00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 2: thirty am Eastern, We're going to have our Friday night

12
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 2: midnight hour. Hey, it's big world. It must be midnight

13
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 2: somewhere at eleven thirty. We've got to dive into this

14
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson situation. It's an oddball story that's taken a

15
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: left turn. Whose sad are you on? Are you on

16
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 2: the Broncos side. We've got data that supports his decision.

17
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: That would be Sean Payton, master of the pronoun. We've

18
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 2: got data that might suggest Russell Wilson didn't perform that poorly.

19
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 2: And now Russell Wilson singing he would really still like

20
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 2: to stay. We want to hear from him. Eleven thirty eight,

21
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 2: seven seven ninety nine on Fox the midnight hour at

22
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: eleven thirty we call and audible. Plenty of ball games tonight.

23
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 2: We'll be talking about none of them. Look it up

24
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 2: on the internet. Not that big a deal. Do I

25
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 2: love ball games? Yeah? Are there too many? No, there's plenty.

26
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 2: I like it by watching. We got more important business

27
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 2: to get to. In a minute, I'm gonna get to

28
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: what I think is the biggest story of the NFL

29
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 2: now from the couch, not Tim Couch, remember Tim Couch.

30
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:44,919
Speaker 2: From the couch to the playoffs. But first NBA history

31
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 2: was made Thursday night, and it might be made again Saturday.

32
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: You're a beloved Detroit Pistons four and a half point

33
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: home underdogs against the Toronto Raptors. Should the Pistons lose

34
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: that game twenty nine in a row. Maybe later in

35
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: the show, will I'll check in on where that well,

36
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: where that comparison in terms of all time teams that's

37
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 2: stunk and all time losing streaks, Because you know, look,

38
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, now it's not just about the streak.

39
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: I've talked to my media peeps in Detroit. This Pistons

40
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 2: team is bad. They're becoming arguably the worst team in

41
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 2: NBA history, and that's making their games a must watch.

42
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: That's making the end of their games a must watch.

43
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: You say to yourself, is tonight the night they break

44
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 2: the historic losing streak? Is it? And I relate to

45
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 2: this because remember I curved the Lions for ten years

46
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 2: pre and post, and my final year was two thousand

47
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: and eight, Rod Marinelli and the Lions went oh sixteen.

48
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 2: I was there, sought up, up close and personal. Why

49
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 2: do I bring it up? Because you could clearly see

50
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 2: as the season progressed their opponents, they did not want

51
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 2: to be the one to lose to the Lions. And

52
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: I am getting that when I watch the Pistons. All right,

53
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: Thursday night, you watched, well maybe it didn't, but you

54
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: paid attention or you at least heard about it. The

55
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: Pistons jumps out that jump out to a sixty six

56
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 2: forty nine, sixty six forty seven halftime lead against one

57
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 2: of the best teams in the NBA, the Celtics in Boston.

58
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 2: Maybe they are the best team. Now, what a story

59
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: that would have been had they beaten the Celtics in

60
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: Boston as eighteen point underdogs, if you bet the Pistons

61
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: on the money line plus nine hundred, of course you

62
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: got the rug pulled out from under your feet. But

63
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: the Pistons were plus eight thirty on the money line

64
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 2: in the first half, and you could have turned around

65
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: and bet Boston plus one to twelve to win the

66
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: game in the second half and cast both. So what happened, Well,

67
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: you know what happened. The lead evaporated in a disastrous

68
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 2: third quarter, and despite a heroic game time tippin' by

69
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: a Bogdan Boganovitch with four point one seconds left, the

70
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: Pistons could not survive over time. Celtics prevail one twenty

71
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: eight one twenty two, the longest street well now since

72
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: the twenty eight games, tying the sixers from five years ago.

73
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: But they were that was the process team. Remember they

74
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: were trying to think Detroit, who last won before Halloween.

75
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: Ironically they started out too and one this year. Yeah,

76
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 2: now they're two and twenty nine. Well, here we go

77
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 2: Saturday night. They can set the record or avoid it.

78
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 2: They face the visiting Toronto Raptors, who aren't exactly lighting

79
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: up themselves. They're twelve and eighteen. So where do the

80
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 2: Pistons go from here? I don't know, Home, dinner, maybe

81
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 2: a show. You're gonna be paying attention. We'll talk about

82
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: it on the Saturday night edition of The Bernie Frattle Show.

83
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: I think history might be made. We'll see, we'll see

84
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 2: speaking in history. With their convincing thirty seven to twenty

85
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 2: win over the New York Jets Thursday night, the Cleveland

86
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: Browns now become the third AFC team to clinch a

87
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: playoff spot, and it's only Cleveland's third postseason appearance since

88
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 2: they returned back to Cleveland in nineteen ninety nine. They

89
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 2: beat the Bengals in the season finale. Well, that would

90
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 2: give the team the most wins since eighty six, and

91
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 2: that was a super Bowl bound team until Ernest Byner

92
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 2: dropped the ball going over the goal line, which put well,

93
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: you know what happened. You can thank John Elway. It

94
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 2: has been a very tumultuous season for the Browns, but

95
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 2: it's having a happy ending. Well not that kind, you

96
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Work with me. They've started four

97
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: different players at quarterback. Kevin Stefanski the only NFL head

98
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: coach in history to win four games with four different

99
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 2: quarterbacks in the same season. They were actually five and

100
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: one in games started by Deshaun Watson. Remember him. You

101
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 2: got about two hundred and thirty eight million reasons why

102
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: you should remember him. He suffers a season shoulder injury.

103
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: On season ending shoulder injury. In November. You bring in

104
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 2: local product from Bishop Gorman High School here in Las Vegas,

105
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 2: UCLA zone, Dorian Thompson Robinson. He starts three games, and

106
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 2: then PJ. Walker started two. Thompson Robinson gets injured. Walker struggling.

107
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco entered. Joe Flacco. You gotta love Joe Flacco.

108
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 2: He's throwing for more than three hundred yards now in

109
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 2: four straight games, thirteen touchdowns. He's lighted up. He's thirty

110
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 2: eight years old. Six weeks ago, he's on his Barki lounger,

111
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: pining to get a TV job. Jets weren't interested. Nice call, Jets.

112
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 2: That was probably to save Aaron Rodgers ego, how'd that

113
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 2: work out for you? So, all of a sudden, Joe

114
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 2: Flacco starts Week thirteen against the Rams. Now the Browns

115
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 2: actually lost that game, but since then, Big Joe Flacco

116
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 2: four straight victories and he's propelled him into the playoffs.

117
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 2: Now he turns thirty nine in two weeks. Coincidentally, bop

118
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: the same age as Aaron Rodgers. Rogers just turned forty.

119
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 2: Spent most of the season sitting at home waiting for

120
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: a team to call, before Cleveland got desperate after the injuries,

121
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 2: et cetera, etc. And they gave him a shot to

122
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 2: work on the promptice squad. Now, sub quarterbacks, I'm not

123
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 2: gonna mention their name, Bill Colin Kaepernick beneath them, but

124
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: not Joe Flacco, he says, I'll go. He accepted it

125
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: paid off. Now, Flacco hasn't been perfect. He has to

126
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 2: own eight picks. We got to be fair here. But

127
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 2: I really honestly think, and again, Cleveland's got an outstanding

128
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 2: the defense, but they've always had a good defense in

129
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 2: recent years, and they got an aggressive defensive coordinator in

130
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 2: Jim Schwartz. But I think Joe Flacco is the reason

131
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 2: the Brons are where they are. Proved me wrong. He's

132
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 2: averaging three hundred and twenty five passing yards per game.

133
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 2: He surpassed the three hundred yard mark and four straight games.

134
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 2: The only player in Brown's history to do so, and

135
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 2: the Browns have had some good quarterbacks going back about

136
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: sixty years now. They needed Flacco to step up. Why

137
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: because the running game has been struggling. They're only averaging

138
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 2: two and a half yards per attempt in those last

139
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: four games, and the defense had been carrying the team. Now, ironically,

140
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 2: here we talk about the Jets not being interested. The

141
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 2: reason I say it's ironic is because Flacco is what

142
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 2: the Browns needed and the Jets or what they'd hoped

143
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 2: to get out of Aaron Rodgers, and the Browns are

144
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: what the Jets had hoped to be this season if

145
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 2: you followed all that, they have a tremendous defense that

146
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: had to make up for serious offensive deficiencies. However, the Jets,

147
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 2: they haven't had any kind of comparable success in quarterback

148
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 2: that the Browns have had. As a matter of fact,

149
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 2: the Jets they haven't had a three hundred yard net

150
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 2: passing game the entire season. So it would be crazy

151
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 2: to suggest that the Jets, who actually employed Joe Flacco

152
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 2: the last three years and could have brought him back

153
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 2: at any time this season, would be playoff bound if

154
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 2: instead of Zach Wilson and Trevor Simeon had been handed

155
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 2: the keys to the car. But I digress. I get it.

156
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 2: The Browns have better receivers. But still, Jets fans have

157
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 2: to be wondering might they have salvaged some similance the

158
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 2: season had they give given Joe Flacco a shot. So

159
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 2: the question is, and by the way, listen, you have

160
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 2: to believe this. Flacco's run with the Cleveland Browns this

161
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 2: season is one of the best stories in the NFL.

162
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 2: He waited all year again, again again. You get the story.

163
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 2: The Brown's history, it's been marked by complete instability at quarterback.

164
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: Watson's injury could have sunk the season the same way

165
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 2: that Rogers did for the Jets, but it didn't. So

166
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 2: regardless of how it ends a very memorable season in Cleveland.

167
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 2: Are they gonna win the Super Bowl? I don't know,

168
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: But if I wake up on February twelfth, anything, I'll

169
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 2: believe anything. At this point, right, does Flacco have a

170
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: chance to win a Super Bowl? Well, he won one already,

171
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 2: so he has a chance. It doesn't feel real. Later on,

172
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 2: we're gonna get into the playoff scenarios and the playoff

173
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 2: bracking and such. But if the season were to end today,

174
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 2: Cleveland would visit at Jacksonville. And you know who I

175
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 2: would like in that game? So you know, give me

176
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,599
Speaker 2: a you know what, give me a Cleveland Baltimore or

177
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 2: a Cleveland Miami AFC championship game, or even a Cleveland,

178
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 2: Kansas City and I'm all over at like a hobo

Speaker 2: to Bill Krackerberger crack Man always a pleasure, Hey, Fernie,

222
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 2: thanks for having me on. Buddy Always. I want to

223
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 2: dive into this slate. I think there's a theme this

224
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 2: weekend that I'm looking forward to getting your thoughts. One

225
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 2: of those interesting weekends where there are teams that are

226
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 2: going nowhere, but they have a chance to pee on

227
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 2: someone else's parade. Trust me, I covered a lot of

228
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 2: bad Lions teams who took great pleasure and beaten teams

229
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 2: in December they weren't supposed to beat. But first, I

230
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 2: want to start in Dallas. You got a home team here.

231
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 2: It was one fifteen in a row. Their road home

232
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 2: splits are amazing. Dallas is ten and one as a

233
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 2: favorite home favorite coming home when they're coming off a

234
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 2: road loss, and yet the money is coming in on

235
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 2: the Lions. That moves. I believe it's moved from six

236
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 2: to four and a half. What are your thoughts in

237
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 2: this game, Crack.

238
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 4: This game opened up six and it's down to about five.

239
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 4: You're right, some Detroit money coming in. However, it's not

240
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 4: any sharp money because I get usually the top play

241
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 4: from some of the syndicate guys. Sports pinning sindicate guys,

242
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 4: hasn't really been that much movement from anyone on that level.

243
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: I know.

244
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 4: It's funny. When this line came out a couple of

245
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 4: weeks ago, I actually took a little bit of a

246
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 4: lean to the over fifty one, and then it was

247
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 4: went up to like fifty four. When it came out

248
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 4: this week, I actually caught it under fifty three and

249
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 4: a half. So I didn't want to middle it. I

250
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 4: just thought that that was just too high of the

251
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 4: number at the time too. It's not something I normally

252
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 4: do as middle games, but so I noticed this total

253
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 4: is creeping down every day. Was that like fifty three

254
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 4: went to like fifty four. Now it's come down to

255
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 4: fifty train ansifty three, fifty two. It's down to fifty two,

256
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,199
Speaker 4: and I expect to maybe to even go a hair

257
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 4: lower tomorrow as this is one of the highest totals

258
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 4: of the year. But again, this is a game where

259
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 4: these two teams. Boy, I tell you burn, I don't

260
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 4: have a side on either one of these the Lions,

261
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 4: which you know of that team very well. The Lions

262
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 4: have at one time this season they have been in

263
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 4: my top five as a strength power team for the

264
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 4: year and they have fallen out. And Dallas never really

265
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 4: reached five, but they were on the cusps like six

266
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 4: seven and they have fallen down also. So I don't

267
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 4: think either one of these teams are going anywhere. I

268
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 4: do have a future at Dallas to win the NFC,

269
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 4: but I'm not going to be able.

270
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 5: To catch that.

271
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 4: I don't think again, either one of these teams, which

272
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 4: everyone's to go to the furthest good to them, but

273
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 4: I don't think they're going to the Super Bowl.

274
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 2: Fair. I'm not involved in this game, but it is

275
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 2: a national TV game Saturday, another Marquee game, Baltimore hosting Miami.

276
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 2: Baltimore off that big win. I'm seeing three and a

277
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 2: half's out there. Now do you favorite side here?

278
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, Baltimore opened up at three, went up to three

279
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 4: and a half off there. I'll call it their super

280
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 4: Bowl game they played last week versus forty nine ers.

281
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 4: Now you'll see some back and forth a little bit

282
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 4: still around three minus twenty three.

283
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: And a half.

284
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 4: Like you said, there's some three and a half here

285
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 4: in Vegas, there's also some threes with some juice. So

286
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 4: I'll just tell you I can't back a team that

287
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 4: just played a game like Baltimore did. They look fantastic,

288
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 4: they look great. I can't put my money on a

289
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 4: team back to back because just think about this. When

290
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 4: that I think by the time this game kicks off,

291
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 4: the bookmakers are going to be rooting for Miami. So

292
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 4: it's gonna be Baltimore money, by the by the squares,

293
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 4: by the the you know, the regular Joe crowd, and

294
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 4: if anything, I leaned to Miami plus the three and

295
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 4: a half.

296
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 2: In this game. Game it's it's an interesting number to

297
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 2: me because Lamar Jackson at home in his career, he's

298
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 2: twenty seven and ten straight up, but only fourteen and

299
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: twenty three against the number as a home favorite. Again,

300
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 2: not a game I want to be involved in. I

301
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 2: want to talk about the Raiders Indianapolis. This feels like

302
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 2: a tricky game to me.

303
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 4: Your thoughts, boy, some big money came in this afternoon

304
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 4: in Indianapolis. On Indianapolis, this game, you know, just forty

305
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 4: eight hours ago was three. Now it's up to four

306
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 4: to to be one thing of all choked up over

307
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 4: the sub that's four.

308
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 2: Good, my friend, it's going around. I didn't think.

309
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 4: I didn't see this four until about an hour ago. Indianapolis. Listen,

310
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 4: they need the game more than the Raiders. I understand

311
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 4: the Raiders have an outside chance to get in the

312
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 4: playoffs and burn Am I right by saying this? The

313
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 4: Kansas City has to lose in order for them to

314
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 4: even have a chance right to get in the playoffs?

315
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm want to go over that later in the show.

316
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 2: But for the Raiders to get in, I mean you

317
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 2: basically have to have peace in the Middle East breakout

318
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 2: before they get in. They have to they have to

319
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 2: win and have to have a bunch of things happen.

320
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 2: And we going down that road. But still from a

321
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 2: from a batting standpoint, this game is drawing a lot

322
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 2: of interest.

323
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is, and it is on the favorite Indianapolis.

324
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 4: Now the four, like I said in one of the

325
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 4: major sportsbooks in town here that control the market for

326
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 4: and a half, the really number that's everywhere after Vegas

327
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 4: is unbelievable. Defensive the job they did a great defensive job.

328
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 4: They diverse the Kansas City Chiefs. I think it's hard

329
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 4: to maintain that level. You know, they were in the

330
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 4: locker room cause being some smoke a ciguars partying it up.

331
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 4: I don't know, man, I have to stay away from

332
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 4: the side in this game, and I just have to,

333
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 4: you know, watch the game from a fan perspective. But

334
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 4: you know that's four points awful. It looks awful, awful

335
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 4: good after the Raiders had that nice performance last week

336
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 4: and Indianapolis, I just don't know with them. I thought

337
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 4: they were going to be you know, you know, luck

338
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 4: of a playoff position here when they really they're struggling

339
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 4: here in jockey in.

340
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 2: For one very true. Another game, I think that's tricky.

341
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 2: The Rams open up. I believe minus six at the

342
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: New York Giants. I see the latest number at five

343
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 2: and a half. You can correct me if that's accurate.

344
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: Reason I feel this game is tricky. I think you're

345
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 2: paying a little bit of a RAMS tax here. People

346
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 2: are google about how well they have done. But if

347
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 2: you go back twelve years NFL Home Dogs in December,

348
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 2: they're a tidy eighty three and fifty. The only set

349
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 2: I could look to here would be the Giants plus

350
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 2: the six Your thoughts.

351
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you're you're spot on the Giants Rams or

352
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 4: six and a half. That opened up that a five

353
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 4: and a half. Though some of the public like in

354
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 4: the Giants, and I'll tell you, I just can't bet

355
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 4: this is another game. I can't bet the Rams on

356
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 4: the road in this spot. The Giants have looked pretty

357
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 4: good in some recent spots. Again, you have to excuse me.

358
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 4: I just can't over.

359
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 2: As all good, bud, especially especially with Tarron Taylor. They

360
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 2: seem to be playing free and easy. There's no pressure.

361
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 2: His mobility has opened things up, kept plays a live readers,

362
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 2: receivers sided just the rouse. So you're paying RAMS tax here.

363
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 2: Wouldn't be surprised me if they went in there won

364
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 2: by a field goal.

365
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 4: But your thoughts, yeah, you know, that's that's the spot

366
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 4: on prediction there. You know Taylor is and of course

367
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 4: all the hype around the pork cutlets there, whatever his

368
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 4: name is.

369
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 2: He's on the bench now.

370
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 4: He's on the bench.

371
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 5: Now.

372
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 4: I was rooting for the kid family taking some food

373
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 4: out in the parking lot and with the fun thing

374
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 4: North Jersey guy.

375
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 2: Right, that's right.

376
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 4: But this particular game though here, and I want to

377
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:12,959
Speaker 4: keep this alive for anyone about many different spots. Listen, guys,

378
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 4: be careful with like must win teams that have to

379
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 4: win to get because these other teams they love to

380
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 4: play spoiler and that spoiler role. And I'll just tell

381
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 4: you this. If you're gonna bet one of those must

382
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 4: win teams, and I'm not just looking at this game,

383
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 4: I'm looking at even Week eighteen being the more important

384
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 4: week must win games. If you're gonna bet on that team,

385
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 4: you better bet on it early in the week because

386
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 4: I'll tell you one thing, the line's gonna move up

387
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 4: and you're gonna pay attack closer to game time when

388
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,239
Speaker 4: everyone makes their decisions on the games, who are they

389
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 4: going to play? They're gonna play the ugly teams or

390
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 4: the must win teams. You can guarantee they're playing the

391
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 4: must win teams. That's just the public. They're fickle. They

392
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 4: want to bet last second. So that's when the lines

393
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 4: or that's when the sportsbooks are four to move the line.

394
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 4: Be real careful. I must win teams.

395
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 2: I've had a saying for thirty years. Thirty one of

396
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 2: the thirty two NFL teams will lose the game they

397
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 2: must win. So never bet a must win team, making

398
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 2: that your key focal point. Crack last one for me.

399
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 2: We have a defactive playoff game in Seattle. Pittsburgh heads

400
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 2: into town. If Pittsburgh loses, they're eliminated from the playoffs

401
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 2: for sure. Meanwhile, the Seahawks give it up to Pete

402
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 2: Carroll ten or twelve years he's gotten him into the playoffs.

403
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 2: Here's the deal. The Seahawks are battling and fighting for

404
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 2: playoff position as well. Do you believe Seattle covers that

405
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 2: number or can Pittsburgh hang that number or perhaps upset

406
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 2: the Seahawks out right? Three and a half while you

407
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 2: pick is what I'm seeing you hit on a game

408
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 2: I like.

409
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 4: I actually do lean Seattle here, but I can't lay

410
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 4: the three and a half now that there was freeze

411
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 4: out there everywhere, which is the keyst number in the NFL.

412
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 4: Of course, I'd have to look more at a money

413
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 4: line on the game. Now, if you're going to pick

414
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 4: Seattle and listen, I think Seattle is a is a

415
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 4: better team than Pittsburgh. I understand. Pittsburgh's also won the

416
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 4: hunt here. Pittsburgh got really lucky throughout the year and

417
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 4: won a lot of games they probably shouldn't have won.

418
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 4: They were out yardage, outplayed, just got a little bit lucky.

419
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 4: And they also have a great coach, I understand. I mean,

420
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 4: of course, I think Carol's also the great coach. But

421
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 4: the Pittsburgh coach has been around for a long time.

422
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 4: He knows how to keep closing games and then he

423
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 4: knows how to get to the playoffs. But you know,

424
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 4: he doesn't have that same quarterback he had for a

425
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 4: decade and a half under the under under the center there.

426
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 4: So I like Seattle on this spot. I think they're

427
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 4: the home team, they're the better team, and I think

428
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 4: they'll get the money.

429
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 2: Crack to cure yourself. Happy holidays, talk student pal, Thanks

430

00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 2: Back to you, Bernie, Thanks, Kevin Right. Phone lines are jammed. Uh,

490
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 2: Steve Poppy, Jordan, Nathan Hank Tight, we're gonna get to

491
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 2: just a second. Let's set this up. As you know,

492
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 2: the Broncos they have turned into a hedge play firm,

493
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 2: and uh, there's no reason, there's no doubt in my

494
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 2: mind they got rid of Russell Wilson for money reasons. Okay,

495
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 2: when the record books are written here he will have

496
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 2: shown to have had an eleven and nineteen record. And

497
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 2: remember the Broncos gave up five draft picks and three

498
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 2: players Drew Locke, Noah Fense, Shelby Harris, two first round picks.

499
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 2: And we'll get into the mechanics of this a little

500
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:52,360
Speaker 2: bit later as well, in terms of the the comments

501
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 2: coming out of Denver and the thoughts being made. But

502
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 2: let's let's get to the phones, because people want to

503
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 2: weigh in. Steve from Kansas start us off tonight. What

504
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 2: are your thoughts on the Russell Wilson situation in Denver?

505
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 7: Hey, Bernie, great, great, great program tonight. I'm just kind

506
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 7: of mystified when I watch these guys like Ryan Clark

507
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 7: go on talk shows and start trashing the coach of

508
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 7: the Denver Broncos. Let me give you overall opinion of

509
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 7: Russell Wilson. He's he rode that defense to a super Bowl.

510
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 7: He's kind of a borderline hall of famer. You know,

511
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 7: he doesn't deserve an office within the Denver the Denver leadership.

512
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 7: The guy is is a cancer in the clubhouse and

513
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 7: there the Walton family is justified to cut him. He'll

514
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 7: make he said for life, He'll make twenty million some

515
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 7: somewhere else. I don't understand why we're whining. We're whining

516
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 7: for this guy. He's he's annoying, he's annoying, is all down.

517
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 7: Most people don't like him. I mean, let's just let's

518
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 7: just be honest here. Enough, how can they justify this

519
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 7: kind of money for a loser like this guy?

520
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 2: Fair enough, Steve, let's just unpack just a little bit

521
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 2: of that, and I graciually I appreciate your candor. Players

522
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 2: are always going to stick off for players. He sees

523
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 2: that Wilson threw for twenty six touchdown passes and eight interceptions.

524
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 2: I see that Sean Payton never liked him. This was

525
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 2: never gonna work. You could tell by the body language

526
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 2: and the demeanor between the two. And he could move

527
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 2: the team thirty yards to kick a field goal to

528
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 2: beat New England the other night. I think that was

529
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 2: the icing on the cake. So your points are well taken.

530
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 2: Let's go to Poppy in San Diego. Poppy, your thoughts,

531
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson, who sighed you on?

532
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 8: Hey, yeah, well you know Russell Wilson. It seems like

533
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 8: a same story, same day, like a Seattle You had

534
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 8: issues towards like the end of the years, and I'm

535
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 8: here with the Broncos with Sean Payton. He gave them

536
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 8: a shot. My conspiracy theory is there, Sean Payton gave

537
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 8: them a try. You never wanted to know the Broncos.

538
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 8: Froncos are going to be playing this week in horrible game.

539
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 8: The I'll just say, stinky Chargers against Broncos. And then

540
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:08,719
Speaker 8: on that game, I'm giving you a prediction.

541
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 4: I'm gonna hang on.

542
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 2: Poppy, Poppy, Poppy. I don't want any predictions tonight. I

543
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 2: got to get to a lot of callers. I wanted

544
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 2: to get all right.

545
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 8: Well, yeah, I was just gonna tell you in the

546
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 8: conspiracy theory, Well, the conspiracy theory is a Sean Payton

547
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 8: in the back comb of because why he wants me?

548
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 2: Poppy, Poppy, Poppy? Are you on Wilson's side or Denver side?

549
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 2: Pick one?

550
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 9: How much?

551
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 10: How much?

552
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 8: Pad inside?

553
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 2: Okay?

554
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 8: Rat and I feel that the that's the right move

555
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 8: with Sean Payden, because he never wanted Russell Wilson. So yeah,

556
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 8: I'm on uh Sean Paydons.

557
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 2: Thanks Poppy, appreciate as always, And I think I agree

558
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 2: with Poppy. I don't think he ever wanted to be inherited.

559
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 2: He accepted him. I said, I'll give it a try.

560
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 2: The way they're doing this, they don't want him to

561
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 2: get hurt because if he gets hurt, they're gonna owen

562
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 2: an extra thirty nine million dollars. He's got an injury clause.

563
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 2: He wouldn't wave if he If Russell Wilson is on

564
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 2: the roster five days into the twenty twenty four season,

565
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 2: he's doing another thirty nine million. He's already going to

566
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:08,959
Speaker 2: get to thirty seven million, whether he placed next year

567
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 2: or not. Deverst taking an eighty five million dollar cap hit.

568
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 2: So pick aside here. I would really like to hear

569
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 2: what your thoughts are. This became a highly charged story

570
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 2: because Sean Payton was clear this wasn't gonna work. Then

571
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 2: people were defending Russell Wilson with his numbers. They weren't

572
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 2: that bad. And now Russell Wilson says he wants to

573
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 2: come back. Let's go to Jordan from Seattle. What are

574
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 2: your thoughts on Russell Wilson. Whose side are you on? Buddy?

575
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, I guess some kid in the middle.

576
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 4: I appreciate you taking my call.

577
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 9: It's just bizarre to me.

578
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 4: I agree. It seems like Stayton's never really liked.

579
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 11: Rush, but then there was always not always the last

580
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 11: few years of his tenures in Seattle report him trying

581
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 11: to kind of push.

582
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 12: Out Pete and get Payton into into the Seahawks or

583
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 12: team up with Peyton in some capacity, So it seems

584
00:30:58,440 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 12: like they are.

585
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 11: Somewhat of a relationship there. But then the second that

586
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 11: Peyton walked into the building, it almost seemed like he

587
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 11: was anti russ And and didn't like the guy and

588
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 11: didn't really.

589
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 2: Want to work with the guy.

590
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 9: I just don't It's a little bizarre.

591
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 2: To me, and I don't quite understand where that relationship lived.

592
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 2: All Right, I appreciate it, Jordan. Again, we have a

593
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 2: situation here. Peyton did not bring in Russell Wilson. That

594
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 2: was the prior regime that guaranteed him two hundred and

595
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 2: forty two million dollars. He was eleven or nineteen on

596
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 2: the field. His numbers weren't horrible. But Peyton knows what

597
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 2: it looks like to get to a Super Bowl, and

598
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 2: he said, it ain't happening with this guy, Nathan from

599
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 2: the Bay Area. You're up next? Who sat? Are you

600
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 2: on Russell's or the Broncos. Well.

601
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 11: I feel a little bad for Russell over the past

602
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 11: couple of days, with that little press conference interview that

603
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 11: we saw in the locker room. I kind of fell from.

604
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 4: Him in that moment.

605
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 11: But at the end of the day, I kind of

606
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 11: knew that when Sean Payton came in. I know a

607
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 11: lot of callers said this, but you know he was

608
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 11: in the deep end without a floaty, you know, sure

609
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 11: ever heard I'm Peyton k Man and I'm a Broncos

610
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 11: fan and I unfortunately have a Russell Wilson jersey for

611
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 11: the Broncos, So I mean that's tough on my part,

612
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,479
Speaker 11: but I mean, beside all that, you know, I definitely

613
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 11: would decide, you know, the jersey thing. I would still

614
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 11: like to see him with the team because what we've

615
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 11: seen from him over the past, you know, a few weeks,

616
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 11: you know, he's been able to dial it in. I

617
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 11: know that Patriots game was rough, but I mean we've

618
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 11: seen him connect like never before with these deep passes

619
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 11: that honestly, up until this season I haven't really.

620
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: Seen from him.

621
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 11: So I think, you know, despite Sean Payton maybe not

622
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 11: liking him bad luft being there, I still think that

623
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 11: he has a chance. There's still some gold left in

624
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 11: the pot there, all right.

625
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 2: Fair enough, and you're not wrong. All the callers have

626
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 2: been excellent. You're not wrong, Nathan, in the sense that

627
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 2: there were times when Russell Wilson, when he got off

628
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 2: schedule move that offense, he seemed to be slightly stifled

629
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 2: by Sean Payton's scheme. We had Benjamin Albright on Wednesday

630
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 2: night from Denver and he confirmed that That's just what

631
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 2: my eyes told me. Now I think they're going to

632
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 2: win a super Bowl with a combination of Peyton and Wilson. No,

633
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 2: so he cut baiton, they're cutting their losses and it's

634
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 2: costing him a fortune. And squeeze one more in here,

635
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 2: Arthur from Philadelphia, what are your thoughts? You are you

636
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 2: picking a side Russell or the Broncos.

637
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 9: Well, let me say this.

638
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 7: Correctly. One more.

639
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 13: According to his contract, if he sells a physical he

640
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 13: has did get thirty seven million or something like that.

641
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 2: That's correct, that's correct.

642
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 7: Well, I mean no, just respect to the guy.

643
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 14: I mean, you know he's a true winner, and you

644
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 14: put that aside.

645
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 7: I mean, no, disrespect them.

646
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 13: He can't expect the organ Wilson give me money.

647
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 14: For the sake that you didn't hurt.

648
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 9: Don't get me wrong.

649
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 13: I'm not a showing Peyton guy because I just heed overrating.

650
00:33:58,680 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 4: He's won one super Bowl.

651
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 9: One thing after Super Bowl they considered him.

652
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 7: A great coach.

653
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 2: All right, I appreciate you checking in, Arthur. Let's let's

654
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,959
Speaker 2: piggyback on something you said there in terms of would

655
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 2: they owe Russell Wilson money if he didn't pass it

656
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 2: physical yes, here's the situation. He has an injury clause

657
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,800
Speaker 2: if you were to get hurt in his final two games.

658
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 2: This is a replay of what happened to Derek Carr

659
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 2: last year with the Raiders. And coincidentally, Jared Stidham is

660
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 2: right behind the back seat ready to jump in. If

661
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 2: you're telling me Sean Payton really believes that Jared Stidham

662
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 2: gives him a better chance of winning the final two

663
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 2: games than Russell Wilson. Sure, sure, I'm gonna have you

664
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 2: drug tested. But we all know this is a big

665
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 2: fugazy Sean Payton wanted to get rid of him. This

666
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 2: is the price they're gonna have to pay. Just so

667
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 2: everybody understands, if Russell Wilson would have been on the

668
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 2: roster five days into the twenty twenty four season, he's

669
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 2: owed thirty nine million dollars in addition to the thirty

670
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 2: seven lane he's already going to be getting for the

671
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four season. Whether he plays or not, the passing,

672
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 2: the physical part is directly related to getting hurt or

673
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 2: not getting hurt. That's why they're not going to play him.

674
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 2: They're hedging their bets. Denver, this is going to be

675
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 2: a costly deal. Eighty five million dollar cap hit again.

676
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,399
Speaker 2: They paid a fortune to get Russell Wilson two years ago.

677
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 2: Five draft picks, two first rounders included additional three draft picks,

678
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 2: three players, Drew Locke, no offense, Shelby Harris. You basically

679
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 2: give up eight players for Russell Wilson to go eleven

680
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 2: or nineteen. He had his moments, and he is polarizing,

681
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,240
Speaker 2: and somebody just tweet at me. Russell Wilson is a cornball,

682
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 2: fair enough. Some people like him, some people don't. This

683
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 2: story got weird because a lot of people started to

684
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 2: defend him and pick on the Broncos. It's their business.

685
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 2: They can do what they want. And oh, by the way,

686
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,439
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson wants to stay. That's where this story really

687
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 2: gets weird to me. We're gonna be able to squeeze

688
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 2: in a couple more calls eight seven, seven, nine to

699
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 2: South Dakota, You're up next. What are your thoughts on

700
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 2: the Russell Wilson situation.

701
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:35,800
Speaker 12: Well, I think Sean Payton's doing the right thing. Russell

702
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,720
Speaker 12: Wilson is nothing but an overrated game manager.

703
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 4: You know when he was before.

704
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 12: They let Russ Cook in Seattle, he led the team

705
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 12: and they were winning, but he wasn't completing more than

706
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 12: two hundred yards a game. He was just handing the

707
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,720
Speaker 12: ball off to Lynch and they had a great defense.

708
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 12: I will say that I want to give credit to

709
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 12: Tyler Columbus. He's an ex aligneman for the Broncos. He

710
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 12: tweeted out the greatest thing I've seen about this situation.

711
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 12: He said, this situation is Tebow two point zero. He said,

712
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 12: the fan base is split down the middle on whether

713
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 12: to keep him or to play or bench or to

714
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 12: play him, and ninety five percent of the GMS and

715
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 12: coaches would not want him on the team.

716
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 2: Fair enough, Hey, strong call Jason, don't be a stranger

717
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 2: the midnight hour every Friday night on the Bernie Frattle

718
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 2: Show at midnight start next week. We're gonna she had

719
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 2: a great idea. We're gonna ride this Omar from Seattle

720
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 2: to belly of the Beast. Russell Wilson thumbs up.

721
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 15: Thumbs down, basically thumbs down. But I don't like Russell's antics.

722
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 15: I know he's not never been a great quarterback. He

723
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 15: was probably top seven in his next year's in Seattle,

724
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 15: but honestly, Seattle rode him for good. There's so many

725
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 15: seasons and so many games. I watched him win the

726
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 15: game for Seattle at the fourth quarter with great you

727
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 15: know games I mean, but I blame.

728
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 11: Sean Bayton here.

729
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 4: Like he knew that the Broncos got sleezed. They don't

730
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 4: have draft capital.

731
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 14: Still, the Broncos had to trade for him.

732
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 4: He knew the dead money situation.

733
00:37:58,080 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 5: Look, what are you doing?

734
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 14: You think you're gonna to do with turn around and

735
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 14: rebuild your team in two years?

736
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 4: I mean, you're stuck with Russ, whether you like it

737
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 4: or not. Because eighty five million and did much have.

738
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,800
Speaker 14: Money and you know the only thing that kid Carroll

739
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 14: did over the last ten years is he fleeced you know,

740
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:17,240
Speaker 14: the Broncos for Russell Wilson. But the couple of years

741
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 14: that rustled between twenty fifteen and twenty nineteen.

742
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 4: He was top fight, top seven quarterback.

743
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 14: I would argue just Seattle did not put good teams

744
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 14: around him.

745
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:27,839
Speaker 10: You know, did he get sacked a lot?

746
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 3: Yes?

747
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 4: Does he holds onto the ball a lot?

748
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 2: Yet?

749
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 14: But he won so many games for Seattle with the

750
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 14: worst offensive line in all of football.

751
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 2: So all right, our on, our excellent call covered a

752
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 2: lot of ground. There we get to squeeze one morning. Here,

753
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 2: Anthony from Hayward, your thoughts, we can see which direction

754
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 2: this has been going. What are your thoughts? I'm on

755
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson's side.

756
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 7: You know what.

757
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 10: Okay, let's say some the Broncos are classless. Okay, I

758
00:38:56,360 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 10: don't care. This man came and played. The bottom is

759
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 10: you don't ask the man to cut to change the

760
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 10: contract that you he signed up now because he don't

761
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 10: want to change it.

762
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 13: You want to fit him down.

763
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was your class I agree.

764
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 10: Problem that I had with Sean Paton is okay, if

765
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 10: you don't like him. Be a man, to stop being

766
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 10: a cow Okay, that's the problem that I have.

767
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, how was he a coward? He cut him? How

768
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 2: was he a coward? I don't get it.

769
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 10: Because he said that, he's said that.

770
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 4: The only reason that he's doing it.

771
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 2: Is Oh, yeah, that was weak.

772
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 5: That was weak.

773
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 2: That's a lie. Anthony Russell's side, Anthony, I gotta I

774
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 2: gotta move along. I love this call strong strong, strong.

775
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 2: Appreciate you listen. I love how we have varied opinions,

776
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 2: and everybody who got on the airwaves tonight gave their

777
00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 2: opinion and justified it with their own relevant specifics. I'm

778
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 2: very impressed. Every Friday night at midnight Pacific on the

779

Speaker 2: Bernie Fraddle Show, we're going to have a midnight hour

780
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 2: topic like this. This one turned out to be polarizing.

781
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 2: I agree with Anthony Sean Payton. Don't get up there

782
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 2: and you know, piss on everybody's shoes and tell us

783
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 2: it's rain. And that was weak as hell. You may

784
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 2: not like Russell Wilson, just say it, move on. You

785
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 2: could already tell on the sideline he did. And hey, listen,

786
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson's legacy secure. He won a Super Bowl and

787
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 2: got to another one. You could argue he should have

788
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 2: two Super Bowls somewhere along the line. He's polarizing. His

789
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 2: story continues coming up, Mark Medina, Medina Magic, we dive

802
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 2: You love and can't ley without them, our NBA guru.

803
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 2: It's that time, Mark Medena with a little Medina Magic,

804
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 2: NBA Magic and Mark. I don't know where else to

805
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 2: start other than the fact that the Pistons are going

806
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 2: for twenty nine and Saturday night and their home underdogs

807
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 2: against the Toronto Raptors.

808
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 5: Give us your thoughts, well, I guess they have a

809
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 5: shot because the Toronto Raptors aren't a good team either.

810
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 5: They're twelve and nineteen thirteen games back against their conference,

811
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 5: So I guess relatively speaking, the Pistons have much better

812
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 5: outs than any of the streaks yet to them than

813
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,760
Speaker 5: they did earlier in the week against the Boston Celtics.

814
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's true, and I want to get your

815
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,760
Speaker 2: thoughts on this. I'm going to say this in air quotes,

816
00:41:55,160 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 2: load management on Victor wimbin Yama. What kind of bring

817
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 2: us up to snuff? What the game plan is there?

818
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 2: Because I expected more. I'm you know, I've been a

819
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 2: little bit of a skep, not a skeptic, but I

820
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 2: didn't want to, you know, you know, rush him into

821
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame like everybody else.

822
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 5: Did your thoughts well the Spurs Well, Spurs coach Gregg

823
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 5: Popovich said that Wemby is going to be seen out

824
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 5: for back to backs for a couple of weeks and

825
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:25,240
Speaker 5: then also remain on a minute restriction until further notice

826
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 5: because he's been dealing with an ankle injury, so they

827
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 5: weren't cautious. So he landed on the foot of a

828
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 5: Mavericks ball boy during pregame warmups on December twenty third,

829
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 5: and since then he's been out with right ankle soreness.

830
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 5: So it's kind of an unprecedented in history. Usually it

831
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 5: happens when the game starts, not in pregame war ups

832
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 5: with a ball boy. But it isn't surprising there doing

833
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 5: the load management thing, because one, the Spurs are kind

834
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 5: of the pioneers of this, but two, you know, it

835
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,919
Speaker 5: was expected from people around the league that they would

836
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 5: handle him with care, not just because he's a star

837
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 5: and that's the air that they're in, but he's a rookie,

838
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 5: he's a tall guy, and they want to just make

839
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:12,280
Speaker 5: sure that he can handle the riggers of the NBA season.

840
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 5: So frankly, I'm surprised that didn't happen even earlier, and

841
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 5: now we are talking still core of the season. But

842
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 5: I thought maybe they would have done it right off

843
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:22,399
Speaker 5: the bat.

844
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 2: Did they might any chance to sign the ball boys?

845
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 2: Sounds like you might be a physical.

846
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 5: Un well, he was on an opposing teams ball boys.

847
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 5: I don't think is that right? They don't have any

848
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 5: influence because Dallas Mavericks. Maybe because of that, he can't

849
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:38,919
Speaker 5: a raise.

850
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:43,439
Speaker 2: There you go. Speaking with Mark Medina Medina Magic. Usually

851
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 2: hear him on Saturday nights. We got a Friday night version.

852
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 2: I want to talk quickly about the Phoenix Suns. They

853
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 2: finally had their trio, their Big Three play tonight and

854
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 2: they went by fourteen. Granted it was against the Hornets,

855
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 2: but they showed some flashes. Can the Suns possibly resurre

856
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 2: their season and become the type of team that people

857
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 2: have hoped they would be for the last four.

858
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 5: Years, Well, they certainly can. They have the talent and

859
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 5: personnel to do it. It's a huge qualifier. They've got

860
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 5: to stay healthy and so I think the good thing

861
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 5: for the Suns right now it's still early in the season.

862
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 5: You know, if the season ended today, they're only a

863
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 5: half game back of making the playing tournament. So they

864
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 5: are one of these teams that you're going to have

865
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 5: to dismiss them at your own peril because you know,

866
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 5: if Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant and Devin Booker are

867
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 5: still playing games, they can win any given game and

868
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 5: there's no personality or role conflicts iron out. They all

869
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 5: do distinguishably different things, but just the ultimate unknown that

870
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 5: we've seen a small sample sized court of the season

871
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 5: where Bradley Beal hasn't been able to stay consistently healthy,

872
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 5: and so I suspect that this is going to be

873
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 5: an on going challenge throughout the season. But you know,

874
00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 5: you can't count them out only because we're to enter

875
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 5: the new year as opposed to it being you know,

876
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 5: March and April. But I'm skeptical that they can sustain

877
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 5: this from a health standpoint, but X's and knows they

878
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 5: have what it takes.

879
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 2: So I'm coming to the conclusion that not only might

880
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 2: he be the best basketball player in the world, he

881
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 2: might be the most done to earth human being in

882
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:20,919
Speaker 2: the world. He's a celebrity, he's got all the money,

883
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 2: he's got championships, but he's said he doesn't like being

884
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 2: a celebrity. Your thoughts on Nikole joki He has been

885
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 2: very vocal ately.

886
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, this doesn't surprise him because Nikole Jokic always

887
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 5: shuns the spotlight. He's refused to do any sort of

888
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 5: interviews or campaigns for MVP. When he was in the

889
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 5: running for them. You know, when he won the championship,

890
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 5: he was immediately I lamintained that he kind of go

891
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 5: home to celebrate with his family in Survey, and he

892
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,919
Speaker 5: has a stick around for the parade. Now, I think

893
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 5: what's gotten lost into this is Nikole Jokicic loves the game.

894
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 5: He's not as ao as he kind of procrays himself

895
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 5: to be. And he's fine with the attention as far

896
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 5: as the right things, Like, he doesn't want to be

897
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 5: seen as someone who's a self promoter or wants to

898
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 5: have the limelight. He wants to make his teammates feeling powered.

899
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,959
Speaker 5: So I think he's like any person like the love,

900
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 5: the respect, but he's not one of these attention seeking

901
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 5: guys right, wants to be about the work and nothing else.

902
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 2: So he's kind of like Lebron, because Lebron's not a

903
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 2: self promoter at all. You're right, you're right here, You're

904
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 2: a good audience mark.

905
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 5: He doesn't tweet or post things on Instagram or no, no,

906
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 5: I would never ever occur around him at all.

907
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 2: Any of that stuff. It's not like he calls himself

908
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,240
Speaker 2: the greatest of all time, nothing like that. Very humble.

909
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 2: I want to talk about John Morant. I'm glad he's

910
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:47,320
Speaker 2: back in the league. He's exciting to watch. He's a

911
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 2: he's a force multiplier. But after winning four and it

912
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 2: really takes the night off in the Memphis Grizzlies, well

913
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 2: it it was a reminder of what they look like

914
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 2: without him. What was the situation and why after only

915
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:01,799
Speaker 2: four games John Moran took the night off.

916
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 5: Well, I believe it was just kind of handling his workload.

917
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 5: That was nothing else. And you know, when it comes

918
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 5: to just wanting to do that with any minor ailments,

919
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:14,800
Speaker 5: they're going to exercise on the side of cautum. I

920
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 5: don't think it was anything major, but I think that

921
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 5: the reality is it shows that without John Moran, there

922
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:21,280
Speaker 5: are a lot.

923
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 2: Of my well that is so he's had twenty arrest

924
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 2: I mean not listen, I don't want to be that guy.

925
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 2: But did he really need to take a night off

926
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 2: after four games?

927
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 5: Well, I don't think it was his call. I think

928
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 5: it's yeah, I.

929
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:40,800
Speaker 2: Hate Steph Curry talked about that.

930
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:43,360
Speaker 5: I mean, well, yeah, they say he has an illness,

931
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 5: but for whatever fair enough, Well, I.

932
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:47,240
Speaker 2: Don't question that. If there's if that's a the reporting,

933
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 2: you don't know what you don't know, and I'm not

934
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 2: privy to that situation. Another situation that's gone very much

935
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 2: radio silent is the Draymond Green situation. And I will

936
00:47:56,480 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 2: tell you I gave a pretty first statement about him

937
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 2: last night. I don't think he'll ever change because I

938
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 2: think everything he's done, he believes is justified. Is there

939
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 2: anything going on? What's the dialogue behind the scenes, Mark

940
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 2: in terms of are they going to define what indefinite

941
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 2: suspension means? What's the next step? Waiting for you to

942
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 2: shoot drop?

943
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, the dialogue is that it just sounds like crickets,

944
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:25,959
Speaker 5: and so I think what that means is that they're

945
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,320
Speaker 5: waiting and seeing and they're also talking with the league

946
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:35,439
Speaker 5: to make sure that they're feeling satisfied with what Draymond's doing.

947
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 5: Now once the announcement was made that was indefinite the

948
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 5: warriors behind the scenes we're talking about, you know, he's

949
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 5: going to take some counseling with anger management and also,

950
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 5: you know, make sure that they're not skipping steps so

951
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 5: that he doesn't do this again. And I'm with you

952
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 5: in the sense that I don't think Draymond is going

953
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:59,879
Speaker 5: to fundamentally change who he is. But I am opt

954
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,800
Speaker 5: mystic with you know, as someone who doesn't have a

955
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 5: skin in the game, but optimistic of the scenario that

956
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 5: I think that he can do enough to make sure

957
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 5: that he's still available on the court. And frankly, Bernie,

958
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 5: I don't think that's asking much like these incidents with

959
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 5: Nurkic and Gobert, they go beyond Raymond Green having an

960
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:22,879
Speaker 5: emotional outburst like they're just idiotic. So all I really

961
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:26,359
Speaker 5: think is going to be after him is don't punch

962
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:28,320
Speaker 5: a dude in the face and don't put someone in

963
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 5: a chokehold and case closed here. So you know that

964
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 5: part simple. But the other part that you mentioned about,

965
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 5: you know what's the next step. They've been intentionally quiet

966
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 5: about all this because one, they don't know this is

967
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 5: ultimately going to be what the league decides, even if

968
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 5: Draymond is his agent Rich Paul and the Warriors are

969
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:54,240
Speaker 5: talking with the league. But two, I think they also

970
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 5: just want to be sensitive the fact that for all

971
00:49:56,600 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 5: intensive purposes, this is like an HR thing where he's

972
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 5: doing different human resource things in terms of anger management,

973
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:06,879
Speaker 5: and with that they're not going to discuss too much

974
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:07,359
Speaker 5: in depth.

975
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:10,480
Speaker 2: Maybe he can vocation in Serbia and see how he

976
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 2: likes it there for a while. You're a good audience, Mark,

977
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 2: Mark great stuff is always obviously your fingers are on

978
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 2: the pulse. Really appreciate what you do. A Happy new Year.

979
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:22,359
Speaker 2: We'll be talking against sun Pale, all right.

980
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:24,440
Speaker 5: Happy hen That is Mark.

981
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 2: Medina Medina Magic. You hear him every Saturday night on

982
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 2: the Bernie Frattle Show at midnight. We switched up this week. Listen,

983
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 2: this happens down then in radio. I've been doing his

984
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:38,720
Speaker 2: twenty nine years where there's such a highly charged story

985
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 2: that's so polarizing. I can't I want to reiterate. I'm

986
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:43,800
Speaker 2: so impressed with the callers it took the time to

987
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 2: weigh in. I'm going to reopen the phone lines because

988
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:48,800
Speaker 2: we are still in the midnight hour and this is

989
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 2: a segment we're going to be establishing on a go

990
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:52,840
Speaker 2: forward basis in the Bernie Fraddle Show. So if you

991
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 2: didn't have a chance to get in and you want

992
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 2: to weigh in on the Russell Wilson situation, who sad

993
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 2: are you on? Denver is cutting with them in an

994
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 2: unceremonious fashion, and I appreciate what the one caller said,

995
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 2: I got to check his name here it was I

996
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 2: believe Anthony, He's right. I don't like the way Sean

997
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,359
Speaker 2: Payton got up there with a straight face and tried

998
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 2: to tell us, you know what he told us that

999
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 2: That bothered the hell out of me. So look, Russell

1000
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,840
Speaker 2: Wilson had good numbers. They didn't really win. He was

1001
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 2: eleven or nineteen. They paid a fortune to get him.

1002
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 2: This is a highly charged story. I don't really believe

1003
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 2: he was ever truly Sean Payton's guy. But believe it

1004
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 2: or not, I've done some research today and there are

1005
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 2: four teams that have had feelers on Russell Wilson already.

1006
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,319
Speaker 2: He should not come to Fruition next spring. We'll chot

1007
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 2: that up and I'm going to reopen full lines. I

1008
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 2: was very impressed by the passion, by the succinct nature

1009
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 2: with which people got their points across, no equivocating They

1010
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:46,960

1033
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 2: Sir Scratchaw.

1034
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 13: I want to say something. I'd been listening what you

1035
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:59,279
Speaker 13: read for Society late seventies and always said, if I

1036
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 13: ever got rid of rams he came into playing football,

1037
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 13: I would be a Russell Wilson's fan wherever he's at.

1038
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 9: And he went to Seahawk.

1039
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 13: I like your colors, but now I wouldn't pick him

1040
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 13: to mow my grass.

1041
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 2: And why is that?

1042
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 13: It's just it's just some of the stuff he does,

1043
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 13: So the stuff he comes off with, I'm just I'm

1044
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:20,960
Speaker 13: just one of them kind of people. I don't put

1045
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:23,480
Speaker 13: up with all the ex craps, you know. It's just

1046
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:25,759
Speaker 13: one of them. He's always thought he was all better,

1047
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 13: and he thought he was the best we've had that football.

1048
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 13: And now they're all sitting on a couch because nobody

1049
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 13: wants you again. And I can tell you the name

1050
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 13: of right now. And I'm glad he's out in football

1051
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 13: because he might.

1052
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:40,360
Speaker 2: All right, it's you're scratch off. All is a pleasure,

1053
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 2: my friend. Happy New Year. We'll catch you next time around.

1054
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 2: You're the best, your sir, Thank you, thank you. Maybe

1055
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 2: he can be my agent. Here's the situation, uh, Russell Wilson.

1056
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 2: One of the things we do in this country is

1057
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 2: we elevate people to their highest plateau. We do with celebrities, musicians, athletes, certainly, politicians,

1058
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 2: presidents only to tear them down. No one escapes it.

1059
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 2: Nobody escapes it Russell Wilson. To be fair, I'm a

1060
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:09,799
Speaker 2: journalist at heart, and I want to always maintain my objectivity,

1061
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 2: and they're our objective thru some in our personal feelings.

1062
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 2: Callers have been out standing tonight because they have an

1063
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:23,760
Speaker 2: invested emotion into this story. Russell Wilson for whatever reason,

1064
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 2: because I've never met him, and I've met a lot

1065
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 2: of people, and I've been around a long time and

1066
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 2: I've had access, and I name drop when it's convenient.

1067
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 2: No one likes the name dropper. But I've never met

1068
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson, so I don't know what the vibe is there.

1069
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 2: But you could tell the recurring theme in these calls

1070
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 2: was something about Russ bugs them bugs these people, and

1071
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 2: you've heard that in the NFL as well. But I

1072
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 2: don't really want to go down that road. I think

1073
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 2: what we have here is a situation that's multifaceted. We

1074
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:56,239
Speaker 2: have a coach who acted like he would give him

1075
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:58,760
Speaker 2: a shot, he did, then he didn't until he didn't.

1076
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:01,879
Speaker 2: But I also think that Sean Payton shorts aren't clean

1077
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 2: here either Russell Wilson had decent numbers, and I watched

1078
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 2: several Broncos games and I felt he might have been

1079
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 2: slightly stifled by Sean Payton's offense. That said, when he

1080
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 2: couldn't go thirty yards and get them into position to

1081
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 2: have a field goal Christmas Eve, when I was on

1082
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 2: the air, you felt like they had enough. I don't

1083
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:22,160
Speaker 2: think they would have done this had Russell Wilson beaten

1084
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:25,080
Speaker 2: the New England Patriots. But be that as a man,

1085
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 2: it's water under the bridge. They did this for financial reasons.

1086
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:32,240
Speaker 2: Sean Payton can say whatever he wants with all due respect,

1087
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 2: I just don't have to believe it, and I'm not

1088
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 2: gonna repeat it. The bottom line is they're gonna save

1089
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:39,280
Speaker 2: thirty nine million dollars by doing it this way. Otherwise

1090
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 2: they play him in week seventeen to eighteen. You cannot tell.

1091
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:43,840
Speaker 2: You're not gonna convince me Jared Stadum gives him a

1092
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:47,239
Speaker 2: better chance to win. Sorry, I'm not buying that. You know,

1093
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:52,799
Speaker 2: and look, no one whether regardless of if you turn

1094
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 2: back the clock and you realize that Broncos, hey, we

1095
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 2: got a guy here, right, he's he's gonna get Hall

1096
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 2: of Fame votes. He's been to two Sooner Bowls one

1097
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 2: to one. He presided over a successful franchise, although some

1098
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 2: of the callers felt that maybe it was the defense,

1099
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 2: it was Legia Boom was the running game, whatever. But

1100
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:10,759
Speaker 2: irrespective of Broncos put their money where their mouth was.

1101
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 2: At one point two and forty two million guaranteed they

1102
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 2: traded five draft picks and three players. But that's that's

1103
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:20,279
Speaker 2: what happens in life. You think Fred Flintstone would have

1104
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:22,319
Speaker 2: ordered that rack of ribs if he knew was gonna

1105
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:25,680
Speaker 2: tip his car over. No, that's the way it works

1106
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 2: in life. But I do think Russell Wilson will have

1107
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 2: a market next year. Matter of fact, there are four

1108
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:35,319
Speaker 2: teams emerging with whispers it's not overreapped. One of them

1109
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 2: is the Raiders. Would he be a fit? Well, first

1110
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 2: of all, Russell Wilson's got to be released, which I

1111
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:43,440
Speaker 2: believe will happen. They'll take the eighty five million dollars

1112
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:45,719
Speaker 2: cap hit, spread it out over a couple of years,

1113
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 2: life will go on. Then the Raiders are gonna have

1114
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 2: to get rid of their own of expensive backup. Jimmy

1115
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:54,840
Speaker 2: Garoppolo that said Wilson could be a bridge quarterback for

1116
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 2: the Raiders, and I as I'm on record as saying,

1117
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 2: I don't know why they haven't given Antonio Pere's the

1118
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 2: job yet. I think we're gonna talk about that later

1119
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 2: in the show. Don't go big name hunting again, Mark

1120
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 2: Wilson or Mark Mark Davis. Mark Wilson is my legendary

1121
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:14,240
Speaker 2: radio partner Detroit, Emmy winn here, Emmy Award winner, Mark Wilson.

1122
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 2: Here's the bottom line, Russell Wilson, I think has some

1123
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:20,440
Speaker 2: gas in the tank. The bottom line is why the

1124
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 2: Raiders they might want them, they might not. I don't know.

1125
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:25,920
Speaker 2: They need to maybe get their quarterback of the future.

1126
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 2: They moved on from Derek Carr. They did the same

1127
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 2: exact thing last year to Derek Carr. The Raiders did,

1128
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 2: and even Jared Stidham started the final two weeks. Derek

1129
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:40,600
Speaker 2: Carr found a home in New Orleans. And if you're

1130
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 2: gonna make me shoes between Russell Wilson and Derek Carr,

1131
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 2: it's not even close. I'll take Russell Wilson. No, Derek

1132
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 2: Carr was sixty three and seventy nine as a start.

1133
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna go down that road again. I get

1134
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 2: a headache, got a migraine headache talking about that. But

1135
00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:56,200
Speaker 2: the bottom line is the best player. You know, the

1136
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 2: Raiders have to look to their future. But Wilson could

1137
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 2: be a good bridge quarterback off of the Minnesota Vikings.

1138
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 2: They're gonna want Kirk Cousins back, I believe, but frankly,

1139
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:08,920
Speaker 2: their quarterback plans for twenty twenty four are uncertain because

1140
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 2: even though Kirk cousins contract voids at the conclusion of

1141
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 2: the season, he's also going to have a lot of

1142
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:17,400
Speaker 2: offers and Cousins is probably going to demand a lot

1143
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 2: of money, and so you know, I think in that case,

1144
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 2: Wilson could also serve. Russell Wilson could also serves as

1145
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:29,960
Speaker 2: an above average bridge quarterback and maybe Vikings bringing a

1146
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 2: youngster and they allow him to develop right Cousins if

1147
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 2: he does return to the Vikings, that completely Kay Boshes.

1148
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 2: Any chance of Russell Wilson going there, that would be

1149
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 2: the thing to Kyle Bosh. That another name that's cropping

1150
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 2: up again. These are whispers, not reporting these is if

1151
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 2: they are facts, not reporting these as if it's you know, sourced,

1152
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 2: they're just whispers. The New England Patriots again, the Patriots

1153
00:58:56,840 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 2: are likely going to need a quarterback in twenty twenty

1154
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 2: four to the end of the mac Jones era, And

1155
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:03,240
Speaker 2: now it's not clear yet who's going to be making

1156
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 2: the decision to bring in the quarterback. And if Bill

1157
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 2: Belichick is still around, would he be interested in a quick,

1158
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 2: fixed plan or instead of a long term rebuild. That

1159
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:17,560
Speaker 2: would make Russell Wilson an option in New England. On

1160
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 2: the other hand, the Patriots could end up with a

1161
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:22,320
Speaker 2: top two pick and there might be a lot of

1162
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 2: reasons to take advantage of that and have a quarterback

1163
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:26,920
Speaker 2: on a rookie contract. He would know, you know how

1164
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 2: dice it is to draft a quarterback and have him

1165
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 2: be successful. Now, they did it with Tom Brady. He

1166
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:35,720
Speaker 2: was drafted in the seventh round. Believe it or not.

1167
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 2: Since the merger, there been one hundred and forty four

1168
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:40,640
Speaker 2: quarterbacks drafted in the first round. Only nine got the

1169
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 2: team they were drafted by to the Super Bowl. So

1170
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:46,000
Speaker 2: the odds of drafting a quarterback and making the work

1171
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:48,880
Speaker 2: are not You know, the odds are not in your favor.

1172
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 2: May the odds ever be in your favorite the hundred games,

1173
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 2: but the odds are not in your favorite. When you

1174
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 2: draft a quarterback the Washington Commanders, Well, Joel, when Jacoby

1175
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:02,680
Speaker 2: Brissett started, I like him as a backup. He became

1176
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 2: the Washington what the Redskins, Washington football team Commanders thirty

1177
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:12,880
Speaker 2: sixth starting quarterback in the last thirty years. That's not good.

1178
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 2: That's not good. That's just sad. But for the right price,

1179
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:22,120
Speaker 2: meaning salary, maybe Russell Wilson would take a flyer. Maybe

1180
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 2: they'd take a fly around him. I really can't see

1181
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:29,200
Speaker 2: Washington trading picks to get him, just like Denver did

1182
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 2: to Seattle. But Wilson could be viewed as a viable

1183
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 2: option to the franchise seeking quick turn around. And we

1184
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:38,480
Speaker 2: don't know if Ron Rivera is going to be back,

1185
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 2: and Russell Wilson still is a marquee player. Look, we

1186
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 2: spent a lot of tonight talking about him, and he's

1187
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:46,040
Speaker 2: been all over the airwaves all week since this happened.

1188
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 2: There's a reason for that. The truth of the matter, though,

1189
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 2: is look, Ron Rivera tried to trade for Russell Wilson

1190
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:57,640
Speaker 2: back in twenty twenty two, but Russell Wilson himself had

1191
01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:00,840
Speaker 2: no interest in joining the Commanders thought it was a circus.

1192
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:03,680
Speaker 2: But Dan Snyder owned the team. Then with Snyder out

1193
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 2: and there's a possibility for Vera exits. Maybe they try

1194
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:11,760
Speaker 2: to lure Russell back from from one Washington or he

1195
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 2: used to be to a new Washington. See what I

1196
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 2: did there. We shall see. But if the ment, if

1197
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 2: the Commandos maintained the number three pick in the draft,

1198
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 2: well they may go after a highly talented prospect, right

1199
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 2: you know. And and I don't know, maybe they just

1200
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 2: pair somebody with Sam Howell, or maybe they bring back

1201
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 2: Cood Jacoby Bszett who will be a free agent. But

1202
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:35,160
Speaker 2: I do believe Russell Wilson will have a market, whether

1203
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:37,680
Speaker 2: you like him or not. And I appreciate everybody's comments today.

1204
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:41,680
Speaker 2: Really good stuff coming up. One of our Fox Sports

1205
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:44,000
Speaker 2: radio stars has a new TV show. We want to

1206
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:46,720
Speaker 2: promote that and catch up with the guy you hear

1207
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 2: every Saturday night. But first let's go back to our guy,

1208
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:50,240
Speaker 2: Kevin Wired with the latest.

1209
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's a developing story in college football. ESPN wire

1210
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:58,640
Speaker 6: a report earlier today that said the NCAA is conducting

1211
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 6: an investigation in the out dellegations that an unnamed college

1212
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 6: football program gained unauthorized access to materials from Catapult, which

1213
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 6: provides video services for several schools. Catapult Sports did confirm

1214
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:13,920
Speaker 6: it has conducted an investigation into the allegations, but did

1215
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:16,439
Speaker 6: not find a breach of its system. The company said

1216
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:21,840
Speaker 6: it is cooperating with local authorities and the NCAA. As

1217
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:25,080
Speaker 6: for the bowl action on Friday, the Cotton Bowl saw

1218
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 6: Missouri win a defensive battle with Ohio State fourteen to three,

1219
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:31,880
Speaker 6: as the Tigers scored all fourteen of their points in

1220
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 6: the fourth quarter. The Buckeys got their three in the

1221
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:38,360
Speaker 6: first quarter were held scoreless thereafter. Notre Dame with an

1222
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 6: Irish jig all over Oregon State in the Sun Bowl

1223
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:43,920
Speaker 6: down in al Paso, forty to eight. The winner the

1224
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:47,320
Speaker 6: winning score for Notre Dame number twenty two Clemson. They

1225
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 6: come from behind victory against Kentucky thirty eight thirty five

1226
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:52,400

Speaker 2: Ton with VJ. Husky. Hear them every Saturday night with

1379
01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:23,960
Speaker 2: Martin Weiss from five to eight. And it's good that

1380
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:25,720
Speaker 2: people get a chance to know you. Thanks to you

1381
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:29,680
Speaker 2: and your parents for your service to our country. As

1382
01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:33,679
Speaker 2: we wrap it up, tell the folks the primary theme

1383
01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:35,599
Speaker 2: of your show, what you want to accomplish most.

1384
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:38,639
Speaker 9: What I want to accomplish most is I think the fans.

1385
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:40,599
Speaker 9: I listen to the people, man. I'm about the people,

1386
01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:43,479
Speaker 9: and I think the fans are just tired of the

1387
01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:46,400
Speaker 9: yelling and screaming back and forth and the debates, and

1388
01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:48,840
Speaker 9: they just want to hear sports talk, man. They just

1389
01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:51,560
Speaker 9: want to hear somebody that's going to entertain them. Be knowledgeable.

1390
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:53,519
Speaker 9: We got a bunch of fun segments. I got a

1391
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:56,280
Speaker 9: segment called olde You, So you got to probably figure

1392
01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:58,120
Speaker 9: out what that segment is going to be. I got

1393
01:10:58,160 --> 01:11:00,639
Speaker 9: a segment called flag on the Play, or I'll pick

1394
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:02,519
Speaker 9: some things up during the week where hey, I'm gonna

1395
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:04,360
Speaker 9: throw a flag on you. Man, you see some crazy

1396
01:11:04,439 --> 01:11:07,400
Speaker 9: soft or an athlete does something. But Shard Mendehall is

1397
01:11:07,479 --> 01:11:10,320
Speaker 9: in the news right now. He Antonio Brown's out here

1398
01:11:10,360 --> 01:11:13,360
Speaker 9: in the news again, right now, Cam Newton, Flag on

1399
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:16,360
Speaker 9: the Play, got a segment called call outs, which I

1400
01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:18,720
Speaker 9: will be calling people out. So put your feelings the way,

1401
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:21,080
Speaker 9: ladies and gentlemen. If you say something wild and crazy,

1402
01:11:21,400 --> 01:11:23,240
Speaker 9: think the fans want to say that. And my favorite

1403
01:11:23,240 --> 01:11:24,880
Speaker 9: one is going to be say it with your chest.

1404
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:27,519
Speaker 9: And that's if you put a bold prediction out there,

1405
01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:29,800
Speaker 9: say it with your chest, don't dance around with it.

1406
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 9: Make a bold prediction. Stick by, and hey, if you

1407
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:35,639
Speaker 9: get it wrong, it's okay. Nobody's batting a thousand. Nobody

1408
01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:39,760
Speaker 9: shops one hundred percent from the field. We missed, admit it,

1409
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:42,120
Speaker 9: and let's move on to the next topic. So that's

1410
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:44,400
Speaker 9: my main thing is I want to bring back what

1411
01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:48,400
Speaker 9: I call real classics, entertaining sports talk. I think the

1412
01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:51,040
Speaker 9: people want it. I think other people in the industry

1413
01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:53,000
Speaker 9: would love to see it, and I want to be

1414
01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:55,479
Speaker 9: part of the change and a martyr of a sense

1415
01:11:55,720 --> 01:11:58,200
Speaker 9: of bringing that back to the fans in sports talk radio.

1416
01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:01,200
Speaker 2: Good luck to you, buddy, and we'll all be watching

1417
01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:01,839

1433
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:48,559

1448
01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:37,480
Speaker 2: coming up top of the hour. I believe that Antonio

1449
01:13:37,640 --> 01:13:41,400
Speaker 2: Pears is making his case to be the Raiders next

1450
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:44,880
Speaker 2: head coach. That has made his case to be the

1451
01:13:45,040 --> 01:13:48,479
Speaker 2: Raiders next head coach. Mark Davis does not need to

1452
01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:50,920
Speaker 2: go big name hunting again. It didn't work with Gruden,

1453
01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:54,280
Speaker 2: don't tell me it did. It's sure as hell didn't

1454
01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:57,720
Speaker 2: work with Josh McDaniels. I remember people telling me he's

1455
01:13:57,720 --> 01:14:01,120
Speaker 2: gonna hire Josh McDaniels. Well, what do I feel about that? Well,

1456
01:14:01,160 --> 01:14:03,720
Speaker 2: was he going to be bringing Brady and Belichick with him? No,

1457
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:05,840
Speaker 2: guess not. Then I don't feel so good about it.

1458
01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:10,840
Speaker 2: And you saw what happen. One of the reasons, I'll

1459
01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:12,200
Speaker 2: tell you what I'm gonna get. I'm gonna say this

1460
01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:13,400
Speaker 2: for the top of the hour. I'm gonna draw a

1461
01:14:13,479 --> 01:14:16,880
Speaker 2: parallel for the years I covered the Lions and my

1462
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:19,120
Speaker 2: observations when they would bring in an interim coach, and

1463
01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:22,439
Speaker 2: how I can tell that I believe that Antonio appears

1464
01:14:23,080 --> 01:14:25,200
Speaker 2: is in fact the right guy. And I know if

1465
01:14:25,240 --> 01:14:27,680
Speaker 2: somebody's out there listening saying, well, Bernie a idiot. He

1466
01:14:27,800 --> 01:14:31,679
Speaker 2: can't unilaterally hire him yet because according to the Rooney Rule,

1467
01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:35,320
Speaker 2: Mark Davis must interview at least two external minority candidates

1468
01:14:35,400 --> 01:14:37,840
Speaker 2: before making the high. Well, he's had a month to

1469
01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:42,280
Speaker 2: do it. What's stopping him? Okay, so you got your

1470
01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:44,439
Speaker 2: guy here, man, don't don't mess around. We're gonna get

1471
01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:46,960
Speaker 2: into this at the top of the hour. Speaking in

1472
01:14:47,040 --> 01:14:52,200
Speaker 2: the National Football League, Well, it raised eyebrows when they

1473
01:14:52,280 --> 01:14:56,840
Speaker 2: decided the NFL decided that they would go head up

1474
01:14:56,840 --> 01:15:02,120
Speaker 2: with the NBA on Christmas Day Monday play a triple header. Well,

1475
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:05,599
Speaker 2: the numbers are in. The NFL's taken another victory lap

1476
01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:11,000
Speaker 2: after a very heavily watched Christmas Day triple header. Just

1477
01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:14,799
Speaker 2: two days ago, the league announced that Monday's three games

1478
01:15:14,920 --> 01:15:19,280
Speaker 2: drew an average This is amazing, an average of twenty

1479
01:15:19,320 --> 01:15:22,520
Speaker 2: eight point seven million viewers on TV and digital platforms.

1480
01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:28,759
Speaker 2: That's a thirty percent increase from last year's Christmas games.

1481
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:35,679
Speaker 2: Thirty percent increase and not for nothing. You know, they've

1482
01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:40,639
Speaker 2: had a Christmas game on nfls had games on Christmas before.

1483
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:45,360
Speaker 2: Going back to what nineteen seventy one, the famous Chiefs

1484
01:15:46,160 --> 01:15:48,880
Speaker 2: what the Chiefs Dolphins game? They went with forty two

1485
01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:52,160
Speaker 2: overtimes made ed potal Act a national name for a while.

1486
01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:55,519
Speaker 2: Google it, knuckleheads ed poto Act. Some people out there,

1487
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:58,160
Speaker 2: tonya abby if you remember the legendary ed potol Act.

1488
01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:01,840
Speaker 2: All right, here's the key. All three games though on

1489
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:05,920
Speaker 2: Christmas Day. All three rank among the five most watched

1490
01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:09,320
Speaker 2: Christmas Day games on record in the last thirty five years,

1491
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:16,519
Speaker 2: including the game between Baltimore and San Francisco on Monday

1492
01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:21,040
Speaker 2: Night Football that through twenty seven million viewers. So Christmas Day,

1493
01:16:21,880 --> 01:16:24,880
Speaker 2: I mean, it's incredible. What the NFL did. Does this

1494
01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:30,240
Speaker 2: mean we're gonna be watching more Christmas Day games next season? Well,

1495
01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:34,559
Speaker 2: that's where it gets a little dicey. Next year. If

1496
01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:38,440
Speaker 2: you've looked at the calendar, Christmas Day falls on a Wednesday.

1497
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:44,200
Speaker 2: Would they jumble their schedule around? Would the NFL do it? Eh?

1498
01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:46,639
Speaker 2: Don't rule it out. Man. They're already talking about opening

1499
01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:49,200
Speaker 2: up the season in Brazil. So I think everything's on

1500
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:53,040
Speaker 2: the table. But here's the kicker. After that, I believe

1501
01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:55,840
Speaker 2: for the next eight years after that, or through and

1502
01:16:55,960 --> 01:17:00,479
Speaker 2: check that through twenty twenty nine, for sure, the NFL

1503
01:17:00,479 --> 01:17:03,560
Speaker 2: will fall on traditional game days like a Thursday or

1504
01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:05,760
Speaker 2: Saturday or Sunday or Monday. And by the way, you

1505
01:17:05,880 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 2: know darn well, since the NFL had a Black Friday

1506
01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:13,120
Speaker 2: game after Thanksgiving that was supposed to be the Aaron

1507
01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:17,559
Speaker 2: Rodgers Green Bay game against the I believe it's against Miami.

1508
01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:22,280
Speaker 2: The bottom line is this, I believe they'll continue having

1509
01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:25,559
Speaker 2: a Black Friday game every year, no question in my mind,

1510
01:17:25,680 --> 01:17:28,800
Speaker 2: maybe even more than one game, more football on more days.

1511
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:31,280
Speaker 2: By the way, just a quickie, this is so Nick

1512
01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:34,840
Speaker 2: Sabe and ask Alabama coaches are urging their players not

1513
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:37,400
Speaker 2: to watch film on their tablets in the wake of

1514
01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:40,120
Speaker 2: Michigan signs stealing scandal. They were preparing for their bowl

1515
01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:43,439
Speaker 2: game Monday, the semi final game at the Rose Bowl.

1516
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:49,080
Speaker 2: The winner obviously captain obvious advances to the finals, and

1517
01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:51,720
Speaker 2: they basically the coaches said, hey, the appy record film

1518
01:17:51,800 --> 01:17:54,040
Speaker 2: off of They were looking at other plays, you know,

1519
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:58,880
Speaker 2: play calls, hand signals, whatever, and Alabama was mindful. You know,

1520
01:17:58,880 --> 01:18:01,320
Speaker 2: I'm wondering if that's a if that's bulletin board of

1521
01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:07,160
Speaker 2: material for Michigan. I really do because when you make

1522
01:18:07,240 --> 01:18:09,320
Speaker 2: that statement publicly, if you want to do it, fine,

1523
01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:11,960
Speaker 2: But if you make the statement publicly that you don't

1524
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:17,880
Speaker 2: watch your players watching film on their tablets in light

1525
01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:20,759
Speaker 2: of the fact that Michigan had a sign stealing scandal,

1526
01:18:21,760 --> 01:18:24,000
Speaker 2: some people are going to see it as being overly cautious.

1527
01:18:24,360 --> 01:18:27,160
Speaker 2: Some people might see it as flat out paranoid. There's

1528
01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:30,000
Speaker 2: no credit Nick Saban for next level mind games. Maybe,

1529
01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:33,600
Speaker 2: but TID players shared that their coaches have recommended that

1530
01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:36,960
Speaker 2: they stay off their individual tablets and it's exact reason

1531
01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:42,080
Speaker 2: they gave was Michigan's sign stealing scandal. And apparently, you know,

1532
01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:44,040
Speaker 2: they don't want to want to take any chances of

1533
01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:47,800
Speaker 2: the players I have bought into this so Saban he's

1534
01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:50,519
Speaker 2: the master of preparation. This is where he lives. I

1535
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:54,800
Speaker 2: can't wait to see this game on Monday. We'll break

1536
01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:57,479
Speaker 2: it down heavily, more heavily Sunday night. As will also

1537
01:18:57,520 --> 01:18:59,160
Speaker 2: be in for the Ben Maller Show on Sunday Night

1538
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:03,559
Speaker 2: coming up. We make the case. I think, well, Antonio

1539
01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:06,559
Speaker 2: Pierce is already doing it. He should be the Raiders

1540
01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:09,639
Speaker 2: next coach. That's the way I feel. And I'm gonna

1541
01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:12,519
Speaker 2: be receipts. That's the new thing to say today. Bring receipts,

1542
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:15,479
Speaker 2: keep it locked. You're listening to the Bernie frattle Show

Speaker 2: com the way tire buying should be. Before I dive

1551
01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:47,080
Speaker 2: into the Antonio Pierce situation with the Raiders, and why

1552
01:19:47,160 --> 01:19:50,120
Speaker 2: I believe he should be the head coach, and what

1553
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:54,439
Speaker 2: has been transpiring since Josh McDaniels was relieved of his

1554
01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:57,800
Speaker 2: duties his week eight. It has been a minute. The

1555
01:19:57,880 --> 01:20:01,120
Speaker 2: ten years I covered the Lions are the coaches in order,

1556
01:20:01,320 --> 01:20:05,679
Speaker 2: Wayne Fonce he got fired, you had an interim coach

1557
01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:11,120
Speaker 2: in Gary Mohler, actually had Bobby Ross, and then Gary Moler,

1558
01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:15,680
Speaker 2: and then after Ross quit and then Matt mellontik over

1559
01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:19,120
Speaker 2: the Legendhire's Marty morning Wegg. That didn't work out, brings

1560
01:20:19,200 --> 01:20:21,719
Speaker 2: in Steve Mariucci fires him. Then he had Dick Jeron

1561
01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:25,000
Speaker 2: as an interim, and then for the legendary Rod Marinelli.

1562
01:20:25,080 --> 01:20:27,439
Speaker 2: So I've tell people I saw it all so Barry

1563
01:20:27,479 --> 01:20:31,720
Speaker 2: Sanders last year, and I saw THEE to sixteen twenty

1564
01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:34,160
Speaker 2: and eight team. Where am I going with this? Whenever

1565
01:20:34,200 --> 01:20:38,240
Speaker 2: an interim coach would come in, the team would straighten up,

1566
01:20:38,320 --> 01:20:40,760
Speaker 2: fly right, play hard, and look a little different for

1567
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:43,000
Speaker 2: at least a couple of weeks, and then it would

1568
01:20:43,160 --> 01:20:46,080
Speaker 2: go back to what it was before. Pretty much that's

1569
01:20:46,160 --> 01:20:50,559
Speaker 2: not happening here with Antonio Pierce. Nine weeks later, they're

1570
01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:53,840
Speaker 2: playing their ass off for this guy. That's not imagined.

1571
01:20:53,920 --> 01:20:58,160
Speaker 2: I trust my eyes. They tell me a lot. Now

1572
01:20:58,840 --> 01:21:01,600
Speaker 2: there's no one the Raiders have made a decision on

1573
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:05,439
Speaker 2: Pierce's future yet before the season, and I know that

1574
01:21:06,360 --> 01:21:09,600
Speaker 2: you know pundits will say his only experience was as

1575
01:21:09,640 --> 01:21:12,880
Speaker 2: a head coach was in high school for four years. However,

1576
01:21:13,040 --> 01:21:17,200
Speaker 2: when you saw the way this team looked in Arrowhead

1577
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:22,680
Speaker 2: Stadium on Christmas Day, completely frustrating Patrick Mahomes, completely frustrating

1578
01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:26,479
Speaker 2: Travis Kelsey, probably frustrating Taylor Swift in the process. That's

1579
01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:29,840
Speaker 2: quite a TRIFACTA even Tony Bruno or Tony Bruno to

1580
01:21:29,920 --> 01:21:33,880
Speaker 2: a great guy, Tony Bruno, Tony Romo said toward the

1581
01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:35,840
Speaker 2: end of the game that I think he should be

1582
01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:39,519
Speaker 2: the head coach next year. Michael Strahan was another who

1583
01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:44,200
Speaker 2: endorsed Pierce. He noticed that this team has genuine, renewed

1584
01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:47,720
Speaker 2: energy and it's real. And make no mistake, Pierce knows

1585
01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:50,240
Speaker 2: what it's like to be an NFL player. Played in

1586
01:21:50,240 --> 01:21:52,439
Speaker 2: the league nine seasons, five of the New York Giants,

1587
01:21:52,479 --> 01:21:55,080
Speaker 2: four with Washington Redskins, one Pro Bowl, won a Super

1588
01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:58,439
Speaker 2: Bowl with New York. Retired after the two thousand and

1589
01:21:58,479 --> 01:22:02,200
Speaker 2: nine season, started coaching Long Beach Polly High School in

1590
01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:05,519
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen, outs in southern California. It's a legendary high

1591
01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:12,200
Speaker 2: high school period for the talent it's produced, from Tony

1592
01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:15,000
Speaker 2: Gwynn to Cameron Diaz and a bunch of NFL players,

1593
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:17,920
Speaker 2: trust me. Then he went to Arizona State to be

1594
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:21,400
Speaker 2: the linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator under Herm Edwards, and

1595
01:22:21,560 --> 01:22:24,479
Speaker 2: Pierce had actually played his college ball at Arizona. I

1596
01:22:24,560 --> 01:22:26,840
Speaker 2: think it was teammates with Arnie Spanier. We love Arnie.

1597
01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:30,640
Speaker 2: He was promoted to the Sun Devil's defensive coordinator, and

1598
01:22:30,760 --> 01:22:33,080
Speaker 2: of course he had actually became the associate head coach

1599
01:22:33,120 --> 01:22:36,040
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty, but then joined the Raiders to be

1600
01:22:36,120 --> 01:22:40,360
Speaker 2: the team's linebacker coach two years ago. Somehow I know

1601
01:22:40,439 --> 01:22:43,840
Speaker 2: it's mathematic and it's I think you got a better

1602
01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:47,040
Speaker 2: chance at Gilligan's Island theme song being recorded by Led

1603
01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:49,559
Speaker 2: Zeppelin selling a million copies and the Raiders making the playoffs.

1604
01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:52,519
Speaker 2: But the fact that they're still alive after what's happened,

1605
01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:57,200
Speaker 2: after watching them hand the Chiefs convincingly their sixth loss

1606
01:22:57,240 --> 01:23:00,040
Speaker 2: of the season, The fact that we even have in

1607
01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:04,959
Speaker 2: his conversation. I think it's a no brainer that Antonio

1608
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:07,920
Speaker 2: appears has positioned himself to be the new favorite to

1609
01:23:08,040 --> 01:23:11,880
Speaker 2: take control of the Raiders head coaching job. Now, look,

1610
01:23:13,720 --> 01:23:20,439
Speaker 2: Mark Davis, he hired John Gruden with his best intentions

1611
01:23:20,479 --> 01:23:23,560
Speaker 2: and paid a bazillion dollars. It didn't work out, and

1612
01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:25,640
Speaker 2: on the heels of that, it ended in a very

1613
01:23:25,720 --> 01:23:29,000
Speaker 2: unceremonious fashion. And so a guy named rich Passaci, who

1614
01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:31,639
Speaker 2: was a special teams coordinator, took over the final four games.

1615
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:36,360
Speaker 2: They won all four games. His audition went well. They

1616
01:23:36,439 --> 01:23:39,880
Speaker 2: could have certainly beaten the Bengals in the playoffs on

1617
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:41,800
Speaker 2: the road. That was the Bengals team that got to

1618
01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:45,439
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. But Derek Carr went Derek Carring, you know,

1619
01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:48,280
Speaker 2: did what he does in the fourth quarter, and did

1620
01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:50,200
Speaker 2: what he does on a third down, spiking the ball

1621
01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:52,479
Speaker 2: on fourth down and throwing interceptions early in the game

1622
01:23:52,600 --> 01:23:56,320
Speaker 2: put the Raiders in a hole. And then I actually

1623
01:23:56,479 --> 01:23:58,840
Speaker 2: campaigned for Rich Bisaci too, went on a couple of

1624
01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:01,960
Speaker 2: local shows here in Vegas, but they passed on him.

1625
01:24:02,120 --> 01:24:04,599
Speaker 2: Mark Davis wanted to go big, big name honey again,

1626
01:24:05,240 --> 01:24:09,680
Speaker 2: and people asked me, what do I think about Josh McDaniels,

1627
01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:12,280
Speaker 2: if they hire him, said, well again, if he's bringing

1628
01:24:12,320 --> 01:24:14,200
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick and Tom Brady to come with him, and

1629
01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:16,800
Speaker 2: then I'm mom all for it. Well you saw what

1630
01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:19,559
Speaker 2: happened there. So now we have Dajevel all over again.

1631
01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:25,160
Speaker 2: Yogi Antonio Peers taking over in a difficult situation, and

1632
01:24:26,080 --> 01:24:28,080
Speaker 2: he's making the case to get the full time job,

1633
01:24:29,240 --> 01:24:33,000
Speaker 2: and he's all about wanting to win. It's like a

1634
01:24:33,120 --> 01:24:36,600
Speaker 2: chip off Al Davis is that, you know block. He

1635
01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:40,559
Speaker 2: just wants to win. He sees a fans the fan

1636
01:24:40,640 --> 01:24:42,439
Speaker 2: base is behind him. I believe the fan base is

1637
01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:45,640
Speaker 2: very much behind him. We see with our eyes the

1638
01:24:45,720 --> 01:24:50,360
Speaker 2: style of play that is reminiscent in what the Raiders

1639
01:24:50,479 --> 01:24:53,160
Speaker 2: used to be. The Raiders used to take the field

1640
01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:56,240
Speaker 2: and win games on reputation. Look at what that defense

1641
01:24:56,320 --> 01:24:58,559
Speaker 2: is doing right out of left field that they were

1642
01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:02,000
Speaker 2: playing this kind of defense earlier year. This is a guy,

1643
01:25:02,200 --> 01:25:05,559
Speaker 2: Antonio Pierce, that loves this job, loves coming to work,

1644
01:25:05,720 --> 01:25:09,800
Speaker 2: loves being here. I think he loves people that work

1645
01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:12,840
Speaker 2: with him and around him. He's very great to the

1646
01:25:12,920 --> 01:25:15,599
Speaker 2: media covering the team. And at the end of the day, yes,

1647
01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:22,519
Speaker 2: he's four and three and that's not bad, okay, Mark

1648
01:25:22,600 --> 01:25:24,759
Speaker 2: Davis so far as all he said is he's intrigued

1649
01:25:24,760 --> 01:25:29,000
Speaker 2: by Pierce, and he's impressed with when he's talked to him.

1650
01:25:29,760 --> 01:25:32,679
Speaker 2: And he just told Pierce, just lead, don't worry about coaching.

1651
01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:35,400
Speaker 2: Just lead. You don't have to necessarily coach. Delegate to

1652
01:25:35,439 --> 01:25:38,120
Speaker 2: the coordinators and position coaches, and you know, just be

1653
01:25:38,240 --> 01:25:42,439
Speaker 2: someone they can follow. But the Raiders players are speaking

1654
01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:46,840
Speaker 2: of too. One of their tackles, Jermaine Elamore, he said,

1655
01:25:46,880 --> 01:25:49,240
Speaker 2: the players love playing for Pierce and the GM, the

1656
01:25:49,280 --> 01:25:52,120
Speaker 2: new GM that replaced Dave Zigler. I should have mentioned

1657
01:25:52,160 --> 01:25:54,920
Speaker 2: that he got let go as well, cham Kelly. And

1658
01:25:55,040 --> 01:25:57,160
Speaker 2: I know people are someone's out there thinking, well, he

1659
01:25:57,400 --> 01:25:59,920
Speaker 2: can't hire a Pierce yet he's thanks to the rooney,

1660
01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:03,160
Speaker 2: he's got to interview at least two external minority candidates

1661
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:06,479
Speaker 2: for the job before making the higher. Well, he's had

1662
01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:09,040
Speaker 2: nine weeks to do it. Maybe he could get permission,

1663
01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:11,240
Speaker 2: be creative, do what you gotta do. I don't the

1664
01:26:11,320 --> 01:26:13,120
Speaker 2: longer this goes and I don't hire him, I don't

1665
01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:15,720
Speaker 2: like I don't like the look. I think you get

1666
01:26:15,800 --> 01:26:21,679
Speaker 2: to get to work. Antonio appears brought in Jack Jones,

1667
01:26:21,680 --> 01:26:25,439
Speaker 2: who made a just recently, who made a key defensive

1668
01:26:25,479 --> 01:26:28,559
Speaker 2: play to help beat the Chiefs last week. And I really,

1669
01:26:28,960 --> 01:26:32,400
Speaker 2: honestly like you saw what Sean Payton said the other day.

1670
01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:34,800
Speaker 2: And Sean Payton's a Super Bowl winning coach, and I'm

1671
01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:36,320
Speaker 2: not going to distion, but I don't like what he did.

1672
01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:39,639
Speaker 2: He got up there in a podium and he spoke

1673
01:26:39,720 --> 01:26:45,840
Speaker 2: words that most people have a hard time believing. But

1674
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:49,880
Speaker 2: when Antonio appears merely said, quote, my resume is on

1675
01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:53,040
Speaker 2: the grass, which I could put up a fancy presentation.

1676
01:26:53,200 --> 01:26:55,760
Speaker 2: I've seen that before. I could put up stats, I

1677
01:26:55,800 --> 01:26:58,000
Speaker 2: can put up a resume, But the best thing that

1678
01:26:58,120 --> 01:27:01,360
Speaker 2: happened for me was the opportunity. What's what he's done

1679
01:27:01,400 --> 01:27:06,920
Speaker 2: on the field, that should be his interview And he said,

1680
01:27:07,400 --> 01:27:09,920
Speaker 2: you know, I'd really take pride and growing and every

1681
01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:12,719
Speaker 2: day getting better, no different than when I was a player,

1682
01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:14,400
Speaker 2: get better, and by the end, you look at it,

1683
01:27:14,439 --> 01:27:17,400
Speaker 2: whatever your career was, whatever your coaching careers, said that

1684
01:27:18,040 --> 01:27:19,800
Speaker 2: this is what it is, you can judge. And by

1685
01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:22,439
Speaker 2: the way, I left out that Pierce had a stint,

1686
01:27:22,640 --> 01:27:25,120
Speaker 2: you know, for a while, more than a minute as

1687
01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:27,200
Speaker 2: an analyst on TV, and I was liked. I thought

1688
01:27:27,200 --> 01:27:29,880
Speaker 2: he was insightful. He gave keen observations and he was

1689
01:27:29,920 --> 01:27:32,000
Speaker 2: able to break it down and bite sized pieces. That

1690
01:27:32,160 --> 01:27:35,639
Speaker 2: translates to coaching. His coaching is teaching. But let's actually

1691
01:27:35,680 --> 01:27:41,080
Speaker 2: look at some numbers. Okay, Under Josh McDaniels, opponents were

1692
01:27:41,080 --> 01:27:45,160
Speaker 2: averaging just under twenty four points per game against the Raiders.

1693
01:27:46,120 --> 01:27:49,439
Speaker 2: With Antonio Pierce at the helm, they're not only averaging

1694
01:27:49,560 --> 01:27:52,760
Speaker 2: fifteen point three points a game. And he recain to

1695
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:58,800
Speaker 2: the same defensive coordinator, Patrick Graham. That's impressive. If you

1696
01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:03,880
Speaker 2: only allow fifteen points a game, that's a playoff team. Now,

1697
01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:05,519
Speaker 2: he took over too late in the season and the

1698
01:28:05,600 --> 01:28:07,760
Speaker 2: season was broken and they're down to what their third

1699
01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:14,160
Speaker 2: spring quarterback. But the turnover margin was minus eight before

1700
01:28:14,200 --> 01:28:16,559
Speaker 2: the switch. That was the first eight weeks of the season.

1701
01:28:17,240 --> 01:28:20,439
Speaker 2: Now it's plus five under Antonio Pierce. The only thing

1702
01:28:20,520 --> 01:28:23,960
Speaker 2: that has changed is the head coach. The Raiders also

1703
01:28:24,160 --> 01:28:27,479
Speaker 2: ranked first in the NFL in scoring defense since Piers

1704
01:28:27,520 --> 01:28:30,800
Speaker 2: took over. They were twenty second through Week eight when

1705
01:28:30,880 --> 01:28:34,240
Speaker 2: Josh McDaniel got fired. Since Week nine, the Raiders have

1706
01:28:34,479 --> 01:28:39,320
Speaker 2: blit less a league low twelve percent of dropbacks all,

1707
01:28:39,560 --> 01:28:41,960
Speaker 2: Josh McDaniels used to blitz almost twenty five percent of

1708
01:28:42,040 --> 01:28:44,240
Speaker 2: the time, which is one of the highest in the league.

1709
01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:48,040
Speaker 2: But ironically, even though they're blitzing less, they have more

1710
01:28:48,240 --> 01:28:53,000
Speaker 2: sacks under Antonio Pierce. Pierce has coached the team for

1711
01:28:53,120 --> 01:28:57,400
Speaker 2: seven games. Josh McDaniels had him for eight. Under Josh McDaniels,

1712
01:28:57,640 --> 01:29:01,360
Speaker 2: the team had sixteen sacks. Under Antonio Peers, the team

1713
01:29:01,439 --> 01:29:04,959
Speaker 2: now has twenty four sacks. By the way, their opponent's

1714
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:08,560
Speaker 2: total QBR has dropped from sixty to thirty nine with

1715
01:29:08,720 --> 01:29:12,840
Speaker 2: Pierce as interim coach. He uses a very kind of

1716
01:29:12,920 --> 01:29:16,479
Speaker 2: a zone heavy scheme on defense, highest in the league.

1717
01:29:17,760 --> 01:29:21,519
Speaker 2: But he's made this system work. He's gotten the most

1718
01:29:21,600 --> 01:29:24,320
Speaker 2: out of his personnel, and the truth of the matter

1719
01:29:24,479 --> 01:29:28,040
Speaker 2: is he's also don to earth. He was asked after

1720
01:29:28,080 --> 01:29:30,519
Speaker 2: the Christmas Day when on National TV in Kansas City,

1721
01:29:31,800 --> 01:29:34,320
Speaker 2: when it was asked to Antonio Peers, do you think

1722
01:29:34,400 --> 01:29:38,280
Speaker 2: this bolsters your case for the full time job? Antonio's

1723
01:29:38,280 --> 01:29:43,280
Speaker 2: peers is Antonio Pierce's answer was thoughtful. He said, quote, well,

1724
01:29:44,200 --> 01:29:45,840
Speaker 2: we're two and one of the division. We beat the

1725
01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:47,840
Speaker 2: Chiefs at home. How many times did that happen? In

1726
01:29:47,840 --> 01:29:50,920
Speaker 2: the last twenty five years for the Raiders. Does anybody know,

1727
01:29:51,080 --> 01:29:54,519
Speaker 2: I don't know the exact number, does anybody know? Well,

1728
01:29:54,560 --> 01:29:58,519
Speaker 2: it turned out in the last twenty five years the

1729
01:29:58,640 --> 01:30:01,720
Speaker 2: Raiders actually beat the Chiefs eleven times at Arrowhead, but

1730
01:30:01,760 --> 01:30:05,000
Speaker 2: that's before the Mahomes days, but only twice in the

1731
01:30:05,120 --> 01:30:10,160
Speaker 2: last eleven years, and they did it in fine fashion. Okay, Look,

1732
01:30:11,080 --> 01:30:13,920
Speaker 2: you don't need to be an offensive guru. I don't

1733
01:30:13,960 --> 01:30:15,880
Speaker 2: know how much experience you have to have a coach.

1734
01:30:16,160 --> 01:30:17,960
Speaker 2: You can either do it or you can't. And they're

1735
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:20,800
Speaker 2: doing it the Pierce way, and the Pierce way is working.

1736
01:30:21,800 --> 01:30:24,200
Speaker 2: Mark Davis, if you're listening, and I believe you are,

1737
01:30:25,640 --> 01:30:29,040
Speaker 2: hire this guy, and I will tell you I've been

1738
01:30:29,080 --> 01:30:32,280
Speaker 2: around enough to know I'd bet a finger that if

1739
01:30:32,320 --> 01:30:35,920
Speaker 2: you don't hire Antonio Pierce, you're gonna lose this locker room,

1740
01:30:36,600 --> 01:30:38,920
Speaker 2: far worse than when you lost the Bisaci locker room.

1741
01:30:39,640 --> 01:30:42,080
Speaker 2: I'm really looking forward to what the Raiders do in

1742
01:30:42,120 --> 01:30:46,160
Speaker 2: their final two games, add Indanapolis Sunday, and then of

1743
01:30:46,200 --> 01:30:49,320
Speaker 2: course the following weekend. I'll be there allegiant to cover

1744
01:30:49,439 --> 01:30:53,400
Speaker 2: that game as the aforementioned Denver Broncos come to town.

1745
01:30:54,320 --> 01:30:59,680
Speaker 2: Coming up, a player for the Packers was suspended. He

1746
01:30:59,720 --> 01:31:04,960
Speaker 2: won't be playing this weekend for crashing a party. But

1747
01:31:05,120 --> 01:31:06,960
Speaker 2: not the kind of part of you might think. Still,

1748
01:31:07,080 --> 01:31:09,760
Speaker 2: this was a real knucklehead move and it really could

1749
01:31:09,800 --> 01:31:13,839
Speaker 2: have cost the Packers. I'll explain. Coming up, I'm Bernie Frattle.

1750
01:31:14,160 --> 01:31:15,880

Speaker 2: two am Pacific, five am Eastern. You know, it takes

1756
01:31:32,920 --> 01:31:34,840
Speaker 2: a lot to get to the National Football League. You

1757
01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:37,479
Speaker 2: gotta bring your body, mind, heart and soul onto the field.

1758
01:31:37,560 --> 01:31:40,920
Speaker 2: You have to have a base level of athleticism. You

1759
01:31:40,960 --> 01:31:44,120
Speaker 2: got to use your brain. You gotta use your brain.

1760
01:31:44,840 --> 01:31:47,240
Speaker 2: One of the more clever stories I can ever remember

1761
01:31:47,720 --> 01:31:50,080
Speaker 2: and involve the young tight end for the Chicago Bears

1762
01:31:50,400 --> 01:31:53,439
Speaker 2: in the eighties, name was Tim Reitman. I actually went

1763
01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:55,879
Speaker 2: to Mary Starr to see high school in Los Angeles

1764
01:31:55,920 --> 01:31:59,680
Speaker 2: where I'm David Gaskin went played at UCLA. Ends up

1765
01:31:59,680 --> 01:32:03,800
Speaker 2: with the B and H. One of the first NFL

1766
01:32:03,880 --> 01:32:06,160
Speaker 2: games he ever played was against the New York Giants,

1767
01:32:07,160 --> 01:32:12,760
Speaker 2: who featured the dreaded Lawrence Taylor and uh Rightman lined

1768
01:32:12,840 --> 01:32:15,519
Speaker 2: up with the line of scrimmage, and Lawrence Taylor got

1769
01:32:15,600 --> 01:32:18,000
Speaker 2: right over him and started snarling, and he said, Sonny,

1770
01:32:18,680 --> 01:32:22,360
Speaker 2: when that ball is snapped, I'm gonna go to the

1771
01:32:22,479 --> 01:32:26,040
Speaker 2: left and I'm gonna knock your quarterback on his butt,

1772
01:32:26,080 --> 01:32:27,560
Speaker 2: put him out of the game, and it's gonna be

1773
01:32:27,600 --> 01:32:29,479
Speaker 2: all your fault. There's not a damn thing you can

1774
01:32:29,560 --> 01:32:34,360
Speaker 2: do about it. Well, rightman knew the snap count and

1775
01:32:34,400 --> 01:32:39,560
Speaker 2: the cadence, and just precisely before the ball was snapped,

1776
01:32:41,240 --> 01:32:44,880
Speaker 2: Rightman looked Lawrence Taylor in the eye and said, mister Taylor,

1777
01:32:45,720 --> 01:32:52,320
Speaker 2: is that your left or my left? Taylor was momentarily frozen.

1778
01:32:52,600 --> 01:32:57,200
Speaker 2: The ball was snapped, Rightman fires off the line, hits

1779
01:32:57,240 --> 01:33:01,559
Speaker 2: him right in the nuts and knocks him down. Taylor smiled,

1780
01:33:01,640 --> 01:33:03,799
Speaker 2: wagged his figure out of him and said, not bad, Sonny,

1781
01:33:04,560 --> 01:33:08,799
Speaker 2: not bad. Well, I'm guessing the Green Bay Packers wishes

1782
01:33:08,840 --> 01:33:13,320
Speaker 2: their own gyre Alexander. Everybody used his head just a

1783
01:33:13,439 --> 01:33:18,280
Speaker 2: little bit before he decided to crash a party well,

1784
01:33:18,560 --> 01:33:20,920
Speaker 2: it really wasn't a party. It was the coin toss.

1785
01:33:22,040 --> 01:33:24,639
Speaker 2: And if you don't believe, something can go wrong during

1786
01:33:24,720 --> 01:33:28,840
Speaker 2: the coin toss. In nineteen ninety eight a game I

1787
01:33:28,920 --> 01:33:32,880
Speaker 2: covered it. This was back at the Silver Dome on Thanksgiving, David.

1788
01:33:32,880 --> 01:33:36,640
Speaker 2: The Pittsburgh Steelers played the Lions in the game went

1789
01:33:36,680 --> 01:33:38,759
Speaker 2: overtime and they had to flip a coin at overtime

1790
01:33:40,040 --> 01:33:41,880
Speaker 2: to decide you know who'd get the ball. Blah blah blah.

1791
01:33:42,479 --> 01:33:45,599
Speaker 2: Jerome Bettis set heads. The refs thought he said tails.

1792
01:33:45,640 --> 01:33:48,640
Speaker 2: The Lions got the ball, received took the ball down

1793
01:33:48,680 --> 01:33:50,880
Speaker 2: the feeling score. Later it was revealed through video and

1794
01:33:50,960 --> 01:33:55,320
Speaker 2: audio that the refs botched it. That you know, Jerome

1795
01:33:55,360 --> 01:33:57,679
Speaker 2: Bettis was telling the truth. I bet Steelers fans remember

1796
01:33:57,760 --> 01:33:59,680
Speaker 2: this because it wasn't a little thing. It was a

1797
01:33:59,720 --> 01:34:02,479
Speaker 2: big led to a rule change in how the coin

1798
01:34:02,680 --> 01:34:07,280
Speaker 2: toss is handled now. But I digress. The bottom line

1799
01:34:07,439 --> 01:34:11,320
Speaker 2: is the green Bay Packers announced Wendesday that Gyr Alexander

1800
01:34:11,400 --> 01:34:15,280
Speaker 2: has been placed on the reserve suspended list for one game,

1801
01:34:15,360 --> 01:34:17,040
Speaker 2: which is this weekend, and it's a big game for

1802
01:34:17,120 --> 01:34:20,240
Speaker 2: green Bay. They played Minnesota for quote conduct detrimental of

1803
01:34:20,320 --> 01:34:24,920
Speaker 2: the team. What happened. Well. Alexander inserted himselves to be

1804
01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:27,559
Speaker 2: part of the coin toss ahead of the Packers game

1805
01:34:27,600 --> 01:34:30,840
Speaker 2: against the Carolina Panthers last Sunday, despite not being a

1806
01:34:30,920 --> 01:34:34,679
Speaker 2: team captain, and his actions almost led to a massive blunder.

1807
01:34:35,280 --> 01:34:37,880
Speaker 2: And this is a team fighting for their playoff lives. Now.

1808
01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:41,800
Speaker 2: The good news is the Packers won thirty three to

1809
01:34:41,920 --> 01:34:46,679
Speaker 2: thirty on the road against Carolina. But when Alexander crashed

1810
01:34:46,760 --> 01:34:50,240
Speaker 2: the coin toss when team captains were at midfield, here

1811
01:34:50,560 --> 01:34:54,040
Speaker 2: is what happened. When a coin is flipped in a

1812
01:34:54,160 --> 01:34:57,560
Speaker 2: national football league and you win the toss, you have

1813
01:34:58,280 --> 01:35:06,160
Speaker 2: two chances responses. You can receive or you can defer. Okay,

1814
01:35:07,760 --> 01:35:13,360
Speaker 2: what did Alexander say? He said, we want to be

1815
01:35:13,439 --> 01:35:18,760
Speaker 2: on defense. What that's not something you answer. That's not

1816
01:35:19,000 --> 01:35:24,320
Speaker 2: normal nomenclature. You got to know how these things work. Fortunately,

1817
01:35:24,439 --> 01:35:29,000
Speaker 2: the official Kepta cooler head intervened and questioned if Alexander

1818
01:35:29,120 --> 01:35:34,360
Speaker 2: had actually really meant that he wanted to defer rather

1819
01:35:34,479 --> 01:35:38,400
Speaker 2: to defend, rather than defend. Credit to the referee. We

1820
01:35:38,560 --> 01:35:41,599
Speaker 2: pick on the fishes a lot, but this is one

1821
01:35:41,680 --> 01:35:46,200
Speaker 2: time that the referee actually saved Green Bay's bake and

1822
01:35:46,240 --> 01:35:52,280
Speaker 2: I'll tell you why, because if Giro Alexander had given

1823
01:35:52,280 --> 01:35:56,040
Speaker 2: the wrong answer, Carolina would have received the ball to

1824
01:35:56,160 --> 01:36:02,960
Speaker 2: start both halves. That's what happened. After the game. Packers

1825
01:36:03,040 --> 01:36:07,160
Speaker 2: coach Matt lafleurtel reporters, Well, he was pretty candid. He

1826
01:36:07,200 --> 01:36:11,120
Speaker 2: said what Alexander did was a big mistake. Interestingly enough,

1827
01:36:11,200 --> 01:36:13,000
Speaker 2: Alexander didn't a period of show a whole hell of

1828
01:36:13,040 --> 01:36:15,840
Speaker 2: a lot of remorse Sunday, telling reporters after the game

1829
01:36:16,560 --> 01:36:19,679
Speaker 2: that he wanted to be out there because he's from Charlotte.

1830
01:36:19,720 --> 01:36:22,760
Speaker 2: Oh well, that's a good reason. You gotta think, man,

1831
01:36:23,479 --> 01:36:27,519
Speaker 2: think now. Of course, the Packers have issued all the

1832
01:36:27,640 --> 01:36:32,160
Speaker 2: right platitudes and all the right you know, reportage and

1833
01:36:32,520 --> 01:36:37,879
Speaker 2: public relations statements since saying, quote, the decision to suspend

1834
01:36:37,920 --> 01:36:41,880
Speaker 2: a player is never easy, and not when we take lightly.

1835
01:36:42,960 --> 01:36:48,000
Speaker 2: Brian Gudokun said. He's the Packers general manager. He issued

1836
01:36:48,040 --> 01:36:52,200
Speaker 2: this statement shortly after the Packers announced that Alexander would

1837
01:36:52,200 --> 01:36:56,360
Speaker 2: be suspended. He said, quote, Unfortunately, Gyers' actions prior to

1838
01:36:56,439 --> 01:36:59,040
Speaker 2: the game in Carolina led us to take this step

1839
01:36:59,120 --> 01:37:02,160
Speaker 2: as an organization. See, if we have an expectation that

1840
01:37:02,280 --> 01:37:06,320
Speaker 2: everyone puts the team first, good gouts. What on to say?

1841
01:37:07,320 --> 01:37:10,600
Speaker 2: While we are disappointed, we had a good conversation with

1842
01:37:10,800 --> 01:37:13,400
Speaker 2: Gyr this morning and fully expect him to learn. Oh

1843
01:37:13,439 --> 01:37:16,200
Speaker 2: there it is there. It is the proverbio. If we

1844
01:37:16,320 --> 01:37:21,560
Speaker 2: expect to learn from this, yep, yeah for Rol Slovotnic.

1845
01:37:21,760 --> 01:37:23,640
Speaker 2: He murdered three people last week, but we had a

1846
01:37:23,680 --> 01:37:26,320
Speaker 2: good conversation week. He'll learn from this. I'll learn from this,

1847
01:37:26,439 --> 01:37:29,120
Speaker 2: and no one ever learns that. I'm so tired of

1848
01:37:29,160 --> 01:37:32,000
Speaker 2: hearing that. Back to the Draymond three, What's you gonna learn? Nothing?

1849
01:37:32,600 --> 01:37:36,240
Speaker 2: What's Gyre gonna learn not to go out and do

1850
01:37:36,280 --> 01:37:41,280
Speaker 2: the coin toss anymore? What's he gonna learn? What a

1851
01:37:41,439 --> 01:37:45,280
Speaker 2: dumb statement? As we move forward together, except you're not

1852
01:37:45,400 --> 01:37:50,559
Speaker 2: moving forward together. You're suspending him for a game. Why'd

1853
01:37:50,560 --> 01:37:53,120
Speaker 2: you really suspend him? Why don't you give the real reason?

1854
01:37:53,960 --> 01:37:56,479
Speaker 2: But we look forward to welcoming him back next week

1855
01:37:56,560 --> 01:37:59,880
Speaker 2: as a valued member of this team. He will continue

1856
01:37:59,880 --> 01:38:03,120
Speaker 2: to be at the future. Sounds like some high school

1857
01:38:03,200 --> 01:38:05,599
Speaker 2: JV basketball banquet where the coach has to say something

1858
01:38:05,600 --> 01:38:08,639
Speaker 2: about sending everybody even if some poor kid played four

1859
01:38:08,720 --> 01:38:12,880
Speaker 2: minutes all season. You gotta say something, right. Well. The

1860
01:38:12,920 --> 01:38:16,800
Speaker 2: bottom line, though, is the longer I live, the more

1861
01:38:17,800 --> 01:38:20,680
Speaker 2: you think you've seen it all, but you see something new.

1862
01:38:21,720 --> 01:38:24,599
Speaker 2: So there you have it. No, Gyr Alexander, He's being

1863
01:38:24,680 --> 01:38:28,439
Speaker 2: suspended because he almost cost the Packers a serious situation

1864
01:38:29,280 --> 01:38:33,639
Speaker 2: during the coin toss before the Charlotte game or before

1865
01:38:33,680 --> 01:38:35,559
Speaker 2: the Carolina game last Sunday. And oh, by the way,

1866
01:38:37,400 --> 01:38:39,240
Speaker 2: he's not even a captain, he shouldn't have been there.

1867
01:38:39,439 --> 01:38:43,280
Speaker 2: By the way, just a quickie after all the teeth gnashing,

1868
01:38:43,960 --> 01:38:47,439
Speaker 2: belly aching, lawyering up, whatever you want to call it

1869
01:38:49,120 --> 01:38:52,160
Speaker 2: about Florida State not being selected, and I get it.

1870
01:38:52,240 --> 01:38:54,000
Speaker 2: I've been over this a thousand times. I get it.

1871
01:38:54,080 --> 01:38:56,360
Speaker 2: They were deserving. Unfortunately, deserving is not a word that

1872
01:38:56,400 --> 01:39:00,680
Speaker 2: appears in the bylaws. Florida State received their dose of

1873
01:39:00,720 --> 01:39:03,559
Speaker 2: bad news the other day before thee their Orange Bowl

1874
01:39:03,640 --> 01:39:06,720
Speaker 2: matchup with Georgia, which is about twenty four hours away

1875
01:39:06,760 --> 01:39:10,479
Speaker 2: from now. Their second string quarterback take Ronemaker, which I

1876
01:39:10,600 --> 01:39:13,640
Speaker 2: believe was gonna be the heir apparent. When Jordan Travis graduated,

1877
01:39:14,240 --> 01:39:16,360
Speaker 2: he had formed Florida State. He intends to enter the

1878
01:39:16,479 --> 01:39:20,400
Speaker 2: NCAA portal and he will forego the Orange Bowl. Unreal.

1879
01:39:21,120 --> 01:39:23,760
Speaker 2: That means Florida State will be able to start that

1880
01:39:23,920 --> 01:39:28,320
Speaker 2: freshman Brock Glynn. As the number five Seminoles and the

1881
01:39:28,439 --> 01:39:32,679
Speaker 2: number six Bulldogs teed it up Saturday, and obviously, despite

1882
01:39:32,800 --> 01:39:34,720
Speaker 2: not being a part of the College Football Playoff, I

1883
01:39:34,840 --> 01:39:37,360
Speaker 2: was actually looking forward to a game of pride between

1884
01:39:37,400 --> 01:39:40,960
Speaker 2: Florida State, who's thirteen to zero and did win the

1885
01:39:41,040 --> 01:39:46,160
Speaker 2: ACC and twelve and one Georgia who who got beat

1886
01:39:46,240 --> 01:39:50,320
Speaker 2: by Alabama and because they didn't they didn't win their conference,

1887
01:39:50,760 --> 01:39:52,960
Speaker 2: didn't win their conference championship. You're not gonna leave out

1888
01:39:52,960 --> 01:39:56,080
Speaker 2: at one lost Alabama team that's the SEC champion. You're

1889
01:39:56,080 --> 01:39:57,760
Speaker 2: not gonna leave out the SEC when they win five

1890
01:39:57,800 --> 01:40:00,040
Speaker 2: of the last six, fourteen to the last twenty, but

1891
01:40:00,080 --> 01:40:01,559
Speaker 2: the only one to knock off Georgia in the last

1892
01:40:01,640 --> 01:40:04,280
Speaker 2: thirty games they were trying to repeat. They can't leave

1893
01:40:04,320 --> 01:40:06,880
Speaker 2: out Texas. Texas was the big twelve to one lost

1894
01:40:06,920 --> 01:40:10,640
Speaker 2: championship team and they beat Alabama. Meanwhy you got two

1895
01:40:10,680 --> 01:40:13,320
Speaker 2: other undefeated teams. And if you're telling me Florida State

1896
01:40:13,360 --> 01:40:15,720
Speaker 2: with a third ston quarterback or second string quarterback was

1897
01:40:15,760 --> 01:40:21,160
Speaker 2: better than undefeated Washington or undefeated Michigan, I'm not buying it.

1898
01:40:21,840 --> 01:40:25,960
Speaker 2: I'm not buying it. And Barnamaker said the decision to

1899
01:40:26,120 --> 01:40:29,200
Speaker 2: enter the portal was incredibly difficult. I'd like to know

1900
01:40:29,320 --> 01:40:32,240
Speaker 2: why he did it. I'm curious. Nothing against him. I

1901
01:40:32,400 --> 01:40:33,960
Speaker 2: just want to know what the reason is. And the

1902
01:40:34,080 --> 01:40:35,920
Speaker 2: timing is weird. It's too bad. What could have been

1903
01:40:35,920 --> 01:40:38,479
Speaker 2: a great bull game has gone down the toilet. Coming up,

1904
01:40:38,479 --> 01:40:41,240
Speaker 2: we've got Christopherfetzworld of Soccer, but first let's go back

1905

1971
01:44:40,360 --> 01:44:43,639
Speaker 16: suppose we could start with FIFA itself. We could talk

1972
01:44:43,680 --> 01:44:46,599

1973

1975
01:44:54,560 --> 01:44:58,960
Speaker 16: name into history as their veterans said farewell, like such

1976
01:44:58,960 --> 01:45:03,879
Speaker 16: as Megan Rappino and the new stars of the women's

1977
01:45:03,960 --> 01:45:08,639
Speaker 16: team have yet to really bring championship glory to really

1978
01:45:09,000 --> 01:45:12,599
Speaker 16: stamp their name on the legacy of that team. Instead,

1979
01:45:12,640 --> 01:45:15,519
Speaker 16: it was Spain who walked away with the trophy this year,

1980
01:45:15,800 --> 01:45:20,040
Speaker 16: and their championship and their celebration really overshadowed by the

1981
01:45:20,160 --> 01:45:24,639
Speaker 16: antics of Spanish Federation president Luis Ribiales and the kiss

1982
01:45:24,880 --> 01:45:29,560
Speaker 16: that ruined it all and plunge that nation, FIFA and

1983
01:45:29,680 --> 01:45:34,559
Speaker 16: really all of women's world soccer into chaos until finally

1984
01:45:34,640 --> 01:45:37,639
Speaker 16: he was forced from the spotlight in the men's game.

1985
01:45:37,920 --> 01:45:40,720
Speaker 16: So much has happened, and I suppose we start with

1986
01:45:40,840 --> 01:45:43,680
Speaker 16: the biggest name out there, the power of one man

1987
01:45:43,880 --> 01:45:48,000
Speaker 16: to change a nation. Lionel Messi, Yes, the man who

1988
01:45:48,080 --> 01:45:50,920
Speaker 16: won the blondieuor for twenty twenty three as the greatest

1989
01:45:51,000 --> 01:45:54,760
Speaker 16: men's footballer of the year. No surprise there as he

1990
01:45:54,840 --> 01:45:58,800
Speaker 16: comes stateside. He leaves Paris Saint Germain will get more

1991
01:45:58,840 --> 01:46:01,439
Speaker 16: on them in a second, and it comes to Inter

1992
01:46:01,600 --> 01:46:05,439
Speaker 16: Miami to follow in the footsteps of David Beckham, the

1993
01:46:05,520 --> 01:46:10,560
Speaker 16: partial owner of Inter Miami, and becomes the face for

1994
01:46:10,680 --> 01:46:14,439
Speaker 16: the Premier Soccer League of the United States, and they

1995
01:46:14,680 --> 01:46:17,040
Speaker 16: earned trophies this year.

1996
01:46:17,160 --> 01:46:19,200
Speaker 2: They did earn the League's.

1997
01:46:18,840 --> 01:46:22,320
Speaker 16: Cup in a face off between MLS clubs and the

1998
01:46:22,439 --> 01:46:25,840
Speaker 16: clubs of Liga MX of Mexico. While they failed to

1999
01:46:25,880 --> 01:46:28,599
Speaker 16: make the playoffs this year, they will be a prime

2000
01:46:28,720 --> 01:46:32,280
Speaker 16: favorite for years to come. And really, Leonel Messi's bigger

2001
01:46:32,360 --> 01:46:34,800
Speaker 16: impact seems to be on the business side, to bring

2002
01:46:35,000 --> 01:46:40,559
Speaker 16: eyeballs to MLS, to spike numbers on Apple TV's streaming service,

2003
01:46:41,000 --> 01:46:43,840
Speaker 16: and bring some attention to MLS, which has remained still

2004
01:46:43,960 --> 01:46:47,280
Speaker 16: and is still a league and a sport in this

2005
01:46:47,520 --> 01:46:51,599
Speaker 16: country that people have doubts about, especially since we did

2006
01:46:51,680 --> 01:46:53,559
Speaker 16: this before with Pele.

2007
01:46:53,920 --> 01:46:55,959
Speaker 2: Remember for the time being.

2008
01:46:55,880 --> 01:47:00,440
Speaker 16: However, the greatest player in the world plays in Americai's

2009
01:47:00,479 --> 01:47:02,360
Speaker 16: had something to say about it as well when it

2010
01:47:02,439 --> 01:47:05,880
Speaker 16: comes to their own stamp because where Lionel Messi went

2011
01:47:05,920 --> 01:47:09,600
Speaker 16: to America, it was Christiana Ronaldo, the other great of

2012
01:47:09,680 --> 01:47:13,879
Speaker 16: this generation, who went to Saudi Arabia as the country

2013
01:47:13,960 --> 01:47:17,560
Speaker 16: became a destination for totten top names like Ronaldo and

2014
01:47:17,720 --> 01:47:23,200
Speaker 16: Kareem Benzema and neymar Men who we have identified with

2015
01:47:23,400 --> 01:47:28,400
Speaker 16: representing football in Europe for so many years, pushing the

2016
01:47:29,080 --> 01:47:32,559
Speaker 16: Saudi Super League into the spotlight and the staggering amount

2017
01:47:32,600 --> 01:47:35,720
Speaker 16: of money that the Saudis throw around. And we come

2018
01:47:35,800 --> 01:47:38,400
Speaker 16: to Europe, we come to the clubs of UEFA. We

2019
01:47:38,520 --> 01:47:41,360
Speaker 16: come to the dominance of Manchester City, not just in

2020
01:47:41,560 --> 01:47:46,000
Speaker 16: England in the Premier League, but also in the Champions League,

2021
01:47:46,280 --> 01:47:50,680
Speaker 16: being the champions of Europe to have five trophies in

2022
01:47:50,800 --> 01:47:54,120
Speaker 16: a year, adding to both of those the FIFA Club

2023
01:47:54,240 --> 01:47:59,120
Speaker 16: World Cup, the FA Cup and the Carabao League Cup.

2024
01:47:59,400 --> 01:48:02,600
Speaker 16: And it all came really with the rising star of

2025
01:48:02,680 --> 01:48:06,760
Speaker 16: their young player Earling Holland, the Norwegian phenom who was

2026
01:48:06,840 --> 01:48:11,160
Speaker 16: a goal scoring machine all year long and remains one

2027
01:48:11,160 --> 01:48:13,880
Speaker 16: of their strongest pieces as they look to try to

2028
01:48:13,960 --> 01:48:17,160
Speaker 16: continue their dominance into twenty twenty four. But let's go

2029
01:48:17,280 --> 01:48:21,000
Speaker 16: to other countries. In Italy, a historic title for Napoli,

2030
01:48:21,360 --> 01:48:25,200
Speaker 16: the legendary club that was once home to the legendary

2031
01:48:25,560 --> 01:48:29,519
Speaker 16: legendary Maradonna. And yes, since Maradonna's time, they had failed

2032
01:48:29,560 --> 01:48:34,040
Speaker 16: to capture the scudetto the trophy of winning the Italian Siria,

2033
01:48:34,439 --> 01:48:38,560
Speaker 16: and they did with wonderful players like Victor Ossiman and

2034
01:48:39,360 --> 01:48:43,679
Speaker 16: Kevichka faraxlia I Hope I said his name right. In Spain,

2035
01:48:43,920 --> 01:48:47,679
Speaker 16: Barcelona rose from their financial ashes to claim a dominant

2036
01:48:47,760 --> 01:48:50,559
Speaker 16: La Liga title, even as they stamped for the first

2037
01:48:50,640 --> 01:48:54,920
Speaker 16: time a sponsor across their stadium and across their jerseys.

2038
01:48:55,520 --> 01:48:59,519
Speaker 16: In Germany, the Giants Bayern Munich held on for yet

2039
01:48:59,600 --> 01:49:04,240
Speaker 16: another Bundesliga title, holding on for dear life and tying

2040
01:49:04,320 --> 01:49:08,759
Speaker 16: in points against Borussia Dortmund, their long rivals in the league.

2041
01:49:09,920 --> 01:49:12,840
Speaker 16: And in France, who dropped out from being the top

2042
01:49:13,080 --> 01:49:17,840
Speaker 16: one of the top five countries leagues in UEFA in

2043
01:49:18,040 --> 01:49:21,720
Speaker 16: twenty twenty three, falling behind Portugal. It seems like the

2044
01:49:21,960 --> 01:49:25,040
Speaker 16: end of an era for Paris Saint Germain, a club

2045
01:49:25,120 --> 01:49:28,840
Speaker 16: that has spent so much and so desperately wanted not

2046
01:49:29,120 --> 01:49:32,560
Speaker 16: just French glory but European glory, and chased for so

2047
01:49:32,800 --> 01:49:36,439
Speaker 16: long a Champions League crown, and appears empty handed as

2048
01:49:36,520 --> 01:49:41,000
Speaker 16: Leonel Messi goes Stateside and Namur heads for Saudi Arabia,

2049
01:49:41,280 --> 01:49:44,439
Speaker 16: leaving them with Killian and Bape whose future as we'll

2050
01:49:44,479 --> 01:49:47,280
Speaker 16: see for twenty twenty four remains up in the air.

2051
01:49:47,760 --> 01:49:50,000
Speaker 16: So as we could prepare for twenty twenty four, what

2052
01:49:50,080 --> 01:49:53,000
Speaker 16: will the new year hold? Well, it's an even year,

2053
01:49:53,080 --> 01:49:56,480
Speaker 16: which means is an exciting year in soccer. Copa America

2054
01:49:56,800 --> 01:49:59,960
Speaker 16: one of the two great in between World Cup competi

2055
01:50:00,560 --> 01:50:03,679
Speaker 16: He is coming to the United States as they will host,

2056
01:50:03,840 --> 01:50:06,839
Speaker 16: and it won't just be the South American countries competing,

2057
01:50:07,080 --> 01:50:09,400
Speaker 16: but it will also be with them the United States,

2058
01:50:09,560 --> 01:50:14,160
Speaker 16: Mexico and several other top nations from the CONCACAF North

2059
01:50:14,240 --> 01:50:17,920
Speaker 16: American region, setting up for a very fun and a

2060
01:50:18,200 --> 01:50:22,719
Speaker 16: very competitive tournament, and one that the United States really

2061
01:50:22,880 --> 01:50:25,599
Speaker 16: has a chance to show how far they've come.

2062
01:50:25,680 --> 01:50:26,400
Speaker 2: In the men's game.

2063
01:50:26,920 --> 01:50:30,879
Speaker 16: Euros waits around the corner in UEFA and can England

2064
01:50:31,000 --> 01:50:33,960
Speaker 16: claim that title that has eluded them for so long,

2065
01:50:34,960 --> 01:50:37,800
Speaker 16: And in the club scene, the backdrop of the continued

2066
01:50:37,800 --> 01:50:41,200
Speaker 16: attempts to lift off the European Super League remain. It

2067
01:50:41,360 --> 01:50:43,799
Speaker 16: doesn't seem to go away, and it has pushed YUEFA

2068
01:50:43,880 --> 01:50:46,519
Speaker 16: to make changes to the Champions League one that will

2069
01:50:46,560 --> 01:50:49,639
Speaker 16: be coming here in the second half of twenty twenty four.

2070
01:50:50,000 --> 01:50:54,599
Speaker 16: But most importantly Bernie. January first opens the transfer window

2071
01:50:54,680 --> 01:50:58,200
Speaker 16: across Europe and right out of the gate, the question

2072
01:50:58,520 --> 01:51:03,599
Speaker 16: is can realmaj Rid make this work a once again

2073
01:51:03,720 --> 01:51:07,479
Speaker 16: reported push and maybe a final push to land the

2074
01:51:07,600 --> 01:51:11,719
Speaker 16: services of killing Himbappe on the transfer Paris Saint Germaine,

2075
01:51:11,760 --> 01:51:14,960
Speaker 16: the club that we know Membape grew up adoring, that

2076
01:51:15,080 --> 01:51:17,840
Speaker 16: has wanted him for so long to have that superstar.

2077
01:51:18,200 --> 01:51:20,759
Speaker 16: But can they pull them away from the French giants.

2078
01:51:21,080 --> 01:51:24,000
Speaker 16: We will see Happy new year, Bernie, and to all

2079
01:51:24,080 --> 01:51:26,679
Speaker 16: those out there in the world of soccer, celebrate well,

2080
01:51:27,320 --> 01:51:29,800
Speaker 16: celebrate safely, and we'll see you soon.

2081
01:51:30,880 --> 01:51:34,759
Speaker 2: Happy to you, Chris. Another year of reportage of Chris's

2082
01:51:34,880 --> 01:51:40,240
Speaker 2: World of Soccer. We started this feature a few months

2083
01:51:40,360 --> 01:51:45,240
Speaker 2: before the Men's World Cup kick it off late last year,

2084
01:51:45,320 --> 01:51:48,680
Speaker 2: wrapping up about this time a year ago. We were

2085
01:51:48,800 --> 01:51:50,720
Speaker 2: way ahead of the curve. Of course, everybody jumped on

2086
01:51:50,800 --> 01:51:53,760
Speaker 2: board when World Cup started. That led into Women's World

2087
01:51:53,800 --> 01:51:56,600
Speaker 2: Cup this past summer, and of course we're now just

2088
01:51:57,080 --> 01:52:00,280
Speaker 2: six months away or so from the Paris Olympics where

2089
01:52:00,760 --> 01:52:02,920
Speaker 2: soccer roll again be on the world stage. But as

2090

Speaker 2: should be a very exciting game between the Cowboys and

Speaker 2: the Alliance. I'm Bernie Frattle. We're coming to you live

01:52:58,920 --> 01:53:01,400
Speaker 2: on the Bernie Frattle Show. We are coming you live

2106
01:53:02,040 --> 01:53:04,759
Speaker 2: from the Tyraq dot com studios here in Las Vegas

2107
01:53:04,840 --> 01:53:09,080
Speaker 2: Fox Sports or Radio. Before I go any further, I

2108
01:53:09,280 --> 01:53:11,160
Speaker 2: not only want to thank my broadcast team, I want

2109
01:53:11,200 --> 01:53:14,720
Speaker 2: to think all the callers who wade in tonight. We

2110
01:53:14,880 --> 01:53:16,519
Speaker 2: must have had at least ten callers in a very

2111
01:53:16,520 --> 01:53:21,320
Speaker 2: short amount of time, very passionate thoughts on the Russell

2112
01:53:21,360 --> 01:53:26,000
Speaker 2: Wilson situation. Some are in his corner. Most are not interesting,

2113
01:53:26,520 --> 01:53:30,200
Speaker 2: but thoughtful comments backed by what I would consider to

2114
01:53:30,280 --> 01:53:36,639
Speaker 2: be relevant specifics. And this is important because actually had

2115
01:53:36,640 --> 01:53:38,479
Speaker 2: an idea. We're gonna run with it. We're not gonna

2116
01:53:38,479 --> 01:53:40,600
Speaker 2: have any more contests like we had, but what we

2117
01:53:40,720 --> 01:53:43,360
Speaker 2: are gonna have is every Friday night at midnight, the

2118
01:53:43,520 --> 01:53:49,240
Speaker 2: midnight hour, we'll have a topic that's hot in the news,

2119
01:53:49,760 --> 01:53:51,640
Speaker 2: and we want to see where you folks weigh in.

2120
01:53:51,720 --> 01:53:55,880
Speaker 2: In this particular case. You know, this story has gotten

2121
01:53:55,880 --> 01:53:59,759
Speaker 2: a little weird. Sean Payton. They went, you know, Derek

2122
01:54:00,439 --> 01:54:03,040
Speaker 2: on Russell Wilson so they don't have to pay him

2123
01:54:03,080 --> 01:54:04,960
Speaker 2: thirty nine million dollars next year. I explain all the

2124
01:54:05,000 --> 01:54:09,400
Speaker 2: mechanics earlier, and I think you'll see Russell Wilson elsewhere

2125
01:54:09,400 --> 01:54:13,040
Speaker 2: in the league next year. Although other people defended him,

2126
01:54:13,800 --> 01:54:16,800
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson's numbers weren't that bad. As a matter of fact,

2127
01:54:16,800 --> 01:54:19,200
Speaker 2: they believe he might have been stifled by Sean Payton's offense.

2128
01:54:19,240 --> 01:54:21,879
Speaker 2: When he was able to work off script, he was effective.

2129
01:54:21,960 --> 01:54:23,920
Speaker 2: Irrespective of that, I don't think he was ever Sean

2130
01:54:23,960 --> 01:54:26,599
Speaker 2: Payton's guy. And it got even weirder when Russell Wilson

2131
01:54:26,880 --> 01:54:29,280
Speaker 2: allegedly said today that he wants to stay in Denver.

2132
01:54:29,920 --> 01:54:31,840
Speaker 2: But the point is is every Friday night on the

2133
01:54:31,840 --> 01:54:35,080
Speaker 2: Bernie Fraddle Show at midnight the midnight hour eighties here

2134
01:54:35,120 --> 01:54:39,960
Speaker 2: to stay. I was impressed with the callers. I'll be

2135
01:54:40,040 --> 01:54:42,480
Speaker 2: back on these era waves Saturday night at eleven pm

2136
01:54:42,760 --> 01:54:45,560
Speaker 2: again for the Bernie Fraddle Show break Down. A heavy

2137
01:54:45,560 --> 01:54:48,440
Speaker 2: schedule week seventeen in the NFL. We start to get

2138
01:54:48,480 --> 01:54:51,640
Speaker 2: into some playoff projections, playoff scenarios. Who has to do

2139
01:54:51,760 --> 01:54:54,840
Speaker 2: what to move up clinch a playoff spot? Who could

2140
01:54:54,880 --> 01:54:59,360
Speaker 2: be eliminated? We'll get into the college football playoff. Got

2141
01:54:59,360 --> 01:55:02,320
Speaker 2: an update on Raymond Green, Jim Harbaugh, and of course

2142
01:55:02,760 --> 01:55:04,160
Speaker 2: what kind of brand new fool of you? And what

2143
01:55:04,280 --> 01:55:05,920
Speaker 2: my name? Will have? A guest from Detroit. By the way,

2144
01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:08,440
Speaker 2: Dan Leach many years at ninety seven to one, the

2145
01:55:08,520 --> 01:55:12,520
Speaker 2: flagship of Detroit. He'll be weighing in an alliance. Also

2146
01:55:12,600 --> 01:55:16,400
Speaker 2: be back on these airwaves Sunday night, New Year's Eve,

2147
01:55:16,520 --> 01:55:21,240
Speaker 2: eleven pm Pacific, hosting the final Ben Mallord Show of

2148
01:55:21,400 --> 01:55:24,600
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty three calendar, and I'm very happy that

2149
01:55:24,760 --> 01:55:30,200
Speaker 2: my crew, Shay Mognguard and Kevin Wyatt on the updates,

2150
01:55:30,400 --> 01:55:33,040
Speaker 2: and Mark Ramsey, our technical producer, will be with me.

2151
01:55:33,120 --> 01:55:35,840
Speaker 2: We'll have the whole Spooka together. I'm glad to hear

2152
01:55:35,920 --> 01:55:38,640
Speaker 2: that guys do a great job. Appreciate everything they do,

2153
01:55:39,400 --> 01:55:43,280
Speaker 2: keeping the show glued together, turning all the dials so

2154
01:55:43,480 --> 01:55:47,360
Speaker 2: that we are audible over our six hundred affiliates and

2155
01:55:47,560 --> 01:55:52,240
Speaker 2: Sirius XM eighty three and the like. All right in

2156
01:55:52,400 --> 01:55:56,200
Speaker 2: about Papa, let's see fifteen hours from now, a little lap,

2157
01:55:56,240 --> 01:55:59,960
Speaker 2: maybe fifteen and a half hours from now, the Detroit

2158
01:56:00,240 --> 01:56:04,520
Speaker 2: Lions eleven and four, who just clinched their first division

2159
01:56:04,600 --> 01:56:10,400
Speaker 2: since nineteen ninety three, will travel to Big d and

2160
01:56:10,720 --> 01:56:13,400
Speaker 2: see whether or not the Cowboys, who have won fifteen

2161
01:56:13,400 --> 01:56:15,920
Speaker 2: in a row at home seven to zero this year,

2162
01:56:15,960 --> 01:56:20,120
Speaker 2: their road home splits are ridiculous. They're ten and five now, yeah,

2163
01:56:20,200 --> 01:56:22,200
Speaker 2: we're not living in bizarre world. The Lions are eleven

2164
01:56:22,240 --> 01:56:24,840
Speaker 2: and four, the Niners are eleven and four, and the

2165
01:56:24,920 --> 01:56:27,320
Speaker 2: Eagles are eleven and four. I think the Niners will

2166
01:56:27,320 --> 01:56:29,640
Speaker 2: still have the number one. See, but if the Lions

2167
01:56:29,680 --> 01:56:32,520
Speaker 2: win Saturday night, could get interesting. Meanwhile, the Cowboys, they

2168
01:56:32,560 --> 01:56:35,160
Speaker 2: need a big win to keep their NFC East title

2169
01:56:35,240 --> 01:56:37,600
Speaker 2: hopes a live. More importantly, they need a victory to

2170
01:56:37,640 --> 01:56:40,440
Speaker 2: stop a two game losing streak and try to beat

2171
01:56:40,480 --> 01:56:43,560
Speaker 2: a quality team while heading into the postseason. I think

2172
01:56:43,640 --> 01:56:48,040
Speaker 2: Dallas needs this psychologically. The Lions still have home field

2173
01:56:48,040 --> 01:56:51,680
Speaker 2: advantage dreams. Obviously they are going to have at least

2174
01:56:51,760 --> 01:56:56,920
Speaker 2: one game at home, and somehow, if they pull this off,

2175
01:56:57,520 --> 01:57:00,200
Speaker 2: this could happen what happened in nineteen ninety one where

2176
01:57:00,240 --> 01:57:02,960
Speaker 2: they went twelve and four and what had home field

2177
01:57:02,960 --> 01:57:06,240
Speaker 2: advantaged throughout the play. The bottom line is, let's not

2178
01:57:06,360 --> 01:57:09,080
Speaker 2: look back, let's look forward. Too many people have said

2179
01:57:09,080 --> 01:57:10,680
Speaker 2: same old Lions that I've been telling you for a

2180
01:57:10,720 --> 01:57:13,240
Speaker 2: long time. The culture has changed dramatically, And I told

2181
01:57:13,240 --> 01:57:15,440
Speaker 2: you when it happened last year when they fired Aubrey Pleasant,

2182
01:57:15,680 --> 01:57:17,800
Speaker 2: they went eight and two down the stretch. They're eleven

2183
01:57:17,800 --> 01:57:20,000
Speaker 2: and four this year. Yeah, these Detroit Lions nineteen and

2184
01:57:20,080 --> 01:57:24,400
Speaker 2: six in the last twenty five games. Now, I realize

2185
01:57:24,680 --> 01:57:27,080
Speaker 2: people don't necessarily believe in Jeron Goff.

2186
01:57:27,160 --> 01:57:27,360
Speaker 8: I do.

2187
01:57:27,960 --> 01:57:30,000
Speaker 2: I think he's better than a lot of people realize.

2188
01:57:30,640 --> 01:57:32,800
Speaker 2: But he may turn the ball over, he'll face a

2189
01:57:32,840 --> 01:57:35,240
Speaker 2: Cowboys defense and leads the league in pressure percentage. But

2190
01:57:35,320 --> 01:57:37,920
Speaker 2: here's the deal, we don't know how the Lions are

2191
01:57:37,960 --> 01:57:41,640
Speaker 2: going to react after winning the division last week? Do

2192
01:57:41,720 --> 01:57:43,440
Speaker 2: they calm down to the celebrate. I'm not one of

2193
01:57:43,480 --> 01:57:46,320
Speaker 2: those people that tries to practice psychology without a license.

2194
01:57:46,360 --> 01:57:48,720
Speaker 2: Your guys talking about, well, it's a sandwich game because

2195
01:57:48,800 --> 01:57:50,600
Speaker 2: it's between two, you don't know what's going on in

2196
01:57:50,680 --> 01:57:52,840
Speaker 2: that locker room. You might be right, you might not,

2197
01:57:53,600 --> 01:57:55,480
Speaker 2: But I wouldn't proclaim that. What do I think is

2198
01:57:55,520 --> 01:57:57,240
Speaker 2: going to happen? I think the Cowboys are gonna win,

2199
01:57:57,480 --> 01:57:59,000
Speaker 2: but I think it's going to be a close game too.

2200
01:57:59,120 --> 01:58:01,520
Speaker 2: For some reason, the Lion's gone from six to four

2201
01:58:01,520 --> 01:58:03,920
Speaker 2: and a half. Obviously a lot of Detroit money has

2202
01:58:04,000 --> 01:58:07,440
Speaker 2: come in. But she'll be watching kickoff five point fifteen

2203
01:58:08,000 --> 01:58:12,360
Speaker 2: pm Pacific Lions and Cowboys. Cowboys currently laying four and

2204
01:58:12,400 --> 01:58:15,640
Speaker 2: a half. That is going to do it for the

2205
01:58:15,680 --> 01:58:18,840
Speaker 2: Bernie Fradler Show back on these earwaves tonight Saturday night,

2206
01:58:18,880 --> 01:58:21,320
Speaker 2: eleven pm. In the meantime, keep it locked up next

2207
01:58:21,720 --> 01:58:23,920
Speaker 2: the Fellas on Fox Sports Radio.
