Speaker 1: getting on an airplane shortly and heading toward the United Kingdom,

9
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: specifically London, England as he provides street coverage of the

10
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: international series. That's right, I like that. All my music

11
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: is very Royal, the Throne of these this song, you

12
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: know you're getting comfortable in your own skin as sort

13
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: of an elitist. Actually you known from Royal Also come

14
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: and ride the train by the Quad City DJs. I

15
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: like that one. Yeah, We're I'm going to uh not where.

16
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: Don't say we're We're not going anywhere. We're gonna be

17
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: right here, thank you, third floor. Let's unpacked us. Are

18
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: there any hard feelings between you and Greg because he's

19
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: going to London and you're not between Greg and I

20
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: absolutely not. You know, I don't like to go anywhere.

21
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: Number one. Number two, My wife is eight and a

22
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: half months pregnant, so this wasn't really even in the

23
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: cards for me, uh this year, to be honest with you,

24
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: unless we would have all gone to the first International

25
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: Series game a couple of weeks back. So absolutely no

26
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 1: bad blood. Mark and Greg is a little different because

27
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: I think my vibe on the situation West is that

28
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: Mark thought after last year's trip that he had established

29
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: himself as kind of the go to around the NFL

30
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: guy for London correspondent, you know, for this to be

31
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: like taken out from under his feet, I don't see

32
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: it entirely that way. Connor was with me too, and

33
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: I guess it's a message to Connor and I that

34
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: we had not produced, we didn't produce well enough. They're

35
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: gonna send someone different, and I and I get that.

36
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: That's how it works. If you don't get the job done,

37
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: you don't go the next time. That's how life works.

38
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: Sounds like you're taking it well. I have. I have

39
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 1: felt guilty about it, like it only I felt very

40
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: guilty being able to go. I got to live up

41
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: to you know, Connor and what Marks. This is the

42
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: first head this is the first I've even heard that

43
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: Greg was going to and even mentioned it to us. Well,

44
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: I think it's a wonderful event. I got to go.

45
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: So I feel, if anything, you've got to keep going

46
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: down the list so that everyone has a chance. And Greg,

47
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: now is a good opportunity for you to let everyone

90
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: talked about which teams are gonna be forked, which means

91
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: they have no chance of making the playoffs. We've already

92
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: done five and we're gonna probably add to that list

93
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: would be my guests. So we're gonna have a fork

94
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,679
Speaker 1: Committee convention and then uh, the Thursday night football preview Chicago.

95
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: Beart is back in primetime. Everybody get excited. But let's start,

96
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: folks with some Monday night football talk. Yes from University

97
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale. The Arizona Cardinals needed to

98
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: get right, and luckily they had the New York Jets

99
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: coming to town. The New York Jets team that from

100
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: the start looked overmatched against the Cardinals, especially on the

101
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball. Um. Let's get a listen

102
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: here at just one of the many highlights for the

103
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals on Monday night. Second down, They're gonna run

104
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: it left side, David Johnson across the forty five. Great

105
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: poop of the right at the fifth he cuts back

106
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: to the left of the forty. He's listen to the thirty.

107
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: He's at the twenty ten. The street ends. The Cardinals

108
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: finally score the first quarter. It's a David Johnson fifty

109
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: eight yard touchdown run. David Johnson, baby a hop, a

110
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: skimpy john and then hit the Jets. What great patience

111
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: by David Johnson on that. Yeah, We're happy for you Jets. Yeah,

112
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: I like that. David Johnson scored on runs of fifty

113
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: eight too and two yards, and I must add he

114
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: was not touched, literally not touched by Jets defender on

115
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: any of those runs. Final score twenty to three. A

116
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: game in which Ryan Fitzpatrick was pulled halfway through the

117
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: fourth quarter in favor of Geno Smith and uh and

118
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: I will say, even as a Ryan Fitzpatrick's supporter, it

119
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: was perhaps overdue within in this game with the Jets

120
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: now one in five UH and the Cardinals are three

121
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: and three, and this was a nice, get healthy win

122
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: and we'll see if they're able to build on this.

123
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: But the Jets now one in five UH. For all

124
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: intents and purposes done uh cooked, Which made me think,

125
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: Greg Uh. And I know you are big Geno Smith fan.

126
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: We all know that that with the season essentially on

127
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: the line, they should have maybe got Gino in the

128
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: game sooner here to see if it could spark an

129
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: offense that was going nowhere in the first half. I

130
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: would have loved to seen that. I thought you saw

131
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,559
Speaker 1: some quick throws, you know, at a Genou right away,

132
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: and then some mistakes at g I'm not gonna you

133
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: can't take too much away from that drive. But I

134
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: don't think it would have mattered because they have no

135
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: run game, they have no real pass protection, they're stuck

136
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: in third and longs. That Cardinals defense and their past

137
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: starch has become a real strength of that team, and

138
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have mattered if Geno Smith and Ryan Fitzpatrick

139
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: are in that game. I don't think they're gonna be

140
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: that competitive the way it looked last night. If this

141
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: is the Chris of the Jet season. It's also the

142
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: game that made me realize that Cardinals are never going

143
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: to recapture what they had last season. They have to

144
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: play a different style, and I think Greg mentioned this

145
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: in his fantastic debriefing article that he does on the

146
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: debrief they're They're two best offensive players are David Johnson

147
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: and Larry Fitzgerald. And they can't run that deep passing

148
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: game because the offensive line can't protect Carson Palmer long

149
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: enough and frankly, Palmer isn't moving in the pocket nearly

150
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: as well as he did last year, So that deep

151
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: passing game is gone. It's just David Johnson and Larry

152
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald is this offense, and it can be complimented by

153
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: a much better defense this year. I think that gets

154
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: after the passer a little bit better than they did

155
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: last year. This is a weird takeaway, but towards the

156
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: end of the game, I just was watching Bruce Arians

157
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: last night and something just seems a little off with Arians.

158
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I know that he's obviously had some health

159
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: issues going into the year, but the whole Cardinals team

160
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: just You're right, it's not able to recapture the magic

161
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: from last year. That's said, there's a lot more if

162
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: you're a Cardinals fan then the other NFC title contender

163
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: from last year, which was the Panthers. There are a

164
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: completely different operation in this game for them. They needed

165
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: it and they got it decisively. Well they I think

166
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: they had a different outlook going against Todd Bowls. Maybe

167
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: that was part of him being a little weird. He

168
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: talked about after the game he didn't really enjoy joy

169
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: it too much because he was playing his close friend

170
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles. They also knew that the Jets were really

171
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: going to try to take away the deep pass, and

172
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: you this team looked like the Chiefs. I mean, you

173
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: do not see the Cardinals go eleven plays, fourteen plays,

174
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: sixteen play, touchdown drive. You never saw that last year.

175
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: But it worked. And you know what good coaches adapt,

176
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: They can win a lot of games. I think with

177
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: the best running back in the league and in a

178
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: decent past one of them him and Bell Right, what

179
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: I like to do during the game is text you

180
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: know Greg and Dan and West and just asked, wait,

181
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: is David Johnson a good player? Like just to be

182
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: a year and a half behind the curve on this

183
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: because he looked amazing last night, and we praised the

184
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: pay a Treat's all the time for finding out who

185
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: they are on offense around mid October and starting to

186
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: pick up from there. Well, maybe the Cardinals do that

187
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: as well. They thought they could do what they did

188
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: last year. No, you have to shift, and they've got

189
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: the running game and the running back to do it.

190
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the Arizona Cardinals upcoming schedule

191
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: now three and three and if this is um where

192
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: they're still trying to figure it out to be five

193
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: hundred through weeks six there, Okay, let's see what happens

194
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: at home on Sunday night against Seattle. That will be

195
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,479
Speaker 1: a great litmus test for them. Uh, then at Carolina,

196
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: which we don't even know what that game is anymore,

197
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: but that's a pretty tough one to punch potentially. Then

198
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: there bye week and they come home with a cupcake

199
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: against the forty niners and then travel to Minnesota then

200
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: to Atlanta back to back weeks. So this is gonna

201
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: be uh as a test if this is not the

202
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: same team West and they are not. And maybe this

203
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: was a bit of a mirrage because the Jets are

204
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: such a mess Uh, the Cardinals are still in a

205
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: lot of trouble if they don't pick up their play.

206
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: We shall see, and we should check in with my

207
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: old man and my dad, the guy who taught me

208
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: so much about the world and uh also made me

209
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: a Jet span. Let's check in with dad. Uh see

210
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: what he had to say about this game. Now, his

211
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: name is Key, He's Danda, non't doubt about it. He's

212
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: a big Jets fan. What is he going to say?

213
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: Bill game today? What is he going to bullpen? Game today?

214
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: Jets game six? Five point feeding by the hours around

215
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: of the Cardinals. H the Jets looked like a team

216
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: that didn't want to play and uh, the Arizona Cardinals

217
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: just demolished them. Um, not much to say about this game.

218
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick his last days of glatitude, or at least appearance. Uh,

219
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 1: growing off the field is sort of concerning to me.

220
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: But maybe that's just as low key attitude. I don't know.

221
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: That's the end. Um my dad. Uh yeah, I hate

222
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: to hear my dad like that. But the Ryan Fitzpatrick's situation,

223
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: let me just wrap before we move on here. Uh,

224
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: my dad is out unfits now. At least he's deeply

225
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,239
Speaker 1: frustrated by the demeanor on the field as everything crumbles.

226
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: And I will say this, I think if if the

227
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: Jets now going nowhere feel like they should be going

228
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: in a different direction, I can't get into the way

229
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: of that. But at the same time, anybody and now

230
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 1: the people that love to have fun at the Jets

231
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: expense on Twitter, we're having a ball last night. But

232
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 1: the thing with Fits was before Week seventeen, fourth quarter

233
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: last year, thirty one touchdowns, twelve interceptions, passer rating over

234
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: ninety almost four thousand yards. That guy was a special

235
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: guy in the franchise's history for one season. So I

236
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 1: have no regrets that he came back and they they

237
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: let that contract situation play out, and they actually made

238
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: the right move I thought still by bringing him back.

239
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: But at this point it seems like the magic is

240
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: gone and I can't. I can't fight And even if

241
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: they put in Geno Smith now, if they feel like

242
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: they need to put somebody else in there, I wouldn't

243
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: fight it. They're not gonna go into next week. But uh,

244
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: it tells you a lot about Geno Smith, who was

245
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: being a goober on the sideline. Again, I number one,

246
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: I would much rather see Bryce Petty than Geno Smith.

247
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: I would love to listen to Greg. I know you're

248
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 1: a fan of Geno Smith, but part of the issue

249
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: you make a change because it's ball protection and Geno

250
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: Smith is a turnover machine and that's what he's always

251
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: been and I think that he's not part of this

252
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: franchise after this season. Secondly, it's very hard to see

253
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: your dad if you're a son. Very hard to see

254
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: a parent, but especially a father struggle and that that

255
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: was hard to listen to. Dad's okay. I mean, we're

256
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: used to this. So he woke up in the morning,

257
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: he went on with his life. But that was one

258
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: of the draining loss in a very disappointing season for

259
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: the Jets. I can't remember, honestly another season where I

260
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: was this disappointed in how the team came out. I

261
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: thought they these the first six games, that if they

262
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: could get to three and three, you they'd be okay.

263
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: One in five was the worst case scenario that I

264
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: never thought could have happened. And this is where were

265
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of hope long term because a

266
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: lot of the key guys are older guys, right, you know,

267
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: even Marsh Marshall's their best offensive player right now. You

268
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: know he's he's getting up there in years. You're throwing

269
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: the ball the peak and Anderson and the running game

270
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: needs to be remodeled, and the gutt on fumes right

271
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: Nick Mangold Harris, they were almost built to make a

272
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: run like right now, but without the most essential Chris.

273
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: He's not having a good year, by the way, Uh,

274
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: he probably won't be back there next year. So yeah,

275
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: the linebacker Wilkerson on the way, he signed a long

276
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: term deal. You're thinking of Sheldon Richardson. I didn't actually

277
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: look bad yesterday. But anyway, let's let's move on depressing

278
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: situation with the Jets. But plenty of other things to

279
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: talk about, guys, so let's get to it and talk

280
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: a little news. I'm done with the tablets about just

281
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: can't take it anymore. Um. That's Bill Belichick, who, uh,

282
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: in his press conference on Tuesday, took issue with some

283
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: of the sideline equipment. Let's start, folks, when talk about

284
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: the big Ben injury. Ben Roethlisberger, UH is going to

285
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: miss some time at least one week after that knee

286
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: injury he suffered on Sunday turned out to be a

287
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: situation that required surgery. This all came down right as

288
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: we were finishing our podcast on Sunday, so our first

289
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: chance to talk about it. West but a torn meniscus

290
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: and his left knee. He won't play against the Steelers.

291
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: We're talking about the throne of ease, moron, But West? Uh? Big?

292
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: Ben out to the Steelers? Are they one of the

293
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: teams at the top of the list that go from

294
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: stud team to complete also ran as soon as the

295
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: quarterback gets hurt. I think the distance between Ben Roethlisberger

296
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: and Landy Landry Jones is the widest margin between starter

297
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: and backup in the NFL. And this the Steelers have

298
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: had salary cap problems which have prevented them from upgrading

299
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: at backup quarterback for the past what half decade, knowing

300
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: they have one of the most injury prone starters in

301
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: the league, and they've rolled out Bruce greg Kowski and

302
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: Landry Jones, two of the worst backups. And Landry Jones

303
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: every time I watch him, I remember tweeting in the preseason, God,

304
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: I hope I never get assigned another Steelers preseason again

305
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: again ever, because I can't watch Landry Jones. But well,

306
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: and we killed We killed Jerry Jones and the Cowboys

307
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: for last season having a bunch of junk behind Tony Romo,

308
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: who was known to be brittle. And the Steelers deserve

309
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: the same criticism because you're right, this has been an

310
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: issue that's popped up for them, whether it was a

311
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: suspension for Ben Roethlisberger or whether it was you know,

312
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: multiple injuries. You're gonna have to put someone in there

313
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: every season for a game or two, and the a

314
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: f C North comes down to a game or two. Right,

315
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: they do this every year. They miss stars, whether it's

316
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: Levy and Bell. You know, Westling pointed out this happens

317
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: to them, and they all so blow games like a

318
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: game in Miami that the other teams like the Patriots

319
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: or the Broncos that you're potentially fighting for seeding with,

320
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: are gonna win those types of games. And now the

321
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: Steelers are looking at a game where they're certainly, you know,

322
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: heavy underdogs at home with Landry Jones. Now they're four

323
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: and three. They're gonna come out of that by you know,

324
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: the Ravens gotta be thinking we could be four and

325
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: three with a matchup against the Steelers were right there.

326
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: The Bengals, who have been really lost this season, totally

327
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: frontloaded schedule, their schedule gets much easier. They got the

328
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: Browns this week. They're three and four. They're thinking we

329
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: could be tied for first place at the midway point.

330
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: Brown still totally alive because of what's happening in Pittsburgh

331
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: as well. I'm not gonna go there. This injury could

332
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: keep West of Us alive for another year. That's really

333
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: what the pantom line of the whole season really is,

334
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: sort of centered around this one day West drinking celebrations.

335
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, it doesn't have to involve drinking. It seems

336
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: to last year. It did not. I covered the game

337
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: last year. That's true. I drank that day though, so

338
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: someone did. Thank you. Moving on, gentlemen, uh, The NFL

339
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: will review Vante's perfix hit on Martellis Bennett, the Patriots

340
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: tight end took a cheap shot from behind um in

341
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati New England tilt this past weekend of The

342
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: review will follow the standard procedure, but rap Sheet reports

343
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 1: that we should be expecting a big, big fine, but

344
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 1: not necessarily suspension for perfect too, of course, was suspended

345
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: the first three games of this season's for his behavior

346
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: U last year West, I know you feel passionate. There's

347
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 1: now more to the story. Mike Reece of ESPN Boston.

348
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: He he founds tape or my guess is somebody leaked

349
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: to him tape of Vante Perfeck apparently stomping on the

350
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: Garrett Blunt while Blunt was on the ground. Blunt gets

351
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: up and starts pushing Vontes. Bengals say, look, the referees

352
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: didn't see it, any kind of stomping going on. But

353
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: this is part of the course, and I don't think

354
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: a player who is the benefit of the doubt. They

355
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: are now talking about the Blunt incident and that could

356
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: lead to a suspension. But this is a guy who

357
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: before the whistle is a headhunter and after the whistle

358
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 1: turns into a heel from professional wrestling, starts working on

359
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: different body parts all the time. So this is this

360
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: is his mL. He had so so many problems on

361
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: the Up to the Minute show hosted by Andrew Siciliano

362
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 1: and Fridays by Patrick Clayban. Everyone should watch this one

363
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: pm Pacific, four pm Eastern every day from our news room.

364
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: He had so many out of his mean it was

365
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: you know, oh God forbid, we uh we promote a

366
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 1: little NFL network? Why not? Vante's perfect? He had so

367
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: many behavior problems that they have to have two boards

368
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: of it. You couldn't fit all of all of his

369
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: fines on one board. I like bad boys once in

370
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: a while in my sport. Right on, there's a well,

371
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: there's a drop we need to save for the future.

372
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: I know, cut it off right at I like bad boys.

373
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: I don't like him in an FC are though, I like.

374
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: I understand where you're coming from, Mark, but when you're

375
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 1: diving at the back of a guy's knees, you're messing

376
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 1: with his like well from that you know, from that angle, yes,

377
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: seem perfect. Bad boys to own me a little bit bad.

378
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 1: I want them to have a little a hint of badness.

379
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: I would like if he played this up a little

380
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: bit more and embraced the heal character, whereas right now

381
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: he's just out to hurt people. Yeah, and doesn't the

382
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: team need to do something You would think so, But no,

383
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: the apologies just keep spilling out of Cincinnati from the

384
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: owner right on down. I like this pump pump off West.

385
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: It does because they've enabled this guy since he came

386
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: into the league. We're talking about a guy who had

387
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 1: twenty two flagrant penalties in thirty seven games at Arizona State,

388
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: contributed to a slide all the way out of the

389
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: draft when people thought he was a first or second

390
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: round talent because you couldn't keep under control. And the

391
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: Bengals just make excuses for him all the time. I

392
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: think certain things of the Bengals in West is that

393
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: deep in his mind he wants things to justify his

394
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: reason for leaving the team, even though he likes a

395
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: lot of things about the team in the last the

396
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: last five six years. So when something like this happens, like, okay,

397
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: could not be more erroneous in this situation, and there

398
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: is no player in the league like Vontes perfect, He's

399
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: just allowed to be a renegade in the Bengals do

400
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: nothing about it. There was a there was a wonderful

401
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: week a couple of years ago where West was back

402
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati and filed like a heat seeking report on

403
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: the Bengals with a Cincinnati date line, and I thought,

404
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: we need to get this guy back home taking his team,

405
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: rubbing them over the coals every day. I liked the tension,

406
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: rubbing the well, raking them or rubbed them. I don't care.

407
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: Do what you want to do a little central. It's

408
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 1: like something that happens. Maybe maybe there's a healing process

409
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: here them some hot coals. Get over here with those

410
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 1: hot coals, rubbed them on me. It's different than Ray

411
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: come over in the car. All right, m Budsman. Moving on,

412
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: The Dallas Cowboys have the best kind of problem. Uh.

413
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 1: Two quarterbacks that a lot of teams would die to have,

414
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, the dynamic young rookie, and Tony Romo, the

415
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 1: old veteran coming back from a back injury. Uh. Jerry Jones,

416
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: who previously had been steadfast in his assertion that Tony

417
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: Romo will be back in the lineup, it seems like

418
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: more and more the organization is backing off that as

419
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: a definite situation. Here's what he had to say about

420
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: the situation, uh, this week for someone that many years

421
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: has been in um after game situations where he didn't

422
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,360
Speaker 1: know what we were gonna do at quarterback and as

423
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: um late as probably a training camp, not know where

424
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: we were going at quarterback after Romo got hurt, and

425
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: to be sitting here with Dak playing a test level

426
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: and Tony getting better and better and better. Um it is, uh,

427
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,479
Speaker 1: I have to pinch myself, pinching himself. He doesn't have

428
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: to make a decision. Right. They can sit back, relax,

429
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: kick back in their offices, wait two weeks while they're

430
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: on by and enjoy the whole football world talking about

431
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott and they'll just wait until

432
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: they need Tony Romo. Well, this is setting up, you know,

433
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: slope playing it. You know what. However, they want to

434
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: publicly justify it. We want to get him back his

435
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,479
Speaker 1: strength is and back this or that. They have been

436
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: out front saying no, there's no question the second he's ready.

437
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: Now they're starting I don't even think now they're not

438
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 1: even hiding that. They're saying, look, we're in this great situation.

439
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: We're just gonna let things play out how they're gonna

440
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: play out, and we don't need Tony Romo now, so

441
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: we're not gonna do anything about it. And I don't

442
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 1: nor they're not just hiding it. Stephen Jones weeks and

443
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: weeks ago at the beginning of the year, after the

444
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: promising preseason by Dak Prescott stated openly that you know,

445
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: it's possible that this could be a Bledsoe Brady type situation.

446
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: So I think that they couldn't be more delighted. Outside

447
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: of New England. Everyone in the league would love to

448
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: have this situation. And if you're Jerry Jones, you finally

449
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: think you have a chance to win one more title

450
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: before the whole thing wraps. I do wonder what do

451
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: you mean the whole thing wraps? Because Jerry Jones is

452
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: not going to be running the cow Bays at this

453
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: level for another two or three decades. They just pried

454
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 1: their they pried their Super Bowl way open, the window

455
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 1: way open with this draft big time maybe MO. Yeah,

456
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: well I am and finally justified being on national television

457
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: twelve times a year. Let's take this. Don't you think

458
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: they have one of the best nuclei in the league?

459
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: Now I do? And you take that offensive line is

460
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: Equel Elliott and Dak Prescott and Dez Bryant. Yeah, it's

461
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: got a better nuke. It's a great lesson that these

462
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: teams that continue to draft poorly and sabotage their fan

463
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: base in their franchise for years on end. If you

464
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: draft well like the Cowboys have, suddenly you're here. By

465
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 1: the way, it is not a nuclei. It's a flock

466
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: of nucleus. Moving on, Morgan news for the New York Jets,

467
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: Eric Decker, who we knew had been moved to I

468
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: R with a shoulder injury, a torn rotator cup. Uh.

469
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: That surgery will will come, but first he has to

470
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 1: recover from a hip operation that he underwent on Tuesday.

471
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: The time table is a little murky here. The recovery

472
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 1: time for the hip surgery is six months. Uh, and

473
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 1: they were gonna They're gonna wait until he gets off

474
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: crutches from the hip surgery, and at that time he'll

475
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: have the shoulder surgery, which will slideline him for eight months. Now. Uh,

476
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: they're hoping he's ready for the start of next season,

477
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: like the Doomsday Brigade. Uh over A p FT filed

478
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 1: a post today that that his entire twenty seventeen season

479
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: is in jeopardy. I don't know about that, but we

480
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: will see. But either way, Eric Decker and any football

481
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: player and hip surgery not a good thing. So the

482
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: hits keep on coming. The greatest hits FETs for the

483
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: Jets in Oh and Oh, by the way, Dennis Bird

484
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,959
Speaker 1: died in a car accident on Saturday. The most inspirational

485
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,959
Speaker 1: Jet of all time See you Later, two thousand sixteen.

486
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: Don't let the door hitch on your ace. Doomsday Brigade

487
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: should be the name of the the season any video

488
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: for the Jets this year. It was actually the third

489
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: album by Delaware. We didn't really talk about Decker much

490
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,360
Speaker 1: in the review of Monday Night Football. I know if

491
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: that was intentional, I didn't get a note on that.

492
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: But his loss in this offense brings them closer to

493
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: where they were two seasons ago, when they had Decker

494
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: and no Marshall and they were this wide receiver crew

495
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: that simply couldn't move the ball. A lot of the

496
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 1: reason you mentioned fits his stats from last year in

497
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: his production had to do with that tandem. That duo

498
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: of wide receivers are very effective. Hopefully he gets back,

499
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: because yes, when Decker and and Marshall were clicking last season,

500
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: it was the best one to combination in the meadow

501
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 1: lends for the Jetson's Crabet and key shan Uh. Let's

502
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: move on. It is the one year anniversary, folks of

503
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 1: the perhaps the worst play call in NFL history. Let's

504
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: listen to it. Oh yeah, now we've got about a

505
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: fourth down and three. You got Griff Whalen ready to

506
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: take the snap. He'll snap, but actually Colt Anderson is

507
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: behind him. What in the world flag is down? There

508
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: is absolutely no way possible that they should have snapped

509
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: that ball and tried to sneak it. There were three, four,

510
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: five guys around two players. That was insane. Uh. I

511
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: just wanted to point that out. One year ago Today's

512
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football and one theory and I wrote this

513
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: up on the old end around NFL dot Com slash

514
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: end around probably the two worst plays in uh, the

515
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: NFL in this millennium where Millennia I was flock of Millennia. Yeah,

516
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: uh is okay? The Griff Alan Colt Anderson fake punt

517
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: and of course the butt fumble. Both happened in primetime,

518
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 1: Both happened with Alan Chris at the mic, and both

519
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: happened with the Patriots as the opponent. Do you think

520
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: playing under the lights against the Patriots in Big Bad

521
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: Bill causes teams to do funny things? Just a little theory,

522
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,719
Speaker 1: it's good connecting the dots. I think there might be

523
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: something to that paranoia strikes deep anything your mind. It

524
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: will create. Uh that's what's happening in the news. All right,

525
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: let's uh convene the for kevity. All right, this is

526
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: where we stand. Final boarding call for flight eight seventy

527
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: seven to London. This is your final boarding call, all right,

528
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 1: So here we go. We have five teams have been

529
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: forked already. The New Orleans Saints, the Jacksonville Jaguars both

530
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: two and three, both have two straight since we forked.

531
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: The Chicago Bears and San Francisco forty nine is both

532
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: one and five h and the Cleveland Browns oh and six.

533
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this list, Greg, The Jags are the

534
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: only one that gives me pause, just because their division

535
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: is so But but what about the Saints. I know

536
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: you like the Saints. Do you think there's any chance.

537
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: I think there's a chance. It's a small chance. I

538
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: give the Jaguars a better chance. I think any team

539
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: that's second in the league in points, you know they

540
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: have something good about them. They know how to score,

541
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: they have a good a great passing it. You know

542
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: that could they scrape out nine wins and sneak into

543
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs as possible. It helps that the league is

544
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: more watered down and in some cases unwatchable than ever.

545
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: I gotta, by the way NFC is, I think gotta

546
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: be tougher in the end to get into the playoffs

547
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: in the a f C. But that's just that's just

548
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: a guess right now. Thank you for bringing that up, Mark,

549
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: because we give where I have been a little hard

550
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: on Will McDonough for replacing Mike Tarico. Sean McDonald Sean

551
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,239
Speaker 1: mcdonnah excuse that his son, by the way, it is

552
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: U Sean mcdonalugh. But he did, uh stick it to

553
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: the the NFL a little bit in the Monday night

554
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: telecast by the officiating which was atrocious in that Jets

555
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: um Cardinals game yesterday. Maybe that's playing into the ratings

556
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: dip as well. Uh So, good job sewn because he

557
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: might have gotten a phone call for that, he might

558
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: have He lost. He lost his job by all accounts

559
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: as the play by play guy on the Red Sox

560
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: for being quite critical of the team and when new

561
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: ownership came in, they kicked him out the door. And

562
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: some reports out there the NFL is gonna do some

563
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: games in China. Let's let's focus on what's going on

564
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: inside a little period of isolationism right now for the NFL.

565
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: How about that you wouldn't want to I would look

566
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: the period of isolation. Just let's figure out who who's

567
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: the Trump supporter here? You're a doctrine. You're throwing us

568
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: as the Trump supporters the other night. This is sounding

569
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: rather familiar. What are you gonna build a wall? You

570
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: can only play football on the inside. Listen, my little

571
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,479
Speaker 1: boy toy quarterback is not the one voting for Trump,

572
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: but I will I will say you don't know who

573
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: he's voting for. He's publicly supported Its magnifico. That's disc anyway.

574
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: My point being, don't go to China. Make the games better?

575
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. So your peace scale greg

576
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: on those five of teams, one being your pants are

577
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: totally dry, Uh no need to change any of your underpants. Uh. Ten,

578
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: got to find a place to change all your under

579
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: pants and also your pants. Well what would would twenty

580
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: be like a flood? And that's allowing three teams you

581
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: you forked to get into the playoffs because that's what

582
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: happened last year. That's pooping yourself on your wedding day

583
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: at the altar. Uh, I would say my scale would

584
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: be a three. Okay, now, Dan, one question, changing all

585
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: your underpants? What is the person in multiple and I don't.

586
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. They've had some problems with incontinence, so

587
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: they wear multiple pairs of It's like the anti Mark Sessler.

588
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: You know, alright enough, next segment, Mark famously the only

589
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: thing separating us from Mark's junk. I don't slice the denim.

590
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: By the way, most a lot of people that live

591
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 1: in California which absolutely subscribe to uh my dress Svens.

592
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: Have you taken a survey? No? I don't take surveys

593
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: on this, nor did I expected to pop up on

594
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: a podcast that broadcast to like different nations. All right,

595
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: here we go. So those five teams are out. I

596
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,959
Speaker 1: will now, gentlemen, uh, let you know that there are

597
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: twelve teams in the league with a losing record right now,

598
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: and and so the in the Jags, Saints, Brown's Bears,

599
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: and four nineties or five of them. So there's seven

600
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: teams right now with a losing record. So let's just

601
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: go through those teams and then if you guys want

602
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: to nominate any of the teams. At five hundred Arizona,

603
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: Baltimore Detroit l A, New York Giants, and Tennessee feel free.

604
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: But I'm just gonna focus on the teams of the

605
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: losing record right now, and we might as well UH

606
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: start UH with the defending NFC champion, a team that

607
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: went UH on seventeen and two last year, but right

608
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: now they're one in five, one of two, one in

609
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: five teams we'll talk about here the Carolina Panthers. Are

610
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: we ready to say so along to a defending NFC champion?

611
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: We've never done that before this soon. I have too

612
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: much respect for them, and they've been one of the

613
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: streakiest teams in the NFL over the past two years.

614
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: They are the three time defending division champions and in

615
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: the division and never had back to back winners. I

616
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: have too much respect and had a similar start in

617
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: one of those division championships where you only won uh

618
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: seven games to to win the division title. And I

619
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: know we all like the Falcons, but you can't tell

620
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: the future, and you never know, nine wins, eight wins

621
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: might win this division for all we know. Things change fast,

622
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: so I wouldn't want to fork. I. I'm with you.

623
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: I think I want to see one more week from

624
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,959
Speaker 1: Atlanta and at one more ugly loss for Carolina if

625
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: they if Carolina stumbles one more time, you gone all

626
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 1: that does? That feels relatively safe? We want to be daring.

627
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: We should fork them right now, but none of us

628
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: want to do it. I'm not ready to fork them either.

629
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: I do believe they have a run in them, but

630
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: I also probably would have wagered my firstborn that they

631
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: would not lose five of six to start the season.

632
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: So who knows what happens with this team? Didn't just

633
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: go around wagering yeah, Jack checks, like not really, come on, bro,

634
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: no one even brought it up, and you just threw

635
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: me out. Really, you're right, to be honest, We're not.

636
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: We don't live in a society. Would you just stamble

637
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: your children? I would discuss it with my wife, like,

638
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: why would you get if you were right? Though? And

639
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: this that's what I'm saying. What if it was one

640
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:22,280
Speaker 1: billion dollars and you were completely certain? Can't completely certain

641
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: that you could. I've never been a father, but I

642
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: would think that you can't put a price on your son.

643
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: I could agree with you on that, right. You know what,

644
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: everybody get off your high horses. Oh it's a high

645
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: horse to say, oh, you're right, let's be common men

646
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: and sell our children over a Carolina Panthers football wager.

647
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. So their scheduled, by the way,

648
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: is not too tough. The next four games before they

649
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: have a double banger at Oakland, at Seattle home to Cardinals,

650
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: at Rams home to Chiefs, home to Saints. So the

651
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: rare double banger, yeah, they can do some They can

652
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: do some damage potentially and get up to five near it.

653
00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: So let's keep Carolina safe. Next up as my New

654
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: York Jets one in five. The schedule is much much

655
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 1: more manageable. But that was the thing that I said

656
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: before the season started a couple of times, since it

657
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,439
Speaker 1: was these six games, they needed to win at least

658
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:13,959
Speaker 1: half of them. Get out of the three and three

659
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 1: anything worse, you were in trouble. If you go one

660
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: and five, you're done. They got a lot of problems

661
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: with Jets. We don't see them making any type of

662
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: miracle run do we We're not stop you. They have

663
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: the worst point differentially in the NFL, and Gino Smith

664
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: has entered the conversation they're done. Yeah. That that was

665
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: one where football outsiders had them thirty first two weeks ago,

666
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: and I thought, Wow, that that's really surprising that they've thought.

667
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: You know, it's not like they're doing any thinking, it's

668
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: all it's all just data in terms of their drives

669
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: and everything. I think their defense has been even worse

670
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: than it's been talked about. I mean, I know, the secondaries,

671
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:49,760
Speaker 1: it's been one of the worst defenses in the league.

672
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: I think the if pure numbers, something's got skewed in

673
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,280
Speaker 1: that Kansas City game with the six picks eight turnovers.

674
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, no doubt about. They can't score points and

675
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: they can't fend very well. There's so many problems the

676
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: Jets are forked. I could see him win in six

677
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: or seven games. That's that's the problem. Well, doesn't mean

678
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 1: gonna make the playoffs. They do that too often. I

679
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: kind of would rather than just tank and then we

680
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 1: get a great draft pics. So a lot of Jets

681
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: fans in that last night on Twitter. They always end up,

682
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: you know, winning six to eight and you're out of

683
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: that top three spot. Which well Gino's were three or

684
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: four wins on his own. So for the yeah, for

685
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: which team, Greg, please, that guy is a goober by

686
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 1: the way throw, you know, throwing his hat on the sideline,

687
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 1: shouting loudly. You know everything you know is about Geno.

688
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: This isn't isn't. No, it's not at all. But he's

689
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 1: never seen it. No, that that was greg doesn't believe

690
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: in the effect. Gregor's a double agent who would love

691
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 1: the Jets to continue this Geno Smith romance. I mean

692
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: it was Dan even admit it was time last night,

693
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: but that sideline act was honestly the most annoying thing

694
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: Gino Smith's ever done. I believe that's a very high bar,

695
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 1: all right. Next up the Sandy Ago Superchargers at two

696
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 1: and four. Obviously, this is a team that could be

697
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: five and one. Gentleman, uh and yet they are two

698
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: and four. This can be a quick conversation. There's no

699
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 1: freaking way this is one of the best teams in

700
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: the league. On in no forking them. They have led

701
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: and they're not really they might win the division. I

702
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,280
Speaker 1: think they have an outside chance to make the playoffs.

703
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: One of these teams were discussing is gonna do something

704
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: really weird? Right? They the craziest that they have led

705
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: their games by an average of six points at any

706
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: point in the game that's second in the league. I mean,

707
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: most of their stats are with top five to six

708
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 1: types of teams. Obviously, you got to learn how to

709
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: finish out games and their next two weeks or at

710
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: Atlanta at Denver. So you know they're gonna it's gonna

711
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 1: be hard for them to split those. They gotta get

712
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: something down a little bit. They gotta they gotta split those.

713
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 1: I know that they should have won those games, but

714
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 1: that's what teams do that aren't great teams. They blow

715
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: game after game and now you've got to killer road matchups. Well,

716
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: we'll say, well, I feel like we'll be talking about

717
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: the charges again in a few weeks, but we'll say

718
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: maybe I'm wrong. Next up the Miami Dolphins, another two

719
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: and four team. We were just saying less than a

720
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: week ago they were the worst team in the NFL.

721
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 1: They beat the Steelers in a game. You gotta give

722
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: him credit for it, but Big Ben gets hurt West

723
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 1: the does a change your your thoughts on them at all?

724
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: After that went over the Steelers to keep them alive.

725
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 1: Now these are stinking dogs. M for the only reason

726
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: they still exist on this podcast is because you were

727
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: trying to stick it to Hank and you refused to

728
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: fork them. You want to You wanted to watch them

729
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:40,959
Speaker 1: dangle for a few weeks. I was having a little

730
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 1: fun with that. I wasn't quite prepared to fork him

731
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: now at that point. But if I look at this,

732
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 1: they really dominated that game, even before Roethlisberg got hurt.

733
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 1: In terms of their offensive line, I think they found

734
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: a good running back in a giant Ryan Tannehill, for

735
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: all the problems he's had, is throwing the best deep

736
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: ball of his career. That's usually the one thing that's good.

737
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,240
Speaker 1: But they just last for Shot Jones for the year West.

738
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: I know you said that's their best player since to

739
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 1: start strong safety in the NFL. I'm ready to fork

740
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: them anyways, I am not ready to fork them. I

741
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: think I gotta I gotta. I think they gotta run

742
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: in them that will get them to five. This is

743
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:15,359
Speaker 1: getting to be I don't know if it's a bit,

744
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: but I really like it's I'm not ready yet. I

745
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: think they I don't want them to get back to

746
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 1: five and then be like, why did we do that? Well?

747
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: I don't even believe this, but I honestly do think

748
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: they're hosting the Bills this weekend, so that there and

749
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: then they have a bye that could that could? You know?

750
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: For a couple of bad Miami teams usually have one

751
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: run and uh you know, then they usually crash back

752
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: down to earth again. But I'm just not ready yet.

753
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: I want to make sure they're dead before I say

754
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 1: they're dead. And not just my opinion. That is annoying

755
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: because I want them out of my life and you

756
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 1: have the power to keep them in my life. Not really,

757
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about him either way. Um, I'm not

758
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: being promotional with this. So you saved the Dolphins. I

759
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 1: guess I saved the Dolphins. How about that again? Listening

760
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:04,320
Speaker 1: hack twice? You saved the Dolphins? Uh? Was I alone

761
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: last time? Really? That's weird? Alright. The Indianapolis Cults also

762
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: two and four, coming off just a dreadful loss uh

763
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: at Houston. But at the same time, once again a

764
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 1: butt division the a F C. Sell And and the

765
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: best quarterback in the division by far. Yeah, and the

766
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: first place team is led by brock Oswidler. Fair enough, Mark,

767
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: It's very boring, but yes, I'll keep them around, all right.

768
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: Next up, a team near and dear to Chris Westling

769
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: start even sometimes private moments of crisis in terms of

770
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 1: faith and faith abandoned. The Cincinnati Bengals two and four.

771
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,280
Speaker 1: No evidence at the same Bengals of last year, especially

772
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 1: with all those missing pieces on offense. Uh and yet West,

773
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: you still think there's a chance they can get a

774
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: little hot and make a run, right. Yeah, They've got

775
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: some issues the offensive line for one, the running game

776
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: for two, and their linebackers, which are terrible in past coverage.

777
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 1: That's the third issue. But the Steelers don't have a

778
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: quarterback right now. The Ravens are three and three, and

779
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 1: the Steelers and Ravens play each other. The Bengals have

780
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: a chance to make up some ground in the next

781
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 1: few weeks. Yeah, I look at the next three weeks,

782
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: Brown's home loss, Redskins home game, and then a bye week.

783
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,359
Speaker 1: So it's not hard to imagine us entering week ten

784
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 1: and there four and four. What will we say when

785
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: Hugh Jackson executes a big old w on Marvin Lewis

786
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: a lot of Brown's wins this year. I have to say, I,

787
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: you know, I will be right probably once I'd be happy.

788
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: I want the Browns and the Jets to win some games.

789
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: It's lighter in here on a Sunday. But we just

790
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: talked about the fact that the the a s C.

791
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: North is open for business for three or four teams,

792
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: So to fork the Bengals would be a tad contradictory

793
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 1: to what we just said twenty twenty minutes ago. I

794
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: am emotionally disconnected from this Jet season. So you're not

795
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 1: gonna me dark like weeks seventeen last year. It just

796
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: won't happen. I'm I'm I I get it. Way to

797
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 1: protect yourself, Dan, thank you. The last team we'll talk

798
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 1: about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers two and three. Uh, you

799
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 1: know Greg's boys, but really don't seem to be going

800
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: anywhere this season anyway. But Greg, your thoughts on the

801
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:22,879
Speaker 1: Bucks at two and three, well, they've been a lot

802
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: worse than I ever would have imagined. Uh, they're lucky

803
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:27,919
Speaker 1: to be two and three. They easily could be one

804
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: and four. Um, and I think teams can change though

805
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:34,439
Speaker 1: in the season. That's why we always get these wrong

806
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 1: that you know we keep I listened to our podcast

807
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 1: the other night, and you know we have these thoughts

808
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,479
Speaker 1: of like this is what this team is for this year,

809
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,839
Speaker 1: and we and we just know from experience, So many

810
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 1: of these teams are gonna have such different stories in

811
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 1: six weeks. They're gonna they're gonna have totally different narratives.

812
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: Do I think the Bucks, who I believed in before

813
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: the season, could turn around. Absolutely, We're not forking this team.

814
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 1: I went fork the Bucks with Gusto. This is a bad,

815
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: bad football team, and I agree they they're gonna have

816
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: to totally change. I agree they can change. They can

817
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,439
Speaker 1: get a lot worse the rest of the season. They've

818
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: got injury problems. For come with Gusta. The Bucks are terrible.

819
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 1: They are worse than they were under Lovey Smith right now,

820
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: and listen, you don't have Doug Martin, you don't have sins.

821
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: I get all that, but I mean what we're talking

822
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 1: about this is a playoff team. That's the exercise. They

823
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: are not a player. I think I think that I

824
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 1: think Winston can be a playoff type of quarterback. I

825
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: think the injuries that they've had some of the a

826
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 1: lot of those guys are coming back. I mean they

827
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: have been and I are on two write not not

828
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: all of them, but some of them are coming back. Yeah,

829
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: you just you need a whole lot to happen in

830
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 1: the end, and then here's nine of them becoming even

831
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: an average. Here's this bigger thing there two and three

832
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: as bad as they've been there two and three. I

833
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: think the Titans after four weeks were the worst team

834
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 1: in the in the league for those four weeks, but

835
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: they had some things that were okay. They've started building up.

836
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 1: They had snuck out one of those wins. Then the

837
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 1: schedule gets easy. Suddenly they're three and three and things

838
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: are looking pretty good. I think that can happen for

839
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: the box. I mean for your sake, because this is

840
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: the team that you have about fourteen sandwiches riding wins,

841
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: and let's keep him around. I'll keep him around for

842
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:15,399
Speaker 1: another week. I don't have a problem with it. That's

843
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 1: not up to you anyways, it's gotta be unanimous. Well, wow,

844
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: he's you were trying to mark, honestly, and what happens

845
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:29,320
Speaker 1: to get snapped? That's true, I got sydneyed. Greg. Please

846
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: report to the gate for final boarding. This will be

847
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 1: your final boarding call, right, you really should go, by

848
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: the way, we were urging you to leave you alright,

849
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:40,720
Speaker 1: So as soon as you leave the studio, we're forking

850
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 1: the bucks. Here we go, so we just we have

851
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:47,720
Speaker 1: forked one team today, the New York Jets, which gives

852
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 1: us six teams forked in all and uh, I might

853
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 1: as well since i'm here, Greg, you're making me uncomfortable.

854
00:44:55,680 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go either. Go Greg, We're to get to

855
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,479
Speaker 1: the airport twelve minutes before the airplane leaves. But you're

856
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: flying to a different country. Get there. It wouldn't be

857
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: sad about it. Let's play Greg off. All right, guys,

858
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:14,399
Speaker 1: have fun. Thank you, thank yourself, Thank you. I hope

859
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: you're not really mad at anymore. I'm not. I don't

860
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: want to go anywhere right now, staying right here in

861
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: California until he gets a couple of drinks and it's

862
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: gonna come off my fault. I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try.

863
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:25,840
Speaker 1: I do feel a responsibility to do. Uh do a

864
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: really good job. I know you feel that too. There

865
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 1: are narratives being constructed. Don't worry, You're fine, fly off.

866
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:35,399
Speaker 1: Have fun. It's giving me the I'm not at all.

867
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 1: Have fun. Have fun. Right, I'll see you, guys. You

868
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,800
Speaker 1: might as well do a little Jets eulogy. Here and

869
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: here lies the New York Jets, a win now team

870
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:50,880
Speaker 1: that had no idea how to win now. They are

871
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 1: survived by Browning, Nagle, Louis Aguiar, Chad Gascadden, Leon Washington,

872
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: Me and my dad, Come Flowers and Jeff Cumberland and

873
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:05,800
Speaker 1: little Flowers. Please provide my two sons, both born and unborn,

874
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: with a chance. You read into that however you want.

875
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,359
Speaker 1: Just give him a chance, a chance that I didn't have.

876
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: Whether that's the Jets becoming a team that you could

877
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: be proud to root for at some point, maybe they

878
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: get their Belicheck, or maybe they do become fans of

879
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,799
Speaker 1: another franchise. I can't I can't fight them too if

880
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 1: they don't want to root for the Jets. What what

881
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 1: are the Jets given me? Yeah? I mean just to

882
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: point out, you just put your dad on blast for

883
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,840
Speaker 1: the one lone parenting mistake he made, which was having

884
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 1: you be a Jets fan. So are you looking to

885
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 1: continue that on another generation? You know what, I don't

886
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 1: even blame my old man because it was nineteen eighty

887
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: and the Jets were still you know, about ten eleven

888
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 1: years or moved from Namoth. He didn't know how bad

889
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 1: the next thirty five years would be I now know

890
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 1: what's going on here. There's something very dark. There's a

891
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 1: funk around my favorite team, and I you know, if

892
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:05,359
Speaker 1: my sons want to go down a different road, they can.

893
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 1: And now a word from our sponsor. Are you concerned

894
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,919
Speaker 1: about your friend group? Have they devolved into nothing more

895
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: than a simple minded gang of lads who, of late

896
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:20,760
Speaker 1: have been totally hoodwinked by the Chicago School of Economic Theory.

897
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:24,320
Speaker 1: The Chicago School Are you serious? A system of thought

898
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: directly opposed to the Knesian paradigm and based around the

899
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 1: scattered brainstorms of Milton Friedman, the Chicago based economists who

900
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 1: taught that the government interfered in the economy and should

901
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: instead play a dramatically lesser role, preferring to abolish the

902
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:43,320
Speaker 1: Federal Reserve West but accepting its existence only to increase

903
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: the money supply. You're no shield for the Fed. But

904
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 1: what is Milton Friedman smoking? Beyond the basic debate? The

905
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 1: idea that yourself satisfied anti Keynesian friend group would huddle

906
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: in taverns trumpeting their little Chicago School ramblings is disorienting.

907
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 1: It is unrewarding. Does friendship even have meaning anymore? You

908
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 1: ask yourself. I see these dim clowns, you whisper. I

909
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: spot these former pals of mine, wandering up and down

910
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 1: the street, eating strawberry ice cream, digging their forks into

911
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 1: flame mignons, slapping themselves on the back as they giggle.

912
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 1: We aren't Kynesians where Chicago school devotees bouncing around to

913
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:23,319
Speaker 1: and fro getting our jollies. I won't accept this, you say,

914
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:26,799
Speaker 1: I won't. I will not sign up today for Mr

915
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: Flames High School Economic Class in the Hague, the Netherlands

00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 1: at ww dot flame class dot com. Who's clearing this copy?

917
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: By the way, a little fun peek behind the curtain.

918
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:47,319
Speaker 1: Mark accidentally sent higher the rant of a madman, uh

919
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: to the entire newsroom where you meant to send it

920
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:51,879
Speaker 1: to yourself. Was it just to print it out? Yeah,

921
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 1: because the way that uh the word is set up

922
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 1: on my Mac is that you seemingly you cannot print

923
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 1: something unless you send it to someone first comes out

924
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 1: with sixteen. It's a little odd and you know we've

925
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: all done this. Uh, you sent something wide and you

926
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 1: you realize it was a disastrous move, and you just

927
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 1: I felt like a flush of hot nerves and blood

928
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: rushed through me as like multiple like executive figures came

929
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:18,720
Speaker 1: out of their office like Cessler. What's that? I imagine

930
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 1: like Aaron cost really jumping onto a look and reading

931
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: the rantings of a Uni bomber Mark's manifesto. It's a

932
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,919
Speaker 1: wild thing to be sent wide as well. It's it's

933
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 1: concerning um all right, let's oh, you know what I

934
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 1: want to do? Speaking of the Panthers, who we did

949
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 1: good news for you to share up your day. We

950
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: just had a meeting of the fork committee, and the

951
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers, despite being one in five and on some

952
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: level you could argue a laughing stock this season, have

953
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 1: not been forked. We did not fork. The Panthers still

954
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 1: alive in the mind of our team. We thought that

955
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:57,359
Speaker 1: might brighten your day. Is the biggest Panthers fan we know. Uh,

956
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,360
Speaker 1: that's good to hear. I personally have kind of mentally

957
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 1: forked them so so, but I'm glad that in the

958
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 1: minds of you guys that they're still hope. Um. I

959
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:11,400
Speaker 1: did have a question for you, uh, you know, because

960
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 1: I know you had a lot of excitement around this

961
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 1: team entering the season and uh, coming off of course

962
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl birth, and was just curious how this

963
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: in terms of a shock h the team kind of

964
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 1: coming out of the gate and falling out its face

965
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 1: in terms of shock value to you, how that's stacked

966
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 1: up with the sudden end of your college relationship with

967
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 1: your ex girlfriend, because I know that one really knocked

968
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 1: you on your butt for a while. That's a good question. Um. Uh,

969
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 1: let me, let me give that a little bit of

970
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: thought for a second. I'd say that, um, what was

971
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 1: her name? By the way, Um, anyway, what was her name?

972
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:56,759
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go into that. Uh, So I

973
00:51:56,760 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 1: would say that she heard more of a surprise. You

974
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,880
Speaker 1: could see you could kind of see the relationship criming

975
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: to a halt. Yeah. Back back then and this was this,

976
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 1: I was much more optimistic about the Panthers than I

977
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 1: was for that the long term as of that relationship.

978
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 1: This season feels like you trying to probably you did

979
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 1: multiple times, trying to get back together with her, and

980
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 1: it's equally, you know, a messy disaster on some level. Well,

981
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: you know, Mark all all ends our choppy. So I'm

982
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:30,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to go it's coming from my boss,

983
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:33,319
Speaker 1: So I'm a little concerned that word. But how's that going?

984
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 1: By the way, as the has the dynamic, it was

985
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 1: a little choppy to use the word, uh in the beginning,

986
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 1: Westling Sessler Eely dynamic in uh late October, well all starry,

987
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:49,919
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, we once we once we got over

988
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,960
Speaker 1: Mark's issues with early morning shifts, then they started to

989
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:56,279
Speaker 1: go a little bit better. But I remember, well, I'm

990
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:58,319
Speaker 1: not quite sure what that means. But I was going

991
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,799
Speaker 1: to let you know that I know that you've been on.

992
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:02,919
Speaker 1: You know, we've been on. I am with Dave during

993
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 1: the show. We have to be in communication with our

994
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 1: boss and he um, he's a little peaked at us

995
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 1: because two or three news items came up that we

996
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:11,040
Speaker 1: have refused to write because we're up here. But I

997
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 1: want to let you know that West and I are

998
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:14,800
Speaker 1: going directly to uh a tavern up the street to

999
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:17,839
Speaker 1: watch the baseball playoffs after this podcast ends. Just want

1000
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:21,479
Speaker 1: to let you know. Deal. That sounds great, That sounds

1001
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 1: like a responsible thing to do. This is a Dodgerstown, West,

1002
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 1: where are you at? I think that things did start

1003
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:29,720
Speaker 1: out a little bit rocky, but Dave has been uh,

1004
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 1: he's been very fair. He's been totally receptive, receptive to suggestions,

1005
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 1: and he's he's been great a rainmaker. All right, good,

1006
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 1: I have one more surprise to you day before I

1007

1011
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 1: side of David really one of the all time Panthers haters. Connor,

1012

Speaker 1: Welcome to the Round the NFL podcast. Okay, pound everybody, Connor,

1013
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:09,319
Speaker 1: how's your David so far? How did you catch any fish?

1014
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:10,880
Speaker 1: The Connor? Was that fishing today? I don't know if

1015
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:14,400
Speaker 1: you knew that down? Yeah, I don't know that I

1016
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: didn't catch any but it was it was beautiful, it

1017
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:21,440
Speaker 1: was it was fantastic. What's everybody up to? What are

1018
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 1: we doing? Well? I just thought I thought maybe you

1019
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 1: would have a couple of pot shots at Italy, But

1020
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:28,359
Speaker 1: it seems like you guys are in an okay place. No. Well,

1021
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 1: you know what, It's funny because I thought I've been

1022
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 1: looking forward to this moment for like a year, and

1023
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 1: now that it's finally here, it's like, you know, like

1024
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 1: like Steve Jobs, I'm onto the next thing. I've already

1025
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 1: figured it out, you know, I'm waiting for everybody. I'm

1026
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 1: waiting for everybody shot to know what the iPhone is.

1027
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 1: I'm already onto the next I'm already predicted the downfall

1028
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 1: the Raiders in two years. They're the Viking. Interesting, you know,

1029
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 1: I'm onto it. You know, so you've already laid waste

1030
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:01,399
Speaker 1: to the Panthers and the key Pound Nation and there's

1031
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 1: just more to more to handle in your life. Well

1032
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 1: you know, yeah. But at the same time, I mean,

1033
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 1: you know, the proper amount of credit would be would

1034
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:13,960
Speaker 1: be good. I think like last year during the Super

1035
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:16,759
Speaker 1: Boy I said this was gonna happen. Uh, this year

1036
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 1: on I said it a bunch of times, and uh,

1037
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 1: you know, I don't like profiting off of the misfortune

1038
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:25,799
Speaker 1: of others. But you know, hey, one at five and

1039
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:28,320
Speaker 1: this guy was screaming it all along from New Jersey

1040
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:31,320
Speaker 1: who was listening. There you go, Eily, any final thoughts

1041
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:34,839
Speaker 1: on that. I mean, the Connors attempt to take their

1042
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 1: high road here is laughable. I mean, his way of

1043
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 1: moving on and saying that he's moving past the Panthers

1044
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 1: is just a low key way of saying that they're

1045
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:47,399
Speaker 1: beneath him in my opinion. So, um, this is all

1046
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:49,840
Speaker 1: going to be filed into next week schedule of Connors.

1047
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:54,799
Speaker 1: You know. Oh got bad? Alright, Eally, get off the

1048
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 1: phone before your employees hate you even more. My god,

1049
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:01,319
Speaker 1: all Connor, can you stay on the line with us

1050
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 1: for a minute or two? Yeah, yeah, that's cool. What's

1051
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:05,840
Speaker 1: what's up? What's going on? What's up? We have a

1052
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 1: couple of things I want to talk about with you,

1053
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:10,240
Speaker 1: like right off the top, West, do you wanna see

1054
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 1: this one up? Some news with your Madden franchise coming

1055
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 1: to life. Yeah, that Nile Mile is moving from Portland

1056
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 1: to Green Bay. Nile Davis has been traded to the Packers.

1057
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 1: How do you feel about that? Nile Davis? Just so

1058
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 1: people listening, Uh, Connor's Madden team which was used to

1059
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:30,799
Speaker 1: be anchored by Griff Whalen, who ironically or coincidentally, I'm

1060
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 1: not sure which one. Uh, this is the one year anniversary,

1061
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 1: of course of Griff Griff Whalen's lowest moment. Uh, Nile

1062
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:44,440
Speaker 1: Davis became the second franchise player with your Madden franchise. Yeah,

1063
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 1: it's certainly a proud moment for me. Uh. And just

1064
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 1: the fact that I keep picking the most random apt

1065
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 1: players from like Madden two thousand twelve and that they're

1066
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:58,840
Speaker 1: still having some tangential impact on the NFL is really

1067
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:01,680
Speaker 1: not only a credit to me, but well, yeah, like

1068
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 1: mostly a credit to me. What about like now that

1069
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:06,840
Speaker 1: you're married and you've got the mortgage and you've got

1070
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 1: all those things going on, are you still playing You're

1071
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:12,319
Speaker 1: Mad in two thousand twelve console. Well, first of all,

1072
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:15,800
Speaker 1: big up to eight s boards for sending around the

1073
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 1: NFL A trial copy of the New High I do

1074
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 1: not have a PS four. I played it at my

1075
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 1: custom cousin, Justin's house. Unbelievable. Uh, but that being said,

1076
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 1: never going to give up. Uh, marriage, you know, kids,

1077
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 1: whatever is down the corner. You know, the hogs, they're

1078
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 1: always they're they're gonna keep going. We're gonna keep going forever.

1079
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 1: Connor had mentioned to me that while I get to

1080
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 1: keep going thing with Matt and that you, you know,

1081
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 1: I it sounds like you do give an ample amount

1082
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:49,920
Speaker 1: of time to your wife and future children, but at

1083
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 1: the same time that you've delved deep into PC online

1084
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:56,720
Speaker 1: adventure games of some sort, which sounds like a much

1085
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:59,919
Speaker 1: bigger wormhold than playing a few games of Madden. Well,

1086
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 1: it's kind of like, you know, once you figure out, like,

1087
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 1: for example, you predict something like the Panthers, and then

1088
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 1: you sort of unlock your mental capacity. I thought, why

1089
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 1: am I just focusing on the NFL. Why can't I

1090
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 1: play Age of Empires and rule the world? And so,

1091
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's kind of the next step

1092
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 1: for me mentally. That felt right, so kind of almost

1093
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 1: expanding your ambitions a little bit. Yeah, you know, I

1094
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 1: think you know, like, you know, guys that I talked

1095
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 1: to listen to a lot of Ted talks. Uh, you

1096
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 1: know it's me. You know, the Kanye West is running

1097
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 1: for presidents, so you know, this is uh kind of

1098
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 1: what what smart people do with their free times. You know,

1099
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:45,760
Speaker 1: I hear you on that, um all right before we go, uh,

1100
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:47,320
Speaker 1: and the Connor would love to have you sit in

1101
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 1: on this as well. We're gonna talk about the Thursday

1102
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:53,440
Speaker 1: night football game between the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers.

1103
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:57,160
Speaker 1: And I guess i'd be curious, Connor, your thoughts on

1104
00:58:57,400 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, who is really because it has been coming

1105
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 1: a major storyline in this season. Now, why is the

1106
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 1: best quarterback in the world? Not that anymore? What is

1107
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 1: your theory on this? Now? Can we let's stop this

1108
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 1: because you know what's gonna happen is we're all gonna

1109
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 1: say this stuff and then like nine weeks later, when

1110
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 1: he passes for like thirteen thousand yards over nine weeks,

1111
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna do that thing where it's like, oh, well,

1112
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 1: but you didn't believe. No, well, you know what, you're awesome,

1113
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 1: and I don't think so it's it's gonna be fine

1114
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:31,800
Speaker 1: the world, the sky isn't falling, and everything's everything. So

1115
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:34,880
Speaker 1: you're saying a seventeen game sample isn't enough to shake

1116
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 1: your confidence in this guy becoming Aaron Rodgers again. No, No,

1117
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 1: he's uh, he's electrifying. Uh. If he ever wanted to

1118
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:46,720
Speaker 1: play for the Hogs, I got some cap issue, but uh,

1119
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 1: he would, he would be one of my first pick. Love,

1120
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 1: great guy, great guy. What do you guys think about

1121
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 1: this game? And Mark, I know you're not very excited

1122
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 1: about the prospect of another Chicago priante. I don't know

1123
00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 1: what they what the what was the strategy here? You know, Hey,

1124
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 1: we've got we've got thirty two teams to work with.

1125
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 1: We've got to squeeze a couple of these want to

1126
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:09,360
Speaker 1: be clubs into prime time. We get that. Everyone is

1127
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:12,320
Speaker 1: you know, we're copathetic with that. But it is the

1128
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 1: middle of October and we're about to be treated if

1129
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:17,240
Speaker 1: that's the word you want to use to the Bears

1130
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 1: for the third time at night. Now, I have a

1131
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:22,400
Speaker 1: much better things to do with my evenings than to

1132
01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 1: watch this team. I will find something better. Maybe I'll

1133
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 1: start to play Age of Empire, if that's what it's called.

1134
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 1: I would rather watch a very uncomfortable, squeamish Dean Blandina

1135
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:36,959
Speaker 1: attempt to justify the catch rule on an endless loop

1136
01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 1: for hours and hours, and spend any time previewing a

1137
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:43,440
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears game. And I think this is the last

1138
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:47,320
Speaker 1: Bears unless they decided to start just flexing them in

1139
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:50,560
Speaker 1: lexing it out. Yes, we I think, um, I think,

1140
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 1: I certainly think the Packers will get healthy in this game.

1141
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 1: Bears are one in five. The Packers. Uh, you know

1142
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:00,680
Speaker 1: they could use a confidence booster here, and maybe Chicago

1143
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:04,440
Speaker 1: gives it to him. Uh, but make sure on our

1144
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 1: next the next time you hear from us, we will

1145
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:09,919
Speaker 1: be recapping that game. Actually be West and I because

1146
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 1: Greg is in London recapping a Thursday night game. And

1147
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:17,440
Speaker 1: then we'll recap or preview all of the week seven

1148
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 1: games to come. Connor, and it just it keeps coming

1149

Speaker 1: the week after week after week. Buddy, you gotta keep pounded, daddy,

1150
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:29,280
Speaker 1: you gotta keep pounded. Um. All right, that's it. Uh,

1151
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:32,640
Speaker 1: that's it for today's show. Uh, Like I said, we'll

1152
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 1: be back late Thursday night. But until then, Uh, this

1153
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 1: is Dan Hansas signing off for a quiet storm, the Mailman,

1154
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 1: the Boss, dave Ealely, the new Boss, Connor or you

1155
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:57,480
Speaker 1: kidding me? And lasts in behind the glass down Thursday

1156
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 1: all right, said let's go, oh, Greg, I think I

1157
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:21,680
Speaker 1: fixed it all right good just like two seconds. Just

1158
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 1: for the record, that's Greg. That's yeah, that was you know,

1159
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 1: it's not a reflection. We have a relationship where we

1160
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 1: can be honest. That's what you think, do you
