176 01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:49,040 Speaker 1: just like, why why that bothered? He at his heart, 1177 01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:52,320 Speaker 1: he's very conservative. I Uh. These are the two teams 1178 01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:54,320 Speaker 1: that all season their fans have been annoyed that they 1179 01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:56,800 Speaker 1: haven't beaten a good team, both of these teams, because 1180 01:01:56,840 --> 01:02:00,200 Speaker 1: neither one has beaten UH a winning team at the time. 1181 01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:02,240 Speaker 1: Now the Titans have a winning record, so that's the 1182 01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:05,400 Speaker 1: best win. Either one of those these teams is sad? 1183 01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:10,080 Speaker 1: Is that Buffalo one? Uh in Tennessee fourteen to seven? 1184 01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:12,600 Speaker 1: I mean, the Cowboys need it, they need it bad 1185 01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:15,320 Speaker 1: and Uh, I've got a question for the mirror committee 1186 01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:19,120 Speaker 1: as chiefs chiefs Raiders? Is that a is that not 1187 01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:22,840 Speaker 1: mirror worthy even though technically it's for first place? Because 1188 01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:25,560 Speaker 1: if that was, that's not No. I know, but I'm 1189 01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:28,479 Speaker 1: gonna lock up the Cowboys if if if you're saying 1190 01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:30,560 Speaker 1: what the desert say about Raiders, it would be it 1191 01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:33,560 Speaker 1: wouldn't pass the desert. You guys, ever understand the mirror. 1192 01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:35,880 Speaker 1: It's not our mirror, it's your. Yeah, it is yours, 1193 01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:38,120 Speaker 1: and you you believe in the desert, So I don't 1194 01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:41,520 Speaker 1: think you could you but have a mirror. Yeah, we've 1195 01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:43,480 Speaker 1: got a couple around the house. You ever look at 1196 01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:48,439 Speaker 1: it doesn't look like it now. It's like I never 1197 01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:50,760 Speaker 1: I think you've answered your own question. Yeah. If well, 1198 01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:53,040 Speaker 1: if one of you jumped on that, I could always jump. 1199 01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:56,600 Speaker 1: I have no problem with you taking Yeah, I'll go 1200 01:02:56,640 --> 01:03:00,600 Speaker 1: with the Cowboys then and lock that up in the 1201 01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:03,640 Speaker 1: cool Beasley Bowl. That's right. I think that's a fine lock. 1202 01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:07,640 Speaker 1: His second studio albums coming out pretty soon, so he's 1203 01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:10,960 Speaker 1: been working hard. I'm going with you. I'll look, I'll 1204 01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:13,280 Speaker 1: lock up the boys to Let's go. Let's fly, be fun, 1205 01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:17,760 Speaker 1: fun thing on Thanksgiving. I'd like to do a triple lock. 1206 01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:20,640 Speaker 1: Then we've never had that. All right, I'm jumping out, 1207 01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:24,040 Speaker 1: what's the point. Then we've done it. We've done that 1208 01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:29,240 Speaker 1: very well, Chiefs and writers. Can you look in the mirror? 1209 01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:32,800 Speaker 1: N you if the desert does? I believe that was 1210 01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:36,720 Speaker 1: a usurping. It's just like, I don't know, what's the point. Then. 1211 01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:40,960 Speaker 1: I used to think we had a rule even against 1212 01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:44,360 Speaker 1: because you're trying to like no, I mean no, there's 1213 01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:46,000 Speaker 1: no You're the one that says there's no rules. I 1214 01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:47,840 Speaker 1: bring something up. By the way, can we hear just 1215 01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:51,920 Speaker 1: the lock sound effect again? No, I'll stick with the 1216 01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:56,640 Speaker 1: Cowboys for now. We gotta show tomorrow we're taping. Listener 1217 01:03:56,680 --> 01:03:59,080 Speaker 1: pointed out that that is a very meek lock sound. 1218 01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:00,840 Speaker 1: We used to have a great locks out. It sounds 1219 01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:05,120 Speaker 1: like a vault being slammed. Yes, that's a lock sound drop. 1220 01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:08,200 Speaker 1: Can we address that? Is that Bartlett? That's something. Yeah, 1221 01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:10,920 Speaker 1: it's a graphics team because it's married to you know, 1222 01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:13,439 Speaker 1: if you're watching the show, you got a really cool 1223 01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:16,640 Speaker 1: lock graphic. Um, but I can hit it, we can 1224 01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:18,440 Speaker 1: hear if you want to, bunch of. It's just it's 1225 01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:21,720 Speaker 1: so mediocre. It's like a little like a bike locks. 1226 01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:24,480 Speaker 1: So you think it could. I mean, that's all your 1227 01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:27,200 Speaker 1: dumb locks. Easily pick lock. When you lock it, you're 1228 01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:29,360 Speaker 1: putting in the vault. We're not easily picked over the 1229 01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:31,520 Speaker 1: last month as a group. But Greg, I feel like 1230 01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:35,280 Speaker 1: you're a little annoyed that we jumped on your party line. There, 1231 01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:38,240 Speaker 1: see it in your face. No, not annoying, Like if 1232 01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:40,680 Speaker 1: I hadn't have locked it, so you wouldn't have locked it. 1233 01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,320 Speaker 1: I just don't get that. Maybe they didn't put much thought. 1234 01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:46,840 Speaker 1: I hadn't thought about it. I didn't. I didn't right 1235 01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:49,040 Speaker 1: before the show starting. Might jump out of the lock 1236 01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:51,960 Speaker 1: when we take a quick life. That's right, everyone listening. 1237 01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:54,440 Speaker 1: We've got a Wednesday previous show. We might be on 1238 01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:56,120 Speaker 1: the air still by the time the next day comes. 1239 01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:58,920 Speaker 1: So I finally the Saints are at the Falcons. This 1240 01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:02,520 Speaker 1: could have been a fun game Back in September, you know, 1241 01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:06,160 Speaker 1: right before the season began. This looked like potentially a 1242 01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:09,520 Speaker 1: game in the NFC South with huge playoff ramifications. Well 1243 01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:12,200 Speaker 1: it is for one team, the Saints nine and two, um, 1244 01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:14,720 Speaker 1: who are looking at stack ws and and get a 1245 01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:17,720 Speaker 1: buy in the first round. And the Falcons. You know, 1246 01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:20,480 Speaker 1: speaking of the Locks, they killed Greg and I on Sunday. 1247 01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:23,600 Speaker 1: They laid a total egg against the Falcons against the 1248 01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:28,360 Speaker 1: Bucks at home, turned Jamis Winston into Brett Farve and um, 1249 01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:30,800 Speaker 1: that's just who the Falcons are. A team that shouldn't 1250 01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:33,720 Speaker 1: be trusted, that have it in them to occasionally show 1251 01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:36,520 Speaker 1: up and ball out. And they've done it, you know, 1252 01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:39,560 Speaker 1: three times this year twice, uh two weeks in a 1253 01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:42,600 Speaker 1: row before what we saw Sunday. But they are who 1254 01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:47,120 Speaker 1: they are, which is an inconsistent too bad team and 1255 01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:50,560 Speaker 1: the Saints I feel again the stakes are higher now. 1256 01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:53,040 Speaker 1: I think what Parcels was getting out in part was 1257 01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:56,120 Speaker 1: the real teams when they sensed the moment. Once you 1258 01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:59,280 Speaker 1: start to get to December, they are not They are 1259 01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:02,160 Speaker 1: much less likely you know, to trip over themselves. The 1260 01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:05,680 Speaker 1: real teams button down and separate themselves. And that's why 1261 01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:08,760 Speaker 1: I don't see a flat performance by New Orleans, although 1262 01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:10,600 Speaker 1: we've seen that a couple of times. I believe they 1263 01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:14,080 Speaker 1: go into Atlanta and lay a beat down on I 1264 01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:15,680 Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to look in a mirror on this, 1265 01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:19,080 Speaker 1: but I feel that they're less about that. Well, you could, 1266 01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:21,600 Speaker 1: you could do it. They're less of a favorite. For instance, 1267 01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:26,840 Speaker 1: the Saints than the Cowboys are big the cow The 1268 01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:29,760 Speaker 1: Saints are bigger or less favorites than the Cowboys. For 1269 01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:32,080 Speaker 1: what it's worth, I think you could look in the 1270 01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:34,080 Speaker 1: mirror for that. I'd be shocked if no one's like, 1271 01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:37,360 Speaker 1: this is a huge weekend for the Saints. They're nine 1272 01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:40,880 Speaker 1: and two. The Seahawks, if they win, would be tendant 1273 01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:42,880 Speaker 1: to Let's say the Saints won this game, they'd be 1274 01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:47,200 Speaker 1: tenant too. And if they the New Orleans Saints beat Seattle, 1275 01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:50,080 Speaker 1: they'd have the tiebreaker over the Seahawks. And at the 1276 01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:53,360 Speaker 1: San Francisco San Francisco forty Niners lost to the Ravens. 1277 01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:56,480 Speaker 1: Very possible the Saints would suddenly be a bye team 1278 01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:58,479 Speaker 1: and then you just got to ride it out. There's 1279 01:06:58,520 --> 01:07:00,480 Speaker 1: something going on with the Saints. Often Steed up been 1280 01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:03,680 Speaker 1: begging for all year and it's finally happened. They finally 1281 01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:05,880 Speaker 1: have a third weapon because Jared Cook is that guy. 1282 01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:09,000 Speaker 1: He's playing really well over the past month. I think 1283 01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:12,000 Speaker 1: he's found a rapport with Drew Brees and I like 1284 01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:14,240 Speaker 1: this offense the rest of the way. Even with Drew 1285 01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:17,520 Speaker 1: Brees having a limited arm strength, you know, he can 1286 01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:20,200 Speaker 1: still play good football with a limited arm. They do 1287 01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:22,160 Speaker 1: have the left side of their offensive line out in 1288 01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:24,160 Speaker 1: this game, and I don't know where we're at on 1289 01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:27,400 Speaker 1: the Falcons pass rush. I don't trust him, but I 1290 01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:29,320 Speaker 1: don't trust them. But they had a good game against 1291 01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:30,960 Speaker 1: the Saints. I think that was one of the keys 1292 01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:34,560 Speaker 1: was they disrupted the timing of breeze. But I'm with you. 1293 01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:35,840 Speaker 1: I think it was a good sign for the Saints 1294 01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:38,840 Speaker 1: that they could win an old school Saints shootout. They 1295 01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:41,200 Speaker 1: had a ton of big place. I mean, yeah, he 1296 01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:43,560 Speaker 1: doesn't there's a couple of throws or the arm doesn't 1297 01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:45,800 Speaker 1: look great. He also put it on Ted Gain about 1298 01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:47,920 Speaker 1: forty five yards down the field and getting dropped it. 1299 01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:52,400 Speaker 1: They had a number of explosive plus twenty passing plays 1300 01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:54,800 Speaker 1: in that game, which they have not had all season long. 1301 01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:57,040 Speaker 1: So I think that's a good sign as Breeze has 1302 01:07:57,080 --> 01:08:01,160 Speaker 1: gotten back into the rhythm of of being their starter again. Uh, 1303 01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:03,480 Speaker 1: that that they can win high scoring games. I kind 1304 01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:05,360 Speaker 1: of expect this to be high scoring game, especially if 1305 01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:07,880 Speaker 1: Julio Jones is healthy that that is a problem for 1306 01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:10,360 Speaker 1: the Falcons when he is on the sideline. Saint Secondary 1307 01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:12,280 Speaker 1: got fried last week.

Now that I had a 1311 01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:22,120 Speaker 1: Cowboys right now they're about six and a half point 1312 01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:25,400 Speaker 1: favorites and uh Saints are five and half. Do you 1313 01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:29,800 Speaker 1: just imagine that's that's vernacular that gamblers use. Uh yeah, 1314 01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:34,840 Speaker 1: you gotta lay some wood.
