1
00:00:06,413 --> 00:00:08,933
Speaker 1: NFL Covers Zero with Matt Jones and Drew Franklin is

2
00:00:08,933 --> 00:00:21,613
Speaker 1: a production of the NFL and iHeart podcast. Welcome Everybody

3
00:00:21,693 --> 00:00:28,253
Speaker 1: to Week sixteen NFL Cover zero Podcast. I am in

4
00:00:28,293 --> 00:00:32,453
Speaker 1: New Orleans, Louisiana, where earlier today the Saints got a

5
00:00:32,493 --> 00:00:35,373
Speaker 1: big victory, But we're not leading with the Saints. We

6
00:00:35,413 --> 00:00:38,093
Speaker 1: are leading with the fact that there were some great

7
00:00:38,093 --> 00:00:41,533
Speaker 1: games today. Drew is in Lexington. Drew. I am in

8
00:00:41,573 --> 00:00:45,573
Speaker 1: a very good mood because my Chicago Bears made the

9
00:00:45,613 --> 00:00:48,733
Speaker 1: playoffs today thanks to the loss by the Detroit Lions,

10
00:00:49,213 --> 00:00:51,092
Speaker 1: and if they can win one more game, we'll win

11
00:00:51,133 --> 00:00:54,973
Speaker 1: the division after what Saturday night was probably one of

12
00:00:55,013 --> 00:00:57,173
Speaker 1: the best Bears wins of my lifetime.

13
00:00:57,853 --> 00:00:59,653
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've got to be on cloud non right now.

14
00:00:59,653 --> 00:01:02,453
Speaker 2: I mean, you had the exciting comeback, the way it ended,

15
00:01:02,493 --> 00:01:04,773
Speaker 2: the celebration after, and then you get what you needed

16
00:01:04,813 --> 00:01:08,013
Speaker 2: today with the Lions. I saw you have won a

17
00:01:08,053 --> 00:01:10,333
Speaker 2: playoff game in fifteen years. Do you think y'all can

18
00:01:10,372 --> 00:01:11,212
Speaker 2: go in there and win one?

19
00:01:12,092 --> 00:01:14,173
Speaker 1: Well? I worry that right now we're scheduled to play

20
00:01:14,173 --> 00:01:16,932
Speaker 1: the Packers again, which I think would be the worst luck.

21
00:01:16,973 --> 00:01:20,932
Speaker 1: I'd rather like to play anyone but them. But yeah,

22
00:01:20,973 --> 00:01:22,932
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess we'll start with that. I mean,

23
00:01:22,932 --> 00:01:26,253
Speaker 1: there's the games today, A couple of them are very important.

24
00:01:26,292 --> 00:01:29,413
Speaker 1: But I mean, I I think you could make a

25
00:01:29,413 --> 00:01:33,732
Speaker 1: strong argument that I have seen, well, first of all,

26
00:01:33,732 --> 00:01:36,012
Speaker 1: that the Bears have played two of the three most

27
00:01:36,012 --> 00:01:38,572
Speaker 1: exciting games of the year, right the game against the Mingles,

28
00:01:39,012 --> 00:01:41,212
Speaker 1: which just kind of went back and forth, back and forth.

29
00:01:42,092 --> 00:01:45,732
Speaker 1: We were at the Bills Bucks game, which was so good.

30
00:01:46,452 --> 00:01:48,773
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I mean, the game itself wasn't

31
00:01:48,813 --> 00:01:52,053
Speaker 1: great against Green Bay, but that comeback is like one

32
00:01:52,133 --> 00:01:54,453
Speaker 1: for the ages. I mean, I would think for the

33
00:01:54,493 --> 00:01:57,933
Speaker 1: Bears fan that set through that cold and soldier field,

34
00:01:58,533 --> 00:02:02,773
Speaker 1: saw the on sidekick, saw the amazing Caleb Williams off

35
00:02:02,813 --> 00:02:07,892
Speaker 1: his back foot throw, and then all the touchdown pass

36
00:02:07,933 --> 00:02:10,133
Speaker 1: in overtime. That's gotta be like one of the best

37
00:02:10,133 --> 00:02:12,333
Speaker 1: moments you'll have as a sports fan, right.

38
00:02:12,653 --> 00:02:15,293
Speaker 2: Yeah, crazy finish. I had completely written him off in

39
00:02:15,333 --> 00:02:18,093
Speaker 2: that game, like most people, I think I did. I saw,

40
00:02:18,093 --> 00:02:20,333
Speaker 2: you know, the probability thing. Green Bay was a ninety

41
00:02:20,373 --> 00:02:23,413
Speaker 2: nine percent in the fourth quarter and back against the wall.

42
00:02:23,493 --> 00:02:25,053
Speaker 2: Not only do you get the on side kick, he

43
00:02:25,093 --> 00:02:27,373
Speaker 2: makes that throw on fourth down. There were just so

44
00:02:27,373 --> 00:02:29,413
Speaker 2: many ways they could have lost it, but they kept

45
00:02:29,453 --> 00:02:31,213
Speaker 2: making the right play to hang on and get it done.

46
00:02:31,293 --> 00:02:33,133
Speaker 2: So I was happy for you, and that was just

47
00:02:33,173 --> 00:02:34,613
Speaker 2: a great game to be a fan of football.

48
00:02:35,093 --> 00:02:38,493
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean green Bay has got to be just

49
00:02:38,573 --> 00:02:40,933
Speaker 1: kicking himself. So first of all, if you were a

50
00:02:40,973 --> 00:02:42,853
Speaker 1: green Bay fan, would be mad about the hit that

51
00:02:42,893 --> 00:02:45,573
Speaker 1: took out Jordan Love a little bit.

52
00:02:45,733 --> 00:02:48,413
Speaker 2: I mean you're mad because you're mad because you have

53
00:02:48,453 --> 00:02:50,413
Speaker 2: to watch Milik Willis played two and a half quarters.

54
00:02:50,413 --> 00:02:53,133
Speaker 1: That's why you're mad. But I didn't think he did bad. Yeah,

55
00:02:53,173 --> 00:02:56,733
Speaker 1: I mean the third down that he gets stopped, I

56
00:02:56,733 --> 00:03:00,133
Speaker 1: think if he dives, maybe he gets that. But I

57
00:03:00,133 --> 00:03:04,693
Speaker 1: actually thought all things considered, he did Okay. You know,

58
00:03:04,733 --> 00:03:06,773
Speaker 1: I don't think it was a dirty hit, but I

59
00:03:06,773 --> 00:03:09,533
Speaker 1: also think it wasn't an illegal hit. And so anytime

60
00:03:09,613 --> 00:03:12,213
Speaker 1: your player gets hurt on an illegal hit, that does

61
00:03:12,373 --> 00:03:13,613
Speaker 1: kind of stink, right.

62
00:03:14,013 --> 00:03:16,533
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean it comes right after losing Michael

63
00:03:16,573 --> 00:03:19,253
Speaker 2: Parsons too. I know Jordan Loves. This shouldn't be out

64
00:03:19,333 --> 00:03:21,213
Speaker 2: very long, but just to have your two stars on

65
00:03:21,253 --> 00:03:22,773
Speaker 2: each side of the ball go down and back to

66
00:03:22,813 --> 00:03:25,133
Speaker 2: back weeks is unfortunate. When you're in such a great

67
00:03:25,173 --> 00:03:27,013
Speaker 2: place and considered a contender.

68
00:03:27,013 --> 00:03:30,413
Speaker 1: Till you're neutral. Okay, so you don't you know, you

69
00:03:30,533 --> 00:03:32,853
Speaker 1: don't care one way or the other. Are you rooting

70
00:03:32,893 --> 00:03:35,173
Speaker 1: for the back? I feel like, I mean, I'm I've

71
00:03:35,173 --> 00:03:38,733
Speaker 1: got the shirt on. I'm biased. I think this Bears team, though,

72
00:03:38,813 --> 00:03:42,853
Speaker 1: is insanely likable. Caleb Williams, you know, I think the

73
00:03:42,853 --> 00:03:45,693
Speaker 1: fact we haven't been good, I would just think objectively,

74
00:03:46,453 --> 00:03:49,053
Speaker 1: if you didn't have a dog in the fight, you

75
00:03:49,133 --> 00:03:52,053
Speaker 1: would be happy that the Bears are doing well. Do

76
00:03:52,133 --> 00:03:54,133
Speaker 1: you think that's the case. I don't think. I don't

77
00:03:54,133 --> 00:03:56,293
Speaker 1: see what how there would be any Bears hate.

78
00:03:56,773 --> 00:03:58,613
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fun. I mean, you like when a team

79
00:03:58,613 --> 00:04:01,373
Speaker 2: that hadn't had much success in a while, you know,

80
00:04:01,653 --> 00:04:03,653
Speaker 2: throws their name in the hat. They're a fun offense,

81
00:04:03,733 --> 00:04:05,933
Speaker 2: they're young. You got a brand new coach trip and

82
00:04:05,973 --> 00:04:09,093
Speaker 2: his shirt off. I saw today Caleb Williams was serving

83
00:04:09,133 --> 00:04:11,493
Speaker 2: food out in Chicago and he had on a cheese

84
00:04:11,493 --> 00:04:13,813
Speaker 2: Greater hat. I don't even though they made cheese greater hats,

85
00:04:13,813 --> 00:04:16,693
Speaker 2: but that's pretty cool. So little he had a cheese

86
00:04:16,853 --> 00:04:20,813
Speaker 2: greater hat. Yeah, I didn't see that. That's good for

87
00:04:21,133 --> 00:04:24,332
Speaker 2: kla So I mean they're just having fun and having

88
00:04:24,373 --> 00:04:26,933
Speaker 2: a great year. So yeah, of course it's hard. You'd

89
00:04:27,053 --> 00:04:27,773
Speaker 2: have to be a.

90
00:04:27,733 --> 00:04:29,573
Speaker 1: Hater to root against him unless you're a fan of

91
00:04:29,573 --> 00:04:30,212
Speaker 1: one of their rivals.

92
00:04:30,212 --> 00:04:34,253
Speaker 3: And I'm starting next year, Okay, you'll get the burden

93
00:04:34,293 --> 00:04:35,292
Speaker 3: of expectations.

94
00:04:35,652 --> 00:04:38,853
Speaker 1: They'll have to play a first place schedule, right, So

95
00:04:39,373 --> 00:04:43,173
Speaker 1: things will get much harder next year, and so in

96
00:04:43,212 --> 00:04:46,652
Speaker 1: some ways you can just have the joy of this one.

97
00:04:47,412 --> 00:04:49,332
Speaker 1: Now they play the forty nine ers in the Lions.

98
00:04:49,332 --> 00:04:52,052
Speaker 1: They just have to win one of those games to

99
00:04:52,092 --> 00:04:55,532
Speaker 1: make the playoffs, and the Lions could go into that

100
00:04:55,652 --> 00:04:58,253
Speaker 1: last week with nothing to play for. Well, we'll see

101
00:04:58,293 --> 00:05:02,613
Speaker 1: what happens after next week, but you know, you gotta

102
00:05:02,652 --> 00:05:06,013
Speaker 1: be happy. And then Kayleb Williams, I mean, I think

103
00:05:06,173 --> 00:05:08,772
Speaker 1: he's answered all the questions. Obviously, Drake May had a

104
00:05:08,772 --> 00:05:11,053
Speaker 1: great game that just finished up, and he's been and

105
00:05:11,092 --> 00:05:13,893
Speaker 1: so has bow Nick's been really good. Jaydon Daniels was

106
00:05:13,892 --> 00:05:16,252
Speaker 1: good last year. But I mean, I think I feel

107
00:05:16,293 --> 00:05:19,212
Speaker 1: comfortable in saying the Bears have their guy, right, And

108
00:05:19,293 --> 00:05:22,373
Speaker 1: how about the three of the six best or five

109
00:05:22,412 --> 00:05:26,612
Speaker 1: best records in the league being these second year quarterbacks. Yeah,

110
00:05:26,772 --> 00:05:28,292
Speaker 1: with Caleb Williams.

111
00:05:28,373 --> 00:05:30,172
Speaker 2: I saw a stat that he's on track to have

112
00:05:30,212 --> 00:05:33,213
Speaker 2: the lowest like interception percentage ever. He has to get

113
00:05:33,212 --> 00:05:35,893
Speaker 2: to a certain baseline of his many throws, and he's

114
00:05:35,933 --> 00:05:36,612
Speaker 2: not far from it.

115
00:05:36,693 --> 00:05:41,853
Speaker 1: He has the fewest interceptions of any of any quarterback

116
00:05:41,892 --> 00:05:45,013
Speaker 1: ever with a thousand or whatever it is, a thousand

117
00:05:45,013 --> 00:05:48,932
Speaker 1: attempts or whatever the status. I don't think people would

118
00:05:48,933 --> 00:05:51,532
Speaker 1: think that because they still sort of I think there's

119
00:05:51,573 --> 00:05:54,133
Speaker 1: this perception that he's this like wild guy. You don't

120
00:05:54,173 --> 00:05:56,253
Speaker 1: know what he's gonna do. Does he make good decisions?

121
00:05:56,373 --> 00:05:59,493
Speaker 1: But he has like twelve interceptions in his career, which

122
00:05:59,532 --> 00:06:00,693
Speaker 1: is a crazy number.

123
00:06:01,253 --> 00:06:03,813
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's just had a few that had been untimely,

124
00:06:03,853 --> 00:06:05,493
Speaker 2: like he throws the one away a couple weeks ago

125
00:06:05,532 --> 00:06:07,413
Speaker 2: on the end zone, and they'll stick out a little

126
00:06:07,412 --> 00:06:10,133
Speaker 2: bit more because they've cast him in games. But overall, yeah,

127
00:06:10,133 --> 00:06:12,373
Speaker 2: he's been protecting the ball and was it like six

128
00:06:12,452 --> 00:06:14,493
Speaker 2: comebacks this year where they've been growing in the last

129
00:06:14,532 --> 00:06:16,532
Speaker 2: couple of minutes, and that guy just goes out there

130
00:06:16,532 --> 00:06:17,212
Speaker 2: and wins.

131
00:06:17,573 --> 00:06:20,052
Speaker 3: Like Myron Metcalf who does the ESPN show with me,

132
00:06:20,133 --> 00:06:22,173
Speaker 3: he's a hater and he's like you.

133
00:06:22,173 --> 00:06:26,973
Speaker 1: Knew you cheek s kobik. You like, we've been losing

134
00:06:27,053 --> 00:06:29,492
Speaker 1: six tubs, you know those two minutes like, okay, but

135
00:06:29,613 --> 00:06:32,733
Speaker 1: last year we lost all those games. So if you agree, like,

136
00:06:33,133 --> 00:06:35,212
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are a perfect example, the team who won

137
00:06:35,293 --> 00:06:37,773
Speaker 1: all those close games last year, it caught up to

138
00:06:37,853 --> 00:06:40,973
Speaker 1: him this year. The Bears lost all those games last year.

139
00:06:40,972 --> 00:06:43,013
Speaker 1: I think the Bears were a lot closer to being

140
00:06:43,053 --> 00:06:46,573
Speaker 1: good last year than people realized, and then this year

141
00:06:46,613 --> 00:06:48,412
Speaker 1: they win him. So I think it does even out.

142
00:06:48,412 --> 00:06:50,573
Speaker 1: And this is just the math going our way.

143
00:06:51,053 --> 00:06:53,533
Speaker 2: Yeah, the culture has completely changed with Ben Johnson too.

144
00:06:53,613 --> 00:06:56,293
Speaker 2: I again watched his poach game speech. It was like

145
00:06:56,332 --> 00:06:58,373
Speaker 2: five minutes long, and I watched every second of it,

146
00:06:58,412 --> 00:06:59,453
Speaker 2: and I.

147
00:06:59,412 --> 00:07:03,093
Speaker 1: Do have to say speeches are a lot like they

148
00:07:03,133 --> 00:07:06,053
Speaker 1: need it. He needs an editor, Okay, I mean I

149
00:07:06,532 --> 00:07:10,732
Speaker 1: think you get you know, in hockey, Rod Brendan Moore

150
00:07:10,933 --> 00:07:13,693
Speaker 1: has like a forty five second for the Carolina Hurricanes.

151
00:07:13,733 --> 00:07:16,172
Speaker 1: He doesn't go more than forty five seconds. That's a

152
00:07:16,173 --> 00:07:21,373
Speaker 1: perfect amount. When you are like rivalry rivaling toll Stoy

153
00:07:21,493 --> 00:07:24,013
Speaker 1: for length of your speech, you need to bring it back.

154
00:07:24,013 --> 00:07:26,852
Speaker 1: So I like Ben Johnson, first of all, this middle

155
00:07:26,893 --> 00:07:29,773
Speaker 1: aged men taking their shirts off. I'm done with that, okay.

156
00:07:30,333 --> 00:07:34,333
Speaker 1: Like I talked about McAfee, Benja, y'all got to keep

157
00:07:34,333 --> 00:07:37,573
Speaker 1: your shirts on. You you you know, when you have

158
00:07:37,613 --> 00:07:40,732
Speaker 1: great chance to hair, keep it off. And then we

159
00:07:40,773 --> 00:07:42,373
Speaker 1: got to do the link. But I do love the

160
00:07:42,373 --> 00:07:45,693
Speaker 1: guy and it's been awesome havening. I think this year

161
00:07:45,733 --> 00:07:47,693
Speaker 1: the Coach of the Year race is so open.

162
00:07:47,813 --> 00:07:49,893
Speaker 2: They know the cameras are on and it's kind of

163
00:07:49,893 --> 00:07:52,333
Speaker 2: like performance art to help their case for voters. I

164
00:07:52,333 --> 00:07:54,493
Speaker 2: think that's the case because it's never been so wide

165
00:07:54,493 --> 00:07:56,573
Speaker 2: open for Coach of the Year, and they're all trying

166
00:07:56,613 --> 00:07:58,533
Speaker 2: to sell themselves in these lucky.

167
00:07:58,373 --> 00:08:01,053
Speaker 1: Vote for in that right now. I mean, you got

168
00:08:01,053 --> 00:08:03,573
Speaker 1: Liam Cohen, you got Kyle Shanahan, you got Mike Vrabel,

169
00:08:03,693 --> 00:08:09,172
Speaker 1: You've got Ben Johnson, you know, and and Mikey Daniel

170
00:08:09,293 --> 00:08:13,013
Speaker 1: in Seattle. Like who you who you going with?

171
00:08:13,573 --> 00:08:15,533
Speaker 2: I've said on here the last two weeks to watch

172
00:08:15,613 --> 00:08:18,692
Speaker 2: Liam Cohen climbing the ranks, and then with his outcome today,

173
00:08:18,773 --> 00:08:20,732
Speaker 2: I'm sticking with him. That's been my pick for a

174
00:08:20,733 --> 00:08:22,693
Speaker 2: while and I think he's Uh, they've played their way

175
00:08:22,693 --> 00:08:24,052
Speaker 2: into it well before.

176
00:08:24,133 --> 00:08:25,813
Speaker 1: Before we switch, we'll go to that one next. But

177
00:08:25,853 --> 00:08:29,853
Speaker 1: before we switch to that game, I have to tell

178
00:08:29,933 --> 00:08:34,373
Speaker 1: you I've watched the Bears lose some version of that

179
00:08:34,573 --> 00:08:38,733
Speaker 1: game my entire life, and to actually have it go

180
00:08:38,973 --> 00:08:43,173
Speaker 1: right for once yesterday was just like a great sports

181
00:08:43,253 --> 00:08:49,853
Speaker 1: day for me. Kentucky won, Duke lost, Caliperry lost, and

182
00:08:49,893 --> 00:08:52,653
Speaker 1: then you get this Bears win, which was bigger to

183
00:08:52,693 --> 00:08:54,773
Speaker 1: me in some ways than all of them. I just

184
00:08:54,933 --> 00:09:00,173
Speaker 1: I loved it, and to my fellow Bear compatriots out there,

185
00:09:00,853 --> 00:09:03,813
Speaker 1: let's enjoy this one because that'll be one. You know,

186
00:09:03,893 --> 00:09:05,813
Speaker 1: that'll be one that when you're doing the top ten

187
00:09:06,413 --> 00:09:09,293
Speaker 1: season wins of all time, you'll put that one up there. Now,

188
00:09:09,333 --> 00:09:15,893
Speaker 1: the Jaguars to kind of destroyed Denver on the road today.

189
00:09:15,933 --> 00:09:18,893
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody saw that coming. I think at

190
00:09:18,893 --> 00:09:21,653
Speaker 1: this point now everybody has to say, A the Jaguars

191
00:09:21,693 --> 00:09:24,853
Speaker 1: are for real and b Trevor Lawrence is good. And

192
00:09:24,933 --> 00:09:27,613
Speaker 1: I think six weeks ago no one would have said

193
00:09:27,613 --> 00:09:31,333
Speaker 1: the second one of those. I saw Trevor Lawrence. In

194
00:09:31,333 --> 00:09:35,173
Speaker 1: the last four games, He's got twelve hundred yards, fourteen touchdowns,

195
00:09:35,213 --> 00:09:37,733
Speaker 1: no interceptions, and they're four to zero. I mean that

196
00:09:37,933 --> 00:09:40,893
Speaker 1: is like an MVP stretch. I know, he's not doesn't

197
00:09:40,893 --> 00:09:43,253
Speaker 1: have enough time to go in the MVP Award. But

198
00:09:43,413 --> 00:09:46,173
Speaker 1: since their bye week they have been unbelievable. And then

199
00:09:46,213 --> 00:09:48,453
Speaker 1: what he did today, Denver has got the best defense

200
00:09:49,133 --> 00:09:51,053
Speaker 1: in the NFL. He went and scored on like six

201
00:09:51,093 --> 00:09:52,533
Speaker 1: out of seven drives. So just an.

202
00:09:52,493 --> 00:09:55,813
Speaker 2: Unbelievable game by the Jaguars, and they're doing this all

203
00:09:55,973 --> 00:09:58,573
Speaker 2: not that Travis Hunters that way. How do you say it?

204
00:10:00,013 --> 00:10:05,653
Speaker 1: Jaguars, Jaguars, Jack Wars. I mean, I still don't haven't

205
00:10:05,653 --> 00:10:07,813
Speaker 1: gotten any one to tell me what the right way is.

206
00:10:07,893 --> 00:10:11,533
Speaker 1: Everyone makes fun of mine Jaguars. I don't think jag

207
00:10:11,653 --> 00:10:14,573
Speaker 1: wires is correct either, and so I'm just gonna say

208
00:10:14,573 --> 00:10:15,973
Speaker 1: it's an unpronounceable work.

209
00:10:16,413 --> 00:10:19,613
Speaker 2: But but well, they deserve some respect on their name

210
00:10:19,653 --> 00:10:22,293
Speaker 2: the way they certainly do.

211
00:10:22,773 --> 00:10:25,933
Speaker 1: And if your Denver, you know now you know that?

212
00:10:26,493 --> 00:10:29,213
Speaker 1: I think is who has the tie right now? Is

213
00:10:29,253 --> 00:10:31,413
Speaker 1: it the Patriots or the Broncos for the one seed

214
00:10:32,133 --> 00:10:34,413
Speaker 1: because they have the same record. I'll be honest, I

215
00:10:34,453 --> 00:10:35,973
Speaker 1: was not wanting that.

216
00:10:36,293 --> 00:10:38,813
Speaker 4: I believe it's the Broncos. I don't know if this

217
00:10:38,853 --> 00:10:41,613
Speaker 4: is updated, but the one I'm looking at right now

218
00:10:41,613 --> 00:10:43,533
Speaker 4: in NFL dot Com says Broncos.

219
00:10:43,773 --> 00:10:46,573
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sure, I'm not sure if that's right or not,

220
00:10:46,693 --> 00:10:48,893
Speaker 1: but either way, one of them does. But the Broncos

221
00:10:48,933 --> 00:10:51,053
Speaker 1: I think could have maybe locked it up if they

222
00:10:51,053 --> 00:10:55,293
Speaker 1: had won today, but they don't. Are you are you

223
00:10:55,413 --> 00:10:59,093
Speaker 1: buying Jacksonville as a Super Bowl contender or is this

224
00:10:59,173 --> 00:11:01,653
Speaker 1: one of these where they're the two seed and they

225
00:11:01,653 --> 00:11:03,893
Speaker 1: get upset in the first round lose to a seventh

226
00:11:03,933 --> 00:11:04,693
Speaker 1: seed at home.

227
00:11:08,013 --> 00:11:10,213
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna say they're a contender because they're

228
00:11:10,213 --> 00:11:11,773
Speaker 2: turning it on at the right time. There's not a

229
00:11:11,813 --> 00:11:13,733
Speaker 2: lot of football left, We're heading straight for the playoffs,

230
00:11:13,773 --> 00:11:15,493
Speaker 2: and they've been beating good teams. Like I said, just

231
00:11:15,493 --> 00:11:18,413
Speaker 2: beat the top defense. They got a little swagger. I

232
00:11:18,413 --> 00:11:20,813
Speaker 2: don't know if you saw Liam Cohen kind of clap

233
00:11:20,893 --> 00:11:23,053
Speaker 2: back at Sean Payton after the game. Sean Payton had

234
00:11:23,253 --> 00:11:26,093
Speaker 2: said something like they're a good team for a small market,

235
00:11:26,093 --> 00:11:28,413
Speaker 2: and Liam Cohen let off his press conference saying not

236
00:11:28,533 --> 00:11:29,733
Speaker 2: bad a small market can.

237
00:11:29,653 --> 00:11:31,733
Speaker 1: Go into Maha and get a win. So yeah, they're

238
00:11:31,813 --> 00:11:34,573
Speaker 1: kind of feeling themselves a little bit, Liam Cohen, and

239
00:11:34,773 --> 00:11:37,013
Speaker 1: you and I have been around him a lot. For

240
00:11:37,133 --> 00:11:39,613
Speaker 1: a dude that is as dorky as he is. He

241
00:11:39,733 --> 00:11:42,733
Speaker 1: talks an amazing amount of trash in some ways. He's

242
00:11:42,813 --> 00:11:47,453
Speaker 1: kind of like Billy like like he has like like Billy,

243
00:11:47,493 --> 00:11:53,253
Speaker 1: you talk more trash than someone like you normally would.

244
00:11:53,693 --> 00:11:55,973
Speaker 1: And I think Liam Cohen is kind of like that.

245
00:11:56,373 --> 00:12:00,413
Speaker 1: You have a mouth, that's kind of Liam Cohen asked.

246
00:12:00,653 --> 00:12:02,733
Speaker 4: But that just doesn't come out of nowhere. That's because

247
00:12:02,733 --> 00:12:06,013
Speaker 4: I'm ultra confident in what I do, and so maybe

248
00:12:05,773 --> 00:12:08,013
Speaker 4: he is. Yeah, he's prepared.

249
00:12:07,733 --> 00:12:09,613
Speaker 1: More success than you do at this point.

250
00:12:11,093 --> 00:12:13,493
Speaker 4: But I guess, but if you were head.

251
00:12:13,293 --> 00:12:15,853
Speaker 1: Coach of the Jaguars you might have that success too.

252
00:12:15,933 --> 00:12:16,613
Speaker 1: We don't know.

253
00:12:16,693 --> 00:12:20,093
Speaker 4: Both employees in the NFL, So I say that we're

254
00:12:20,133 --> 00:12:23,613
Speaker 4: closer than maybe you think. I had an observation in

255
00:12:23,613 --> 00:12:25,213
Speaker 4: this game. I want to ask you, guys, because there

256
00:12:25,213 --> 00:12:26,973
Speaker 4: were a couple times in this game where the players

257
00:12:26,973 --> 00:12:29,373
Speaker 4: couldn't hear the whistle. The loud was the crowd was

258
00:12:29,413 --> 00:12:32,333
Speaker 4: so loud in Denver. Do you think that technology will

259
00:12:32,333 --> 00:12:35,213
Speaker 4: ever change? Well, we have whistles twenty thirty years from now.

260
00:12:37,773 --> 00:12:39,893
Speaker 1: Oh what would you suggest instead.

261
00:12:39,773 --> 00:12:44,133
Speaker 4: Lights in your elements? Maybe lights in the helmets? Yeah,

262
00:12:44,173 --> 00:12:46,133
Speaker 4: I don't know. Like when the play's over, the work.

263
00:12:46,213 --> 00:12:48,253
Speaker 4: I don't know, the play's over, and then like red

264
00:12:48,333 --> 00:12:50,533
Speaker 4: lights go in your helmet, so you know to stop.

265
00:12:51,053 --> 00:12:53,653
Speaker 1: But if red lights go where like you don't, like

266
00:12:53,853 --> 00:12:56,213
Speaker 1: in your peripheral some way, I don't think they're looking.

267
00:12:56,413 --> 00:12:59,013
Speaker 1: I mean you're talking about peripheral business.

268
00:12:59,133 --> 00:13:00,653
Speaker 4: Yeah, like you'd be able to see a red or

269
00:13:00,733 --> 00:13:02,933
Speaker 4: green light when the play's on or the plays off.

270
00:13:03,093 --> 00:13:05,053
Speaker 4: I mean, it just seems like technology that could be

271
00:13:05,173 --> 00:13:05,413
Speaker 4: up to.

272
00:13:06,933 --> 00:13:09,493
Speaker 1: Or the red light that's on a shot clock in basketball.

273
00:13:09,613 --> 00:13:11,813
Speaker 2: Just put that on every helmet and if you're running

274
00:13:11,813 --> 00:13:13,333
Speaker 2: out a guy and his red light goes off, you

275
00:13:13,373 --> 00:13:14,093
Speaker 2: know the plays did.

276
00:13:14,533 --> 00:13:18,253
Speaker 1: It's a genius, Billy. Yeah, there's a solution. A solution

277
00:13:18,493 --> 00:13:22,173
Speaker 1: though in looking for a problem. I mean what like

278
00:13:22,173 --> 00:13:26,613
Speaker 1: like okay, so that happened twice today. I mean I first,

279
00:13:26,613 --> 00:13:28,133
Speaker 1: if I was in the NFL, would start with making

280
00:13:28,133 --> 00:13:30,773
Speaker 1: the goal post higher. I still don't understand why they're

281
00:13:30,773 --> 00:13:33,013
Speaker 1: not higher. Yes, and then they've already got rid of

282
00:13:33,013 --> 00:13:35,653
Speaker 1: the chains, so like I'm ready, I mean they've they've

283
00:13:35,653 --> 00:13:38,453
Speaker 1: made a big step. I will say, Billy, I've never

284
00:13:38,533 --> 00:13:41,933
Speaker 1: heard anyone even fathom that is a thing that needed

285
00:13:41,933 --> 00:13:43,933
Speaker 1: to happen. So that is a very unique thought.

286
00:13:44,133 --> 00:13:47,173
Speaker 4: Just trying to prevent injuries. You know, plays happening after

287
00:13:47,173 --> 00:13:47,973
Speaker 4: the whistle.

288
00:13:49,973 --> 00:13:51,453
Speaker 1: Just trying to prevent injuries.

289
00:13:51,533 --> 00:13:54,773
Speaker 3: Okay, did you think Dion Sanders was at that game

290
00:13:54,813 --> 00:13:55,693
Speaker 3: and he had a whistle?

291
00:13:55,733 --> 00:13:59,253
Speaker 1: On today? He was. He was always in his whistle.

292
00:13:59,533 --> 00:14:01,893
Speaker 1: He was in the suite watching Shador and he had

293
00:14:01,893 --> 00:14:03,733
Speaker 1: a whistle. And I like the idea that he just

294
00:14:03,813 --> 00:14:07,453
Speaker 1: walks around all the time with a whistle, and I

295
00:14:07,533 --> 00:14:10,853
Speaker 1: want to think he blows it anytime he sees something wrong,

296
00:14:11,413 --> 00:14:16,133
Speaker 1: like in the airport, you you're cutting the line with

297
00:14:16,293 --> 00:14:19,093
Speaker 1: blow the whistle. I like Dion constantly having a whistle.

298
00:14:20,413 --> 00:14:22,173
Speaker 2: He seems to always be wearing a whistle and a

299
00:14:22,213 --> 00:14:23,853
Speaker 2: cowboy hat these days, and I'm all for it.

300
00:14:24,173 --> 00:14:25,853
Speaker 1: They don't really go together, but I like it. I

301
00:14:25,933 --> 00:14:27,733
Speaker 1: like that I don't know what the cowboy hat is

302
00:14:28,333 --> 00:14:30,933
Speaker 1: at first of all, Colorado was not even known for cowboys.

303
00:14:30,973 --> 00:14:34,253
Speaker 1: Like He's not like he went It's like he went

304
00:14:34,293 --> 00:14:37,213
Speaker 1: to Maine and decided he was a cowboy. Colorado is not.

305
00:14:37,893 --> 00:14:40,973
Speaker 1: That's not what they do there. That's like mountains and skiing.

306
00:14:41,133 --> 00:14:44,693
Speaker 1: But nevertheless, so the Jaguars with a big.

307
00:14:44,573 --> 00:15:01,493
Speaker 3: Victory, let's talk about the game that I So.

308
00:15:03,373 --> 00:15:05,253
Speaker 1: Let me back up a second. So people who don't

309
00:15:05,253 --> 00:15:07,613
Speaker 1: we've talked about him by I'm calling the New Orleans

310
00:15:07,693 --> 00:15:11,893
Speaker 1: Bowl Tuesday, and a lot of you listening at home

311
00:15:12,133 --> 00:15:14,253
Speaker 1: you might be like, what's the New Orleans Bowl? And

312
00:15:14,293 --> 00:15:16,813
Speaker 1: that's your loss, because it is the this is the

313
00:15:16,853 --> 00:15:20,613
Speaker 1: twenty fifth edition. Billy's alma mater, Western Kentucky is playing

314
00:15:20,653 --> 00:15:24,253
Speaker 1: the Southern Miss Golden Eagles. But more nerve wrecking to

315
00:15:24,293 --> 00:15:26,373
Speaker 1: me is I've never called a play by play game

316
00:15:26,733 --> 00:15:29,133
Speaker 1: and I have to do it. And we've talked about this.

317
00:15:29,213 --> 00:15:32,253
Speaker 1: I've been very nervous. So Friday night I freaked out

318
00:15:32,253 --> 00:15:35,173
Speaker 1: a little bit because I realized, Hey, I'm about to

319
00:15:35,213 --> 00:15:38,973
Speaker 1: do something I've never done on national radio. So I've

320
00:15:39,013 --> 00:15:43,493
Speaker 1: spent most of the weekend the games I'm watching, I'm

321
00:15:43,573 --> 00:15:46,733
Speaker 1: calling them. Okay, So I've been standing in my house

322
00:15:47,693 --> 00:15:52,293
Speaker 1: by myself, calling the action as the TV is muted.

323
00:15:52,893 --> 00:15:55,013
Speaker 1: If you walk by my house and could look in,

324
00:15:55,253 --> 00:15:58,093
Speaker 1: you would think I was a crazy person. Well, today

325
00:15:58,093 --> 00:16:00,373
Speaker 1: I had to fly to New Orleans and I had

326
00:16:00,413 --> 00:16:04,613
Speaker 1: to watch these games on the plane. And I was

327
00:16:04,653 --> 00:16:09,133
Speaker 1: sitting there and I was watching Detroit and Pittsburgh and

328
00:16:09,173 --> 00:16:13,493
Speaker 1: I was flye and I was calling the game in

329
00:16:13,613 --> 00:16:17,653
Speaker 1: my head, but I realized at some point that the

330
00:16:17,693 --> 00:16:21,813
Speaker 1: words were starting to come out of my mouth and

331
00:16:22,213 --> 00:16:27,733
Speaker 1: I was literally quietly but going Roger straps back looks

332
00:16:27,773 --> 00:16:30,893
Speaker 1: over the middle first time, and there was a guy

333
00:16:30,933 --> 00:16:33,973
Speaker 1: sitting across from me. And to his credit, I know

334
00:16:34,093 --> 00:16:37,293
Speaker 1: he heard me. He had to have heard me, and

335
00:16:37,333 --> 00:16:40,173
Speaker 1: he never brought it up, and he never embarrassed me.

336
00:16:40,773 --> 00:16:43,053
Speaker 1: He had to think I needed to be put out

337
00:16:43,093 --> 00:16:47,933
Speaker 1: to pasture. But when I realized, I turned really red.

338
00:16:48,093 --> 00:16:51,373
Speaker 1: I kind of covered my face. But to that man,

339
00:16:51,493 --> 00:16:55,293
Speaker 1: if you happen to be listening, thank you for not embarrassing,

340
00:16:55,693 --> 00:16:59,653
Speaker 1: because I do think I was out loudled on a

341
00:16:59,733 --> 00:17:04,253
Speaker 1: flight calling the Steelers' lines game play by play. You're

342
00:17:04,253 --> 00:17:06,852
Speaker 1: just working man, You're a professional, just doing your jobs.

343
00:17:07,013 --> 00:17:10,853
Speaker 1: He doesn't business that businessmen work on planes. I bet you,

344
00:17:10,893 --> 00:17:14,773
Speaker 1: Tony Romo, Tom Brady. They sit there and mumble college

345
00:17:14,813 --> 00:17:16,893
Speaker 1: games on the back of the seat in front of

346
00:17:16,893 --> 00:17:18,572
Speaker 1: them when they're on planes. It's all part of the

347
00:17:18,573 --> 00:17:22,413
Speaker 1: business of First of all, they're full, probably flying private,

348
00:17:23,093 --> 00:17:27,853
Speaker 1: and they're probably not in an economy seat celebrating that

349
00:17:27,893 --> 00:17:30,933
Speaker 1: I got an exit row It's probably not one of

350
00:17:30,973 --> 00:17:33,853
Speaker 1: those conversations. By the way, I don't like now that

351
00:17:33,973 --> 00:17:36,893
Speaker 1: on the exit row you have to have a long

352
00:17:37,053 --> 00:17:39,413
Speaker 1: verbal exchange to get to sit on the exit row.

353
00:17:39,653 --> 00:17:42,373
Speaker 1: And they used to just go, are you okay sitting

354
00:17:42,413 --> 00:17:44,373
Speaker 1: on the X row and you go yes. Now they

355
00:17:44,453 --> 00:17:46,613
Speaker 1: like ask you ten questions and you have to go,

356
00:17:46,693 --> 00:17:48,893
Speaker 1: and you can't just nod that. They go, I need

357
00:17:48,933 --> 00:17:54,773
Speaker 1: a verbal answer yes, yes, and you're you're trying to

358
00:17:54,773 --> 00:17:56,653
Speaker 1: do play by playing why she's asking you if your

359
00:17:56,693 --> 00:17:58,853
Speaker 1: camp that's right? So I did play by playing the game,

360
00:17:59,093 --> 00:18:02,293
Speaker 1: and what I saw was a pretty impressive win by

361
00:18:02,333 --> 00:18:06,613
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh on the road. Detroit fans boo their own team,

362
00:18:07,493 --> 00:18:10,373
Speaker 1: but then Pittsburgh ends up winning at the end. Double

363
00:18:10,533 --> 00:18:15,293
Speaker 1: offensive pass interference calls on two of the last three plays.

364
00:18:15,293 --> 00:18:16,213
Speaker 1: What did you think of it?

365
00:18:17,013 --> 00:18:19,253
Speaker 2: I mean that last play was just mayhem and I

366
00:18:19,293 --> 00:18:21,213
Speaker 2: was waiting for a replay. They gave us a while

367
00:18:21,213 --> 00:18:22,933
Speaker 2: to get to it, and I thought this better be

368
00:18:22,973 --> 00:18:26,853
Speaker 2: a clear offensive pass interference. And then yeah, he pushed

369
00:18:26,853 --> 00:18:29,093
Speaker 2: off pretty hard. It was kind of unnecessary how hard

370
00:18:29,093 --> 00:18:30,853
Speaker 2: he pushed off, Jay.

371
00:18:30,893 --> 00:18:34,293
Speaker 1: Because I couldn't hear the sound. I was only trying

372
00:18:34,333 --> 00:18:39,173
Speaker 1: to call the action myself. Yeah, what did the referee say?

373
00:18:39,293 --> 00:18:42,773
Speaker 1: Like that whole period of time they were talking and

374
00:18:42,813 --> 00:18:43,933
Speaker 1: like what was going on.

375
00:18:45,773 --> 00:18:47,973
Speaker 2: Well, when the referee tried to announce to the public

376
00:18:48,013 --> 00:18:49,973
Speaker 2: what they had decided, I bet he wants to take

377
00:18:49,973 --> 00:18:50,413
Speaker 2: that one back.

378
00:18:50,453 --> 00:18:52,213
Speaker 1: He was saying, Well, we.

379
00:18:52,293 --> 00:18:55,413
Speaker 2: Started off saying the call on the field is a touchdown,

380
00:18:56,093 --> 00:18:59,253
Speaker 2: but then he has to go to offensive pass interference,

381
00:18:59,373 --> 00:19:02,453
Speaker 2: therefore no touchdown. But then he kind of fumbled over

382
00:19:02,493 --> 00:19:05,613
Speaker 2: the no touchdown and some Lions fans are cheering and

383
00:19:05,653 --> 00:19:07,893
Speaker 2: some are it was the moment was way too big

384
00:19:07,933 --> 00:19:10,292
Speaker 2: for the white hat right there, and anything like we

385
00:19:10,373 --> 00:19:13,533
Speaker 2: can't replay Yeah, no, they can't replay it because it's

386
00:19:13,533 --> 00:19:16,013
Speaker 2: a pass interference, so there's nothing they can do about it.

387
00:19:17,053 --> 00:19:20,973
Speaker 1: So he basically was like, you scored, but no you didn't,

388
00:19:21,613 --> 00:19:23,532
Speaker 1: and you don't we're not looking at it. Is that

389
00:19:23,613 --> 00:19:24,453
Speaker 1: kind of what he said.

390
00:19:24,933 --> 00:19:26,453
Speaker 2: It actually would have been much better if you had

391
00:19:26,453 --> 00:19:28,532
Speaker 2: put it that way, because he was like stammering a

392
00:19:28,573 --> 00:19:29,013
Speaker 2: little bit.

393
00:19:29,453 --> 00:19:31,693
Speaker 1: And what was the argument they scored a touchdown? Was

394
00:19:31,733 --> 00:19:37,453
Speaker 1: that not like his forward momentum had gotten stopped? Well, uh,

395
00:19:37,693 --> 00:19:40,773
Speaker 1: same brown lateral to golf who jumped in, they stopped

396
00:19:40,773 --> 00:19:43,453
Speaker 1: his for they had running back like before he lateral,

397
00:19:43,533 --> 00:19:45,973
Speaker 1: they pushed him back like five yards.

398
00:19:46,453 --> 00:19:48,773
Speaker 2: Yeah, it none of it mattered once they had the

399
00:19:48,773 --> 00:19:50,572
Speaker 2: flag for the pass interference.

400
00:19:50,613 --> 00:19:54,773
Speaker 1: But John, I guess it just because yeah, it.

401
00:19:54,813 --> 00:19:56,693
Speaker 2: Was an offensibility and then there was no time on

402
00:19:56,733 --> 00:19:58,853
Speaker 2: the clock. But it was a pretty blatant push off too.

403
00:19:58,893 --> 00:20:00,973
Speaker 2: But it was a chaotic ending there, and no one

404
00:20:00,973 --> 00:20:03,013
Speaker 2: really had answers because they weren't showing no replay for

405
00:20:03,453 --> 00:20:04,133
Speaker 2: a couple of months.

406
00:20:04,173 --> 00:20:09,333
Speaker 1: On Both of the calls were valid, but I'm surprised

407
00:20:09,333 --> 00:20:12,613
Speaker 1: they called them right. Like I think you could call

408
00:20:12,773 --> 00:20:16,653
Speaker 1: especially the picks, I think you could call those a lot,

409
00:20:17,373 --> 00:20:20,213
Speaker 1: and you probably could call the push offs a lot.

410
00:20:20,373 --> 00:20:24,013
Speaker 1: And to call those in Detroit.

411
00:20:24,253 --> 00:20:26,813
Speaker 5: On the last on two of the last three plays,

412
00:20:26,973 --> 00:20:30,613
Speaker 5: I don't think they were wrong, but I'm very surprised

413
00:20:30,613 --> 00:20:35,332
Speaker 5: they called when when they huddled the four officials, you

414
00:20:35,333 --> 00:20:37,213
Speaker 5: could almost see them like, oh my god, there's a

415
00:20:37,213 --> 00:20:39,893
Speaker 5: lot at stake here, because it's truly deciding a game

416
00:20:39,933 --> 00:20:41,173
Speaker 5: of playoff inplications.

417
00:20:41,453 --> 00:20:44,013
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they got it right, but it was

418
00:20:44,093 --> 00:20:46,053
Speaker 2: a wild ending. It couldn't have been easy on them.

419
00:20:46,053 --> 00:20:47,373
Speaker 2: But I think they did get it right. It helped

420
00:20:47,413 --> 00:20:50,653
Speaker 2: that the defensive backs sold the push pretty well.

421
00:20:51,173 --> 00:20:53,933
Speaker 1: Danelovsky was angry. I saw him on you know, he

422
00:20:53,973 --> 00:20:58,373
Speaker 1: was a former lines back, so he's a big lines guy.

423
00:20:58,613 --> 00:21:00,413
Speaker 1: He was very angry about it. He was like, you

424
00:21:00,453 --> 00:21:02,532
Speaker 1: can't call that, you can't call that. And then there

425
00:21:02,533 --> 00:21:05,253
Speaker 1: were just people saying just that, just people just yelling

426
00:21:05,293 --> 00:21:08,852
Speaker 1: at him. That's why you should never talk on Twitter.

427
00:21:08,933 --> 00:21:11,453
Speaker 1: But I think it's probably the right one. And now,

428
00:21:11,653 --> 00:21:13,973
Speaker 1: by the way, the Steelers are nine and six in

429
00:21:14,053 --> 00:21:18,333
Speaker 1: the driver's seat to win the division. All they need

430
00:21:18,373 --> 00:21:22,493
Speaker 1: to do is win one more game Aaron Rodgers. First

431
00:21:22,533 --> 00:21:24,572
Speaker 1: of all, Mike Tomlin is going to have a winning

432
00:21:24,613 --> 00:21:31,853
Speaker 1: record again. That to me is the most amazing stat.

433
00:21:32,453 --> 00:21:35,133
Speaker 1: I mean, give me a more amazing And oftentimes it's

434
00:21:35,173 --> 00:21:37,532
Speaker 1: like nine to eight, and yet he still has a

435
00:21:37,533 --> 00:21:41,533
Speaker 1: winning record every single year. And the fact Pittsburgh wants

436
00:21:41,533 --> 00:21:43,333
Speaker 1: to get rid of him, it's kind of odd to me.

437
00:21:44,093 --> 00:21:48,293
Speaker 1: I mean, they boot him three weeks ago. I don't

438
00:21:48,333 --> 00:21:50,693
Speaker 1: get it, Like, if you fire Mike Tomlin, another team's

439
00:21:50,693 --> 00:21:52,813
Speaker 1: gonna hire him immediately. Right.

440
00:21:53,493 --> 00:21:56,093
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm sure they were wishing they hadn't boot

441
00:21:56,173 --> 00:21:58,453
Speaker 2: him because he's done nothing to win since then. But

442
00:21:58,533 --> 00:22:01,093
Speaker 2: it's just also amazing that. I mean, that's not like

443
00:22:01,133 --> 00:22:03,973
Speaker 2: a powerhouse division, but it's not terrible to be being

444
00:22:04,053 --> 00:22:06,293
Speaker 2: five hundred. You have the Browns, but the Bengals and

445
00:22:06,493 --> 00:22:08,733
Speaker 2: had some really good seasons during that run, and they

446
00:22:08,773 --> 00:22:11,373
Speaker 2: still manage to get above five hundred for almost two decades.

447
00:22:11,733 --> 00:22:13,973
Speaker 1: And they also have that insane staff at what they've

448
00:22:14,013 --> 00:22:17,133
Speaker 1: only had like three coaches in sixty five years or

449
00:22:17,133 --> 00:22:25,173
Speaker 1: something like That's that is unbelievable. And Aaron Rodgers, I'm

450
00:22:25,213 --> 00:22:29,693
Speaker 1: a hater and I'm still a hater, but he probably

451
00:22:29,733 --> 00:22:31,853
Speaker 1: has been a little I don't think he's been great,

452
00:22:31,973 --> 00:22:34,213
Speaker 1: but he's been a little better, certainly better than I

453
00:22:34,333 --> 00:22:37,413
Speaker 1: thought he would be. Do you think he keeps playing

454
00:22:39,173 --> 00:22:42,173
Speaker 1: beyond this season? I don't know.

455
00:22:42,293 --> 00:22:45,013
Speaker 2: He's he's looking so old over there on the sideline.

456
00:22:45,053 --> 00:22:47,133
Speaker 2: They kept showing his face when the Lions are.

457
00:22:47,093 --> 00:22:51,093
Speaker 1: Driving like cold. He looks very cold. He had a

458
00:22:51,173 --> 00:22:53,293
Speaker 1: nice not look past today. He still got that in him.

459
00:22:53,733 --> 00:22:56,133
Speaker 2: Did you see DK Metcalf get into it with the

460
00:22:56,173 --> 00:22:57,453
Speaker 2: fan that was the other big story.

461
00:22:57,533 --> 00:22:59,332
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I did see that.

462
00:23:00,493 --> 00:23:02,332
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the fan was interviewed and he said all

463
00:23:02,333 --> 00:23:04,853
Speaker 2: I did was call him by his full name, like

464
00:23:04,973 --> 00:23:05,532
Speaker 2: just yelled, I.

465
00:23:05,533 --> 00:23:07,893
Speaker 1: Don't believe that that fan is live. He did not,

466
00:23:08,093 --> 00:23:11,613
Speaker 1: like he did not you could call me Matthew Harper

467
00:23:11,693 --> 00:23:14,052
Speaker 1: and I'm not going to punch you in the face.

468
00:23:14,133 --> 00:23:17,893
Speaker 1: I do not believe that in the least, do you no?

469
00:23:18,053 --> 00:23:20,133
Speaker 2: But I also wondered how the fan was even in

470
00:23:20,173 --> 00:23:22,572
Speaker 2: that spot, like where's the security on the rail to

471
00:23:22,573 --> 00:23:24,653
Speaker 2: be like, hey, fan, why are you leaning over in.

472
00:23:24,693 --> 00:23:26,893
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf's face? Like how did you even get to

473
00:23:26,933 --> 00:23:29,653
Speaker 1: that point? Is what I wonder you. The fan is

474
00:23:29,773 --> 00:23:32,213
Speaker 1: very lucky that he had the blue hair covering his face,

475
00:23:32,213 --> 00:23:34,292
Speaker 1: because we have no idea who he is, you know

476
00:23:34,333 --> 00:23:37,453
Speaker 1: what I mean? Like he didn't this was not a situation.

477
00:23:38,773 --> 00:23:41,173
Speaker 1: Well this is a little bit of a digression. But

478
00:23:41,213 --> 00:23:46,653
Speaker 1: do you remember the Coldplay concert couple? Of course, so

479
00:23:46,773 --> 00:23:48,853
Speaker 1: the woman, I don't know if you saw this. The

480
00:23:48,933 --> 00:23:51,812
Speaker 1: woman was interviewed this week by the New York Times.

481
00:23:52,013 --> 00:23:55,733
Speaker 1: Did you see this? I saw that. Now I have

482
00:23:55,773 --> 00:23:57,653
Speaker 1: the controversial view which no one wants to hear that

483
00:23:57,653 --> 00:24:00,413
Speaker 1: I kind of feel sorry for this woman, and I

484
00:24:00,453 --> 00:24:04,213
Speaker 1: actually was interested to hear what she says, and her

485
00:24:04,293 --> 00:24:08,133
Speaker 1: life seems like it's been off, like people like yell

486
00:24:08,213 --> 00:24:10,493
Speaker 1: at her, and she hasn't been able to like go

487
00:24:10,573 --> 00:24:12,373
Speaker 1: back to work, and she doesn't feel like she She's

488
00:24:12,413 --> 00:24:14,852
Speaker 1: only now is like she can go in public. So

489
00:24:14,893 --> 00:24:16,893
Speaker 1: I was like, I think this is fascinating and it

490
00:24:16,933 --> 00:24:20,373
Speaker 1: shows how we pile on someone in society, et cetera,

491
00:24:20,453 --> 00:24:22,893
Speaker 1: et cetera. And so then I look the New York

492
00:24:22,933 --> 00:24:25,893
Speaker 1: Times posts a story and I go read the comments

493
00:24:25,973 --> 00:24:29,813
Speaker 1: on social media. People just hate her, like they hate

494
00:24:29,893 --> 00:24:33,933
Speaker 1: her so much, and I feel sorry for this woman.

495
00:24:34,293 --> 00:24:36,693
Speaker 1: That could have happened to this Detroit Lyons blue hair

496
00:24:36,773 --> 00:24:38,253
Speaker 1: guy if he was not careful.

497
00:24:39,093 --> 00:24:40,693
Speaker 2: Wasn't that The point of her interview is that you

498
00:24:40,693 --> 00:24:43,453
Speaker 2: shouldn't be hated for making a mistake. And then she

499
00:24:43,493 --> 00:24:45,373
Speaker 2: just keeps getting hated now that she did the interview.

500
00:24:45,373 --> 00:24:47,093
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, people are mad at her for doing

501
00:24:47,093 --> 00:24:49,253
Speaker 1: the interview, but like, what do you want her to do?

502
00:24:49,253 --> 00:24:51,613
Speaker 1: Do you just want her to like she just wanted

503
00:24:51,653 --> 00:24:54,293
Speaker 1: to like move to Mars, Like it's like she has

504
00:24:54,333 --> 00:24:58,213
Speaker 1: to have a life. She didn't commit a crime. She's

505
00:24:58,213 --> 00:24:59,933
Speaker 1: got to go live in the woods by herself and

506
00:24:59,973 --> 00:25:03,653
Speaker 1: never come out. Yeah, she not allowed she never allowed

507
00:25:03,773 --> 00:25:07,133
Speaker 1: to ever Okay, she messed up, but she never allowed

508
00:25:07,173 --> 00:25:09,973
Speaker 1: to move on with their life ever. I just was

509
00:25:10,013 --> 00:25:12,533
Speaker 1: try for that woman, and I know nobody else does,

510
00:25:12,613 --> 00:25:17,173
Speaker 1: but I do. People make mistakes. I mean Burton Ernie

511
00:25:17,493 --> 00:25:20,693
Speaker 1: or was it Sesame Street. It was like, everybody makes mistakes?

512
00:25:20,733 --> 00:25:22,292
Speaker 1: Can we not give him a break? I don't know

513
00:25:22,293 --> 00:25:25,493
Speaker 1: if that was exact lyrics, but that was the premise. Yeah, yes,

514
00:25:25,573 --> 00:25:27,973
Speaker 1: they do something something your sister and your brother and

515
00:25:28,013 --> 00:25:30,253
Speaker 1: your dad and mother too. Yeah.

516
00:25:30,293 --> 00:25:32,413
Speaker 2: So you're saying the Detroit fan was kind of like

517
00:25:32,453 --> 00:25:35,453
Speaker 2: the Coplay company, and he's very lucky because he could

518
00:25:35,493 --> 00:25:38,253
Speaker 2: have become that woman and then he would be doing

519
00:25:38,253 --> 00:25:42,733
Speaker 2: a New York Times spread. Now DK shouldets suspended. Yeah,

520
00:25:42,773 --> 00:25:45,453
Speaker 2: you can't be doing that, especially midgame. I don't care

521
00:25:45,493 --> 00:25:47,572
Speaker 2: what he yelled, and I'm sure he yelled much worse

522
00:25:47,613 --> 00:25:50,773
Speaker 2: than DK's full name. We can't have you leaving the

523
00:25:50,773 --> 00:25:53,173
Speaker 2: bench to go grab a fan by the collar and

524
00:25:53,293 --> 00:25:54,093
Speaker 2: upper cut them.

525
00:25:54,493 --> 00:25:57,293
Speaker 1: So how did he hear him? Like? How did he

526
00:25:57,293 --> 00:25:59,373
Speaker 1: hear it? The stadium is very loud.

527
00:25:59,453 --> 00:26:01,653
Speaker 4: I don't know when I hear my full name from

528
00:26:01,653 --> 00:26:04,773
Speaker 4: my fiance or my mom, it's like piercing it.

529
00:26:04,973 --> 00:26:06,053
Speaker 1: You don't punch your mom.

530
00:26:06,253 --> 00:26:08,292
Speaker 4: No, I would never go that far, but like I

531
00:26:08,333 --> 00:26:10,773
Speaker 4: can hear it, but I know of Yeah, and.

532
00:26:10,733 --> 00:26:11,773
Speaker 1: What does it went? Detroit?

533
00:26:11,853 --> 00:26:15,213
Speaker 2: Malice in the Palace Now this it's like they're fans Detroit.

534
00:26:15,373 --> 00:26:19,173
Speaker 1: I have my passport in Detroit. I can see it. Yeah.

535
00:26:19,173 --> 00:26:21,893
Speaker 1: I mean, although I do think people use Detroit now

536
00:26:21,933 --> 00:26:25,853
Speaker 1: as like this, like, but it's actually it's nice. You know,

537
00:26:26,333 --> 00:26:28,973
Speaker 1: what's the city you would want to go to the

538
00:26:29,053 --> 00:26:31,413
Speaker 1: least in America? Like I say to you, you have

539
00:26:31,453 --> 00:26:34,813
Speaker 1: to go spend one month in a city of some size.

540
00:26:35,653 --> 00:26:38,413
Speaker 1: You know, let's say a city that has a professional

541
00:26:38,493 --> 00:26:42,933
Speaker 1: sports team. Okay, what's the city that I say you

542
00:26:43,053 --> 00:26:45,053
Speaker 1: have to live there for one month that you would

543
00:26:45,053 --> 00:26:46,853
Speaker 1: want to do it the least?

544
00:26:48,053 --> 00:26:53,693
Speaker 2: Probably Orlando anything. I just don't do the crowds and

545
00:26:54,173 --> 00:26:55,052
Speaker 2: touristy stuff.

546
00:26:55,933 --> 00:26:58,133
Speaker 1: I actual think Orlando is a good answer, But I

547
00:26:58,133 --> 00:26:59,413
Speaker 1: don't think I would have said that.

548
00:26:59,573 --> 00:27:02,693
Speaker 2: I think if I could just play golf, I'd be fine.

549
00:27:02,693 --> 00:27:04,573
Speaker 2: But if I got caught up in Disney traffic and

550
00:27:04,653 --> 00:27:12,413
Speaker 2: hour waits, good families and rides and like snotty kids.

551
00:27:12,613 --> 00:27:15,373
Speaker 1: Tigers I mean, like I don't know if they have tigers,

552
00:27:15,413 --> 00:27:19,813
Speaker 1: but you know the Yeah, that's a good one, Jack.

553
00:27:19,853 --> 00:27:20,253
Speaker 1: I don't know.

554
00:27:20,573 --> 00:27:21,893
Speaker 4: For me, Maybe.

555
00:27:21,733 --> 00:27:24,813
Speaker 3: See Jacksonville, I think is a good call because like,

556
00:27:24,893 --> 00:27:25,813
Speaker 3: jackson is not even on.

557
00:27:25,773 --> 00:27:29,653
Speaker 1: The beach, right, we'll even for Orlando. I've been to

558
00:27:29,733 --> 00:27:35,493
Speaker 1: Jacksonville three times and had zero fun. So through Florida

559
00:27:35,533 --> 00:27:37,532
Speaker 1: City's being on our list, which is weird because at

560
00:27:37,613 --> 00:27:39,853
Speaker 1: least the weathers although the weather's not even necessarily going

561
00:27:39,893 --> 00:27:42,813
Speaker 1: to be good in Jacksonville all the time. And tell

562
00:27:42,853 --> 00:27:46,173
Speaker 1: me Jack Jacksonville, that's a good call. Jacksonville's mind.

563
00:27:46,493 --> 00:27:48,613
Speaker 2: Until we had gone to Buffalo and I met those

564
00:27:48,733 --> 00:27:51,013
Speaker 2: beautiful people and joined the mafia, I might have said

565
00:27:51,053 --> 00:27:54,572
Speaker 2: Buffalo as someone stereotyping it from Afar, but I had

566
00:27:54,613 --> 00:27:56,092
Speaker 2: too much fun to say Buffalo.

567
00:27:56,533 --> 00:27:58,613
Speaker 1: Yeah. My point is a lot of people would say Detroit,

568
00:27:58,773 --> 00:28:00,373
Speaker 1: and I think that would be the wrong answer. I

569
00:28:00,413 --> 00:28:05,052
Speaker 1: actually think Detroit would be you know, a pretty good place,

570
00:28:05,493 --> 00:28:08,493
Speaker 1: uh good place to go. Oklahoma City might be up

571
00:28:08,493 --> 00:28:15,572
Speaker 1: there too, what is it like Wood and I don't know,

572
00:28:15,933 --> 00:28:20,093
Speaker 1: lot of hotels, yeah, those might be uh might be

573
00:28:20,133 --> 00:28:35,853
Speaker 1: the two. Now the rest of the games today, there's

574
00:28:35,853 --> 00:28:39,853
Speaker 1: a lot of games that sort of on paper were meaningless,

575
00:28:39,853 --> 00:28:42,173
Speaker 1: but we just finished one with the Patriots and the

576
00:28:42,253 --> 00:28:47,053
Speaker 1: Ravens twenty eight to twenty four. Lamar gets hurt. It's

577
00:28:47,133 --> 00:28:49,213
Speaker 1: ten ten at halftime. When he gets hurt, you kind

578
00:28:49,213 --> 00:28:52,293
Speaker 1: of think, all right, game over. But then the Ravens

579
00:28:52,293 --> 00:28:55,933
Speaker 1: score two touchdowns. They lead twenty four to thirteen. Snoop

580
00:28:56,013 --> 00:29:00,493
Speaker 1: hunt Lea's playing pretty well and then great drive, two

581
00:29:00,493 --> 00:29:03,853
Speaker 1: great drives by Drake May. They get a turnover at

582
00:29:03,893 --> 00:29:06,973
Speaker 1: the end and the Patriots win. Drake May had a

583
00:29:07,053 --> 00:29:11,413
Speaker 1: pass to Williams that was an amazing pass, an amazing

584
00:29:11,493 --> 00:29:15,493
Speaker 1: catch and as a I really like cousin sal and

585
00:29:15,533 --> 00:29:18,533
Speaker 1: the ringer would call him Drake and maybe and I've

586
00:29:18,573 --> 00:29:22,013
Speaker 1: wanted to do that, but I think now he's the Drake. Yes,

587
00:29:22,333 --> 00:29:26,293
Speaker 1: I mean he is. He's he's good and the Patriots

588
00:29:26,293 --> 00:29:27,333
Speaker 1: are good, which makes me mad.

589
00:29:28,493 --> 00:29:31,173
Speaker 2: Yeah, that throw is incredible to the side of the

590
00:29:31,253 --> 00:29:33,293
Speaker 2: end zone. He had a long run. I mean, he's

591
00:29:33,293 --> 00:29:35,053
Speaker 2: looking like he can do it all right now. But

592
00:29:35,133 --> 00:29:37,413
Speaker 2: I had them completely written off, even though they were

593
00:29:37,453 --> 00:29:40,133
Speaker 2: just down ten early in the second half. I thought

594
00:29:40,173 --> 00:29:41,973
Speaker 2: this was going to be a big blown opportunity. When

595
00:29:42,053 --> 00:29:44,573
Speaker 2: Lamar went out and they still weren't getting anything done

596
00:29:44,573 --> 00:29:46,733
Speaker 2: and Derek Henry was rolling over him, running over him,

597
00:29:46,733 --> 00:29:48,173
Speaker 2: and then you look up and they pulled off at

598
00:29:48,173 --> 00:29:51,213
Speaker 2: the last minute. I'm pretty shocked by that, and the

599
00:29:51,493 --> 00:29:53,053
Speaker 2: winning continues for New England.

600
00:29:53,573 --> 00:29:55,813
Speaker 3: I didn't snow Putley, by the way. I believe he

601
00:29:55,893 --> 00:29:59,013
Speaker 3: backed up Bernie Kosar. He has been in the he

602
00:29:59,053 --> 00:30:01,533
Speaker 3: has been in the league for a long time. I

603
00:30:01,533 --> 00:30:03,693
Speaker 3: actually thought he played admirably well.

604
00:30:04,013 --> 00:30:06,773
Speaker 1: I don't understand why the Ravens went away from your

605
00:30:06,813 --> 00:30:09,693
Speaker 1: goud Derrick Henry, though. I mean, they're up by they're

606
00:30:09,773 --> 00:30:13,093
Speaker 1: up by three, they have like four and a half

607
00:30:13,133 --> 00:30:16,493
Speaker 1: minutes to go. All they need to do is get

608
00:30:16,653 --> 00:30:19,493
Speaker 1: two or three first downs and they hand the ball

609
00:30:19,573 --> 00:30:21,813
Speaker 1: to the other guy whose name is escaping me. I

610
00:30:21,853 --> 00:30:24,293
Speaker 1: called it on the plane a couple of times, Cameron

611
00:30:24,453 --> 00:30:28,893
Speaker 1: Mitchell maybe yeah, Ken, yeah, See again. When you when

612
00:30:28,933 --> 00:30:30,933
Speaker 1: you're a play by play guy, you remember these people's names,

613
00:30:30,933 --> 00:30:34,373
Speaker 1: Cameron Mitchell. But they didn't give it to Derrick Henry.

614
00:30:34,413 --> 00:30:37,813
Speaker 1: I didn't understand that in those key moments down the stretretch.

615
00:30:38,693 --> 00:30:40,653
Speaker 2: Now, he had a bad fumble early in the game,

616
00:30:40,693 --> 00:30:42,533
Speaker 2: which is you know, this has been a year of

617
00:30:42,573 --> 00:30:44,853
Speaker 2: fumbling for him, something he had never done to this season.

618
00:30:44,893 --> 00:30:46,293
Speaker 2: But other than that, he had been great. He was

619
00:30:46,373 --> 00:30:48,293
Speaker 2: running all over him, had the two touchdowns like one

620
00:30:48,333 --> 00:30:51,053
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty something yards. It's like he's right there,

621
00:30:51,213 --> 00:30:53,773
Speaker 2: and he's right there. There's why he dack Henry. He's

622
00:30:53,853 --> 00:30:56,893
Speaker 2: Dereck Henry. I mean, there's nothing he's better at than

623
00:30:56,933 --> 00:31:00,653
Speaker 2: the clock churning end of game runs. That was the

624
00:31:00,653 --> 00:31:03,773
Speaker 2: thing he was so amazing at with the Titans year

625
00:31:03,853 --> 00:31:08,653
Speaker 2: after year. I just I did, I did get.

626
00:31:07,773 --> 00:31:11,013
Speaker 1: You know, that's your season on the line, and you

627
00:31:11,093 --> 00:31:14,533
Speaker 1: got Snoop handing it to Mitchell and you go, this

628
00:31:14,573 --> 00:31:17,413
Speaker 1: is not what you all were, this is not what

629
00:31:17,413 --> 00:31:18,253
Speaker 1: this was supposed to be.

630
00:31:18,733 --> 00:31:21,693
Speaker 2: That's exactly why you signed Derrick Henry. As everyone else

631
00:31:21,733 --> 00:31:24,213
Speaker 2: gets tired, he just gets more downhill and picks up steam.

632
00:31:24,253 --> 00:31:25,813
Speaker 2: The later the game, the better he gets.

633
00:31:25,853 --> 00:31:27,133
Speaker 1: And just completely went away from him.

634
00:31:27,173 --> 00:31:30,253
Speaker 4: Do you think we've seen Lamar's peak? He's injured another back.

635
00:31:30,293 --> 00:31:33,013
Speaker 4: Injury numbers haven't been the same since the hamstring.

636
00:31:33,893 --> 00:31:34,173
Speaker 1: Yeah.

637
00:31:34,293 --> 00:31:37,693
Speaker 3: See, that's a tough one because I there's no quarterback

638
00:31:37,773 --> 00:31:42,373
Speaker 3: that to me is more vulnerable to his age.

639
00:31:43,573 --> 00:31:49,133
Speaker 1: Than the Lamar. But I also don't like there's still moments,

640
00:31:49,133 --> 00:31:53,453
Speaker 1: there's still Sparks. I don't know, he's injury prone, clearly.

641
00:31:54,533 --> 00:31:56,093
Speaker 1: He seems to have done a better job in recent

642
00:31:56,213 --> 00:32:01,053
Speaker 1: years of evading the injuries. But this year especially, it's

643
00:32:01,373 --> 00:32:04,293
Speaker 1: been like four different things, so that does worry me. Drew.

644
00:32:04,333 --> 00:32:07,333
Speaker 1: I hope we haven't seen the peak, but I kind

645
00:32:07,373 --> 00:32:08,173
Speaker 1: of think maybe we have.

646
00:32:09,213 --> 00:32:12,973
Speaker 2: Yeah, this year it's just been several different injuries. Seems

647
00:32:12,973 --> 00:32:14,693
Speaker 2: to have lost a step. If you look at his

648
00:32:14,773 --> 00:32:16,933
Speaker 2: rushing stats, even when he did have some healthy games,

649
00:32:16,933 --> 00:32:19,253
Speaker 2: he's not running it as much. I feel like he's

650
00:32:19,373 --> 00:32:21,653
Speaker 2: hitting that decline a little bit. So we'll still have

651
00:32:21,653 --> 00:32:25,053
Speaker 2: some good football left, but the MVP caliber Lamar I

652
00:32:25,093 --> 00:32:26,093
Speaker 2: think is behind us.

653
00:32:26,413 --> 00:32:29,853
Speaker 1: Well. I do think when he hits that moment, and

654
00:32:29,893 --> 00:32:31,653
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's hit it yet, I'm not

655
00:32:31,693 --> 00:32:35,773
Speaker 1: willing it, but like he'll fall the planet, like I

656
00:32:35,773 --> 00:32:39,093
Speaker 1: think it'll it'll be like you know, I mean, that's

657
00:32:39,133 --> 00:32:41,653
Speaker 1: kind of what happened to Michael Vick. It was just

658
00:32:41,733 --> 00:32:43,933
Speaker 1: over at some point. You know, he had that one

659
00:32:43,973 --> 00:32:46,053
Speaker 1: good year coming back for the Eagles and then it

660
00:32:46,093 --> 00:32:48,773
Speaker 1: was just over. Like like it's just I kind of

661
00:32:48,813 --> 00:32:52,293
Speaker 1: worry about with him. Russell Wilson, it was just kind

662
00:32:52,293 --> 00:32:54,933
Speaker 1: of you know, all of a sudden, it was just

663
00:32:55,093 --> 00:32:56,973
Speaker 1: it was just over there.

664
00:32:57,533 --> 00:33:01,133
Speaker 3: They're guys who well, I mean those are not those

665
00:33:01,213 --> 00:33:02,653
Speaker 3: quarterbacks are all not the same.

666
00:33:03,173 --> 00:33:05,573
Speaker 1: But but there just hits a moment for some dudes

667
00:33:05,573 --> 00:33:08,053
Speaker 1: when you're not just a guy relying on your arm

668
00:33:08,093 --> 00:33:09,693
Speaker 1: when you're doing it. I wonder if it allading to

669
00:33:09,773 --> 00:33:12,293
Speaker 1: Josh Allen at some point, like, is there gonna come

670
00:33:12,293 --> 00:33:14,373
Speaker 1: a point that he just hits a wall. I hope

671
00:33:14,373 --> 00:33:17,773
Speaker 1: that hasn't happened for Lamar because he's my favorite player. Yeah,

672
00:33:17,813 --> 00:33:20,773
Speaker 1: and for the Ravens too. They're in a win now moment.

673
00:33:20,853 --> 00:33:23,653
Speaker 2: They completely wasted this season and win now Derrick Henry,

674
00:33:24,213 --> 00:33:26,453
Speaker 2: you know, even though he seems like a robot that's

675
00:33:26,453 --> 00:33:28,893
Speaker 2: not gonna last forever. You went out and got DeAndre Hopkins,

676
00:33:28,933 --> 00:33:31,093
Speaker 2: who's getting old. I mean, this was a win now

677
00:33:31,173 --> 00:33:37,013
Speaker 2: season and they've completely dropped the ball. Yeah, well, tough,

678
00:33:37,053 --> 00:33:37,693
Speaker 2: tough loss.

679
00:33:37,693 --> 00:33:40,253
Speaker 1: And now you know the Bills were hoping for that

680
00:33:40,333 --> 00:33:43,013
Speaker 1: loss to have a chance to actually win the division.

681
00:33:43,053 --> 00:33:45,973
Speaker 1: That makes that's almost impossible at this point. All right,

682
00:33:46,013 --> 00:33:47,573
Speaker 1: let's go through a lot of these other ones. We'll

683
00:33:47,613 --> 00:33:50,613
Speaker 1: kind of go quickly. The Eagles beat the Commanders. I

684
00:33:50,613 --> 00:33:52,773
Speaker 1: didn't watch one minute of this game, so one of

685
00:33:52,773 --> 00:33:55,013
Speaker 1: you has to tell me something that matters from this.

686
00:33:56,453 --> 00:33:58,453
Speaker 2: Marcus Mariota got hurt, so they had to turn to

687
00:33:58,533 --> 00:34:00,133
Speaker 2: Josh Johnson for the Commanders.

688
00:34:00,373 --> 00:34:02,013
Speaker 1: That's what he's still in the league.

689
00:34:02,293 --> 00:34:04,933
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, the true backup quarterback champion.

690
00:34:05,693 --> 00:34:10,452
Speaker 1: Josh Johnson. Yeah, there's a name I haven't thought about

691
00:34:10,533 --> 00:34:13,613
Speaker 1: a long time. So when I thought he was a.

692
00:34:13,533 --> 00:34:17,652
Speaker 4: Singer, now it was his nineteen since two thousand and nine,

693
00:34:18,573 --> 00:34:19,292
Speaker 4: the Commander.

694
00:34:20,013 --> 00:34:22,373
Speaker 1: How was he great?

695
00:34:22,652 --> 00:34:27,013
Speaker 4: No, he was bad. But the Eagles they clinched the

696
00:34:27,013 --> 00:34:29,692
Speaker 4: division and it's the first repeat champion in that division

697
00:34:29,732 --> 00:34:31,573
Speaker 4: in twenty years, so that I remember.

698
00:34:31,692 --> 00:34:35,172
Speaker 1: I saw that statistic. That's an amazing statistic. Although Eagles

699
00:34:35,212 --> 00:34:38,172
Speaker 1: fans to have won the division still have a shot

700
00:34:38,172 --> 00:34:40,853
Speaker 1: at like winning the super Bowl, they hate their team,

701
00:34:41,053 --> 00:34:44,093
Speaker 1: just hate it, like they hate them so much. I

702
00:34:44,573 --> 00:34:46,692
Speaker 1: now want to watch the game just to try to

703
00:34:46,732 --> 00:34:48,533
Speaker 1: remember what Josh Johnson looked like.

704
00:34:49,093 --> 00:34:51,412
Speaker 3: I have no visual in my face, but I feel

705
00:34:51,413 --> 00:34:54,373
Speaker 3: like I've seen him a lot well, other than Washington

706
00:34:54,453 --> 00:34:55,692
Speaker 3: running out of quarterbacks.

707
00:34:55,772 --> 00:34:58,613
Speaker 2: The other story is the Eagles went for two up

708
00:34:58,652 --> 00:35:01,532
Speaker 2: by seventeen with four minutes left in Atlanta and turned

709
00:35:01,533 --> 00:35:04,413
Speaker 2: into a brawl. Pretty good fight, lots and lots of fists.

710
00:35:04,413 --> 00:35:09,533
Speaker 2: Things in my field i've been. I have no patience

711
00:35:09,533 --> 00:35:11,333
Speaker 2: for people complaining about that stuff.

712
00:35:11,533 --> 00:35:16,412
Speaker 1: Stop them? Who cares? When did these athletes? Like when

713
00:35:16,413 --> 00:35:20,093
Speaker 1: did they get their feelings hurt? So much like it

714
00:35:20,172 --> 00:35:24,292
Speaker 1: when you played as a kid, Did you ever go Okay, everyone,

715
00:35:24,453 --> 00:35:27,812
Speaker 1: there's a minute left, let's stop trying. No. No, One's like,

716
00:35:28,453 --> 00:35:31,332
Speaker 1: why do we expect these athletes to stop? Plus there

717
00:35:31,332 --> 00:35:36,133
Speaker 1: were what seven minutes to go, like even less? Why

718
00:35:36,133 --> 00:35:38,012
Speaker 1: can't they go for it? It's like there was six

719
00:35:38,133 --> 00:35:39,013
Speaker 1: seconds left.

720
00:35:39,852 --> 00:35:41,332
Speaker 2: Thought they were running up on him. I think it

721
00:35:41,372 --> 00:35:44,492
Speaker 2: started with two defensive back shoving. The lineman knocked one over,

722
00:35:44,533 --> 00:35:46,972
Speaker 2: and next thing you know, the bench is cleared. Uh

723
00:35:47,013 --> 00:35:49,212
Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley, I can't remember who he said. He was

724
00:35:49,252 --> 00:35:52,292
Speaker 2: running towards the pile and someone from the commanders, maybe Wagner,

725
00:35:52,332 --> 00:35:55,133
Speaker 2: stopped him. Was like, don't don't go in there and

726
00:35:55,493 --> 00:35:58,572
Speaker 2: gets this mess like a bunch of people. You're gonna

727
00:35:58,573 --> 00:36:02,732
Speaker 2: break a hand on a helmet, You're gonna get the reserves. Reserves, Yeah, Like,

728
00:36:02,772 --> 00:36:04,932
Speaker 2: what are we doing here? If the game's over? Let's

729
00:36:04,933 --> 00:36:05,613
Speaker 2: not mess with this.

730
00:36:05,732 --> 00:36:09,012
Speaker 1: I like it hockey where and this happened the other

731
00:36:09,093 --> 00:36:12,972
Speaker 1: night when the Hurricanes played the Panthers. Two players were

732
00:36:13,013 --> 00:36:16,093
Speaker 1: mad at each other, but it was like Andrew Marchan,

733
00:36:16,133 --> 00:36:18,893
Speaker 1: who's like the Panthers' best player, and it was Aho,

734
00:36:19,013 --> 00:36:22,013
Speaker 1: who's like the Hurricanes's best player. And so they appointed

735
00:36:22,053 --> 00:36:26,973
Speaker 1: two other guys to fight for them enforcers. Yeah, but

736
00:36:27,133 --> 00:36:30,053
Speaker 1: like they went on, they literally almost went on the

737
00:36:30,053 --> 00:36:33,853
Speaker 1: ice like ceremonial. You and I have to fight because

738
00:36:33,893 --> 00:36:37,212
Speaker 1: they're too good to fight. I was like, only in

739
00:36:37,772 --> 00:36:40,452
Speaker 1: hockey is that the case? Football has that too, though.

740
00:36:40,453 --> 00:36:42,613
Speaker 1: If you're if you're a reserve, if you're a special teamer,

741
00:36:42,732 --> 00:36:43,133
Speaker 1: you fight.

742
00:36:43,772 --> 00:36:43,972
Speaker 4: Yeah.

743
00:36:43,973 --> 00:36:46,252
Speaker 2: I've always thought if I was in a bench clearing brawl,

744
00:36:46,252 --> 00:36:48,573
Speaker 2: which I wouldn't because I don't play sports, but I

745
00:36:48,573 --> 00:36:50,732
Speaker 2: would find someone and that doesn't want to fight either,

746
00:36:50,852 --> 00:36:53,212
Speaker 2: lock up and we'll just kind of maneuver and.

747
00:36:54,652 --> 00:36:56,772
Speaker 1: They lock up and then they just skate in a

748
00:36:56,812 --> 00:37:00,533
Speaker 1: circle and hold each other. Yeah, that's the we were fighting,

749
00:37:00,573 --> 00:37:02,973
Speaker 1: but we're not. We're we agree we're both too pretty

750
00:37:03,013 --> 00:37:03,372
Speaker 1: for this.

751
00:37:04,013 --> 00:37:05,573
Speaker 2: We just wanted to a little good on camera that

752
00:37:05,573 --> 00:37:07,573
Speaker 2: we were there for our teammates, but we're not actually

753
00:37:07,652 --> 00:37:08,292
Speaker 2: mixing it up.

754
00:37:08,493 --> 00:37:10,772
Speaker 1: That's what Mike Greenberg does at ESPN, by the way,

755
00:37:11,093 --> 00:37:13,812
Speaker 1: he lets the other guys fight, and then Mike Greenberg

756
00:37:13,893 --> 00:37:16,292
Speaker 1: he grabs Joe Buck and they just circle around in

757
00:37:16,332 --> 00:37:18,412
Speaker 1: circles and make sure not to hit each other.

758
00:37:20,372 --> 00:37:23,892
Speaker 2: Well after this, after this Commander's fight, dan Quinn said,

759
00:37:23,933 --> 00:37:25,572
Speaker 2: we'll see you on in two weeks because I guess

760
00:37:25,573 --> 00:37:27,212
Speaker 2: they play again. I don't know what they're going to

761
00:37:27,252 --> 00:37:29,332
Speaker 2: do in two weeks because they have Josh Johnson as

762
00:37:29,332 --> 00:37:30,972
Speaker 2: their quarterback with this ain't over.

763
00:37:31,332 --> 00:37:34,252
Speaker 1: It's not over, champions, and I'm ready for the Josh

764
00:37:34,332 --> 00:37:39,692
Speaker 1: Johnson era Saints. When going away against the Jants, I

765
00:37:39,812 --> 00:37:42,493
Speaker 1: you know, you need to shut the shuck up because

766
00:37:42,533 --> 00:37:46,133
Speaker 1: he is absolutely killing it for New Orleans. Right.

767
00:37:46,212 --> 00:37:49,652
Speaker 2: No, they are very few quarterbacks playing better. I think

768
00:37:49,692 --> 00:37:52,932
Speaker 2: they have their franchise QB. That's three straight wins. He

769
00:37:53,013 --> 00:37:55,172
Speaker 2: was connected with the Lave all day, had like one

770
00:37:55,252 --> 00:37:57,852
Speaker 2: hundred and forty yards, two touchdowns. He made a few

771
00:37:57,852 --> 00:38:01,533
Speaker 2: impressive throws, one kind of similar to that Drake maythrow

772
00:38:01,613 --> 00:38:04,292
Speaker 2: you mentioned. So yeah, it looks like New Orleans might

773
00:38:04,292 --> 00:38:05,692
Speaker 2: have found some life and Neil.

774
00:38:05,533 --> 00:38:08,532
Speaker 4: Shuck While we're talking Saints, Taysom Hill became the first

775
00:38:08,533 --> 00:38:10,333
Speaker 4: player in the Super Bowl era to have a thousand

776
00:38:10,413 --> 00:38:12,733
Speaker 4: yards passing, rushing and receiving in a career.

777
00:38:14,372 --> 00:38:17,412
Speaker 1: HM, that's an interesting stat That's another dude who's been

778
00:38:17,453 --> 00:38:20,652
Speaker 1: playing since the sixties. I mean, like, and he's for

779
00:38:20,732 --> 00:38:25,292
Speaker 1: a guy who is like essentially like a utility infielder

780
00:38:25,332 --> 00:38:27,893
Speaker 1: of football. The fact that he's been on the same team,

781
00:38:28,093 --> 00:38:30,772
Speaker 1: he's got to be the Saint that's played well, aving

782
00:38:30,812 --> 00:38:33,692
Speaker 1: Kamar if he's still in the league, but otherwise, he's

783
00:38:33,692 --> 00:38:35,972
Speaker 1: got to be the longest serving Saint, right.

784
00:38:36,973 --> 00:38:39,212
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy. It's so weird that it's only been

785
00:38:39,252 --> 00:38:41,532
Speaker 2: one of him and he just his last so long

786
00:38:41,732 --> 00:38:45,412
Speaker 2: and he threw that long touchdown today. It's elave So,

787
00:38:45,493 --> 00:38:47,613
Speaker 2: I mean, he's out there contrued as Billy said, he

788
00:38:47,652 --> 00:38:49,573
Speaker 2: does it all and there's never been a utility player

789
00:38:49,652 --> 00:38:49,972
Speaker 2: like him.

790
00:38:50,212 --> 00:38:53,652
Speaker 1: Multiple coaches too, Like, I mean, he continues to stay

791
00:38:53,893 --> 00:38:56,212
Speaker 1: no matter what the regime. It's like, we gotta have

792
00:38:56,292 --> 00:38:59,453
Speaker 1: our And they always call him a utility knife, which

793
00:39:00,533 --> 00:39:03,053
Speaker 1: I don't know, like do people under the age of

794
00:39:03,093 --> 00:39:05,613
Speaker 1: thirty carry utility knives anymore?

795
00:39:06,292 --> 00:39:10,372
Speaker 2: I think it's DoD ether if you carry a knife. No, No,

796
00:39:11,413 --> 00:39:13,053
Speaker 2: I had one when I was a cub scout. That

797
00:39:13,292 --> 00:39:14,133
Speaker 2: didn't last longer.

798
00:39:14,212 --> 00:39:16,332
Speaker 1: I remember my grandfather would be like, no man goes

799
00:39:16,332 --> 00:39:17,133
Speaker 1: without a knife.

800
00:39:17,172 --> 00:39:19,292
Speaker 3: And now I love my grandfather, but that seems like

801
00:39:19,332 --> 00:39:21,053
Speaker 3: a psychotic thing to have said.

802
00:39:22,013 --> 00:39:24,253
Speaker 2: Well, my grandfather would pull his knife out of his pocket.

803
00:39:24,292 --> 00:39:26,212
Speaker 2: It would be dirty, and he'd carve an apple and

804
00:39:26,292 --> 00:39:28,613
Speaker 2: eat off the knife, like the knife. He had always

805
00:39:28,613 --> 00:39:30,332
Speaker 2: had the knife. It was used for everything.

806
00:39:30,413 --> 00:39:33,932
Speaker 1: But that person just walking around with a knife, Now,

807
00:39:34,053 --> 00:39:36,492
Speaker 1: I think I would call authorities. I'd be like, this

808
00:39:36,573 --> 00:39:39,332
Speaker 1: man has a knife and we're at the burger key.

809
00:39:39,973 --> 00:39:42,212
Speaker 1: But like there was a time that everyone did that.

810
00:39:42,692 --> 00:39:47,093
Speaker 1: Apparently they carried their own. Taysom Hill. The Bills played

811
00:39:47,453 --> 00:39:51,012
Speaker 1: the Browns twenty three twenty. I knew this game would

812
00:39:51,013 --> 00:39:52,812
Speaker 1: be closer than it should be. I knew the Bills

813
00:39:52,812 --> 00:39:55,692
Speaker 1: would play down in the competition. I didn't realize that

814
00:39:55,692 --> 00:39:59,452
Speaker 1: Shador Sanders would take three straight sacks on the game

815
00:39:59,453 --> 00:40:02,613
Speaker 1: winning play and it would be fourth and forty three.

816
00:40:04,093 --> 00:40:07,732
Speaker 1: He didn't play play good, he didn't play terrible, but

817
00:40:07,772 --> 00:40:12,172
Speaker 1: he had a chance and then a terrible final drive. Yeah,

818
00:40:12,172 --> 00:40:14,532
Speaker 1: he started off grade he ended up going the wrong way.

819
00:40:14,852 --> 00:40:17,212
Speaker 1: He completed his first eight passes and scored on the

820
00:40:17,212 --> 00:40:19,772
Speaker 1: opening drive. Can we get a shout out for Harold

821
00:40:19,772 --> 00:40:22,732
Speaker 1: Finn and Junior? By the way, from where from from

822
00:40:22,732 --> 00:40:25,613
Speaker 1: bowling grind? That's another touchdown. I saw. I saw a

823
00:40:25,613 --> 00:40:29,093
Speaker 1: tweet while I was sitting on the airplane where somebody

824
00:40:29,133 --> 00:40:34,053
Speaker 1: wrote people didn't think Harold Fannin could play in the NFL,

825
00:40:34,212 --> 00:40:36,892
Speaker 1: and he showed him and I thought, well, I know

826
00:40:37,013 --> 00:40:41,373
Speaker 1: one person that did. I know one person that believed

827
00:40:41,453 --> 00:40:44,452
Speaker 1: in Harold Fannin Junior. Well how about today?

828
00:40:44,493 --> 00:40:47,613
Speaker 2: He set the Brown single season record for most receptions

829
00:40:47,652 --> 00:40:50,493
Speaker 2: by a rookie with his sixty seven and it was

830
00:40:50,533 --> 00:40:52,893
Speaker 2: a touchdown, and he hit the six seven when he scored.

831
00:40:52,973 --> 00:40:54,172
Speaker 1: So what a day from my again?

832
00:40:54,252 --> 00:40:55,252
Speaker 4: A rushing touchdown?

833
00:40:57,292 --> 00:40:59,892
Speaker 1: Yeah he did. He was one of they brought him

834
00:40:59,893 --> 00:41:04,133
Speaker 1: in there for the rushing touchdown. So Hill's win. I

835
00:41:04,172 --> 00:41:06,053
Speaker 1: still don't know whether Chador's.

836
00:41:05,613 --> 00:41:06,013
Speaker 4: Good or not.

837
00:41:06,172 --> 00:41:07,852
Speaker 1: I think we're going to be like that, probably for

838
00:41:07,933 --> 00:41:24,293
Speaker 1: his entire career. I want to pause just a second,

839
00:41:24,332 --> 00:41:28,093
Speaker 1: show something. Look what I bought. This is my Tom

840
00:41:28,133 --> 00:41:30,133
Speaker 1: Heart said I needed a car. Now you can see

841
00:41:30,172 --> 00:41:32,772
Speaker 1: this as big Tom Heart said, said, I need a

842
00:41:32,812 --> 00:41:35,172
Speaker 1: card to put the lineup on and all this. So

843
00:41:35,212 --> 00:41:37,852
Speaker 1: I bought these two pieces of poster board. Look at that.

844
00:41:38,212 --> 00:41:40,613
Speaker 1: Here you go, and this is going to be I'm

845
00:41:40,652 --> 00:41:42,452
Speaker 1: going to work on this tomorrow. But this is my

846
00:41:42,692 --> 00:41:47,613
Speaker 1: chart where I will put the the you know, rosters

847
00:41:47,652 --> 00:41:48,413
Speaker 1: for both teams.

848
00:41:48,413 --> 00:41:51,773
Speaker 4: Those are giant, Like that's like an art project board.

849
00:41:52,613 --> 00:41:54,732
Speaker 1: That's exactly what it is, an art project board. But

850
00:41:54,772 --> 00:41:56,893
Speaker 1: they didn't have the one was just like the size

851
00:41:56,893 --> 00:41:59,053
Speaker 1: of a sheet of paper, and the other one was massive.

852
00:41:59,093 --> 00:42:01,172
Speaker 1: This was like the only middle size they had.

853
00:42:01,292 --> 00:42:03,172
Speaker 2: So do you have a color, you have a bunch

854
00:42:03,212 --> 00:42:05,652
Speaker 2: of markers to be color coordinated, or you got I have.

855
00:42:05,772 --> 00:42:08,613
Speaker 1: Mark I don't. I'm just gonna use one color. I'm

856
00:42:08,652 --> 00:42:11,212
Speaker 1: not gonna be all wild. I don't. Also don't have

857
00:42:11,292 --> 00:42:14,573
Speaker 1: all that much time. Can I give you a stat

858
00:42:14,732 --> 00:42:18,292
Speaker 1: I learned about each team? We'd love yes, Please let

859
00:42:18,332 --> 00:42:21,013
Speaker 1: me start with Western Kentucky. Well, did you know Western

860
00:42:21,093 --> 00:42:25,572
Speaker 1: Kentucky has had a top three round draft pick each

861
00:42:25,652 --> 00:42:29,292
Speaker 1: of the last four seasons. They're the only team and

862
00:42:29,772 --> 00:42:31,933
Speaker 1: the group of five that has done that. They Western

863
00:42:32,013 --> 00:42:33,812
Speaker 1: Kentucky has had a guy picked in the top three

864
00:42:33,893 --> 00:42:36,933
Speaker 1: rounds the NFL Draft the last four years. Isn't that amazing?

865
00:42:37,692 --> 00:42:40,452
Speaker 1: It's impressive. I'm trying to think a bit more of

866
00:42:40,453 --> 00:42:42,932
Speaker 1: a reaction from you all on that. I think that's

867
00:42:42,973 --> 00:42:45,412
Speaker 1: crazy for a school like Western Kentucky. I was looking

868
00:42:45,453 --> 00:42:47,292
Speaker 1: at Billy and the alum and he's just acting like

869
00:42:47,332 --> 00:42:49,093
Speaker 1: business as usual for Western over there.

870
00:42:49,133 --> 00:42:50,932
Speaker 4: It's been like this for like a decade or so.

871
00:42:51,053 --> 00:42:53,533
Speaker 4: They've they've been a little bit of a stepics for

872
00:42:53,533 --> 00:42:54,092
Speaker 4: four years.

873
00:42:54,133 --> 00:42:56,573
Speaker 1: As I said in the stats, it's not been a decade.

874
00:42:56,893 --> 00:42:58,692
Speaker 1: It's been that way for four years.

875
00:42:58,852 --> 00:43:01,613
Speaker 4: Yeah, So who is that? Like Malachi Corley and Bailey

876
00:43:01,732 --> 00:43:04,013
Speaker 4: Zappy or uh?

877
00:43:04,053 --> 00:43:06,573
Speaker 1: And then there was a defensive player I think class year.

878
00:43:06,493 --> 00:43:10,413
Speaker 4: Was the often stout on the forty nine ers.

879
00:43:11,573 --> 00:43:16,172
Speaker 1: Then I will tell you for Utah or Senior Southern

880
00:43:16,172 --> 00:43:19,252
Speaker 1: miss The new coach is Blake Anderson. This is his

881
00:43:19,252 --> 00:43:22,613
Speaker 1: first game. So interesting story he was they named him

882
00:43:22,613 --> 00:43:26,932
Speaker 1: the interim coach for the bowl game and because the

883
00:43:26,933 --> 00:43:29,493
Speaker 1: coach left, and he said, well, I would like to

884
00:43:29,493 --> 00:43:31,692
Speaker 1: be the full time coach, and they said no, we're

885
00:43:31,732 --> 00:43:35,932
Speaker 1: having a coaching search. So they made him interview. They

886
00:43:36,013 --> 00:43:39,252
Speaker 1: made him meant the like, they made him do all

887
00:43:39,332 --> 00:43:43,053
Speaker 1: the same things that they made other candidates do and

888
00:43:43,093 --> 00:43:47,172
Speaker 1: then they still picked it, so which is interesting. You

889
00:43:47,172 --> 00:43:49,692
Speaker 1: would think like he was already there, he had been

890
00:43:50,013 --> 00:43:52,892
Speaker 1: working there, but they ended up picking him. What I

891
00:43:53,013 --> 00:43:55,852
Speaker 1: like about him is at his press conference he had

892
00:43:55,893 --> 00:43:59,252
Speaker 1: frosted tips in his hair. He's a fifty five year

893
00:43:59,292 --> 00:44:01,652
Speaker 1: old man and he came to the opening press and

894
00:44:01,893 --> 00:44:06,292
Speaker 1: press conference with frosted tips, which I kind of gave

895
00:44:06,372 --> 00:44:08,172
Speaker 1: him a hard time about today on the radio. I

896
00:44:08,212 --> 00:44:09,772
Speaker 1: was like, you show up. You showed up at your

897
00:44:09,772 --> 00:44:11,613
Speaker 1: prescott because I saw a picture of Mary this year

898
00:44:11,613 --> 00:44:14,533
Speaker 1: didn't have frosted tips. He got frosted.

899
00:44:14,093 --> 00:44:18,053
Speaker 4: Tips mid tips. Wow, huh mid.

900
00:44:18,292 --> 00:44:20,652
Speaker 3: The opening for the like he didn't have it a

901
00:44:20,692 --> 00:44:23,933
Speaker 3: few weeks ago, so he got it for the opening

902
00:44:23,973 --> 00:44:24,773
Speaker 3: presscott Lins.

903
00:44:26,332 --> 00:44:28,252
Speaker 2: So do you think maybe the second interview is like

904
00:44:28,493 --> 00:44:30,613
Speaker 2: is he did you already have the frosted tips or

905
00:44:30,652 --> 00:44:32,613
Speaker 2: is he so confident after the interviews.

906
00:44:32,252 --> 00:44:35,772
Speaker 1: Like maybe he got the frosted tips and they were like, no,

907
00:44:35,812 --> 00:44:38,852
Speaker 1: wait a minute, we need to do this interview. Oh

908
00:44:38,973 --> 00:44:39,772
Speaker 1: that's what happened.

909
00:44:40,093 --> 00:44:43,093
Speaker 2: He was his normal self, got the frosted tips, Like

910
00:44:43,133 --> 00:44:45,973
Speaker 2: we don't know this version. We need to re meet you. Again,

911
00:44:46,493 --> 00:44:49,093
Speaker 2: we need to start from some square one. Blake, are

912
00:44:49,133 --> 00:44:50,692
Speaker 2: you going through a midlife crisis?

913
00:44:50,732 --> 00:44:54,852
Speaker 1: Now? What is happening? Anyway? By the way, I have

914
00:44:54,852 --> 00:44:57,573
Speaker 1: to meet him tomorrow for a coaches so I don't know.

915
00:44:57,652 --> 00:45:01,852
Speaker 1: I may not bring up the tips in person. He's

916
00:45:01,852 --> 00:45:05,812
Speaker 1: probably listening to this. Your Titans won against him. How

917
00:45:05,893 --> 00:45:06,852
Speaker 1: was that? Well?

918
00:45:06,893 --> 00:45:09,172
Speaker 2: Remember I told you all last week this would happen.

919
00:45:09,252 --> 00:45:11,852
Speaker 2: We just keep getting better and better. Ward made some

920
00:45:11,973 --> 00:45:14,332
Speaker 2: awesome throws. I'm really starting to believe in him. He's

921
00:45:14,332 --> 00:45:17,973
Speaker 2: getting better each week. DK Receiver. They connected on some

922
00:45:18,053 --> 00:45:21,452
Speaker 2: big plays. We're using big Jeffrey Simmons on offense and

923
00:45:21,533 --> 00:45:24,332
Speaker 2: back to back weeks. Who cares throw it out there?

924
00:45:24,413 --> 00:45:27,213
Speaker 2: We're having fun. I was in on the tank before,

925
00:45:27,292 --> 00:45:29,133
Speaker 2: but I got admit I was very happy for them

926
00:45:29,172 --> 00:45:30,493
Speaker 2: to win the last couple of weeks.

927
00:45:30,772 --> 00:45:35,053
Speaker 1: So Gardner Minshew followed up Pat Mahomes' ACL Tayor with

Speaker 1: Ever heard of that guy and now he's gonna play.

00:45:51,292 --> 00:45:53,412
Speaker 1: He's gonna start the next two games. I would assume, right.

935
00:45:54,013 --> 00:45:57,053
Speaker 2: Uh, he has to start Christmas Day against the Broncos.

936
00:45:57,093 --> 00:45:59,533
Speaker 2: How much do you make the schedule with the TV schedule?

937
00:45:59,613 --> 00:46:03,453
Speaker 2: Hates that alaca do. That reminds me of my favorite

938
00:46:03,533 --> 00:46:05,052
Speaker 2: nickname of any athlete ever.

939
00:46:05,172 --> 00:46:07,652
Speaker 1: Billy Drew. Ain't know this, but there was a guy

940
00:46:07,812 --> 00:46:12,652
Speaker 1: basketball player named Mama do in Ja and on Sports Center,

941
00:46:12,732 --> 00:46:16,412
Speaker 1: one of the announcers said, ain't nobody love him like

942
00:46:16,493 --> 00:46:19,412
Speaker 1: his Mama do in Jab. It's one of the all

943
00:46:19,453 --> 00:46:22,452
Speaker 1: time great A good one. That's that's I think you like.

944
00:46:22,533 --> 00:46:25,332
Speaker 1: You don't get a better nickname than that, so olaka

945
00:46:25,453 --> 00:46:30,892
Speaker 1: do Uh. He's the Christmas Day games, He's starting one

946
00:46:30,933 --> 00:46:33,852
Speaker 1: of them. Josh Johnson could be starting the other one,

947
00:46:33,933 --> 00:46:36,573
Speaker 1: and Max Brosmer could be starting the other one. Christmas

948
00:46:36,652 --> 00:46:41,972
Speaker 1: Day took a huge hit with the injuries. Three. Yeah, well,

949
00:46:42,013 --> 00:46:44,732
Speaker 1: now you can actually see your family during that. Uh.

950
00:46:45,852 --> 00:46:50,492
Speaker 1: As opposed to as opposed to watching football, Chargers beat Cowboys.

951
00:46:50,973 --> 00:46:53,933
Speaker 1: I didn't see one minute of this anything that I

952
00:46:53,933 --> 00:46:55,892
Speaker 1: would need to have seen. Uh.

953
00:46:56,292 --> 00:46:59,133
Speaker 2: Cowboys went up earlier looking pretty good. Pickings had a

954
00:46:59,133 --> 00:47:02,173
Speaker 2: big game, but the Chargers just came back and pulled away.

955
00:47:03,292 --> 00:47:04,812
Speaker 2: Herbert had a pretty good game. It was just a

956
00:47:04,852 --> 00:47:08,533
Speaker 2: pretty standard, uh you know, nothing nothing too out of

957
00:47:08,533 --> 00:47:11,012
Speaker 2: the ordinary other than Cowboys blowing that early lead.

958
00:47:11,133 --> 00:47:13,972
Speaker 4: No Dallas quarterback has ever led the NFL in passing yards.

959
00:47:14,053 --> 00:47:16,573
Speaker 4: Dack is on pace to do that. And Harball has

960
00:47:16,613 --> 00:47:20,212
Speaker 4: a new saying. It's called the worm has turned. And

961
00:47:20,453 --> 00:47:21,452
Speaker 4: I didn't look it up.

962
00:47:21,533 --> 00:47:23,413
Speaker 1: But what's wrong with that?

963
00:47:23,613 --> 00:47:26,133
Speaker 4: Is that is say, what, oh what is this? I

964
00:47:26,172 --> 00:47:26,732
Speaker 4: didn't know that.

965
00:47:27,093 --> 00:47:28,892
Speaker 3: No, I mean that's the same. I don't know what

966
00:47:28,973 --> 00:47:31,252
Speaker 3: if why? But that's like he didn't make that up?

967
00:47:31,613 --> 00:47:35,933
Speaker 1: Like that's the worm has turned is a thing you say,

968
00:47:35,973 --> 00:47:38,252
Speaker 1: But why why did you look it up? No?

969
00:47:38,332 --> 00:47:39,053
Speaker 4: I did look up.

970
00:47:39,933 --> 00:47:43,853
Speaker 1: No, it has like that's a real saying, the worm

971
00:47:43,893 --> 00:47:46,212
Speaker 1: has I've heard it. I think maybe it's maybe it's

972
00:47:46,212 --> 00:47:47,172
Speaker 1: like there's something about a change.

973
00:47:47,292 --> 00:47:48,852
Speaker 4: I mean, they're changing or evolving.

974
00:47:48,893 --> 00:47:50,732
Speaker 1: They got it.

975
00:47:50,732 --> 00:47:54,613
Speaker 2: It is someone who was previously meek or long suffering

976
00:47:54,772 --> 00:47:57,892
Speaker 2: suddenly becomes assertive, defiant or fights back.

977
00:47:58,332 --> 00:48:02,133
Speaker 1: But what does but why do what? Worms do they turn?

978
00:48:02,852 --> 00:48:05,692
Speaker 1: What is that? Like? I mean worms have to turn

979
00:48:05,772 --> 00:48:10,172
Speaker 1: at some point? Why do worms turn? But you guys

980
00:48:10,652 --> 00:48:13,452
Speaker 1: getting why that's the same. Like, no, I'm telling you

981
00:48:13,453 --> 00:48:14,772
Speaker 1: what I know. I mean, they kind of said the

982
00:48:14,772 --> 00:48:18,692
Speaker 1: alligator has turned. They say the worm has turned clearly

983
00:48:18,772 --> 00:48:24,253
Speaker 1: for some reason. I'm just telling you what goes Billy

984
00:48:24,332 --> 00:48:26,373
Speaker 1: while we talk about when you look up and find

985
00:48:26,413 --> 00:48:30,573
Speaker 1: why the worm has turned. I mean, I understand the

986
00:48:30,652 --> 00:48:36,932
Speaker 1: concept of turning. The question is why do we say

987
00:48:36,973 --> 00:48:40,652
Speaker 1: the worm has turned? This is the most Jim Harball

988
00:48:40,692 --> 00:48:42,533
Speaker 1: thing you could possibly say. I know that much. I

989
00:48:42,533 --> 00:48:44,012
Speaker 1: still don't know why the way it is a real saying.

990
00:48:44,093 --> 00:48:46,652
Speaker 1: I've heard it. I just never really had contemplated me, Well,

991
00:48:46,652 --> 00:48:49,292
Speaker 1: he looks that looks that at Cowboys out of the playoffs.

992
00:48:49,292 --> 00:48:54,172
Speaker 1: So Vikings beat the Giants, Bingals beat the Dolphins. Uh,

993
00:48:54,292 --> 00:48:57,932
Speaker 1: neither of those games really matter, except I do think Mike, Uh, Mike,

994
00:48:57,973 --> 00:49:02,412
Speaker 1: and Daniel is likely gone, don't you. I don't know.

995
00:49:02,413 --> 00:49:04,212
Speaker 2: I would have thought that earlier. I think they might

996
00:49:04,292 --> 00:49:05,812
Speaker 2: keep him and get rid of to it. There is

997
00:49:05,852 --> 00:49:07,533
Speaker 2: some reports of that after the game today.

998
00:49:07,652 --> 00:49:11,452
Speaker 1: I was there. I didn't see that well too. I mean,

999
00:49:11,652 --> 00:49:13,733
Speaker 1: the problem is that they're on the hook for fifty

1000
00:49:13,772 --> 00:49:15,452
Speaker 1: million dollars or two it whether he's there or not.

1001
00:49:16,772 --> 00:49:20,613
Speaker 2: Yeah, Quinn yours actually played pretty well today. I mean

1002
00:49:20,692 --> 00:49:22,212
Speaker 2: didn't get the win between.

1003
00:49:22,013 --> 00:49:24,093
Speaker 1: The years and rookie end, but they were down what

1004
00:49:24,292 --> 00:49:26,493
Speaker 1: like thirty four to three, and then he started playing

1005
00:49:26,533 --> 00:49:27,133
Speaker 1: decently well.

1006
00:49:27,212 --> 00:49:29,613
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, just for a rookie thrown in like that,

1007
00:49:29,652 --> 00:49:31,892
Speaker 2: it could have been much worse. Burrow was insane, that's

1008
00:49:31,933 --> 00:49:34,652
Speaker 2: for sure. He had four touchdowns. Looked like the Burrow

1009
00:49:34,692 --> 00:49:37,652
Speaker 2: of all them. Fun again, they can put those Andrew

1010
00:49:37,692 --> 00:49:40,493
Speaker 2: luckincerns to bed. He was looking great out there.

1011
00:49:40,933 --> 00:49:43,652
Speaker 1: The Falcons played the Cardinals when I was in the

1012
00:49:43,652 --> 00:49:48,013
Speaker 1: Atlanta Airport. For reasons that only the people of Atlanta know,

1013
00:49:48,212 --> 00:49:51,212
Speaker 1: that was the only game available in the entire airport

1014
00:49:51,772 --> 00:49:54,013
Speaker 1: was the Falcons and the Cardinals, which is not a

1015
00:49:54,053 --> 00:49:57,452
Speaker 1: fun name game to watch. I mean, lines were playing

1016
00:49:57,453 --> 00:50:00,933
Speaker 1: the Steelers are like, nope, can't watch that anywhere. Only

1017
00:50:01,053 --> 00:50:03,133
Speaker 1: Falcons Cardinals. So I did get to see a lot

1018
00:50:03,172 --> 00:50:06,933
Speaker 1: of that victory. Texans nearly blew it to the Raiders.

1019
00:50:08,372 --> 00:50:11,332
Speaker 1: You know, Raider's been awful and they had a shot

1020
00:50:11,413 --> 00:50:14,252
Speaker 1: in this game. They did. When I first.

1021
00:50:14,013 --> 00:50:16,053
Speaker 2: Flipped over, I was shocked to see that the Raiders

1022
00:50:16,053 --> 00:50:18,893
Speaker 2: were winning. I mean, they've been terrible and you're playing

1023
00:50:18,933 --> 00:50:21,812
Speaker 2: the Texans maybe the hottest defense in the league years

1024
00:50:21,852 --> 00:50:25,172
Speaker 2: now in Houston. Yeah, and there were scoring points on them,

1025
00:50:25,172 --> 00:50:26,212
Speaker 2: but Houston was able to just.

1026
00:50:26,172 --> 00:50:27,172
Speaker 1: Hang on and win in the end.

1027
00:50:27,212 --> 00:50:29,652
Speaker 2: That would have been a terrible loss for Houston, which

1028
00:50:29,692 --> 00:50:33,053
Speaker 2: still at that point was in contention AFC South still are,

1029
00:50:33,133 --> 00:50:35,093
Speaker 2: but at that point the Jags hadn't won yet.

1030
00:50:35,093 --> 00:50:37,172
Speaker 1: That would have been a horrible loss. So why does

1031
00:50:37,212 --> 00:50:38,333
Speaker 1: the worm turn? Really?

1032
00:50:38,893 --> 00:50:42,452
Speaker 4: It comes from a fifteen forty six collection of proverbs

1033
00:50:42,453 --> 00:50:46,253
Speaker 4: by John Haywood in which he said, trade a worm

1034
00:50:46,372 --> 00:50:50,372
Speaker 4: on the tail, and it must turn again. And I

1035
00:50:50,413 --> 00:50:52,052
Speaker 4: don't know there, That's all I got.

1036
00:50:52,093 --> 00:50:55,933
Speaker 1: That still doesn't explain what that means. Trade a worm

1037
00:50:56,053 --> 00:50:57,133
Speaker 1: on the tail and.

1038
00:50:57,053 --> 00:51:00,893
Speaker 4: What and it must turn again at the time again

1039
00:51:01,093 --> 00:51:03,212
Speaker 4: also meant against or a pose.

1040
00:51:06,332 --> 00:51:10,893
Speaker 1: A worm on the tail and it must turn a game?

1041
00:51:11,732 --> 00:51:13,052
Speaker 4: Yeah, fifteen forty six.

1042
00:51:13,812 --> 00:51:17,093
Speaker 1: So I'm not even sure what that sentence means.

1043
00:51:17,852 --> 00:51:20,452
Speaker 4: I don't either, But John Haywood was was preaching it

1044
00:51:20,493 --> 00:51:22,852
Speaker 4: back in fifteen forty six about how any.

1045
00:51:22,692 --> 00:51:28,892
Speaker 1: Animals John Haywood's nonsensical poem in fifteen becomes something Jim

1046
00:51:28,933 --> 00:51:32,573
Speaker 1: Harbaugh says, I mean, I guarantee you Jim Harbaugh is

1047
00:51:32,613 --> 00:51:35,613
Speaker 1: not or you know, not read that.

1048
00:51:36,812 --> 00:51:38,692
Speaker 4: He may do. He'd be the guy. He'd be the

1049
00:51:38,692 --> 00:51:41,812
Speaker 4: coach to read this to his team. That is the same.

1050
00:51:43,372 --> 00:51:45,133
Speaker 1: I think of all the coaches, he's the most likely.

1051
00:51:45,172 --> 00:51:49,133
Speaker 1: He's the weirdest. I'm gonna neither of you have give

1052
00:51:49,172 --> 00:51:51,172
Speaker 1: him any answers. So here's what I'm gonna do. I'm

1053
00:51:51,212 --> 00:51:57,692
Speaker 1: just gonna gig google. Do worms turn? Do worms turn? Yes?

1054
00:51:57,812 --> 00:52:00,692
Speaker 1: Worms can turn. Well that doesn't answer my question either.

1055
00:52:01,533 --> 00:52:07,772
Speaker 1: M Hey stupid. All right, Next, the Bucks lost to

1056
00:52:07,852 --> 00:52:12,213
Speaker 1: the Panthers. I'll leave the floor to you. Are Bucks fan, Billy?

1057
00:52:12,573 --> 00:52:14,772
Speaker 1: How mad were you at this loss today? Yeah?

1058
00:52:14,772 --> 00:52:17,292
Speaker 4: But this was tough. I mean they started five and one,

1059
00:52:17,332 --> 00:52:20,452
Speaker 4: they're now seven and eight. Todd Bowles should be let

1060
00:52:20,493 --> 00:52:22,813
Speaker 4: go at the end of the year. It's just unacceptable.

1061
00:52:23,533 --> 00:52:25,772
Speaker 4: But you still can win the division. I mean, ultimately,

1062
00:52:26,613 --> 00:52:29,332
Speaker 4: you played the Panthers twice. You just need to win

1063
00:52:29,453 --> 00:52:31,733
Speaker 4: one of the two. So if you had won today,

1064
00:52:31,973 --> 00:52:33,333
Speaker 4: I think you were in really good shape.

1065
00:52:33,332 --> 00:52:35,372
Speaker 1: Now as I see it, it's basically whoever wins the

1066
00:52:35,372 --> 00:52:37,772
Speaker 1: next one, the Panthers will have to beat you both times.

1067
00:52:37,933 --> 00:52:40,692
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, we got to beat Miami next week. And Carolina.

1068
00:52:40,732 --> 00:52:42,532
Speaker 4: We got to win these last two and then we're in.

1069
00:52:42,732 --> 00:52:45,172
Speaker 4: But I mean then you still win the division, right, correct?

1070
00:52:45,172 --> 00:52:49,053
Speaker 4: But the magic's gone regardless, like the Baker MVP discussion,

1071
00:52:49,292 --> 00:52:52,852
Speaker 4: the litany of receivers, it's just not lining up this year.

1072
00:52:52,893 --> 00:52:55,573
Speaker 4: And I mean to lose to Carolina like that was

1073
00:52:55,652 --> 00:52:57,973
Speaker 4: just embarrassing. I mean it's I know that's a franchise

1074
00:52:57,973 --> 00:53:00,852
Speaker 4: trying to turn the corner, but I mean, you've lost

1075
00:53:00,893 --> 00:53:03,692
Speaker 4: to New Orleans, Atlanta and Carolina in three straight weeks.

1076
00:53:03,493 --> 00:53:06,013
Speaker 4: It's embarrassing. By Tom, that is embarrassing.

1077
00:53:06,212 --> 00:53:09,013
Speaker 1: I was happy to see when it was the NFC

1078
00:53:09,093 --> 00:53:12,012
Speaker 1: Champ South, you know, one of the it's a game

1079
00:53:12,212 --> 00:53:14,452
Speaker 1: between the top two teams, because glad they gave it

1080
00:53:14,453 --> 00:53:16,772
Speaker 1: to Chris Myers. I thought they wouldn't reward him for

1081
00:53:16,852 --> 00:53:20,452
Speaker 1: all of his NFC South service. They did, so that

1082
00:53:20,533 --> 00:53:22,252
Speaker 1: made me very happy for you.

1083
00:53:22,493 --> 00:53:25,492
Speaker 4: I thought of you guys because Chris Meyers said, I've

1084
00:53:25,533 --> 00:53:28,692
Speaker 4: never heard of December crowd in Carolina quite like this.

1085
00:53:29,133 --> 00:53:35,573
Speaker 1: Well, he would know, he would definitely know. You can

1086
00:53:35,613 --> 00:53:41,093
Speaker 1: take that to the bank. I didn't know. He said that.

1087
00:53:41,093 --> 00:53:45,692
Speaker 1: That's great. There's no one I trust more to measure

1088
00:53:45,732 --> 00:53:50,172
Speaker 1: the volume of Carolina crowds than Chris Myers. I would

1089
00:53:50,212 --> 00:53:52,373
Speaker 1: trust him more than I would the guy who owns

1090
00:53:52,372 --> 00:53:56,372
Speaker 1: the franchise. Actually, all right, So tonight or tomorrow night,

1091
00:53:57,133 --> 00:54:00,572
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers takes the field against the forty nine ers.

1092
00:54:00,732 --> 00:54:05,013
Speaker 1: I am extremely eager to see. I think there's a

1093
00:54:05,133 --> 00:54:10,012
Speaker 1: chance this goes horribly wrong. I also want him to win,

1094
00:54:10,372 --> 00:54:12,093
Speaker 1: and I want it to be a Disney movie. But

1095
00:54:12,212 --> 00:54:13,933
Speaker 1: you know, it's one thing to do at once to

1096
00:54:13,933 --> 00:54:16,772
Speaker 1: another thing when your body's like, okay, we're not doing

1097
00:54:16,772 --> 00:54:20,412
Speaker 1: this again, are we? I think this could go horribly wrong.

1098
00:54:21,372 --> 00:54:24,333
Speaker 2: I can't even believe we're here where on It's almost

1099
00:54:24,413 --> 00:54:26,732
Speaker 2: Christmas and I'm excited to watch Philip.

1100
00:54:26,493 --> 00:54:28,093
Speaker 1: Rivers play football. Me too.

1101
00:54:28,172 --> 00:54:30,053
Speaker 2: If you had said this before the season began, I

1102
00:54:30,093 --> 00:54:32,332
Speaker 2: wouldn't even know what situation could get me to watching

1103
00:54:32,332 --> 00:54:35,652
Speaker 2: Philip Rivers play football. But here we are, in prime time.

1104
00:54:35,933 --> 00:54:38,093
Speaker 2: I'm gonna believe he gets it done. I think they're

1105
00:54:38,093 --> 00:54:41,613
Speaker 2: gonna win. I'm gonna do in Philip Rivers. I'm sure

1106
00:54:41,613 --> 00:54:44,533
Speaker 2: he's been on the peloton all week, if not in

1107
00:54:44,573 --> 00:54:47,693
Speaker 2: the ice tub all week. He's gonna look even better

1108
00:54:48,453 --> 00:54:51,772
Speaker 2: in his second game. Now is it Brock Party or

1109
00:54:51,772 --> 00:54:53,453
Speaker 2: Mac Jones. Again, they're the same person.

1110
00:54:53,493 --> 00:54:56,412
Speaker 1: In my mind. I think it's Brock Party, right, it

1111
00:54:56,453 --> 00:55:00,012
Speaker 1: should be Rock all right. I think they're gonna destroy them,

1112
00:55:00,533 --> 00:55:02,492
Speaker 1: But I will say this, I think it'll be an

1113
00:55:02,493 --> 00:55:05,812
Speaker 1: amazing environment when you consider the fact that if the

1114
00:55:05,852 --> 00:55:08,892
Speaker 1: Cold win, they still are set up in that last

1115
00:55:08,893 --> 00:55:11,452
Speaker 1: week of the season to play the Texans to win

1116
00:55:11,573 --> 00:55:13,892
Speaker 1: for the division. But they have to win to Mark

1117
00:55:13,933 --> 00:55:17,212
Speaker 1: so it's a must win game. It's Monday night football.

1118
00:55:17,973 --> 00:55:21,093
Speaker 1: It's this Philip River situation. I do think that will

1119
00:55:21,093 --> 00:55:25,372
Speaker 1: be a crazy good atmosphere. And what if he does it?

1120
00:55:25,652 --> 00:55:28,613
Speaker 1: What if they look good with Philip Rivers. I mean,

1121
00:55:28,652 --> 00:55:29,533
Speaker 1: come on, work with me here.

1122
00:55:29,533 --> 00:55:31,493
Speaker 2: I know you think he's gonna get killed, but the

1123
00:55:31,533 --> 00:55:32,813
Speaker 2: Colts still have a lot of talent.

1124
00:55:32,893 --> 00:55:35,732
Speaker 1: They still I don't think that's good for football. I

1125
00:55:35,772 --> 00:55:38,292
Speaker 1: don't think it's good for the sport. If it can

1126
00:55:38,332 --> 00:55:41,692
Speaker 1: be proven that a man can do nothing for five years,

1127
00:55:42,172 --> 00:55:46,213
Speaker 1: get old and fat and have to and be around kids,

1128
00:55:46,252 --> 00:55:48,692
Speaker 1: and they can come back in like three days and

1129
00:55:48,772 --> 00:55:50,932
Speaker 1: win a football game, I don't think that's good for

1130
00:55:50,973 --> 00:55:54,292
Speaker 1: the sport. I think it says like there's no other

1131
00:55:54,332 --> 00:55:57,013
Speaker 1: sport where you could do this. You can't just like

1132
00:55:58,053 --> 00:56:00,772
Speaker 1: not play baseball for five years and go hit a

1133
00:56:00,852 --> 00:56:04,293
Speaker 1: home run, right, You can't not pick up a golf

1134
00:56:04,332 --> 00:56:08,852
Speaker 1: club for five years and win the mat like this is.

1135
00:56:09,292 --> 00:56:10,773
Speaker 1: This can't happen.

1136
00:56:12,413 --> 00:56:15,212
Speaker 2: It is a bad look for like young quarterbacks with

1137
00:56:15,332 --> 00:56:17,652
Speaker 2: all the training and supplements and everything you have now.

1138
00:56:17,732 --> 00:56:21,013
Speaker 2: And Philip Rivers says into a microphone, I'm fat, and

1139
00:56:21,053 --> 00:56:21,852
Speaker 2: then goes out there.

1140
00:56:21,772 --> 00:56:24,252
Speaker 1: And plays the exact same position in the same sport.

1141
00:56:23,973 --> 00:56:26,852
Speaker 6: That the young, more athletic guys do, and he is

1142
00:56:27,093 --> 00:56:29,692
Speaker 6: I read a column somebody in Indianapolis, I think, wrote

1143
00:56:29,692 --> 00:56:33,213
Speaker 6: a column that said Philip Rivers has made me feel

1144
00:56:33,212 --> 00:56:36,612
Speaker 6: older than I ever imagined because he is only forty four.

1145
00:56:36,692 --> 00:56:39,573
Speaker 1: But we talk about him like he's Grandpaul Simpson, so

1146
00:56:39,732 --> 00:56:43,133
Speaker 1: like it kind of stinks because he's younger than I am,

1147
00:56:43,252 --> 00:56:46,493
Speaker 1: but I talk about him like he's going to that

1148
00:56:46,613 --> 00:56:51,532
Speaker 1: he fall over, And so that's also kind of phil

1149
00:56:51,692 --> 00:56:55,852
Speaker 1: demoralizing that I act like he's decrepit, but it is true.

1150
00:56:56,013 --> 00:56:57,892
Speaker 1: But I'm rooting for him. I mean, I've said a

1151
00:56:57,933 --> 00:56:59,772
Speaker 1: lot of mean things. I'm rooting for him, and I

1152
00:56:59,852 --> 00:57:02,932
Speaker 1: want it to work. And if it works, maybe they'll

1153
00:57:02,933 --> 00:57:06,973
Speaker 1: bring out more people from retirement, maybe other sports will try.

1154
00:57:07,533 --> 00:57:07,573
Speaker 4: No.

1155
00:57:07,732 --> 00:57:10,253
Speaker 1: I like that we find out that next week instead

1156
00:57:10,252 --> 00:57:12,893
Speaker 1: of Josh Johnson, we get Joe Montana.

1157
00:57:12,772 --> 00:57:16,093
Speaker 4: And Drew Brees here he comes another season on the line.

1158
00:57:16,893 --> 00:57:19,253
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I guess they can do it. I

1159
00:57:19,253 --> 00:57:20,373
Speaker 1: mean it's better than.

1160
00:57:20,333 --> 00:57:25,253
Speaker 4: Who is the guy again for the Chiefs South Dakota

1161
00:57:25,293 --> 00:57:27,973
Speaker 4: sat written down somewhere.

1162
00:57:28,213 --> 00:57:33,613
Speaker 1: Ola dunke Oli Duke Well Hola duken Ola dokin Well

1163
00:57:33,893 --> 00:57:36,693
Speaker 1: I Ola can't wait to watch him. Man. I hope

1164
00:57:36,693 --> 00:57:39,412
Speaker 1: he uh, I hope he crushes it. All right? So

1165
00:57:40,613 --> 00:57:42,133
Speaker 1: did any of us get touchdowns?

1166
00:57:42,413 --> 00:57:46,093
Speaker 4: Drew hit with JJ McCarthy with a rushing touchdown, he

1167
00:57:46,173 --> 00:57:49,492
Speaker 4: is up to four points. Matt a Houston running back

1168
00:57:49,493 --> 00:57:51,693
Speaker 4: did not score a rushing touchdown, so you stay at

1169
00:57:51,693 --> 00:57:54,093
Speaker 4: five and you check all of them, all of them

1170
00:57:54,133 --> 00:57:56,733
Speaker 4: did did not, and then Trey McBride did not score.

1171
00:57:56,773 --> 00:57:59,333
Speaker 4: So it is five five four in there.

1172
00:57:59,133 --> 00:58:01,053
Speaker 1: Trying to make a late comeback here at the end

1173
00:58:01,093 --> 00:58:01,693
Speaker 1: of the season.

1174
00:58:02,573 --> 00:58:05,093
Speaker 2: And I think the ones I've hit have been like ridiculous,

1175
00:58:05,133 --> 00:58:09,053
Speaker 2: Like when I picked Josh Allen, doesn't hit JJ McCarthy,

1176
00:58:09,053 --> 00:58:11,373
Speaker 2: who got hurt in the first quarter, hits makes no sense?

1177
00:58:11,933 --> 00:58:17,053
Speaker 1: All right, who who's the Who was your survivalley?

1178
00:58:17,293 --> 00:58:20,372
Speaker 4: It was the Saints and they did win. So we

1179
00:58:20,413 --> 00:58:22,932
Speaker 4: move on. Now do you want me to change the

1180
00:58:22,933 --> 00:58:24,813
Speaker 4: game at all? Like you said, I need to pick

1181
00:58:24,933 --> 00:58:25,733
Speaker 4: in categories?

1182
00:58:25,813 --> 00:58:26,293
Speaker 1: Next week?

1183
00:58:28,493 --> 00:58:33,893
Speaker 3: Well, well we'll have what are we doing a midweek podcast?

1184
00:58:34,013 --> 00:58:36,372
Speaker 1: Have we talked about that? It is great, Chris? What's

1185
00:58:36,413 --> 00:58:39,333
Speaker 1: our question? Yeah? Yeah, I don't know. Well, just in

1186
00:58:39,413 --> 00:58:41,972
Speaker 1: case we don't, let's go ahead and say I do

1187
00:58:42,053 --> 00:58:44,533
Speaker 1: think you need to pick in categories. So what you

1188
00:58:44,573 --> 00:58:46,333
Speaker 1: need to do is, first, is the way they do

1189
00:58:46,372 --> 00:58:50,133
Speaker 1: this is the Thursday, Friday, Saturday games. Okay, all the

1190
00:58:50,173 --> 00:58:53,573
Speaker 1: games before Sunday. You have to pick one of those.

1191
00:58:53,693 --> 00:58:55,853
Speaker 1: So what are the choices of those games?

1192
00:58:55,893 --> 00:59:01,372
Speaker 4: You've got Cowboys, Commanders, Lions, Vikings, Broncos, Chiefs, Texans, Chargers,

1193
00:59:01,453 --> 00:59:02,892
Speaker 4: and Ravens Packers.

1194
00:59:03,413 --> 00:59:05,572
Speaker 1: You have to pick one of those. So which one

1195
00:59:05,613 --> 00:59:06,972
Speaker 1: do you want of those? Well?

1196
00:59:07,013 --> 00:59:08,773
Speaker 4: Do I need to go by teams I haven't picked yet?

1197
00:59:08,813 --> 00:59:10,012
Speaker 4: Or are they all on the table? Yes?

1198
00:59:10,213 --> 00:59:12,012
Speaker 1: So no, you have to pick. It has to be

1199
00:59:12,653 --> 00:59:15,892
Speaker 1: one of these teams those five games, and it has

1200
00:59:15,933 --> 00:59:16,253
Speaker 1: to be.

1201
00:59:16,173 --> 00:59:18,492
Speaker 4: Someone that you have not well I know, I haven't picked.

1202
00:59:18,693 --> 00:59:20,333
Speaker 1: Who have you picked out of that group?

1203
00:59:20,453 --> 00:59:24,013
Speaker 4: I have picked Kansas City. I have not picked Dallas

1204
00:59:24,173 --> 00:59:25,053
Speaker 4: or Washington.

1205
00:59:26,613 --> 00:59:28,373
Speaker 1: Okay, have you picked the Lions or Vikings.

1206
00:59:28,933 --> 00:59:32,852
Speaker 4: I have not picked either of those teams, the Lines.

1207
00:59:32,653 --> 00:59:35,412
Speaker 1: Or the Texas Texans Chargers.

1208
00:59:35,133 --> 00:59:40,813
Speaker 4: Texans Chargers, I've picked both. And Ravens pack Ravens Packers.

1209
00:59:40,893 --> 00:59:42,933
Speaker 4: I have picked neither of those teams.

1210
00:59:43,573 --> 00:59:45,533
Speaker 1: All right, so you you've got some choices. Who do

1211
00:59:45,573 --> 00:59:48,492
Speaker 1: you want? See?

1212
00:59:48,533 --> 00:59:50,693
Speaker 4: This is a lot on the line here that I'm

1213
00:59:50,733 --> 00:59:53,333
Speaker 4: having to make a decision on the spot. If I

1214
00:59:53,372 --> 00:59:55,412
Speaker 4: haven't picked Denver, then I think that's the choice. I

1215
00:59:55,413 --> 00:59:58,253
Speaker 4: gotta go here, Denver, Denver.

1216
00:59:57,933 --> 01:00:00,253
Speaker 1: Well, that's certainly the choice. I mean, you're we've already

1217
01:00:00,293 --> 01:00:02,173
Speaker 1: said they're playing a quarterback none of us have heard of.

1218
01:00:02,333 --> 01:00:04,933
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I think I'll pick Denver there for that category.

1219
01:00:05,093 --> 01:00:07,973
Speaker 1: Right now, you go to sun You're gonna need to

1220
01:00:08,013 --> 01:00:11,293
Speaker 1: pick one of the Sunday or Monday. It has to

1221
01:00:11,372 --> 01:00:12,372
Speaker 1: be somebody you haven't picked.

1222
01:00:12,413 --> 01:00:16,133
Speaker 4: Okay, somebody I haven't picked. Looking through this list, here quickly,

1223
01:00:16,613 --> 01:00:19,412
Speaker 4: the Titans play the Saints Drew, How confident are you

1224
01:00:19,453 --> 01:00:20,213
Speaker 4: and cam wardering?

1225
01:00:20,372 --> 01:00:23,013
Speaker 1: Oh no, you definitely would want the Saints. There. I

1226
01:00:23,053 --> 01:00:24,012
Speaker 1: don't like that pick up.

1227
01:00:24,093 --> 01:00:25,852
Speaker 4: I've already picked the Saints, so I can't do that.

1228
01:00:25,933 --> 01:00:28,213
Speaker 4: You know, I haven't picked the Bucks yet. They have

1229
01:00:28,293 --> 01:00:31,333
Speaker 4: to win on the road in Miami. It'd be poetic

1230
01:00:31,372 --> 01:00:36,372
Speaker 4: if they lost. So give me you pick the Seahawks. Yes,

1231
01:00:36,533 --> 01:00:37,693

1249
01:01:25,852 --> 01:01:27,613
Speaker 1: right now, nothing's written on it. But this is what

1250
01:01:27,653 --> 01:01:32,013
Speaker 1: it's going to look like. And you know, you people,

1251
01:01:32,493 --> 01:01:36,773
Speaker 1: right now, you don't know much about quarterback Braylan Braxton,

01:01:36,893 --> 01:01:40,093
Speaker 1: but you're gonna know on Tuesday as he takes Southern

1253
01:01:40,133 --> 01:01:43,933
Speaker 1: miss against what is it Tisdale, the quarterback at Western

1254
01:01:44,893 --> 01:01:47,133
Speaker 1: Can ask your question, Billy, because no one's answered. Why

1255
01:01:47,333 --> 01:01:49,892
Speaker 1: did they take out their one quarterback and put in

1256
01:01:49,893 --> 01:01:54,773
Speaker 1: Tisdale halfway through the ar You got hurt Maverick mcgiver, Yeah,

1257
01:01:54,773 --> 01:01:58,133
Speaker 1: because his name was Maverick mcgiver, which is a great name,

1258
01:01:58,413 --> 01:01:58,893
Speaker 1: the best.

1259
01:01:58,813 --> 01:02:02,093

Speaker 2: in Texas.

1261
01:02:03,372 --> 01:02:05,412

1262
01:02:05,613 --> 01:02:08,013
Speaker 1: the player week three out of the first seven weeks,

1263
01:02:08,013 --> 01:02:09,892
Speaker 1: and I thought he got bitched, But him getting hurt

1264
01:02:10,213 --> 01:02:13,013
